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。 |
