People never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it
人们从不会因为无法理解而拒绝圣经
(J.C. Ryle, “Thoughts For Young Men“)
(J.C.莱尔,《给年轻人的思考》)
“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed!” John 3:19-20
“这就是审判:光来到世界,世人因自己的行为是恶的,不爱光倒爱黑暗。凡作恶的便恨光,并不来就光,恐怕他的行为受到责备。”约翰福音3:19-20
Be very sure of this – people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it.
要确信这一点 – 人们从不会因为无法理解而拒绝圣经。
They understand it only too well! They understand that it condemns their own behavior. They understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment! They try to believe it is false and useless – because they don’t like to believe it is true.
他们理解得太清楚了!他们明白圣经谴责他们的行为。他们明白圣经见证他们的罪,并召他们受审判!他们试图相信圣经是虚假和无用的 – 因为他们不愿相信它是真实的。
An evil lifestyle must always raise an objection to this holy book.
邪恶的生活方式必然会对这本圣书产生抵触。
Men question the truth of Christianity – because they hate the practice of it!
人们质疑基督教的真理 – 是因为他们憎恨实践它!
“For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
“故此,神就给他们一个引导错误的心,叫他们信从虚谎,使一切不信真理、倒喜爱不义的人都被定罪。”帖撒罗尼迦后书2:11-12
