司提反（Stephen）是基督教历史上首位殉道者，记载于《新约·使徒行传》第六、七章。他是一位充满信仰与智慧的执事，因公开宣讲耶稣是弥赛亚而触怒宗教领袖。在公元34年左右，他被控亵渎神庙和律法，在耶路撒冷接受审判。面对虚假指控，司提反发表了慷慨陈词，回顾以色列历史，并勇敢指责听众的顽固与罪行。愤怒的人群将他拖出城外，用石头砸死。在此过程中，司提反祈求上帝宽恕他的迫害者，甚至在临死前见到天堂的异象，说：“看哪，我看见天开了，人子站在神的右边。”
司提反的殉道，不仅标志着早期教会迫害的开始，也成为信仰与真理见证的象征。教会作为神的器皿，本应承载信仰与团契（Trust），却在不同历史时期因误解教义、滥用权力或背离圣约（Holy Bible）教导，而沦为压迫异己者的主体（Subject）。司提反的鲜血，却点燃了使徒们的传教热情，尤其改变了扫罗（后来的保罗）。他以死展现了信仰的勇气与愛敌的德行，奠定了殉道传统的精神根基，激励后世在压迫中坚守真理。
查理·柯克的殉道，不仅会激发美国保守主义的回归，更象征着一个新的精神运动——交互主体共生精神的时代召唤。
我们生活在一个高举DEI（Diversity 多元性、Equity 公平性、Inclusion 包容性）的时代，但由于意识形态的偏蔽、混杂与狂热，DEI本身并不能保障“Live and let live”。相反，当多元、公平、包容被抽空为口号，甚至成为某些群体以“主体”自居、视异己为“客体”加以支配操纵的工具时，它就可能引发新的分裂与冲突，印证了那句警言：“多少罪恶假汝之名以行！”
因此，我们必须用交互主体共生（Intersubjective Symbiosism）的智慧来规范和引领DEI，以真正展现人与神最极致、最真实的盟约之愛。这正是“愛之智慧”（Amorsophia）所揭示的：它赋予每一个生命的自组织与连接平衡的驱动力，让人类在互动中走向臻美共生。
司提反，是两千年前的第一位殉道者。他因勇敢见证信仰与真理，在耶路撒冷被石头砸死，却以鲜血开启了信仰与自由的新篇章。今天，当我们缅怀查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）时，不能不想到这段历史。
柯克之死，并不仅仅是个人生命的终结。他代表着一种精神姿态：在混乱与分裂的时代，仍然敢于公开坚守信仰、家庭与自由。他相信言论自由，他坚持与不同声音辩论，他以身作则，活出了“真理必使你们得以自由”的信念。正因如此，他的骤然离世，被许多人视为殉道。
“当代司提反”的意义，在于提醒我们：
信仰的勇气：不畏惧攻击与嘲讽，勇敢见证信仰与真理。
自由的代价：自由不是廉价口号，而是需要有人以血作担保。
精神的召唤：在DEI口号空洞化甚至异化的今天，唯有交互主体共生的价值，才能真正实现“Live and let live”的普世之愛。
然而，殉道并不是终点，而是新的起点。司提反的鲜血成为教会重生的种子；同样，查理·柯克的殉道，将化为当代交互主体共生精神的种子。他如一粒落在地里的麦子，虽死，却结出无数生命的果实，激励无数人坚守信仰与自由。
真正能使这颗种子成长发芽，是交互主体共生的智慧——愛之智慧（Amorsophia）。它呼唤我们在人与人、人与社会、人与上帝的互动中，践行“金银铜铁通五律”：
金律（Golden Rule）：待人如己，推己及人（Do to others as you would have them do to you）。
银律（Silver Rule）：己所不欲，勿施于人（Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire）。
铜律（Bronze Rule）：己之所欲，乐施于人（To give joy to others as one desires for oneself）。
铁律（Iron Rule）：以眼还眼，以牙还牙（An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth），约束权力滥用，维护自由公义。
通律（General Rule）：自己活，也要别人活；不要自己邪恶，也让别人邪恶（Live and let live; don’t be evil and let evil be）。
查理·柯克坚信，透过论辩与真诚对话，能引领人们走向相互理解。即便无法达成共识，至少也能彼此看见、彼此尊重。他始终把他人视为“在上帝面前人人平等”的属灵生命主体（Subject），超越了那种自我轴心的极端自由主义与政治正确——以主体自居，却把不同族裔、性别、立场的人当作客体（Object）加以操纵和欺诈。
他曾说过：“我希望被记住的是为我的信仰所怀的勇气。” 如今，这句话已成火种，点燃在无数年轻人心中。在“美国转折点”的器皿与明镜中，世人将看见：即使在虚伪、破碎、取消文化与冷漠横行的时代，仍有人敢以生命为代价，捍卫真理、自由与信任。
正如第一个殉道者司提反一样，查理的血，不是生命枯萎的终点，而是烈士的种子，必将在仇恨与撕裂的土地上，生根发芽，结出愛与真理的果实——象征着MAGA-MAHA（Make America Great Again – Make America Healthy Again）运动，触动美国，感动全球——既是每个有生命的个人勇气的见证，也是群体复兴的起点。
司提反的鲜血成为教会复兴的种子；柯克的殉道，则成为当代生命交互主体共生精神的种子。在DEI口号空洞化、极端自由主义泛滥的背景下，他的牺牲被赋予了新的使命：以“愛之智慧”（Amorsophia）为根基，践行“Live and let live”，推动人类在发生学（Genetics）、动力学（Dynamics）、恊和学（Synergy）全程实现生命自组织连接的平衡与再平衡。
唯有如此，我们才能在混乱与偏执中守住真理，重获自由，践行盟约之愛，化解冲突，重建世界秩序，走向 全球共生。
Charlie Kirk: A Contemporary Stephen
Archer Hong Qian
September 16, 2025, Prince Edward Island – Maine
Stephen was the first martyr in Christian history, recorded in Acts 6 and 7 of the New Testament. He was a deacon filled with faith and wisdom, who angered the religious leaders by openly proclaiming that Jesus was the Messiah. Around A.D. 34, he was accused of blaspheming the temple and the law, and brought to trial in Jerusalem. Confronted with false charges, Stephen delivered a powerful speech, reviewing the history of Israel and courageously exposing the stubbornness and sins of his accusers. Enraged, the crowd dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death. In the midst of this, Stephen prayed for God to forgive his persecutors, and before dying he saw a vision of heaven: “Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Stephen’s martyrdom not only marked the beginning of the early church’s persecution, but also became a symbol of testimony to faith and truth. The Church, as God’s vessel, was meant to carry faith and fellowship (Trust), yet in different historical periods it often fell into misunderstanding of doctrine, abuse of power, or deviation from the teachings of the Holy Bible, becoming instead an oppressive Subject against dissenters. Stephen’s blood, however, ignited the zeal of the apostles to preach the gospel, profoundly influencing Saul (later Paul), who transformed from persecutor to great apostle. By his death, Stephen demonstrated the courage of faith and the virtue of loving one’s enemies, laying the spiritual foundation of the Christian martyr tradition, and inspiring later generations to hold fast to truth under oppression.
Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom will not only inspire the revival of American conservatism, but also symbolizes the call of a new spiritual movement—an era summoned by the spirit of Intersubjective Symbiosism.
We live in an age that exalts DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion). Yet, because of ideological bias, confusion, and fanaticism, DEI itself cannot guarantee “Live and let live.” On the contrary, when diversity, equity, and inclusion are hollowed into slogans, or even turned into tools for certain groups to claim themselves as Subjects while treating others as mere Objects to be manipulated and dominated, they can foster division and conflict—echoing the warning: “How much evil is committed in thy name!”
Therefore, we must employ the wisdom of Intersubjective Symbiosism to discipline and guide DEI, so that it may truly reflect the covenantal love between God and humanity in its highest and truest form. This is precisely what Amorsophia—the Wisdom of Love—reveals: it endows each life with the power of self-organization and connective balance, enabling humankind, through interaction, to move toward consummate symbiosis.
Stephen, two thousand years ago, was the first martyr. By courageously witnessing to faith and truth, he was stoned in Jerusalem, yet his blood opened a new chapter of faith and freedom. Today, as we commemorate Charlie Kirk, we cannot help but recall that history.
Kirk’s death was not merely the end of a personal life. He embodied a spiritual stance: in a time of chaos and division, he dared to publicly stand for faith, family, and freedom. He believed in free speech, he insisted on debating with opposing voices, and he lived out the conviction that “the truth shall set you free.” For this reason, his sudden passing has been regarded by many as martyrdom.
The meaning of a “Contemporary Stephen” is to remind us:
The Courage of Faith: to withstand mockery and attack, and boldly testify to faith and truth.
The Cost of Freedom: freedom is not a cheap slogan; it requires blood as its guarantor.
The Spiritual Call: in a time when DEI slogans grow hollow or distorted, only the values of Intersubjective Symbiosism can truly achieve the universal love of “Live and let live.”
Yet martyrdom is not the end, but a new beginning. Stephen’s blood became the seed of the Church’s rebirth; likewise, Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom will become the seed of contemporary Intersubjective Symbiosism. Like a grain of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, he will yield countless fruits, inspiring multitudes to hold fast to faith and freedom.
What enables this seed to grow and flourish is the wisdom of Intersubjective Symbiosism—Amorsophia. It calls us, in the interactions between person and person, person and society, and person and God, to live by the Five Universal Rules—Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron, and General:
Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you.（待人如己，推己及人）
Silver Rule: Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.（己所不欲，勿施于人）
Bronze Rule: To give joy to others as one desires for oneself.（己之所欲，亦施于人）
Iron Rule: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—but with restraint, never abuse.（以眼还眼，以牙还牙）
General Rule: Live and let live; do not be evil and let evil be.（自己活，也要别人活；不要自己邪恶，也让别人邪恶）
Charlie Kirk firmly believed that through debate and sincere dialogue, people could be led toward truth and mutual understanding. Even if consensus could not be reached, at least mutual recognition and respect could be achieved. He always treated others as spiritual life-subjects equal before God, transcending the egocentric extremes of liberalism and political correctness that elevate the self as Subject while reducing those of different ethnicity, gender, or political stance to manipulable Objects.
He once said: “I hope to be remembered for the courage I held for my faith.” Today, those words have become a fire, igniting the hearts of countless young people. Through the vessel and mirror of Turning Point USA, the world shall see: even in an era rife with hypocrisy, fragmentation, cancel culture, and cold indifference, there are still those who dare to defend truth, freedom, and trust at the cost of their lives.
Just as the first martyr Stephen, Charlie’s blood is not the withering end of life, but the seed of a martyr. This seed will take root in the soil of hatred and division, sprouting to bear the fruit of love and truth. It symbolizes the movement of MAGA–MAHA (Make America Great Again – Make America Healthy Again)—stirring America, moving the world. It is both the testimony of individual courage and the beginning of collective renewal.
Stephen’s blood became the seed of the Church’s revival; Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom has become the seed of contemporary life and the spirit of Intersubjective Symbiosism. Amid hollow DEI slogans and rampant extreme liberalism, his sacrifice is given a new mission: rooted in Amorsophia, to embody “Live and let live,” and to guide humanity toward balanced self-organization and rebalancing across the dimensions of Genetics, Dynamics, and Synergy.
Only thus can we, in the midst of chaos and extremism, safeguard truth, regain freedom, live out covenantal love, resolve conflicts, rebuild world order, and move toward global symbiosis.
