孔子60而耳顺,佛家有耳根圆通法门,圣经的圣字,在甲骨文中其意义就是声音,最初没有“声”字,“聖”即是“声”,甲骨文中的圣人,就是指头上有个大耳的人,能够与宇宙相通。
《圣经》中对福音的解释,“In the beginning was the “word”(福音sound),and the “word” was with God, and word was God, everything was made by this , and nothing was nor made by this.”意思是“宇宙开始就有这个声音(福音),这声音跟上帝在一起,这个声音就是上帝,万物都是从这个声音中产生的,没有东西不是从它产生出来的” 。
