Chap. 45—Balanced Counsel on Picture-making and Idolatry

对男男女女来说，在照相的问题上划定界限是一件难事。有人攻击照片、银板照相法和各种图片。他们说，一切图片都要烧掉，并极力主张说，第二条诫命禁止一切图片；还说它们是偶像。{3SM 330.1}[1]

[See Selected Messages 2:318-320.]
It is a difficult matter for men and women to draw the line in the matter of picture-making. Some have made a raid against pictures, daguerreo-types, and pictures of every kind. Everything must be burned up, they say, urging that the making of all pictures is prohibited by the second commandment; that they are an idol.{3SM 330.1}[1]

偶像乃是人们所喜爱并倚靠、以代替敬爱和信靠他们创造主的任何东西。凡是人们所想得到和倚靠的，以为能帮助他们、对他们有益处，却使他们离开上帝的属世事物，都是他们的偶像。凡使人移情别恋，或减损人心对上帝至上的爱，或插进来阻止人无限信任和完全倚靠上帝的事，在心灵的殿宇中都属偶像。{3SM 330.2}[2]

An idol is anything that human beings love and trust in instead of loving and trusting in the Lord their Maker. Whatever earthly thing men desire and trust in as having power to help them and do them good, leads them away from God, and is to them an idol. Whatever divides the affections, or takes away from the soul the supreme love of God, or interposes to prevent unlimited confidence and entire trust in God, assumes the character and takes the form of an idol in the soul temple.{3SM 330.2}[2]

第一条大诫命乃是：“你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主你的上帝”（太22:37）。这不允许跟上帝有任何离情别恋的事。在约壹2:15-17中我们读到：“不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。因为凡世界上的事，就象肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲，都不是从父来的，乃是从世界来的。这世界和其上的情欲都要过去，惟独遵行上帝旨意的，是永远常存”。如果拍摄的照片有使人从上帝移情别恋的倾向，并且代替上帝受到敬拜，它们就成了偶像。难道那些自称跟从耶稣基督的人抬举这些东西在上帝之上，并且爱上这些东西了吗？难道他们爱财宝的心充满了耶稣应该占据的位置了吗？{3SM 330.3}[3]

The first great commandment is, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37). Here is allowed no separation of the affections from God. In?1 John 2:15-17?we read, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world,the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” Now if the pictures made have a tendency to separate the affections from God, and are worshiped in the place of God, they are idols. Have those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ exalted these things above God, and given their affections to them? Has their love for treasures filled a place in their hearts that Jesus should occupy?{3SM 330.3}[3]

难道那些把朋友们的照片和他们的所有图片都烧掉了的人，因此达到了更高的献身状态，在言语、行为和心灵上更高尚、高贵、更有属天的心思了吗？他们的经验比以前更丰富了吗？他们在作出这种销毁的牺牲之后，更多祷告，信心也更完全了吗？他们已经上到山上了吗？他们心中燃烧着圣火，发出新的热心，对上帝的和祂的工作比以往更献身了吗？有来自牺牲之坛上的火炭沾了他们的心和他们的口了吗？凭着他们的果子，你们就可以看出他们工作的性质。——《文稿》1886年第50号。{3SM 331.1}[4]

Have those who have burned up all their pictures of friends and any kind of pictures they happened to have, come up to a higher state of consecration for this act, and do they seem in words, in deportment, and in soul, to be ennobled, elevated, more heavenly-minded? Is their experience richer than before? Do they pray more, and believe with a more perfect faith after this consuming sacrifice which they have made? Have they come up into the mount? Has the holy fire been kindled in their hearts, giving new zeal and greater devotion to God and His work than before? Has a live coal from off the altar of sacrifice touched their hearts and their lips? By their fruits you can tell the character of the work.—Manuscript 50, 1886.{3SM 331.1}[4]
