亚当·汉密尔顿(Adam Hamilton)名言

Learning to read the Bible in the light of the times in which it was written is critical. Reading it uncritically, without understanding the cultural and historical setting of the text, leaves us forced to accept scientific and sociological norms of the ancient Near East from 3,000 years ago.

学会根据圣经的写作时代来阅读圣经是至关重要的。不加批判地阅读它，却不了解文本的文化和历史背景，这使我们不得不接受3000年前的古代近东的科学和社会学规范。

亚当·汉密尔顿

I'm convinced many of America's heroes are public school teachers and administrators. Many of these people do what they do because of their faith.

我相信，美国的许多英雄都是公立学校的老师和行政人员。这些人中有许多人由于信仰而做自己的事情。

亚当·汉密尔顿

If 'everything happens for a reason,' then every act of evil is ultimately God's doing.

如果“一切都是出于某种原因发生的”，那么每一次邪恶的行为最终都是上帝的作为。

亚当·汉密尔顿

The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.

圣经呼吁我们爱我们的邻居，正义与爱心，不要滥杀滥伤。

亚当·汉密尔顿

While some misuse their freedom to perpetrate evil, millions respond by feeling compelled to use their freedom to do good.

尽管有些人滥用自己的自由来犯下罪恶，但数以百万计的人却感到被迫使用自己的自由行善。

I love the Bible. I read it every day. I spend 10 hours a week studying it. It has affected my life in profound ways. I am inspired when I read it.

我爱圣经。我每天都读。我每周花10个小时研究它。它深刻地影响了我的生活。当我阅读它时，我会受到启发。

亚当·汉密尔顿

I am a pastor, and I teach and preach the Bible to my congregation every week. But the Bible is not a manufacturer's handbook. Neither is it a science textbook nor a guidebook for public policy.

我是牧师，我每周都会向会众传教圣经。但是圣经不是制造商的手册。它既不是科学教科书，也不是公共政策指南。
