《正信的基督教》 第63节

(周玉阳译,2026年8月)

五、上帝在神性秩序中全在于始末万有

63# 上帝于祂神性秩序之中,自初始至极末之物全然全在

上帝自神性秩序的初始直至末后万物全然全在,这全在依托灵性世界太阳所流出的热与光成就,上帝居于这灵性世界太阳的中心。秩序藉此太阳被造立,热与光由太阳向外发散,贯穿整个宇宙,遍及一切初始之物直至末后之物;二者生出生命,即是人与一切动物内里的生命,亦生出植物性生机,也就是地上一切嫩芽之内的生命本源。

热与光流入万有及其每一处细微分殊,使一切存有皆依受造之初植入其内的神性秩序存活、生长。

上帝并无空间延展之形体,却充盈宇宙间一切具有延展的存有,由此祂全然全在。上帝居于一切空间之内,却不受空间局限;存于一切时间之中,却不受时间束缚。故此,论本体与秩序而言,整个宇宙皆为上帝的充盈,前文已有阐释。

明乎此,则上帝藉全然全在觉知万有,藉全然全知预备万事,藉神性全能推行一切作为。

由此显明:全然全在、全然全知与神性全能浑然一体;换言之,一者必然涵摄另一者,三者不可分割。

《真实的基督教》 第63节

(一滴水译,2026年修订)

63# (5)神从其秩序的初到其秩序的末,都是全在的,或说神在祂的秩序上从初至末都是全在的。神通过祂在中间的属灵太阳的热和光而从祂秩序的初到祂秩序的末都是全在的。正是通过这属灵的太阳,秩序才得以产生或创造。神从这太阳发出热和光,这热和光从初至末遍及整个宇宙,并产生在人类和一切动物里面的生命,也产生在地上的一切植物里面的植物灵魂。这两者流入一切事物,无论总体还是细节,使每个主体都照着在创造时植入它的秩序而存活和生长。由于神没有延伸,却充满宇宙的一切穹苍,或说充满宇宙中延伸的一切事物,所以祂是全在的。我在别的地方已经说明,神以非空间的方式存在于一切空间中,或说神存在于一切空间中,却无关空间,神以非时间的方式存在于一切时间中,或说神存在于一切时间中,却无关时间;因此,宇宙在其本质和秩序上就是神的完满或丰满。正因如此,祂才通过祂的全在感知一切,通过祂的全知提供一切,通过祂的全能管理或执行一切。由此清楚可知,全在,全知和全能构成一体,或一个预示着另一个;因此,它们不能分离。

True Christianity #63 (Rose, 2010)

63. 5. God is omnipresent in his design from beginning to end. God's omnipresence in his design from beginning to end is a function of the heat and light from the sun that surrounds God in the spiritual world. The divine design was created through this sun. From it God sends forth a heat and a light that pervade the universe from beginning to end. That heat and that light give life to humankind and to every animal. They also produce the plant soul that every plant in the world possesses. The two flow into every single thing and cause it to live and grow according to the design assigned to it upon creation.

Because God is not extended and yet fills all things throughout the universe that are extended, he is omnipresent. I have shown elsewhere that God is in all space independently of space, and in all time independently of time [30], and therefore the universe in its essence and design is the fullness of God. Therefore he senses all things through his omnipresence, he provides all things through his omniscience, and he produces all things through his omnipotence. Clearly then, omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence are one; each presupposes the next. Therefore they cannot be separated.

True Christian Religion #63 (Chadwick, 1988)

63. (v) GOD IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE FROM FIRST TO LAST IN HIS ORDER.

It is the heat and light of the sun of the spiritual world, in the midst of which God is, which makes Him present everywhere from first to last in His order. By means of this sun order came into existence, and from it He sends forth heat and light, which penetrate the universe from first to last and produce the life possessed by every human being and animal, and also the vegetative soul which every plant on earth has. Its heat and light act upon every single thing and cause each to live and grow in accordance with the order imposed on them from creation. Since God has no extent, yet fills all the space in the universe, He is omnipresent. It has been shown elsewhere [30] that God is non-spatially in all space and non-temporally in all time, as a result of which the universe is in respect of its essence and its order the fulness of God. This being so, God by His omnipresence perceives everything, by His omniscience provides everything, and by His omnipotence performs everything. This makes it plain that omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence make one, in other words, one supposes the other and thus they cannot be divided.

True Christian Religion #63 (Ager, 1970)

63. (5) God is omnipresent from the firsts to the lasts of His order. God is omnipresent from the firsts to the lasts of His order by means of the heat and light of the spiritual sun, in the midst of which He is. It was by means of that sun that order was produced; and from it He sends forth a heat and a light which pervade the universe from firsts to lasts, and produce the life that is in man and in every animal, and also the vegetative soul that is in every germ upon the earth; and these two flow into each thing and all things, and cause every subject to live and grow according to the order implanted in it by creation. And as God, though not extended, fills every extense in the universe, He is omnipresent. It has been shown elsewhere that God is in all space without space, and in all time without time, and consequently that the universe in its essence and order is the plenitude of God; and this being so, by His omnipresence He perceives all things, by His omniscience He provides all things, and by His omnipotence He effects all things. From this it is clear that omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence make one, or that one implies the others; and thus that they cannot be separated.

True Christian Religion #63 (Dick, 1950)

63. (5) GOD IS OMNIPRESENT FROM FIRST THINGS TO LAST OF HIS ORDER.

God is omnipresent from first things to last of His order by means of the heat and light from the Sun of the spiritual world, in the midst of which He is. By means of this Sun order was created, and from it He sends out the heat and light which pervade the universe from first things to last, producing life in men and in all animals, and also the vegetable life in every germinating thing on the earth. Heat and light enter by influx into all things in general and in particular, causing every subject to live and grow according to the order impressed upon it at Creation; and because God is not extended, and yet fills all things in the universe that are extended, He is omnipresent. It has been shown elsewhere that God is in all space yet without space, and in all time without time, and consequently that the universe as to its essence and order is the fullness of God; and because this is so, by His omnipresence He perceives all things, by His omniscience He provides for all things, and by His omnipotence He administers all things. Hence it is evident that omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence make one, or that each implies the other, and thus that they cannot be separated.

Vera Christiana Religio #63 (original Latin,1770)

63. V. QUOD DEUS OMNIPRAESENS SIT A PRIMIS AD ULTIMA SUI ORDINIS. Quod Deus omnipraesens sit a primis ad ultima sui Ordinis, est per Calorem et Lucem e Sole Mundi Spiritualis, in cujus medio est, per hunc Solem factus est Ordo, et ex illo emittit calorem et lucem, quae pervadunt 1 Universum a primis ad ultima ejus, ac producunt vitam, quae est homini, et cuivis animali, et quoque animam vegetativam, quae est cuivis germini super Tellure, et illa duo influunt in omnia et singula, et faciunt ut unumquodvis subjectum vivat et crescat secundum Ordinem illis a creatione inditum; et quia Deus non est extensus, et usque implet omnia extensa Universi, omnipraesens est; quod Deus in omni spatio sit absque spatio, et in omni tempore absque tempore, et quod inde Universum quoad essentiam et ordinem sit plenitudo Dei, alibi ostensum est, et quia ita est, per omnipraesentiam percipit omnia, per Omniscientiam providet omnia, et per Omnipotentiam operatur omnia; unde patet, quod Omnipraesentia, Omniscientia et Omnipotentia unum faciant, seu quod una ponat alteram, et sic quod separari nequeant.
