AC.377, 창4:10, '이르시되 네가 무엇을 하였느냐' (AC.373-377)

10절, 이르시되 네가 무엇을 하였느냐 네 아우의 핏소리가 땅에서부터 내게 호소하느니라 And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s bloods crieth to me from the ground.

 

377

That the “ground” here signifies a schism or heresy, is evident from the fact that a “field” signifies doctrine, and therefore the “ground,” having the field in it, is a schism. Man himself is the “ground,” and also the “field,” because these things are inseminated in him, for man is man from what is inseminated in him, a good and true man from goods and truths, an evil and false man from evils and falsities. He who is in any particular doctrine or heresy is named from it, and so in the passage before us the term “ground” is used to denote a schism or heresy in man.
