第二章 墮落論

Section 3 The Power of Love, the Power of the Principle and God's Commandment
第三節 愛的力與原理的力及神的誡命

3.1 The Power of Love and the Power of the Principle in the Human Fall
（一）從愛的力與原理的力論墮落

Human beings are created through the Principle,
人是基於原理被創造的，
and they are meant to live according to the way of the Principle.
且被創造為按照原理軌道生存。
Therefore, it cannot be that the force inherent in the Principle would induce a person to deviate from the way of the Principle and cause him to fall.
所以，原理的力本身絕不會使人從原理軌道脫軌，而陷入墮落。
This may be compared to a train which cannot run off the track, unless, aside from a breakdown in the track or locomotive,
就好比火車自身不可能從軌道脫軌, 除非軌道或機器故障，
some outside force stronger than the train's forward momentum collides with it and pushes it in a different direction.
這火車受到比自身行駛力量更強的某種外力，從相異方向碰撞推開
Similarly, for human beings the force inherent in the Principle guides their growth in the proper direction.
同樣地, 對人類而言, 原理本身的力會導引他們往正確的方向成長.
But if some stronger force from a different direction and with an unprincipled purpose collides with them,
they will surely fall.
但是, 人若受到比自身成長所需的原理之力更強的某種力，以相異目的撞擊時，就必定會墮落。
The force which is stronger than the force of the Principle is none other than the power of love.
比原理之力更強的力，不是別的而正是愛的力。
While human beings are in the state of immaturity,
當人類處在未完成期時，
it is possible that the power of unprincipled love can induce them to fall.
是有可能因非原理之愛的力而陷入墮落的可能性。
Why is the power of love stronger than the power of the Principle?
為什麼愛的力比原理的力強大，
Why did God create it stronger, when this leaves open the possibility that the power of deviant love might collide with a person in the state of immaturity and cause him to fall?
為什麼神創造愛的力比較強, 以致於處在未完成期的人，碰到目的相異之愛的力時，具有陷入墮落的可能性呢？


According to the Principle of Creation,
根據創造原理，
God's love is the subject of all loves flowing within the four position foundation, which is established when its members have completed the three object purpose through their dynamic love for each other.
神的愛就是由三對象的愛，完成三對象目的四位基台之主體的愛。
Without God's love, there is no way to establish the true four position foundation;
倘若沒有神的愛，就無法建立四位基台，
without God's love, there is no way for us to fulfill the purpose for which we were created.
倘若沒有神的愛，就無法完成我們被創造的目的
Love is truly the source and wellspring of our life and happiness.
所以, 愛是人生命與幸福的源泉。

Although God created human beings based on the Principle, He governs us through love.
神雖然是基於原理而創造了人類, 但他卻是以通過愛來主管我們.
Accordingly, in order for love to fulfill its proper role,
所以，為了使愛要以像樣的愛來存在，
its power must be stronger than the power of the Principle.
愛的力絕對要比原理的力強大。
If the power of love were weaker than the power of the Principle,
假若，愛的力比原理的力弱，
God could not govern human beings through love;
神就無法用愛主管人，
rather, we would pursue the Principle more than the love of God.
因此，人將變成追求原理比追求神的愛更深。
For this reason, Jesus tried to raise his disciples with the truth, but it was his love that saved them.
因此, 耶穌藉著真理使門徒們站立，用愛來拯救他們，其理由即在此。


3.2 Why God Set Up the Commandment as an Object of Faith
（二）為信仰賜給誡命的目的
Why did God nurture the faith of Adam and Eve by giving them the commandment, "Do not eat of the fruit"?
為什麼神藉著給予亞當和夏娃「不可吃」的誡命賜而來培育亞當與夏娃呢？
In their immature state, Adam and Eve could not be directly governed by God through love.
在未完成期，亞當與夏娃無法受到神直接的愛的主管，
Because the power of love is stronger than the power of the Principle,
因為愛的力比原理的力強大，
God foresaw that if they ever formed a common base with the Archangel,
神已預知, 假使他們與天使長形成相對基準，
there was a possibility that they could succumb to the power of deviant, unprincipled love and fall.
就會有因目的相異之非原理愛的力陷入墮落的可能性。
To prevent this, God gave Adam and Eve the commandment that forbade them from relating with the Archangel in this way.
為了預防, 神給予亞當和夏娃誡命, 禁止他們與天使長形成這種關係
No matter how powerful the unprincipled love of the Archangel might be,
不管天使長非原理愛的力多麼強大，
had Adam and Eve adhered to God's commandment,
亞當與夏娃如果順從神的誡命，
forming a common base with God and engaging in give and take with Him and no other,
只與神造成相對基準做授受作用，
the power of the Archangel's unprincipled love would not have affected them and they would never have fallen.
那麼，此非原理的愛即無法作用，他們絕不可能陷入墮落。
Tragically, Adam and Eve did not obey the commandment,
悲慘的是，他們不遵守神的誡命，
but formed a common base with the Archangel and had give and take with him.
而與天使長造成相對基準做授受作用，
Hence, the power of illicit love pushed them off the track.
因此，不倫之愛的力使他們脫軌了。

It was not only to prevent their fall that God gave immature human beings the commandment.
對處在未完成期的人，給予如此誡命，並非僅是單純地要防止他們墮落。
God also wanted them to enjoy dominion over the natural world - including the angels - by inheriting His creative nature.
神也希望他們可以藉著繼承神創造性而享有統治包括天使在內的萬物世界的權力,
In order to inherit this creatorship,
為了繼承神的創造性,
human beings should perfect themselves through their faith in the Word as their own portion of responsibility.
人類應該把相信聖言當作自己本身的責任分擔，以自己的力量達到完成，
God gave the commandment not to the Archangel but only to the human beings.
神並不是將此誡命給予天使長，而是給予人，
God wished to exalt the dignity of human beings as bestowed by the Principle of Creation, which entitled them to stand as God's children and govern even the angels.
神想要使人建立起以神之子女的立場，連天使也要主管之創造原理的資格與威信

3.3 The Period During Which the Commandment Was Necessary
（三）為信仰的誡命所需的期間
Was God's commandment not to eat of the fruit binding forever?
神對人類始祖所說「不可吃」之信仰的誡命，需要遵守到何時？
God's second blessing was to be fulfilled when Adam and Eve entered God's direct dominion of love,
神第二祝福的完成，是指亞當和夏娃進入到神愛的直接主管。
by joining as true husband and wife and bearing and raising children in God's love.46(Gen. 1:28)CEV|KJ|NI
亞當與夏娃在神的愛中，結合為真實的夫婦，生育子女（創一．２８），
Indeed, the Principle mandates that human beings eat of the fruit once they reach full maturity of character.
當然，一旦人個性完成後，「吃」即是合乎原理的行為。

The power of love is stronger than the power of the Principle.
因為愛的力比原理的力強大，
Had Adam and Eve reached perfection, become a godly husband and wife,
假如亞當與夏娃完成後，成為以神為中心的夫婦，
and experienced God's direct governance by the absolute power of His love,
經驗到神以絕對之愛的直接主管，
their conjugal love would have become absolute.
那麼他們夫婦的愛也會成為絕對,
No person, no power in the universe could ever break that bond of love.
在宇宙中沒有任何人, 任何力量能夠切斷他們深緊密連結的愛.
At this point, Adam and Eve would never fall.
這時候, 亞當和夏娃是絕對不會墮落的.
There would have been no way that the love of the Archangel, who is inferior to human beings, could ever have severed the conjugal love of Adam and Eve once it was grounded firmly in God.
比人低級的天使長之愛的力，絕無法切斷他們以神為中心的夫婦愛。
Accordingly, God's commandment, "Do not eat of the fruit," was binding upon Adam and Eve only while they were immature.
因此，神「不可吃」的誡命，是僅限於亞當與夏娃尚未完成期所需而已。
