Okuningi kubaprofethi bamanga

NINI umqondisi wami wezomoya wangicela ukuthi ngibhale ngokuqhubekayo mayelana "nabaprofethi bamanga," ngazindla ngokuthi bavame ukuchazwa kanjani osukwini lwethu. Imvamisa, abantu babheka "abaprofethi bamanga" njengalabo ababikezela ikusasa ngokungafanele. Kepha ngenkathi uJesu noma abaPhostoli bekhuluma ngabaprofethi bamanga, babevame ukukhuluma ngabo Ngaphakathi iSonto elaholela abanye ekulahlekeni ngokwehluleka ukukhuluma iqiniso, ukulinaka, noma ukushumayela ivangeli elihlukile ngokuphelele…

Bathandekayo, ungathembi yonke imimoya kodwa uvivinye imimoya ukuthi ingabe ngekaNkulunkulu yini, ngoba baningi abaprofethi bamanga abaphumele ezweni. (1 Johane 4: 1)

Maye KUWE

Kunendima yomBhalo okufanele yenze wonke amakholwa angashadile ame futhi akhombise:

Maye kini lapho konke kukhulunywa kahle ngani, ngoba okhokho babo babaphatha ngale ndlela abaprofethi bamanga. (Luka 6:26)

Njengoba leli gama linanela izindonga ezilungile zepolitiki zamasonto ethu, kungakuhle sizibuze lo mbuzo zisuka nje: Ngabe yimina uqobo umprofethi wamanga?

Ngiyavuma ukuthi, eminyakeni embalwa yokuqala yalokhu kubhala kobuphostoli, ngangihlala ngilwa nalo mbuzo ngezinyembezi, ngoba uMoya uvame ukungihambisa ukuthi ngisebenze ehhovisi lesiprofetho lobhapathizo lwami. Bengingafuni nje ukubhala lokho iNkosi eyayingiphoqa ukuba ngikubhekise ezintweni zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo (futhi lapho sengizamile ukubaleka noma ukweqa umkhumbi, “umkhomo” ubulokhu ungikhafulela njalo olwandle….)

Kepha nalapha ngiyakhomba encazelweni ejulile yale ndima engenhla. Maye kini lapho konke kukhuluma kahle ngani! Kunesifo esibi eSontweni kanye nasemphakathini obanzi futhi: okusho ukuthi, isidingo esicishe sibe nemizwa yokuthi "siqonde ngokwezepolitiki." Yize inhlonipho nokuzwela kukuhle, ukugezwa okumhlophe kweqiniso "ngenxa yokuthula" akulona. ^[1]bheka Kuzo Zonke Izindleko

Ngicabanga ukuthi impilo yesimanje, kubandakanya nempilo eseSontweni, ihlupheka ngenxa yokungazimiseli kokukhohlisa ukucasula lokho okuwubuhlakani nemikhuba emihle, kepha kaningi kuvela ukuthi kuyigwala. Abantu bakweleta ukuhloniphana nenhlonipho efanelekile. Kodwa futhi sikweleta omunye nomunye iqiniso — okusho ukungagunci. - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikela KuKesari: Umsebenzi Wezombusazwe WamaKatolika, NgoFebhuwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada

Lokhu akusabonakali namuhla kunalapho abaholi bethu behluleka ukufundisa inkolo nokuziphatha, ikakhulukazi lapho zicindezelwa kakhulu futhi kusobala ukuthi ziyadingeka.

Maye kubelusi bakwa-Israyeli abekade bezalusa! Awuzange uqinise ababuthakathaka noma welaphe abagulayo noma ubophe abalimele. Awubuyisanga abadukile noma wafuna elahlekile… Ngakho-ke bahlakazeka ngokuswela umalusi, baba ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle. (Hezekeli 34: 2-5)

Ngaphandle kwabelusi, izimvu zilahlekile. IHubo 23 likhuluma 'ngomalusi omuhle' ohola izimvu zakhe “esigodini sethunzi lokufa,” “ngenduku nodondolo” lokududuza nokuqondisa. Induku kamalusi inemisebenzi eminingana. Isikhohlakali sisetshenziselwa ukubamba imvu elahlekile bese siyidonsela emhlambini; Abasebenzi bakude ukuze basize ukuvikela umhlambi, ukugcina izidumbu zingalawuleki. Kunjalo nangabafundisi abaqokiwe Benkolo: banomthwalo wokuhlehlisa emuva baphinde bavikele “abaprofethi bamanga” abazobadukisa. UPaul wabhalela ababhishobhi:

Ziqapheleni nina kanye nomhlambi wonke uMoya ongcwele akuqokele kuwo ukuthi nibe ngababonisi, lapho nihola ibandla likaNkulunkulu alizuza ngegazi lakhe. (Imisebenti 20:28)

UPetru wathi:

Kwakukhona nabaprofethi bamanga phakathi kwabantu, njengoba nje kuzoba khona abafundisi bamanga phakathi kwenu, abazongenisa izimfundiso zamanga ezibhubhisayo baphike neNkosi eyabahlenga, bezilethela ukubhujiswa okusheshayo. (2 Pt 2: 1)

Isiphambeko esikhulu sesikhathi sethu “ukukholelwa ebukhoneni” osekungene njengomusi eBandleni, kwadakisa izingxenye eziningi zabefundisi futhi kwabeka abantu ngokufanayo benesifiso sokuthi abanye “bakhulume kahle” ngabo.

Emphakathini ukucabanga kwawo kubuswa 'ngubushiqela bokweyelana' futhi lapho ukunemba kwezepolitiki nenhlonipho yabantu kuyizindlela zokugcina zalokho okumele kwenziwe nokuthi yini okufanele igwenywe, umbono wokuholela umuntu ekoneni kokuziphatha awunangqondo . Okubangela isimanga emphakathini onje iqiniso lokuthi umuntu uyehluleka ukugcina ukulungiswa kwezepolitiki futhi, ngalokho, ubonakala ephazamisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi ukuthula komphakathi. -UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uRaymond L. Burke, Umphathi we-Apostolic Signatura, Ukucabanga ngomzabalazo wokuthuthukisa isiko lempilo, NgaphakathiCatholic Partnership Dinner, eWashington, Septhemba 18, 2009

Lokhu kunemba kwezepolitiki empeleni "kungumoya onamanga" ofanayo othelele abaprofethi benkantolo yeNkosi u-Ahabi eTestamenteni Elidala. ^[2]isib. 1 AmaKhosi 22 Lapho u-Ahabi efuna ukuya empini, wafuna iseluleko sabo. Bonke abaprofethi, ngaphandle koyedwa, bamtshela ukuthi uzophumelela ngoba babazi ukuthi uma bekhuluma okuphambene, bazojeziswa. Kodwa umprofethi uMikhaya wakhuluma iqiniso, ukuthi inkosi empeleni yayizofela enkundleni yempi. Ngenxa yalokhu, uMikhaya waphonswa etilongweni futhi wondla izabelo ezincane. Yikho kanye lokhu kwesaba ukushushiswa okudale umoya wokuyekethisa ukuba uvuke eBandleni namuhla. ^[3]qhathanisa Isikole Sokuyekethisa

Labo abaphonsela inselelo lobu buqaba obusha babhekene nenketho enzima. Kuphakathi kokuthi bavumelana nalefilosofi noma babhekene nethemba lokufel 'ukholo. —Fr. UJohn Hardon (1914-2000), Ungaba Kanjani UmKatolika Othembekile Namuhla? Ngokuthembeka kuMbhishobhi waseRoma; http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/intro/loyalty.htm

Emazweni aseNtshonalanga, lokho “kubulawelwa ukholo,” kuze kube manje, bekungeyona igazi.

Esikhathini sethu, intengo ezokhokhelwa ukwethembeka eVangelini ayisaphanyekwa, idonselwe futhi ihlukaniswe kathathu kepha imvamisa ifaka ukuxoshwa ezandleni, ukuhlekwa usulu noma ukwenziwa parodi. Futhi-ke, iSonto alikwazi ukuhoxa emsebenzini wokumemezela uKristu neVangeli lakhe njengeqiniso elisindisayo, umthombo wenjabulo yethu enkulu njengabantu ngabanye futhi njengesisekelo somphakathi onobulungiswa nobuntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eLondon, eNgilandi, ngoSepthemba 18, 2010; I-Zenit

Uma ngicabanga ngabafelukholo abaningi abafa ngesibindi, kwesinye isikhathi behamba ngamabomu beya eRoma ukuze bashushiswe… bese kuthi kanjani siyanqikaza namuhla ukumela iqiniso ngoba asifuni ukuphazamisa ukulingana kwabalaleli bethu, isifunda, noma isifunda-bhishobhi (futhi silahlekelwe yidumela lethu “elihle”)… ngiyathuthumela ngamazwi kaJesu: Maye kini lapho konke kukhuluma kahle ngani!

Ingabe manje sengizincengela kubantu noma kuNkulunkulu? Noma ngifuna ukujabulisa abantu? Uma bengisazama ukujabulisa abantu, ngabe angiyona inceku kaKristu. (Gal 1:10)

Umprofethi wamanga yilowo okhohliwe ukuthi ingubani iNkosi yakhe — owenza abantu bajabulisa ivangeli lakhe kanye nokwamukelwa kwabanye isithombe sakhe. Uzothini uJesu eBandleni Lakhe lapho sivela phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sokwahlulela futhi sigqolozele amanxeba asezandleni nasezinyaweni Zakhe, kuyilapho izandla nezinyawo zethu zilungiswe ngokudumisa abanye?

Umprofethi umuntu okhuluma iqiniso ngamandla okuxhumana kwakhe noNkulunkulu — iqiniso lanamuhla, nalo, ngokwemvelo, elikhanyisa ikusasa. —UKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Isiprofetho SamaKristu, Isiko Langemuva KweBhayibheli, Niels Christian Hvidt, Isandulelo, k. vii

Ukuzama ukwethembeka ekunxenxeni kukaJohn Paul II kubantu abasha ukuthi babe '”abalindi basekuseni” ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane entsha yeminyaka' kube ngumsebenzi onzima, 'umsebenzi omkhulu,' njengoba ethe kuzoba njalo. Ngoba ngasikhathi sinye, kunezimpawu ezinhle kakhulu zethemba ezisizungezile, iningi ikakhulukazi kwabasebasha abasabele kubizo lukaBaba Ongcwele lokunikela ngempilo yabo kuJesu naseVangelini Lokuphila. Futhi asikwazi kanjani ukubonga ngokuba khona nokungenelela kukaMama wethu Obusisiwe ezindaweni zakhe ezingcwele emhlabeni wonke? Ngasikhathi sinye, ukuntwela kokusa kunakho hhayi ufikile, futhi ubumnyama bokuhlubuka buqhubeka nokusabalala emhlabeni wonke. Lisabalele kakhulu manje, lisabalele kakhulu, kangangokuba iqiniso namuhla seliqala ukucima njengelangabi. ^[4]bheka Ikhandlela Elishunqayo Bangaki kini abangibhalele ngabathandekayo benu abangene esimeni sokuziphatha okuhle nobuqaba banamuhla? Bangaki abazali engikhuleke kubo ngakhala nezingane zabo ezikulahle ngokuphelele ukukholwa kwazo? Mangaki amaKhatholika angabe esabona iMisa njengelifanele, njengoba izifunda ziqhubeka nokuvalwa futhi ababhishobhi bangenisa abefundisi abavela phesheya? Likhulu kangakanani izwi elisongelayo lokuhlubuka ^[5]bheka Ushushiso Luseduze ukukhuliswa ngokumelene noBaba Ongcwele nabathembekile? ^[6]bheka UPapa: I-Thermometer ye-Apostoasy Lezi yizo zonke izimpawu zokuthi kukhona okubi okwenzekile okungahambi kahle.

Kepha, ngasikhathi sinye izingxenye eziningi zeSonto zingena emoyeni wezwe, umyalezo Isihe Saphezulu ifinyelela emhlabeni wonke. ^[7]qhathanisa Kulabo Abasesonweni Sokufa Kunini lapho kungabonakala khona ukuthi sifanelwe ukulahlwa — njengendodana yolahleko eguqe ngamadolo emqubeni wezingulube ^[8]isib. ULuka 15: 11-32—Lapho-ke lapho uJesu eze athi nathi silahlekile futhi asinaye umalusi, kodwa lokho UnguMalusi Omuhle osizele!

Ngumuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu onezimvu eziyikhulu, alahlekelwe enye kuzo ongashiyi ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye ehlane, alandele leyo elahlekileyo, aze ayithole? … BuIZiyoni lathi: “INkosi ingishiyile; iNkosi yami ingikhohliwe. ” Ingabe umama angalukhohlwa usana lwakhe, angabi nalo ububele enganeni yakhe? Noma kufanele akhohlwe, angisoze ngakukhohlwa… futhi, lapho efika ekhaya, ubiza abangane bakhe nomakhelwane futhi athi kubo, 'Jabulani kanye nami ngoba ngiyitholile imvu yami ebilahlekile.' Ngiyakutshela, ngokufanayo kuyoba nenjabulo enkulu ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo kunabantu abalungileyo abangamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye abangaswele ukuphenduka. (Luka 15: 4, Isaya 49: 14-15; Luka 15 : 6-7)

Yebo, abanye babaprofethi bamanga bosuku lwethu abanathemba lokunikela. Bakhuluma kuphela ngesijeziso, ukwahlulelwa, inhlekelele nobumnyama. Kepha lo akuyena uNkulunkulu wethu. UNGUTHANDO. Uhlala njalo, njengelanga, njalo emema futhi eqhweba isintu kuye. Noma izono zethu zingakhuphuka njengentuthu emnyama, yentaba-mlilo emnyama ukusitha ukukhanya Kwakhe, uhlala njalo ekhanya ngemuva kwaso, elindele ukuthumela imisebe yethemba kubantwana Bakhe abalahlekile, ebamema ukuba beze ekhaya.

Bafowethu nodadewethu, baningi abaprofethi bamanga phakathi kwethu. Kepha uNkulunkulu uphinde wavusa abaprofethi beqiniso osukwini lwethu futhi — amaBurkes, amaChaputs, amaHardon, futhi, nopapa bezikhathi zethu. Asilahliwe! Kepha futhi asinakuba yiziwula. Kuyadingeka impela ukuthi sifunde ukuthandaza nokulalela ukuze sibone izwi likamalusi weqiniso. Ngaphandle kwalokho, sizibeka engcupheni yokuphatha izimpisi njengezimvu — noma sibe yizimpisi uqobo lwethu… ^[9]ukubukela Ukuzwa Izwi LikaNkulunkulu-Ingxenye I futhi Ingxenye II

Ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokuhamba kwami ​​kuzongena phakathi kwenu izimpisi ezinonya, futhi aziwuhawukeli umhlambi. Futhi eqenjini lenu, kuzofika amadoda ahlanekezela iqiniso ukuze ahudule abafundi abalandele. Ngakho-ke qaphani futhi nikhumbule ukuthi iminyaka emithathu, ubusuku nemini, ngiyekile ngokungaphezi yilowo nalowo kini ngezinyembezi. (IzEnzo 20: 29-31)

Lapho esekhiphe zonke ezakhe, uhamba phambi kwazo, nezimvu ziyamlandela, ngoba ziyalazi izwi lakhe. Kepha azilandeli owezizwe; zizobaleka kuye, ngoba azilazi izwi lezihambi… (Johane 10: 4-5)
