12人里面有一个犯罪的因素,一个犯罪的瘾,那就是撒但。我们乃是作他的俘虏。……首先撒但把我们俘掳了,然后他就来住在我们里面,作我们犯罪的主动者、主使者;结果他就成了我们非法的主人,我们就作了他的俘虏,使我们好事不作,专作犯罪的事。……在圣经里撒但还有一个名字,叫作别西卜。别西卜这名字在圣经里按原文说,是粪堆之王,意思是苍蝇之王,因为粪堆上面全是苍蝇。撒但是粪堆之王,他专门带着〔罪人像〕苍蝇〔一样〕来吃粪,所以他又是苍蝇之王。……即使高尚的人,也是苍蝇;他们所去的舞会,是稍微高尚一点的场所,可以说是文明的粪场,所以别西卜也会化装成高尚的样子,叫个个“苍蝇”跟着他也都高尚起来。他们这些苍蝇装扮得很好看、很斯文,跳起舞来个个都变得很高尚。表面看他们在那里跳舞,实际上他们是在“吃粪”(李常受文集一九八四年第四册,四○页)。
12There is a sinning factor, an addiction to sinning, within man. This factor, this addiction, is Satan himself, and man is his captive…First Satan captured us; then he came to dwell in us as the inciter, the instigator, of our sins. The result is that he has become our illegal master, and we have become his captives to the extent that we are unable to do good and can only commit sins. In the Bible, Satan is also called Beelzebul…Beelzebul means “the lord of the dunghill,” from the name meaning “the lord of flies.”…Satan specializes in leading flies to feed on dung; hence, he is also the lord of flies. Since he is the lord of flies, all sinners are like flies that follow Satan to “feed on dung.”…Even upper-class people are like flies. Beelzebul can disguise himself with a high-class appearance so that all the “flies” following him appear to be of a high class. Such persons hold dancing parties in upperclass places, but such places are merely cultured “dunghills.” These people dress nicely and are very cultured, and when they dance, they seem elegant. In actuality, however, they are “eating dung.” (CWWL, 1984, vol. 4, “The Jubilee,” p. 29)
