二者都讲“神化/theosis”,也都用到“人成为神”
## 一、共同基点:都讲“参与神生命,而非成第四位格”
– 东方正教:强调人“与神联合、得着不朽、参与神的生命”,
– 李常受:概括为“神成为人,为要使人在生命和性情上成为神,
– 两者都刻意守住造物主—受造物的区分:
– 正教用“本质/能量(essence/energies)”
– 李用“生命与性情/神格(life & nature / Godhead)”区分:可参与的是神可分赐的生命与性情,
## 二、差异一:本体论工具——“本质/能量” vs. “生命与性情/神格”
– 东方正教:
– 神学上依托巴西流—格里高利—帕拉玛斯传统,明确区分神的“
– Theosis=参与神的不受造能量,在此过程中“成为神”,
– 李常受:
– 不用“本质/能量”术语,而用“生命与性情/神格”来划线:
– 成为神=在生命与性情上被构成,与神同类;
– 绝不在神格上,与三一神同等。[4][1][7]
– 有学者指出,可以把“生命与性情/神格”视为一种平行于“能量/
## 三、差异二:修炼路径——修行与奥秘观 vs. 经纶与“喫神”话语
– 东方正教:
– 神化路径与礼仪、禁欲、耶稣祷文、圣餐生活密切相连,
– 强调“参与”“交通”,而不强调“神人调和/构成”的有机语言。
– 李常受:
– 用“神经纶—分赐—调和—构成”的语言:三一神经过过程,
– 路径是明显“经纶+有机”的:重“神的行动分赐进来”,
## 四、差异三:教会形态与神化的落点
– 东方正教:
– 神化是教会礼仪与修行生活的最高目标,但在教会论上通常没有用“
– 教会被看作“圣灵在圣礼中作工、带人进入与神共融”的场域。
– 李常受:
– 把神化直接连到“身体实际”和“四合一实体”(父、子、
– 三一神与新人类在生命性情上相互调和,形成“团体神人”;
– 教会作为“神人团体”的本体论图像,与地方教会实行(地方召会+
– 因此,神化不仅是个人目标,更是“神经纶高峰”
