第16章 一夫多妻

“旧约·创世纪6∶1-2” 当人在世上多起来、又生女儿的时候,上帝的儿子们看见人的女子美貌,就随意挑选,娶来为妻。

When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose。

中国人讲的“人之初,性本善”与基督教精神并不相符。基督教认为,人之初是恶的,人因为犯罪才被上帝从伊甸园赶出受苦受难,洗脱自己的罪责。

男人见到美貌的女子就起淫意,想占为己有。这也暗喻男人很容易被女人的美貌所迷惑,而忽视了女人品德和才学。
