Ingxaki esisiseko

NDINE ifumene ii-imeyile ezininzi, ezinye zivela kumaKhatholika angaqinisekanga ukuba angaphendula njani amalungu osapho “lweeVangeli”, kwaye amanye avela kubungqongqo abaqinisekileyo ukuba iCawa yamaKatolika ayiyoyabhayibhile okanye ayisiyobuKrestu. Iileta ezininzi zazinenkcazo ende yokuba kutheni bazive esi sibhalo sithetha oku kwaye kutheni Ndicinga esi sicatshulwa sithetha ukuba. Emva kokufunda ezi leta, kwaye ndiqwalasele iiyure eziza kuthatha ukubaphendula, ndiye ndacinga ukuba ndiza kuthetha endaweni yoko le ingxaki esisiseko: Ngubani kanye onegunya lokutolika isiBhalo?

 

HLOLA INYANISO

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ndenze, thina njengamaKatolika kufuneka samkele into. Ngokuvela kwangaphandle, kwaye ngokwenyani kwiicawa ezininzi, asibonakali ngathi singabantu abaphilayo elukholweni, esivutha ngenzondelelo ngoKristu nosindiso lwemiphefumlo, njengoko kubonakala rhoqo kwiicawa ezininzi zevangeli. Kananjalo, kunokuba nzima ukweyisela umntu osisiseko senyaniso ngenyaniso yamaKatolika xa ukholo lwamaKatolika luhlala lubonakala lufile, kwaye iBandla lethu lisopha kwisikrelemnqa emva kwehlazo. EMthendelekweni, kudla ngokuthandazelwa xa kuthandazwa. Okubi kakhulu, umntu obukele ngaphandle angathandabuza ukuba nguYesu ngokwenene kwi-Eucharist, esekwe kwindlela amaKatolika afaka ngayo uMthendeleko ngokungathi bafumana ukupasa kwemovie. Inyaniso yile, iCawa yamaKatolika is ngexesha lobunzima. Udinga ukuphinda ashumayele, aphindwe kwakhona, kwaye ahlaziywe ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kufuneka ahlanjululwe kuwexuko olungene kwiindonga zakhe zamandulo njengomsi kaSathana.

Kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba liBandla elixokayo. Ukuba ikhona, luphawu lokuhlaselwa kotshaba ngokungagungqiyo kwiBarque kaPeter.

 

KWEGUNYA LAKWANI?

Ingcinga eqhubekile ingena engqondweni yam xa ndifunda ezo imeyile yile, "Ke, ngubani utoliko lweBhayibhile olulungileyo?" Phantse ngama-60 000 amahlelo emhlabeni kunye nokubala, bonke bebanga oko bona Ngaba une-monopoly ngenyaniso, ukholelwa kubani (ileta yokuqala endiyifumeneyo, okanye ileta evela kulomfo emva koko?) Ndiyathetha, singaphikisana imini yonke malunga nokuba lo mbhalo webhayibhile okanye eso sicatshulwa sithetha oku okanye okuya. Kodwa sazi njani ekupheleni kosuku ukuba yintoni na intsingiselo eyiyo? Iimvakalelo? Ukuthambisa?

Ewe, yile nto iBhayibhile iyithethayo:

Yazini oku kuqala, ukuba akukho siprofeto sesibhalo esingumbandela wokuzitolika, kuba akukho siprofeto sakha savela ngokuthanda komntu; kodwa kunoko abantu abaqhutywa nguMoya oyiNgcwele bathetha phantsi kwempembelelo kaThixo. (2 Pet. 1: 20-21)

Isibhalo xa sisonke ligama lesiprofeto. Akukho Sibhalo singumcimbi wokutolika buqu. Ke, ngubani ochazwa ngokuchanekileyo? Le mpendulo ineziphumo ezibi, kuba uYesu wathi, "Inyaniso iya kunikhulula." Ukuze ndikhululeke, kufuneka ndiyazi inyani ukuze ndiphile kwaye ndihlale kuyo. Ukuba "icawe A" ithi, umzekelo, ukuba uqhawulo-mtshato luvumelekile, kodwa "icawe B" alunjalo, leliphi ibandla elihlala ngokukhululeka? Ukuba "icawe A" ifundisa ukuba awungekhe uphulukane nosindiso lwakho, kodwa "icawe B" lithi unako, leliphi ibandla elikhokelela kwimiphefumlo enkululekweni? Le yimizekelo yokwenyani, eneziphumo zokwenyani kwaye mhlawumbi ezingunaphakade. Ewe kunjalo, impendulo kule mibuzo ivelisa uthotho lotoliko oluvela kumaKristu "akholelwa kwibhayibhile" ahlala ethetha kakuhle, kodwa ephikisana ngokupheleleyo.

Ngaba ngokwenene uKristu wakha iBandla ngokungacwangciswanga, isiphithiphithi, nokuphikisana oku?

 

YINTONI IBHAYIBHILE- KUNYE AYIKHO

Abaxhasi bobufundamentali bathi yiBhayibhile kuphela komthombo wenyaniso yobuKristu. Ukanti, akukho Sibhalo sixhasa le ngcamango. IBhayibhile ntoni uthi:

Zonke izibhalo ziphefumlelwe nguThixo kwaye ziluncedo ekufundiseni, ekuchazeni, ekulungiseni nasekuqeqesheni ebulungiseni, ukuze umntu kaThixo abe nokufanelekela, exhobele wonke umsebenzi olungileyo. (2 Tim 3: 16-17)

Okwangoku, oku akuthethi nto malunga nokuba yiyo wedwa igunya okanye isiseko senyaniso, kuphela kukuba iphefumlelwe, kwaye ke iyinyani. Ngapha koko, eli nqaku libhekisa ngqo kwiTestamente eNdala kuba kwakungekho "iTestamente eNtsha" okwangoku. Oko akuzange kuhlanganiswe ngokupheleleyo de kube yinkulungwane yesine.

IBhayibhile ntoni Unento yokuthetha, nangona kunjalo, malunga nantoni is isiseko senyaniso:

Kufuneka uyazi indlela yokuziphatha endlwini kaThixo, eyicawe kaThixo ophilileyo, intsika nesiseko senyaniso. (1 Tim.3: 15)

The Icawe kaThixo ophilileyo Yintsika nesiseko senyaniso. Kuvela eCaweni, ke, apho inyaniso ivelayo, oko kukuthi, i ILizwi likaThixo. “Heke!” Utsho umgaqo osisiseko. “Ke iLizwi likaThixo is inyani." Ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa iLizwi elinikwe iBandla lalithethiwe, lingabhalwanga nguKristu. UYesu akazange abhale nelinye igama (kwaye namazwi akhe awazange abhalwe phantsi de kwaba yiminyaka kamva). ILizwi likaThixo liyiNyaniso engabhalwanga eyadluliselwa nguYesu kubaPostile. Inxalenye yeli Lizwi yabhalwa phantsi ngoonobumba kunye neencwadi zevangeli, kodwa ayizizo zonke. Sazi njani? Okokuqala, iSibhalo ngokwaso sisixelela ukuba:

Zininzi nezinye izinto awazenzayo uYesu, kodwa ukuba bezinokuchazwa ngokwahlukeneyo, andicingi ukuba ilizwe liphela liza kuba neencwadi eziza kubhalwa. (UYohane 21:25)

Siyazi ngokwenyani ukuba ukutyhilwa kukaYesu kwaziswa ngazo zombini ezi ndlela zibhaliweyo, nangelizwi lomlomo.

Ndinezinto ezininzi zokukubhalela, kodwa andinqweneli kukubhala ngosiba nangeinki. Ndiyathemba ke ukuba ndokubona kwakufuphi nje, xa sithetha ubuso ngobuso. (3 Yohane 13-14)

Yile nto iCawa yamaKatolika ibiza ngokuba yiNkcubeko: zombini ebhaliweyo kunye nenyaniso yomlomo. Igama elithi "isiko" livela kwisiLatin Ishishini Oko kukuthi "ukuhambisa". Isithethe somlomo sasiyinxalenye ephambili yenkcubeko yamaJuda kunye nendlela iimfundiso ezazidluliselwa ngayo ukusuka kwinkulungwane kuye kwinkulungwane. Ewe kunjalo, umgaqo-siseko ucaphula uMarko 7: 9 okanye u-Col 2: 8 ukuthi iSibhalo siyasigxeka isithethe, sityeshela inyani yokuba kwezo ndima uYesu wayegxeka imithwalo emininzi ebekwe kubantu bakwa-Israyeli ngabaFarisi, hayi uThixo- Isiko elinikwe kwiTestamente eNdala. Ukuba loo mihlathi ibiyigxeka le Siko liyinyani, ibhayibhile iyaziphikisa:

Ngoko ke, bazalwana, yimani niqinile, nizibambe izithethe enazifundiswayo, nokuba kungelizwi, nokuba kungencwadi yethu. (2 Tes. 2:15)

Kwaye kwakhona,

Ndiyanincoma, kuba nindikhumbula ngeendawo zonke, nizibambile izithethe, njengoko ndaninikelayo. (1 Kor. 11: 2). Qaphela ukuba i-King James yamaProtestanti kunye neenguqulelo ze-New American Standard zisebenzisa igama elithi "isiko" ngelixa i-NIV edumileyo iguqulela igama elithi "iimfundiso" eliguqulelwe kakubi kumthombo wokuqala, i-Vulgate yesiLatin.

Isiko abalindi beCawe elibizwa ngokuba "yidiphozithi yokholo": konke oko uKristu wakufundisayo wakutyhilela abaPostile. Babekwa ityala lokufundisa eli Siko kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba le Idiphozithi yadluliselwa ngokuthembekileyo ukusuka kwisizukulwana ukuya kwisizukulwana. Benza njalo ngomlomo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngeleta okanye ileta.

Icawa ikwanamasiko, abizwa ngokuchanekileyo njengezithethe, ngendlela abantu abanamasiko osapho ngayo. Oku kungabandakanya imithetho eyenziwe ngumntu enjengokungatyi nyama ngolwesiHlanu, ukuzila ukutya ngoLwesithathu we-Ash, kwanokungatshati kwabefundisi -zonke ezo zinokulungiswa okanye zinikezelwe nguPopu owanikwa amandla “okubopha nokukhulula” ( Mat 16:19). Isiko elingcwele, nangona kunjalo-iLizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo nelingabhalwanga—ayinakutshintshwa. Ngapha koko, oko uKristu watyhila iLizwi laKhe kwiminyaka engama-2000 eyadlulayo, akakho uPapa owakhe walitshintsha eli Siko, a ubungqina obupheleleyo kumandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele kunye nesithembiso sokhuselo lukaKristu ukukhusela iBandla lakhe kumasango esihogo (jonga uMat 16:18).

 

IMPUMELELO YABAPOSTILE: IBHAYIBHILE?

Ke sisondela ekuphenduleni ingxaki esisiseko: ngubani ke onegunya lokutolika isiBhalo? Impendulo ibonakala ngathi iyaziveza: ukuba aba Bapostile ngabo bamvayo uKrestu eshumayela, emva koko bahlawuliswa ngokudlulisa ezo mfundiso, kufanelekile ukuba babe ngabo abagwebayo ukuba akukho mfundiso ifundiswayo okanye ibhaliweyo. inyani. Kodwa kuyakwenzeka ntoni emva kokuba abapostile beswelekile? Inyaniso yayiya kudluliselwa njani ngokuthembeka kwizizukulwana ezizayo?

Sifunda ukuba abaPostile bahlawulisa amanye amadoda ukudlulisa eli “Siko liphilayo.” AmaKatolika abiza la madoda ngokuthi “ngabalandeli” boMpostile. Kodwa abo bakholelwa kwizinto ezisisiseko bathi ubupostile babuyile ngabantu. Ayisiyo le nto ithethwa yiBhayibhile.

Emva kokuba uKrestu enyukele ezulwini, kwabakho abalandeli abambalwa babafundi. Kwigumbi eliphezulu, ikhulu elinamashumi amabini kubo bahlanganisana kubandakanya abaPostile abalishumi elinanye abaseleyo. Isenzo sabo sokuqala yayikuku indawo kaYudas.

Baza ke benza amaqashiso kubo, lathi iqashiso laphuma noMatiya, wabalwa kunye nabapostile abalishumi elinamnye. (IZenzo 1: 26)

UJustus, owayenganyulwanga ngaphezu kukaMatiya, wayesengumlandeli. Kodwa uMatiya “wabalwa kunye nabapostile abalishumi elinanye.” Kodwa kutheni? Kutheni kufuneka ubeke endaweni kaJudas ukuba baninzi abalandeli abaneleyo? Kuba uYudas, njengabanye abalishumi elinanye, wanikwa igunya elilodwa nguYesu, iofisi ekungekho banye abafundi okanye amakholwa ayenayo-kubandakanya nonina.

Wayebalwe phakathi kwethu kwaye wabelwa isabelo kolu lungiselelo… Ngamana omnye angathatha iofisi yakhe. (IZe. 1:17, 20); Qaphela ukuba amatye esiseko seYerusalem eNtsha kwisiTyhilelo 21:14 abhalwe amagama abapostile abalishumi elinambini, hayi abalishumi elinanye. Ngokucacileyo, uJudas wayengenguye omnye wabo, ke ngoko, uMatiya kufuneka abe lilitye leshumi elinambini eliseleyo, egqibezela isiseko elakhelwe phezu kwalo lonke iBandla (cf. Efe 2: 20).

Emva kokwehla kukaMoya oyiNgcwele, igunya lobupostile ladluliselwa ekubekweni kwezandla (ukubona Eyoku-1 kuTimoti 4:14; 5:22; Izenzo 14:23). Yayisisenzo esomeleleyo, njengoko sisiva kumlandeli wesine kaPeter owayelawula ngexesha umpostile uYohane wayesaphila:

Emaphandleni nasemizini [abapostile] bashumayela, kwaye bamisela abaguqukayo babo bokuqala, bebavavanya ngoMoya, ukuba babe ngoobhishophu nabadikoni bamakholwa angomso. Kwaye oku kwakungeyonto intsha, kuba oobhishophu nabadikoni babebhalwe malunga nexesha elidlulileyo. . . [bona 1 Tim 3: 1, 8; 5:17] Abapostile bethu babesazi ngeNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu ukuba kuyakubakho iingxwabangxwaba kwisikhundla sobhishophu. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ke ngoko, ekubeni besazi kwangaphambili kwangaphambili, babenyula abo sele bekhankanyiwe, kwaye emva koko bongeze elinye ilungiselelo lokuba, ukuba bathe bafa, amanye amadoda avunyiweyo aphumelele kubulungiseleli bawo. —IPOPA ST. UCWANGCISO LWEROMA (80 AD), Ileta eya kwabaseKorinte 42:4–5, 44:1–3

 

UKUPHUMELELA KWABASEMAGUNYENI

U-Yesu wanika aba Bapostile, kwaye ngokucacileyo, abalandela emva kwabo, igunya laKhe. 

Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Konke othe wakubopha emhlabeni, koba kubotshiwe nasemazulwini; (Mat 18:18)

Kwaye kwakhona,

Izono ozixolelayo zixolelwe, kwaye izono ozigcinileyo ziyagcinwa. (UYohane 20:22)

UYesu ude athi:

Lowo umamelayo nina uyamamela. Nabani na onigatyayo uyandigatya. (ULuka 10:16)

UYesu uthi nabani na ophulaphula aba Bapostile kunye nabalandela babo, uyammamela! Kwaye siyazi ukuba okusifundisa la madoda kuyinyaniso kuba uYesu wathembisa ukubakhokela. Ethetha nabo bucala kwiSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela, uthe:

… Xa athe weza, uMoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso. (UYohane 16: 12-13)

Olu thando lukaPopu noobhishophu lokufundisa inyaniso "ngokungenakusoleka" belusoloko luqondwa eCaweni kwasekuqaleni kwamaxesha:

Ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndithobele amagosa aseCaweni — abo, njengoko sendibonisile, banelungelo lokungena ezihlangwini zabapostile; abo bathe, kunye nokulandelelana koobhishophu, bafumana uthando olungagungqiyo lwenyaniso, ngokokukholiswa nguBawo. —St. UIrenaeus waseLyons (189 AD), Ngokuchasene ne-Heresies, 4: 33: 8 )

Masiqaphele ukuba kwa kanye isiko, ukufundisa, kunye nokholo lweCawe yamaKatolika kwasekuqaleni, eyanikwa yiNkosi, yashunyayelwa ngaBapostile, yagcinwa ngooTata. ICawa yasekwa phezu koku; kwaye ukuba ubani uyaphuma koku, akasafanele kubizwa ngokuba ungumKristu… —St. UAthanasius (360 AD), Iileta ezine eziya kwiSerapion kaThmius 1, 28

 

IMPENDULO ESISISEKO

Ibhayibhile ayizange yenziwe ngumntu okanye ihanjiswe ziingelosi kuhlobo oluhle olwenziwe ngesikhumba. Ngenkqubo yokuqonda okunzulu okukhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, abalandela babaPostile bamisela ngenkulungwane yesine ukuba yeyiphi imibhalo yemihla yabo eyayiyiNkcubeko eNgcwele- "iLizwi likaThixo" -kwaye ayingomibhalo ephefumlelweyo yeCawa. Yiyo loo nto iVangeli kaTomas, iZenzo zika-St. John, ukunyuka kukaMoses kunye nezinye iincwadi azizange zisikwe. Kodwa iincwadi ezingama-46 zeTestamente eNdala, nezingama-27 zeNtsha zaziqulathe “uluhlu lwemibhalo engcwele” (nangona amaProtestanti kamva azilahla ezinye iincwadi). Abanye babezimisele ngokungabikho kwiDepos of Faith. Oku kwaqinisekiswa ngooBhishophu kumabhunga aseCarthage (393, 397, 419 AD) naseHippo (393 AD). Kuyamangalisa ke ngoko ukuba abo bakholelwa kwizinto ezisisiseko basebenzise iBhayibhile, eyinxalenye yeNkcubeko yamaKatolika, ukuphikisa ubuKatolika.

Konke oku kuthetha ukuba kwakungekho Bhayibhile kwiinkulungwane ezine zokuqala zeCawa. Ke yayiza kufumaneka phi imfundiso yobupostile kunye nobungqina kuyo yonke loo minyaka? Umbhali-mbali wecawa yokuqala, u-JND Kelly, ongumProtestanti, ubhala athi:

Eyona mpendulo icace gca kukuba abapostile babeyinikele ngomlomo kwiCawe, apho yayinikezelwe khona ukusuka kwisizukulwana ukuya kwisizukulwana. - Iimfundiso zamaKristu okuqala, 37

Yiyo ke loo nto, kucacile ukuba abalandeli baBapostile ngabo banikwe igunya lokumisela oko kunikezelwe nguKristu kunye noko kungakhange kusekwe kwizigqibo zabo, kodwa koko banako ezifunyenweyo.

Upopu akanguye owongamileyo ngokupheleleyo, oneengcinga neminqweno ingumthetho. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, ulungiselelo lukapopu lusisiqinisekiso sokuthobela uKristu nelizwi lakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Homily kaMeyi 8, 2005; Umbutho weSan Diego-Tribune

Kunye nopopu, oobhishophu nabo bathatha inxaxheba kwigunya likaKristu lokufundisa "ukubopha nokukhulula" (Mat 18:18). Eli gunya lokufundisa silibiza ngokuba yi “magisterium”.

… Le Magisterium ayingaphezulu kwelizwi likaThixo, kodwa isisicaka sayo. Ifundisa kuphela oko kunikezelweyo kuyo. Ngokomyalelo ongcwele kwaye ngoncedo loMoya oyiNgcwele, uyayimamela le nto ngokuzinikela, ayigcine ngokuzinikela kwaye ayichaze ngokuthembekileyo. Yonke into ephakamisa ukuba inkolelo njengoko ityhilwe nguThixo ithathwe kule dipozithi yokholo. (IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 86)

bona kuphela banegunya lokutolika iBhayibhile ngokusebenzisa isihluzo seNkcubeko yomlomo abayifumene ngokulandelelana kwabapostile. Ngabo kuphela abaya kugqiba ukuba uYesu wayethetha ngokwenyani ukuba wayesinika umzimba wakhe negazi okanye uphawu nje, nokuba wayethetha ukuba kufuneka sizivume izono zethu kumbingeleli. Ukuqonda kwabo, kukhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, kusekwe kwiNkcubeko eNgcwele esele idlulisiwe kwasekuqaleni.

Ke into ebalulekileyo ayisiyiyo le nto wena okanye ndicinga ukuba isicatshulwa seSibhalo sithetha kakhulu wathini uKrestu kuthi?  Impendulo ithi: kufuneka sibuze abo athe kubo. Isibhalo ayisiyonto yokutolika buqu, kodwa yinxalenye yesityhilelo sokuba ngubani uYesu kwaye wasifundisa ntoni na wasiyalela ntoni.

UPopu Benedict wathetha ngokungqalileyo malunga nengozi yokuzichaza xa wayethetha kwiNtlanganiso ye-Ecumenical kutshanje eNew York:

Iinkolelo ezisisiseko zobuKristu kunye nezenzo ngamanye amaxesha ziyatshintshwa phakathi koluntu zibizwa ngokuba "zizenzo zokuprofeta" ezisekwe kwi-hermeneutic [indlela yokutolika] ayisoloko ihambelana nedatha yeZibhalo kunye neNkcubeko. Uluntu ngenxa yoko luyeka ukuzama ukwenza njengequmrhu elimanyeneyo, bakhetha ukusebenza ngokombono “wokhetho lwasekhaya”. Kwenye indawo kule nkqubo isidingo… sobudlelane neCawe kwisigaba ngasinye silahlekile, kanye ngelixesha ilizwe liphulukana nokuthwala kwalo kwaye lifuna ubungqina obuqhelekileyo obuqinisekileyo kumandla okusindisa eVangeli. (Roma 1: 18-23). —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwiCawa iSt.Joseph, eNew York, ngoAprili 18, 2008

Mhlawumbi singafunda okuthile ekuthobekeni kukaSt. John Henry Newman (1801-1890). Uguqukele kwiCawa yamaKatolika, othi xa efundisa ngamaxesha okugqibela (isifundo esingcoliswe luluvo), abonise indlela eyiyo yokutolika:

Uluvo lwakhe nawuphi na umntu omnye, nokuba ebengoyena mntu ukulungeleyo ukwenza enye, alunakubakho naliphi na igunya, okanye kufaneleke ukuba libekwe lilodwa; Ngelixa isigwebo kunye neembono zeCawa yokuqala zibanga kwaye zitsale ingqalelo yethu ekhethekileyo, kuba ngenxa yento esiyaziyo inokuba inxenye isuselwe kwizithethe zabaPostile, kwaye ngenxa yokuba zibekwa phambili ngokungaguquguqukiyo nangokuvisisanayo ngakumbi kunayo nayiphi na enye iseti Ootitshala.  -IziNtshumayelo zoMchasi-Kristu, iNtshumayelo II, "1 Yohane 4: 3"
