召会的堕落(二)敌基督者的原则、该隐的道路、巴兰的错谬、可拉的背叛、以及正路─真理的路与义路
Message Three The Degradation of the Church (2) The Principle of Antichrist, the Way of Cain, the Error of Balaam, and the Rebellion of Korah, and the Straight Way—the Way of the Truth and of Righteousness
 

  
读经:约壹二18,22,四3,约贰7,犹11,彼后二2,15,21,徒九2
Scripture Reading: 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 7; Jude 11; 2 Pet. 2:2, 15, 21; Acts 9:2
壹 
约壹二章十八节说,已经有好些敌基督的出来了;敌基督的有许多,这事实含示一个原则一敌基督者的原则:
First John 2:18 says that many antichrists have come; the fact that there have been many antichrists implies a principle, the principle of antichrist:
一 
约壹二章二十二节说到否认耶稣是基督,又说到否认父与子;这里给我们看见敌基督者的原则就是否认基督的所是:
First John 2:22 speaks of denying that Jesus is the Christ and also of denying the Father and the Son; here we see that the principle of antichrist is to deny what Christ is:
1 
一个人否认基督所是的某一方面,就使他在原则上成为敌基督的。
What makes a person an antichrist in principle is that he denies an aspect of what Christ is.
2 
否认基督是永远的父(赛九6),或否认祂是赐生命的灵(林前十五45下),乃是反对基督身位的这些方面;这样的否认乃是遵循敌基督者的原则。
To deny that Christ is the eternal Father (Isa. 9:6) or that He is the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) is to be anti these aspects of Christ's person; to make such a denial is to follow the principle of antichrist.
二 
希腊文的字首anti,安替,有两个意义─约壹四3,约贰7:
The Greek prefix anti has two meanings—1 John 4:3; 2 John 7:
1 
第一是反对,第二是顶替或代替。
First, it means "against"; second, it means "in place of" or "instead of."
2 
敌基督者一面是反对基督,另一面也是以一些事物代替基督,顶替基督。
To be an antichrist is to be against Christ and to have something instead of Christ, something that replaces Christ.
3 
敌基督者的原则是首先否认基督所是的一部分,然后以别的顶替基督。
The principle of antichrist is first to deny something of what Christ is and then to replace Christ with something else.
贰 
犹大书十一节说到该隐的道路、巴兰的错谬、以及可拉的背叛:
Jude 11 speaks of the way of Cain, the error of Balaam, and the rebellion of Korah:
一 
该隐的道路即随从己意事奉神的宗教道路,这异端的道路弃绝了神所要求、所命定血的救赎,且因神真实的子民对神忠信的见证,而照着肉体嫉妒他们─创四2~8:
The way of Cain is the way of serving God religiously according to one's own will, heretically rejecting the redemption by blood required and ordained by God, and according to the flesh envying God's true people because of their faithful testimony to God—Gen. 4:2-8:
1 
该隐没有凭着流血献祭(三21,来九22),借着预期的救赎,跟随神的救恩之路,却妄自将自己劳苦的果子献给神,继续人的堕落。
Cain did not follow the way of God's salvation through the anticipated re-demption by the bleeding sacrifice (3:21; Heb. 9:22) but continued man's fall by presumptuously offering the fruit of his own labor to God.
2 
该隐敬拜神的方式,乃是照着撒但所鼓动之属人的观念和意见,发明了一个宗教。
Cain's way of worshipping God was to invent a religion according to his human concept and opinion, which were motivated by Satan.
3 
历世历代以来,有无数的该隐跟从者,在各个时空,发明各自的宗教。
Throughout the centuries and generations there have been countless followers of Cain, people in every place and time who have invented their own reli-gion.
二 
巴兰是外邦的真申言者,不是假申言者,却是贪爱不义之工价的;这就是巴兰的路─彼后二15,民二二5,7,尼十三2,启二14:
Balaam was a genuine Gentile prophet, not a false one, but he loved the wages of unrighteousness; this is the way of Balaam—2 Pet. 2:15; Num. 22:5, 7; Neh. 13:2; Rev. 2:14:
1 
巴兰的错谬,指虽然明知与真理相背,且与神的子民敌对,仍然为着工价教导人错误的道理。
The error of Balaam was the error of teaching wrong doctrine for reward, while knowing it to be contrary to the truth and against the people of God.
2 
这错谬包括滥用某些恩赐的影响力,将神的子民从对主纯洁的敬拜,迷引到对偶像邪恶的敬拜─民二二7,21,三一16,启二14。
This error involves abusively using the influence of certain gifts to lead the people of God astray from the pure worship of the Lord to idolatrous wor-ship—Num. 22:7, 21; 31:16; Rev. 2:14.
3 
贪爱工价会叫人闯奔巴兰这样的错谬─犹11。
Coveting for reward will cause the coveting ones to rush headlong into the error of Balaam—Jude 11.
三 
犹大在十一节也说到那些在可拉的背叛中灭亡的人:
In verse 11 Jude also speaks of those who perished in the rebellion of Korah:
1 
十一节里背叛一辞,直译是顶撞,反对。
The Greek word translated "rebellion" in Jude 11 literally means "contradic-tion," "speaking against."
2 
可拉的背叛是背叛神行政中的代表权柄,以及神借着祂的代表(如摩西)所说的话,因而带来毁灭─民十六1~40。
The rebellion of Korah was a rebellion against God's deputy authority in His government and against His word spoken by His deputy (like Moses); this brings in destruction—Num. 16:1-40.
3 
神总是借着代表权柄说话;背叛这权柄和说话,原则上就是在可拉的背叛中。
God always speaks through a deputy authority; to rebel against this authority and speaking is, in principle, to be in the rebellion of Korah.
叁 
在主的恢复里,我们走正路─真理的路与义路─彼后二2,15,21:
In the Lord's recovery we take the straight way—the way of the truth and of righteousness—2 Pet. 2:2, 15, 21:
一 
走正路就是过正直的生活,没有弯曲偏斜,没有不义─15节。
To take the straight way is to live an upright life without crookedness and bias, without unrighteousness—v. 15.
二 
正路就是真理的路─2节:
The straight way is the way of the truth—v. 2:
1 
真理的路,即基督徒按着真理生活的途径;这真理乃是新约内容的实际─提前二4,三15。
The way of the truth is the path of the Christian life according to the truth, which is the reality of the contents of the New Testament—1 Tim. 2:4; 3:15.
2 
这道路有其他的名称:平安的路(路一79,罗三17)、救人的道路(徒十六17)、神的道路(太二二16,徒十八26)、以及主的道路(约一23,徒十八25)。
This way is designated by other titles: the way of peace (Luke 1:79; Rom. 3:17), the way of salvation (Acts 16:17), the way of God (Matt. 22:16; Acts 18:26), and the way of the Lord (John 1:23; Acts 18:25).
三 
正路就是义路─彼后二21:
The straight way is the way of righteousness—2 Pet. 2:21:
1 
义就是照着神公义严格的要求,在神面前与人事物都是对的─太五20。
Righteousness is to be right with persons, things, and matters before God according to His righteous and strict requirements—Matt. 5:20.
2 
义乃是那活在我们里面,作为那灵的基督外面的彰显─林后三8~9。
Righteousness is the outward expression of the Christ who lives in us as the Spirit—2 Cor. 3:8-9.
四 
正路就是“这道路”─徒九2,十九9,23,二二4,二四22:
The straight way is the Way—Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:22:
1 
这道路是指在神新约经纶里主完全的救恩。
The Way denotes the Lord's full salvation in God's New Testament economy.
2 
这道路就是神借着基督的救赎和那灵的涂抹,将祂自己分赐到信徒里面的路,就是信徒有份于神并享受神的路,就是信徒借着享受神而在灵里敬拜祂,并借着与受逼迫的耶稣是一而跟从祂的路,就是信徒被带进召会中,并被建造在基督的身体里,为耶稣作见证的路。
It is the way God dispenses Himself into the believers through Christ's redemption and the Spirit's anointing, the way the believers partake of God and enjoy God, the way the believers worship God in their spirit by enjoy-ing Him and follow the persecuted Jesus by being one with Him, and the way the believers are brought into the church and built up into the Body of Christ to bear the testimony of Jesus.
