KUSUKELA isintu savinjelwa eNsimini yase-Edene, ubelangazelela kokubili ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu nokuvumelana nemvelo — noma ngabe umuntu uyakwazi noma cha. NgeNdodana yakhe, uNkulunkulu uthembise bobabili. Kepha ngamanga, kanjalo nenyoka yasendulo.
ISIKHATHI SOKUHLOLA
INkosi yayixwayise u-Adamu no-Eva ukuthi imvelo yomuntu yayingakwazi ukuphatha ulwazi lokuhle nokubi. Ukukhetha ukudla isithelo somuthi wolwazi — okuwukuthi, ukunganaki umyalo kaNkulunkulu wemvelo nokuziphatha — kwakuzobhujiswa isintu. Kodwa inyoka yahayiza:
Ngeke ufe. Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi lapho niwudla kuwo amehlo enu azovuleka, futhi nibe njengoNkulunkulu, nazi okuhle nokubi. (UGenesise 3: 4-5)
Ngaphakathi kwala manga kutholakala uhlelo lomdlalo wesikhathi esizayo lwenkosana yobumnyama, manje esezothela izithelo. Ngemuva kwezinkulungwane zeminyaka elungisa uhlangothi olumnyama lwesintu, uSathane kuthiwa wacela uNkulunkulu ikhulu leminyaka elidlule ukuvivinya isintu. Ngakho-ke uMlobokazi Wakhe wayengeke ashiywe ebumnyameni, uNkulunkulu wavumela “idwala” leSonto ukuba lizwe futhi libone lesi sicelo esibi ngesikhathi seMisa ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1800.
U-Leo XIII wabona, embonweni, imimoya yamademoni eyayihlangene eMzini Ongunaphakade (eRoma). -Ubaba uDomenico Pechenino, ufakazi wokuzibonela; Ephemerides Liturgicae, kwabikwa ngo-1995, k. 58-59; www / .isoft.info
Ngemuva kokuphuma obala, uBaba oNgcwele washiya indawo engcwele futhi waqamba ngokushesha "Umkhuleko kuSt. Michael the Archangel," owasakazwa kubabhishobhi bomhlaba ngo-1886 ukuba bathandazelwe emva kweMisa. UPapa Leo uphinde wabhala imithandazo yokukhipha imimoya esatholakala kwiRitual yanamuhla yamaRoma. UPapa wayazi-futhi siyazi ngokubheka emuva-ukuthi ikhulu lamashumi amabili lizoba ukuvelela okungavamile emhlabeni, manje osekufinyelela esicongweni salo, njengoba uSathane elinga umuntu ukuba akhe "i-Edene entsha." Kuluhlelo oludabukisayo ukuhlehlisa isiqalekiso esasilethwa yisono sokuqala ekudalweni… into engenziwa yisiphambano kuphela.
“U-EVE OMUSHA”
Nakulokhu futhi, inyoka ibeke amasayithi ayo kuqala umfazi. Ngemuva kokuwa kokuqala, uNkulunkulu wathi ku-Eva:
Ngiyakuqinisa imihelo yokuzala kwakho; uyakuzala abantwana ngobuhlungu. (UGenesise 3:16)
Isinyathelo sokuqala sokuguqula isiqalekiso kube ngukuzalwa kobufazi obunamandla. Ukuze kuqedwe iminjunju yokuzala izingane, isixazululo esingelona iqiniso bekungukuthi ukuqeda ukubeletha ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke ukukhipha isisu nokulawulwa kokuzalwa kuthulwe njengesithelo esisha “sokhetho”.
Kepha ukunxanela kwakho kuyakuba sendodeni yakho, yona ibe yinkosi yakho. (UGenesise 3:16)
Ubufazi obudlondlobele bukhuphule indima yokuba ngubaba nobudoda, kwehlisa umehluko ohambisanayo phakathi kowesilisa nowesifazane kubuchwepheshe nje. Kuyinkinga ebhekene nenhliziyo yohlelo lukaNkulunkulu:
Inkinga yokuba ngubaba esiphila kuyo namuhla iyinto, mhlawumbe ebaluleke kakhulu, esongela umuntu ebuntwini bakhe. Ukuqedwa kobaba nokuba ngumama kuxhumene nokuqedwa kokuba ngamadodana namadodakazi ethu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), uPalermo, Mashi 15, 2000
Ngempela, ngokukhipha isisu nokwenqatshwa kobuholi bokomoya endimeni yendoda nobupristi besilisa, ubufazi obunamandla buye bazama ukwenza abesifazane babe “ngamakhosi” emizimba yabo kanye nesiphetho sabo, kodwa ngenxa yesithunzi sabo nendima yabo U-Eva (“umama wabaphilayo.”) Ekuvaleni isipho sakhe sokuzala nokuba ngumama, u-Eva omusha kufanele ngokoqobo abe “ngunina wabafileyo.”
“U-ADAMU OMUSHA”
Wathi endodeni: “Ngenxa yokuthi ulalele umkakho, wadla kulowo muthi engakuyele ukuba udle kuwo, uqalekisiwe umhlabathi ngenxa yakho; Uyakudla ukukhandleka kwawo ngokukhandleka zonke izinsuku zamanga akhofe. Uyakukuvezela ameva namakhakhasi, njengoba udla imifino yasendle. Ngesithukuthuku sobuso bakho uyakudla isinkwa udle, uze ubuyele emhlabathini, othathwe kuwo… ”(Gen 3: 17-19)
Ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe, inyoka ithembisile ukuthi amadoda angakhululwa emiphumeleni yesono sokuqala. Amakhompyutha, amafoni ahlakaniphile, kanye nokuxhumana ngejubane eliphezulu kuyaqhubeka nokuthembisa umhlaba ojabule kakhulu, oxhunyiwe; i-nano-technology, amarobhothi, nama-microchips athembisa ukukhandleka okuncane; ukukhohliswa kofuzo kwembewu, izithelo nemifino kuthembisa ukhula, izitshalo ezinkulu; futhi ubusoshiyali obudala obukhuphuka nge-New World Order buthembisa amathuba alinganayo nemivuzo kuwo wonke umuntu. Kepha kulezi zixazululo ezingamanga, kusobala ukuthi i-Edene entsha yehlisela umuntu ohlotsheni olusha lobugqila lapho uhulumeni, izinkampani, nobuchwepheshe — konke okungokwabantu abaphezulu — baba amakhosi amasha.
ISITHOMBE ESISHA
UNkulunkulu wadala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; ngomfanekiso wobunkulunkulu wamdala; wabadala kwaba owesilisa nowesifazane… UNkulunkulu wabheka konke abekwenzile, wakubona kukuhle kakhulu. (UGenesise 1:27, 31)
Inyoka yahlebela uEva endlebeni, “Amehlo enu ayakuvuleka, nibe njengonkulunkulu abakwaziyo okuhle nokubi.” Kepha isu lenyoka ngaso sonke isikhathi kwakungukuguqula umklamo kaNkulunkulu. Lokho okuhle manje kubhekwa njengokubi, futhi lokho okubi kubizwa ngokuthi kuhle. Futhi-ke, isithombe saphezulu lapho kwenziwa khona isintu — owesilisa nowesifazane — siguqulwa, hhayi kuphela ngokuguqulwa kwezindima zabesilisa / abesifazane, kodwa ngokuchazwa kabusha kobulili uqobo. “Umfanekiso waphezulu” kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele, i- umndeni, iyindawo okugxilwa kuyo inyoka. Uma umndeni ungafakwa ubuthi, kunjalo nangekusasa lomhlaba.
Ikusasa lomhlaba neleSonto lidlula emndenini. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Familiaris Consortio, n. 75
Njengoba abantu manje belwela ukuzenza kabusha ngomfanekiso wabo wamanga, icebo lenyoka ukuqinisekisa umuntu ukuthi angaba "nguMdali" uqobo.
UMBUSO WAMANGA
Wayesethi uNkulunkulu: "Umhlaba mawuveze imifino, yonke inhlobo yezitshalo eziveza imbewu, nezinhlobo zonke zemithi yezithelo emhlabeni, ethela izithelo nembewu yayo phakathi." (UGenesise 1:11)
Okunye okushaqisayo okuvelayo kokuphathwa kofuzo ukuthi imbewu, ikakhulukazi imbewu yezitshalo, iyashintshwa ukuze nayo ayisekho ukukhiqiza imbewu ehlumayo. Le "mikhiqizo" emisha inelungelo lobunikazi futhi ithengiselwa abalimi, kuyilapho imbewu eye yavela ngokwemvelo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ishiyelwa "isivuno esingcono." Lokho wukuthi, abalimi kuzodingeka ukuthi bathenge imbewu yabo ezinkampanini nganoma iyiphi intengo nemikhawulo abayidalayo. Imiklamo kaNkulunkulu efakazelwe ibekelwa eceleni ukuze kuhlolwe uchungechunge lokudla, okungaphela kalula, hhayi e-Edeni eningi, kepha kwiplanethi ekhungethwe indlala.
… Ukubuyiselwa “kwePharadesi” elahlekile akusalindelwe okholweni, kepha kusuka kusixhumanisi esisanda kutholakala phakathi kwesayensi ne-praxis. Akukhona ukuthi ukukholwa kuyaphikwa nje; kunalokho isuselwa kwelinye izinga — leyo yezindaba ezizimele nje nezinye zezwe — futhi ngasikhathi sinye iba yinto engabalulekile emhlabeni. Lo mbono wohlelo unqume ukulandela umkhondo wezikhathi zanamuhla futhi ubumba nenkinga yosuku lwanamuhla yenkolo okuyinkinga yenkinga yethemba lobuKrestu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Isikhulumi uSalvi, n. 17
UKUZALA KWAMANGA
UJehova uNkulunkulu wambumba umuntu ngobumba lomhlabathi, waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila; umuntu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo. (UGenesise 2: 7)
Ngokuhlangana nokwenza izivivinyo ngemibungu yabantu, amadoda azikhukhumezayo akholelwa ukuthi athole indlela yokungahlali nje kuphela isikhathi sokuphila, kepha impilo yokuphefumula ungene okusha yakhiwa abantu ngaleyo ndlela bezama ukugawula inkemba yokufa evimbele u-Adamu no-Eva eNsimini yase-Edene. I-eugenics entsha iyaqhamuka — ikhono ngokusebenzisa kwesibeletho ukukhulelwa ukukhetha ucansi, iso, izinwele, umbala wesikhumba, kanye nokuthambekela kwezempilo, okwenza umuntu abe unjiniyela wekusasa lakhe lomzimba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe “nentuthuko” yezakhi zofuzo, i-Edene elisha ekugcineni liyogcwala uhlobo olusha, i- Homo i-evolution, indalo eyenziwe ngobuciko edlula kude i- Homo sapiens. Ngokwesayensi yanamuhla, lokhu kuzokwenzeka ngaphakathi kwesizukulwane (bukela lokhu okufushane nokumangazayo ividiyo).
Kuyalingwa ukucabanga ukuthi ubuchwepheshe banamuhla obuthuthukisiwe bungaphendula zonke izidingo zethu futhi busisindise kuzo zonke izingozi nezingozi ezisifikayo. Kepha akunjalo. Kuwo wonke umzuzu wezimpilo zethu sincike ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu, esiphila kuye, esihamba futhi esinaye. Nguye kuphela ongasivikela ezingozini, Nguye kuphela ongasihola phakathi kwezivunguvungu zempilo, Nguye kuphela ongasiletha endaweni ephephile… —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eFloriana, eMalta ngo-Ephreli 18, 2010, AsiaNews.it
UKUTHULA KWAMANGA
INKOSI uNkulunkulu yayala umuntu yathi: “Ungadla kunoma imiphi imithi yasensimini ngaphandle kwesihlahla sokwazi okuhle nokubi. Ungadli kulowo muthi; mzuzu lapho udla kuwo usuke uzokufa… ”Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu walubusisa usuku lwesikhombisa walungcwelisa, ngoba ngalo waphumula kuwo wonke umsebenzi ayewenzile ekudalweni kwakhe. (UGenesise 2: 9, 3)
INkosi yanikeza isintu “lo myalo” —umyalo lapho kunemingcele engeke yeqiwa, umyalo, uma wawugcinwa, wawuzoshiya u-Adamu no-Eva bezwana ngokuphelele phakathi koMdali wabo, nabo, nayo yonke indalo (noma njengoba sazi, isipho esikhulu kakhulu size ngokuwa kweSiphambano (Rom. 11:32). Kungumyalelo ongathi, ngokuhlengwa okuzuziwe ngokuhlupheka kukaKristu - ungabuyiselwa, yize kungenjalo ngokuphelele ngaphakathi kwemingcele yesikhathi.
Kwakunemithi emibili ensimini: isihlahla solwazi kanye nomuthi wokuphila, futhi zihlobene ngokusondelene. Umyalo owasungulwa nguNkulunkulu kwakuwukuhlonipha ulwazi nokuhlakanipha Kwakhe, icebo Lakhe namacebo Akhe, ukuze isihlahla sempilo siqhubeke sithwale impilo. Kepha ku-New World Order -ukuhleleka kwe-Edeni eyenziwe kabusha — umuntu usekhohlisiwe wadla isihlahla solwazi futhi. “IVangeli” le-Edene elisha ubu-gnostic—ulwazi oluyimfihlo ngesiphetho somuntu okungamanga wamademoni ngempela. Isithelo esenqatshelwe ukuqaliswa kwalobu gnosticism ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe kuya yenza umuntu angene esihlahleni sokuphila uqobo.
Ngakho-ke, “usuku lwesikhombisa” e-Edene olusha luyi- Iminyaka ye-Aquarius, inkathi 'yokuthula nokuzwana.' Akusilo ikusasa lokuthula elenziwa ukuzwana ngokwemvelo noMdali, kepha ukuthula kwamanga okulawulwa futhi okuphoqelelwe nguzwilakhe wobushiqela bokuqiniswa kwemibono — empeleni, Dumlingisikazi. Tusho ukuthi lokhu kuthula kubili: ukwenza usuku lwesikhombisa lube "ngcwele" ngokwenkolo entsha umuntu ngokwakhe angunkulunkulu ngayo.
The I-New Age okuntwela kokusa kuzofakwa ngabantu ngabantu abaphelele, abanobuhlakani abaphethe ngokuphelele imithetho yemvelo. Kulesi simo, ubuKrestu kufanele bususwe futhi bunikezwe inkolo yomhlaba kanye nohlelo lomhlaba omusha. - ‚UJesu Kristu, Umphathi Wamanzi Okuphila, hhayi. 4, Imikhandlu Yapapa Yezamasiko Nezingxoxo Ezingokwenkolo
Indlela yesibili ukusebenzisa "isiko lokufa": ukususa emhlabeni labo ababa umthwalo kumuntu ngamunye, imvelo, noma "isithiyo" kule nkolo entsha, kule "ukuthula". IClub of Rome, ithangi lokucabanga lomhlaba wonke elibhekene nokwanda kwabantu kanye nezinsizakusebenza ezinciphayo, lifinyelele esiphethweni esibuhlungu embikweni walo wango-1993:
Ekufuneni isitha esisha esizosihlanganisa, saqhamuka nombono wokuthi ukungcoliswa komhlaba, usongo lokufudumala komhlaba, ukushoda kwamanzi, indlala nokunye okunjalo kungafanelana nomthethosivivinywa. Zonke lezi zingozi zidalwa ukungenelela komuntu, futhi kungalezi zimo zokuziphatha kanye nokuziphatha okuguqukile kuphela lapho zinganqotshwa khona. Isitha sangempela-ke, yisintu uqobo. -U-Alexander King noBertrand Schneider. I-First Global Revolution, ikhasi. 75, 1993.
Kukhona ukungazi okwethusayo ngobungozi obudlalayo ezikhathini zethu, okugqugquzelwa ngokwengxenye yilokho imibono ephambene, lapho umuntu eyisitha khona noNkulunkulu akanandaba.
Ubuntu obufaka ngaphandle uNkulunkulu ngubuntu obungenabuntu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, AmaCaritas eVikisa, hhayi. 78
Ngakho, ukunciphisa inani labantu kuyindlela edingekayo nesiphetho ngokwako. Umyalo kaNkulunkulu wokugcina kuyo yonke indalo…
Zala, wande… (Genesise 1:28)
… Ngu ishintshiwe. Futhi inyoka, ekugcineni, izodalulwa ukuthi ingubani ngempela:
Wayekade umbulali kusukela ekuqaleni futhi… ungumqambimanga noyise wamanga. (Johane 8:44)
Impela akekho umuntu onengqondo ehluzekile ongayingabaza inkinga yalomncintiswano phakathi komuntu noPhezukonke. Umuntu, esebenzisa kabi inkululeko yakhe, angahlukumeza ilungelo nobukhosi boMdali woMhlaba; kodwa ukunqoba kuyoke kube noNkulunkulu — cha, ukunqotshwa kuseduze ngesikhathi lapho umuntu, ngaphansi kwenkohliso yokunqoba kwakhe, evuka ngokuqina okukhulu. —I-POPE ST. I-PIUS X, E Supremi, n. 6, Okthoba 4, 1903
E-VERGE
Njengoba sibuka izehlakalo zomhlaba ezisizungezile, silalele ngokucophelela iPhimbo leQiniso namaphimbo amanga, kufanele kubonakale ukuthi abaklami be-Edene entsha—abanduleli—Lapha. Bakhuluma "ngoshintsho" kanye "nethemba," kepha lokhu kungokwe "oda elisha" elikhokha inkonzo yezindebe kuNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokuhlonipha impilo kusuka ekukhulelweni kuya ekufeni kwemvelo, ngaphandle kokubheka imingcele ebekwe phezu kwesihlahla solwazi. Okuwukuphela koshintsho abangaletha ekugcineni-ke, akusikho ukuqala kwethemba kepha ubusuku bokufa.
… Isintu, esivele sisesengozini enkulu, singabhekana, naphezu kokuthuthuka kwaso okumangalisayo olwazini, lolo suku lwenhlekelele lapho lungazi ukuthula okunye ngaphandle kokuthula okuthusayo kokufa. —Umthethosisekelo wePastor on the Church in the Modern World, Second Council Council, Imfundo yamahora, Umq. IV, k. 475
Mayelana nalokhu, isigijimi sobuKristu siyadingeka.
Ngakho-ke ukuthula nakho isithelo sothando; uthando ludlula lokho ubulungiswa obungakufinyelela. Ukuthula emhlabeni, okuzalwa ngothando ngomakhelwane wakho, kuyisibonakaliso nomphumela wokuthula kukaKristu okugeleza kuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba. -Ibid. k. 471
Ungumyalezo, ekugcineni, onqobayo, we…
...ukukhanya kukhanya ebumnyameni, kepha ubumnyama abukwamukelanga. (Johane 1: 5)
INsimu yase-Edeni ilahlekile… kepha “amazulu amasha nomhlaba omusha” kulindele izingane zikaBaba. Ngoba icebo laKhe selivele lazisiwe:

Icebo likaNkulunkulu akukona ukubuyela e-Edene ngokoqobo, kodwa uya ePharadesi. Umbono wobugqila Ukuqhathanisa inkululeko…
Njengoba iMelika imile ekuqalekeni kwethemba layo, ngifuna lelo themba ligcwaliseke ngathi sonke sihlangane ukwakha ikhulu lama-21 njengekhulu lokuqala lomphakathi womhlaba wonke… qala ukubolekisa ukuze imindeni namabhizinisi akwazi ukuboleka futhi. - UNdunankulu wase-UK uGordon Brown, TimesOnline.com, March 1st, i-2009
Ithemba langempela alikhathazi. Akuhlangene nakancane nethemba le-cheesy lemikhankaso yokhetho. Ithemba lithatha futhi lifuna umgogodla kumakholwa. Futhi yingakho-okungenani kumKristu — ithemba lisisekela lapho impendulo yangempela ezinkingeni noma ekukhetheni kanzima empilweni ingu "cha, asikwazi," esikhundleni sokuthi "yebo, singakwazi." - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J.
