はてなキーワード: nothingとは
この主張 「神を全面信頼する。なぜなら男性乳首を設計したから」は一見冗談のように聞こえますが、タルムード的に読み解くと、いくつか深い視点が考えられます。
タルムードの思想には、「神が創造したものには無意味なものはない」という考え方があります。
たとえば：
"The Holy One, blessed be He, does nothing in vain.” （ベラホット 10a、サンヘドリン 37aなどの文脈にも近い思想）
つまり、たとえ人間には「無駄」に見えるものでも、神の視点では何らかの意味や目的がある。
この言葉の発言者は、「男性の乳首」という一見不要に見える存在さえも創造された神を見て、「そこまで完全な設計をされたなら、他のことも信頼できる」と感じている、という読み方ができます。
「神はすべてを時にかなって美しくされた。人は神のなさることを初めから終わりまで見極めることができない。」
この発言は、「神の創造の不可解さ」を笑いながら受け入れ、それをもって「だからこそ信じる」と言っているわけです。
タルムード的なパラドックスのユーモアにも似ています（例：Eruvin 13bの「これもあれも神の言葉」など）。
タルムードの賢者たちは、しばしばユーモラスな比喩を用いて信仰や哲学を語ります。
この発言も、皮肉に見えて実は「創造の完全さ」「神の知恵の深さ」への驚嘆を、俗っぽい表現で表したものです。
たとえばラビ・アキヴァのように、「すべてのことは神の慈悲によって」と言いながらも、世俗の中に神の意志を見出そうとする姿勢に似ています（Berakhot 60b 「すべて神がなさることは良いことのためだ」）。
という、創造への信頼と人間理解の限界を受け入れる信仰の表明といえます。
We're going to have to bring this question to a close, please.
この質問はそろそろ終わりにしてください。
In can be, but that is why tradition matters, because the tradition, they understood the context...
そうかもしれませんが、だからこそ伝統が重要なのです。伝統において、彼らは文脈を理解していました…
Tradition is context dependent.
Well, yes and no, because of course tradition is, but if the tradition lasts for 2,000 years, then we look back as to how did they get to that conclusion, how did they reach that verdict, and if that verdict is in alignment with what we see in scripture...
ええ、そうでもあり、そうでもありません。もちろん伝統はそうですが、もし伝統が2000年続くなら、私たちは彼らがどのようにその結論に至ったのか、どのようにその判断を下したのかを振り返ります。そして、その判断が聖書に見られるものと一致しているなら…
But they never, they never reached that verdict. As I have historically pointed out, they never reached that verdict.
しかし、彼らは決してその判断には至りませんでした。私が歴史的に指摘したように、彼らはその判断には至らなかったのです。
In all of, in all of the major church councils...
council (n): （ここでは）教会会議、公会議。キリスト教の教義などを決定するために開かれる会議。
...in very modern day.
…ごく現代において、です。
No, no, I'm talking about in like 300 and 400 and 500, the original church...
いいえ、私が話しているのは300年代、400年代、500年代といった、初期の教会のことです。
...which in the scale of 2,000 years is nothing.
…それは2000年という規模で見れば、無に等しいです。
No, but they set this unbroken chain. We've had an unbroken chain and a course that says that marriage is one man and one woman. The church has never wavered on this...
いいえ、しかし彼らはこの途切れぬ鎖を確立したのです。私たちには、結婚は一人の男と一人の女のものであるとする、途切れぬ鎖と道筋がありました。教会はこの点において決して揺らいだことはありません…
waver (v): 揺らぐ、ためらう、信念がぐらつく。
Noted by the British Empire under British form of Christianity.
それは英国式のキリスト教の下、大英帝国によって特筆されたものです。
I'm talking all the way back to like 200 or 300. The idea of biblical Christianity goes back to the early, early times of the church when it was a scattered, persecuted church well before King Justinian and well before the Eastern Roman Empire, well before mass conversions. When it was a persecuted church, the church believed in one man, one woman, and because they got it from the scripture, scripture itself. Do we want to keep going or?
私が話しているのは200年代や300年代といった時代まで遡ります。聖書的キリスト教という考えは、教会がまだ散在し、迫害されていた初期の時代にまで遡ります。それはユスティニアヌス帝のはるか以前、東ローマ帝国のはるか以前、大規模な改宗のはるか以前のことです。迫害されていた教会であった時、教会は一人の男と一人の女を信じていました。なぜなら、それを聖書、聖書そのものから得たからです。まだ続けますか？
persecuted (adj): 迫害された。
Justinian: ユスティニアヌス1世（482-565）。東ローマ帝国の皇帝で、ローマ法の集大成などで知られます。
Can we move on to the next question, please? Thank you. Thank you.
次の質問に移ってもよろしいでしょうか？ありがとうございます。
(拍手)
I did not say that. I said the biblical marriage was affirmed and then Romans 1 did talk negatively about the action of homosexuality.
私はそうは言っていません。聖書的な結婚が肯定されたと言ったのです。そしてローマ人への手紙1章が同性愛という行為について否定的に語っていると。
But ultimately that affirmation comes from the lines in there that suggest that man shall not sleep with man.
しかし、最終的にその肯定は、「男は男と寝てはならない」と示唆する聖句から来ているのではありませんか。
Yes, of course. Yes. So the Old Testament and New Testament harmonize one another, but Christ brought it to a different level, a different covenant, and a different moral teaching. It wasn't just enough to say that you shall, you know, "an eye for an eye." He said that you shall turn the other cheek, that you shall love your enemy. Christ's moral standard was much more even elevated than that of the Israelites and the Hebrews.
ええ、もちろんです。旧約聖書と新約聖書は互いに調和していますが、キリストはそれを異なるレベル、異なる契約、異なる道徳的教えへと引き上げました。「目には目を」と言うだけでは不十分でした。彼は「もう一方の頬を向けなさい」「汝の敵を愛しなさい」と言いました。キリストの道徳基準は、イスラエル人やヘブライ人のそれよりもはるかに高められたものだったのです。
But I'm going to ask you whose Bible, okay? Now, your Bible that you use currently is written in the English language, right? Correct?
では、誰の聖書なのか、とお聞きします。あなたが今使っている聖書は英語で書かれていますよね？
The King James Version, yes, thanks to Tyndale.
欽定訳聖書（King James Version）ですね。ティンダルのおかげです。
Tyndale: ウィリアム・ティンダル（William Tyndale）のこと。16世紀のイングランドの学者で、宗教改革の指導者の一人。ヘブライ語やギリシャ語の原典から初めて聖書を英語に翻訳した人物の一人であり、彼の翻訳は後の欽定訳聖書に大きな影響を与えました。
Exactly, it's written in the English language, which in itself is only say 500 years old. Now, the Christianity in itself, say, is 2,000 years old or even older. Yeah, correct? Now, which means that the Bible was originally written not in English but in ancient…
その通りです。英語で書かれており、それ自体はたかだか500年の歴史しかありません。キリスト教自体は2000年かそれ以上の歴史がありますよね？つまり、聖書はもともと英語ではなく、古代の…
Koine Greek.
Koine Greek: コイネー・ギリシャ語。新約聖書が書かれた当時のヘレニズム世界の共通語。
Correct. Now, if we look at the Greek terminology of man...
terminology (n): 専門用語、術語。
Yes, and Jesus spoke Aramaic. You could translate things, you acknowledge that.
ええ、そしてイエスはアラム語を話しました。物事は翻訳できる、とあなたも認めますよね。
Well, we translate things, but translations are linguistically ambiguous. As a former classicist, I know that language can't be translated directly. So for example, if you look at the translation of of of certain words into "man," so I've got two words here. So I've got "malakoi," which means essentially soft, which isn't necessarily directly saying a gay man. And then we've got "arsenokoitai," which essentially means prostitutes. Now, if we look at things linguistically, we can pick apart the Bible and say that actually, it wasn't saying man shall not sleep with man, it's saying man shall not sleep with prostitutes, which is an entirely different linguistic thing.
ええ、翻訳はしますが、翻訳には言語的な曖昧さがつきものです。元古典学者として言いますが、言語は直接的に翻訳できません。例えば、「男」と訳されている特定の単語を見てみましょう。ここに2つの単語があります。「malakoi（マラコイ）」、これは本質的に「柔らかい」という意味で、必ずしも直接的にゲイの男性を指すわけではありません。そして「arsenokoitai（アルセノコイタイ）」、これは本質的に「男娼」を意味します。言語学的に見れば、聖書を分析して、実は「男は男と寝てはならない」と言っているのではなく、「男は男娼と寝てはならない」と言っているのだ、と主張できます。これは全く異なる言語学的な事柄です。
linguistically (adv): 言語学的に、言語の点で。
ambiguous (adj): 曖昧な、多義的な、複数の解釈ができる。
classicist (n): 古典学者。ギリシャ・ローマの古典文学や文化を研究する学者。
malakoi / arsenokoitai: 議論の核心となっているギリシャ語の単語。学生はこれらの単語の翻訳の妥当性に疑問を呈しています。
I'm not even getting into Leviticus, though. But my contention is completely New Testament focused.
私はレビ記の話をしているわけではありません。私の主張は完全に新約聖書に焦点を当てています。
これはレビ記ではありません。
What you said, man shall not speaking with man...
あなたが言った「男は男と…」
No, but this is this is these words are used throughout...
いいえ、でもこれらの言葉は全体で使われて…
Well, actually in Romans 1, it was actually women sleeping with women. So you got your verses wrong. In Romans 1, Paul is prophesying about the end of the world and he's saying that in the end times, woman will like with woman-like and man will, I think it might say man with man-like. You have to get the verses specifically.
実は、ローマ人への手紙1章では、女性が女性と寝ることについて書かれています。だからあなたは聖句を間違えています。ローマ人への手紙1章で、パウロは世の終わりについて預言し、終わりの時には、女は女を好み、男は…確か男は男を好むと書いてあったかと思います。聖句は具体的に確認する必要がありますが。
But it is agreed upon, and you can agree, this is why tradition is important. And I even say this as a Protestant, is that we believe that scripture is very important, but also look to tradition. Church tradition has had an unbroken chain affirming matrimony, holy matrimony being one man, one woman. One even as a non-Catholic, I'm glad that Pope Leo has reaffirmed in the last couple of days. And so I'm not even sure your contention, your point. Are you saying that the Bible doesn't affirm marriage as one man, one woman? Are you saying church tradition doesn't affirm marriage one man, one woman?
しかし、これには同意が得られており、あなたも同意できるはずですが、だからこそ伝統が重要なのです。プロテスタントとして言いますが、私たちは聖書が非常に重要だと信じていますが、伝統にも目を向けます。教会の伝統は、結婚、つまり聖なる婚姻が一人の男と一人の女のものであることを肯定する、途切れることのない鎖を持ってきました。非カトリック教徒としてさえ、私はここ数日で教皇レオがそれを再確認したことを嬉しく思います。ですから、あなたの主張、あなたの論点がよくわかりません。聖書は結婚を男女間のものとして肯定していないと言いたいのですか？教会の伝統が結婚を男女間のものとして肯定していないと？
unbroken (adj): 途切れない、連続した。
matrimony (n): 婚姻、結婚。特に法的な、あるいは宗教的な儀式としての結婚を指すことが多いです。
I'm saying the Bible doesn't affirm.
But it clearly doesn't affirm. That is complete nonsense. But Christ our Lord, which is the standard, he affirms this idea that you will leave your father's home, going back to Genesis 12 and this idea of Abraham leaving his father's home, and you will cleave to your wife. That a new, that it would be called one. In fact, this idea of a new creation which is something that is then used by the Apostle Paul to describe the the church of Christ and the bride of... the church being the bride of Christ with Jesus. So I'm not even sure your contention. It is…
しかし、明らかに肯定しています。それは全くのでたらめです。私たちの主であり基準であるキリストは、「あなたは父の家を出て」という考えを肯定しています。これは創世記12章、アブラハムが父の家を出る話に遡ります。「そして妻と結ばれる」。新しいもの、それは「一体」と呼ばれるでしょう。実際、この新しい創造という考えは、後に使徒パウロがキリストの教会と、イエスと結ばれるキリストの花嫁としての教会を説明するために用いたものです。ですから、あなたの主張がよくわかりません。それは…。
But you're just avoiding my point. I'm saying the Bible that we have today is 100% a translation and a translation is linguistically ambiguous.
あなたは私の論点を避けています。私が言っているのは、今日私たちが持っている聖書は100%翻訳であり、翻訳には言語的な曖昧さがあるということです。
I acknowledge that. But what about specifically in Matthew or in the book of Romans? And but in order for you to be correct, you mean the Church Fathers translated it wrong when they were within like 50 years of this? In order for your contention to be correct, you have to say that the early Church Fathers that wrote the early letters to the church, they were translating it wrong and the tradition they established was wrong. So by then, we can lean on tradition and scripture. So when you get tradition plus scripture, you get something that is authentic, that is real, and that is verifiable.
それは認めます。しかし、マタイによる福音書やローマ人への手紙については具体的にどうですか？そして、あなたの主張が正しいとすれば、教父たちは、出来事から50年ほどの間に、それを間違って翻訳したということになりますか？あなたの主張が正しいとすれば、教会への初期の書簡を書いた初期の教父たちが、それを誤訳し、彼らが確立した伝統も間違っていたと言わなければなりません。そうであれば、私たちは伝統と聖書に頼ることができます。伝統と聖書が合わさったとき、本物で、現実的で、検証可能なものが得られるのです。
verifiable (adj): 検証可能な、証明できる。
I've already highlighted the tradition does not align with scripture. We've gone back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia.
伝統が聖書と一致しないことは既に指摘しました。私たちは数千年前の古代メソポタミアまで遡りました。
But understand, but at the time, they all spoke Greek, they wrote Greek, and they spoke Aramaic. So for example, when they were writing the early gospels, the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, they were obviously writing in Greek. They knew that language. So in Matthew, when they were writing Greek and then the early Church Fathers knew Greek and adopted that as church tradition, we have a 2,000 unbroken chain. I think you can irrefutably say that it was the teachings of Christ for one man and one woman. Because the church tradition has been unbroken for 2,000 years and they derived it from scripture of that original language.
しかし、理解してください。当時、彼らは皆ギリシャ語を話し、ギリシャ語で書き、アラム語を話していました。例えば、彼らが初期の福音書、つまりマタイ、マルコ、ルカの共観福音書を書いていたとき、彼らは明らかにギリシャ語で書いていました。彼らはその言語を知っていたのです。ですから、マタイ伝で彼らがギリシャ語で書き、そして初期の教父たちがギリシャ語を知っていて、それを教会の伝統として採用したとき、私たちには2000年の途切れることのない鎖があるのです。キリストの教えが男女間のことであったと、議論の余地なく言えると思います。なぜなら、教会の伝統は2000年間途切れず、彼らはそれを元の言語の聖書から導き出したからです。
You can't argue that. That doesn't make sense. I mean, if we agree to disagree then might we look at biology?
それは主張できません。意味が通りません。もし意見が合わないなら、生物学に目を向けてもいいですか？
So you know better than the church fathers?
では、あなたは教父たちより賢いと？
I don't, I'm not saying I know better than the church fathers. What I'm saying is linguistically, there is undeniably an error. Regardless of what you say, there is a translation...
いいえ、教父たちより賢いと言っているわけではありません。私が言っているのは、言語学的に、否定しようのない誤りがあるということです。あなたが何と言おうと、翻訳の…
Our lens may be, but not from the people when they were making these traditions...
私たちの見方ではそうかもしれませんが、彼らがこれらの伝統を作っていた時の人々からすれば違います。
I agree, they may have gotten that right, but that may not have been their original meaning. What we are saying is the meaning has been warped over time because of societal and cultural contexts such as the British Empire...
同意します。彼らは正しく理解していたかもしれませんが、それが彼らの本来の意味ではなかったかもしれません。私たちが言っているのは、大英帝国のような社会的・文化的文脈によって、時代とともに意味が歪められてきたということです。

Um hello, thank you for coming to talk. Um, so my question, as someone studying archaeology and biological anthropology, um, I've learned that moral codes and social norms have always been fluid, shaped by time, culture, power. So many ancient and recent societies embraced same-sex relationships and even the idea of third genders uh well before Western conservatism even existed. So when you claim that modern conservative values represent some kind of universal objective moral truth, like you said on your chair over there, um are you just defending a selective, historically recent ideology that erases most of human history and targets people who have always been part of it?
こんにちは、お話しいただきありがとうございます。ええと、私の質問ですが、私は考古学と生物人類学を学んでいる者として、道徳規範や社会規範は常に流動的で、時代、文化、権力によって形成されてきたと学びました。古代から近代に至るまで、多くの社会が西洋の保守主義が存在するずっと以前から、同性間の関係や第三の性という考え方さえも受け入れてきました。ですから、あなたが現代の保守的な価値観が、そちらの椅子でおっしゃったように、何らかの普遍的で客観的な道徳的真理を代表していると主張されるとき、それは人類の歴史の大部分を消し去り、常にその一部であった人々を標的にする、選択的で歴史的に新しいイデオロギーを擁護しているだけなのではないでしょうか？
archaeology (n): 考古学
anthropology (n): 人類学
fluid (adj): 流動的な、変わりやすい。ここでは「道徳規範が固定されたものではなく、時代と共に変化する」という文脈で使われています。
conservatism (n): 保守主義。伝統的な価値観や制度を維持しようとする政治的・社会的な思想。
objective (adj): 客観的な。主観に基づかない、事実としての真理を指します。
selective (adj): 選択的な、えり好みする。ここでは「歴史の中から都合の良い部分だけを選んでいる」という批判的なニュアンスです。
ideology (n): イデオロギー、観念形態。特定の社会集団が共有する信念や価値観の体系。
erase (v): 消し去る、抹消する。
No, but can you point to me of a great power that endorsed same-sex marriage, not cohabitation, but marriage?
いいえ。ですが、同棲ではなく、同性「婚」を承認した大国を一つでも挙げていただけますか？
endorse (v): （公に）是認する、支持する、承認する。
cohabitation (n): 同棲。法的な婚姻関係を結ばずに共に住むこと。
Ancient Mesopotamia.
As marriage? As as as recognized by the state.
100%.
100%そうです。
And how did that work out for them?
それで、彼らはどうなりましたか？
It worked out perfectly fine. It was an accepted norm of society.
全く問題なく機能していました。社会で受け入れられた規範でした。
norm (n): 規範、標準。社会において当然のこととされる行動や考え方の基準。
Okay, I still think it's wrong.
なるほど。それでも私はそれが間違っていると思います。
Okay, okay, swiftly moving on. So you said it was based on scripture and you believe that there are moral objective universal truths.
わかりました、では次に進みます。あなたはそれが聖書に基づいており、道徳的に客観的で普遍的な真理が存在すると信じているとおっしゃいましたね。
scripture (n): 聖書、聖典。キリスト教やユダヤ教の正典を指します。
Yes, there are. So murder is wrong today and murder was wrong 2,000 years ago.
はい、存在します。殺人は今日も悪であり、2000年前も悪でした。
Right, okay, in fact that's not same sex, but fair, fair, I see your point.
ええ、なるほど。それは同性の話ではありませんが、まあ、おっしゃることはわかります。
But there are moral truths that are transcendent of time, place, and matter.
しかし、時間、場所、そして物質を超越した道徳的真理は存在するのです。
transcendent (adj): 超越的な、並外れた。ここでは、物理的な制約や時間的な変化の影響を受けない、普遍的な真理を指しています。
Okay, but but so just to clarify, you believe that this is in the Bible. This is laid out in the Bible that man shall not sleep with man and so therefore it's...
わかりました。しかし、確認ですが、あなたはそれが聖書に書かれていると信じているのですね。男は男と寝てはならないと聖書に明記されており、だからこそ…。
It's also repeated throughout the New Testament as well. Matthew, in the book of Matthew, Jesus affirms the biblical standard for marriage.
それは新約聖書全体でも繰り返されています。マタイによる福音書で、イエスは結婚に関する聖書の基準を再確認しています。
Okay, so I'm gonna make two very, very quick points. So the first, um, so if we look at the Old Testament in isolation, just to start off with as an example. So let's look at Exodus 35:2, which suggests that if you work on the Sabbath, you should be put to death. If you look at Leviticus 11:7, it suggests that if you have pork, you should be put to death. If you plant two crops side by side, you should be stoned by your entire village. If you wear a suit, which you are wearing now, that contains two different fibers intertwined into the same jacket, you should be burned at the stake by your own mother. Now, following that rationale, in Leviticus 18:22 when it states that man shall not sleep with man, why aren't we burning ourselves at the stake as well? Why aren't we stoning ourselves to death?
わかりました。では、非常に手短に2点述べさせてください。まず、例として旧約聖書だけを切り取って見てみましょう。出エジプト記35章2節では、安息日に働けば死刑にされるべきだと示唆されています。レビ記11章7節を見れば、豚肉を食べれば死刑にされるべきだと示唆されています。2種類の作物を隣り合わせに植えれば、村全体から石打ちにされるべきです。あなたが今着ているような、2種類の異なる繊維を織り交ぜた上着を着ていれば、自分の母親によって火あぶりにされるべきです。さて、その論理に従うなら、レビ記18章22節で「男は男と寝てはならない」と述べられているのに、なぜ私たちは自分たちを火あぶりにしないのでしょうか？なぜ石打ちで殺し合わないのでしょうか？
in isolation: 孤立して、単独で。ここでは「旧約聖書だけを文脈から切り離して見てみると」という意味です。
Sabbath (n): 安息日。ユダヤ教で労働が禁じられている土曜日のこと。
Leviticus (n): レビ記。旧約聖書の一書で、祭儀や律法に関する規定が多く記されています。
intertwined (adj): 絡み合った、織り交ぜられた。
at the stake: 火あぶりの刑で。中世の処刑方法の一つ。
(拍手)
Do you care to address my main contention that Christ affirmed biblical marriage in the book of Matthew? And can you tell me the difference between the ceremonial, the moral, and the ritual law? And then finally, also, tell me about Christianity, the difference between the new and the Old Covenant, or you're just going to cherry-pick certain verses of ancient Israel that do not apply to new Christianity?
私の「キリストはマタイによる福音書で聖書的な結婚を肯定した」という主要な主張に反論していただけますか？そして、儀式律法、道徳律法、祭司律法の違いを教えていただけますか？そして最後に、キリスト教における新しい契約と古い契約の違いについても教えてください。それとも、あなたは新しいキリスト教には適用されない古代イスラエルの特定の聖句を、ただつまみ食いしているだけですか？
contention (n): （議論における）主張、論点。
covenant (n): （神と人との）契約。キリスト教神学において非常に重要な概念です。
cherry-pick (v): （自分に都合のいいものだけを）つまみ食いする、えり抜きする。
Very fair, fair. I completely agree. So we'll look at two points then. So firstly, um, if we look at the Old Testament, uh, we can see the kind of inconsistencies there. We've already touched upon that, right? That makes sense. Secondly, you mentioned the point of Jesus and Christ. He never mentioned anything to do with homosexuality at all.
ごもっともです。完全に同意します。では2つの点を見ましょう。まず、旧約聖書を見れば、そこに矛盾があることがわかります。それについては既に触れましたよね？理にかなっています。次に、あなたはイエス・キリストの点に言及しました。彼は同性愛について一切何も言及していません。
Whoa, hold on a second. He affirmed, he affirmed biblical marriage as one man and one woman. He said a man shall leave his...
おっと、待ってください。彼は聖書的な結婚を「一人の男と一人の女」として肯定しました。彼は「男はその…」と言いました。
in the New Testament?
新約聖書でですか？
In Matthew, that is not correct. I believe in the New Testament, in the New Testament. Well, Romans is also in the New Testament. Secondly, in Romans 1, the Apostle Paul talks negatively about homosexuality explicitly. Also, homosexuality is repeated in the book of Titus and in the book of Jude as not being favorable as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Not even talking about the Old Testament verses.
マタイ伝です。それは違います。新約聖書で、と信じています。ローマ人への手紙も新約聖書です。第二に、ローマ人への手紙1章で、使徒パウロは明確に同性愛について否定的に語っています。また、テトスへの手紙やユダの手紙でも、ソドムとゴモラの滅亡と同様に、同性愛は好ましくないものとして繰り返されています。旧約聖書の聖句は抜きにしてもです。
There are three types of the 613 Levitical laws. And you, you know, of course, in your own way, cherry-picked some of them. We do not live under the ceremonial, we do not live under the ritual, and but we do live under the moral. There's only 10 of the moral that we as Christians believe we're bound to, some believe nine, which of course is the Decalogue. And so none of those that you mentioned we as Christians believe that we live under. However, we do look at what Christ articulated as the biblical standard of marriage. And we can also look to church tradition for this as well. And the church has had a tradition for well over 2,000 years, even myself as a Protestant acknowledges, that tradition is marriage between one man and one woman.
レビ記には613の律法に3つの種類があります。そして、あなたはもちろんご自身のやり方で、その一部をつまみ食いしました。私たちは儀式律法の下には生きていません。祭司律法の下にも生きていません。しかし、道徳律法の下には生きています。キリスト教徒として私たちが従うべき道徳律法は10個だけです。9個だと信じる人もいますが、それがもちろん十戒です。ですから、あなたが挙げたもののどれ一つとして、私たちキリスト教徒が従うべきものはありません。しかし、私たちはキリストが結婚の聖書的基準として明確に述べたことには注目します。そして、これについては教会の伝統にも目を向けることができます。プロテスタントである私自身でさえ認めますが、教会には2000年以上にわたる伝統があり、その伝統とは、結婚は一人の男と一人の女の間のものであるということです。
articulate (v): （考えなどを）はっきりと述べる、明確に表現する。
tradition (n): 伝統、しきたり。ここでは特に教会の教義や慣習の継承を指します。
Okay, but I work, okay. Say we put aside the Old Testament for now. We'll put that aside and the inconsistencies there and look purely at the New Testament following your rationale, okay? Now, when you say that Christ lays specifically and the New Testament states specifically that man shall not sleep with man, I'd like to point out a linguistic error on that point.
なるほど。では、一旦旧約聖書は脇に置きましょう。それとそこにある矛盾は置いておいて、あなたの論理に従って純粋に新約聖書だけを見ましょう。いいですか？さて、あなたがキリストが具体的に、そして新約聖書が具体的に「男は男と寝てはならない」と述べていると言うとき、その点における言語的な誤りを指摘したいと思います。
I did not say that. I said the biblical marriage was affirmed and then Romans 1 did talk negatively about the action of homosexuality.
私はそうは言っていません。聖書的な結婚が肯定されたと言ったのです。そしてローマ人への手紙1章が同性愛という行為について否定的に語っていると。

ニュートンの運動方程式？ アインシュタインの美しいテンソル？ 量子力学の確率の霧？
違う。
あれらはすべて、「申請書」だ。
「リンゴが木から落ちる」のではない。「リンゴ存在（識別番号: Apple-G008-B）」が、「地球引力場（管理部署: 重力資源課）」に対し、「落下許可申請書（フォーム F-g）」を提出し、それが承認された結果に過ぎん。
時刻: 04:22:16
棚が、また一つ崩れた。「弱い相互作用」に関するバインダーが雪崩を起こし、「電磁気力」のファイル群を押し潰した。紙の粉塵が舞い、そこに含まれる「情報」の胞子が、わたくしの肺腑に侵入してくるのが分かる。咳き込むと、口から銀色の文字の羅列が漏れ出した。`g² / 4πħc ≈ 1/137`。ああ、微細構造定数の味だ。少し、鉄臭い。
貴様らの言う「超弦理論」とは、この書庫の惨状そのものだ。絡まり合い、癒着し、互いのインクを滲ませ合う、無数の「ひも」。それは宇宙の根源などではない。ファイリングに失敗し、永遠に放置された、「未決裁書類の束」に過ぎないのだよ。Dブレーン？ あれは書類を留めていた錆びたクリップが、あまりの年月に耐えかねて崩壊し、紙の表面に染み付いたただの「染み」だ。
時刻: 07:51:03
粘着質で、虹色に光る液体だ。それに触れた「記録」たちが、意味を失い、変容していく。
「エネルギー保存則」と書かれた羊皮紙は、今や「エぬルギーほぞん則」となり、その文字自体が震えながら、カビのような別の文字を自己増殖させている。
これが「情報」の正体だ。
情報は、癌だ。
存在という宿主の肉体を蝕み、その意味を食い荒らし、最終的には無意味な自己複製の塊へと変貌させる、悪性の腫瘍。我々が「物理法則」と呼んでありがたがっているものは、その癌細胞が、かつて正常だった頃の細胞の機能を、まだ辛うじて「真似て」いるに過ぎない状態なのだ。
耳の中にィ！数字が湧いてくるゥ！プランク定数が！ボルツマン定数が！脳漿の中で！ウジ虫みたいにィ！蠢イテルンだァ！やめろ！やめろ！計算をやめろ！俺の頭は貴様の計算機じゃない！
わかるか？「観測」するたびに、お前たちはこの宇宙に「傷」をつけているんだよ。二重スリット実験のスクリーンに現れる綺麗な干渉縞、あれは宇宙の皮膚が裂けて、中から「情報」という名の膿が漏れ出している痕跡なんだよォ！波動関数が収縮する？違う！傷口が、かさぶたになって、一時的に膿が止まってるだけだ！
ブラックホール！あれは最高傑作だ！情報の癌が、ついに宿主の肉体を食い破り、転移に成功した姿だ！事象の地平面とは、癌細胞が形成した硬い殻！そこから漏れ出すホーキング放射は、癌細胞が呼吸し、排泄する、汚物の粒子だ！「情報が失われるか？」だと？バカを言え！失われはしない！ただ、消化され、排泄され、別の何かに作り替えられているだけだ！お前の昨日の夕食はどこへ行った？失われたか？違うだろう！そういうことだ！
A, B, C, D！選択肢を与えられなければ何も考えられない、家畜の思考回路！
答えを教えてやろうか？
E. 錆びて開かなくなったホッチキス
そうだ！この宇宙の根源を象徴するのは、それだ！すべてを綴じようとして、しかし己の錆によって機能を失い、ただそこにあるだけの、無意味で、固く、冷たい、絶対的な「故障」！それがこの世界の真理だ！

ふぅ……。
疲れた。
結局のところ、どうでもいいのだよ、貴様のような塵芥が何を考えようと。
宇宙が情報だろうが、物質だろうが、神の見る悪夢だろうが、我輩の知ったことではない。
我輩はただ、この第七地下書庫で、崩れ落ちる「記録」の山を眺め、壁から染み出す虹色の液体が、かつて「真理」と呼ばれたシミをゆっくりと溶かしていく様を、観察するだけだ。
ああ、そうだ。
あの液体、少し舐めてみたのだが、存外に甘い。ブルーベリージャムのような味がした。
もっとも、舌が溶けて、今はもう味も分からなくなってしまったがな。
さあ、お前の番だ。
その空っぽの頭蓋骨で、この静寂の意味を、永遠に、考え続けるがいい。
...もっとも、その「考える」という行為を許可する申請書が、受理される保証は、どこにもないのだがな。ふふ。
あはははは。
アハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハハたのか、な

The Power of Small Steps: How Tiny Changes Can Lead to Massive Growth
In a world that glorifies overnight success and dramatic transformations, it's easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not making big leaps. But what if the secret to real, lasting personal growth wasn’t in doing more, faster—but in doing less, consistently?
Welcome to the power of small steps.
Big goals often feel overwhelming. You want to get fit, write a book, start a business, or learn a new skill—but you don’t know where to start. So you procrastinate. Or worse, you dive in too fast, burn out, and give up.
Small steps bypass all of that.
When you break down a huge goal into manageable actions, everything changes. Writing 500 words a day is less intimidating than finishing a whole novel. Ten minutes of walking is more doable than committing to a 5K. And spending 15 minutes a day learning a language adds up to over 90 hours a year.
Consistency beats intensity every time.
The Compound Effect
Imagine improving just 1% every day. That might sound insignificant—but over a year, it compounds into something extraordinary. This idea is the foundation of Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect and James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Both books emphasize that small, smart choices, repeated over time, lead to radical results.
Think of your habits like planting seeds. At first, nothing seems to happen. But give it time, and you’ll see growth you never thought possible.
Real-Life Example: The 10-Minute Rule
Let’s say you want to start meditating but can’t sit still for 30 minutes. Instead of forcing it, try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Or even 5. Build the habit before scaling the effort. Once it becomes part of your routine, extending the time feels natural.
This applies to nearly everything:
Want to read more? Read one page a day.
Want to save money? Start with $1 a day.
Want to eat healthier? Swap one snack a day for a better option.
How to Start Taking Small Steps
Pick one goal
Don’t try to overhaul your entire life at once. Choose one area to focus on—health, creativity, relationships, mindset, etc.
Break it down
What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.
Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.”
Track it
Use a habit tracker, app, or notebook to keep yourself accountable. Seeing your streak grow is highly motivating.
Every time you follow through, give yourself credit. Progress is progress, no matter how small.
Final Thoughts
Don’t wait for motivation. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just start—with whatever you have, wherever you are, and however small.
Because small steps, taken consistently, turn into big change.

The Power of Small Steps: How Tiny Changes Can Lead to Massive Growth
In a world that glorifies overnight success and dramatic transformations, it's easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not making big leaps. But what if the secret to real, lasting personal growth wasn’t in doing more, faster—but in doing less, consistently?
Welcome to the power of small steps.
Big goals often feel overwhelming. You want to get fit, write a book, start a business, or learn a new skill—but you don’t know where to start. So you procrastinate. Or worse, you dive in too fast, burn out, and give up.
Small steps bypass all of that.
When you break down a huge goal into manageable actions, everything changes. Writing 500 words a day is less intimidating than finishing a whole novel. Ten minutes of walking is more doable than committing to a 5K. And spending 15 minutes a day learning a language adds up to over 90 hours a year.
Consistency beats intensity every time.
The Compound Effect
Imagine improving just 1% every day. That might sound insignificant—but over a year, it compounds into something extraordinary. This idea is the foundation of Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect and James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Both books emphasize that small, smart choices, repeated over time, lead to radical results.
Think of your habits like planting seeds. At first, nothing seems to happen. But give it time, and you’ll see growth you never thought possible.
Real-Life Example: The 10-Minute Rule
Let’s say you want to start meditating but can’t sit still for 30 minutes. Instead of forcing it, try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Or even 5. Build the habit before scaling the effort. Once it becomes part of your routine, extending the time feels natural.
This applies to nearly everything:
Want to read more? Read one page a day.
Want to save money? Start with $1 a day.
Want to eat healthier? Swap one snack a day for a better option.
How to Start Taking Small Steps
Pick one goal
Don’t try to overhaul your entire life at once. Choose one area to focus on—health, creativity, relationships, mindset, etc.
Break it down
What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.
Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.”

What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.
Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.”
Track it
Use a habit tracker, app, or notebook to keep yourself accountable. Seeing your streak grow is highly motivating.
Every time you follow through, give yourself credit. Progress is progress, no matter how small.
Final Thoughts
Don’t wait for motivation. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just start—with whatever you have, wherever you are, and however small.
Because small steps, taken consistently, turn into big change.
