基督教育原理-第44章
比起与天上的上帝交流，有些人更重视与饱学的人结交。有学问之人的言论竟被认为比上帝的道中显示的最高智慧更有价值。然而尽管背信骄傲地昂首，上天却鄙视人类推论的浮夸虚无；因为人凭自己和人本身都是虚空的。人的一切功劳、一切道德尊严都在耶稣基督的功劳里，藉着祂的功劳而得的。因而，世上最伟大人物最伟大头脑的臆测又算得了什么呢？可是人们却将这些人的推理放在上帝明显的旨意之上，向世人提出他们的主张比永恒之主的智慧更高。他们在自己虚空的想象中，竟贬低天国的体系以迎合他们自己的爱好和愿望。{FE 331.1}[1]
基督教育原理-第44章
Association with learned men is esteemed by some more highly that communion with the God of heaven. The statements of learned men are thought of more value than the highest wisdom revealed in the word of God. But while infidelity is proudly lifting up its head, Heaven looks down upon the vanity and nothingness of human reasoning; for man in and of himself is vanity. All the merit, all the moral dignity, of men has been theirs simply in and through the merits of Jesus Christ. What, then, are the speculations of the greatest minds of the greatest men that have ever lived? Yet men place their human reasonings before the revealed will of God, and present to the world that which they claim is higher wisdom than the wisdom of the Eternal. In their vain imaginations, they would bring down the economy of heaven to suit their own inclinations and desires. {FE 331.1}[1]
基督教育原理-第44章
伟大的上帝有管理祂国度的律法，那些践踏祂律法的人必有一天会发现自己有义务顺从它的条例。在宣布废除律法上是找不到犯罪的救药的。废除律法就是羞辱律法，也是藐视立法者。犯法之人在主耶稣基督里才能找到唯一的逃生之路；因为罪人藉着上帝独生子的恩典和赎罪可以得救，律法也得到维护。那些在人前夸耀，好像伟人的出色样本，同时却践踏上帝明显旨意的人，给人披上尊荣并且谈论本性的完美。他们描绘了一幅美好的图画，却是一个幻想，一个讨人喜欢的欺骗；因为他们行在自己所点的火把中。{FE 331.2}[2]
基督教育原理-第44章
The great God has a law by which to govern His kingdom, and those who trample upon that law will one day find that they are amenable to its statutes. The remedy for transgression is not to be found in declaring that the law is abolished. To abolish the law would be to dishonor it, and to cast contempt upon the Lawgiver. The only escape for the transgressor of law is found in the Lord Jesus Christ; for through the grace and atonement of the only-begotten Son of God, the sinner may be saved and the law vindicated. The men who parade before the world as wonderful specimens of greatness, and at the same time trample down the revealed will of God, robe man with honor and talk of the perfection of nature. They paint a very fine picture, but it is an illusion, a flattering deception; for they walk in the sparks of their own kindling. {FE 331.2}[2]
基督教育原理-第44章
那些提出与圣经道理相反学说的人，是受被上帝赶出天庭的大叛徒引导的。论到他的堕落，经上记着说：“你无所不备，智慧充足，全然美丽。你曾在伊甸上帝的园中，佩戴各样宝石，……你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯；我将你安置在上帝的圣山上；你在发光如火的宝石中间往来。你从受造之日所行的都完全，后来在你中间又察出不义。……你因美丽心中高傲，又因荣光败坏智慧，我已将你摔倒在地，使你倒在君王面前，好叫他们目睹眼见。……我使你在所有观看的人眼前变为地上的炉灰。各国民中，凡认识你的，都必为你惊奇。你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，直到永远”（结28:12-19）。{FE 331.3}[3]
基督教育原理-第44章
Those who present a doctrine contrary to that of the Bible, are led by the great apostate who was cast out of the courts of God. Of him before his fall, it was written, "Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering. . . . Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. . . . Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. . . . I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." {FE 331.3}[3]

这些地上所谓的伟人既有这样一位领袖——一位被天庭驱逐的天使——便能虚构出迷人的理论，用来冲昏人的头脑。保罗对加拉太人说：“谁又迷惑了你们，叫你们不顺从真理呢”（加3:1；5:7）？撒但有杰出的心智，他有所拣选的代表用来高举人，给人披上尊荣超过上帝。但上帝是以能力为衣的；祂能接纳那些死在罪恶过犯中的人，并藉那使耶稣从死里复活之圣灵的运行，改变人的品格，使人恢复上帝的形像。那些相信耶稣基督的人得以改变，从反抗上帝的律法变成祂顺从的仆人和国民。他们得以重生、更新，因真理而成圣。怀疑的人不愿承认上帝的能力，并且拒绝一切的证据，除非所有的证据都在他有限才能的范围之内。他甚至胆敢不顾上帝的律法，规定耶和华能力的界限。但上帝说过：“我要灭绝智慧人的智慧，废弃聪明人的聪明。智慧人在哪里？文士在哪里？这世上的辩士在哪里？上帝岂不是叫这世上的智慧变成愚拙吗？犹太人是要神迹，希腊人是求智慧，我们却是传钉十字架的基督，在犹太人为绊脚石，在外邦人为愚拙；但在那蒙召的，无论是犹太人、希腊人，基督总为上帝的能力，上帝的智慧”（林前1:19-24）。——《青年导报》1895年2月7日。{FE 332.1}[4]
基督教育原理-第44章
With such a leader -- an angel expelled from heaven -- these supposedly wise men of earth may fabricate bewitching theories with which to infatuate the minds of men. Paul said to the Galatians, "Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?" Satan has a masterly mind, and he has his chosen agents by which he works to exalt men, and clothe them with honor above God. But God is clothed with power; He is able to take those who are dead in trespasses and sins, and by the operation of the Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead, transform the human character, bringing back to the soul the lost image of God. Those who believe in Jesus Christ are changed from being rebels against the law of God into obedient servants and subjects of His kingdom. They are born again, regenerated, sanctified through the truth. This power of God the skeptic will not admit, and he refuses all evidence until it is brought under the domain of his finite faculties. He even dares to set aside the law of God, and prescribe the limit of Jehovah's power. But God has said, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness: but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,"--The Youth's Instructor, February 7, 1895. {FE 332.1}[4]
