A Foreword
I visited Manila in early October of 1994. Some very concerned young people from the church in Pasay City, Metro Manila, came to see me. Among them was a young brother who had participated in a special young people’s training in Metro Manila. At that training, they were strongly compelled to raise up their hands and declare loudly and repeatedly, “Hallelujah, I am a baby God, I am a holy God, I am God!”
一九九四年十月初我访问马尼拉，有一些非常关切的年轻弟兄，从中马尼拉（Metro Manila）的巴沙市（Pasay City）来见我。其中有一位曾参加过在中马尼拉的一个特别的年轻人训练。训练里，他们被强烈的逼着要举臂高呼，重复宣告：「哈利路亚，我是个小神，我是神圣的神，我是神！」
This particular young man refused to make such a declaration and was consequently dismissed from the training for being “rebellious.” Some of these trainees also attended the Sunday morning meeting at the church in Pasay City, and there they shouted that they were Gods. I was told that they cited Psalm 82:6, John 10:34-36, and also I John 3:2 in order to convince others that such proclamations were fully scriptural. In the course of our fellowship, these concerned young believers earnestly requested that I write a paper on these verses to help others to be clear regarding the context of these scriptures.
这个特别的年轻人拒绝做这样的宣告，因此就被退训，因为他「背叛」。一些受训者也参加巴沙市主日早晨的聚会，在那里他们喊着说他们是神。别人告诉我，他们引用诗八十二6、约十34～36、和约壹三2的话，为要说服别人说他们的宣告完全合乎圣经。在我们交通的过程中，这些关切的年轻信徒恳切地请求我，写篇关于这些经节的文章，来帮助别人清楚这几处圣经的上下文。
Due to the urgency of the situation, and in order to avoid confusion and division in the church in Pasay City, I quickly wrote a four-page article entitled “I Myself Am Just a Man” on October 12, 1994, and an explanation of these verses. To my utter surprise, I was told a couple of months later that four people had written a whole book accusing me of having allegedly written a book entitled “The Worst Blasphemous Words of Witness Lee against God.” God knows that I never wrote a book with such a title! I just ignored the whole matter. There were even some individuals who wrote me to request copies of the alleged title after reading their book. It just came to my attention recently that some of Witness Lee’s followers had even taken the trouble to travel to Paris to confuse the brothers by spreading the allegation.
因为情况的紧急，也为着避免巴沙市教会的混乱和分裂，我很快地在一九九四年十月十二日写了四页的文章，名为「我也是人」，并解释这些经节。完全出乎我意料之外的，几个月后有人告诉我，有四个人写了一整本书控告我，说我声明写了一书，名为「李常受亵渎神最恶毒的话」。神知道我未曾写一本名为这样的书！我对整件事全然不知。甚至有人读了他们的书之后，私下写信给我，向我要所谓声明的书。最近我也注意到，一些李常受的跟随者，借着散布这个声明，甚至把麻烦带到巴黎，混乱那里的弟兄们。
Therefore, after much consideration before the Lord, I feel the need to print the article which I wrote last October in the Philippines to clear up some confusion. I do hope that whoever reads this may receive some help regarding scriptural truths.
Apart from some minor editing, the content of this article has remained the same as the original.

因此，经过在主前许多的考虑，我觉得需要印出我去年十月在菲律宾所写的文章，以清除混淆。我实在盼望任何读这文章的人，都能从圣经的真理得些帮助。
除了些许编排外，本文内容仍维持与原稿相同。

"I MYSELF ALSO AM A MAN"
Recently, many dear brothers and sisters have been confused by the serious heretical teaching that man can become god (or God). The main verses that these heretics misuse are Psalm 82:6, John 10:3436, and I John 3:2. In order to help the believers, I would like to briefly explain these portions of the scriptures in their context. May the Lord grant us a spirit of wisdom and revelation.
最近，许多亲爱的弟兄姊妹，一直被严重的异端教训，就是人可以成为神所困惑。这些异端所误用的经节主要是诗八十二6、约十34～36、和约壹三2。为了帮助信徒，我愿意简单地，照着上下文来解释这些经文。愿主赐给我们智慧和启示的灵！
