葛福臨回應民主黨的“去上帝”化
翻譯與評論 | William Shao 狄鉑娜 北美動態專稿
著名布道家葛培理的兒子和接班人葛福臨（Franklin Graham）牧師，8月20日在他的臉書facebook上寫道（鏈接https://www.facebook.com/FranklinGraham）： 我在電視上看了本周民主黨的全國大會，我注意到上帝從他們的話語中消失。我決不相信，從政府和民眾的生活剷除上帝后，美國還有美好的明天。按照上帝設立的標準生活，我們才能長治久安。 是上帝說的：“不可殺人。” 是上帝說的：“不可偷竊。” 是上帝說的：“不可姦淫。” 是上帝說的：“當孝敬父母” 是上帝說的：“當紀念安息日，守為聖日。” 是上帝說的：“不可作假見證，陷害你的鄰居。” 是上帝說的：“不可枉稱（濫用）上帝的名，枉稱我名的，我必定罪。” 是上帝說的：“不可貪戀你鄰舍的房子。不可貪戀你鄰舍的妻子、僕婢，牲口或一切東西。” 是上帝說的：“除我以外，你不可有其他神。” 是上帝說的：“不可為自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什麼形像彷佛上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉他，因為我耶和華你的神是忌邪的神。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。” 上帝創造了我們，創造了我們賴以生存的地球。我們以為自己是誰？竟敢拋開上帝另立法則？我們以為自己是誰，竟敢將上帝逐出？正如（著名黑人牧師）托尼·埃文斯（TonyEvans）博士所說：“當一個曾經敬拜上帝的國家，拋棄上帝時，惡果將至。” 對個人、對國家，都是如此。
In
watching some of the Democratic National Convention on television this
week, it has been interesting to see the absence of God. I don’t believe
America’s finest hours will be in front of us if we take God out of
government and public life. It is God who set the standards we are to
live by.It is God who said, “You shall not murder.”It is God who said, “You shall not steal.”It is God who said, “You shall not commit adultery.”It is God who said, “Honor your father and your mother”It is God who said, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”It is God who said, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”It
is God who said, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in
vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in
vain.”It
is God who said, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall
not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female
servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your
neighbor’s.”It is God who said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.”It
is God who said, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any
likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bowdown
to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous
God,visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third
and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to
thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”God
created us and this earth we live on. Who do we think we are to try to
rewrite the rules and run things apart from Him? Who do we think we are
to try to take Him out of everything? As Dr. Tony Evans said, “When One
Nation Under God becomes One Nation Apart from God, expect the
consequences.” That’s true in our individual lives and for our nation.
北美動態記者狄鉑娜評論： 近些年，民主黨一方面有意識地從公共平台除去基督耶穌及其對美國的影響，倡導上帝恨惡的罪行（如踐踏法律、鼓勵打砸搶、鼓勵變性和淫亂等），一方面積極地引進其它宗教和神明，尤其是穆教。 在奧巴馬掌政期間，為了討好在白宮工作的穆斯林，他命令每天的五次伊斯蘭祈禱時段，必須保持靜黙。奧巴馬還在白宮的多處鋪上祈禱地毯和新月標誌，把白宮布置成穆斯林的場所（參1）。 川普就任總統後，馬上除去白宮裡穆斯林的標誌，並且重申美國是由基督徒建立的，是建立在基督教道德的基礎上的。所有的異教標識，除非具有歷史意義，必須從政府建築物中除去。 而民主黨總統候選人拜登，上個月在穆斯林選民峰會上說：“我希望我們在（美國的公立）學校里教導更多有關伊斯蘭信仰的內容”（參2）。 美國境內目前已經有九百萬穆斯林，穆斯林生育率高。縱觀歷史，橫看世界，穆斯林人口增長到一定的比例，他們就會強迫所居的社會實行穆斯林法，社會就徹底穆斯林化了。請關注一下世界各地穆斯林的恐怖破壞活動，你希望美國變成穆斯林主導國嗎？你覺得奧巴馬、拜登和民主黨愛美國嗎？ 參考資料
