我都希望可以出得到文，到時可以交流下。特別如果你有看小說，我便很懷望那一班庫爾德人的所謂傳說.......
Even more alarming discovery
仲有更驚人的發現︰
國度復興報2004年11月28日頭條，標題︰「華人首到挪亞方舟」。以下引述︰
「由影音使團創辦人袁文輝，聖地專家李志光牧師和庫爾族人組成的香港探險隊，花了兩年時間，在取得當地庫爾德領袖的信任及土耳其軍方的特許下，在亞拉臘山軍事禁區進行四次搜索，並於今年十月中在土耳其亞拉臘山(Ararat，創8:4)南面四千二百米的冰山上發現了挪亞方舟的遺骸。他們除了拍攝到挪亞方舟遺骸的外貌的一角外，也發現了方舟的木質結構、水母、貝類及鹽塊化石……
假如今次的發現證實是挪亞方舟，勢必影響世人對生命起源的看法，徹底扭轉進化論及人類考古學的論論，為基督教信仰找到更確實的佐證。……
為了進一步證實挪亞方舟遺骸的真實性，他們正開公招募考古學家、地質學家和科學家，預計最快明年五月至七月再度前往探索和考證。」
引述完畢。

大家找份來看看。
It is never easy
As I am reading the minor prophets recently, I found that the present situation is very similar. People saw the wickedness but kept silent, prophets preached against the wickedness but people refused to listen.
The "supporting" comments from the pastors and church leaders are not supporting the "discovery" of the Ark but the outreaching ministry. How could and how dare for the pastors and the church leaders to say anything against outreaching? Media is very skillful in quoting other's comment to support their ministry as in the past. For a normal average Christian, he or she will just 照單全收 and won't be able to discern or distinguish what the pastors and church leaders are actually saying.
As Media has begun their promotion in Canada for the showing of the movie in May, they didn't mention anything about the discovery of the Ark in their promotion so far. How could the pastors and church leaders in Canada know what they have said before and what they have wrote and the false claims that they have made in the past? How could the pastors and church leaders have the time to do the research?
I wish 銀's article will be out soon enough at least to raise the alertness of the churches.
When a lot of Christian leaders are speaking up against homosexuality, aren't we also responsible to speak up against falsehood and deceitfulness?
To Cindy : Very dangerous
I read your article and found that ME used this sentence : "歷史性發現方舟遺骸". I think that the silence of the churches leaders and also the teachers in the theology school may mark the downfall of Christianity in Hong Kong. How can they be silent on this issue ? And where are those leaders when something wrong happen among the brothers and sisters in Christ ? Do those leaders think that "Keeping silence is an act of love and acceptance ?" I can say, accepting this false teaching is the same as what ME does ! I agreed with William that if the Ark project and issue created bad, or even destructive influences to the Christians and non-believers, all silent leaders and professors in theology schools should be responsible for this disastrous effect ! Are these leaders just sit in the ivory tower (i.e. their churches, schools, classrooms) and do nothing to help others in Christ ? I admire what Rev. Wu did, as he, at least raised out something to warn us. How about other churches ? How about 中神 ? 浸神 ? 建道 ?
Sorry, I am very furious when thinking this aspect.
致銀狐︰同意你一半
同意你一半。
不同意的是你對「錫安教會」的看法。
同意的是你其餘的見解。
那位梁博士，近年急走下坡，走進那些與他專業無關的題目裏，如方舟，而自己把不足之處揚了出來，可惜。
回以利達
真希望以獨立思考一舉成名的李天命博士會回應啊。
我想問題不是多少牧者支持，而是支持的教牧都甚有名氣，而其他有名氣的神職人員又沉默是金，那是不是代表默認了?
去年錫安教會就余創豪博士有關「發言者的誠信」問題亦有所回應，雖然是遲了一點，但畢竟都是一種負責任的表現(雖然個回應，在我的印象中只是一般)，今天的著名講員會做得比錫安教會好嗎?
平常心而論: 勿做出頭鳥
雖說全港教牧有2000多位，而在挪亞方舟網站上雖只有十幾廿位教內牧者/名人/屬靈長者等出言力撐，而以獨立思考出名的梁博士也廣開對話之門，在有線15台處理各位提問。
上影至今兩周，票房過350萬，亦有出書出各種紀念品，可說一切唱好。【上千位的教牧究竟有冇留意到時代論壇就此的討論？如有，為什麼只見主要是平信徒的弟兄姊妹回應？ 教牧作為先知，我極之希望你們有神交你們的膽量出來對話。】(無論是贊成還是反對)
牧者的責任
坦白說，我不敢對這班牧者寄予厚望。另一方面，更得罪多人都是了，其實很多基督徒本身都不會追究這些問題，若大家都打算把之不了了之的話，那明年咪又來多套law。
筆者早前寫了一篇長文，評論這套電影及其小說，希望會有機會給大家看到。筆者不敢斷言自己所說的一定是對，希望如果出到文，大家可以不妨討論一下。
Silent approval
It is not good for pastors and Christian leaders to keep quiet on this issue of Noah's Ark. So far, I haven't heard nor saw too many pastors and Christian leaders speaking up on this.
When churches' pastors promote the movie and without pointing out the problem and lie behind the movie, that is like a silent approval of what Media is doing in this case. That is very powerful and damaging.
If we ask why Media is who they are today and doing things in the way they are doing even though they knew that it is not right, I think the answer is simple, the silent ones are the ones who made them so.
In my son's school, the principal once told students that if any student witnessing some other students did anything wrong in the school or toward other students but kept quiet about it, he or she is actually part of the misdeed and is responsible for the act. Isn't this common sense?
For all silent pastors, don't blame Media now or in the future if you kept silent about it. You are all responsible for who they are.
請各位教牧分享意見
2004年11月20日影音使團發出一封信給牧者，說他們︰
「歷史性發現方舟遺骸——誠邀全港教牧同工參與尋找方舟教牧分享會」。信上說︰「較早前，由前國廣播公司製作的節目挪亞方舟……完全否定了方舟的存在，並質疑聖經記載的真實性，立論令人震驚。不過影音使團將要對有關的節目作出了有力的反駁，因為我們的攝製隊終於在今年10月在土耳其阿拉臘山，首次發現方舟的遺骸。」
各位看過電影的教牧同工，可否出來談談，是有拍攝到方舟的遺骸，並且對BCC的節目是否作了有力的反駁？
文章更正
可能真是太無眼睇，所以前文錯漏百出，請容更正
1)石琪君是一名影評界的男性老前輩，不是小姐。
2)所附的超連結，要click入「宗教、哲學、科學」，題文名叫「浪費金錢」
銀狐君：石琪 是老前輩哦
石琪是電影評論的老前輩，他的影評有一定參考價值。電影到了第二周，票房也差不多250萬了，電影兩首歌更以本教詩歌打入流行榜呢！
明報影評 : 挪亞方舟 只拍洞口
一位石小姐，在明報寫了影評，她奇怪何故只拍一個洞口的電影都可以叫座，聞說現已近三百萬的票房，石小姐問得這個問題，我好相信她不是基督徒了。否則好應該知道包場便是致勝關鍵。
我早便提過了，現在真是無眼睇，唉
