MAN - A Sinner 人

Man was made to dwell in a garden, but his sin has turned it into a wilderness.

Matthew Henry

人受造居住在一個花園裡面，但他的罪卻讓這花園變成荒原。

The Bible does not picture man as a risen creature but as a fallen one.

Karl Barth

聖經沒有將人描繪成進步的受造物，而是墮落者。

Civilized man is psychologically sick, and the more cultured and civilized he becomes, the more sick he will be, for modern man is seeking to feel at home in the world without any reference to God.

Akbar Abdul-Haqq

文明人是心理有病的人，他越變得文明就病得越厲害，因為文明人就是嘗試不與上帝有任何關連，而在這個世界上覺得自由自在、無拘無束。

Modern man wants to be treated as an invalid rather than a sinner.

Eric Alexander

現代人寧可被視為傷殘的人也不願意被視為罪人。

Man is a good thing spoiled.

Augustine

人是變壞的好東西。

The natural man's affections are wretchedly misplace; he is a spiritual monster. His heart is where his feet should be, fixed on earth; his heels are lifted up against heaven, where his heart should be set.

Thomas Boston

人天生的喜愛被悲慘的誤置了；他成了屬靈的怪獸。他的心放在原本雙腳應該放置的地方，是緊附著地上；而他的腳跟卻指向那應該放置他的心的天上。

The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small but that he is sinful.

Os Guinness

人類進退兩難不在於他是誰，而是他做了些甚麼。他的困境不是因為他微小，而是因為他是罪人。

Everything man touches he perverts.

Philip E. Hughes

凡是人接觸到的東西，他都會使之變質。

The history of man is his attempt to escape his own corruption.

Daniel Mullis

人類歷史是人們要逃脫自己敗壞的嘗試。

Sin has so degraded man that from what he is now we can form no conception of what he was meant to be.

Andrew Murray

罪惡使人如此墮落，以致於我們無法從人們現在的樣式想像人們曾有的樣式。

Men may be changed by divine grace, but man is unchanged.

William S. Plumer

人類雖然蒙神恩改變。但是人性卻絲毫未變。

Any natural man, he is iron to God and wax to the devil.

Richard Sibbes

任何天生人類，對上帝像一塊鋼鐵，對魔鬼卻像一塊蠟。

Man is a skin-encapsulated ego.

Alan Watts

人是包裹一層皮的老我。
