NGOMNYHADALA Wosihlalo we-ST. UPETROS UMPOSTILE
Phawula: Ukuba uyekile ukufumana ii-imeyile kum, jonga i "junk" yakho okanye "ispemu" kwifowulda kwaye ubamakishe njengongafunekiyo.
I ndandidlula kumboniso wezorhwebo xa ndadibana ne "Christian Cowboy" booth. Ukuhlala ngasesinqeni yayingumfumba weebhayibhile ze-NIV ezinemifanekiso yamahashe kwiphepha elingaphandle. Ndiphakamise enye, emva koko ndajonga amadoda amathathu aphambi kwam egreyile ngokuzingca phantsi komphetho weeStetsons zawo.
“Ndiyabulela ngokusasaza iLizwi, bazalwana,” ndatsho ndibuyisela uncumo lwabo. “Ndingumvangeli ongumKatolika nam.” Kwaye emva koko, ubuso babo behla, uncumo lwabo ngoku lunyanzelisiwe. Omdala kula makhwenkwe mathathu eenkomo, indoda endizakuyifumana kwiminyaka engamashumi amathandathu, ngequbuliso yaphuma isithi, “Huh. Yintoni ukuba? "
Ndandiyazi kakuhle into endandikuyo.
“Umvangeli ongumKatolika ngumntu oshumayela iVangeli, yokuba uYesu Kristu uyiNdlela, iNyaniso, noBomi.”
"Ke, kungcono uyeke ukunqula uMariya..."
Yaye ngaloo nto, le ndoda yaqalisa ukuvuk’ umnwe ngendlela iCawa yamaKatolika engeyiyo iCawa yokwenene, into nje eyaqanjwayo malunga neminyaka eli-1500 eyadlulayo; ukuba useka "ulungelelwaniso olutsha lwehlabathi", kwaye uPopu uFrancis ubiza "inkolo yehlabathi enye" ... [1]cf. Ngaba uFrancis Wakhuthaza Unqulo Olunye Lwehlabathi? Ndazama ukuphendula kwezo zityholo zakhe, kodwa wayesoloko endiqhawula phakathi kwesigwebo. Emva kwemizuzu eli-10 yotshintshiselwano olungemnandanga, ekugqibeleni ndathi kuye, “Mhlekazi, ukuba ucinga ukuba ndilahlekile, mhlawumbi ufanele uzame ukuwuzuza umphefumlo wam kunokuxabana.”
Ngelo xesha, omnye wabakhweli beenkomo abancinci wakhwaza. "Ndingakuthengela ikofu?" Kwaye emva koko, sabalekela kwindawo yokutya.
Wayengumntu onobubele—owahluke ngokupheleleyo kugxa wakhe owayenekratshi. Waqalisa ukundibuza imibuzo ngonqulo lwam lobuKatolika. Ngokucacileyo, wayefunda iingxabano chasene UbuKatolika, kodwa ngengqondo evulekileyo. Ngokukhawuleza, peter yaba ngundoqo wengxoxo yethu. [2]Ingxoxo yaqhubela phambili ngale migca, nangona ndongeze ulwazi olubalulekileyo lwembali apha ukujikeleza i-theology.
Waqala, “Xa uYesu wathi, Wena unguPetros, yaye ndiya kulakhela phezu kolu lwalwa ibandla lam. umbhalo-ngqangi wesiGrike uthi, ‘Nguwe Petros kwaye kule petra Ndiya kulakha ibandla lam.' Petros lithetha “ilitye elincinane” njengendawo apho petra lithetha “ilitye elikhulu.” Eyona nto yayithethwa nguYesu yayikukuba “Petros, ulilitye elincinane, kodwa phezu kwam, “ilitye elikhulu” ndiya kulakha iBandla lam.
“Ewe, ngesiGrike,” ndaphendula ngelitshoyo, “igama elithi “ilitye” ngokwenene petra. Kodwa uhlobo lobudoda oko petros. Ke ekuthiyweni kukaPetros, imo yobudoda yayiya kusetyenziswa. Akulunganga ngokwegrama ukusetyenziswa petra xa kuthethwa ngendoda. Ngaphandle koko, ubhekisa kuhlobo lwakudala lwesiGrike, olwalusetyenziswa ukusuka kwinkulungwane yesibhozo ukuya kweyesine ngaphambi kweXesha lethu Eliqhelekileyo, kwaye nalapho, ubukhulu becala yayivalelwe imibongo yamaGrike. Ulwimi lwababhali beTestamente eNtsha yayilulwimi lwesiKoine lwesiGrike apho hayi umahluko kwinkcazo wenziwa phakathi iipetros kwaye petra.”
Ngokungafaniyo nomdala wakhe, inkomo encinci yaphulaphula ngenyameko.
Kodwa akukho nanye kwezi nto eneneni, yaye isizathu sikukuba uYesu wayengathethi isiGrike, kodwa isiAramiki. Alikho igama elithi “ubufazi” okanye “ubudoda” elithetha “ilitye” kulwimi lwakhe lomthonyama. Ngoko uYesu ngewayethe, “Nguwe Kepha, kwaye kule kepha Ndiya kwakha iBandla lam.” Kwanabanye abaphengululi bamaProtestanti bayavumelana kule ngongoma.
I-Aramiki esisiseko kule meko ayinakuphikiswa; mhlawumbi kepha lisetyenziswe kuwo omabini amagatya (“u kepha” yaye “kule nto kepha” ), ekubeni eli gama lalisetyenziswa kwigama nakwigama elithi “ilitye.” —Isifundiswa saseBhaptizi uDA Carson; Amagqabantshintshi ngeBhayibhile, umqulu. 8, Zondervan, 368
“Sekunjalo,” yakhalaza inkwenkwe yenkomo, “UYesu lilitye. UPetros yindoda nje. Ukuba kukho nantoni na, uYesu wayethetha nje ukuba wayeya kulakhela iBandla Lakhe phezu kokholo lukaPetros.”
Ndiye ndamjonga emehlweni ndancuma. Kwandihlaziya kakhulu ukudibana nomKristu weVangeli owayevuleleke kwingxoxo-mpikiswano ngaphandle kobutshaba endandibufumene ngaphambili.
Kaloku, into yokuqala endiyiphawuleyo kwesi sibhalo kukuba uYesu wayengapheleli nje ekuncomeni ukholo lukaPetros. Enyanisweni, yayibaluleke gqitha into yokuba atshintshe igama lakhe! “Unoyolo wena Simon kaYona!… kwaye ndithi kuwe, unguPetros…” [3]cf. Mat 16: 17-18 Oku akuthethi ukuba uYesu wayemjongela phantsi ‘njengelitye elincinane’ kodwa, enyanisweni, wayephakamisa iwonga lakhe. Oku kuguqulwa kwegama kusikhumbuza omnye umlinganiswa webhayibhile awathi uThixo wahluka kwabanye abantu: uAbraham. INkosi ivakalisa intsikelelo kuye kwaye iliguqule negama lakhe, ngokusekwe kwakhona, ngokuphawulekayo, kwelakhe ukholo. Into ebangela umdla kukuba intsikelelo ka-Abraham iza ngombingeleli omkhulu uMelkitsedeki. UPawulos wathi, ibe uYesu wayefanekisela kwangaphambili aze aphumeze indima yakhe ‘yokuba ngumbingeleli omkhulu ngonaphakade ngokohlobo lukaMelkitsedeke. [4]I-Heb 6: 20
[UMelkitsedeki] wamsikelela uAbram ngala mazwi: “Makasikelelwe uAbram nguThixo Osenyangweni, umdali wezulu nehlabathi”… Akusayi kuthiwa nguAbram; igama lakho liya kuba nguAbraham, kuba ndikwenze uyise wengxokolo yeentlanga. ( Gen 14:19 )
“Ubusazi na,” ndambuza, “ukuba igama elithi “popu” lisuka kwelesiLatini elithi “papa”, elithetha utata?” Wanqwala. “KuMnqophiso oMdala, uThixo wamisa uAbraham njengoyise wengxokolo yezizwe. KuMnqophiso Omtsha, uPetros ubekwe njengoyise phezu kwezizwe ngokunjalo, nangona ekwimo entsha. Igama elithi "catholic", enyanisweni, lithetha "ihlabathi jikelele." UPetros uyintloko yeCawa yehlabathi.”
“Andiboni ngolo hlobo nje,” watsho ekhalaza. “UYesu yintloko yeBandla.”
“Kodwa uYesu akasekho emhlabeni ngokwenyama,” ndatsho (ngaphandle koMthendeleko oNgcwele). “Esinye isihloko sikaPopu sithi “Vicar of Christ”, nto leyo ethetha ngokulula ummeli wakhe. Yeyiphi inkampani engenaye i-CEO, okanye umbutho ongumongameli, okanye iqela elingumqeqeshi? Ngaba akukho ngqiqweni ukuba iCawa nayo ibe nentloko ebonakalayo?”
"Ndifanele ukuba…"
“Ke, yayinguPetros kuphela awathi uYesu, 'Ndiya kukunika izitshixo zoBukumkani.' Oku kubaluleke kakhulu, akunjalo? Emva koko uYesu uxelela uPetros oko Othe wakubopha emhlabeni, kubotshwa emazulwini; othe wakukhulula emhlabeni, kokhululwa emazulwini. Enyanisweni, uYesu wayesazi kanye oko wayekwenza xa wayethetha loo mazwi—wayesuka ngqo kuIsaya 22.”
Amehlo ale nkwenkwe ayethe ntsho ngenxa yokufuna ukwazi. Ndathatha ifowuni yam, eneBhayibhile yedijithali, ndaza ndatyhila kuIsaya 22.
Ngoku, ngaphambi kokuba ndifunde oku, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba kwiTestamente Endala, kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba ookumkani baseMpuma Ekufuphi babeke “inkulumbuso” yohlobo oluthile phezu kobukumkani babo. Wayeza kunikwa igunya likakumkani phezu kommandla. KuIsaya, sifunda ngokuchanekileyo oku: umkhonzi uEliyakim enikwe igunya likaDavide ukumkani:
ndiya kumambesa ingubo yakho yangaphantsi, ndibhinqe umbhinqo wakho, ndimnike igunya lakho. Yena uya kuba nguyise kubemi baseYerusalem, nowendlu kaYuda. Ndiya kusibeka isitshixo sendlu kaDavide egxalabeni lakhe; avulayo kungabikho uvalayo, asukuba evala, kungabikho uvulayo; Ndiya kumbethelela njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinileyo, isihlalo sembeko kwindlu yoyise. ( Isaya 22:20-23 )
Njengoko ndandifunda eso sicatshulwa, ndanqumama kwiindawo ezithile. “Qaphela ireferensi yeengubo kunye nemibhinqo esayinxitywayo namhlanje?… Qaphela ireferensi ethi “tata”?… qaphela “isitshixo”?… qaphela “ukubopha nokukhulula” kungqamene “nokuvulwa nokuvala”?… jonga ukuba injani i-ofisi yakhe “ ilungisiwe?"
Akazange athethe kakhulu umfana wenkomo, kodwa ndawabona amavili enqwelo yakhe ejikelezayo.
“Ingongoma yile: UYesu wadala esesikhundleni, esenziwa nguPetros kuphela iyabamba. Enyanisweni, bonke abaPostile abaLishumi elineSibini baneofisi.”
Washukuma engakhululekanga esitulweni sakhe, kodwa ngokungaqhelekanga, waqhubeka emamele.
“Ngaba ukubonile kwinkcazelo yesiXeko sikaThixo kwincwadi yesiTyhilelo, ukuba kukho amatye esiseko alishumi elinesibini phantsi kodonga lwesixeko?”
Udonga lomzi luneziseko zaso ezilishumi elinambini, ekubhalwe kuzo amagama abapostile abalishumi elinababini bayo iMvana. ( ISityhilelo 21:14 )
“Inokwenzeka njani loo nto,” ndaqhubeka, “ukuba uYudas wangcatshwa UYesu waza wazibulala? Ngaba uYudas unokuba lilitye lesiseko? "
“Hm… hayi.”
“Ukuba utyhila kwisahluko sokuqala seZenzo, uyabona ukuba banyula uMatiya endaweni kaYudas. Kodwa kutheni? Kutheni, xa kukho inkitha yamaKristu ehlanganisene ndawonye, yayiya kuvakalelwa kukuba kufuneka ithabathele indawo kaYudas? Kuba bebezalisa iofisi.”
'Kwanga omnye angathatha iofisi yakhe.' (IZenzo 1: 20)
"Apha, ubona isiqalo" sokulandelelana kwabapostile. Yiyo loo nto namhlanje sinoopopu abangama-266. Uninzi lwabo sibazi ngamagama, kubandakanywa nexesha ababelawula ngalo. UYesu wathembisa ukuba “amasango eHadesi” akayi kuloyisa iBandla, yaye sihlobo sam, akenzanga njalo—nangona maxa wambi siye saba noopopu aboyikekayo nabakhohlakeleyo.
Wathi: “Khangela, eyona nto ibalulekileyo kum kukuba asingobantu, kodwa yiBhayibhile engumlinganiselo wenyaniso.”
Ndathi: “Ewe, asiyonto ithethwa yiBhayibhile leyo. Ndingayifumana ikopi yakho?” Wandinika iCowboy Bible yakhe apho ndatyhila kweyoku-1 kaTimoti 3:15:
…Indlu kaThixo […] libandla likaThixo ophilileyo, intsika nesiseko senyaniso. ( 1 Tim 3:15 , NW )
“Mandiyibone loo nto,” watsho. Ndamnika ibhayibhile yakhe, ndaqhubeka.
“Ngoko yiCawa, ingeyiyo iBhayibhile, “engumlinganiselo” wokumisela oko kuyinyaniso, nokungeyiyo. IBhayibhile ivela eCaweni, hayi ngenye indlela. [5]“Imibhalo engcwele” okanye iincwadi zeBhayibhile zamiselwa ngoobhishophu bamaKatolika kumabhunga aseCarthage (393, 397, 419 AD) naseHippo (393 AD). cf. Ingxaki esisiseko Enyanisweni, kwakungekho Bhayibhile kwiinkulungwane ezine zokuqala zeCawa, ibe nalapho, yayingafumaneki lula de kwakwiinkulungwane kamva kumatshini wokushicilela. Ingongoma yile: xa uYesu wayethuma abaPostile, akazange abanike ibhegi enegranola, iimaphu, isibane kunye neBhayibhile yabo. Wathi nje:
Hambani ke ngoko niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga… nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endiniyalele zona. Niyabona, mna ndinani yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwephakade eli. ( Mateyu 28:19-20 )
Ekuphela kwento ababenayo yayiyinkumbulo yoko uYesu wayebaxelele kona, yaye okubaluleke ngakumbi, isithembiso sakhe sokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uya “kubakhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso.” [6]cf. Yohane 16:13 Ngoko ke, umgangatho ongenakuphoswa wenyaniso uya kuba ngabapostile ngokwabo, nabalandela emva kwabo. Kungenxa yoko le nto uYesu wathi kwabalishumi elinambini:
Lowo umamelayo nina uyamamela. Nabani na onigatyayo uyandigatya. Lowo ke ugiba mna, ugiba lowo wandithumayo. (ULuka 10:16)
“Ngokuphathelele uPetros, uPopu wokuqala, indima yakhe yayiza kuba ngumqondiso obonakalayo womanyano lweCawa nomqinisekisi wokuthobela inyaniso. Kuba ebesithi kuye kathathu, Dlisa izimvu zam. [7]cf. UYohane 15: 18-21 Ndingakuxelela oku, akukho mfundiso yeCawa yamaKatolika “eyayilwayo” ngaxa lithile ukutyhubela iinkulungwane. Yonke imfundiso yeCawe isuka “kwidiphozithi yokholo” awayishiyayo uYesu kubapostile. Ingummangaliso ngokwayo into yokuba inyaniso igcinwe emva kweminyaka engama-2000. Kwaye ndicinga ukuba kufanele kube njalo. Kuba ukuba ‘inyaniso iyasikhulula’, siyazi kakuhle eyona nyaniso. Ukuba ngumcimbi wethu ngamnye wethu ukutolika iBhayibhile, ngoko, ke, unayo le nto siyenzayo namhlanje: amashumi amawaka eemvaba ebanga loo nto. bona yiba nenyaniso. ICawa yamaKatolika bubungqina nje bokuba uYesu wayethetha oko wayekuthetha. Ngokwenene uMoya umkhokelele ‘kuyo yonke inyaniso’. Kwaye oku kungqinwa ngokulula namhlanje. Sinayo le nto ibizwa ngokuba nguGoogle. " [8]Noko ke, ndamcebisa ukuba aye kuye Katolika.com aze achwetheze imibuzo yakhe apho ukuze afumane iimpendulo ezibalaseleyo, ezingokwemfundo, nezinengqiqo zokuba kutheni amaKatolika ekholelwa into esiyenzayo kuyo yonke into ukusuka kuMariya ukuya kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo.
Satsho saphakama saxhawulana. Lo mfana wathi: “Ngoxa ndingavumelani nawe, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kugoduka ndize ndicinge ngeyoku-1 kuTimoti 3:15 nebandla njengentsika yenyaniso. Inika umdla kakhulu…"
“Ewe kunjalo,” ndaphendula ngelitshoyo. Yiloo nto ithethwa yiBhayibhile, akunjalo?”
