奋斗与勇敢-第96章
(利10:1-11)
“酒能使人亵慢,浓酒使人喧嚷;凡因酒错误的,就无智慧”(箴20:1)。{CC 101.1}[1]

Leviticus 10:1-11[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第96章
拿答和亚比户如果没有事先随便饮酒,以致半醉半醒,就决不至犯那可怕的罪。他们明知自己必需要作最仔细和严肃的准备,然后才可以进入那有上帝圣颜显现的圣所;可是因了他们没有节制,他们就不配担任圣洁的职分。他们的心志混乱了,他们的道德观念迟钝了,以致不能分辨圣物与俗物之间的区别。这样,上帝警告亚伦和他剩下的儿子说:“……清酒,浓酒,都不可喝,……使你们可以将圣的,俗的,洁净的,不洁净的,分别出来。……”(利10:9-11)。烈性的酒类能使人的身体软弱,心志模糊,道德堕落。它令人看不出圣洁事物的神圣性质,或遵守上帝律法的严肃义务。凡身负神圣责任的人必须有严格的节制,以便有清醒的头脑可以辨别是非,并有坚持正义的毅力和执行公理与施行慈怜的智慧。{CC 101.2}[2]

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Proverbs 20:1. {CC 101.1}[2]

每一个跟从基督的人身上都负有这同样的责任。……上帝向各世代基督的教会发出严肃而可怕的警告说:“若有人毁坏上帝的殿,上帝必要毁坏那人;因为上帝的殿是圣的,这殿就是你们”(林前3:17)。(PP361,362){CC 101.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第96章
Nadab and Abihu would never have committed that fatal sin had they not first become partially intoxicated by the free use of wine. They understood that the most careful and solemn preparation was necessary before presenting themselves in the sanctuary, where the divine Presence was manifested; but by intemperance they were disqualified for their holy office. Their minds became confused and their moral perceptions dulled so that they could not discern the difference between the sacred and the common. To Aaron and his surviving sons was given the warning: “Do not drink wine nor strong drink, ... that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean....” The use of spirituous liquors has the effect to weaken the body, confuse the mind, and debase the morals. It prevents men from realizing the sacredness of holy things or the binding force of God’s requirements. All who occupied positions of sacred responsibility were to be men of strict temperance, that their minds might be clear to discriminate between right and wrong, that they might possess firmness of principle, and wisdom to administer justice and to show mercy. {CC 101.2}[3]

亚伦两个儿子的事例记录下来,是为了上帝子民的益处,并且特别要教训那些为基督复临作准备的人:放纵堕落的食欲会摧毁人敏锐的感官,影响上帝赐给人的思维能力,使人看不出属灵圣洁事物的神圣性,并视悖逆为顺眼的而不是罪大恶极的。(Te149){CC 101.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第96章
The same obligation rests upon every follower of Christ.... To the church of Christ in all ages is addressed the solemn and fearful warning, “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (1 Corinthians 3:17).5 {CC 101.3}[4]
