64 位教牧領袖聯署呼籲 考慮應否支持影音使團

  • 一件起初為很值得欣賞的事... 事到如今, 的確有點可惜.
  •  牽涉錢銀, 的確需要高透明度及可以受監察...

64 位教牧領袖聯署呼籲

親愛的主內同道:
我們懷著沉重的心情,要跟各位主裡兄姊談一談影音使團這幾年對外高調宣稱發現挪亞方舟一事。
我 們欣賞該使團過去在福音事工上的貢獻,但留意到2004年起,他們事工的重心便漸漸偏移去考古發掘方舟。從2004年起,該使團便不斷以「發現方舟」作噱 頭來舉行佈道會和拍攝電影,但我們憂心在未經確切核實之前便以此為號召,會有扭曲事實和取巧之嫌,對教會的誠信和慕道者造成傷害。事實上,他們已在三處不 同地點聲稱發現過方舟遺骸,卻不肯公開據稱是方舟遺址的地點,以致其他考古學者根本無法核實他們的宣稱。該使團至今未有按考古學的嚴謹治學態度處事。最近 一次發現七個空間的木結構後,即以新聞發佈會方式公佈他們的發現有99.9%可能是方舟,但隨後又改稱90%,甚為兒戲。
2010 年相繼有香港和北美的華人教牧和領袖,甚至基督徒科學家和地質學者,先後質疑該使團的考古聲稱,可惜該使團未有提出令普遍教會群體和公眾信服的證據來回應 考古疑點,只不斷強調批評者未曾到訪過報稱的方舟遺址,或辯稱他們已將證據陳列在電影中,着質疑者先看過電影才作批評。面對教內愈來愈多的批評,該使團最 近在十一月七日出版《號外》,點名指摘教內的質疑者造謠抹黑他們。
影音使團在方舟事工上,每年自各地信徒籌得大量捐款,但考古支出方面,卻未能向普遍教會群體和公眾交待令人滿意的財務報告。姑勿論木結構是否挪亞方舟,影音使團在未經學術界公開核實前便到處張揚,不斷向信徒募捐,並以發現方舟為名舉辦各類活動,手法並不恰當。
我們敦請大家採取審慎的態度,不必急於對木結構作出最終判斷,在影音使團公開所有證據、公開方舟遺址地點讓考古學界進行鑑別、以及尊重理性對話之前,鄭重考慮應否繼續支持該使團方舟相關的活動和籌款,和應否協助在堂會內發放其刊物和宣傳相關消息?
我們既然蒙召為教會守望,建立聖潔的國度,以真理和誠實傳揚福音,這審慎態度就是我們應有的負責任態度。
祝 事主得力!主恩常偕!
