Chap.20 - The "Messenger" Party
教会证言-卷一-第20章
【见附录】
1855年6月在纽约州奥斯威戈的时候,我蒙指示,见到上帝的子民一直因重重阻碍而心情沉重;一直有亚干在营中。上帝的工作只是略有进展,祂仆人中有许多人一直很灰心,因为真理在纽约州没能有更多的影响,也没有更多的人加入教会。信使会已经兴起,我们会因他们的谎言和曲解而受到一些损害,但是我们应该耐心地忍受;因为他们现在离开我们造成的损害,不会象他们若属于我们而发挥的影响给上帝的圣工带来的损害那么大。{1T 122.1}[1]

【SEE APPENDIX.】
When at Oswego, New York, June, 1855, I was shown that God's people have been weighed down with clogs; that there have been Achans in the camp. The work of God has progressed but little, and many of His servants have been discouraged because the truth has taken no more effect in New York, and there have been no more added to the church. The Messenger party has arisen, and we shall suffer some from their lying tongues and misrepresentations, yet we should bear it all patiently; for they will not injure the cause of God, now they have left us, as much as they would have injured it by their influence had they remained with us.{1T 122.1}[1]
教会证言-卷一-第20章
上帝因教会中有人心地败坏而不悦。他们想要居于首位,但上帝和弟兄们没有把他们放在这个位置。他们的行为表现出自私和骄傲。现在为所有这样的人开放了一个地方,凡与他们同类的人都可以去得到供给。我们应该赞美上帝,因为祂本着怜悯使教会摆脱了他们。上帝已任由许多这样的人偏行己路,自行其是。现在引导他们的,是一种兴奋和同情心;这会欺骗一些人。但每一个正直的人都会蒙光照得知这班人的真相,而与上帝特殊的子民站在一起,持定真理,行谦卑的道路,不受那些已放弃上帝而偏行己路,自行其是的人所影响。我看到上帝已赐给这些人悔改的机会,祂已开导他们,使他们看到他们专爱自己的罪和其它的罪;但他们不愿听从。他们既不肯悔改,祂就仁慈地使教会与他们分离。若是上帝的仆人和教会献身给祂和祂的圣工,真理就必奏效。{1T 122.2}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第20章
God's frown has been brought upon the church on account of individuals with corrupt hearts being in it. They have wanted to be foremost, when neither God nor their brethren placed them there. Selfishness and exaltation have marked their course. A place is now open for all such where they can go and find pasture with those of their kind. And we should praise God that in mercy He has rid the church of them. God has given many of these persons up to their own ways to be filled with their own doings. An excitement and sympathy now leads them, which will deceive some; but every honest one will be enlightened as to the true state of this company, and will remain with God's peculiar people, hold fast the truth, and follow in the humble path, unaffected by the influence of those who have been given up of God to their own ways, to be filled with their own doings. I saw that God had given these persons opportunity to reform, He had enlightened them as to their love for self and their other sins; but they would not heed it. They would not be reformed, and He mercifully relieved the church of them. The truth will take effect if the servants of God and the church will devote themselves to Him and His cause. {1T 122.2}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第20章
我看到必须唤醒上帝的子民穿上军装。基督就要来了。最后怜悯信息的大工对我们来说太重要了,决不可丢下它而下去回答信使会所信奉和散布的谎言,曲解和诽谤。我们必须仔细研究现代真理。我们正在做一项大工,不能下去。撒但在操纵着这一切,要使我们的心转离现代真理和基督的降临。天使说:“耶稣知道这一切。”不久以后他们的日子就要到了。所有的人都要按照自己的行为受审判。说谎的舌必要止息。锡安的罪人必要恐惧。假冒为善的人必要战兢。{1T 123.1}[3]
教会证言-卷一-第20章
I saw that the people of God must arouse and put on the armor. Christ is coming, and the great work of the last message of mercy is of too much importance for us to leave it and come down to answer such falsehoods, misrepresentations, and slanders as the Messenger party have fed upon and have scattered abroad. Truth, present truth, we must dwell upon it. We are doing a great work, and cannot come down. Satan is in all this, to divert our minds from the present truth and the coming of Christ. Said the angel: "Jesus knows it all." In a little from this their day is coming. All will be judged according to the deeds done in the body. The lying tongue will be stopped. The sinners in Zion will be afraid, and fearfulness will surprise the hypocrites. {1T 123.1}[3]
