NGINE abafundi abaningi bamaProthestani. Omunye wabo ungibhalele mayelana nendatshana yakamuva Izimvu Zami Lizolazi Izwi Lami Esiphepho, futhi wabuza:
Lokhu kungishiya kuphi njengomProthestani?
UKUHLAZIYWA
UJesu wathi uzokwakha iBandla Lakhe “edwaleni” —okusho ukuthi, uPetru — noma ngolimi lukaKristu lwesi-Aramu: “uKhefase”, okusho ukuthi “idwala”. Ngakho-ke, cabanga ngeSonto ngaleso sikhathi njengeNtaba.
Izintaba zandulela intaba, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ngazo ngokuthi "Ubhapathizo". Umuntu udlula eziNtabeni ukuze afinyelele eNtabeni.
Manje, uJesu wathi, “Edwaleni leli ngizokwakha ibandla lami” —hhayi amasonto (Math 16: 18). Uma kunjalo, i one Isonto uKristu alakha lingatholakala kuphela one indawo: “edwaleni”, okungukuthi, “uPetru” nabalandela ngemuva kwakhe. Ngakho-ke, ngokunengqondo, iNtaba yi ISonto LamaKatolika ngoba kulapho kutholakala umugqa onganqamuki woPhapha. Ergo, kulapho uchungechunge olunganqamuki lwezimfundiso zeNkosi lutholakala kukho konke okuphathisiwe.
“Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni yeNkosi, siye endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ukuze asifundise izindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe.” Ngoba ukuyophuma eSiyoni ... (U-Isaya 2: 3)
ISonto kulo mhlaba yisakramente lensindiso, uphawu kanye nethuluzi lokuhlangana kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. —Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika, 780
Ingabe useNtabeni, noma eziNtabeni ezisezansi kwayo, noma mhlawumbe, kwenye indawo emathafeni?
Ingqungquthela Yentaba nguJesu, iNhloko yeBandla. Ungasho futhi ukuthi le Ngqungquthela nguZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele ngoba uJesu umunye noYise noMoya oNgcwele. Kukule Ngqungquthela lapho wonke amaqiniso atholakala kwezinye izinkolo ezinkulu akhomba khona. Futhi empeleni, yiNgqungquthela efunwa yibo bonke abantu, noma ngabe bayakuqonda noma cha.
Kodwa-ke, akuwona wonke umuntu oseNtabeni. Abanye bayenqaba ukungena ezinyathelweni zobhapathizo, benqaba njengamanje (okungenani ngokwengqondo noma mhlawumbe ngokungazi) ukuthi uJesu unguMesiya. Abanye bangene eziNtabeni, kodwa benqaba ukuqwala iNtaba. Bayenqaba (mhlawumbe ngokungazi) iHlathi le-Dogmas elizungezile, njengePurgatory, ukukhulunyelwa kwabaNgcwele, ubupristi besilisa bonke ... noma benqaba ukudlula eKedars of Human Dignity, kusukela ekukhulelweni kuya ekufeni kwemvelo. Futhi abanye babheka njengemithambeka ebabazekayo kaMariya njengengafinyeleleki ngokwengqondo. Futhi, abanye bazizwa besongelwa amawa amakhulu amaSakramente, agqunywe yiNtaba yabaPhostoli eboshwe iqhwa.
Futhi-ke, abaningi bahlala emaFothoth of Fundamentals, begxumagxuma ukusuka egqumeni kuya endundumeni, ebhange kuya ku-bluff, ukuhlangana komkhuleko esifundweni sebhayibheli, ukumisa kancane ukuphuza emanzini we-Waters of Worship naseMifuleni Yemibhalo (okwenzeka, kwehla eqhweni- cap, kusuka kuleso siQongo lapho ukuPhefumulelwa okukhazimulayo kukaMoya oNgcwele kwahlangana khona emva kwePentekoste.Phela, kwaba ngabalandela boMphostoli abathi cishe ngekhulu lesine leminyaka banquma ukuthi yini okwakungamanzi amsulwa (umBhalo ophefumulelwe), futhi okwakungekhona, ukugcina kuphela i-Tenet's engahlanjululwanga yeQiniso, ukuvumela okusele ukuthi kwehlele ezigodini ezingezansi…) Ngokudabukisayo, eminye imiphefumulo ekugcineni iyakhathala ngamazinga aphansi. Banquma ukushiya izintaba ngokuphelele, bekholelwa emangeni athi iNtaba imane iyidwala eliyize… or, intaba-mlilo embi, ehlose ukunqoba noma yini esendleleni yayo. Bazalwa benesifiso sokuthinta isibhakabhaka, bahambela eMadolobheni Wokuzikhohlisa ukuze bathenge "amaphiko", ngentengo yomphefumulo wabo.
Futhi-ke, abanye badansa ngamagquma, sengathi ngamaphiko kaMoya… Bafisa ukundiza, futhi kubonakala kimi, isifiso sabo sibaholela eduzane neNtaba, ngisho nasenkabeni yayo uqobo.
Kodwa kukhona nombono omangazayo: imiphefumulo eminingi ilele eNtabeni… kanti eminye iminyene odakeni lwaseStagnancy kanye naseMachibini Wokunethezeka. Abanye bayawa futhi baningi nokugijima kude neNtaba yi amashumi ezinkulungwane—abanye baze bagqoke izingubo ezimhlophe namakhola! Ngenxa yalokhu, abaningi eFothoth bayayesaba iNtaba, ngoba ukwehla kwemiphefumulo kubukeka kufana ne-avalanche ngempela!
Manje lokho kukushiya kuphi wena mfundi othandekayo? Noma nguwe kuphela noNkulunkulu nazi inhliziyo yenu, iBandla lingathi:
Ubhapathizo lwakha isisekelo senhlanganyelo phakathi kwawo wonke amaKrestu, kubandakanya nalabo abangakabi nenhlanganyelo ephelele neSonto LamaKhatholika. Balungisiswe ngokukholwa kuBhaphathizo, [bafakwa] kuKristu; ngakho-ke banelungelo lokubizwa ngokuthi bangamaKristu, futhi ngesizathu esihle bamukelwa njengabafowabo izingane zeSonto LamaKatolika. ” “Ngakho-ke ubhapathizo lwakha isibopho seSakramente sobunye ekhona phakathi kwabo bonke abazalwa kabusha ngayo. ” —Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika, 1271
Yebo, sonke kumele sibuze ukuthi, “Ngikuphi?” - kungaba owamaKatolika noma owamaProthestani noma yini onayo. Ngoba amanye amagquma akuwona aweBanga LikaNkulunkulu, futhi izigodi eziningi zibukeka njengezintaba uma usezansi kwazo.
Okokugcina, ezinye izikhundla ezivela kuMphostoli uPaul, nakwabalandelayo:
KULABO ABASENTABENI
Thobela abaholi bakho futhi uhlehlise kubo, ngoba bahlala bekugadile futhi kuzodingeka baphendule, ukuze bafeze umsebenzi wabo ngenjabulo hhayi ngosizi, ngoba lokho ngeke kukusize ngalutho. (AmaHeberu 13: 17; UPawulu ekhuluma namakholwa mayelana nababhishobhi nabaholi babo.)
Yimani niqine futhi nibambelele emasikweni enanifundiswa wona, ngomlomo noma ngencwadi. (2 Thesalonika 2: 15 ; UPawulu ekhuluma namakholwa aseThesalonika)
KWABASEDuzane NENTABA
Ziqapheleni nina kanye nawo wonke umhlambi uMoya oNgcwele okumise njengababonisi kuwo, lapho niphatha ibandla likaNkulunkulu alizuza ngegazi lakhe. (Izenzo 20: 28; UPawulu ekhuluma nababhishobhi bokuqala beBandla)
Vikela iqiniso oliphathiswe nguMoya oNgcwele ohlala ngaphakathi kwethu. (I-2 Timothy 1: 14; UPawulu ubhalela uThimothewu, umbhishobhi osemusha)
KULABO ABASEZINYAWENI
Kodwa-ke, umuntu akakwazi ukukhokhisa ngesono sokwehlukanisa labo okwamanje abazalelwa kule miphakathi [okuholele ekuhlukaneni okunjalo] futhi abakhulele okholweni lukaKristu, futhi iSonto LamaKatolika libamukela ngenhlonipho nothando njengoba bafowethu. . . . Bonke abaye balungisiswa ngokukholwa kuBhaphathizo bafakwa kuKristu; ngakho-ke banelungelo lokubizwa ngokuthi bangamaKristu, futhi ngesizathu esihle bayamukelwa njengabafowabo eNkosini ngabantwana beSonto LamaKatolika. ” -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 818
KULABO ABASEZINTLENI
Ngibonga uKristu kanye neBandla lakhe, labo abathi ngaphandle kwephutha labo abalazi iVangeli likaKristu neBandla lakhe kepha bafuna ngobuqotho uNkulunkulu futhi, beqhutshwa umusa, bazama ukwenza intando yakhe njengoba kwaziwa ngamandla omoya angathola insindiso yaphakade. —Ukuhlanganiswa kweCatechism of the Catholic Church, 171
