奋斗与勇敢-第338章
(徒19:1-20)
“那已经信的,多有人来承认诉说自己所行的事,平素行邪术的,也有许多人把书拿来,堆积在众人面前焚烧”(徒19:18,19)。{CC 343.1}[1]

Acts 19:1-20[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第338章
以弗所悔改信主的人焚烧他们邪术的书籍,表明他们憎恶过去所喜欢的事物。他们过去之所以得罪上帝并危害他们自己的心灵,乃是因为他们施行邪术的事;所以他们对邪术显出那么大的愤恨。……门徒们若保留这些书籍,就必使自己易受试探;如果将其出售,则必使别人受其引诱。他们已经放弃黑暗的国度,为要败坏撒但的权势起见,他们不惜任何牺牲。真理就是这样战胜了人的偏见和贪爱钱财的心。……其影响所及,连保罗都没有料想到。这消息从以弗所传到远近各处,基督的圣工就得了强大的推动力。在使徒保罗跑尽了他“当跑的路”很久之后,这些事仍然生动地留在人们的记忆之中,并因此引领多人悔改相信福音。{CC 343.2}[2]

And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men. Acts 19:18, 19. {CC 343.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第338章
有人天真地以为异教的迷信在现代文明的影响之下已经绝迹了。但是上帝的话和一些严酷的事实都说明在这个基督化的时代和基督教的国家里仍有行邪术的事,正如古时一样。古时的邪术实际上就是今日之所谓招魂术。撒但装成死去的亲友迷惑千万人的心。……{CC 343.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第338章
By burning their books on magic, the Ephesian converts showed that the things in which they had once delighted they now abhorred. It was by and through magic that they had especially offended God and imperiled their souls; and it was against magic that they showed such indignation.... By retaining these books the disciples would have exposed themselves to temptation; by selling them they would have placed temptation in the way of others. They had renounced the kingdom of darkness, and to destroy its power they did not hesitate at any sacrifice. Thus truth triumphed over men’s prejudices and their love of money.... The influence of what had taken place was more widespread than even Paul realized. From Ephesus the news was widely circulated, and a strong impetus was given to the cause of Christ. Long after the apostle himself had finished his course, these scenes lived in the memory of men and were the means of winning converts to the gospel. {CC 343.2}[3]

未开化时代的术士,与今日招魂术的灵媒、以及占卦,看相、算命的人是一样的。……如果那遮蔽我们眼目的帷幔能以揭开,我们就可以看见恶使者用各样的诡计施行欺骗和毁灭。无论何处若发出使人忘记上帝的影响,那里就有撒但发挥他蛊惑的力量。……今日上帝的子民必须留意使徒对以弗所教会的劝告:“那暗昧无益的事,不要与人同行,倒要责备行这事的人”(弗5:11)。(AA288-290){CC 343.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第338章
It is fondly supposed that heathen superstitions have disappeared before the civilization of the twentieth century. But the word of God and the stern testimony of facts declare that sorcery is practiced in this age as verily as in the days of the old-time magicians. The ancient system of magic is, in reality, the same as what is now known as modern spiritualism. Satan is finding access to thousands of minds by presenting himself under the guise of departed friends.... {CC 343.3}[4]
