得胜的基督-第35章
“因为他们虽然知道上帝,却不当作上帝荣耀祂,也不感谢祂。他们的思念变为虚妄,无知的心就昏暗了”(罗1:21)。{CTr 40.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第35章
When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Romans 1:21.{CTr 40.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第35章
洪水以前的世界虽然邪恶,但那个世代并不像一般人所想象的那样,是一个无知野蛮的社会。那时的人有机会达到崇高的标准,得到道德和学识方面的造就。他们具有非常的体力和智力,而且他们所有获得宗教与科学知识的机会也是无可比拟的。有人认为他们的寿命长,所以心智的成长也晚,其实这是错误的。他们的智力早就发育了。那些敬畏上帝并照着祂旨意而生活的人,在他们一生的年日中不断地在知识和智慧上有长进。现代世人所认为卓越的学者若与洪水以前相同年龄的人相比,他们在智力和体力上就必显着远为不如了。当人的寿数减短,体力减弱时,他的智力也照样降低了。……{CTr 40.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第35章
Notwithstanding the wickedness of the antediluvian world, that age was not, as has often been supposed, an era of ignorance and barbarism. The people were granted the opportunity of reaching a high standard of moral and intellectual attainment. They possessed great physical and mental strength, and their advantages for acquiring both religious and scientific knowledge were unrivaled. It is a mistake to suppose that because they lived to a great age their minds matured late; their mental powers were early developed, and those who cherished the fear of God and lived in harmony with His will continued to increase in knowledge and wisdom throughout their life.... As the years of human beings have decreased, and their physical strength has diminished, so their mental capacities have lessened....{CTr 40.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第35章
洪水以前的人固然没有书籍,也没有成文的记载,但是他们既有非常的体力和智力,所以记忆力也非常强,能以领会并记忆一切所听到的事,又能原原本本地传给他们的后代。……那时绝不是宗教的黑暗时期,乃是极大的光明时代。全世界的人都有机会接受亚当的教训。……{CTr 40.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第35章
The antediluvians were without books, they had no written records; but with their great physical and mental vigor, they had strong memories, able to grasp and to retain that which was communicated to them, and in turn to transmit it unimpaired to their posterity.... Far from being an era of religious darkness, that was an age of great light. All the world had opportunity to receive instruction from Adam....{CTr 40.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第35章
当伊甸园仍在人眼前,而其入口有天使守护时,怀疑派是无法否认其存在的。创造的程序,伊甸园的目的,园中两棵与人类命运息息相关之树的历史,都是无可置辩的事实。当亚当还在人间的时候,上帝的存在和权威,以及人对于祂律法的义务,都是不容世人轻易怀疑的真理。{CTr 40.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第35章
Skepticism could not deny the existence of Eden while it stood just in sight, its entrance barred by watching angels. The order of creation, the object of the garden, the history of its two trees so closely connected with human destiny, were undisputed facts. And the existence and supreme authority of God, the obligation of His law, were truths that people were slow to question while Adam was among them.{CTr 40.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第35章
那时虽然罪孽充斥,但仍有一系圣洁的人藉着与上帝交往而成为高尚尊贵的人。他们住在世上好像是与上天为邻为友。这些人有高超的智力和非常的造诣。他们负有重大而神圣的使命──发展公义的品格,将敬虔的教训不但传给当时的众人,也要留给将来的世代。圣经中只提到少数最杰出的人物。但是上帝在各世代都有忠心的见证人,诚心的敬拜者。(PP.82-84){CTr 40.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第35章
Notwithstanding the prevailing iniquity, there was a line of holy men and women who, elevated and ennobled by communion with God, lived as in the companionship of heaven. They were people of massive intellect, of wonderful attainments. They had a great and holy mission—to develop a character of righteousness, to teach a lesson of godliness not only to the people of their time but for future generations. Only a few of the most prominent are mentioned in the Scriptures, but all through the ages God had faithful witnesses, truehearted worshipers.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 82-84.{CTr 40.5}[5]
