创世记——第三章

约拿

创世记第三章： 3:1 耶和华　神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇对女人说：“　神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗？” 3:2 女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们可以吃； 3:3 惟有园当中那棵树上的果子，　神曾说：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’” 3:4 蛇对女人说：“你们不一定死， 3:5 因为　神知道，你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如　神能知道善恶。” 3:6 于是，女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，也悦人的眼目，且是可喜爱的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了；又给她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。 3:7 他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露体，便拿无花果树的叶子，为自己编做裙子。 3:8 天起了凉风，耶和华　神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见　神的声音，就藏在园里的树木中，躲避耶和华　神的面。 3:9 耶和华　神呼唤那人，对他说：“你在哪里？” 3:10 他说：“我在园中听见你的声音，我就害怕，因为我赤身露体，我便藏了。” 3:11 耶和华说：“谁告诉你赤身露体呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？” 3:12 那人说：“你所赐给我、与我同居的女人，她把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。” 3:13 耶和华　神对女人说：“你做的是甚么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。” 3:14 耶和华　神对蛇说：“你既做了这事，就必受咒诅，比一切的牲畜野兽更甚；你必用肚子行走，终身吃土。 3:15 我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇；你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。女人的后裔要伤你的头；你要伤他的脚跟。” 3:16 又对女人说：“我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚，你生产儿女必多受苦楚。你必恋慕你丈夫，你丈夫必管辖你。” 3:17 又对亚当说：“你既听从妻子的话，吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子，地必为你的缘故受咒诅。你必终身劳苦，才能从地里得吃的。 3:18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来，你也要吃田间的菜蔬。 3:19 你必汗流满面才得□口，直到你归了土，因为你是从土而出的。你本是尘土，仍要归于尘土。” 3:20 亚当给他妻子起名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。 3:21 耶和华　神为亚当和他妻子用皮子做衣服，给他们穿。 3:22 耶和华　神说：“那人已经与我们相似，能知道善恶。现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃，就永远活著。” 3:23 耶和华　神便打发他出伊甸园去，耕种他所自出之土。 3:24 于是把他赶出去了。又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯，和四面转动发火焰的剑，要把守生命树的道路。

二．诱惑与堕落（三）

　　三1～6 向夏娃显现的那蛇，其后揭示正是撒但自己（参看启一二9）。那些力求把圣经非神话化的人相信，始祖堕落的描述是寓言，不是真实的事。他们质疑会讲话的蛇作论据。人能否接受蛇诱惑夏娃的故事是事实呢？使徒保罗认为能够（林后—一13），使徒约翰也一样（启一二9；二Ｏ2）。蛇不是圣经中唯一会说话的动物，神叫巴兰的驴开口制止巴兰发难（民二二）。使徒彼得相信这是事实（彼后二16）。这三位使徒受圣灵感动；写出事实。因此；否定始祖堕落的事实；就是否定圣经是由圣灵默示写成的。圣经中有寓言，但蛇诱惑夏娃并非其一。

　　注意罪闯进人类世界的步骤。首先撤但巧妙地使人质疑神的话：“神岂是真说？”他谬说神禁止亚当夏娃吃园中所有树上的果子。跟着，夏娃说园当中那棵树上的果子，他们不可吃，也不可摸，但神从没有说过不可模那树。然后，撒但断然抗拒神的话——叛逆的人必然承受审判，一如他的跟随者依然否定有地狱和永远刑罚的事实。撒但谬说神要保留美好的东西，不给亚当夏娃。

　　夏娃向三重诱惑屈服：肉体的情欲（果子好作食物），眼目的情欲（悦人的眼目）和今生的骄傲（吃了能使人有智慧）。她这样做，离开自己的头——亚当，独自行事。她本来应该询问亚当，而不是篡夺他的权力。她“摘下了果子来吃了”一句，解释自那时开始缠绕人类的一切疾病、忧伤、苦难、惶恐、罪咎和死亡。有人说：“大地的毁坏和千千万万坟墓证明神是真实的，撒但是骗子。”夏娃被引诱（提前二14），但亚当表现任性，刻意与神对立。今天，世俗人文主义者仍持着撒但的谎言：“你们便如神。”

　　三7～13 犯罪的第一个结果是感到羞耻和恐惧。利用无花果树的叶子编作裙子说明人的宗教尝试以不用流血赎罪，只须做善事来挽救自己。当罪人要向神解释的时候，就替自己找借借口。亚当抵赖神说：“你所赐给我，与我同居的女人……”（参看箴一九3）夏娃说：“那蛇……”（13节）

　　神对他所造的人类充满慈爱和怜悯，他们堕落了，神找寻他们时问：“你在那里？”这个问题证明两件事——人堕落，神来寻找他们；这正好查证人的罪和神的恩典……神主动的拯救，证明了那件撤但要夏娃疑惑的事——神的爱是真实的。

　　三14 耶和华神咒诅蛇，要它降格，受耻辱和被击败。事实上，蛇受的咒诅比一切的牲畜或野兽更甚，表示这里指着的是爬行类而不是撒但。

　　三15 但本节却转向魔鬼本身。这节经文称为Protevangelium，意即“首卷福音”，预言撒但和女人（代表全人类）；撒但的后裔（它的代表）和女人的后裔（弥赛亚）彼此永远为仇，女人的后裔要伤撒但的头——一次致命的伤口意味着彻底的击败。这个伤口在各各他山上发生了，就是当救主决胜撒但，撒但反过来要伤弥赛亚的脚跟。这里脚跟的伤口代表苦难，甚至是肉体的死亡，而不是最终的击败。因此，基督在十字架上受苦，甚至死亡。但他从死里复活，胜过罪、地狱和撒旦。他被称为女人的后裔这个事实预告他从童女而生。注意，神满有慈爱，在下列经文的宣告之前，神应许弥赛亚的降世。

　　三16～19 罪带来无可避免的后果。女人要受生产之苦，要受她丈夫的管辖。男人要从地里得吃，地却受了咒诅，长出荆棘和蒺藜。他要终身劳苦、汗流满面。然后到人生终点时，他自己要归于尘土。我们必须留意，这里工作本身不是咒诅，而是与工作有关的忧伤、劳苦、挫折、汗水和疲累才是咒诅。

　　三20～21 亚当给妻子起名叫夏娃……众生之母。这是显出他的信心。接着，神透过一头动物的死，为亚当夏娃用皮子作衣服。这预表神的羔羊要流血，好为犯罪的罪人披上公义之袍，凡相信的，就能得着。

　　三22～24 撤但的谎话有隐藏事实之处，就是夏娃会似神（5节）。但她和亚当经历了艰苦才能分辨善恶，假如他们吃了生命树的果于，就会永远活着，受疾病、衰退和虚弱之苦。因此，神有怜悯，断绝了他们返回伊甸园的路。基路伯是天上的活物，功用是“维护神的圣洁，免受堕落人类自以为是的傲慢的侵犯。”

　　亚当和夏娃必须定断究竟是神还是撒但在撒谎，他们认为是神。“人非有信，就不能得神的喜悦”因此，希伯来书第十一章的“信心殿堂”里缺了他们的名宇。

　　伊甸园的理想环境没有阻止罪的进入；一个有利的环境并非人类问题的答案，耶稣基督才是人类终极的盼望！

本章的听写英文内容如下：

Genesis 3 The Fall of Man ¹ Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" ² The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, ³ but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' " ⁴ "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. ⁵ "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." ⁶ When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. ⁷ Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. ⁸ Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. ⁹ But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" ¹⁰ He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." ¹¹ And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" ¹² The man said, "The woman you put here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." ¹³ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." ¹⁴ So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. ¹⁵ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring ^[1] and hers; he will crush ^[2] your head, and you will strike his heel." ¹⁶ To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." ¹⁷ To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. ¹⁸ It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. ¹⁹ By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." ²⁰ Adam ^[3] named his wife Eve, ^[4] because she would become the mother of all the living. ²¹ The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. ²² And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." ²³ So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. ²⁴ After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side ^[5] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

我发现这一章所包含的信息量实在太大了！要分成许多个讲章，花费至少三个月的时间才能对其讲出一点皮毛的东西来。

晚上灵修时间我再继续大概地说几句。

我一直搞不懂的是：撒旦是哪里来的？神创造的还是和神平等的（这里指来源）？还有神为什么总是说“我们”，而不是“我”？有的解释说是因为神是“三位一体”的神。但是我还想问，在创世纪初，哪里会有圣子的概念呀？
