IDOLATRY

偶像崇拜

We are all born idolators.

Thomas Adams

我們生而為崇拜偶像者。

Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.

John Calvin

人的頭腦就像一個裝滿偶像及迷信的倉庫;多到以致於一個人如果相信自己的想法,就一定會離棄上帝並在腦子裡塑造一些偶像。

Idolatry is anything which cooleth thy desires after Christ.

Oliver Cromwell

任何會讓我們追求基督的心變得冷淡的就是偶像。

Idols are called lies because they belie God, as if he had a body, whereas he is a spirit.

Matthew Henry

偶像被稱為謊言,因為它們否定了上帝,彷彿祂擁有身體一般,然而祂乃是靈。

A made God is no God.

Matthew Henry

一個被造的上帝就不是上帝。

When we invent our own idea of God, we simply create him in our own image.

Kenneth F. W. Prior

當我們創造自己的上帝觀念時,就是在按照我們自己的形象創造祂。

Anything above God is idolatry.

Richard Sibbes

任何被視為高過上帝的都是偶像。

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

A. W. Tozer

心中的偶像與手上的偶像同樣是上帝厭惡的。

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of him.

A. W. Tozer

偶像崇拜的本質是關於上帝的思想遊戲,這遊戲對上帝而言根本不值一提。

God made man of the dust of the earth and man makes a god of the dust of the earth.

Thomas Watson

上帝用塵土造人而人卻用塵土造了一個神。
