得胜的基督-第33章
God Begins Anew With Seth, February 1
得胜的基督-第33章
“上帝另给我立了一个儿子代替亚伯,因为该隐杀了他。……亚当……生了一个儿子,形象样式和自己相似,就给他起名叫塞特”(创4:25-5:3)。{CTr 38.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第33章
God ... hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.... Adam ... begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.Genesis 4:25-5:3.{CTr 38.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第33章
上帝又赐给亚当一个儿子,作为祂应许的继承者,就是承受属灵长子权的后嗣。夏娃给这个儿子起名叫塞特,意思是“设立”或“补充”。她说:“上帝另给我立了一个儿子代替亚伯,因为该隐杀了他”(创4:25)。塞特的身材比该隐或亚伯更高大,并且比他的兄弟更与亚当相似。他品格高尚,随从亚伯的榜样。可是他并没有承受比该隐更为良善的天性。关于亚当的受造,经上记着说:“当上帝造人的日子,是照着自己的样式造的。”但是亚当堕落之后,“生了一个儿子,形象样式和自己相似”(创5: 1,3)。……{CTr 38.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第33章
To Adam was given another son, to be the inheritor of the divine promise, the heir of the spiritual birthright. The name Seth, given to this son, signified “appointed,” or “compensation,” “for,” said the mother, “God ... hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.” Seth was of more noble stature than Cain or Abel, and resembled Adam more closely than did his other sons. He was a worthy character, following in the steps of Abel. Yet he inherited no more natural goodness than did Cain. Concerning the creation of Adam it is said, “In the likeness of God made he him”; but Adam, after the Fall, “begat a son in his own likeness, after his image.” ...{CTr 38.2}[2]

亚当一切忠于上帝的的儿女都尊敬安息日。但是该隐和他的后裔却不敬重上帝安息的圣日。他们不顾耶和华明白的指示,而自定工作和安息的日子。……{CTr 38.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第33章
The Sabbath was honored by all the children of Adam that remained loyal to God. But Cain and his descendants did not respect the day upon which God had rested. They chose their own time for labor and for rest, regardless of Jehovah’s express command....{CTr 38.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第33章
这两等人彼此隔离了一段时期。该隐的种族从他们起先居留的地方扩展出去,散布在塞特的儿女曾经居住过的平原和山谷之中。塞特的子孙为了避免他们腐化的影响,就退往山里去安家。……但时间渐逝,他们渐渐地出来与山下的居民来往。这种来往产生了极恶劣的结果。“上帝的儿子们看见人的女子美貌”(创6: 2)。塞特的子孙迷恋于该隐后代女子的美色,就与她们通婚,因此上帝就喜悦他们。许多敬拜上帝的人被那经常在他们面前的引诱所蛊惑,就陷在罪里,丧失了他们特殊和圣洁的品格。…... {CTr 38.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第33章
For some time the two classes remained separate. The race of Cain, spreading from the place of their first settlement, dispersed over the plains and valleys where the children of Seth had dwelt; and the latter, in order to escape from their contaminating influence, withdrew to the mountains, and there made their home.... But in the lapse of time they ventured, little by little, to mingle with the inhabitants of the valleys. This association was productive of the worst results. “The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair.” The children of Seth, attracted by the beauty of the daughters of Cain’s descendants, displeased the Lord by intermarrying with them. Many of the worshipers of God were beguiled into sin by the allurements that were now constantly before them, and they lost their peculiar, holy character....{CTr 38.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第33章
亚当在人间住了将近一千年,眼见罪的结果。他忠心地设法挽回罪恶的狂澜。……他眼见世界到处败坏,最后要造成洪水毁灭全世界的结果。起先创造主宣判他的死刑时,他虽然觉得可怕,但后来他眼见罪的结果几乎有一千年之久,就觉得上帝使一个痛苦忧患的人生归于结束,乃是出于祂的慈爱。(PP.80-82){CTr 38.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第33章
For nearly a thousand years Adam lived among his descendants, a witness to the results of sin. Faithfully he sought to stem the tide of evil.... He witnessed the wide-spreading corruption that was finally to cause the destruction of the world by a flood; and though the sentence of death pronounced upon him by His Maker had at first appeared terrible, yet after beholding for nearly a thousand years the results of sin, he felt that it was merciful in God to bring to an end a life of suffering and sorrow.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 80-82.{CTr 38.5}[5]
