Why God Allows Pain
為何神允許痛苦發生?
This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand.
這是對為何神准許痛苦與患難發生的最佳解釋,可讓人明白。
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
一位先生到理髮店剪頭髮、修鬍鬚。
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
理髮師開始理髮,他們談得很愉快。
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
他們談了許多事情與各種議題。
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
最後他們談到神,理髮師說:「我不相信神存在。」
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
顧客問:「你為什麼這樣說?」
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."
你到街上就明白神不存在。如果神存在,為什麼有那麼多病人?那麼多棄養的小孩?如果神存在,就不會有疼痛與苦難。我不明白慈愛的神允許這些事情。
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
顧客想了一下,並沒有回應,因他不想引起爭論。理完頭髮,顧客準備離去。他看到街上有一人頭髮長、糾結、骯髒,鬍鬚也沒有刮,看來骯髒、蓬亂。
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
顧客再回到店裡,向理髮師說:「你知道麼,理髮師不存在的!」
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
理髮師很驚訝的問:「你怎能如此說?我在這裡,我是理髮師,剛剛還給你理過髮的!」
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
顧客解釋:「不!理髮師不存在,如果理髮師存在,外面就不會有像那位長髮、不刮鬍鬚的人。」
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is that people do not come to me."
「但理髮師是存在的!只是那人不來找我。」
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is that people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
「對的!」顧客承認:「這就是重點!神也存在!只是人不到祂那裡去,不尋求祂,那就是為何在世界上有這麼多痛苦與患難。」
