顛倒黑白 Calling Black White

通病系列（二）
主題：顛倒黑白（瑪23:23-26）

過分「輕重不分、本末倒置」會導致「以黑為白，認賊作父」的嚴重後果。
最極端，最容易明白的例子，就是那些在戰爭時為了自保、自利而出賣同胞，為侵略者當鷹犬走狗，俗稱「漢奸」的行為！可是，在日常生活中，為了自己的便利而「蠻不講理」，做出損人利己行為者，大有人在！為了息事寧人，我們通常會啞忍。小心，習慣了，我們可能一樣會做出顛倒黑白的行為！

婚姻制度在不同時代、不同社會中，保障著夫妻關係和生兒育女的責任，是不爭的事實。同樣，性小數，例如同性戀者，在不同時代、不同社會中，受到不同程度的歧視，也是不爭的事實。可是，以「平權」之名，爭取把同性戀者的結合享有婚姻的保障，未免是「以黑為白」了！

我不會挑戰兩個同性戀者之間的關係，但試問兩個同性戀人的DNA，如何生男育女，如何向生命開放，如何造出一個新的人類生命呢？既然不願意負起生兒育女的義務，卻硬要享受婚姻制度的權利，這不是「蠻不講理」，是甚麼？或許同性戀者會群起抗議，為甚麼我容許沒有生育能力的兩個異性結婚，例如長者，而反對他們呢？理由很簡單，天主能夠把即使是長者的異性DNA，造出一個新的人類生命，例如亞巴郎和撒辣（創18:10-14）。對不起，同性的DNA造不到！那麼同性伴侶領養孤兒，不是做福他們，不是主耶穌所說的「善行」（瑪5:16）嗎？對不起，同性伴侶領養孤兒，是剝奪了孤兒們應有的父愛母愛，是「洗擦杯盤的外面」（23:25）。外面是善行，裡面卻是「劫奪」了孤兒應有的權利！顛倒了黑白，難怪耶穌基督慨嘆兩次「禍哉」了！

聖父，求祢喚醒我們心中的聖神，重振「超見」與「明達」之恩，不要讓我們作出損人利己的惡行。亞孟。
天主保祐！

Common Mistakes Series (II)
Theme: Calling Black White (Matthew 23:23-36)

Going extreme, “Wrong Priorities” will lead to “Calling Black White; Devils Fathers”.
The most extreme and easily understandable examples are traitors during war times, when out of self-preservation, they betray their folks and are happy to become running dogs for invaders! Even during peace time nowadays, many people become unreasonable when they get things they want. In order not to rock the boat, we tend to tolerate and keep silent. Beware, when we get used to such actions, we ourselves might call black white one day!

It is an indisputable fact that in different ages and different societies, the marriage institution protects nuptial relations and the duty of procreation. Similarly, it is also an undeniable fact that in different ages and different societies, sexual minorities suffer from prejudice. However, advocacy for homosexuals to enjoy marital protections in the name of equal rights is in reality calling black white!

I will not challenge the relationship between two homosexuals but how is it possible for the DNA of two homosexuals to procreate, to be open to life and to make a new human life? Relenting the obligation to procreate children but insisting on enjoying the rights of marriages, if it is not unreasonable, what is? Perhaps many homosexuals will protest. Why do I allow two sterile heterosexuals, say seniors, to get married but object to theirs? Simply put, God is able to make a new human life from the DNA of two heterosexual seniors, for example Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 18:10-14), but not from the DNA of homosexuals! What about adopting orphans by homosexual couples? Aren’t those “good deeds” Jesus talks about in Matthew 5:16? Sorry for homosexual couples’ adoption of orphans. You are plundering the orphans’ rights to fatherly love and motherly love. This is blatant “cleansing the outside of cup and dish” (23:25). They are good looking deeds on the outside, but plundering the inalienable rights of orphans on the inside! You are calling black white and no wonder Jesus Christ laments “Woe to you” twice!

Heavenly Father, awake the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Reinvigorate the gifts of counsel and knowledge in us so that we can avoid the evils of gaining advantages at the expense of others. Amen.
God bless!
