Okwangoku, rhoqo, isifungo sithathwa phakathi kokuqokelela amafu kunye neenkqwithela ezothusayo… iMelika kufuneka idlale indima yayo ekungeniseni ixesha elitsha loxolo. -UMongameli uBarack Hussein Obama, INtetho yokuSungulwaNgomhla we-20 kaJanuwari ngo-2009

 

SO... Intoni if U-Obama uqala ukuzisa uzinzo kwihlabathi? Intoni if uxinzelelo lwangaphandle luqala ukudamba? Intoni if Imfazwe e-Iraq ibonakala ngathi iyaphela? Intoni if iingxaki zobuhlanga ziyadamba? Intoni if iimarike zentengiso ziqala ukunyuka? Intoni if kubonakala ngathi kukho uxolo olutsha emhlabeni?

Ndiza kukuxelela ukuba yi uxolo lobuxoki. Kuba alunakubakho uxolo lwenene kunye noluhlala luhleli xa ukufa esibelekweni kufakwe "njengelungelo" kwindalo iphela.

Oku kubhalwa, okwapapashwa okokuqala nge-5 kaNovemba ka-2008, kuhlaziyiwe ukusuka kwintetho yanamhlanje yokuvula.

 

ISIMBI SENTSIMBI ESIMNYAMA


Abaxhasi baka-Obama emva konyulo

Ndonwabe kakhulu, ngakumbi kubantu abamnyama baseMelika, ukuba ilizwe labo lithathe inyathelo elikhulu kangaka ekulungiseni ucalucalulo lwexesha elidlulileyo olwenza ukuba umongameli omnyama abe yinto engenakwenzeka. Kodwa yeyiphi na into ehlekisayo kukuba ngelixa ucango olunye lucalucalulo luvalwa, olu lonyulo luvula olunye, ulwaphulo oloyikisayo lwamalungelo oluntu. Ayizukuphela kwesithembiso sika-Obama sokudlula UMthetho weNkululeko yoKhetho (FOCA) izisa ukubulawa kweentsana eMelika, amanye amazwe, afana neWashington, Ndisandula ukupasa izigqibo ukwenza ukuzibulala kulilungelo elisemthethweni, kwaye eMichigan, inyathelo lokwandisa ukusetyenziswa kweeseli ezinamakhonkco ukusuka kwimibungu yabantu yophando nayo idlulile. Sele "utshintsho" luqala ukutshayela ilizwe! Lo myalezo ungakanani kulutsha: "Ubomi buyanikezeleka! Ubomi, xa bube sisiphazamiso, bunokupheliswa! Ubomi, xa kungasabonwa ukuba bufanele ukuphila, buyanyameka!" Ndikhwaza ngokumanyeneyo kunye nabaninzi kuni: ukufa ayiyompendulo yokubandezeleka kwale nkcubeko. NguYesu kuphela! NguYesu kuphela! Nguye kuphela oyindlela, nenyaniso, nobomi. Nguye kuphela "Lowo."

Uxolo asikokungabikho nje kwemfazwe okanye ulondolozo olulula lokulingana kwamandla phakathi kwemikhosi, kwaye akunakubekwa kumandla okuphelisa amandla. Ibizwa, ngokufanelekileyo nangokuchanekileyo, umsebenzi wobulungisa. Yimveliso yocwangco, iodolo efakwe eluntwini ngumsunguli wayo ongcwele, ukuze kufezekiswe ngokusebenza njengamadoda alambele kwaye enxanelwe ubulungisa obugqibeleleyo. -Umgaqo-siseko wePastor on the Church in the Modern World, iBhunga leSibini leVatican, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqulu IV, iphe. 470-471

Kwangoko kwiintsuku zokuqala zika-Mongameli, i-FOCA ingadluliselwa, isuse nayiphi na imiqobo esele ikho yokuqhomfa. Isimanga soku kukuba lo Mthetho uxhaswe nguMzali oCwangcisiweyo- umbutho onomsunguli wawo, uMargaret Sanger, wayezimisele ukunciphisa, ukuba angabasusi abantu abamnyama ngokukhupha isisu kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yi "The Negro Project." Yayichazwa njengenkqubo yokuxhotyiswa kwabantsundu, kodwa iingcambu zikaSanger zaseAryan zingqina injongo emnyama, enye efumana amandla amatsha ngeFOCA.

Sibe ngamaxhoba okubulawa kwabantu zizandla zethu. —ISityhi. UJohnny M. Hunter, umlawuli wezoBomi, ezeMfundo kunye neNethiwekhi yezixhobo (FUNDA), owona mbutho mkhulu wobomi wabantu abamnyama eMelika

 

SELE ULUNGELE?

Bazalwane noodade bam abathandekayo, sithabathe uhambo lokundwendwela kulungiselelwa kuleminyaka mithathu idlulileyo. Ewe, igama elinye elishwankathela yonke le mibhalo linje "Lungisa!" Silungiselela ntoni? Lungiselela ukushunyayelwa kokugqibela kweli xesha; lungiselela utshintsho esele luqalisile kwindalo; lungiselela intshutshiso; lungiselela i "Ukujongana okokugqibela"eya kuphelela kwi Ukuphumelela yabo bonke abanazo kwangena iTyeya kwezi ntsuku. Ngaba olu nyulo asikokuhluzwa kwengqolowa kumququ? Kuba eyokugqibela yedemokhrasi yamaKristu ehlabathini uwele ezandleni zabo bazakuphelisa "iinjongo zakwalizwi" ezindala, okanye njengoko uMongameli u-Obama wayibeka kwintetho yakhe yokuvula, "iimfundiso ezigugileyo, ixesha elide sizikrwitsha ezopolitiko zethu. " Lixesha, iinjineli zentlalo zimisele, ukuba zingenise "ixesha elitsha" lokucinga kunye nolwakhiwo. Bemi endleleni "ngabanqolobi" balo myalelo mtsha: abo babambelela kwimithetho kaThixo engenakuguqulwa, ngakumbi uBawo oyiNgcwele kunye neegusha ezimi naye. Ke, utshintsho lwezopolitiko eMntla Merika yenye yezinto ezingaphezulu kweegiya kwi Umsebenzi omkhulu, nangona kunjalo, isisiseko.

Ngoku simi ebusweni beyona ngxabano inkulu yembali eye yadlula ebantwini. Andiqondi ukuba izangqa ezibanzi zoluntu lwaseMelika okanye iindawo ezibanzi zoluntu lobuKristu ziyakuqonda oku ngokupheleleyo. Sijongene nengxabano yokugqibela phakathi kweCawa kunye ne-anti-Church, yeVangeli kunye ne-anti-Gospel. Olu ngquzulwano luphakathi kwezicwangciso zolungiselelo lukaThixo. Lulingo oluthi iBandla liphela. . . kufuneka uthathe phezulu.  -Ukhadinali Karol Wotyla owaba ngu-Pope John Paul II kwiminyaka emibini kamva; laphinda lashicilelwa ngoNovemba 9, 1978 The Wall Street Journal

Ngokuphathelene noku, iCatechism inokuninzi ekuyithethayo malunga nabo bathembisa umhlaba omtsha ngokusekwe kulungelelwaniso lwabo, hayi olukaMdali:

Ngaphambi kokuza kwesibini kukaKrestu, iBandla kufuneka lidlule kwityala lokugqibela eliza kugungqisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaninzi. Intshutshiso ehamba nohambo lwayo emhlabeni iyakutyhila "imfihlakalo yobugwenxa" ngohlobo lwenkohliso yenkolo enika amadoda isisombululo kwiingxaki zawo ngexabiso lokuwexuka kwinyaniso. Eyona nkohliso iphambili yenkolo yeyomchasi-Kristu, ubuxoki-mesiya apho umntu azizukisayo endaweni kaThixo nakuMesiya wakhe esenyameni. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 675  

 

AMAZA OTSHINTSHO

As amaza amangalisayo kwaye makhulu
wabetha unxweme lwaseMaine kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokhetho lwase-US, la mazwi athunyelwe kum ngomnye wabafundi bam. Banikwa umama waseMelika ohamba ngegama lika "Jennifer." Kufanelekile ukuba baqondwe kuba amanye "amagama" athe wanikwa wona sele enzekile:

Ndiza kuwe namhlanje ukuxelela ukuba amaza otshintsho azakuvela kungekudala. Kuya kubakho iyantlukwano enkulu kwisizwe njengoko umhlaba uqhubeka ukuphendula kubunzulu besono somntu. Entshona uyakuthulula umhlaba ungcangcazela lotshintsho kwaye empuma kuyakuvela umqondiso wokukhanya okukhulu okuya kuvusa abantu bam kwinceba yam. Xa uqala ukubona ukuwa okukhulu kwamaziko akho emali yazi ukuba icebo lam loluntu liza kuphumelela kungekudala. —Amagama Avela KuYesuNge-15 kaDisemba ngo-2005

Esinye isimangalo, utshilo uYesu, iya kuba xa isimilo sobuKristu siqala ukupheliswa eluntwini:

Bantu bam, xa ihlabathi lifuna ukuthulisa ubukho bam kwiindlela zenu zokuphila, yazini ukuba ubulungisa buza kubakho ngokukhawuleza. Bantu bam, anikho kwixesha lokuzola, kunoko lixesha apho iNceba yam iphuma kwimitha yentliziyo yam eNgcwele. —Amagama Avela KuYesuNge-15 kaDisemba ngo-2005

Ewe lungiselela ukulandela uKholo uYesu awalunikezela kuthi ngaBapostile baKhe kwaye awathi waliphalaza igazi laKhe-uphalazo oluya kuthi alucele nakwabanye kuthi.

Abanye babaxhasi baka-Obama baye bathuka ngokuchasene namaKrestu anentiyo enkulu malunga nenkxaso engagungqiyo kamongameli omtsha yokukhupha isisu kunye nokutshata kwabantu besini esinye, esithi iBhayibhile isixelela ukuba sithandazele iinkokheli zethu singabagxeki. Ewe, bathandazele, kodwa ume ecaleni? Ayisiyo le nto ithethwa yiBhayibhile yam:

Nokuba kulungile emehlweni kaThixo ukuba sithobele wena kunokuba sithobele uThixo, nibe ngabagwebi. Akunakwenzeka ukuba singathethi ngento esiyibonileyo nesiyivileyo. (Izenzo 4: 19-20)

Nangona zonke iintlanga ezikummandla kakumkani zimthobela, ngokokude umntu ngamnye ashiye inkolo yooyise kwaye avume kwimiyalelo kakumkani, kodwa mna noonyana bam nezalamane zam siya kuwugcina umnqophiso woobawo bethu. UThixo akasivumeli ukuba siwushiye umthetho nemiyalelo. Asiyi kuwathobela amazwi kakumkani kwaye singasuki kwinkolo yethu nakancinci. (1 Macc 2: 19-22)

Yiyo loo nto kufuneka silungiselele ngaphezulu uthando.

 

UTHANDO, UTHANDO, UTHANDO

Iminyaka, kubonakala ngathi uMama wethu osikelelekileyo ebesibiza esithi "Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza." Kodwa namhlanje, ndiva amagama amatsha entliziyweni yam adumbayo njengamaza ovuyo:

Uthando, uthando, uthando!

Sukuvumela amadabi abonakalayo ukuba akukhokelele ekukhanyeni! Iyure yeNceba iyasondela kodwa nayo Iyure xa iBandla kufuneka lingene kwiGadi yoThando kwaye unikezele konke kuYise ngenxa yokusindisa imiphefumlo elahlekileyo. Lilixa laxa izityholo zotshaba lwethu ziya kuphendulwa ngobulumko bokuthula, kunye neyeza lokuxolela, kunye negazi lenceba. Umntu unokuthi "athande, athande, athande" ukuba umntu uthathe ixesha "lokuthandaza, ukuthandaza, ukuthandaza," kuba uthando nguMoya oyiNgcwele, incindi yobuthixo etsalwe ngeVini kaKristu mthandazo kuthi thina bangamasebe. Ngokudibana noThixo isiqhamo sothando siyazalwa, isiqhamo esiya kuhlala ixesha elide emva kokuphela kweli xesha.

Uxolo ke sisiqhamo sothando; Uthando ligqitha koko kunokufikelelwa ngumthetho. Uxolo emhlabeni, luzelwe luthando ngommelwane, luphawu kunye nefuthe loxolo lukaKristu oluqukuqela luvela kuThixo uYise. -Umgaqo-siseko wePastor on the Church in the Modern World, iBhunga leSibini leVatican, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyureUmqulu IV, iphe. 471

Kodwa kufuneka sinyanisile, zihlobo zam. Ngaphandle kokuba umhlaba wamkele olu xolo lwenene olusiseko salo siyinyaniso…

… Uluntu, esele lusemngciphekweni omkhulu, lunokujamelana nokuba luye lwahamba phambili kakhulu kulwazi, loo mhla wentlekele xa ungalwazi olunye uxolo ngaphandle koloyiko olubi loyiko lokufa. -Umgaqo-siseko wePastor on the Church in the Modern World, iBhunga leSibini leVatican, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyureUmqulu IV, iphe. 475

Nokuba, njengoko u-Obama wathembisayo kwintetho yakhe yokuvula, "Si […] buyisela inzululwazi kwindawo yayo efanelekileyo, kwaye sisebenzisa izinto ezimangalisayo zetekhnoloji. "NguThixo ekufuneka abuyiselwe kwindawo yakhe efanelekileyo kwizizwe zethu nasezintliziyweni zethu!

Isuka kumfundi emva konyulo:

Njengokuba ndibukele iziphumo zonyulo phezolo, kwaye isihlwele sihlanganisene sizokuvuyela u "Barack"… ndive entliziyweni yam, endaweni yegama lakhe, isihlwele sibiza "uBharabhas!" Abantu bakaThixo, amaKrestu, amaKatolika kweli lizwe akhethe u-Obama-ukungahoyi uBawo wethu Oyingcwele, kunye no-Bishop wethu, kunye nezicelo zoMbingeleli wethu zokuvota ukukhusela ubungcwele babo bonke ubomi bomntu-betyeshela nezibhalo ezithi, "Ukuba abantu bam, abo igama lam libizwe phezu kwabo, bayazithoba bathandaze, bafuna ubuso bam, babuye ezindleleni zabo ezimbi, ndiya kubava ndisemazulwini ndize ndibaxolele izono zabo ndize ndilivuselele ilizwe labo." Ke, njengoPilato, wathi akusiva isikhalo esithi uBharabhas, wenza isigwebo sakhe, wabakhulula abantu into abayinqwenelayo…. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo uya kugweba kwaye anike abantu bakhe abakucelileyo. 

Kuyingqondo phakathi kwabaninzi kwihlabathi liphela ukuba isohlwayo sinokwehlela uluntu olungaguqukiyo kungekudala. Ukuba kunjalo, ubulungisa bukaThixo buya kuba sisenzo senceba sokuphelisa inkcubeko yokufa ethe yatshabalalisa ubumsulwa bemiphefumlo emininzi ephilayo yaza yathatha ubomi abamsulwa abangenakubalwa. U-Obama wathi, 

Kwabo bafuna ukuqhubela phambili iinjongo zabo ngokuphembelela uloyiko kunye nokubulala abantu abamsulwa, sithi kuwe ngoku umoya wethu womelele kwaye awunokwaphulwa; awunakudlula kuthi, kwaye siza koyisa. -INtetho yokuSungulwaNgomhla we-20 kaJanuwari ngo-2009

Kufuneka sithandaze ukuba isigqibo sakhe siqale ekhaya, ekukhuseleni abasesichengeni nabangenalo ilizwi, ikamva elingekazalwa laseMelika. 

 

UNGATHINI UKUBA? 

Intoni if Umhlaba usinika ithemba loxolo, ukhuseleko kunye nozinzo? Ukuba kunjalo
ngaphandle kukaKristu, qaphela isithixo, kwaye unqabe ukuqubuda kuso:

Kuba xenikweni baya kuthi, Luxolo nokunqaba, oko baya kufikelwa yintshabalaliso ngebhaqo, kwanjengenimba komithiyo; baye bengayi kukha basinde. (1 Tes. 5: 3)
