If you're a believer, why do you trust in God?

如果你是信徒，為什麼你會信靠上帝？

我知道聽起來像個陷阱問題，而且

程度副詞

I'm definitely going to be going through a video today about how we can know we shouldn't trust God.

今天我絕對會透過影片來探討，我們怎麼知道自己不應該信靠上帝。

But my question is sincere and I am asking honestly, how do you trust God?

但我的問題是真誠的，我真心發問，你怎麼信靠上帝？

是什麼讓你覺得上帝是值得信賴的？

Or is it just something you have always said, something you think you're supposed to do?

或者這只是你一直以來都這樣說，是你認為自己應該要做的事嗎？

I mean, biblically speaking, this Bible tells you like crazy.

我的意思是，從聖經角度來說，這本聖經瘋狂地告訴你。

Proverbs 3:5 6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

箴言 3:5-6 倚靠耶和華，總要專心信靠他，不可倚靠自己的聰明。

Psalm 37:3 Trust in the Lord and do good.

詩篇 37:3 倚靠耶和華，且要行善。

Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

There's a ton in the psalms and they usually come with some kind of a promise attached or tried to give you the reason.

詩篇裡有很多這樣的例子，通常都會附帶某種應許，或是試圖給你一個理由。

Psalm 9:10 says, those who know your name, trust in you, for you Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

詩篇 9:10 認識你名的人，必倚靠你；因為你耶和華啊，尋求你的人，你並未離棄。

Is that true or is it just something that is said in the Bible?

這是真的，還是聖經裡說說而已？

大衛又把它看成一種 quid pro quo。

Psalm 28:7 the Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart.

詩篇 28:7 上主是我的力量，我的盾牌；我心裡倚靠他。

let me remind you, even to David, this is the God that killed his infant son, that commanded his multiple wives to be raped, that killed 70,000 innocent people because of a sin.

讓我想提醒你，即使是大衛，這也是那位殺了他的嬰兒之子、命令他的妻子們被輪姦、因為一個罪殺了七萬無辜的人的上帝。

He was punishing David for that he himself incited.

他在懲罰大衛，而這一切都是他自己煽動的。

Obey God out of that fear even then, maybe.

即使如此，或許也出於那份敬畏而順服上帝。

Jeremiah 17:7 says that blessed is the one who Trusts God.

耶利米書 17:7 說，倚靠上主的人，是有福的。

Isaiah 26:3 4 says, will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.

以賽亞書 26:3-4 說，那些心思意念堅定信靠你的人，你必保守他們，使他們得享完全的平安。

Perfect peace in the mind of believers has never been a historical reliability.

信徒心中的完全平安，從來都不是歷史上可靠的保證。

In Nahum 1:7 it says, the Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.

那鴻書 1:7 說，上主是良善的，在患難的日子是避難所。

Again, I know I'm building up a lot here, but

我再說一次，我知道我講了很多，但是

I want you to see the contrast of it in a minute.

我想讓你在幾分鐘內看到其中的對比。

We get similar promises in the New Testament this trade off if we trust in God.

我們在信徒的約翰福音中也得到類似的應許，如果我們信靠上帝。

Romans 15 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.

羅馬書 15 章，願那賜盼望的上帝，你們一切喜樂平安，都充滿你們，因你們信靠他。

In Matthew 6:25 Jesus tells people to rely on God for their needs, promising that God will provide.

在馬太福音 6:25，耶穌告訴人們要倚靠上帝來滿足他們的需要，並應許上帝會供應。

In Philippians it says that we are not to be anxious about anything, but

腓立比書說，我們什麼事都不用憂慮，而是

to bring it to the Lord that we can Trust that He will take care of it.

把事情交給主，我們可以信靠祂會照顧我們。

You know, first I want to talk about trust.

什麼是信任，它是如何運作的。

Then I want to look at Old Testament and New Testament examples that show that maybe we can't trust this God.

然後，我想看看舊約和新約的例子，這些例子表明也許我們無法信任這位上帝。

Then I want to look outside of the Bible while still contemplating trust in this particular God or religion.

然後，我想在思考這位特定的上帝或宗教的信任時，看看聖經以外的例子。

What would it look like if trust was earned instead of commanded when applied to this God?

如果信任是透過努力贏得，而不是被命令，用在這位上帝身上，會是什麼樣子？

So starting at the beginning of the what does it mean to trust?

那麼，從頭開始，信任意味著什麼？

就個人而言，為你自己想想看。

Outside of religion, what does it mean when you trust someone?

在宗教之外，你信任一個人是什麼意思？

What do you try to do when you want someone to trust you?

當你想讓別人信任你時，你會怎麼做？

Trust requires evidence of consistent moral behavior, moral character.

信任需要持續的道德行為、道德品格的證據。

If I think about my best friends, one of them did something egregious, heinous, totally betraying, totally wicked or evil, especially more than once, and

如果我想到我最好的朋友，其中一個做了非常嚴重、令人髮指、完全背叛、完全邪惡或壞事，尤其是多次，而且

Didn't make excuses for it, reveled in it, commanded others to do it.

不找藉口，還樂此不疲，還命令別人這麼做。

That would be a pretty hard person for me to continue to put my trust in.

那樣的人，我會很難繼續信任他。

Trust grows through honesty, through fairness, through empathy and accountability.

信任透過誠實、公平、同理心和責任感來培養。

Those four words I think you have a really hard time tying into Yahweh.

我認為這四個詞很難套用在耶和華身上。

當這些（信任的要素）破滅時，信任就崩潰了。

But religion again gives us kind of a redefined trust.

但宗教又給了我們一種重新定義的信任。

Faith demands belief despite evidence, quite literally, not because of it.

信心要求相信，即使沒有證據，甚至不是因為證據。

That's the opposite of how we form trust anywhere else in life.

這跟我們在生活中其他地方建立信任的方式完全相反。

And again, I know how blasphemous this sounds to the believer's ears.

我知道這聽起來對信徒來說有多麼褻瀆。

And I promise my job is not here to rob you of your faith.

我保證我來這裡不是為了要奪走你的信心。

I can only assume if you're a Christian here who's not here to troll, it is because you are doubting or deconstructing.

我只能猜測，如果你是基督徒，而且不是來鬧場的，那一定是因為你正在懷疑或解構。

I know what all that chaos and confusion feels like.

我知道那種混亂和迷茫的感覺。

And so I am just trying to show you crystal clear what you already know to be true for yourself.

所以我只是想讓你清楚地看到，你自己已經知道的真實。

The things that have already caused you to start doubting and rethinking every part of this religion.

那些讓你開始懷疑和重新思考這個宗教每一個部分的事情。

And one of the big parts is that you are to trust God.

其中一個很重要的部分就是你要信靠上帝。

And if God cannot be trustworthy, I think it leaves only two conclusions.

如果上帝不可信，我認為只剩下兩種結論。

Then you cannot believe in him as your savior.

那麼你就不能相信祂是你的救主。

You cannot have faith that he will do what he says he's going to do.

你就不能相信祂會做祂說祂要做的事。

Or you can't believe in him at all, like in his very existence because the claims that have been put forward about him, like how he should be trustworthy compared up against the facts about why one cannot trust him.

或者你根本就不相信祂，就像不相信祂的存在一樣，因為關於祂的說法，像是祂應該值得信賴，卻與事實上為什麼不能信靠祂的理由相衝突。

Maybe cancel the the very concept of this particular God concept right out.

也許直接取消這個特定的上帝概念。

Something I want to get more clear with is stating the mission or the goal of each video as opposed to not that it's important for me to defend, but

我想要更清楚說明的是，每支影片的任務或目標是什麼，而不是說我需要辯護，

I know some Christians do think these are hit pieces on a God I don't believe in, but

我知道有些基督徒認為這些影片是在攻擊一個他們不相信的上帝，但是

I'm obviously obsessing over no, they're deconstructing.

我顯然不是在糾結，而是在解構。

They are an internal critique of claims made by normal human people about a God that doesn't exist, that has an extraordinary amount of power over people that live today.

他們是對那些聲稱存在一個擁有巨大力量、能影響當今人們的上帝的普通人所做的說法，進行內部批判。

So I already read to you Proverbs 3, 5, 6.

所以我已經唸了箴言 3 章 5 到 6 節給你們聽。

Don't think for yourself, don't question, don't require.

不要自己思考，不要質疑，不要要求。

This is a bad start to how the Bible warps trust.

這是一個糟糕的開端，說明瞭聖經如何扭曲信任。

Another example is job 1315 though he slay me, yet I will trust him.

另一個例子是約伯記 13 章 15 節，即便他殺了我，我仍要信靠他。

That's not trust, that is surrender to an abuser.

那不是信靠，那是對施虐者的投降。

Like seriously, any apologetic you've ever heard anything great moral lesson you're supposed to have learned from Job on his trust and reliance on God is nothing more than a victim being broken to such a degree that he gives up.

說真的，任何你聽過的關於約伯的辯護，任何你 supposed 應該從約伯身上學到的關於信靠和倚賴上帝的偉大道德教訓，都只不過是一個受害者被摧殘到某種程度，以至於他放棄了。

He tells the abuser what they want to hear so that it will stop.

他對施虐者說他們想聽的話，這樣他們就會停下來。

Isaiah 55 tells us that his thoughts are higher, his ways are higher.

以賽亞書 55 章告訴我們，他的思想更高，他的道路更高。

It is already an inbuilt pre existing excuse for the inconsistencies of when God doesn't do all the things that are promised, like in Psalm 37:5 commit your way to the Lord and he will act.

這已經是一個內建的、現成的藉口，用來解釋上帝不照承諾行事的不一致之處，就像詩篇 37 篇 5 節說的，將你的道路交託上主，他必成就。

And then when he doesn't, you just fill in with the excuse and you remind yourself that you shouldn't be leaning on your understanding anyways.

然後當他沒有照做時，你就填補這個藉口，並提醒自己，反正你不應該倚靠自己的理解。
