得胜的基督-第331章
“谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗”(罗8:35)?{CTr 336.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第331章
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword??Romans 8:35.{CTr 336.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第331章
复临信仰的反对者们非但不根据圣经理论,反而选择使用讥笑和轻蔑。一般轻浮和亵慢的人因宗教教师们的态度而胆大妄为,竟以侮辱的谩骂和卑鄙而亵渎的讥讽,尽量诬蔑米勒耳和他的工作。这个白发的老人曾离开舒适的家庭,用自己的钱旅行各城各镇,辛劳不倦地把“审判近了”的严肃警告传给世人,竟被人讥诮并排斥为狂热之徒,说谎的人,卑鄙的投机分子。{CTr 336.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第331章
Instead of arguments from the Scriptures, the opponents of the Advent faith chose to employ ridicule and scoffing. The careless and ungodly, emboldened by the position of religious teachers, resorted to opprobrious epithets, to base and blasphemous witticisms, in their efforts to heap contumely upon William Miller and his work. The gray-headed man who had left a comfortable home to travel at his own expense from city to city, from town to village, toiling unceasingly to bear to the world the solemn warning of the judgment near, was sneeringly denounced as a fanatic, a liar, a speculating knave.{CTr 336.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第331章
光阴、金钱和才干竟被用来诬蔑中伤复临信徒,激起对他们的偏见,使他们受公众藐视。牧师们忙着收集诽谤的谣言,荒谬恶毒的捏造出来的事,并在讲台上散布出来。他们认真努力地使人心转离基督复临的题目。然而一般教会在设法消灭复临信仰时,却摧毁了对上帝之道的信心。他们把有关基督复临和世界末日之预言的研究当作一种罪恶可耻的事。他们的教训竟使人成为无神主义者,许多人因此就自由自在地随从自己不圣洁的情欲行事。然后这些祸害的创始者却把责任都归在相信基督复临的人身上。{CTr 336.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第331章
Time, means, and talents were employed in misrepresenting and maligning Adventists, in exciting prejudice against them, and holding them up to public contempt. Ministers occupied themselves in gathering up damaging reports, absurd and malicious fabrications, and dealing them out from the pulpit. Earnest were the efforts put forth to draw away the minds of the people from the subject of the Second Advent. But in seeking to crush out Adventism, the popular ministry undermined faith in the Word of God. It was made to appear a sin, something of which people should be ashamed, to study the prophecies that relate to the coming of Christ and the end of the world. This teaching made some infidels, and many took license to walk after their own ungodly lusts. Then the authors of the evil charged it all upon Adventists.{CTr 336.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第331章
卫斯理兄弟二人曾遭遇相似的控告,贪爱安逸、不敬虔的传道人不断拦阻他们的工作,设法摧毁他们的感化力。他们被说成是没有爱心的,被控告为骄傲虚荣的人,因为他们没有向当时代受人景仰的教师们致敬。他们被控告为怀疑论者,捣乱分子,藐视权威的人。约翰.卫斯理无畏地把这些控告丢回到那些编造者身上,说明他们自己要为他们所控告卫理公会信徒的那些恶行负责。……真理与谬道之间的大斗争自从人类堕落以来一直在一个世纪接一个世纪的进行着。上帝与天使,以及那些与他们联合的人,一直在邀请人、敦促人悔改成圣回到天国。撒但和他的使者以及受他们鼓动的人,却一直在反对为使堕落人类受益和得救而做出的每一次努力。(4SP 218-220){CTr 336.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第331章
The Wesleys encountered similar accusations from the ease-loving, godless ministers who were constantly intercepting their labors and seeking to destroy their influence. They were pronounced uncharitable, and accused of pride and vanity, because they did not pay homage to the popular teachers of their time. They were accused of skepticism, of disorderly practices, and of contempt of authority. John Wesley fearlessly threw back these charges upon those who framed them, showing that they themselves were responsible for the very evils of which they accused the Methodists.... The great controversy between truth and error has been carried forward from century to century since the fall of man. God and angels, and those united with them, have been inviting, urging people to repentance and holiness and heaven; while Satan and his angels, and human agents inspired by them, have been opposing every effort to benefit and save the fallen race.—The Spirit of Prophecy 4:218-220.{CTr 336.4}[4]
