權力不是最高,神的公義才是 Power Is Not Supreme — God’s Righteousness Is
一、聖經的權力秩序:誰才是最高權威? 聖經的政治倫理,從來不是建立在「人定法最大」的前提之上。 Biblical political ethics are never built on the assumption that human law is supreme. 相反地,聖經清楚呈現一個不可顛倒的權力次序:神的律法高於人的法律,而人的法律又高於君王或政權的命令。 Instead, Scripture presents an unalterable hierarchy of authority: God’s law stands above human law, and human law above royal or state command. 這個原則在聖經中並非抽象理念,而是被真實地活出來。 This principle is not abstract in the Bible; it is lived out concretely. 使徒行傳 5:29 明確宣告:「順從神,不順從人,是應當的。」 Acts 5:29 states plainly, “We must obey God rather than men.” 但以理書第六章中,但以理違抗王的禁令,不是出於反叛心理,而是因為王令直接違背神的律法。 In Daniel chapter 6, Daniel disobeys the king’s decree not out of rebellion, but because the decree directly contradicts God’s law. 二、合法不等於正義:聖經對法律的根本批判 在這樣的權力秩序之下,聖經從未把「合法」視為「正義」的同義詞。 Within this framework, the Bible never treats legality as synonymous with justice. 以賽亞書 10:1 直指問題核心:「禍哉!那些設立不義之律例的。」 Isaiah 10:1 confronts the issue directly: “Woe to those who enact unjust statutes.” 阿摩司書 5:12–15 更嚴厲地責備那些手握權力、卻扭曲審判、踐踏公義的人。 Amos 5...
