SOLMENITY ST. UPETRU NOPAWULOS
LAPHO Uhlangothi olufihliwe kulobu buhlubuki oluthi ngezikhathi ezithile luye kule kholomu — ukubhala izincwadi eziya ngapha nangapha phakathi kwami nabangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, abangakholwa, abangabazayo, abangabazayo, futhi-ke abathembekile. Eminyakeni emibili edlule, bengikhuluma ne-Seventh Day Adventist. Ukushintshana kube nokuthula nenhlonipho, yize igebe phakathi kwezinye zezinkolelo zethu lisahlala. Le mpendulo elandelayo ngambhalela yona ngonyaka owedlule mayelana nokuthi kungani iSabatha lingasasetshenziswa ngoMgqibelo eSontweni LamaKatolika nakulo lonke eLobukholwa. Wayesho ukuthini? Ukuthi iSonto LamaKatolika liphule Umyalo Wesine [1]ifomula yendabuko yeCatechetical ibala lo myalo njengoThathu ngokushintsha usuku ama-Israyeli ‘alungcwelisa’ ngalo iSabatha. Uma kunjalo, khona-ke kunezizathu zokusikisela ukuthi iSonto LamaKatolika linjalo hhayi iSonto leqiniso njengoba esho, nokuthi ukugcwala kweqiniso kuhlala kwenye indawo.
Sithatha inkhulumomphendvulwano yethu lapha yokuthi amasiko obuKrestu asekelwe emiBhalweni ngaphandle kokuchazwa kweBandla ngokungenaphutha…
INCAZELO YESIHLOKO YOMBHALO
Encwadini yakho edlule, ucaphune u-2 Thim 3: 10-15 ngenzuzo yomBhalo. Kepha abaPhostoli ngokwabo kabazange bathathe imiBhalo yodwa njengegunya labo kuphela. Okokuqala, uSt.Paul noma uPeter abahambanga bephethe iKing James ngesandla. Sobabili siyazi ukuthi kwathatha amakhulu amane eminyaka ukuba kwenziwe uhlu lwezincwadi zemibhalo ngesikhathi ababhishobhi bamaKatolika behlangana emkhandlwini ukumemezela 
uhlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi ibhayibheli litholakale ngokukhululeka kumakhulu eminyaka esidlangalaleni. Ngakho-ke, ku-2 Timothy, uSt. Paul uthi, “Wathathe njengomkhuba wakho amazwi aphilileyo owawezwa kimi. " [2]I-2 Tim 1: 13 Uxwayisa ngalabo “ngeke bayibekezelele imfundiso ephilayo kodwa, belandela izifiso zabo siqu nelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi okunganeliseki, bayonqwabelanisa abafundisi futhi bayoyeka ukulalela iqiniso . . . [3]2 Thim4: 3 Ngakho, waxwayisa uThimothewu encwadini yakhe yokuqala ethi “gcina lokho okuphathisiwe. [4]1 Thim 20 USt.Paul akazange amnike ibhayibheli, kodwa ngezincwadi zakhe uqobo nakho konke amfundisa ngakho kokubili ezibhaliwe futhi ngomlomo. [5]I-2 Thess 2: 15 Ngakho-ke, kuThimothewu, uSt. Paul uyaqiniseka ukuthi uyaqonda ukuthi “insika nesisekelo seqiniso” akuyona incazelo yemiBhalo evumelana nesisekelo, kodwa “indlu kaNkulunkulu, okuyisonto likaNkulunkulu ophilayo. " [6]I-1 Tim 3: 15 Iliphi iBandla lelo? Lona lapho uPetru esabambe khona “izihluthulelo zombuso” [7]I-Matt 16: 18 Ngaphandle kwalokho, uma lungekho idwala, khona-ke iSonto selivele ladilika.
Lokho kungukubuyekeza izingxoxo zethu zangaphambilini. Kepha kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi iSonto lokuqala kusukela ekuqaleni lalisebenza ngaphansi kothishanhloko be- Igunya, njengoba kumiswe uKristu Uqobo Lwakhe. Kusukela ekuqaleni, imiphi imithetho yomthetho okufanele igcinwe kanye naleyo eyayingasabophi kwakufanele isheshiswe emikhandlwini yabo (isib. Izenzo 10, 11, 15) ngokomthetho omusha kaKristu ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esisha. Lokhu ngokuvamile kwakunganqunywa ngokufundwa kwemiBhalo ngokwezwi nezwi, kodwa ngezambulo ezanikezwa uPetru noPawulu ngemibono nangezinye izibonakaliso. Kuleli qophelo, impikiswano yokuthi imiBhalo yayiwukuphela komhlahlandlela womPhostoli iyahlukana. Kunalokho, kwakunguMoya oNgcwele othenjisiwe owawuyo “baholele kulo lonke iqiniso" [8]John 16: 13 lokho kwase kuqondisa iSonto. Yingakho iSonto LamaKatolika lingakaze libhekisele emiBhalweni kuphela. Empeleni, safunda oFata beSonto bokuqala kanye noSt. Paul bejezisa labo abasuka egunyeni lobuPhostoli.
Kodwa lokhu akubanikezanga abaPhostoli igunya lokukhetha nokukhetha noma yini, kunalokho, kwakufanele babe izivikelo zalokho iNkosi eyayikufundisa neyambulela kubo ngaphambi kokufa kwabo.
… Yimani niqinile futhi nibambelele emasikweni enanifundiswa wona, kungaba ngesitatimende somlomo noma ngencwadi yethu. (2 Thes. 2:15)
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lawo masiko, njengamahlumela ezimbali, azoqhubeka nokuvula amaqiniso nezincazelo zawo ezijulile njengoba iSonto likhula:
Ngisenokuningi engizonitshela khona, kepha ningekubekezelele manje. Kodwa nxa esefikile, uMoya weqiniso, uzakuniholela kulo lonke iqiniso.” ( Johane 16:2 )
Ngakho-ke, njengoba iNkosi yathembisa, wabafundisa okuningi ngemibono, ngeziprofetho, nangezambulo. Yonke incwadi yeSambulo, isibonelo, ingumbono. Imfundiso yenkolo iSt. Paul nayo yayiyisambulo saphezulu. Ngakho-ke, eSontweni, sithi idiphozi yokholo yanikezwa ngokugcwele ngokufa koMphostoli wokugcina. Ngemuva kwalokho, igunya lobuphostoli ladluliselwa ngokubekwa kwezandla. [9]I-1 Tim 5: 22 Akunakwenzeka-ke ukuthi umKristu aphikisane nokuthi iBhayibheli liqukethe konke ngokusobala. Lokho kusho, akukho lutho ngokwesiko lomlomo oluphikisana neZwi elilotshiwe. Ukungaqondi kahle kweNkolo yamaKhatholika kungenxa yokuhumusha okuyiphutha nokuziphutha kwemiBhalo noma ukungazi okulula kokuthuthuka kwezimfundiso zeSiko. Isiko lomlomo liyingxenye yawo wonke Amasiko Angcwele aphathiswe iSonto njengoba adluliswa nguKristu noMoya oNgcwele. UNkulunkulu akaziphikisi.
LESABATHA
Ukuxoxisana ngeSiko kusisiza ukuba siqonde kangcono umkhuba weSonto weSabatha, ukuthi livelaphi nokuthi kungani Ngabe ukugcwaliseka kweSonto LamaKatolika umthetho weSabatha kwakhiwa ngumuntu, noma kuyingxenye yesambulo sikaJesu noMoya oNgcwele?
Siyabona ukuthi umkhuba weSabatha ngeSonto wawususelwe naseTestamenteni Elisha. Isiphakamiso soshintsho emthethweni, 
kufaka phakathi iSabatha, kutholakala encwadini eya kwabaseKolose:
Ngakho-ke, makungabikho muntu onisahlulela ezindabeni zokudla neziphuzo noma mayelana nomkhosi noma ukuthwasa kwenyanga noma isabatha. Lezi yizithunzi zezinto ezizayo; iqiniso elikaKristu. (2:16)
Kubukeka sengathi iBandla laligxekwa ngoshintsho oluthile lweSabatha. Eminye imiBhalo yembula ukuthi iSonto, “usuku lokuqala lwesonto,” laba elibalulekile kumaKristu. Isizathu ukuthi kuwusuku iNkosi yavuka kwabafileyo. Ngakho, amaKristu okuqala aqala ukulubiza ngokuthi “usuku lweNkosi”:
Ngabanjwa ngumoya ngosuku lweNkosi… (IsAm 1:10)
Ukubaluleka kwalolu suku njengeSabatha elisha kuyabonakala futhi kuzEnzo 20: 7 naku-1 Korinte 16: 2.
KwiTestamente Elidala, uNkulunkulu udala umhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha bese ephumula ngolwesikhombisa. NgoMgqibelo, ngokwekhalenda lesiHeberu, kwaba yiSabatha ngaleso sikhathi. Kepha kuKristu, indalo ivuselelwe ngokohlelo olusha:
Ngakho-ke uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha; izinto zakudala zidlulile; bheka, konke sekusha. (2 Kor 5:17)
Khumbula, imithetho yeTestamente Elidala iyi- &q
uot; isithunzi sezinto ezizayo; iqiniso elikaKristu.” Futhi iqiniso liwukuthi abaPhostoli babone kufanele ukuhlonipha iSabatha ngeSonto. Baphumula, kodwa “ngosuku lweNkosi” ngokwesibonelo sokuVuka kukaKristu kanye “nosuku olusha” olwaqala ngalo. Ingabe babephula uMthetho Wesine ngokuhlonipha iSabatha ngeSonto, noma kunalokho, begubha iqiniso elisha nelikhudlwana elasungulwa uKristu? Ingabe babengamlaleli uNkulunkulu ngamabomu, noma besebenzisa amandla eBandla “okubopha nokuthukulula” leyo mithetho kaMose eyathola incazelo entsha noma engasasebenzi ngaphansi koMyalo omusha? [10]I-Matt 22: 37-39
Siphinde sibheke futhi kuBaba beSonto bokuqala njengoba bebebaluleke kakhulu ekudluliseni nasekuqhubekeni nokuthuthukisa idiphozi yokholo evela kubaPhostoli. USt. Justin Martyr, ekhuluma nalesi sidalwa esisha kuKristu, uyabhala:
ISonto usuku lapho sonke siba nomhlangano wethu sonke, ngoba kuwusuku lokuqala lapho uNkulunkulu, enze ushintsho ebumnyameni nasezindabeni, enza umhlaba; noJesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu ngalolo suku wavuka kwabafileyo. -Ukuxolisa Kokuqala 67; [AD 155]
U-Athanasius uyakuqinisekisa lokhu:
ISabatha kwaba ukuphela kwendalo yokuqala, usuku lweNkosi kwaba ukuqala kwesibili, lapho avuselela khona futhi abuyisela okudala ngendlela efanayo naleyo ayala ngayo ukuthi phambilini babeligcina iSabatha njengesikhumbuzo sokuphela izinto zokuqala, ngakho-ke sihlonipha usuku lweNkosi njengesikhumbuzo sesidalwa esisha. -NgeSabatha Nokusoka 3; [AD 345]
Ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukuthi [usuku] lokuphumula ngemuva kweSabatha bekufanele ukuba lube khona kusukela ngosuku lwesikhombisa lukaNkulunkulu wethu. Ngokuphambene nalokho, nguMsindisi wethu owathi, ngokwesibonelo sokuphumula kwakhe, wasenza senziwa ngokufana nokufa kwakhe, yingakho futhi ngokuvuka kwakhe. —U-Origen [AD 229], Ukuphawula ngoJohane 2:28
USt. Justin uchaza ukuthi kungani iSabatha lingabophi ngendlela yalo yakudala kumaKristu:
… Nathi besizogcina ukusoka kwenyama, namaSabatha, futhi ngamafuphi nje wonke amadili, uma besingazi ukuthi kungani bekuyalile [kuwe] —ngukuthi, ngenxa yeziphambeko zakho nobulukhuni benhliziyo yakho… .njani, Trypho, ukuthi singayigcini leyo masiko angasilimazi — ngikhuluma ngokusoka kwenyama kanye namaSabatha nemikhosi?… uNkulunkulu wakuyalela ukuthi ugcine iSabatha, wakubekela eminye imithetho njengesibonakaliso, Sengishilo kakade, ngenxa yokungalungi kwenu nokwayihlo ... Inkhulumomphendvulwano noTrypho umJuda 18, 21
Futhi lokhu kuphakamisa iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu lapha. Uma siboshwe ngokuqinile yiTestamente Elidala, njengoba usho kule ndaba, kufanele silandele yonke imiyalo “yaphakade”:
UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrahama: “Wena nenzalo yakho emva kwakho kumelwe nigcine isivumelwano sami kuze kube phakade.
Yilesi isivumelwano sami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho eniyakusigcina: bayakusokwa bonke abesilisa bakini. Soka inyama yejwabu lakho, lokho kube wuphawu lwesivumelwano phakathi kwami nawe. Kuyo yonke iminyaka, wonke umuntu wesilisa phakathi kwenu, enezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili ubudala, uzosokwa, kufaka phakathi izigqila ezizalelwe ezindlini nalabo abazuzwe ngemali kunoma yimuphi umfokazi ongelilo igazi lakho. Yebo, zombili izigqila ezizalelwa ezindlini nalabo abatholakala ngemali kumele basokwe. Isivumelwano sami siyakuba senyameni yenu, sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade. (UGenesise 17: 9-13)
Nokho, iBandla alizange liwusebenzise umthetho wokusoka nakuba uJesu engekho lapho ekhuluma ngokuqedwa kokusoka futhi naye wasoka. Kunalokho, uSt. uPawulu ukhuluma ngeBandla eligcina umyalo nesivumelwano saphakade ngendlela entsha, engasekho ethunzini, kodwa “ngeqiniso elikaKristu.”
… Ukusoka kungokwenhliziyo, emoyeni, hhayi uhlamvu. (Roma 2:29)
Lokho kungukuthi, incwadi yeTestamente Elidala ikhomba encazelweni entsha nejulile njengoba ivela emathunzini iye ekukhanyeni kukaKristu. Kungani amaSeventh Day Adventist engasoki? Ngoba, ngokomlando, bamukela imfundiso yeSonto LamaKatolika mayelana nalokhu.
Ngoba uma noma ngubani ethi lokhu mayelana neSabatha kugcinwa, kufanele ukuthi uthi kuzonikelwa imihlatshelo yenyama. Kumele futhi asho ukuthi umyalo maqondana nokusoka komzimba usazogcinwa. Kepha ake ezwe umphostoli uPawulu ethi ephikisana naye: 'Uma usokwe, uKristu ngeke akusize ngalutho' —POPE GREGORY I [AD 597], Gal. 5: 2, (Izincwadi 13: 1)
Khumbula lokho iNkosi yethu uqobo eyakusho,
Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu, hhayi umuntu lenzelwa isabatha. (UMakho 2:27)
Ngisho neNkosi yethu yakhombisa ukuthi umkhuba weSabatha wawungeyona inkani njengoba amaJuda ayecabanga ngokukha ukolweni noma ukwenza izimangaliso ngalolo suku.
KUSUKELA EKUQALENI…
Okokugcina, sibona lomkhuba wokuphumula ngeSonto, “usuku lweNkosi,” futhi ufakazelwa phakathi nekhulu lokuqala, ngokusho kokubili kwemiBhalo kanye nesiko:
Sigcina usuku lwesishiyagalombili [iSonto] ngokuthokoza, usuku futhi uJesu avuka ngalo kwabafileyo. -Incwadi kaBarnaba [AD 74], 15: 6-8
Kepha usuku lonke lweNkosi… hlanganisanani nihlephule isinkwa, ninikele ukubonga ngemuva kokuvuma izono zenu, ukuze umhlatshelo wenu ube msulwa. Kepha makungabikho muntu ophikisana nomuntu ohlangana nawe aze abuyisane, ukuze umhlatshelo wakho ungangcoliswa. —UDidache 14, [AD 70]
… Labo abakhuliswa ngohlelo lwasendulo lwezinto [okusho amaJuda] sebefinyelele ethembeni elisha, bengasaligcini iSabatha, kepha sebephila ngokugcinwa kosuku lweNkosi, nalo futhi impilo yethu eye yavela kulo futhi ngaye nangokufa kwakhe. -Incwadi eya kwabaseMagnesia, USt. Ignatius wase-Antiyokiya [AD 110], 8
