在各国的压力下，安倍晋三在日本投降70周年的讲话勉强加入了一些类似反省的话。 中文媒体似乎只关注安倍晋三对日本在亚洲的战争的态度，注意到安倍既没有承认日本侵略，也 没有就日本的战争道歉，而只是说在他之前日本已经道歉 。这是一种只见树木、不见森林的分析，完全忽略了日本右翼政权的大前提，那就是其对日本侵略战争的道义性美化。 安倍晋三的演讲一开场即提到，100年前面对西方殖民主义，“日俄战争是对从亚洲到非洲的殖民地人民的鼓舞” （” The Japan-Russia War gave encouragement to many people under colonial rule from Asia to Africa.“） 。安倍的历史回顾从日俄战争（1904）开始，通过日俄战争把日本定性为挑战西方殖民主义的、亚洲人民的灯塔。完全不提日本在日俄战争之前对琉球（1879)、朝鲜与中国（1894）的侵略战争与屠杀，包括侵占并殖民琉球、朝鲜与台湾，以及后来日本与西方一道侵略中国（1900）。这种历史割裂是欺诈性的，因为如果提到日本之前对亚洲的侵略与殖民，那么所谓日本军国主义带领亚洲人挑战西方的谎言就无法成立。 在提到918事变后日本的对外战争时，安倍着重讲到的是日本军人在”忧虑国家前途与期望家庭幸福”中阵亡（” on the battlefields worrying about the future of their homeland and wishing for the happiness of their families“） ，日本东京等地遭受的轰炸，以及广岛、长崎日本平民遭到原子弹“无情的“轰击。提及中国等国时，安倍晋三轻描淡写：”众多无辜平民成为战斗的牺牲者” （” numerous innocent citizens suffered and fell victim to battles“）。安倍完全忽略了日军在非战斗情况下蓄意屠杀平民、强暴妇女的罪行。 与那些自作多情的解读不同，安倍晋三完全没有承认日军强征慰安妇是的罪恶，而只是说"不能忘记有后方女性的荣誉与尊严受到损伤“ (" We must never forget that there were women behind the battlefields whose honour and dignity were severely injured.") 。 安倍强调，日本人口 80% 出生于战后，日本必须不能让子孙后代生来就得道歉。安倍完全忽略了日本新一代否定日本战争罪行、美化其父辈、祖辈罪行的做法，等同于继承发扬军国主义罪恶。 在演讲最后，安倍把日本的过去总结成”国际秩序的挑战者“（” We will engrave in our hearts the past, when Japan ended up becoming a challenger to the international order.“），等于重申日本发动战争是对西方殖民主义的挑战。对未来的日本，安倍称”将高举积极奉献和平的旗帜，为世界和平与繁荣做出更大的贡献“ （” hoist the flag of “ Proactive Contribution to Peace ,” and contribute to the peace and prosperity of the world more than ever before.“）。 日本新安保法已经授权日军对他国进行抢先打击，日本” 积极奉献和平”的新政策对中国构成的威胁不亚于当年的“大东亚共荣圈”。 安倍演讲日官方英文版： http://japan.kantei.go.jp/97_abe/statement/201508/0814statement.html r of Japan
这是John Piper 的回答，我非常同意。关于婴儿死亡去哪里，圣经没有明确的说法，但是John Piper根据罗马书1章所做的推论，我认为是合理的： http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/ask-pastor-john/what-happens-to-infants-who-die--2 I think they're all saved. In other words, I don't buy the principle that says that children born into "covenant families" are secure, and children born into "non-covenant families" aren't. I don't go there. My reason for thinking they're all saved is because of the principle in Romans 1 where Paul argues that all people know God, and they are "without excuse" because they do not honor him or glorify him as God. His argument is that they are without excuse because they know things, as though accountability in the presence of God at the Last Judgment will be based, at least partly, on whether they had access to necessary knowledge. And God says they've all got access to knowledge, because they can look at the things he has made and see his power and deity. But they suppress that knowledge instead of submitting to it, therefore they're all condemned. So I ask the question: OK, is the principle being raised there that, if you don't have access to the knowledge that causes you to be held accountable, therefore you will not be accountable? And I think that's the case. I think babies and imbeciles—that is, those with profound mental disabilities—don't have access to the knowledge that they will be called to account for. Therefore, somehow in some way, God, through Christ, covers these people. So that, in a nutshell, is why I think all children who die in infancy are elect and will be, through Jesus Christ, saved in ways that I may not know how, as God honors this principle of accountability.
