오늘의 단상_거짓종교

 

창조주 하나님의 말씀을 믿지못하게 하거나 믿기는 하지만 희미하게 믿도록 유도하는 사단의 간교한 책동들에 대하여 성경말씀을 통해서 살펴보도록 하겠습니다.

 

1. The Origins of False Religion at Babel

 

"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." (Genesis 11:4 KJV)

 

"또 말하되 자, 성읍과 탑을 건설하여 그 탑 꼭대기를 하늘에 닿게 하여 우리 이름을 내고 온 지면에 흩어짐을 면하자 하였더니" (창세기 11:4)

 

This verse introduces how the people at Babel sought to build a tower to reach heaven, representing man's attempt to create their own way to God through false religion.

 

2. God's Response to Man-Made Religion

 

"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11:6 KJV)

 

"여호와께서 이르시되 이 무리가 한 족속이요 언어도 하나이므로 이같이 시작하였으니 이 후로는 그 하고자 하는 일을 막을 수 없으리로다" (창세기 11:6)

 

This verse shows God's response to the people's efforts, recognizing their unified attempt to reach Him through their own means and deciding to intervene to prevent further rebellion.

 

3. Satan's Corruption of God's Truth

 

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:13-14 KJV)

 

"그런 사람들은 거짓 사도요 속이는 일꾼이니 자기를 그리스도의 사도로 가장하는 자들이니라 이것은 이상한 일이 아니니라 사탄도 자기를 광명의 천사로 가장하나니" (고린도후서 11:13-14)

 

This verse illustrates how Satan and his followers disguise themselves as bearers of truth, corrupting God's message.

 

4. Warnings Against Astrology and Divination

 

"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch," (Deuteronomy 18:10 KJV)

 

"그 아들이나 딸을 불 가운데로 지나게 하는 자나 점쟁이나 길흉을 말하는 자나 요술하는 자나 무당이나" (신명기 18:10)

 

This verse explicitly forbids various occult practices, including divination and observing times (astrology).

 

5. The Deception of Fortune-Telling

 

"For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed." (Jeremiah 29:8 KJV)

 

"만군의 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님이 이같이 말하노라 너희 중에 있는 선지자들에게와 복술자들에게 속지 말며 너희가 꾼 바 꿈도 신청하지 말라" (예레미야 29:8)

 

This verse warns against being deceived by false prophets and diviners, which includes those who claim to tell fortunes.

 

6. The Wealth of False Religious Systems

 

"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." (Revelation 18:3 KJV)

 

"그 음행의 진노의 포도주로 말미암아 만국이 무너졌으며 또 땅의 왕들이 그와 더불어 음행하였으며 땅의 상인들도 그 사치의 세력으로 치부하였도다" (요한계시록 18:3)

 

This verse describes the wealth and influence accumulated by the false religious system symbolized as Babylon.

 

7. The End-Times False Religious System

 

"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17:5 KJV)

 

"그의 이마에 이름이 기록되었으니 비밀이라, 큰 바벨론이라, 땅의 음녀들과 가증한 것들의 어미라 하였더라" (요한계시록 17:5)

 

This verse introduces the concept of a worldwide false religious system in the end times, symbolized as Babylon.

 

8. The Spiritual Adultery of False Religion

 

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4 KJV)

 

"간음한 여자들아 세상과 벗된 것이 하나님과 원수 됨을 알지 못하느냐 그런즉 누구든지 세상과 벗이 되고자 하는 자는 스스로 하나님과 원수 되는 것이니라" (야고보서 4:4)

This verse describes how aligning with worldly systems, including false religions, is spiritual adultery against God.

 

9. The Subtle Infiltration of False Teachings

 

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matthew 24:24 KJV)

 

"거짓 그리스도들과 거짓 선지자들이 일어나 큰 표적과 기사를 보여 할 수만 있으면 택하신 자들도 미혹하게 하리라" (마태복음 24:24)

 

This verse warns about the deceptive nature of false teachings, which can be so convincing that they might even deceive God's chosen people.

 

10. The Call for Spiritual Vigilance

 

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" (1 Peter 5:8 KJV)

 

"근신하라 깨어라 너희 대적 마귀가 우는 사자 같이 두루 다니며 삼킬 자를 찾나니" (베드로전서 5:8)

 

This verse emphasizes the need for Christians to be alert and watchful against spiritual deception and false teachings.
