奋斗与勇敢-第27章
(创6:1-8)
“他们的偶像,是金的银的,是人手所造的。……造他的要和他一样,凡靠他的也要如此”(诗115:4-8)。{CC 32.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
Genesis 6:1-8[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
在挪亚的日子,由于亚当犯罪和该隐杀人的后果,地就受了双重的咒诅。虽然如此,自然界的面貌还没有多大的改变。……那时人类还具有起初的活力。从亚当能接近那使人延长寿命的生命树以来,只经过了几个世纪。人的寿命仍是以百年来计算的。如果这些长寿的人能用他们非常的能力来计划,工作,并专心事奉上帝,他们就可以使创造主的名在地上得到称赞。……可惜他们没有这样做。……{CC 32.2}[2]

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.... They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. Psalm 115:4-8. {CC 32.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
他们故意不认识上帝,终于否定祂的存在。他们反倒敬拜自然界,而不敬拜自然界的上帝。……他们以常绿树的大园林作为敬拜假神之用。……世人故意忘记上帝,敬拜他们所幻想的假神,结果他们就越来越败坏了。(PP90,91){CC 32.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
In the days of Noah a double curse was resting upon the earth in consequence of Adam’s transgression and of the murder committed by Cain. Yet this had not greatly changed the face of nature.... The human race yet retained much of its early vigor. But a few generations had passed since Adam had access to the tree which was to prolong life; and man’s existence was still measured by centuries. Had that long-lived people with their rare powers to plan and execute, devoted themselves to the service of God, they would have made their Creator’s name a praise in the earth.... But they failed to do this.... {CC 32.2}[3]

那时代的人并不都是真实完全的拜偶像者。许多人还自称是敬拜上帝的。他们声称他们的偶像不过是代表上帝,藉着这些偶像,可以使人对上帝有更清楚的概念。这一等人是最先拒绝挪亚所传之道的。他们既然企图用具体的东西来代表上帝,他们的心眼就昏昧了,以致看不出上帝的威严和能力。他们再也体会不到祂品德的圣洁,祂律法的神圣与不变性。(PP95){CC 32.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
Not desiring to retain God in their knowledge, they soon came to deny His existence. They adored nature in place of the God of nature.... Extensive groves, that retained their foliage throughout the year, were dedicated to the worship of false gods.... Men put God out of their knowledge and worshiped the creatures of their own imagination; and as the result, they became more and more debased.48 {CC 32.3}[4]

人的道德总不能高过他对于真理、纯洁和神圣的观念。人心若不超越人性的水准,若不藉着信去思考上帝无限的智慧和慈爱而使自己超凡脱俗,那么他就要渐渐低落下去。敬拜假神的人认为他们所崇奉之神明的品德和情感是与人类一样的,所以认为它们品格的标准也和犯罪的人类一样。这些人因而败坏了。(PP91){CC 32.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第27章
The men of that generation were not all, in the fullest acceptation of the term, idolaters. Many professed to be worshipers of God. They claimed that their idols were representations of the Deity and that through them the people could obtain a clearer conception of the divine Being. This class were foremost in rejecting the preaching of Noah. As they endeavored to represent God by material objects, their minds were blinded to His majesty and power; they ceased to realize the holiness of His character, or the sacred, unchanging nature of His requirements.49 {CC 32.4}[5]
