江的讲道我听了一些但还不太多,至今没发现她讲的和圣经的教导有出入.用圣经做标尺,我是这样认为.
刚好在读一篇讲婚姻的文章,愿意和姐妹分享:
There is a general concept that the greater a potential for good something has, the stronger the temptation to misuse it. Love and marriage are prime examples of this. Marriage gives man and woman the ability to build the ultimate ???? of relationship - symbolic of man's relationship with G-d. Each partner loves and provides for the other for the other's sake, yet realizes and appreciates that the other is doing for him or her for the very same reason. And as each partner does for the other, he or she grows closer to the other as well -- for we love those to whom we give. Eventually, a couple merges -- into a complete and united whole.
However, anything which has such potential for such good can as well be corrupted into a means for the most terrible of evils. And this is the manner in which the world works, for the "dark side of the force" (we can call it Satan, but it's really quite the same idea) will not allow such potential for goodness to go unchecked and unchallenged. Just as the most heinous of crimes are committed in the name of religion, the worst acts of selfishness can be perpetrated under the guise of a "marriage." Rather than marriage being used for selflessness, giving and bonding, it can be used for selfishness and taking. Men and women are different by nature (if any of you haven't noticed already). If they merge, their natures will complement one another, and they will become a united whole. If, however, one marries solely for his or her own sake - to take from the other, to dominate or abuse, or to give himself an illusory sense of importance by putting the other down, he is involved in the most selfish and crushing relationship possible. The very closeness and intimacy involved in marriage gives each spouse the ability to crush and to hurt the other in a manner not possible in any other sort of relationship. And sadly, we all know how ugly, painful and devastating unhealthy relationships can be, and how slowly the scars from them heal.
