    “The Lively Oracles Given to Us by Richard Allestree” discusses the author’s concerns about the misuse and disrespect of sacred Scriptures in the current age.
    《赐予我们的活泼神谕》(作者理查德·阿莱斯特里[Richard Allestree])讨论了作者对当代神圣经文被滥用和轻视的担忧。

    He notes that people are playing with and making light of these holy texts, and this is not only due to the impulsive use of words but also stems from malicious hearts and the pursuit of sensual pleasures.
    他指出,人们调侃并轻慢这些神圣的经文,这不仅是因为语言上无意的草率使用,更是出于恶意的内心和对感官享乐的追求。

    The author feels it’s necessary to defend and emphasize the importance of the Scriptures, highlighting their inherent excellence and urging people to treat them with reverence and obedience.
    作者认为,有必要为经文辩护并强调其重要性,突出其内在的卓越性,并敦促人们以敬畏和顺服之心对待经文。

    Allestree intends to achieve this by appealing to love, hope, fear, shame, and sorrow, and by addressing reason and evidence.
    阿莱斯特里计划通过呼唤爱、盼望、恐惧、羞耻和悲伤来实现这一目标,同时诉诸理性和证据。

    The ultimate goal is to encourage readers to study the Scriptures themselves and experience their transformative power.
    最终目标是鼓励读者亲自研读圣经,并亲身经历其改变生命的大能。

    He emphasizes the significance of studying and living by the Scriptures, as they will be the standard by which all individuals are judged in the end.
    他强调,研读经文并以之而活的重要性,因为最终的审判中,经文将成为人人被审判的标准。

    The author emphasizes that even if miraculous events were to occur, those who do not heed the teachings of the Scriptures would still not be convinced, as shown in the biblical story of the rich man and Lazarus.
    作者强调,即便出现奇迹,那些不听从圣经教诲的人仍不会被说服,正如圣经中富人和拉撒路的故事所揭示的那样。
