MR No. 779 - Religious Use of Buildings Once Used for Corrupt Purposes
文稿发布-第10卷-第10章
有人问我，我们的信徒购买S.N.赫斯格长老在纽约办过聚会，但曾被用作不良场所的会堂合适吗？{10MR14.1}[1]

I have been asked the question, Is it right for our people to purchase the hall in which Elder [S. N.] Haskell has been holding meetings in New York, seeing that this hall was once used for wicked purposes? {10MR 14.1}[1]

我回答说，如果我能就我们城市里许多好房子自由发表意见的话，我会对你们讲很多使你们惊讶的话。参加我们聚会的一些人可能会招致最难听的非议。但我们不会对我们的传道士说：“你们为什么把时间花在这么邪恶的听众身上？”耶稣受到与税吏和罪人一起吃饭的指责时是怎么说的？——“我来本不是召义人悔改。乃是召罪人悔改”（路5:32）。{10MR14.2}[2]

I reply, Were I at liberty to express my mind in regard to many of the fine houses in our cities, I could tell you much that would astonish you. And most revolting disclosures could be made regarding some who attend our meetings. But we do not say to our ministers, "Why do you spend your time on such a wicked audience?" What said Christ when accused of eating with publicans and sinners? --"I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." {10MR 14.2}[2]

这个世界是我们传道工作的园地，但安息日复临信徒中能认识到这一点的人是何等稀少！我们的大城市出现了洪水之前世界的状况。那时“耶和华见人在地上罪恶很大，终日所思想的尽都是恶”（创6:5）。住在堂皇居所的人犯下侮辱上帝的罪，但他们中一些人在听到最后考验性信息之后会知罪归正。上帝会将祂无尽的恩典库存赐予所有来到祂面前的人。祂看到世人堕落沦丧，就宣称圣灵将倾泻到凡有血气的人身上。许多从未听说过真理的人在听到重大惊人的信息后，会因圣灵而感悟自己的罪。{10MR14.3}[3]

This world is our field of missionary toil, but how few among Seventh-day Adventists have realized this! The condition of our large cities is represented by the condition of the world before the flood, when "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5). God-dishonoring sins are practiced by people living in lordly houses, but some of these very people under the preaching of the last testing message will be convicted and converted. From His inexhaustible store of grace God can endow all who come to Him. Looking upon humanity, fallen and degraded, He declares that the Holy Spirit shall be poured out upon all flesh. Many who have never heard the truth shall feel the conviction of the Spirit as they listen to the message of startling importance. {10MR 14.3}[3]

如果所提及会堂的地点有利于我们的工作，如果上帝看到购买这个会堂有利于我们打开门路，由侮辱上帝的场所变成了荣耀上帝的场所——从那些败坏它的人手中拿过来，交在努力成圣的人手中——这不就是为主得胜吗？{10MR15.1}[4]

If the hall mentioned is in a position favorable for our work, and if God sees fit to open the way for us to purchase this hall, and it is changed from a place where God is dishonored to a place where He is honored--taken away from those who have corrupted it, and placed in the hands of a people who are striving for sanctification and holiness--will not a victory be gained for the Lord? {10MR 15.1}[4]

要以理性的眼光看待这个问题，你会看到建筑本身没有任何罪。是那些滥用上帝所赐之能力的人侮辱了它。建筑本身没做任何错事。是邪恶之人的行为令其背负恶名。不是建筑而是那些错误使用它的人侮辱了他们的创造主，需要受到指责。他们通过饮用烈酒——这个使数以千计的建筑变成人间地狱的祸害而滥用了他们的能力。（《文稿》1901年127号2-4页，无标题文稿，1901年12月23日）怀爱伦著作托管委员会1980年3月17日发布于美国首都华盛顿{10MR15.2}[5]

Look at this matter in a rational light, and you will see that the building is innocent of any crime. The disgrace has been brought on it by men who have perverted their God-given powers. The building itself has done nothing wrong. The behavior of wicked men has given it a bad name. Not the building, but the men who have dishonored their Creator by a wrong use of it, should be stigmatized. They have perverted their powers by the use of strong drink--a curse that has made thousands of buildings a hell on earth.--Ms 127, 1901, pp. 2-4. (Untitled Manuscript, December 23, 1901.) White Estate Washington, D. C. March 17, 1980 {10MR 15.2}[5]
