Okuningi kusipho sezilimi

kusukela IPhentekhosti ngu-El Greco (1596)

 

OF Impela, ukubonakaliswa kokuthiisipho sezilimi”Izosusa impikiswano. Futhi lokhu akungimangazi ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi yiwona ongaqondakali kunabo bonke ubungani. Ngakho-ke, ngiyethemba ukuphendula eminye yemibuzo nokuphawula engikuthole ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule ngalolu daba, ikakhulukazi njengoba opapa beqhubeka nokuthandazela “iPhentekoste elisha”…^[1]qhathanisa Okuhehayo? - Ingxenye VI

 

IMIBUZO YAKHO NEZIMPENDULO…

Q. Ukuvikela kwakho “isipho sezilimi” ukususele emazwini avela kuDkt Martin, hhayi kunoma iyiphi imfundiso yangempela yeSonto — impela, anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngiyakholelwa ukuthi lesi sehlakalo esenziwa noPapa St John Paul II senzeka ngempela.

Ngaqala ukubhala kwami Isipho Sezilimi nge-anecdote engayizwa eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule lapho uSt.John Paul II aqhamuka esontweni lakhe, ejabule ngokuthi wayethole isipho sezilimi. Umfundi wami uqinisile ngakolunye uhlangothi — benginephutha ngokuthi bengicabanga ukuthi ekuqaleni ngizwe le ndaba ivela kuDkt Ralph Martin. Kunalokho, le ndaba yakhulunywa ngumshumayeli wasendlini kapapa waseVatican, uFr. URaneiro Cantalamessa. Lokhu kudluliselwe engqungqutheleni ebiseSteubenville, e-Ohio Abefundisi, amaDikoni kanye namaSeminari ekuqaleni kwawo-1990 futhi wangidlulisela kumfundisi owayekhona kulo mcimbi.

Kodwa-ke, le anecdote ingumfanekiso nje. Isisekelo sokuqondwa kwezilimi impela sisuselwa ekufundisweni kweSonto kanye nasemBhalweni. Futhi, njengoba ngishilo kuCatechism maqondana nezinhlelo zikaMoya oNgcwele:

Noma ngabe bunjani ubunjalo babo — kwesinye isikhathi buba yinto engajwayelekile, njengesipho semimangaliso noma sezilimi — imisuka ekhombise umusa ongcwelisayo futhi ihloselwe ukuzuzisa iSonto. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2003

Manje, umfundi wami ubonakala ephakamisa, njengoba kwenza izifundiswa eziningana, ukuthi isipho sezilimi sasikhona kuphela eSontweni lokuqala. Kodwa-ke, ukugomela kokuthi izilimi zinosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi akusitholi isisekelo seBhayibheli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuyangqubuzana nobufakazi nomlando, ikakhulukazi owobaba beSonto, ingasaphathwa eyokuhlangenwe nakho okubalulekile kweSonto emashumini amahlanu edlule, lapho isipho sezilimi sisetshenziswe futhi sahlolwa. Lokhu kuyahambisana nesitatimende sikaJesu esilula, esingafanelekile:

Lezi zibonakaliso ziyohambisana nalabo abakholwayo: egameni lami bayokhipha amadimoni, bazokhuluma izilimi ezintsha. Bazolanda izinyoka [ngezandla zabo], futhi uma bephuza noma yini ebulalayo, ngeke ibalimaze. Bazobeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, futhi bazolulama. (Marku 16: 17-18)

 

Q. Ukusho lokho uMark Ch. 16 kufakazela ngokusobala ukuthi ukukhuluma ngezilimi kufanele kube "okujwayelekile" empilweni yomKrestu ukuhumusha lelo vesi ngendlela okungekho uBaba weSonto, noDokotela weSonto, noPapa, nosanta, futhi asikho isazi semfundiso yenkolo yakudala esake saba khona ukuhumushe.

Ngokuphambene nalokho, kunobufakazi obuningi emibhalweni nakuma-akhawunti koFata beSonto nabangcwele kanjalo naseBandleni lesikhathi samanje okuveza ukuthi lokho okuthiwa “ukubhabhadiswa ngoMoya”, kanye nezinkolelo ezihambisana nalokho, kwathathwa njenge "okujwayelekile" UbuKatolika. Kodwa-ke, ukujwayeleka okufana nokuthi imiphakathi ivela ngezikhathi ezithile kubantu abathile — hhayi lokho zonke UmKristu ngabe zonke isipho. Njengoba uSt. Paul wabhala:

Ngokuba njengalokhu emzimbeni munye sinezitho eziningi, kepha izitho zonke azisebenzi munye, kanjalo nathi, nakuba sibaningi, simzimba munye kuKristu, futhi izitho ngabanye yilezo nenye. Njengoba sinezipho ezahlukile ngokomusa esiwuphiwe, masizisebenzise. (Rom 12: 4-6)

UBaba weSonto, uHippolytus, owashona ngekhulu lesithathu (235 AD), wabhala:

Lezi zipho zaqala ukunikezwa thina baphostoli lapho sasizoshumayela iVangeli kuzo zonke izidalwa, futhi ngemuva kwalokho zazidingeka kulabo ababekholwe ngamandla ethu… Akudingekile-ke ukuthi wonke umuntu othembekile axoshwe amadimoni, noma ukuvusa abafileyo, noma ukukhuluma ngezilimi; kepha umuntu onjalo kuphela oqinisekiswe kahle ngalesi sipho, ngenxa yesizathu esithile esingaba lusizo ekusindisweni kwabangakholwayo, abavame ukujabha, hhayi ngokubonakaliswa komhlaba, kodwa ngamandla ezimpawu. -Imithetho yabaPhostoli Abangcwele, Incwadi VIII, n. 1

"Ukugcwaliswa", "ukukhululwa" noma okubizwa ngokuthi "ukubhaphathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele" lapho ikholwa 'lizogcwaliswa' khona ngoMoya kwakuhlala kuyingxenye yamaSakramente okuqala kobuKristu eSontweni lokuqala, ngokusho kocwaningo Ukuqaliswa KobuKristu Nokubhapathizwa Ngomoya — Ubufakazi Bekhulu Lokuqala Eight, nguFr. UKilian McDonnell noFr. UGeorge Montague. Zibonisa ukuthi iminyaka engamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili yobuKristu — hhayi iSonto leBhayibheli elisanda kuzalwa — empeleni “yayinomusa” (akumele ididaniswe nenkulumo yangaphandle noma umuzwa). Umbhishobhi waseMelika, uMfundisi uSam Jacobs uyabhala:

… Lomusa wePhentekoste, owaziwa ngokuthi Ukubhabhadiswa kuMoya oNgcwele, awusiwo owenhlangano ethile kodwa weSonto lonke. Empeleni, empeleni akuyona into entsha kepha bekuyingxenye yecebo likaNkulunkulu labantu Bakhe kusukela ngalelo Pentekoste lokuqala eJerusalema nasemlandweni weSonto. Ngempela, lomusa wePentekoste ubonakele empilweni nasekwenzeni kweSonto, ngokwemibhalo yoFata beSonto, njengokujwayelekile kokuphila kobuKristu futhi okuyingxenye yokugcwala kwe-Christian Initiation. —UMfundisi omkhulu Sam G. Jacobs, uMbhishobhi wase-Alexandria, LA; Ukuthanda i-Flame, ikhasi. 7, nguMcDonnell noMontague

Ngokusobala, ama-charism, kufaka phakathi nezilimi, abonakala emakhulwini eminyaka emva kwePhentekoste. USt. Irenaeus uyanezela:

Ngendlela efanayo futhi sizwa abazalwane abaningi eSontweni, abanezipho zokuprofetha, futhi abathi ngoMoya bakhulume zonke izinhlobo zezilimi, futhi baveze izinto ezifihliwe zabantu zisizakale jikelele, futhi bamemezele izimfihlakalo zikaNkulunkulu, okunguye futhi umphostoli athi "ungowomoya," bona bengabomoya ngoba badla uMoya, hhayi ngoba inyama yabo ihlutshiwe yathathwa, futhi ngenxa yokuthi sebengabomoya kuphela. -Ngokumelene Nobuqili, Incwadi V, 6: 1

Njengoba uSt. Paul efundisa ukuthi iminikelo inikezwa ukwakhiwa koMzimba kaKristu, bekungeke yini idingeke ngaso sonke isikhathi eSontweni, mhlawumbe ikakhulukazi manje? ^[2]isib. 1 Kor 14: 3, 12, 26 Futhi, le "theology of expiry" iphikisana nomlando womlando, uma kungenjalo kunengqondo uqobo. ISonto lisakhipha amadimoni. Usenza izimangaliso. Usaprofetha. Akasakhulumi ngezilimi na? Impendulo ithi yebo.

 

Q. Kunjengokungathi awazi ngokufundwa okunikezwe yiChurch for Office of Readings on the Vigil of Pentecost: “Futhi njengamadoda ngamanye athola uMoya oNgcwele ngalezo zinsuku [zabaPhostoli] ayekwazi ukukhuluma ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezilimi, ngakho namuhla iSonto, elihlanganiswe nguMoya oNgcwele, likhuluma ngolimi lwabo bonke abantu. Ngakho-ke, uma umuntu engathi komunye wethu, 'Uthole uMoya oNgcwele, kungani ungakhulumi ngezilimi?' Impendulo yakhe kufanele ithi, 'Ngempela ngikhuluma ngezilimi zabo bonke abantu, ngoba ngingowomzimba kaKristu, okungukuthi, iSonto, futhi ukhuluma zonke izilimi. ”

Lokhu kufundwa kweLiturgy yeSonto kukhombisa ukuthi ukukhuluma ngezilimi okuyisimangaliso kweSonto lokuqala akusekho kumKrestu ngamunye, kepha kunalokho ukuthi wonke umKristu ukhuluma ulimi lwakhe, ngakho-ke iSonto nalo likhuluma ngazo zonke izilimi nezilimi.

Impela, umuntu akanakuphikisana nomfanekiso onamandla nomlayezo owenzekile esenzakalweni sokuqala sokuqoshwa kwezilimi ngemuva kwePentekoste. Uma uMbhoshongo waseBabele uletha ukwahlukana kwezilimi, iPentekoste laletha ubunye babo ngendlela yokomoya…

… Ngalokho okukhomba ukuthi ubunye beSonto LamaKhatholika buzohlanganisa zonke izizwe, futhi ngendlela efanayo buzokhuluma ngezilimi zonke. —USt. Augustine, Idolobha LikaNkulunkulu, Incwadi XVIII, Ch. 49

Kodwa-ke, umfundi wami uyehluleka ukwamukela kokubili ukulandisa koFata beSonto futhi ngokubabazekayo izigidi zamakhadinali, ababhishobhi, abapristi kanye nabantu abavamile emhlabeni wonke abanalo loluthando noma abake babona ukusebenza kwalo ngendlela ethile. UPapa Paul VI, uJohn Paul II, noBenedict XVI bebekhona emibuthanweni “enomusa” lapho abathembekile bebethandaza ngezilimi. Kunokuba bayigxeke le nhlangano, bayikhuthaze ngqo emoyeni kaSt.Paul, ongukuhlanganisa nokwamukela enhliziyweni yeSonto, bebeka izinkolelo ekusebenzeni koMzimba kaKristu. Ngakho-ke, uPapa Paul VI wazibuza,

Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi lokhu 'kuvuselelwa ngokomoya' kungabi yithuba leBandla kanye nomhlaba? Futhi, kuleli cala, kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umuntu angasebenzisi zonke izindlela zokuqinisekisa ukuthi kuhlala kunjalo… —International Conference on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Meyi 19, 1975, Rome, Italy, www.ewtn.com

Ebona zombili izici zeSonto ezisezingeni eliphezulu nezingaqondakali, uJohn Paul II wathi,

Izici zesikhungo nezesisa zibaluleke kakhulu njengoba zibalulekile kumthethosisekelo weSonto. Banikela, yize kwehlukile, empilweni, ekuvuseleleni nasekungcwelisweni kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. —Inkulumo eya kwi-World Congress of Ecclesial Movements and New Communities, ku-www.vatican.va

UFr. URaneiro uchaze ngale ndlela:

… ISonto… linobukhosi futhi linomusa, liyisikhungo futhi liyimfihlakalo: iSonto elingahlali isakramente yedwa kepha futhi ngo uthando. Amaphaphu amabili omzimba weSonto aphinde asebenze ndawonye ngokuvumelana okuphelele. - Woza, Moya woMdali: ukuzindla ngoMdali waseVeni, nguRaniero Cantalamessa, k. 184

Le ndlela ekabili yeSonto — ibonakala ngokusobala ekuqaleni kwayo njengoba bobabili befundisa futhi kwasebenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso — kwaphinde kwafanekiselwa kahle lapho inhlansi yalokho okwakuzokwaziwa ngokuthi “ukuvuselelwa okuhehayo” ikhanyiswa eDuquesne University ngo-1967. Lapho, abafundi abaningi babehlangene eThe Ark naseDover Retreat House. Futhi ngaphambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe, uMoya Ongcwele wathululwa ngokungalindelekile njengakwiPentekoste phezu kwemiphefumulo eminingi.

Ngehora elilandelayo, uNkulunkulu uqobo wadonsela abafundi abaningi esontweni. Abanye bebehleka, abanye bekhala. Abanye bathandaza ngezilimi, abanye (njengami) bezwa umuzwa ovuthayo uhamba ngezandla zabo… Kwakuwukuzalwa kweCatholic Charismatic Renewal! - UPatti Gallagher-Mansfield, ufakazi wokuzibonela nowabamba iqhaza, http://www.ccr.org.uk/duquesne.htm

Ngakho-ke, uPapa Benedict XVI — mhlawumbe omunye wezazi zemfundiso yenkolo ovelele ezikhathini zanamuhla — wathi:

Ikhulu leminyaka elidlule, elifafazwe amakhasi adabukisayo omlando, ngasikhathi sinye ligcwele ubufakazi obumangalisayo bokuvuka ngokomoya nangokomoya kuzo zonke izindawo zempilo yomuntu… Ngiyethemba ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uzohlangana nokwamukelwa okuthe xaxa ezinhliziyweni zamakholwa nokuthi 'isiko lePhentekoste' lizosabalala, liyadingeka esikhathini sethu. -Khuluma ne-International Congress, iZenit, ngoSepthemba 29, 2005

 

Q. Ngicabanga ukuthi kubalulekile ukugcizelela ukuthi akumele nanini sicele lezi zipho. Banikezwa mahhala nguNkulunkulu ukuze kuzuze abanye. Kunengozi etholakala ekungaqondini ukuthi wena, uthini. Futhi kube nokuhlukunyezwa okuningi nguSathane ukuzikhulumela yedwa.

Kunomehluko phakathi kokufuna izipho zikamoya ngenxa yabo ngokungafani nokucela izipho, ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu, ngenxa yoMbuso. UJesu wafundisa:

Cela uzokwamukela… kakhulu kangakanani uBaba osezulwini uzakubanika uMoya oNgcwele labo abambizayo. (Luka 11: 9, 13)

Yini engajabulisa uBaba kakhulu? Ukucela imali, okokwembatha, nokudla noma ukucela izipho zikamoya ezizokwakha uMzimba kaKristu? Funani kuqala uMbuso, khona-ke zonke lezi zinto ziyonikelwa ngaphandle kwalokho. ^[3]isib. Mat 6:31 Nakhu okushiwo uSt. Paul:

Bonke baneziphiwo zokuphulukisa na? Bonke bakhuluma ngezilimi na? Bonke bayatolika na? Lwela ngentshiseko ukuthola izipho zikamoya ezinkulu kakhulu. (1 Kor 12: 30-31)

Vele, uSt. Paul ukhuthaza ama-charism phakathi kwemfundiso ebanzi yezipho zikaMoya. Kunokuba esabe noma abe namahloni ngazo, kunalokho ubabeka ohlakeni lokuhlakanipha nokuhleleka okuhle.

Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, shisekelani ukuprofetha, ningakwenqabeli ukukhuluma ngezilimi, kepha konke makwenziwe ngokufaneleyo, nangohlelo. (1 Kor. 14:39)

 

U. Ebhayibhelini, labo ababekhuluma babekuqonda abakushoyo, futhi labo abezwayo bakuqonda okwakushiwo — noma ngabe izilimi zazihlukile. Isipho sezilimi siqondwa yisikhulumi kanye nalowo ozwayo.

Abanye abagxeki bathi ukukhuluma ngezilimi kuhlala kuhlotshaniswa nekhono elingaphezu kwemvelo lokukhuluma okunengqondo, eyiqiniso izilimi zakwamanye amazwe, nokuthi “ukubhuza” kwezilimi zanamuhla kumane nje kuyilokho.

Kodwa-ke, imibhalo yeBhayibheli uqobo ikhombisa kwasekuqaleni ukuthi isipho sezilimi sasikhona hhayi njalo kuyaqondakala, kungaba yilowo okhulumayo, noma umlaleli.

Manje, bazalwane, uma ngiza kini ngikhuluma ngezilimi, ngiyonisiza ngani uma ngingakhulumi kini ngokwambulelwa, noma ngolwazi, noma ngokuprofetha, noma ngokufundiswa? … Ngakho-ke, okhuluma ngezilimi kufanele athandaze ukuze akwazi ukuhumusha. (1 Kor. 14: 6, 13)

Ngokusobala, kulokhu uPawulu ukhuluma ngalesi sikhulumi nomlaleli abangakwazi ukuqonda okushiwoyo. Ngakho-ke, uSt. Paul ubala incazelo yezilimi njengesinye sezipho zikaMoya.

Bonke bakhuluma ngezilimi na? Bonke bayatolika na? Lwela ngentshiseko ukuthola izipho zikamoya ezinkulu kakhulu. (1 Kor 12: 30-31)

Uma isipho sezilimi sisebenza kuphela uma lowo okhulumayo enolimi lwakwelinye izwe “olunengqondo” futhi “oluyiqiniso”, futhi lowo olalelayo angaqonda kahle… kungani isipho sokuhumusha sidingeka? Impendulo esobala ukuthi ukubonakaliswa kwezilimi ngePhentekoste kwakhulunywa futhi kwaqondakala kuleso simo ngoba leso simo se abanye. Kepha ezinye izimo zezilimi eSontweni lokuqala zaqondwa ekekho neyodwa. USt. Paul ugcizelela isimilo esiyindida futhi esiyindida salokhu “Ulimi lwabantu nolwezingelosi”: ^[4]I-1 Cor 13: 1

Ngoba lowo okhuluma ngezilimi akakhulumi kubantu kodwa ukhuluma noNkulunkulu, ngoba akekho olalelayo; ukhuluma izimfihlakalo emoyeni… Ngendlela efanayo, noMoya uyasisiza ebuthakathakeni bethu; ngokuba asikwazi ukukhuleka njengokufaneleyo, kepha uMoya uqobo uthethelela ukububula okungachazeki; (1 Kor 14: 2; Rom 8:26)

Ngenkathi uSt. Paul esho ngokusobala ukuthi izilimi ziyisibonakaliso kwabangakholwayo, ^[5]isib. 1 Kor 14:22 neqiniso lokuthi uMoya uthandaza ngomuntu ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu nalo ngumusa okholwayo. Njengoba uSt. Paul ebhala:

Lowo okhuluma ngezilimi uzakha yena, kepha lowo oprofethayo wakha ibandla. (1 Kor 14: 4)

Yilesi sici ngasinye sezilimi "njengolimi lomkhuleko" abanye abagxeki abathi bayaphikisana neBhayibheli. Kepha ebhekisa futhi kuBaba BeSonto, uSt. John Chrysostom uthi, yize ukuprofetha kukhulu, izilimi kulokhu “zisho ukuthi kunenzuzo ethile, noma incane, futhi inokwanela umnikazi wayo kuphela.” ^[6]Ukuphawula ngeyoku-1 Korinte 14: 4; newadvent.org OFata beSonto benanelisa njalo uPaul, befundisa ukuthi izipho zenzelwe "ukwakha iBandla". Lokhu kusho ukuthi izilimi nezinye iziphiwo zaziyingxenye "yobujwayelekile" yobuKristu ngale kweSonto. Futhi basaqhubeka nokuba njalo, ngokwemfundiso esemthethweni yeSonto. Futhi:

Noma ngabe bunjani ubunjalo babo — kwesinye isikhathi buba yinto engajwayelekile, njengesipho semimangaliso noma sezilimi — imisuka ekhombise umusa ongcwelisayo futhi ihloselwe ukuzuzisa iSonto. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2003

Ngiyakhumbula eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule ukuthi unkosikazi wami — ngaleso sikhathi owayengumKatolika ojwayelekile, owayezelwe — wayethandaza eyedwa egumbini lakhe. Ngokushesha inhliziyo yakhe yaqala ukushaya, futhi kusukela ekujuleni kolimi wathulula. Ayenzelwanga kodwa yayingalindelekile nhlobo — njengePentekoste. Lokhu kwenzeke ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kwe- "Life in the Spirit Seminar", okulungiselelwa ngokwezifundiso “ukubeka izandla” kanye “nokubhabhadiswa ngoMoya,”

Sisenza lokho okwenziwa abaphostoli ngenkathi bebeka izandla kumaSamariya futhi behlisa uMoya oNgcwele phezu kwabo ekubekweni kwezandla. Kulindeleke ukuthi abaguqukayo bakhulume ngezilimi ezintsha. —USt. U-Augustine waseHippo (umthombo awaziwa)

Kodwa-ke, kufanele kushiwo ngokugcizelela lapha ukuthi hhayi Ukuba nesipho sezilimi akufanele kuchazwe ngokuthi "ukungabi noMoya oNgcwele." Sibekwe uphawu ngoMoya ekubhapathizweni nasekuqinisekisweni. Kepha qaphela ukuthi abaPhostoli bathola ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele, hhayi ngePhentekoste kuphela, kepha kaninginingi. Lesi senzakalo senzeka ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kwePhentekoste:

Kwathi bekhuleka, indawo ababebuthene kuyo yazamazama, base begcwaliswa bonke ngoMoya oNgcwele. (IzEnzo 4:31)

Lokhu kusho ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele ungakhishwa ngezindlela ezintsha futhi ezinamandla phakathi nezimpilo zethu, okuwukuqwashiswa kwenhlangano yamandla abuyiselwe eSontweni.

Ekugcineni, kothile ongajwayelene nesipho sezilimi, kuzwakala kungajwayelekile. Umuntu angazwakala sengathi "udakiwe", njengoba basho abaPhostoli ngemuva kwePhentekoste. ^[7]isib. Izenzo 2: 12-15 UPaul wakwamukela lokhu, wengeza izeluleko ezithile ezinengqondo:

Ngakho-ke uma ibandla lonke lihlangana endaweni eyodwa futhi wonke umuntu akhulume ngezilimi, bese kungena abantu abangafundile noma abangakholwa, ngeke yini bathi usangene? … Uma noma ngubani ekhuluma ulimi, akube babili noma babe ngabathathu, bese ngamunye elandelana, futhi omunye ahumushe. Kepha uma kungekho utolika, umuntu kufanele athule esontweni akhulume yedwa futhi akhulume noNkulunkulu. (1 Kor. 14:23, 27-28)

Ngakho-ke, sibona izici zomuntu siqu nezinkampani zokukhuluma ngezilimi.

Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngikhathazeke kakhulu ukuthi izipho zikaMoya ziyacinywa namuhla kunokuthi ngikhathazeke ngenkohliso noma "ububi" obenzeka njalo ekuhambeni kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba sinesiko Elingcwele ngaso sonke isikhathi ukusiqondisa nokusicasula. Ngempela, i- i-hyper-rationalism yosuku lwethu lokho okungafaki isimangaliso kungenye yezinkohliso ezinamandla zangempela ezikhathini zethu okuqeda ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu…
