Imibhalo yenkolo lapha
LAPHO kuyinkinga ezayo — futhi isivele ikhona — kubafowethu nodadewethu abangamaProthestani kuKristu. Kwabikezelwa nguJesu ngenkathi ethi,
… Wonke umuntu olalela lawa mazwi ami kodwa angawenzi kuwo uyofana nesiwula esakha indlu yaso phezu kwesihlabathi. Imvula ina, kwafika izikhukhula, kwavunguza imimoya yashaya indlu. Yabhidlika yonakala ngokuphelele. (Mat 7: 26-27)
Okungukuthi, noma yini eyakhelwe esihlabathini: lezo zincazelo zemiBhalo ezisuka okholweni lobuPhostoli, lezoziphambeko namaphutha asezingeni elihlukanise iSonto likaKristu ngokoqobo laba amashumi ezinkulungwane zamahlelo — azokhukhulwa kulesi siphepho samanje nesizayo . Ekugcineni, uJesu wabikezela, “Kuyoba mhlambi munye, nomalusi munye.” [1]isib. Johane 10:16
Ngoba ukwahlukana okukhona phakathi komzimba kaKristu kuyihlazo kumakholwa nasemhlabeni ngokufanayo. Ngenkathi singathola indawo evamile yamasonto phakathi kwamaKristu ngokubhapathizwa kwethu nokukholwa kuJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi, kumele futhi sivume ukuthi ubunye bethu ekugcineni buyaphela lapho inkemba yeqiniso isuswe ngokuphelele emgodleni wayo. Singakuxazulula kanjani lokhu kwehluka ekuchazeni phakathi kwamahlelo ahlukahlukene? Impendulo ukuthi izimfundiso ezisihlukanisayo sezivele zixazululiwe.
Ekufundeni kokuqala kwanamuhla, iNkosi yatshela uMose:
Ngiza kuwe ngefu elimnyama, ukuze kuthi lapho abantu bengizwa ngikhuluma nawe, bahlale benokholo nakuwe njalo.
Lesi isambulo esingajwayelekile esivela eNkosini — leso esifanekisela ukubaluleka okuzayo kwesikhulu sombhishobhi esisekwe kubaPhostoli abayishumi nambili. Ngoba lapha, uNkulunkulu wembula ukubaluleka kwamadoda ekudlulisweni kweZwi lakhe. Ngisho, kungani uMose angadingeka? U-Eksodusi ucacisa ukuthi lapho iNkosi yehlela phezu kweNtaba iSinayi, kwaba khona ukuduma kwezulu, umbani, umusi ophephezelayo, ukuzamazama okukhulu, nokukhala kwecilongo okwakhula kakhulu. Ngalesi sikhathi, ngicabanga ukuthi, uMose, usheshe wacishwa ezingqondweni zama-Israyeli abethuke kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, uNkulunkulu wakwenza ngamabomu lokhu, ngokwengxenye uthi, ukuqinisa igunya likaMose.
Ngoba iNkosi ibingahlosile ukuqhubeka iveze inkazimulo nobukhosi bayo ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Kunalokho, uzokwembula inkazimulo yakhe ngokwambulwa kwaKhe iZwi, okungukuthi, iMiyalo Eyishumi noMthetho. Njengoba uMose ayezothi kamuva,
… Yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esinezimiso nezahlulelo ezifana nalo mthetho wonke engiwubeka phambi kwakho namuhla? (Duteronomi 4: 8)
IZwi-ke, lalingezi ngombani noma ngezingelosi, kodwa laliza ngezandla zomuntu nje, uMose. Kanjalo futhi — lalelani bafowethu nodadewethu! - izwi likaKristu lalizofika emhlabeni, okokuqala ngezingalo zentombi, bese kuba ngezandla zamadoda nje.
Uyabona, amanye amaKristu angamaVangeli akholelwa ukuthi inkazimulo nokwambulwa kukaNkulunkulu kungafunwa kuphela ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso - ukukhuluma ngezilimi, izimangaliso, ukudumisa nokukhulekela umculo, izifundo zebhayibheli, imihlangano yokuthandaza, njll. ezimpilweni zethu, uNkulunkulu ukhombisa uthando lwaKhe olunomusa, isihe, nokuba khona kwakhe kithi ngalezi zindlela. Kepha njengoba nje umbukwane weNtaba iSinayi uzophela futhi ama-Israyeli azosala noMose kuphela kubo bonke ubuntu bakhe, kanjalo-ke, ukubonakaliswa okunamandla koMoya kuyanyamalala futhi umKrestu uzozithola, engasekho ezinyaweni kwentaba yemizwa yokuzithoba, kepha ezinyaweni zabaPhostoli (kanye nabalandelayo) kubo bonke ubuntu babo. Lapha, umuntu kufanele asonge amaphiko emizwa yakhe, ungasho, futhi uvule ukuqonda kumaqiniso abawaphakamisayo. Ngoba uJesu wathi, “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila.”
Insindiso itholakala eqinisweni. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 851
Indlela yakhe yothando, eqondiswa yiqiniso, iyodwa indlela yokuphila.
Uma ngikhuluma ngezilimi zabantu nezengelosi… futhi uma nginesiphiwo sokuprofetha futhi ngiqonda zonke izimfihlakalo nolwazi lonke; uma nginokholo lonke lokususa izintaba kodwa ngingenalo uthando, angiyinto yalutho. (1 Kor 13: 1-2)
Futhi-ke, singazi kanjani ukuthi luyini "uthando" ngaphandle kweqiniso elingenaphutha lokuligada nokulihola kusuka kubuthi obucashile bokuzithoba kanye nemizwa, yabaprofethi bamanga kanye nokuguquguquka "kwemibono yabaningi"? Impendulo ithi -ngehluleki Isonto.
Ngakho-ke, ngitsheleni bafowethu nodadewethu, yini enganikeza amadoda nje ukwethembeka kakhudlwana kini: intaba-mlilo nokushaywa kwecilongo, noma "uLizwi wenziwa inyama" yena ngokwakhe ukusola abaPhostoli ngomsebenzi wokushumayela amaqiniso angenakuphutha eVangeli?
Ngakho-ke hambani niyokwenza izizwe zonke zibe abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. Lowo onilalelayo uyangilalela. Noma ubani okulahlayo uyangilahla… lapho efika, uMoya weqiniso, uzokuholela kulo lonke iqiniso… Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, yimani niqinile futhi nibambelele emasikweni enanifundiswa wona, kungaba ngamazwi ashiwo ngomlomo noma ngencwadi okwethu… [ngoba] indlu kaNkulunkulu, okuyibandla likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, iyinsika nesisekelo seqiniso. ” (Mat 28: 19-20, Lk 10:16, Joh 16:13, 2 Thes 2:15, 1 Tim 3:15))
Bafowethu nodadewethu abangamaVangeli, niyakhuluma ngezilimi? Nami. Ngabe uphakamisa izandla zakho ekudumiseni nasekukhonzeni? Nami ngokunjalo. Ingabe ubeka phezu kwabagulayo bese ukhulekela ukwelashwa kwabo? Nami. Uyalithanda iBhayibheli neZwi likaNkulunkulu? Nami. Kodwa ngikutshela, ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami nangothando lwami lonke, akukho lutho eBhayibhelini olukhuluma igama elilodwa ngokuhumusha iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kweSonto, ngaphandle kwegunya lobuPhostoli. Lokhu kwakuqondakala kahle nangokucacile yiBandla lokuqala. Kungani? Ngoba kwakungekho ngisho ne "bible" eminyakeni engamakhulu amane yokuqala yokuphila kwakhe. Kunalokho, njengoba sizwa eVangelini namuhla, uJesu akaphathisanga iqiniso ezixukwini, kodwa emadodeni ayishumi nambili nakulabo abalandela ngokulandelana kwabaphostoli. [2]isib. Imisebenti 1:20; 14:13; 1 Thim 3: 1, 8; 4:14, 5:17; Tit 1: 5
Ngoba ulwazi ngezimfihlakalo zoMbuso wezulu unikezwe lona, kepha bona kabalunikwanga. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
… Masiqaphele ukuthi lona kanye usiko, imfundiso, nokholo lweSonto LamaKhatholika kusukela ekuqaleni, iNkosi eyalunikeza, kwakushunyayelwa ngabaPhostoli, futhi kwalondolozwa ngoFata. ISonto lasungulwa phezu kwalokhu; futhi uma noma ubani eshiya kulokhu, akusafanele futhi abizwe ngokuthi ungumKristu…. —USt. U-Athanasius, 360 AD, Izincwadi ezine eziya kuSerapion kaThmius 1, 28
Lawo ngamagama aqinile okuthi, namuhla, ngenxa yoqhekeko olwenzekile, ludinga umongo othile kulabo, ngaphandle kwephutha labo, abangabhaliseli ngokuphelele ubuKhatholika.
“ISonto liyazi ukuthi lihlanganyele ngezindlela eziningi nalabo ababhapathiziwe abahlonishwa ngegama lobuKrestu, kepha abalubeki ngokuphelele ukholo lwabo lwamaKhatholika noma abalugcinanga ubumbano noma imiphakathingaphansi komlandeli kaPeter. ” Labo “abakholelwa kuKristu futhi babhabhadiswe kahle babekwa ebudlelwaneni obuthile, nakuba bungaphelele, neSonto LamaKatolika.”-CCC, n. 838
Vele, njengamaKhatholika, kufanele sivume ukuthi, ezindaweni eziningi, izindawo zethu azihehi ngezizathu eziningi. Njengoba noMose, ngaphandle kokumangalelwa, wayeyindoda enesono, kanjalo nabaholi beSonto bebelokhu futhi bengaphelele futhi benesono. Empeleni, namuhla ukuthembeka kweSonto kanye nobuholi balo akukaze kulimale futhi kufakwe engozini yizono zalo. Ngiyawahawukela amaKrestu amaVangeli ngandlela thile ngoba ekungeneni kubuKhatholika kanye "nokugcwala kweqiniso", kufanele bavame ukushiya imiphakathi yamaKhristu enempilo, ukushumayela okugcotshiwe, nomculo onamandla. Futhi nokho, siyaqhubeka nokubona umfudlana wamaProthestani ungena eSontweni LamaKatolika? Kungani? Ngoba ubaluleke njengomculo omuhle, ukushumayela okuhle, nomphakathi, kubalulekile iqiniso elisikhululayo.
Imfundiso yeSonto inikezwe ngokwe-oda lokulandelana elivela kubaPhostoli, futhi ihlala emaBandleni kuze kube manje. Lokho nje kukodwa kufanele kukholwe njengeqiniso elingafani nakancane nesiko lobufundisi nelabaphostoli. —U-Origen (185-232 AD), Izimfundiso Eziyisisekelo, 1, Isandulela. 2
Lokho kugcwaliseka kweqiniso kungatholakala, ngaphandle kobuthakathaka bakhe, ukuba kwakhe nesono kanye namahlazo, eSontweni LamaKhatholika (futhi iQiniso likhona ngempela futhi ngeqiniso kuMthendeleko). Awu yebo! ISphepho samanje nesizayo sizohlanza iSonto LamaKatolika futhi — ngaphezu kwanoma ngubani omunye. Futhi lapho ubusuku bosizi sebuphelile futhi lelo hora elijabulisayo lifika lapho uMlobokazi kaKristu ehlanzwa futhi ukwahlukana kwakhe kobusathane kugaywa ngaphansi kwesithende sowesifazane, uzophinde abe ngumvangeli, upentekoste, ikhatholika, isakramente, ubuphostoli futhi ongcwele njengoKristu okuhlosiwe. Ekugcineni uzoqoqa imisebe yokukhanya ephihlizekile esehlukaniswe ukwahlukana, abe yisibani esisodwa seqiniso “Njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika.” [3]isib. Mat 24:14
ISonto yindawo lapho isintu kumele siphinde sithole ubunye nokusindiswa kwaso. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 845
… Lapho ukuvivinywa kwalokhu kuhlungwa sekwedlule, amandla amakhulu azogobhoza esuka eBandleni elengokomoya futhi elenziwe lula. Amadoda emhlabeni ohlelwe ngokuphelele azozithola enesizungu esingachazeki. Uma sebelahlekelwe ngokuphelele ukubona uNkulunkulu, bazokuzwa konke ukwethuka ngobumpofu babo. Ngemuva kwalokho bazothola umhlambi omncane wamakholwa njengento entsha ngokuphelele. Bazoyithola njengethemba elenzelwe bona, impendulo abebelokhu beyifuna ngasese. Ngakho-ke kubonakala kuqinisekile kimi ukuthi iSonto libhekene nezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu. Inkinga yangempela ayikaze iqale. Kuzofanele sibheke ezinxushunxushwini ezisabekayo. Kepha ngineqiniso ngokulinganayo ngalokho okuzosala ekugcineni: hhayi iSonto lenkolo yezepolitiki… kepha iSonto Lokholo. Kungenzeka angabe esaba namandla amakhulu kwezenhlalo kuze kube sezingeni lapho ayekhona kuze kube muva nje; kepha uzothokozela ukuqhakaza okusha futhi abonakale njengekhaya lomuntu, lapho ezothola khona impilo nethemba ngale kokufa. —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukukholwa nekusasa, Ignatius Press, 2009
ISonto "izwe libuyisene." -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 845
“Futhi bazolizwa izwi lami, futhi kube munye umhlambi nomalusi munye.” Sengathi uNkulunkulu… maduze angagcwalisa isiprofetho saKhe sokuguqula lo mbono oduduzayo wekusasa ube yiqiniso lamanje… Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuletha lelihora elijabulisayo nokwenza laziwe kubo bonke… —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi “Ekuthuleni KukaKristu eMbusweni wakhe”, Disemba 23, 1922
Amen, ngithi kuwe, abaprofethi abaningi nabantu abalungileyo babefisa ukubona okubonayo kodwa abakubonanga, nokuzwa okuzwayo kepha abakuzwanga. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
