On October 31, President Trump shared a cartoon. Broken and burning doors carry the names of Norway, England, Sweden, and France. The last door still stands. It has the American flag on it. A man in a long robe holds a lit torch next to it. He stands on a mat that says “Islam.” The words above the picture are simple: “Wake up America!”
美西时间10月31日，川普总统发了一张漫画。一排破损着火的门上写着挪威、英格兰、瑞典、法国。最后一扇门还在。门上是美国国旗。一个穿长袍的人手里拿着点燃的火把站在旁边。他脚下垫着一块写着“Islam”的垫子。画面上方写着：“醒来吧美国！”
The picture does not need a long explanation. It points to what has already happened in parts of Europe—rising crime, parallel societies, and cultural pressure—and warns that the same pattern can reach the United States. The door is still standing, but the torch has already been brought to it. The only way the door opens from the inside is by electing leaders who refuse to see the problem. Eric Daugherty posted the same image with these words: “WAKE UP AMERICA. The barbarians are inside the gate and knocking on the door. The only way they get inside is by electing DEMOCRATS. Vote red to save America, it’s that simple.” The overall meaning is clear: some European countries already face serious problems. If America elects Democrats again, similar conditions can come in. The call is for Americans to wake up and vote red.
这张图不用长解释。它指的是欧洲部分地区已经发生的事——犯罪上升、平行社会、文化压力——并警告同样的模式可以来到美国。门还在，但火把已经递到门口了。门从里面打开的唯一方式，就是选出拒绝看见问题的领导人。 Eric Daugherty 发同一张图时配了这些话：“醒来吧美国。野蛮人已经在大门里面了，正在敲门。他们能进来的唯一方式，就是选民主党。投红色票拯救美国，就这么简单。”整体意思很清楚：欧洲一些国家已经出现严重问题。美国如果再选民主党，类似情况也会进来。呼吁美国人“醒来”，投共和党（红）票。
The next day, November 1, a Bible class was held in a deep-blue state. The teacher spoke on the Sermon on the Mount. The handout spent almost all its time on the personal instructions: do not resist an evil person, turn the other cheek, love your enemies, go the extra mile. It treated standing up for rights, pushing back, and protecting oneself as “questionable cultural values.” It did not ask what a follower of Jesus, or a person in authority, should do when the evil is aimed at someone else, at the weak, or at the whole community.
第二天，11月1日，深蓝州有一堂查经课。讲师讲山上宝训。讲义几乎把全部时间放在个人层面的教导上：不要与恶人作对、转过另一边脸、爱仇敌、多走一里。它把站出来争权利、反击、保护自己都归到“可疑的文化价值观”一边。它没有问：当恶是针对别人、针对弱者、或针对整个共同体时，跟随耶稣的人或掌权者该怎么做。
The words of Jesus are true. They tell a person how to answer when he himself is struck. The same Bible also says that those who govern do not carry the sword for nothing. They are God’s servants who punish the one who does wrong (Romans 13:4). When a teacher takes only the first set of words and stretches them to cover every case, the difference disappears. People leave the room less sure that it is right to stop harm when the harm is aimed at others. In a city and a state that have long chosen one political direction, this choice of emphasis arrived on the same weekend the cartoon was telling the country to look at the door.
耶稣的话是真的。它们告诉一个人，当自己被打时该如何回应。同一本圣经也说，掌权的人不是空空佩剑。他们是神的用人，刑罚那作恶的（罗马书13:4）。 讲师只拿第一组话，把它拉长到覆盖所有情况，区别就消失了。人离开教室时，对制止针对他人的伤害是否正确，会变得更不确定。在一个长期选择一种政治方向的城市和州里，这种侧重出现在漫画告诉全国看那扇门的同一个周末。
This way of teaching is not limited to one classroom. In the past, some Chinese community classes stressed only obedience to parents and superiors while rarely mentioning the duty to tell right from wrong. Some overseas programs have highlighted “harmony” and “acceptance” while setting aside the parts of the tradition that question power. The result in each case is the same: people become slower to ask whether the thing being asked of them is just. When the same method is used with Scripture, the effect is not that the text is false. It is that only one side of the text is allowed to speak.
这种讲法不限于一间教室。过去有些中国社区课程只强调顺从父母和上司，很少提到分辨是非的责任。一些海外项目突出“和谐”“接纳”，把传统中质疑权力的部分放在一边。每种情况下的结果都一样：人对被要求做的事是否公正，会变得更慢于发问。 当同样的方法用在圣经上，效果不是经文是假的，而是只允许经文的一面开口。
The cartoon and the class stood side by side for one weekend. One showed doors already broken and a torch already brought to the American door. The other, in a place that has long voted blue, chose at that moment to stress personal non-resistance while remaining silent on the duty to stop evil directed at others. Light is meant to reveal the truth, including when to forgive and when to stop evil. When only one side is taught at a time when the door is still standing, the effect is not neutrality. It is a blurring that makes people less willing to ask the question the cartoon is asking: whether the door should stay closed.
漫画和这堂课在同一个周末并排站着。一张显示门已经破了、火把已经递到美国门口。另一边，在一个长期投蓝的地方，选择在这个时候强调个人不抵抗，同时对制止针对他人的恶保持沉默。光要照出真相，包括什么时候该饶恕，什么时候该制止恶。 当门还在的时候只讲一面，效果不是中立。它是一种模糊，让人更不愿意问漫画正在问的问题：这扇门该不该继续关着。
God gives life so that people may walk in clear light, not in a fog that makes the boundaries of every path hard to see. Those who believe are not meant to stay in the dark. They are also not meant to stay inside lines that have been made hard to see. The cartoon says the door is still there. By what it chose not to say, the class avoided answering the question of whether anyone should keep it closed.
上帝给人生命，是为了让人走在清楚的光里，而不是走在分不清每条路的界限的雾里。信的人不该停留在黑暗里。他们也不该停留在被弄得难以看见的界限里。漫画说门还在。这堂课选择不说的话，回避了“是否有人该继续关着门”这个问题的答案。
