是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

關於論斷人，在網路上流傳著一個小故事：

有一位老人，近視很深，自誇是藝術批評家。有一天，他和妻子以及幾位朋友前往藝術館參觀，照例一面觀賞，一面大加批評。那一次他因匆促，出門時忘記帶眼鏡。當他經過一個大鏡框前面，他就站在那裏觀看，立即批評說：“這幅人像是誰畫的，面目不太美術，眉、眼、口、鼻極不協調，真是一副醜臉啊！”老人絮絮不休。妻子趕快走到他旁邊，附耳小聲地說：“你是站在鏡子前面，那人像是你自己的。”老人大吃一驚，羞愧非常。我們要學習不論斷人，免得被人論斷。你這論斷人的，無論你是誰，也無可推諉。你在甚麼事上論斷人，就在甚麼事上定自己的罪；因你這論斷人的，自己所行卻和別人一樣。

常常人會因著自我價值與成長經驗來確立自己面對的問題或是人的問題
自以為是的有色眼鏡帶在身上
看見的絕對會是相同的顏色與視野

約伯的朋友以利法正是以這樣的眼光看待約伯的經歷
以其自身的經驗推論著約伯的各種可能的罪證
但往往推論出來的結果正是自己所面對的問題
特別是對於他人的罪狀所導致的問題正是如此

我們在教會與生活中是否也常常帶著有色的眼光來看待其他的人事物呢
自以為是的信仰經驗往往讓教會陷入一團混亂

因為我的教會經驗是如此
所以跟我不同的做法都是行不通的

有時候混亂來自於教會中的你我
但你我卻不自知
還因此跟眾人爭得面紅耳赤
在非真理的爭論中推究真理
在錯誤的爭論中錯上加錯

在判斷一件事的原委之前，
請先看看聖經的教導為何？
才不至於讓判斷變成論斷！






約伯記

22:1 提幔人以利法回答說：
Then Eli'phaz the Te'manite answered:
22:2 人豈能使　神有益呢？智慧人但能有益於己。
"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
22:3 你為人公義，豈叫全能者喜悅呢？你行為完全，豈能使他得利呢？
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless?
22:4 豈是因你敬畏他就責備你、審判你嗎？
Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you, and enters into judgment with you?
22:5 你的罪惡豈不是大嗎？你的罪孽也沒有窮盡；
Is not your wickedness great? There is no end to your iniquities.
22:6 因你無故強取弟兄的物為當頭，剝去貧寒人的衣服。
For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7 困乏的人，你沒有給他水喝；飢餓的人，你沒有給他食物。
You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
22:8 有能力的人就得地土；尊貴的人也住在其中。
The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man dwelt in it.
22:9 你打發寡婦空手回去，折斷孤兒的膀臂。
You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
22:10 因此，有網羅環繞你，有恐懼忽然使你驚惶；
Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden terror overwhelms you;
22:11 或有黑暗蒙蔽你，並有洪水淹沒你。
your light is darkened, so that you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
22:12 　神豈不是在高天嗎？你看星宿何其高呢！
"Is not God high in the heavens? See the highest stars, how lofty they are!
22:13 你說：　神知道甚麼？他豈能看透幽暗施行審判呢？
Therefore you say, `What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness?
22:14 密雲將他遮蓋，使他不能看見；他周遊穹蒼。
Thick clouds enwrap him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.'
22:15 你要依從上古的道嗎？這道是惡人所行的。
Will you keep to the old way which wicked men have trod?
22:16 他們未到死期，忽然除滅；根基毀壞，好像被江河沖去。
They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away.
22:17 他們向　神說：離開我們吧！又說：全能者能把我們怎麼樣呢？
They said to God, `Depart from us,' and `What can the Almighty do to us?'
22:18 哪知　神以美物充滿他們的房屋；但惡人所謀定的離我好遠。
Yet he filled their houses with good things -- but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
22:19 義人看見他們的結局就歡喜；無辜的人嗤笑他們，
The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent laugh them to scorn,
22:20 說：那起來攻擊我們的果然被剪除，其餘的都被火燒滅。
saying, `Surely our adversaries are cut off, and what they left the fire has consumed.'
