答:不应该这样。我们的 神"喜爱公义,恨恶罪恶"(参诗45:7),他要我们"行公义,好怜悯"(参弥6:8)。法利赛人受到主耶稣的责备,是由于他们"假冒为善",将薄荷、茴香、芹菜,献上十分之一,那律法上更重要的事,就是公义、怜悯、信实,反倒不行(参太23:23)。圣经还告诉我们,行不义之人的祈祷、奉献和敬拜,是 神所憎恶的(参赛1:10-15)。
98. Can a Christian merely concern himself with worshipping God, and not with justice on earth?
He should not do so. Our Lord “Loves, righteousness and hates wickedness ”(cf Psalm 45, 7). He wants us to”do justly andlove mercy”(cf Micah 6, 8). The Pharisees earned Jesus’ rebuke because they were “hypocrites”, who tithed mint and dill and cumin, but neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith (cf Matthew 23, 23). The Bible also tells us that God hates the prayers, the offerings, and the worship of the unrighteous (cf Isaiah 1, 10-15).
