UKUSUSELA uluntu lwalunqatshelwe eMyezweni wase-Eden, ulangazelele ubudlelwane kunye noThixo kunye nemvisiswano nendalo-nokuba umntu uyayazi okanye akayazi. NgoNyana wakhe, uThixo uthembise bobabini. Kodwa ngobuxoki, injalo nenyoka yakudala.
IXESHA LOKUVAVANYA
INkosi yayilumkise uAdam noEva ukuba indalo yomntu ayinakho ukuphatha ulwazi lokulungileyo nokubi. Ukukhetha ukutya isiqhamo kumthi wolwazi — oko kukuthi, ukutyeshela imilinganiselo kaThixo yokuziphatha — kwakuza kutshabalalisa abantu. Kodwa inyoka yahlaba umlozi:
Awuyi kufa. Kuba uThixo uyazi ukuba xa nithe nadla kuzo aya kuvuleka amehlo enu, nibe njengoThixo, nazi okulungileyo nokubi. (IGenesis 3: 4-5)
Ngaphakathi kobu buxoki kufunyenwe isicwangciso somdlalo wexesha elizayo wenkosana yobumnyama, ngoku eza kulunga. Emva kwamawakawaka eminyaka yokuzilungisa kwicala elimnyama eluntwini, uSathana watyhola uThixo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo ukuvavanya uluntu. Ngoko ke uMtshakazi wakhe wayengenakushiyeka ebumnyameni, uThixo wavumela “iliwa” leCawe ukuba live kwaye lisibonele esi sicelo sikhohlakeleyo ngexesha leMisa ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1800.
U-Leo XIII wabona ngokwenene, embonweni, oomoya beedemon ababehlanganisene kwiSixeko saNgunaphakade (iRoma). -UYise Domenico Pechenino, amangqina okuzibonela; Ephemerides Liturgicae, ingxelo ngo-1995, iphe. 58-59; www / .umama.es
Emva kokuphuma esibhakabhakeni esibonakalayo, uBawo oyiNgcwele wayishiya ingcwele kwaye wakhawuleza waqamba "Umthandazo kuSt. UPopu Leo uphinde wabhala imithandazo yokukhupha iidemon efumaneka kwiRitual yanamhlanje. UPapa wayesazi-kwaye siyazi ngokujonga ngasemva-ukuba inkulungwane yamashumi amabini iyakuba kukuqhambuka kobubi ngokungaqhelekanga emhlabeni, ngoku ofikelela encotsheni yawo, njengoko uSathana ehenda umntu ukuba enze i-Edeni entsha. Sisicwangciso sobudemon ukuguqula isiqalekiso esasiziswa sisono santlandlolo kwindalo… into enokwenziwa nguMnqamlezo kuphela.
“UVAVA OLUSHA”
Kwakhona, inyoka ibeka iisayithi zayo kuqala ibhinqa. Emva kokuwa kokuqala, uThixo wathi kuEva:
Ndiya kuzala luvalo ngokuzala kwakho. Uya kuzala abantwana unembulaleko. (IGenesis 3:16)
Inyathelo lokuqala lokuguqula isiqalekiso ibe kukuzalwa kobufazi obugqithisileyo. Ukuthomalalisa inimba yokuzala abantwana, isisombululo esingeyonyani kuye kwaba njalo ukuphelisa ukuzala ngokupheleleyo. Kungoko ukukhupha isisu kunye nolawulo lokuzalwa kuzelwe njengesiqhamo esitsha "sokhetho".
Ke uya kubhekisa endodeni yakho, ayilawule. (IGenesis 3:16)
Ubufazi obugqithisileyo bonyuse indima yokuba ngutata kunye nobudoda, kunciphisa umahluko wokudibanisa phakathi kwendoda nebhinqa kubuchwephesha nje. Yintlekele ebetha entliziyweni yesicwangciso sikaThixo:
Ingxaki yokuba ngutata esiphila kuyo namhlanje yinto, mhlawumbi eyona ibalulekileyo, isoyikisa umntu eluntwini. Ukupheliswa kobutata nokuba ngumama kunxulunyaniswa nokupheliswa kobukho bethu njengoonyana neentombi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), uPalermo, ngoMatshi 15, 2000
Ngokwenene, ngokukhupha isisu nokwala ubunkokheli bokomoya kwindima yendoda kunye nobubingeleli bendoda, ubufazi obunamandla buzamile ukwenza abafazi babe "ziinkosi" zemizimba yabo kunye nolwazelelo, kodwa bancama isidima sabo kunye nendima yabo UEva (“umama wabaphilayo.”) Ekuvaleni isipho sakhe sokuzala nokuba ngumama, uEva omtsha ngokoqobo uza kuba 'ngunina wabafileyo.'
“IADAM ENTSHA”
Yathi kwindoda leyo, Ngenxa enokuba uphulaphule umfazi wakho, wadla kuwo umthi endakuwisela umthetho ngawo, ndathi, Uqalekisiwe umhlaba ngenxa yakho; Uya kuyidla ngokubulaleka yonke imihla yokuxoka kwakhofe. Uya kukuntshulela imithana enameva neenkunzane, udle imifuno yasendle. Ngobilo lobuso bakho uya kufumana isonka udle, ude ubuyele emhlabeni, othathwe kuwo… ”(Gen 3: 17-19)
ngokusebenzisa iteknolojiInyoka ithembisile ukuba abantu banokukhululeka kwiziphumo zesono sokuqala. Iicompyuter, iifowuni ezikrelekrele, kunye nesantya esiphezulu sonxibelelwano lwedatha ziyaqhubeka ukuthembisa ilizwe elonwabileyo, elixhumeneyo; i-nano-technology, iirobhothi, kunye nee-microchips zithembisa ukusebenza nzima; Ukuxhaphaka kwemfuza kwembewu, iziqhamo, kunye nemifuno ithembisa ukungabi nalukhula, izityalo ezininzi; kunye nobusoshiyali obudala obonyuka ngoMyalelo weHlabathi eNtsha buthembisa ngamathuba alinganayo nemivuzo kumntu wonke. Kodwa kwisisombululo ngasinye sobuxoki, kuyacaca ukuba i-Edeni entsha inciphisa umntu kuhlobo olutsha lobukhoboka apho urhulumente, iinkampani, kunye netekhnoloji-zonke ezizezabantu abaphakamileyo-baba ziinkosi ezintsha.
UMFANEKISO OMTSHA
Wamdala ke uThixo umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe; wamdala ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo; wadala indoda nenkazana. UThixo wazibona zonke izinto awayezenzile, wabona ukuba zilungile. (IGenesis 1:27, 31)
Inyoka yahlebela uEva endlebeni “Aya kuvulwa amehlo enu, nibe njengoothixo abakwaziyo okulungileyo nokubi.” Kodwa icebo lenyoka lonke elixesha yayikukuguqula uyilo lukaThixo. Okulungileyo ngoku kuthathwa njengokubi, kwaye oko kubi kubizwa ngokuba kulungile. Yiyo ke loo nto, umfanekiso kaThixo apho abantu benziwe-amadoda nabasetyhini-bayaguqulwa, kungekuphela ngokuguqulwa kwendima yamadoda / yabasetyhini, kodwa ngokuchazwa ngokutsha ngokwesini. “Umfanekiso wobuthixo” kaBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele, usapho, yindawo ekugxilwe kuyo yinyoka. Ukuba usapho lunetyhefu, ngokunjalo nekamva lehlabathi.
Ikamva lehlabathi neleCawa lidlula kusapho. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Familiaris Consortium, n. 75
Xa abantu ngoku bezama ukuziphinda ngokomfanekiso wabo wobuxoki, icebo lenyoka kukuqinisekisa umntu ukuba anganguye "uMdali" ngokwakhe.
ULAWULO LOBUXOKI
Emva koko uThixo wathi, "Umhlaba mawuvelise zonke iintlobo zezityalo, ezo zithwala iinkozo kwanezo zivelisa iziqhamo." (IGen 1:11)
Esinye sezothuso esivelayo sokukhohliswa kwemfuza kukuba imbewu, ngakumbi imbewu yezityalo, iyatshintshwa ukuze bona ayisasebenzi ukuvelisa imbewu ehlumayo. Ezi “mveliso” zintsha zinelungelo elilodwa lomenzi kwaye ziyathengiswa kumafama, ngelixa iimbewu ezivele ngokwendalo ngokuhamba kwexesha ziyalahlwa ukuze zifumane “isivuno esingcono.” Oko kukuthi, abalimi baya kucelwa ukuba bathenge imbewu yabo kumashishini ngalo naliphi na ixabiso kunye nezithintelo abazenzayo. Uyilo oluqinisekisiweyo lukaThixo lubekelwe ecaleni ukuzama ukutya ikhonkco, elinokuphela ngokulula, hayi kwi-Eden eninzi, kodwa kwiplanethi ethwaxwe yindlala.
… Ukubuyiselwa kwe "Paradise" elahlekileyo akusalindelwanga elukholweni, kodwa kwikhonkco elisandula ukufunyanwa phakathi kwesayensi kunye ne-praxis. Ayikuko ukuba ukholo luyaliwa nje; Endaweni yoko ifuduselwe kwelinye inqanaba-yemicimbi yabucala kunye neminye imicimbi yehlabathi-kwaye kwangaxeshanye iba yinto engafanelekanga kwihlabathi. Lo mbono wenkqubo umisele umkhondo wamaxesha anamhlanje kwaye ukwabumba nentlekele yokholo namhlanje eyintsokolo yethemba lobuKristu. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi, n. 17
INZALA YOBUXOKI
UYehova uThixo wambumba umntu ngodongwe lwasemhlabeni, waphefumlela emathatheni akhe impefumlo yobomi, umntu ke waba ngumphefumlo ophilileyo. (IGenesis 2: 7)
Ngokudibana nokwenza ulinga ngeembumba ezingabantu, abantu abanekratshi bakholelwa ukuba bayifumene indlela yokwandisa kungekuphela nje ixesha lokuphila, kodwa ubomi bokuphefumla entsha yenziwe abantu ke bezama ukugoqa ikrele lokufa elalibavalile uAdam noEva kumyezo wase-Eden. I-eugenics entsha iyavela-ukubanakho ngokusebenzisa in vitro ukuchumisa ukukhetha isini, iliso, iinwele, umbala wolusu, kunye nokutyekela kwezempilo, ngaloo ndlela kusenza umntu abe yinjineli yekamva lakhe lomzimba. Ngapha koko, ukudibanisa itekhnoloji kunye "nenkqubela phambili" yemfuza, ekugqibeleni i-Eden entsha iya kuba nabantu abaninzi, i indodao OguqukayoIndalo eyenziwe ngobunjineli ebalasele kakhulu Homo sapiens. Ngokwenzululwazi yale mihla, oku kuyakwenzeka kwisizukulwana (jonga oku kufutshane kwaye kuyothusa yokuzonwabisa).
Kuyahenda ukucinga ukuba iteknoloji yanamhlanje inokuziphendula zonke iimfuno zethu kwaye isisindise kuzo zonke iingozi neengozi ezisikhathazayo. Kodwa akunjalo. Ngawo wonke umzuzu wobomi bethu sixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kuThixo, esihlala kuye, sihamba, sihlale kuye. Nguye kuphela onokusikhusela kwingozi, Nguye kuphela ongasikhokela kubunzima bobomi, kuphela angasisa kwindawo ekhuselekileyo… -POPE BENEDICT XVI, Floriana, Malta Epreli 18th, 2010, AsiaNews.it
UXOLO LOBUXOKI
UNdikhoyo uThixo wayalela umntu wathi: “Ungatya nakuwuphi na umthi osemyezweni ngaphandle komthi wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi. Ungadli kuloo mthi; xa uthe wadla kuwo, uza kufa. ”Wawusikelela uThixo umhla wesixhenxe, wawungcwalisa; ngokuba waphumla ngawo kuwo wonke umsebenzi awayewenzile. (IGenesis 2: 9, 3)
INkosi yanika uluntu "lo myalelo" -umyalelo apho kukho imida engenakuwiswa, umyalelo othi, ukuba uyathotyelwa, ubuya kushiya u-Adam no-Eva bemvisiswano phakathi koMdali wabo, nabo bonke indalo (nangona, Njengoko sisazi, esona sipho sikhulu sivela ngokuwa komNqamlezo cf. Rom 11:32). Kungumyalelo onokuthi-ngentlawulelo ngokuphumelela ekubandezelekeni kukaKristu-unokubuyiselwa, nangona kungenjalo ngokugqibeleleyo kwimida yexesha.
Kwakukho imithi emibini egadini: umthi wolwazi kunye nomthi wobomi, kwaye zinxulumene ngokusondeleyo. Umyalelo owamiselwa nguThixo yayikukuhlonipha ulwazi kunye nobulumko baKhe, icebo lakhe kunye noyilo, ukuze umthi wobomi uqhubeke nokuthwala ubomi. Kodwa kuLungelelwaniso lweHlabathi eNtsha-ucwangco lwe-Eden eyenziweyo entsha-umntu ukhohlisiwe watya kumthi wolwazi kwakhona. "Iindaba ezilungileyo" ze-Eden entsha ubu-gnostiki—ulwazi olufihlakeleyo malunga nokumiselwa komntu okwenene bubuxoki beedemon. Isiqhamo esalelweyo kukuphunyezwa kwale gnosticism ngokusebenzisa iteknoloji ukuba yenza umntu emthini wobomi ubuqu.
"Umhla wesixhenxe" kwi-Eden entsha, ke, ngumhla Iminyaka ye-Aquarius, ixesha 'loxolo nemvisiswano.' Ayililo ikamva loxolo eliveliswe kukuvumelana kwendalo noMdali, kodwa luxolo lobuxoki olulawulwa lunyanzeliswa nguzwilakhe wolawulo lobunyani. DIlictict. TUthetha ukuba olu xolo luphindwe kabini: ukwenza usuku lwesixhenxe lube ngcwele ngokwenkolo entsha athi umntu abe uthixo kuye.
The Umtsha Ekuseni kuyakubakho ngabantu ngabantu abafezekileyo, abalawula ngokupheleleyo imithetho yendalo. Kule meko, ubuKrestu kufuneka bususwe buyeke inkolo yehlabathi kunye nolawulo lwehlabathi elitsha. - ‚UYesu Krestu, UMphathi waManzi oBomi, n. I-4, AmaBhunga ooPopu kwiNkcubeko nakwiNtetho yezeNkolo
Indlela yesibini kukusebenzisa “inkcubeko yokufa”: ukususa emhlabeni abo bangumthwalo kumntu, okusingqongileyo, okanye "umqobo" kule nkolo intsha, kolu "xolo." Iklabhu yaseRoma, itanki lokucinga elijongene nokunyuka kwenani labemi kunye nokuncipha kwezixhobo, yafikelela kwisigqibo esothusayo kwingxelo yayo ka-1993:
Ekufuneni intshaba entsha yokusimanya, size nombono wokuba ungcoliseko, isoyikiso sokufudumala komhlaba, ukunqongophala kwamanzi, indlala nokunye okunjalo kuya kulunga ityala. Zonke ezi ngozi zibangelwa kukungenelela komntu, kwaye kungokutshintsha kwesimo sengqondo kunye nokuziphatha kuphela abanokoyisa. Olona tshaba ngoko, luluntu ngokwalo. -UAlexander King noBertrand Schneider. Inguquko yokuqala yeHlabathi, iphe. 75, 1993.
Kukho ukungazi okuothusayo kweengozi ezidlalayo kumaxesha ethu, ezivuselelwe ngokuyinxenye zezi zinto Iingcamango ezigqwethekileyo, apho umntu elutshaba kwaye uThixo akabalulekanga.
Ubuntu obubandakanya ngaphandle kukaThixo bubuntu obungenabuntu. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IiCaritas ezikwiVenisa, n. I-78
Ngaloo ndlela, ukunciphisa abantu yindlela eyimfuneko nesiphelo ngokwaso. Umyalelo wokugqibela kaThixo kwindalo yonke…
Chuma, wande… (Genesis 1:28)
… Ngu ku buyiswa. Kwaye inyoka, ekugqibeleni, iya kutyhilwa ukuba ingubani kanye kanye:
Wayengu umbulali Ukususela ekuqaleni kwaye… ulixoki noyise wabo ubuxoki. (Yohane 8:44)
Inene akukho namnye onengqondo ephilileyo onokuwuthandabuza umba wolu khuphiswano phakathi komntu noPhezukonke. Indoda, isebenzisa kakubi inkululeko yayo, ingaphula ilungelo kunye nobungangamsha boMdali weNdalo iphela; kodwa uloyiso luyakuze lubenoThixo — ewe, uloyiso lukufutshane ngalo mzuzu xa umntu, phantsi kwenkohliso yoloyiso lwakhe, ephakama ngolwazelelo olukhulu. —IIPOPE ST. IPIUS X, E Supremi, n. 6, Oktobha 4, 1903
KWI-VERGE
Njengoko sijonga iziganeko zehlabathi ezisingqongileyo, siliphulaphule ngenyameko iLizwi leNyaniso kunye namazwi obuxoki, kuya kufuneka kucace ukuba abayili be-Edeni entsha—abaphambili-Apha. Bathetha "ngotshintsho" kunye "nethemba," kodwa oku kuhambelana "nomyalelo omtsha" ohlawula inkonzo yomlomo kuThixo ngaphandle kokuhlonipha ubomi ukusuka ekukhawulweni ukuya ekufeni kwendalo, ngaphandle kokujonga imida ebekwe kuMthi woLwazi. Olona tshintsho banokuluzisa ekugqibeleni, ayikokufika kwethemba kodwa bubusuku bokufa.
… Uluntu, esele lusemngciphekweni omkhulu, lunokujamelana nayo, nangona luhamba phambili ngokumangalisayo elwazini, loo mhla wentlekele xa ingalwazi olunye uxolo ngaphandle koxolo oloyikekayo lokufa. -Umgaqo-siseko wePastor on the Church in the Modern World, iBhunga leSibini leVatican, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyureUmqulu IV, iphe. 475
Ngokuphathelene noku, isigidimi sobuKristu siyimfuneko.
Uxolo ke sisiqhamo sothando; Uthando ligqitha koko kunokufikelelwa ngumthetho. Uxolo emhlabeni, luzelwe luthando ngommelwane, luphawu kunye nomphumo woxolo lukaKristu oluqukuqela luvela kuThixo uYise.. -Ibid. p. 471

...Ukhanyiso ke olo lwabonakala ebumnyameni, basuka ubumnyama abaluqiqa. (UYohane 1: 5)
Umyezo wase-Eden ulahlekile… kodwa "amazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha" balindele abantwana bakaBawo. Kuba icebo lakhe sele lazisiwe:

Njengokuba iMelika ime ngesiquphe sethemba layo, ndifuna ukuba elo themba lizalisekiswe kuthi sonke xa sihlangana ukuze sibumbe inkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye njengenkulungwane yokuqala yoluntu olonyani lwehlabathi… Qalisa ukubolekisa ngemali ukuze iintsapho kunye namashishini akwazi ukuboleka kwakhona. -INkulumbuso yase-UK uGordon Brown, TimesOnline.com, Matshi 1st, 2009
Ithemba lokwenene alithatheli ngqalelo. Ayinanto yakwenza nethemba le-cheesy le-campaigns. Ithemba lithatha kwaye lifuna umqolo kumakholwa. Kungenxa yoko le nto-ubuncinci kumKristu- ithemba lisomeleza xa impendulo eyiyo kwiingxaki okanye ukhetho olunzima ebomini lusithi "hayi, asikwazi," endaweni yokuthi "ewe, sinako." -Ubhishophu omkhulu uCharles J.
