NDINE abafundi abaninzi bamaProtestanti. Omnye wabo wandibhalela malunga nenqaku lakutshanje Iigusha zam ziya kulazi ilizwi lam kwisaqhwithi, wabuza:
Indishiya phi le nto njengomProtestanti?
UHLAHLELO
U-Yesu wathi uzakulakhela icawe yakhe “phezu kolwalwa” -oko kukuthi, u-Petros-okanye ngolwimi luka-Aramaic ka-Kristu: “Kefas”, elithetha “iliwa”. Ke, cinga ngeCawe ngoko njengeNtaba.
Iintsika zandulela intaba, kwaye ke ndicinga ngazo njengo "Bhaptizo". Umntu udlula kwiinduli zeentaba ukuze afike kwiNtaba.
Ngoku, uYesu wathi, “Ndiya kulakhela phezu kolu lwalwa ibandla lam”—hayi icawa (Mat 16:18). Ukuba kunjalo, i- Nye Icawa eyakhiwa nguKristu inokufumaneka kuphela kuyo Nye indawo: "elulwalweni", oko kukuthi, "uPetros" kunye nabangena ezihlangwini zakhe. Ngaloo ndlela, ngokusengqiqweni, iNtaba yeyona Icawa yamaKatolika kuba kulapho umgca ongaqhawukanga weePope ufumaneka khona. Ngoko ke, kulapho umxokelelwane ongaqhawukiyo weemfundiso zeNkosi ufunyanwa kuwo wonke ekuphathisweni kwawo.
“Yizani, sinyuke intaba kaYehova, endlwini yoThixo kaYakobi, ukuze asiyalele iindlela zakhe, sihambe ngomendo wakhe. Ngokuba kuya kuphuma uqeqesho eZiyon... (U-Isaya 2: 3)
Icawe kweli hlabathi ngumthendeleko wosindiso, umqondiso kunye nesixhobo sobudlelane bukaThixo nabantu. —Catechism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 780
Ngaba useNtabeni, okanye kwiiNgxoxo emazantsi ayo, okanye mhlawumbi, ndaweni ithile emathafeni?
Incopho yeNtaba nguYesu, iNtloko yeBandla. Usenokuthi iNgqungquthela nguBathathu Emnye oNgcwele kuba uYesu emnye noYise noMoya oyiNgcwele. Kungale Ngqungquthela apho zonke iinyaniso ezifumaneka kwezinye iinkonzo eziphambili zalatha. Kwaye eneneni, yiNgqungquthela efunwa ngabantu bonke, nokuba bayayiqonda okanye abayiqondi.
Noko ke, asingabo bonke abantu abaseNtabeni. Bambi bayala ukungena eMazantsi eeNtlango zoBhaptizo, begatya okwangoku (ubuncinane ngokwengqondo okanye mhlawumbi bengazi) ukuba uYesu unguMesiya. Abanye baye bangena eziNtabeni, kodwa bayala ukunyuka iNtaba. Bayala (mhlawumbi bengazi) iHlathi elijikelezileyo leeDogmas, elinje ngeNtlambululo-miphefumlo, ukuthethelelwa kwabaNgcwele, ububingeleli obungamadoda onke… okanye bayala ukudlula kwimibhoshongo yeMisedare yesidima soMntu, ukusuka ekukhawulweni ukuya ekufeni kwemvelo. Kanti abanye bawagqala njengongenakudlula ngokwengqondo amathambeka azukileyo kaMariya. Sekunjalo, abanye baziva besongelwa ngamawa amakhulu eeSakramente, axhonywe yiNcopho egqunywe likhephu yabaPostile.
Ke ngoko, abaninzi bazilazila kumazantsi eeNgxoxo zeZifundo, betsiba ukusuka endulini ukuya endulini, ebhankini ukuya kwi-bluff, intlanganiso yomthandazo ukuya kufundisiso lwebhayibhile, benqumama ukuze basele kuManzi oNqulo kunye neMijelo yesiBhalo (ethi ngequbuliso, ibaleke isuka ekhephini- Umnqwazi, ukusuka kuloo Ncopho apho ukuphefumlelwa kukaMoya oyiNgcwele kwakuhlanganisene khona emva kwePentekoste.” Ngapha koko, yayingabalandela abaPostile abathi malunga nenkulungwane yesine bamisela ukuba ngawaphi na amanzi acocekileyo (iSibhalo esiphefumlelweyo), kwaye awayengengawo, egcina kuphela iTenet engangcoliswanga. yeNyaniso, ukuyekela okuseleyo kuwele kwiintlambo ezisezantsi…) Okulusizi kukuba, eminye imiphefumlo ekugqibeleni idinwa kukunyuka okuphantsi. Bathatha isigqibo sokuzishiya iintaba ngokupheleleyo, bekholelwa ubuxoki bokuba iNtaba ikukudilika kwamatye nje okungento… or, intaba-mlilo embi, ezimisele ukoyisa nantoni na esendleleni yayo. Ukuzalwa ngomnqweno wokuchukumisa isibhakabhaka, bahamba baye kwiiDolophu zokuzikhohlisa ukuthenga "amaphiko", ngexabiso lomphefumlo wabo.
Ukanti, abanye badanisa ezindulini, ngokungathi basemaphikweni oMoya… Banqwenela ukuphaphazela, kwaye kum kubonakala ngathi, umnqweno wabo ubakhokelela kufutshane neNtaba, kude kuse emazantsi ayo.
Kodwa kukwakho nombono owothusayo: imiphefumlo emininzi ilele eNtabeni… ngeli lixa abanye bentyumpantyumpeka kuMadaka okuZindayo kunye namachibi okuzola. Abanye bayawa kwaye baninzi ukubaleka ukusuka eNtabeni amashumi amawaka—bambi bade banxibe iingubo ezimhlophe neekhola! Ngenxa yoku, abaninzi kwiiNgxaki bayayoyika iNtaba, kuba ukuthontelana kwemiphefumlo kukhangeleka ngathi yingqushu ngokwenene!
Kukushiya phi ke mfundi othandekayo? Nangona nguwe kuphela noThixo oyaziyo intliziyo yakho, iBandla linokuthi:
Ubhaptizo lwenza isiseko sobudlelane phakathi kwawo onke amaKrestu, kuquka nalawo angekadibani ngokupheleleyo neCawe yamaKhatholika: “Kuba amadoda akholelwa kuKrestu kwaye abhaptizwe ngokufanelekileyo afakwa kubudlelane neCawa yamaKatolika, nangona engafezekanga. Ukugwetyelwa ngokholo kuBhaptizo, [bona] babandakanywa kuKristu; ngenxa yoko banelungelo lokubizwa ngokuba bangamaKristu, yaye banesizathu esivakalayo sokuba bamkelwe njengabazalwana ngabantwana beCawa yamaKatolika. ” “Ubhaptizo ke ngoko iqhina lomthendeleko wobunye phakathi kwabo bonke abazelwe ngokutsha ngako. ” —Catechism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 1271
Ewe, sonke simele sibuze, “Ndiphi na?”—enoba ngumKatolika okanye wamaProtestanti okanye unantoni na. Kuba ezinye iinduli asizizo ezeRange kaThixo, yaye iintlambo ezininzi zikhangeleka njengeentaba xa usemazantsi azo.
Okokugqibela, ezinye iimpendulo ezivela kuMpostile uPawulos, nabalandela emva kwakhe:
KWABASENTABENI
Bathambeleni abakhokeli benu, nibabeke phambi kwabo; kuba bona bahlala bekhangele kuni kwaye baya kuphendula, ukuze bawufeze umsebenzi wabo ngovuyo, kungekhona ngokuba buhlungu; (KumaHebhere 13: 17; UPawulos ethetha namakholwa malunga noobhishophu neenkokeli zabo.)
yimani nizibambe izithethe enazifundiswayo, nokuba kungelizwi, nokuba kungencwadi. (2 kwabaseTesalonika 2: 15 ; UPawulos ethetha namakholwa aseTesalonika)
KWABAKUFUPHI KWENTABA
Zilumkeleni nina, niwuvelele wonke umhlambi, athe uMoya oyiNgcwele wanimisela ukuba ngabaveleli bawo, nilaluse kuwo ibandla likaThixo, alizuzileyo ngegazi lakhe. (IZenzo 20: 28; UPawulos ebhekisa koobhishophu bokuqala beBandla)
Yigcine inyaniso oyiphathisiweyo nguMoya oyiNgcwele ohleli ngaphakathi kwethu. (2 Timothy 1: 14; UPawulos ubhalela uTimoti, ubhishophu oselula)
KWABASEZINTABENI
Noko ke, ubani akanakubabeka ityala ngesono sokwahlula abo ngoku bazalelwa kwezi ndawo [eziye zaphumela kukwahlukana okunjalo] nabakhuliselwa kuzo ngokholo lukaKristu, yaye iCawa yamaKatolika ibamkela ngentlonelo nangomsa njengaye. abazalwana . . . . Bonke abagwetyelwe ngokholo kuBhaptizo babandakanywa kuKrestu; ngenxa yoko banelungelo lokubizwa ngokuba ngamaKristu, yaye ngesizathu esivakalayo bamkelwa njengabazalwana eNkosini ngabantwana beCawa yamaKatolika.” -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 818
KWABASEMATHINI
Enkosi kuKristu nakwiBandla lakhe, abo bathi, ngaphandle kwesiphoso sabo, bangayazi iVangeli kaKristu neCawa yakhe kodwa bamfune ngokunyanisekileyo uThixo yaye, beqhutywa lubabalo, bazama ukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe njengoko kusaziwa ngesazela. banokuzuza usindiso olungunaphakade. —Uxwebhu lweCatechism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 171
