在邁向光明的大道口,佛陀對螢火蟲說,“耶和華的《十誡》(The Ten Commandments; Exo 20:2-17; Deu 5:6-21),我可否我可否只買後六誡而不買前四誡?”
螢火蟲不同意地說,“主耶穌基督說,‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.(Mt 22:36-40)。‘主耶穌基督所說的最大的誡與第一誡’就是指‘耶和華的《十誡》的前四誡’,‘主耶穌基督所說的第二誡’就是指‘耶和華的《十誡》的後六誡’,你豈能輕言放棄最大的誡呢?”
“經上說,‘The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom. All those doing them have a good insight. His praise is standing forever.’(Ps 111:10)。如果你拋棄這最大的誡與第一誡,那麼誰來監督你遵行第二誡?那麼第二誡如何能充分展現耶和華的愛?那麼第二誡如何能充分發揮耶和華救恩的光芒?那麼第二誡如何能永久存活呢?”
“經上說,‘Let my heart prove faultless in your regulations, In order that I may not be ashamed. For your salvation my soul has pined away; For your word I have waited. My eyes have pined away for your saying, While I say: When will you comfort me? For I have become like a skin bottle in the smoke. Your regulations I have not forgotten. How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment against those persecuting me? The presumptuous have excavated pitfalls to get me, Those who are not in accord with your law. All your commandments are faithfulness itself. Without cause they have persecuted me. O help me. In a little while they would have exterminated me in the earth; But I myself did not leave your orders. According to your loving-kindness preserve me alive, That I may keep the reminder of your mouth.’(Ps 119:80-88)。如果你拋棄這最大的誡與第一誡,那麼誰來提供你永生與救恩?那麼誰來治你眼睛的失明?那麼誰來時刻保護與安慰你?那麼誰來時刻提醒你遵行耶和華的話與意志?那麼誰來對逼迫你的人施行審判?那麼誰來時刻幫助你與阻止惡人滅絕你?那麼誰能以無限的慈愛來救活你?”
