What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion.
What if I told you voting Republican, really wasn’t His mission.
What if I told you Republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian
and just because you call some people blind, doesn’t automatically give you vision.
I mean if religion is so great, why has it started so many wars?
Why does it build huge churches, but fail to feed the poor?
Tell single moms God doesn’t love them if they have ever had a divorce,
but in the old testament, God actually calls religious people whores.
如果我告诉你耶稣来是废除宗教？
如果我告诉你投票给共和党并不是祂的使命？
如果我告诉你共和党人并不就是基督徒？
仅仅因为说别人眼瞎并不给你看见。
如果宗教那么好，为什么带来那么多的战争？
为什么建造了巨大的教堂，却不能喂饱穷人？
指责单亲母亲神不爱她们，因为她们曾离过婚；
然而在旧约里，神却称宗教人士为淫乱之人。
Religion might preach grace, but another thing they practice.
Tend to ridicule God’s people, they did it to John the Baptist.
They can’t fix their problems and so they mask it,
without realising it’s like spraying perfume on a casket.
See the problem with religion, is that it never gets to the core.
It’s just behaviour modification like a long list of chores.
Like let’s dress up the outside to make it look nice and neat,
but that’s funny coz that’s what they used to do to mummies while the corpse rots underneath.
Now I ain’t judging, I’m just saying, quit putting on a fake look.
Coz it’s a problem if people only know you’re a Christian through your Facebook.
I mean in every other aspect of life, you know that logic’s are worthy.
It’s like saying you play for the Lakers, just because you bought their jersey.
See this was me too, but no one seemed to be on to me.
Acting like a church kid, but addicted to pornography.
See on Sunday I’d go to church but Saturday getting faded,
acting like I was simply created to have sex and get wasted.
See I spent my whole life building this facade of neatness,
But now that I know Jesus, I boost in my weakness.
宗教可能宣扬恩典，但他们所做的
却是嘲笑神的子民，就像他们对待施洗约翰。
无法解决自己的问题，就掩饰遮盖
却不知宗教就是像在棺材上喷洒香料。
你看，宗教的问题是它无法深入实质；
只是改善行为，是一系列要做的事情。
装潢外表，打扮的整洁光鲜
却像装饰的木乃伊，里面却是腐烂的尸体
我不是在论断，我只是说不要戴上面具。
如果人们只是从你的面书（Facebook）知道你是基督徒，那就有些问题。
在生命别的方面，你知道那是徒然；
就像你因为买件湖人队的队服就号称你是它的队员。
你看，我以前也这样，但没人对我的信仰感兴趣。
装着像个教会的孩子，却迷恋上色情的东西。
周日我去教会敬拜，周六却酩酊大醉；
好像我被造就是为了性交和烂醉。
我化了一生的功夫建造一个整洁的外表。
但现在我认识了耶稣，软弱是我的夸耀。
Because of Grace is like water, then the church should be an ocean.
It’s not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for broken.
Which means I don’t have to hide my failure I don’t have to hide my sin,
because it doesn’t depend on me, it depends on him.
See when I was God’s enemy, and certainly not a fan,
He looked down on and said “I want that man”.
Which is why Jesus hated religion and forty he called them fools.
如果恩典像水，那教会就像汪洋。
它不是善男善女的处所，而是受伤人的医院。
我不需要遮盖自己的失败，我不需要掩饰我的过犯。
因为得救不是在我，而是在乎祂的公义。
因为当我还与神为敌，绝对不是祂的粉丝的时候，
祂就俯视大地，施恩捡选了我。
这就是为什么耶稣痛恨宗教，并把他们称为愚拙。
Don’t you see so much better, then just following some rules?
Let me clarify, I love the church I love the bible and yes I believe in sin.
But if Jesus came to your church, would they actually let him in?
See he was called a glutton and a drunkard by religious man,
but the son of God never supported self-righteousness, not now, not then.
Now back to the point, one thing is vital to mention,
how Jesus and religion, are on opposite spectrums.
See one’s the work of God, and one’s a man-made invention.
See one is the cure, the other’s an infection.
Religion says do,
Jesus says done.
Religion says slave,
Jesus says son.
Religion puts you in bondage, Jesus sets you free.
Religion makes you blind, Jesus makes you see.
That’s why religion and Jesus, are two different clans.
难道恩典不比格守清规戒律好的很多很多？
请让我澄清，我爱教会，我爱圣经；是的，我也相信有罪。
但如果耶稣到你的教会，他们会不会让祂进门？
别忘了，祂曾被宗教领袖称为贪吃好酒的罪人。
但神的儿子从来没有赞赏过自义，现在没有，过去也不曾。
让我回到要点，有一件事必须呈明
就是耶稣和宗教乃是频谱的两极
一个是神的工作，一个是人的发明
一个是医治的良药，一个是感染的伪善
因为宗教告诉你做什么，但耶稣说一切都已做成。
宗教让你为奴，而耶稣让你成为神的儿女。
宗教将你捆绑，而耶稣将你释放。
宗教让你眼瞎，而耶稣让你看见。
这就是为什么宗教和耶稣是不同的两类。
Religion is man searching for God,
Christianity is God searching for man.
Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own.
Not based on my merits, but Jesus’ obedience alone.
Because he took the crown of thorns and the blood dripped down his face.
He took away all we deserved, I guess it’s why you call it grace.
While being murdered he yelled “Father forgive them, they know now what they do”,
because as he was dangling from that cross, he was thinking of YOU.
He absorbed all your sin, and He buried it in the tomb
that’s why I’m kneeling at the cross saying “come on, there’s room”.
So for religion, no I hate it. In fact I literally resent it.
Because when Jesus said “IT IS FINISHED”, I believe he meant it.
宗教是好人找神，而基督教是神寻找罪人
这就是为什么救恩是白白得到的，并我已得赦免
不是靠我的善行，而是单靠耶稣的顺服
因为他戴上了荆棘冠冕，宝血从他脸上下淌
祂承受了我们当得的，这就是所谓的恩典
当祂被盯死的时候，他大声叫喊：
“父啊，赦免他们，因为他们不知道在做什么。”
因为当他悬挂在十架的时候，祂在想着你的得救。
祂承担了你所有的罪愆，并把它一同在坟墓里埋葬
这就是我为什么跪在十字架下，请你也来就祂无穷的恩典。
所以，我痛恨宗教，实在是怨恨不已
因为当耶稣说一切都成了，我相信祂说的是真。 |
