十诫的价值观 - 愛心 / The Values of Ten Commandment - Love

第六条:不可杀人。(愛心)Sixth:"You shall not kill." (Love)
我們要彼此相愛,像主耶穌愛我們一樣,這是祂的命令
We need to love one another like Jesus loves us, because this is His command

十诫-人生准则
The Ten Commandments - Guidelines of Life

十诫是明确的人生准则。十诫是幸福家庭的明确准则,假如罪恶和违法走进来破坏家庭,那么在这样的家庭是绝不可能有幸福的。美国1963年6月17日下令不准在公立学校进行圣经教育,除乔治亚洲的高中以外,大部分公立学校都没有进行圣经教育。今天,丢掉了主祈祷文和十戒命的校园里的吸毒、淫乱、暴力和枪击事件数不胜数。
The Ten commandments are the guidelines in one's life. The Ten Commandments gives birth to a happy family, if sins and illegality come to destroy a family, then there will not be any happiness in the family itself. In 1963, June 17th, America gave an order that all the bible teaching in public schools should be stopped, except the high schools in the state of Georgia. They stopped practicing the Lord's prayer and the Ten Commandments, and as a result, there are a lot of happenings in American schools such as drug-abusing, promiscuous, violence, gun-shooting etc.

青少年的大学考试成绩急聚下降,婚前性关系到处泛滥,而且吸毒、枪击事件和离家出走的由8倍猛增到了13倍。最近,在由基督教徒组织的为在公立中学进行圣经教育的全国会议上,号召开展在全美50个洲恢复圣经教育的运动,受到这个影响,现已在29个洲100多所学校已开始实施圣经教育。
The results in university are deteriorating, sex before marriage is deluging. The drug-abusing, gun shooting and running away from home cases even grown from 8 times to 13 times. Lately, a Christian organisation suggested to recover the bible studies in public schools. Due to this, right now in 29 states, more than 100 schools had started to teach bible studies.

為什麼不可杀人? Why we shall not kill?
生命是神所赐的We are created by God
若人的生命是神个别独特的创造,结束生命或导致生命结束是唯独神才可以拥有的一个特权。
If a person's life is an unique creation of God, then only God has the right to end his or her life.

人带着神的形像We have the image of God
根据(创1:27,9:6),人是按着神的形像被造,因此我们敬畏神,也当彼此尊重衪在我们里面的形像,以表明对神形像的敬重.
According to (Gen 1:27, 9:6), man are made in the image of God, thus we fear God as well as respecting the image of Him inside us.

什麼是杀人? What is killing?
1. 恶毒或恨人 Malice or hating the others
馬 太 Matthew5:21-22 你們聽見有吩咐古人的話、說、『不可殺人、』又說、『凡殺人的、難免受審判。』只是我告訴你們、凡向弟兄動怒的、難免受審判。〔有古卷在凡字下添無緣無故的五字〕凡罵弟兄是拉加的、難免公會的審斷.凡罵弟兄是魔利的、難免地獄的火。
"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.



所以「恨人的心」与「杀人的行动」是没有分别的。
Thus, hating others and killing others are the same.

诗篇 Psalm 139:22-24,「神阿!求你鉴察我,知道我的心思,试炼我,知道我的意念.看在我里面有甚么恶行没有,引导我走永生的道路。」
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

其中的「恶行」是神看我们的意念已是即成的行为。
The "offensive way" means God sees our thoughts as something that will be our action.


2. 残忍折磨人的 Torturing the others
这是残忍,强暴的行为,例如偷袭,洗脑或严刑逼供等。
This is cruel, a brutal action, such as stealing, brainwashing or torturing someone for a confession etc.

3. 堕胎的合法化 The legality of abortion
是假藉法律,摧毁生命的行为,因为根据遗传学显示,从受孕的那一剎那开始,胎儿已是一个诞生而正在成形的人,惟有当胎儿在无可避免的过失下而危害到母亲生命时,才可以接纳堕落的手术,然而,根据医生的发现,这种情形在今天已属罕见。除了上述的理由以外,「堕胎合法化」总是一种社会的罪恶。
It is an action to destroy life through law because according to genetic science, once a baby was conceived, the baby has a life on its own. Only if the life of the baby or the mother herself was in a crisis, then an abortion is acceptable. According to doctors, this phenomena is decreasing in the society. Other than that, the legality of abortion is always a criminality in the society.


4. 自杀 Suicide
「自杀」是人在失去理智的平衡之下而做出的行为,虽然有人认为自杀的行为并不导致人失掉神的恩典,然而却直接抵触神的诫命.
Suicide is an action carried out by someone who is irrational. Although some may think that suicide doesn't make one loses God's grace, but it is directly against God's command.

爱的4大方向4 Direction of Love
约翰一书4:7-12
亲爱的弟兄啊,我们应当彼此相爱,因为爱是从 神来的。凡有爱心的,都是由 神而生,并且认识 神。没有爱心的,就不认识 神。因为 神就是爱。神差他独生子到世间来,使我们借着他得生, 神爱我们的心在此就显明了。不是我们爱 神,乃是 神爱我们,差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭,这就是爱了。亲爱的弟兄啊,神既是这样爱我们,我们也当彼此相爱。从来没有人见过 神。我们若彼此相爱,神就住在我们里面,爱他的心在我们里面得以完全了。
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

神是爱,魔鬼是恨恶。神的爱带来生命,美丽与祝福,魔鬼的恨恶只能带来死亡,污秽与咒诅。主耶稣说:“盗贼来,无非是要偷盗、杀害、毁坏;人子来,是要叫羊得生命,并且得的更丰盛。”
God is love, the devil is hatred. God's love brings life, beautifulness and blessings, the devil's hatred only brings death, cursing and filthiness. Lord Jesus said, "the thief come to kill, steal destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

那我们应该怎样显出爱的生活?我們要彼此相愛,像主耶穌愛我們一樣,這是祂的命令
How should we live a life that shows love? We need to love each other, like Jesus loves us, this is His command
馬 太Matthew 22:37-40
耶穌對他說、你要盡心、盡性、盡意、愛主你的 神。這是誡命中的第一、且是最大的。其次也相仿、就是要愛人如己。 這兩條誡命、是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。
"'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

1. 尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主你的神 Loving God Whole Heartedly

2. 要过爱自己的生活 Loving yourself
通常,有很多时候基督徒认为爱己是大罪。认为厌恶自己才是圣洁的生活,所以总有厌恶自己的才错误的想法。我们要认识,我们有很多理由爱己。因为爱神就要要爱照着神的形象和样式造的自己。我们每个人就是按神的形象和样式创造的。所以,恨恶自己就是恨恶神的形象和样式所造的。所以不论自己长的好看还是难看都是神借着基督所造的新人,因为神将自己的形象和样式印在我们身上,所以我们不能恨恶神的形象和样式所造的自己。
Many Christians usually think that loving themselves is a sin. They think that only hating self is a holy life and they have a wrong mindset of hating themselves. We have to know that we have many reasons to love ourselves. Because loving God means loving what God created according to His image. We are all made according to His image and thus hating ourselves means hating God. So no matter how we look, we are all made new in Christ, because God has moulded us according to how He looks.
想想神的施恩,就是他的牺牲。经上说“神爱世人,甚至将他的独生儿子赐给我们”神的儿子耶稣被撕开,流宝血,所赐给的是多大的牺牲啊?圣经说耶稣是神的赎罪羊。主耶稣基督为了我们,被钉在十字架上流出了鲜血,代赎了我们的罪。神这样爱我,我要用神的爱要爱己,若是恨恶自己、虐待自己就是对神的爱背道而驰了。神说:“我们若认自己的罪,神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。”所以,要悔改,饶恕自己,不要恨恶自己。
Think of God's grace and His sacrifice. The bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus the son of God is pierced and bled for us, how great is this sacrifice? The bible says Jesus is the lamb of God. He was nailed for the cross for us and paid of our sins. This is how much God loves us, so we need to love God with His love, if we hate ourselves, then we are running away from God's love. God says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." So we need to repent and forgive ourselves.

學習鼓勵自己。夢想不會每次都按著我們的時間表成真。我們會遭遇失敗和逆境很容易消沈。有家人和朋友的鼓勵當然很好,牧師加油打氣 當然很好,但是別人無法使我們維持鬥志,他們可以鼓勵我們 推我們一把,但若真的要活出得勝生命 ,就必須從心裏發出鬥志。我們必須學習鼓勵自己。我們的心靈深處必須有堅定的決心和力量繼續往前。
Learn to encourage ourselves. Our dream will not always realise according to our own timing. We will face failures and obstacles. Sometimes encouragements from friends, family or pastor is good but they cannot sustain us for a long time. It is true that they can push us forward but if we want to live a life of victory, then we need to fight from the deep of our heart. We need to learn to encourage ourselves then we will have the conviction and strength to move forward.

3. 要爱邻舍 Love your neighbour as yourself
《创世纪》2:18说:“耶和华神说:“那人独居不好,我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。”
Genesis 2:18 says, "The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
《约翰一书》4:11节说:“亲爱的弟兄啊,神既是这样爱我们,我们也当彼此相爱。”
1 John 4:11 says, "Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."

要同情邻舍的难处,这样的生活才是爱邻舍的生活。真爱邻舍的人就会与邻舍对话,彼此交通。要在物质和精神两方面都去帮助。只有我自己吃的好,穿的好,住的好,不管邻舍的饥寒就不是爱。
Loving our neighour means to be compassionate about them. One that loves his or her neighbour would communicate with them and provide them both physically and emotionally. Ignoring the neighbour while one lives a well life is not love.

4. 要爱自然 Love the natural our planet
人类一开始被造,就要与自然共生存。神对亚当说:“你要在伊甸园治理这地。”伊甸园就是自然环境。人生活在地上就要治理自然环境,也要看守好自然环境。因为人与自然是同存活,如果践踏自然,破坏自然的话,人会与自然一同灭亡。堕落的人是不爱神、不爱自己、不爱邻舍、也不爱自然,破坏自然。

From the start of the creation of man, they are ought to live together with the natural. God said to Adam to govern the garden of Eden. Eden Garden is a natural place. Man living on the land are meant to govern the natural, as well as taking care of it. Man and the natural are depending on each other, if the natural were to be destroyed, then men too, will be destroyed. An ignorant person that does not love God, himself, neighbour and the natural is not in the favour of God.
人类以开发为名,胡乱破坏自然。河里许多的鱼群都死去,漂到河川散发出死鱼的臭腥味,人也被重金属污染,产生了许多先前没有的各种癌症和重病,性病。这就是与自然共灭亡。
In the name of development, man destroy the natural carelessly. Fishes in the sea are dead and human are also affected by the metal pollution, and as a result, there are a lot of cancers and illness. This is what is meant by man and natural are depended on each other. Man fall sick together with the natural.
