论基督教对人的本质的理解

The Christian Understanding of Human Nature

基督教是以善恶观为切入点,从神学本体论的角度理解人的本质的。它认为人的本质是原罪,因为原罪,又带来了其他的罪恶。所以,人是与罪恶相伴的存在。正因为如此,人是有限的存在,注定了人的悲剧性处境。人无法自救,必须要依靠神恩的拯救。基督教的原罪观看起来经不起理性的推敲,但拨开宗教表象的话,它体现的是一种对人的存在的辩证理解。

Christian takes the concept of good and evil as the starting point,understanding human nature from a view of theological ontology. It believes that human nature is sin because of original sin which also brings other crimes. So human co-exists with evil. As a result,human is a limited existence which dooms human's tragic situation. People can not help themselves and have to rely on divine salvation. Although Christian view of original sin looks confusing,with brushing aside religious representation,it reflects the dialectical understanding of human existence.
