核心畫面

Think of something that has an empty middle: a bun before it is closed, a tooth with a hole in it, an empty pillow cover, a crack in a wall. Someone puts material into that space, and the space stops being empty. The word 'filling' names that material — the stuff on the inside. It never tells you what the material is; it tells you where it is and what job it is doing. When the same idea turns into an adjective, the empty space becomes your stomach: filling food is food that fills you up.

可以想成一個中間是空的東西:還沒包起來的包子、蛀了一個洞的牙齒、還沒塞東西的枕頭套、牆上的一道裂縫。有人把材料放進那更多收起可以想成一個中間是空的東西:還沒包起來的包子、蛀了一個洞的牙齒、還沒塞東西的枕頭套、牆上的一道裂縫。有人把材料放進那個空的地方,空的地方就不空了。「filling」指的就是那份材料——在裡面的那個東西。它從來不告訴你那是什麼做的,它只說那東西在裡面、正在把空的地方補滿。同一個想法變成形容詞的時候,被填滿的就換成你的胃:filling 的食物是把你填飽的食物。

    ChristianityProtestantismA religious experience attributed to the Holy Ghost "filling" a believer.

    • 1903, William Edward Biederwolf, A Help to the Study of the Holy Spirit, James H. Earle & Company (publ.), page 100. As learned Dr. Hodge has reminded us, any impartation of the Holy Spirit is a baptism, and certainly, apart from biblical phraseology, a filling with the Spirit may be called a baptism with the Spirit.
    • All these terms referencing the work of the Holy Spirit—coming upon, falling upon, being filled with the Holy Spirit, receiving the promise of the Father—can best be understood as synonymous with baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the key to understanding being “one baptism, many fillings.”
