在黑暗的地洞裡,有兩地鼠長年在挖地洞,孔丘地鼠對朱熹地鼠說,“我說過‘述而不作,信而好古,竊比於我老彭’與‘我非生而知之者,好古,敏以求之者也’,挖地洞好,越挖地洞越深越好,越深就越黑,越黑離‘Light’就越遠,離‘Light’越遠你就越可以找到古屍與古屎,離‘Light’越遠你就越可以為古屍與古屎化妝,離‘Light’越遠你就越可以說謊騙人,離‘Light’越遠你就越可以胡作非為,離‘Light’越遠你就可以殺了人(Gen 9:6)還能當‘大成至聖先師’(John 8:44),不是嗎?”
朱熹地鼠說,“夫子‘刪詩書,定禮樂,贊周易,修春秋,皆傳先王之舊,而未嘗有所作也,故其自言如此。蓋不惟不敢當作者之聖,而亦不敢顯然自附於古之賢人;蓋其德愈盛而心愈下,不自知其辭之謙也。然當是時,作者略備,夫子蓋集群聖之大成而折衷之。其事雖述,而功則倍於作矣,此又不可不知也’,我將永遠地跟從夫子(Matt 23:9-10),我將‘存天理,滅人欲’,我將‘律人不律己’,我將‘律下不律上’,我將‘口說道德仁義,私下道德敗壞’,我將‘嚴苛待人,虛僞遮己’,我將‘說一套做一套’,我將‘又當婊子 又爭牌坊’,我將‘學夫子吃人,又當聖人’,這不就是夫子之道嗎?”
天空中飛鳥說,“主耶穌基督說,‘I am the light of the world. He that follows me will by no means walk in darkness, but will possess the light of life.’(John 8:12)與‘YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.’(John 8:32),這些地鼠只愛黑洞不愛藍天,這些地鼠懼怕藍天裡的‘Light’,不是嗎?”

Ps 1, 《禮記•樂記》說,“人生而靜,天之性也。感於物而動,性之欲也。物至知知,然後好惡形焉。好惡無節於內,知誘於外。不能反躬天理滅矣。夫物之感人無窮,而人之好惡無節,則是物至而人化物也。人化物也者,滅天理而窮人欲者也。於是有悖逆詐偽之心,有淫泆作亂之事。” ,這是“存天理,滅人欲”的思想根源。
Ps 2, 朱熹說,“孔子所謂‘克己復禮’,《中庸》所謂‘致中和’,‘尊德性’,‘道問學’,《大學》所謂‘明明德’,《書》曰,‘人心惟危,道心惟微,惟精惟一,允執厥中’,聖賢千言萬語,只是教人明天理、滅人欲。天理明,自不消講學。人性本明,如寶珠沈溷水中,明不可見;去了溷水,則寶珠依舊自明。自家若得知是人欲蔽了,便是明處。只是這上便緊緊著力主定,一面格物。今日格一物,明日格一物,正如遊兵攻圍拔守,人欲自消鑠去。所以程先生說‘敬’字,只是謂我自有一個明底物事在這裏。把個‘敬’字抵敵,常常存個敬在這裏,則人欲自然來不得。夫子曰:‘爲仁由己,而由人乎哉!’ ,緊要處正在這裏!”( 《朱子語類.卷十二•學六 》) 與“有天理自然之安,無人欲陷溺之危。不爲物欲所昏,則渾然天理矣。天理人欲,無硬定底界,此是兩界分上功夫。這邊功夫多,那邊不到占過來。若這邊功夫少,那邊必侵過來。人只有個天理人欲,此勝則彼退,彼勝則此退,無中立不進退之理。凡人不進便退也。譬如劉項相拒於荥陽成臯間,彼進得一步,則此退一步;此進一步,則彼退一步。初學則要牢劄定腳與他捱,捱得一毫去,則逐旋捱將去。此心莫退,終須有勝時。勝時甚氣象!人只是此一心。今日是,明日非,不是將不是底換了是底。今日不好,明日好,不是將好底換了不好底。只此一心,但看天理私欲之消長如何爾。以至千載之前,千載之後,與天地相爲始終,只此一心。讀書亦不須牽連引證以爲工。如此纏繞,皆只是爲人;若實爲己,則須是將己心驗之。見得聖賢說底與今日此心無異,便是工夫。學者須是革盡人欲,複盡天理,方始是學。今去讀書,要去看取句語相似不相似,便方始是讀書。讀書須要有志;志不立,便衰。而今只是分別人欲與天理,此長,彼必短;此短,彼必長。未知學問,此心渾爲人欲。既知學問,則天理自然發見,而人欲漸漸消去者,固是好矣。然克得一層,又有一層。大者固不可有,而纖微尤要密察!凡一事便有兩端:是底即天理之公,非底乃人欲之私。須事事與剖判極處,即克治擴充功夫隨事著見。然人之氣禀有偏,所見亦往往不同。如氣禀剛底人,則見剛處多,而處事必失之太剛;柔底人,則見柔處多,而處事必失之太柔。須先就氣禀偏處克治。”( 《朱子語類.卷十三•學七 》)
朱熹不知“All Human Beings Are Created in the Image of God”(Gen 1:26-27; Col 1:15),所以朱熹無法了解“Individual soul, conscience, honor, love, justice, moral integrity, free will, creativity, moral responsibility”與“Individual dignity and individual rights”來自“The Image of God”;朱熹不知“Jehovah alone is the Most High”(Ps 83:18; Rev 15:3; Rev 4:11; Ps 90:2; John 17:3; John 3:16; 1 John 4:16),所以朱熹無法了解“人不能倚靠自己的聰明,人應該要專心仰賴耶和華” (Pro 3:5-8; Ps 22:4-5; Ecc 2:8-10; Jer 9:23-24; Ecc 9:1-18; Ps 33:1-22; Zec 4:6;Ps 37:3; Deu 28:13-14; Lev 26:3-9; Pro 111:10; Eze 18:21-23; Ecc 10:1-20; Gal 6:7-8 ; Gen 6:3; 1 John 3:4-10; 1 John 5-18; 1 Peter 2:1-17; 1 Cor 15:45-58; James 4:6; Eze 2:22-23; Rev 2:22-23; Eph 2:14-22; Pro 1-27),所以朱熹無法了解只有“The Nature of Christian Freedom”(Gal 5:1-15)與“The Fruit of the Spirit”(Gal 5:16-26)才能使人得救。
Ps 3, Jehovah God created the first humans in the image of God, in the likeness of God(Gen 1:26-30). Ex. Spiritual purity, spiritual chastity, spiritual dignity, spiritual character, spiritual mind, spiritual soul, spiritual integrity, love, justice, honesty, self-control, moral judgments, consciousness, goodness, benevolence, kindness, loyalty, peace, mercy, compassion, bravery, modesty, altruism, generosity, sacrifice, persistence, effort, rectitude, wisdom, free will, creativity, personality, intellectual and relational abilities, social skills and learning, abstract thinking, logical thinking, patience, fortitude, prudence, diligence, etc. 這就是“Individual's image of God”的思想根源。
