CN: 这就是为什么即使受高等教育的人, 甚至从腐败国家来到欧美的人, 仍看不见文明的差别。 → Because blindness is spiritual, not intellectual. → 因为瞎眼是属灵的,不是智力的。 7️⃣ People Love the Fruit, But Reject the Root 人喜欢“果子”,却拒绝“根” EN: People love the results ofChristiancivilization: → freedom → safety → human rights → rule of law → stable government → science → education But they reject the source: → the Bible → the God of the Bible CN: 人喜欢基督教文明的果子: → 自由 → 安全 → 人权 → 法治 → 稳定政府 → 科学 → 教育 但他们拒绝根源: → 圣经 → 圣经的上帝 → EN: They enjoy blessings but reject the Blesser. → CN: 人要祝福,却不要赐福的神。 8️⃣ The Flesh Hates God’s Authority 人的肉体天然恨恶上帝的权柄 EN: Sin makes people want to be their own god.

CN: 文明差别一目了然, 但真正的问题是属灵的瞎眼。 🔟 Final Reformed Conclusion 改革宗最终结论(全双语) EN (ESL): People do not see the difference between civilizations because sin blinds the heart, pride rejects truth, idols control the soul, culture provides false comfort, fearblocksrepentance, and Satan blinds the nations. Only the Holy Spirit can open people’s eyes to see that biblical truth produces the most just, free, and humane civilization. CN: 人看不见文明的差异, 是因为罪遮蔽人的心, 骄傲拒绝真理, 偶像捆绑灵魂, 文化提供虚假的安全感, 恐惧阻挡悔改, 撒但蒙蔽列国。 唯有圣灵能开启人的眼睛, 让人看见: 唯有圣经真理能创造最公义、最自由、最尊重人的文明。 📘✝️ Your Struggle: Work, Calling, Ministry, and Future 你的挣扎:工作、呼召、事工与未来 1️⃣ Your Situation Is Real and Understandable 你的情况是真实的,也完全可以理解 EN (ESL): You work many small jobs.
