基督徒会被咒诅吗? The Bible says we should not be afraid and that nothing shall harm us because we are protected in Jesus Christ. 然而, there are many Christians, who live in fear and are afraid to be cursed by people, especially those, who move in the occult realm. This fear of curses is mainly developed by all kinds of false doctrines, which are preached about curses. But should Christians be afraid of curses? Should Christians be afraid to be cursed? Can a curse touch Christians? 基督徒会被人咒骂吗? What does the Bible say about curses and about Christians being cursed?
Balaam couldn’t curse God’s people
在旧约中, God’s people lived under God’s protection. God was with His people and His people were blessed and protected as long as they kept the commandments and precepts of the covenant, between God and His people, and walked after His will. Because God was with His people, the people were victorious and untouchable for the people around them and no curse could touch God’s people
Take for example the story of Balaam. Balaam was approached by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse God’s people, since God’s people were stronger than Moab.
But God said to Balaam, that he wouldn’t curse the people, since His people were blessed. And so when Balaam spoke the words of God, Balaam blessed the people instead of cursing the people (Numbers 22-24).
In one of the blessings, which God spoke through the mouth of Balaam, 神说, “blessed is he that blesses thee, and cursed is he that curses thee” (Numbers 24:9).
Therefore God’s people didn’t have to be afraid, because God would protect His people and whosoever would harm His people, would be harmed by God (另请阅读: ‘The doctrine of Balaam').
Goliath cursed David
And when the Philistine (Goliath) looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countanance. And the Philistine said unto David, am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods ((1 Samuel 17:42-43)
在旧约中, we read about the fight between David and Goliath and how Goliath cursed David. But although Goliath cursed David, the curse couldn’t touch David, and David overcame Goliath.
Jezebel cursed Elijah
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, 说, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there (1 国王 19:1-3)
Jezebel cursed Elijah, but the curse couldn’t reach Elijah, since God’s hand was upon his life. Although Elijah fled to save his life and requested to die, when he sat under the juniper tree in the wilderness, God had another plan for his life. 后 40 days and nights, God spoke to Elijah and commanded Elijah to return.
The words of Jezebel never came to pass and Elijah didn’t see the death. But Elijah was taken by a chariot of fire and horses of fire and went up by a whirlwind into heaven (2 国王 2:1-12).
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper
看哪, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, 主说 (以赛亚 54:16-17)
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come (箴言 26:2)
If in the Old Covenant a curse couldn’t reach God’s people, who lived in obedience to the will of God, how come that suddenly in the New Covenant, which is a better covenant, a curse can reach God’s people and a Christian can be cursed?
Can a born again Christian be cursed?
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, 照着他大能的运行, 他在基督里所做的事, 当他使他从死里复活时, 使他在天上坐在自己的右边, 远高于一切公国, 和电源, 并且可能, 和统治, 以及每一个被命名的名字, 不仅在这个世界上, 但也在即将到来的事情中: 并将万物置于他的脚下, 并让他为教会作万有之首, 这是他的身体, 充满万有者的丰盛(以弗所书 1:15:23)
因为神性的一切丰盛都有形有体地居住在他里面. 你们在他里面是完全的, which is the head of all principality and power (歌罗西书 2:9-10)
Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they (希伯来语 1:3-4)
Jesus Christ is King and is seated on the throne at the right hand of God the Father in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named.
每个人, who is born again in Jesus Christ and belongs to the Church; the Body of Christ is seated in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Blessed One (标记 14:61).
那些, who are seated in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places, are far above all principality, 力量, 并且可能. They are blessed in Him and live as priests, who are devoted to Jesus Christ and God the Father, and reign with Him as kings.
As long as a person stays in Christ and walks after the Spirit in His love, which means that (s)he stays obedient to His words and His 诫命, no curse shall be able to touch the person. 所以, it is impossible to curse Christians, who are born again.
A born again Christian shouldn’t be afraid to be cursed, since the born again believer knows Jesus Christ; 这个单词, and the Father and knows who (s)he is in Christ and lives by that faith in Him, and every fiery dart is quenched (另请阅读: '你到底是谁?, ‘The shield of faith', 和 ‘The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church’)
但那些, who are unspiritual and walk after the flesh and are world-like don’t know the Word and therefore they don’t know who they are in Christ, but their faith is built upon the words and experiences of people and they are led by these words and experiences. Therefore they shall be afraid for the powers of darkness and consider the words, 力量, and works of the devil as mightier and more powerful than the words, 力量, and works of God.
God is the Almighty One and the Most High
Forasmuch as there is none like unto Thee, 我的天; Thou art great, and Thy Name is great in might. Who would not fear Thee, O King of nations? For to Thee doth it appartain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto Thee (耶利米 10:6-7)
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, 没有其他的了; I am God, and there is none like Me (以赛亚 46:9)
Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, 我的天; neither are there any works like unto Thy works (诗篇 86:8)
事实是, that God is the Highest. There is no greater power and authority and there is no one in this whole universe, who is greater than God.
The power and the might of God is so much stronger than the power and the might of the devil, who is created by God.
The Bible testifies about God’s greatness and His power and that nothing exceeds the power and the might of God. And those, who know the Word and trust the Word and abide in the Word, know this and are not misled nor influenced by all kinds of false doctrines (另请阅读: ‘神秘的教会', ‘教会的新时代', 和 ‘魔鬼的教义正在杀死教会')
If you are born again in Jesus Christ, you are blessed and can’t be cursed.
The sons of God are preserved in Christ
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ (2 帖撒罗尼迦人 3:2-5)
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to Whom be glory for ever and ever (2 蒂莫西 4:18)
在旧约中, we read that as long as God’s people feared God and walked in His will, the people were blessed and untouchable and no one could touch the people.
All the works, which Jesus Christ did on earth in the Old Covenant, Jesus did in the Name of His Father; the authority of His Father, 和圣灵的能力. And His authority and power were always stronger than the authority and power of the devil and all the enemies of God. Even death couldn’t hold Jesus, but God’s power exceeded the power of death, whereby Jesus Christ rose from the dead as Victor over death and hell and took the keys of hell (hades) 和死亡 (希伯来书 2:14, 启示 1:18).
If in the Old Covenant Gods people were protected by God and therefore were untouchable for curses, and Jesus Christ; 神的儿子, who exposed and destroyed the works of darkness, was protected by God and untouchable, and the disciples, who had been given power over all the power of the enemy and nothing would hurt them, then would those, who nowadays are born again in Christ and have become sons of God and belong to God, be suddenly not protected anymore and can be cursed?
