安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 524

安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

Reaction against the theology of past days comes to many who have been surrounded in youth by church people entirely satisfied that the truth and faith indispensable to future happiness were derived only through strictest Calvinistic creeds. The thoughtful youth is naturally carried along and disposed to concur in this. He cannot but think, up to a certain period of development, that what is believed by the best and the highest educated around him--those to whom he looks for example and instruction--must be true. He resists doubt as inspired by the Evil One seeking his soul, and sure to get it unless faith comes to the rescue. Unfortunately he soon finds that faith is not exactly at his beck and call. Original sin he thinks must be at the root of this inability to see as he wishes to see, to believe as he wishes to believe. It seems clear to him that already he is little better than one of the lost. Of the elect he surely cannot be, for these must be ministers, elders, and strictly orthodox men.

白话

卡内基描述许多年轻人对旧神学的反叛:他们从小被严格加尔文派教义包围,周围人认定只有信这套才能得救。爱思考的少年起初会跟着信,觉得身边最有教养的人都信,那大概就是真的;他把怀疑当成魔鬼的引诱,拼命抵抗。可他很快发现,信仰不是想有就有的。他于是怀疑自己本性败坏,注定是“失落的人”,不可能是“选民”。核心是:当一个人诚实面对自己的怀疑,却被迫假装相信,内心就会撕裂。

今日一问

你有没有过表面附和、内心却不认同的时刻?那种撕裂感后来怎么处理的?
