Seeking truth 心的挣扎 22 人类与神
human and god


但 自 在 脱 就 却 不 这 已 浪 
是 由 蓝 了 像 无 愿 是 不 迹
无 一 蓝 线 一 处 归 一 属 天
目 一 的 的 支 归 还 群 于 涯
的 一 天 风 支 宿 一 忘 中 的
地 一 上 筝 一 的 一 却 国 中
飞 一 一 一 一 群 一 来 一 国
翔 一 一 一 一 体 一 处 一 人
不归人 (A person who will not return)



如果宇宙与人类是由一位神所创造的,我们称他为上帝。那么这位上帝的神力是远远超出人类的智力所可 达及,甚至可以理解的。


我们看到蚂蚁每天在草丛中忙碌,他们的活动空间就是小草、小石头、和小洞,他们看小草就像人们看到大树林一样。他们的活动空间比之于人类的城市、海洋、天空实在是太小了。

如果有一只特别聪明的蚂蚁要想了解人的思想、政治和艺术,没有人会认为这是可能的。

但是用人们的活动空间去比之于太阳、太阳系、宇宙,那要比蚂蚁跟人相比可怜多了。地球在宇宙中的比例几乎等于零,而人类只是生活在这个小小地球的表面薄壳上,人能够想象创造这个宏大宇宙的上帝的力量和智慧吗?  

人要了解上帝并不比蚂蚁要想了解人类更有可能性,用人类的智慧和经验去描述或解说上帝很可能会得到可笑的结果。

有些基督教徒将自己的一切活动结果都归之于上帝的意志,他们认为开车的安全,考试的成败, 生死老病等等都是上帝干预的结果。如果真是这样,那么这些灾难就应该主要发生在不信教的人身上, 事实并非如此,上帝没有这么做。

如果上帝真的将所有的好事都给基督教徒,将所有的坏事都给非基督教徒,那么世界上每一个人都会争着去信基督教了。这时候上帝只有两种选释,一是接受所有的人,那么世界就变成了只有好事的天堂,我们根本无法想象那个世界的样子。二是只选释一部分人进教,那么进教将比争当百万富翁,共产党的大官还要难。最后只留下无能儿,被拒绝在上帝的门外,那才是真正可怜呢?谢天谢地,上帝比我们智慧亿万倍,没有让世界变成那个样子,给这世不快乐的人一丝希望。

所以,如果说上帝在干预和控制人类的历史进程、宗教信仰、科学研究、政治活动、乃至个人的喜怒悲乐,那么他的干预方式也是人们无法理解的。基督的故事,人类的历史,以及我们每天的活动都在告诉我们,上帝如果不是在用一个人类根本无法理解的逻辑在干预人类的活动,就是根本未曾干预人类。












If humans and the universe were created by one God and we call Him God, then the powers of this God are far beyond being reached by human beings' intelligence and understanding.

Ants are busy every day in the grasses, and their activities space is just the grasses, small stones and tiny holes. Grasses to their eyes seem like a big forest. Compared with human's cities, oceans and skies, their space is indeed too small.

If there was a typically smart ant which wants to understand the ideologies, politics and arts of human beings, then no one thinks that would be possible.


It is not more possible for human to understand the God than ants to understand humans. If humans describe or explain the God with their own wisdoms and experience, then, most likely, they will receive a funny result. When humans explain the God's behaviors, usually they exaggerate their own ratio and importance in the universe, and, also tend to attribute their method of thoughts to the God, just like ants, that when they try to understand humans, they will, easily, tend to attribute the essentiality of their nests and foods to humans, which is ridiculous.

Some believers attribute all of their activities to the God's will, for example, they consider the safety of driving, the success or failures of examinations, being born, getting old and sick and dying, the intervention arrangements by God. If this is the case, then disasters will never happen to unbelievers. However, that is not the reality, so, what is going on?

If  God gave all the good things to His believers and all the bad things to unbelievers, then everyone in the world would  all rush to become a believer. Then God will only have two choices,  on one hand, He will accept all humans, then the world will become a heaven which is somewhere only good things happen, which we can't imagine what it looks like. On the other hand, God chooses part of the people to become the believers, and in such a situation, becoming a believer will seem to be more challenging than to become a millionaire and high-ranking official. At last, only those who are incapable are singled out and refused to enter the God's door through such a screening. The cruelty of being abandoned by God is more brutal than being punished by any human government and court decisions, because it means that there is no more hope,  that is the final ruling. Thanks God!  God is a trillion times more intelligent than us, that He didn't make the world become like that, leaving those who are unhappy this life some right to hope for a better life next life. 

So, if we say that God interferes and controls the process of human history, religions, scientific investigations, political activities, even joy, anger and sadness of individual human beings, then the way he uses to interfere human beings must not be able to understand. The story of Jesus Christ, the history of humanity and all kinds of our daily activities are telling us that, if God is not using a logic which is so hard to be understood to interfere in human beings' activities, then He hasn't  done anything to intervene them.
