IN utshintshiselwano ngeleta yakutshanje, ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo wathi kum,
Ukuba ndiboniswe ubungqina obaneleyo, bendizakuqala ukunikela ubungqina ngoYesu ngomso. Andazi ukuba obu bungqina buya kuba yintoni, kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba unamandla onke, owazi konke njengo-Yehova angazi ukuba kuya kuthatha ntoni ukuze ndikholelwe. Oko kuthetha ukuba uYahweh akafuni ukuba ndikholelwe (ubuncinci ngeli xesha), kungenjalo uYahweh angandibonisa ubungqina.
Ingaba uThixo akafuni ukuba lo mntu angakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo ngeli xesha, okanye kukuba lo mntu akakholelwanga kubukho bukaThixo? Oko kukuthi, ingaba usebenzisa imigaqo "yendlela yesayensi" kuMdali ngokwakhe?
ISAYENSI VS. UNQULO?
Ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo, uRichard Dawkins, ubhale kutshanje malunga “neNzululwazi noNkolo”. Kwawona magama lawo, kumKrestu, ayaphikisana. Akukho kungqubana phakathi kwesayensi nenkolo, ukuba isayensi ngokuthobekileyo iyakuqonda ukusikelwa umda kwayo kunye nemida yokuziphatha. Ngokunjalo, ndinokongeza, inkolo kufuneka ikwamkele ukuba ayizizo zonke izinto eziseBhayibhileni ekufuneka zithathwe ngokoqobo, kwaye inzululwazi iyaqhubeka nokusityhilela ukuqonda okunzulu ngendalo. Inqaku ngapha: Iteleskopu yeHubble ityhilele kuthi imimangaliso yokuba amakhulukhulu ezizukulwana ngaphambi kwethu akazange acinge ukuba kunokwenzeka.
Ngenxa yoko, uphando lwendlela kuwo onke amasebe olwazi, ngaphandle kokuba lwenziwe ngendlela yesayensi kwaye alugqithi imithetho yokuziphatha, alunakuphikisana nenkolo, kuba izinto zehlabathi nezinto zokholo zivela kwinto enye NguThixo. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-159
Inzululwazi isixelela ngomhlaba owadalwa nguThixo. Kodwa ngaba inzululwazi ingasixelela ngoThixo ngokwakhe?
UKULINGANISA UTHIXO
Xa isazinzulu silinganisa ubushushu, sisebenzisa isixhobo eshushu; xa elinganisa ubungakanani, anokusebenzisa umbethi, njalo njalo. Kodwa umntu “umlinganisa njani uThixo” ukwanelisa isidingo somntu ongakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo sobungqina obubambekayo bobukho bakhe (ukusukela oko ndicacisile Irony ebuhlungu, indalo, imimangaliso, isiprofetho, njl. azithethi nto kuye)? Isazinzulu asisebenzisi caliper ukulinganisa ubushushu ngaphezulu kokusebenzisa ithemometha ukulinganisa ubungakanani. Inkqubo ye- izixhobo ezilungileyo kufuneka isetyenziselwe ukuvelisa ubungqina obuchanekileyo. Xa kuziwa kuThixo, ngubani Umoya, izixhobo zokuvelisa ubungqina obuvela kuThixo ayizizo ii-calipers okanye iithemometha. Banokuba njani?
Ngoku, umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo akanakuthi, "Kulungile, yiyo loo nto kungekho Thixo." Thatha umzekelo, emva koko, uthando. Xa umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo esithi uyamthanda omnye umntu, mcele ukuba "abonise." Kodwa uthando alunakulinganiswa, alulinganiswa, lutyhilwe, okanye lukhuthazwe, ke lunokubakho njani uthando? Kwaye okwangoku, umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uthi, “Into endiyaziyo kukuba ndiyamthanda. Ndiyazi ngentliziyo yam yonke le nto. ” Unokubanga njengobungqina bothando lwakhe kwizenzo zobubele, inkonzo, okanye uthando. Kodwa le miqondiso yangaphandle ikhona phakathi kwabo bazinikeleyo kuThixo kwaye baphila ngeVangeli — imiqondiso engaguqukanga kungekuphela abantu kodwa izizwe zonke. Nangona kunjalo, umntu ongakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo akazibandakanyi ezi zinto njengobungqina bobukho bukaThixo. Ke ngoko, umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo akanakho ukungqina ukuba uthando lwakhe lukhona. Akukho zixhobo zokulinganisa.
Kukwanjalo ke, zikho nezinye izinto umntu athe isayensi isilele ukuzichaza ngokupheleleyo:
Indaleko ayinakho ukucacisa ukukhula kwenkululeko, isimilo, okanye isazela. Akukho bungqina bokukhula ngokuthe ngcembe kwezi mpawu zomntu-akukho mlinganiso wokuziphatha kwiitshimpanzi. Abantu ngokucacileyo bakhulu kunesibalo sayo nayiphi na imikhosi yendaleko kunye nezinto ekuthiwa zidityanisiwe ukuyila. -UBobby Jindal, Oothixo abangakholelwayo kuThixo, Katolika.com
Ke xa kuziwa kuThixo, umntu kufuneka asebenzise izixhobo ezifanelekileyo "ukumlinganisa".
UKUKHETHA IZIXHOBO EZILUNGILEYO
Okokuqala, kanye njengokuba esenza kwinzululwazi, umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo kufuneka aqonde ubume besifundo asondela kuso ukuba “asifunde.” UThixo wamaKristu akalilo ilanga okanye inkunzi yenkomo okanye ithole elityhidiweyo. Unguye UMoya Spiritus.Umntu ongakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kufuneka aphendule kwiingcambu zamadoda:
Ngeendlela ezininzi, ukutyhubela imbali ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla, abantu babonakalisile ukufuna kwabo uThixo kwiinkolelo zabo nakwindlela abaziphethe ngayo: kwimithandazo yabo, amadini, amasiko, ukucamngca, njalo njalo. Ezi ndlela zokuthetha ngenkolo, ngaphandle kokungaqondakali abahlala beza nazo, zibalasele kangangokuba umntu angabiza umntu a unqulo. -CCC, n. I-28
Umntu uyinkolo, kodwa ukwangumntu okrelekrele okwaziyo ukumazi uThixo ngokuqinisekileyo evela kwilizwe elidaliweyo ngokukhanya kwendalo kwesizathu. Kungenxa yokuba wenziwe “ngokomfanekiso kaThixo.”
Kwiimeko zembali azifumana ekuzo, nangona kunjalo, umntu ufumana ubunzima obuninzi ekwazini uThixo ngokukhanya kwesizathu kuphela… zininzi Imiqobo ethintela isizathu ekusebenziseni okusebenzayo kunye nokuvelisa kwesi sakhono sokuzalwa. Iinyani ezichaphazela ubudlelwane phakathi koThixo nomntu zidlula ngokupheleleyo kulungelelwaniso olubonakalayo lwezinto, kwaye, ukuba ziguqulelwe kwizenzo zomntu kwaye ziyiphembelele, bafuna ukuzinikezela kunye nokuthotywa. Ingqondo yomntu, endaweni yayo, iyathintelwa ekufumaneni iinyaniso ezinjalo, hayi kuphela ngempembelelo yeemvakalelo kunye nokucinga, kodwa nangokweminqweno engalunganga eyimiphumo yesono sokuqala. Kuyenzeka ukuba amadoda kwimiba enjalo azikhohlise ngokulula ukuba into abangathandi ukuba yinyani ayiyonyani okanye ayithandabuzeki. -CCC, n. I-37
Kule ndawo inengqiqo evela kwiCatechism, izixhobo "zokulinganisa uThixo" zityhilwe. Ngenxa yokuba sinesimo esiwileyo esithanda ukuthandabuza nokusikhanyela, umphefumlo okhangela uThixo ubizwa ukuba "uzinikezele kwaye uzinikele." Ngamafutshane, ukholo. Isibhalo siyibeka ngolu hlobo:
… Ngaphandle kokholo akunakwenzeka ukumkholisa, kuba nabani na osondela kuThixo kufuneka akholelwe ukuba ukho kwaye uyabavuza abo bamfunayo. (Heb 11: 6)
UKUSETYENZISWA KWEZIXHOBO
Ngoku, ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo angathi, “Yima umzuzu. Mna musa Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo ukhona, ke ndingasondela njani kuye ndinokholo? ”
Into yokuqala kukuqonda ukuba lisoyikeka kangakanani inxeba lesono kwindalo yomntu (kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ongakholelwayo kubukho bakhe uyavuma ukuba umntu uyakwazi ukwenza izoyikiso). Isono santlandlolo ayisiyongxaki nje engathandekiyo kwimbali yomntu. Isono sivelise ukufa emntwini ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba lokuba unxibelelwano noThixo lwanqunyulwa. Isono sokuqala sika-Adam no-Eva wayengebi isiqwenga sesiqhamo; yayikukuswela ngokupheleleyo themba kuYise. Into endiyithethayo kukuba nokuba umKristu ngamanye amaxesha, nangona enokholo olusisiseko kuThixo, uyathandabuza njengoTomas. Siyathandabuza kuba silibale kungekuphela nje into ayenzileyo uThixo ebomini bethu, kodwa siyalibala (okanye asazi) ngongenelelo lukaThixo olunamandla kwimbali yoluntu. Siyathandabuza kuba sibuthathaka. Ewe, ukuba uThixo ebengaphinda abonakale esenyameni phambi koluntu kwakhona, singambethelela emnqamlezweni kwakhona. Ngoba? Kuba sisindiswa lubabalo ngokholo, hayi ngokubona. Ewe, indalo ewileyo injalo ukuba buthathaka (bona Kutheni Ukholo?). Inyaniso yokuba nomKristu kufuneka ahlaziye ukholo lwakhe ngamanye amaxesha ayibonisi ukungabikho kukaThixo kodwa yesono nobukho bobuthathaka. Ekuphela kwendlela yokusondela kuThixo, kukukholwa—themba.
Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kwakhona, umntu kufuneka asebenzise izixhobo ezifanelekileyo. Kuthetha ukusondela kuye ngendlela asibonise ngayo:
… Ngaphandle kokuba uguquke ube njengabantwana, awunakungena ebukumkanini bamazulu… ufunyanwa ngabo bangamvavanyiyo, kwaye uzibonakalisa kwabo bangakholelwayo kuye. (Mat 18: 3; Bulumko 1: 2)
Oku kude nokulula. Ukuba "njengabantwana," oko kukuthi, uku amava obungqina bukaThixo ithetha izinto ezininzi. Omnye kukwamkela into athi Unguye: "UThixo uluthando." Ngapha koko, umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uhlala ebugatya ubuKrestu ngenxa yokuba enikwe imbono egqwethekileyo ngoBawo njengothixo ojonga ngamehlo amnyama ngamehlo zonke iimpazamo zethu, elungele ukohlwaya ityala lethu. Lo ayingoThixo wamaKristu, kodwa okona kubalulekileyo nguThixo oqondwa phosakeleyo. Xa siqonda ukuba siyathandwa, ngaphandle kwemiqathango, ayitshintshi imbono yethu ngoThixo, kodwa ityhila ukusilela kwabo baziinkokheli zobuKristu (kwaye ke yimfuneko yosindiso nabo).
Okwesibini, ukuba ngumntwana kuthetha ukulandela imiyalelo yeNkosi yethu. Umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo ocinga ukuba angabuva ubungqina bokuba uThixo unguMdali lo gama esaphila njengotshaba oluchasene nomthetho wakhe (umzekelo umthetho wokuziphatha ngokwendalo) ngobomi besono, akaqondi imigaqo esisiseko yengqiqo. “Uvuyo” olungaphaya kwendalo kunye "noxolo" amaKristu angqina ngalo sisiphumo ngqo sokuthobela imilinganiselo yokuziphatha yoMdali, inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba "yinguquko". Njengokuba uYesu watshoyo:
Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi. Ukuba niyayigcina imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam… Ndinixelele oku ukuze uvuyo lwam lube kuni novuyo lwenu luzaliseke. (UYohane 15: 5, 10-11)
Ke ukholo kwaye intobelo zizixhobo eziyimfuneko zokufumana amava nokudibana noThixo. Inzululwazi ayinakuze ilinganise ubushushu obuchanekileyo bolwelo ukuba iyala ukubeka ubushushu kwi-fluid. Ngokunjalo ke, umntu ongakholelwayo kuThixo akazukuba nabudlelane noThixo ukuba iingcinga zakhe kunye nezenzo zakhe zichasene nesimo sikaThixo. I-oyile namanzi azixubeki. Kwelinye icala, ngokusebenzisa ukholo, angaluva uthando kunye nenceba kaThixo nokuba ebekade eyintoni na ngaphambili. Ngokuthembela kwinceba kaThixo, uthobekile thobela kwiLizwi laKhe, ubabalo lweSakramente, kwaye kuloo ncoko siyibiza ngokuba "ngumthandazo," umphefumlo unokuza kumava kaThixo. UbuKristu bume okanye buwe kule nyaniso, hayi kwiicawe ezimbeje kunye neempahla zegolide. Igazi labafeli-nkolo laphalazwa, hayi ingcinga okanye ubukhosi, kodwa uMhlobo.
Kufuneka kuthiwe umntu unokufumana ubunyani belizwi likaThixo ngobomi obuchasene nemigaqo yakhe yokuziphatha. Njengoko isibhalo sisitsho, "umvuzo wesono kukufa." [1]I-Rom 6: 23 Siyabubona "ubungqina obumnyama" balo mgaqo busingqongile kunxunguphalo kunye nokuphazamiseka kubomi obuphila ngaphandle kwentando kaThixo. Isenzo sikaThixo sinokubonakaliswa kukungazinzi komphefumlo. Senziwe ngaYe kwaye senzelwe Yena, ngenxa yoko, ngaphandle kwakhe, asinakuphumla. UThixo akasosithixo esikude, kodwa ulandela umntu ngamnye ngokungagungqiyo kuba usithanda ngokungapheliyo. Nangona kunjalo, umphefumlo onjalo uhlala unexesha elinzima lokuqonda uThixo ngale mizuzu kungenxa yekratshi, ukuthandabuza, okanye ukuqaqadeka kwentliziyo.
UKHOLO NENGQIQO
Ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo, ke ngoko, kufuneka asebenzise izixhobo ezifanelekileyo. Oku kubandakanya ukusetyenziswa kwe zombini ukholo kunye nokuqiqa.
… Isizathu somntu ngokuqinisekileyo sinokufikelela kubungqina bokuba kukho uThixo omnye, kodwa kuphela lukholo, olufumana iSityhilelo esingcwele, olunako ukuzoba kwimfihlelo yoThando lukaThixo oziqu zithathu. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, kubaphulaphuli ngokubanzi, nge-16 kaJuni, 2010, L'Osservatore Romano, IsiNgesi, ngoJuni 23, 2010
Ngaphandle kwesizathu, inkolo ayinangqondo; ngaphandle kokholo, ukuqiqa kuya kukhubeka kwaye kusilele ukubona into enokuthi yaziwe yintliziyo kuphela. Njengokuba watsho uSt. Augustine, “Ndiyakholelwa ukuze ndiqonde; kwaye ndiyaqonda, kungcono ukukholelwa. ”
Kodwa ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uhlala ecinga ukuba eli bango lokholo lithetha ukuba, ekugqibeleni, kufuneka ayicime ingqondo yakhe kwaye akholelwe ngaphandle koncedo lokuqiqa, kwaye nokholo ngokwalo alunakuvelisa nto ngaphandle kokunyaniseka okuzihlambululeyo kwinkolo. Olu luvo olungeyonyani malunga nokuba kuthetha ntoni "ukuba nokholo." Amava emawakawaka amakholwa asixelela olo kholo ngeke unike ubungqina ngoThixo, kodwa kuphela xa umntu esondela kwimfihlelo ngendlela efanelekileyo kwimeko yethu yokuwa-njengomntwana omncinci.
Ngesizathu sendalo umntu angamazi ngokuqinisekileyo uThixo, ngemisebenzi yakhe. Kodwa kukho omnye umyalelo wolwazi, umntu angenakufikelela kuwo ngamandla akhe: ulungelelwaniso lwesityhilelo esingcwele… Ukholo ezithile. Iqinisekile ngakumbi kunalo lonke ulwazi lomntu kuba isekelwe kwilizwi likaThixo elingenakuxoka. Ukunyaniseka, iinyaniso ezityhiliweyo zinokubonakala zingacacanga kwingqondo nakumava abantu, kodwa "ukuqiniseka kokukhanya okuvela kuThixo kukhulu kunoko kunikwa kukukhanya kwengqiqo yendalo." "Ubunzima bamawaka alishumi abwenzi kuthandabuza." -CCC 50, 157
Kodwa esi sidingo sokholo olunjengomntwana, ngokuphandle, siya kuba sikhulu kakhulu kwindoda enekratshi. Umntu ongakholelwa kuThixo omi phezu kwelitye kwaye ekhwaza esibhakabhakeni efuna ukuba uThixo azibonise ukuba makame umzuzwana kwaye acinge ngale nto. Ukuba uThixo aphendule ngandlela zonke nangantoni na yabantu iyaphikisana nendalo yakhe. Inyaniso yokuba uThixo akabonakali kubo bonke ubuqaqawuli ngalo mzuzu mhlawumbi bubungqina bokuba ukhona kunoko engekho. Kwelinye icala, ukuba uThixo athi cwaka ngandlela ithile, esenza ukuba umntu ahambe ngakumbi ngokholo kunokubona (ukuze abone uThixo!)Banoyolo abasulungekileyo entliziyweni kuba baya kumbona uThixo…“), Bubungqina. UThixo usinika ngokwaneleyo ukumfuna. Ukuba siyamfuna, siya kumfumana, ngokuba akakude. Kodwa ukuba unguThixo ngenene, nguMdali ngokwenyani wendalo iphela, asifanelanga ukuba njalo ngokuthobekileyo simfune, ngendlela athe wabonisa ngayo ukuba siya kumfumana? Ngaba oku akukho sengqiqweni?
Ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uyakufumana uThixo xa efika esiwa elityeni lakhe aze aguqe ecaleni kwalo. Isazinzulu siyakumfumana uThixo xa ebeka bucala izixhobo kunye nezixhobo kwaye asebenzise izixhobo ezifanelekileyo.
Hayi, umntu akanakulinganisa uthando ngetekhnoloji. NoThixo is uthando!
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, sihambe, sihlale. Nguye kuphela onokusikhusela ebubini, kuphela angasikhokela kwiinkqwithela zobomi, kuphela anokusizisa kwindawo ekhuselekileyo… Ngaphezulu kwayo nayiphi na imithwalo esinokuyiphatha nathi-ngokwempumelelo yethu yabantu, izinto zethu , Itekhnoloji yethu-lulwalamano lwethu neNkosi olusinika isitshixo kulonwabo lwethu kunye nokuzalisekiswa komntu. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Iindaba zeAsia.it, Epreli 18th, 2010
Kuba amaYuda afuna imiqondiso; amaGrike afuna ubulumko; ke thina sivakalisa uKristu ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni; isikhubekiso ke eso kumaYuda, ubudenge kumaGrike; ke kwabo babiziweyo, amaYuda kwanamaGrike ngokufanayo, sivakalisa uKristu ongamandla kaThixo, nobulumko bukaThixo. Ngokuba into kaThixo ebubudenge ilumkile kunabantu, nento kaThixo engenamandla yomelele kunabantu. (1 Kor. 1: 22-25)
