健康勉言-第19章
(《评论与通讯》1884年7月29日)
健康改良是第三位天使信息的一个重要组成部分;我们作为自称相信这种改良的一班人,不应倒退,而应继续前进。我们藉着使自己与生命的定律有正确的关系而确保健康,乃是一件大事,许多人还没有这么做。我们中间的疾病和痛苦大多是违反自然律的结果,是各人因自己错误的习惯而招致的。{CH49.1}[1]
健康勉言-第19章
[The Review and Herald, July 29, 1884.]
The health reform is an important part of the third angel’s message; and as a people professing this reform, we should not retrograde, but make continual advancement. It is a great thing to ensure health by placing ourselves in right relations to the laws of life, and many have not done this. A large share of the sickness and suffering among us is the result of the transgression of physical law, is brought upon individuals by their own wrong habits.{CH 49.1}[1]
健康勉言-第19章
我们的祖先把各种习惯和欲念传给我们,使世界充满了疾病。父母的罪,藉着扭曲的食欲,带着可怕的能力,传到第三代和第四代。多世代不健康的饮食,贪食和自我放纵的各种习惯,使我们的贫民院,监狱,精神病院人满为患。在饮用茶,咖啡,葡萄酒,啤酒,甘蔗酒和白兰地,以及吸食烟草,鸦片和其它麻醉品上的不节制,导致了精神和身体极大的堕落,而这种堕落还在不断地加剧。{CH49.2}[2]
健康勉言-第19章
Our ancestors have bequeathed to us customs and appetites which are filling the world with disease. The sins of the parents, through perverted appetite, are with fearful power visited upon the children to the third and fourth generations. The bad eating of many generations, the gluttonous and self-indulgent habits of the people, are filling our poorhouses, our prisons, and our insane asylums. Intemperance, in drinking tea and coffee, wine, beer, rum, and brandy, and the use of tobacco, opium, and other narcotics, has resulted in great mental and physical degeneracy, and this degeneracy is constantly increasing.{CH 49.2}[2]
健康勉言-第19章
临到人类的这一切病害是上帝天意的安排吗?不是的;而是因为人们与祂天意的安排背道而驰,仍旧轻率地漠视祂的律法。我要用使徒的话恳劝那些没有因错误的教导和习惯而盲目麻痹的人,那些愿意向上帝献上他们所能献上的最佳服务的人:“所以弟兄们,我以上帝的慈悲劝你们,将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是上帝所喜悦的;你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的。不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化,叫你们察验何为上帝的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意”(罗12:1,2)。我们没有权利放肆地违背健康律法的一条原则。基督徒不应随从世界的风俗和习惯。{CH49.3}[3]
健康勉言-第19章
Are these ills visited upon the race through God’s providence? No; they exist because the people have gone contrary to His providence, and still continue to rashly disregard His laws. In the words of the apostle, I would entreat those who are not blinded and paralyzed by wrong teaching and practices, those who would render to God the best service of which they are capable: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”Romans 12:1, 2. We have no right to wantonly violate a single principle of the laws of health. Christians should not follow the customs and practices of the world.{CH 49.3}[3]
健康勉言-第19章
但以理的事迹记在经上是为了我们的益处。他决定采取的方针会使他在王的宫廷中显得奇怪。他不遵照朝臣的吃喝习惯,反而心中定意不吃王的膳不饮王的酒。这并不是一种匆匆形成的摇摆不定的决心,而是经由理智形成并且毅然执行的。但以理尊荣了上帝;那应许就实现在他身上。“尊重我的,我必重看他”(撒上2:30)。耶和华“在各样文字智慧上”赐给他“聪明知识”,他又“明白各样的异象和梦兆”(但1:17);以致他比王宫廷中的人都聪明,比通国的术士和用法术的更有智慧。{CH50.1}[4]
健康勉言-第19章
The history of Daniel is placed upon record for our benefit. He chose to take a course that would make him singular in the king’s court. He did not conform to the habits of the courtiers in eating and drinking, but purposed in his heart that he would not eat of the king’s meat nor drink of his wines. This was not a hastily formed, wavering purpose, but one that was intelligently formed and resolutely carried out. Daniel honored God; and the promise was fulfilled to him. “Them that honor Me I will honor.”1 Samuel 2:30. The Lord gave him “knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom,” and he had “understanding in all visions and dreams” (Daniel 1:17); so that he was wiser than all in the king’s courts, wiser than all the astrologers and magicians in the kingdom.{CH 50.1}[4]
健康勉言-第19章
那些以诚挚和真理侍奉上帝的人,必成为独特的民,不象世人,与世人有别。他们预备食物不是为鼓励人贪食或满足堕落的口味,而是要使自己获得最大的体力,从而处于最佳的精神状态。……{CH50.2}[5]
健康勉言-第19章
Those who serve God in sincerity and truth will be a peculiar people, unlike the world, separate from the world. Their food will be prepared, not to encourage gluttony or gratify a perverted taste, but to secure to themselves the greatest physical strength, and consequently the best mental conditions....{CH 50.2}[5]
健康勉言-第19章
在吃喝上过度放纵乃是罪。我们的天父已赐给我们健康改良的大福气,好使我们藉着顺从祂对我们的要求来荣耀祂。那些已经领受了有关这个重要问题的亮光的人,有责任对那些仍旧因缺乏知识而受苦的人表现更大的关心。那些正在期待救主快要显现的人,最不应该在这项伟大的改革工作上显出缺乏兴趣。身心全部机能和谐健康的运作会带来快乐;这些能力越高尚越优雅,快乐也就越纯粹越清洁。没有目的的人生是活受罪。心智的能力应该用在关系我们永恒利益的题目上。这会有益于身心的健康。{CH50.3}[6]
健康勉言-第19章
Excessive indulgence in eating and drinking is sin. Our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us the great blessing of health reform, that we may glorify Him by obeying the claims He has upon us. It is the duty of those who have received the light upon this important subject to manifest greater interest for those who are still suffering for want of knowledge. Those who are looking for the soon appearing of their Saviour should be the last to manifest a lack of interest in this great work of reform. The harmonious, healthy action of all the powers of body and mind results in happiness; the more elevated and refined the powers, the more pure and unalloyed the happiness. An aimless life is a living death. The mind should dwell upon themes relating to our eternal interests. This will be conducive to health of body and mind.{CH 50.3}[6]
健康勉言-第19章
我们的信仰要求我们提高改革的标准,迈出前进的步伐。我们蒙上帝悦纳的条件是与世界有实际的分别。主号召我们这班人:“从他们中间出来,与他们分别;不要沾不洁净的物,我就收纳你们。”世人会藐视你们,因为你们不迎合他们的标准,不参加他们放荡的娱乐,不随从他们邪恶有害的道路;但天上的上帝应许要接纳你们,作你们的父。“你们要作我的儿女。这是全能的主说的”(林后6:17,18)。{CH51.1}[7]
健康勉言-第19章
Our faith requires us to elevate the standard of reform, and take advance steps. The condition of our acceptance with God is a practical separation from the world. The Lord calls upon us as a people, “Come out from among them, and be ye separate,” “and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” The world may despise you because you do not meet their standard, engage in their dissipating amusements, and follow their pernicious ways; but the God of heaven promises to receive you, and to be a Father unto you. “Ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”2 Corinthians 6:17, 18.{CH 51.1}[7]
