MR No. 129 - Counsel Regarding Labor Unions
文稿发布-第02卷-第26章
这些工会是末日的兆头之一。人们在把自己捆成捆,准备被焚烧。他们可能是教会的信徒,但他们既已参加这些组织,就不可能遵守上帝的诫命了;因为参加这些组织就意味着无视全部的十诫。{2MR179.1}[1]

These unions are one of the signs of the last days. Men are binding up in bundles ready to be burned. They may be church members, but while they belong to these unions they cannot possibly keep the commandments of God, for to belong to these unions means to disregard the entire Decalogue. {2MR 179.1}[1]

“你要尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主你的上帝;又要爱邻舍如同自己”(路10:27)。这句话归纳了人的全部义务。它意味着将人的身、心、灵都奉献侍奉上帝。人怎能一面遵守这句话,一面保证自己支持剥夺邻舍行动自由的事呢?人怎能一面遵守这样的话,一面却结盟掠夺属下穷苦的阶层,不满足某些条件,就不准他们作买卖呢?圣经已非常清楚地预言了这种状况。约翰写道:“我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来。有两角如同羊羔,说话好像龙。……它又叫众人,无论大小贫富,自主的,为奴的,都在右手上,或是在额上,受一个印记。除了那受印记,有了兽名,或有兽名数目的,都不得作买卖”(启13:11-17)。(《信函》1903年26号2,3页,致J.A.伯登长老夫妇,1902年12月10日)1960年1月23日发表{2MR179.2}[2]

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself (Luke 10:27). These words sum up the whole duty of man. They mean the consecration of the whole being--body, soul, and spirit--to God's service. How can men obey these words and at the same time pledge themselves to support that which deprives their neighbors of freedom of action? And how can men obey these words and form combinations that rob the poorer classes of the advantages which justly belong to them, preventing them from buying or selling, except under certain conditions? How plainly the words of God have predicted this condition of things. John writes, "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. . . . And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:11-17).--Letter 26, 1903, pp. 2, 3. (To Elder and Mrs. J. A. Burden, Dec. 10, 1902.) Released January 23, 1960. {2MR 179.2}[2]
