Luther said, "Now we still have to do with a God who is veiled, for in this life we cannot meet God face to face. At the same time, the whole creation is a kind of 'face' or mask of God."
Commentary on Gal. 2:6, 1535; quote by Barth, CD I/1 p.168 [study ed. p.165]
Then Barth said, "This secularity, this twofold indirectness, is in fact an authentic and inalienable attribute of the Word of God itself. Revelation means the incarnation of the Word of God. But incarnation means entry into this secularity.We are in this world and are through and through secular. If God did not speak yo us in secular form, He would not speak to us at all. "
CD I/1, p.169 [p.166]
我讀到"secularity"的時候頓了一下，因為不太確定巴特在這裡指的是什麼意思。
回覆刪除我在想巴特想要表達的意思是，「基督信仰是進到這個世界的」，並且「上帝是以我們能夠明白的secular form (e.g.人類的語言)與我們說話」。換句話說，道成肉身不是一個抽象的理念、想法，而是真實到可以觸及你我的生命的。
請問這也是你的理解嗎?若不然，可以請問一下你的理解嗎?
