明亮之星，早晨之子啊，你何竟從天墜落？你這攻敗列國的何竟被砍倒在地上？你心裡曾說：我要升到天上；我要高舉我的寶座在神眾星以上；我要坐在聚會的山上，在北方的極處。我要升到高雲之上；我要與至上者同等。《以賽亞書》14:12-14
聖經說魔鬼是墮落的天使 ，是跟隨撒旦背叛了神的天使。
有人問：既然魔鬼是受造物，神為甚麽不把它一指頭搯死？
我想，神要消滅魔鬼容易，要消滅它的根源就難了。
因為它的根源是嫉妒。
只要神容許衪的受造物有自由意志，就會有嫉妒的滋生。
「嫉妒」的英文同義字 ENVY 同樣也解作 「羨慕」。
羨慕和嫉妒是一對孖生兒，它們卻各走極端…
一個推動繁華倡盛，一個卻招引毀滅和死亡。
嫉和妒兩個字都從「女」字。
中國造字的老祖宗把嫉妒和女性拉上了等號。
其實，男人的嫉妒心絕對不會輸給女人！
梁兄有感而發？
ReplyDelete其實，男人的嫉妒心絕對不會輸給女人！Well said.
ReplyDeleteA more common Englsh translation for 嫉妒 is "Jealousy".
Jealousy is perhaps the most powerful, negative and destructive word; extreme opposit of Love, Compassion and Forgiveness.
Jealousy, almost without exception, leads one to inflict all possible injury to others, i.e. Vengeance.
Vengeance leads to total destruction of others as well as to oneself.
Jealousy and Vengeance destroy good relationships amongst relatives, friends, societies, churches and nations.
It is worse than CANCER!!!
The only cure is to Forgive through Compassion and LOVE as taught in the Bible. Admit we are all sinners alike. Our Saviour Jesus taught us to pray: "...forgive our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us. Lead us not into tempation but deliver us from evil [especially jealousy and vengeance...]
May God have mercy on us and help us to forgive others who have sinned against us so that we would receive Your blessings for peace and joy.
Praise the Lord Jesus, our Savior.
