Amabutho Okukhanya Nobumnyama

Umhlaba uhlukaniswa ngokushesha waba amakamu amabili,
ubudlelwano bomphiki-Kristu
kanye nobuzalwane bukaKristu.
Kudwetshwa imigqa phakathi kwalokhu okubili.
Kuyoze kube nini impi asazi;
ukuthi izinkemba kuyodingeka zikhishwe emgodleni asazi;
ukuthi igazi kuyodingeka lichithwe asazi;
ukuthi kuzoba umbango wezikhali asazi.
Kodwa ekungqubuzaneni phakathi kweqiniso nobumnyama,
iqiniso alikwazi ukulahlekelwa.

Tlezi yizinsuku ze-surreal. Ngisho nakimi, ngemva kokubhala ngalezi zinto iminyaka engu-20, kuyi-surreal ukuzibona zigcwaliseka ngesikhathi sangempela.

Isibonelo, ngo-2007 ngezwa isexwayiso sikaMoya Umshini Omkhulu iBandla selihambe kakhulu emhlabeni ngenxa yokuswelakala kokwelusa kweqiniso nezono zomphakathi. Leso sihloko sakhuluma ngendlela intsha elungiselelwa ngayo ukulandela ivangeli lamanga, uma kungenjalo enobudlova abashushisi, ngohide lwenkulumo-ze nokuzijabulisa okonakele. A umoya wamavukelambuso yayinyakaziswa kuzo. Leso sihloko siphinde sakhuluma ngendlela uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esifanayo enza ngayo iButho Lokukhanya - uma kungenjalo abafel 'ukholo - kulezi zikhathi, futhi ekugcineni wabikezela ihora esiphila kulo manje. Kuyisixwayiso esesifezekile njengoba sekubunjwe amabutho okukhanya nobumnyama, ngoba intsha yayizolo (ngenkathi ngibhala kanjalo) isiyintsha yanamuhla.

Ibutho Lobumnyama

Ngizizwe ngiholelwa ukuthi ngibukele amavidiyo amaningana namhlanje ekuseni ka-Charlie Kirk ephikisana nabafundi ekhempasini. Okwangihlaba kakhulu yizinga lobutha nokucasuka kwabamelene naye. Ungafingqa imizwa yabo eminingi njengokuthukuthela njengoba uKirk alokotha aphakamise ubungcwele bempilo, ubulili obuhlonipha uNkulunkulu, kanye nokubusa okuqotho - isikhundla esiphazamisa ngokusobala isifiso sabaphikisi bakhe ukwephula lezi. Kweminye yemibhalo yami yokuqala ngqa eminyakeni engaba ngu-20 edlule, ngabhala ‘ngokungabekezelelani “kokubekezelelana!”’ futhi yeka ukuthi kuthakazelisa kanjani ukuthi labo abasola amaKristu ngenzondo nokungabekezelelani ngokuvamile yibona abanobuthi obukhulu ngephimbo nangezinhloso zabo. Ngokusho kukaBenedict XVI:

Ukungabekezelelani okusha kuyasabalala, lokho kusobala impela… inkolo embi yenziwa indinganiso enonya okufanele ilandelwe yiwo wonke umuntu. Lokho-ke kubonakala sengathi kuyinkululeko - ngesizathu esisodwa nje sokuthi kuwukukhululwa esimweni sangaphambilini. -Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, k. 52

U-Kirk wayezimisele ukubhekana nalokhu kungezwani okusha ubuso nobuso, kwaze kwaba yilapho kumlahlekisela ngokuphila kwakhe.

Kungikhumbuza uSt. James owabhala:

Yini ebangela izimpi, futhi yini ebangela ukulwa phakathi kwenu? Akuzona yini izinkanuko zenu ezilwa emalungwini enu? Niyafisa, kodwa aninakho; ngakho uyabulala. (UJames 4: 1-2)

Tyler Robinson, umfundi waseKolishi oneminyaka engu-22 ubudala wase-Utah owabulala u-Kirk, yilokho kanye engangixwayisa ngakho Umshini Omkhulu. Akayena umjikijeli othile noma iqaba elivela kwelinye izwe. Ubonakala engumfundi osemusha wasekolishi waseMelika owayekade ekhona i-radicalized ngokuphelele ngemfundiso kaMarxist neyokuziphatha yesizukulwane sakhe. Izenzo zakhe zihambisana nomthetho isiko lokufa ukuthi wakhulela lapho ukuphila komuntu kungasuswa khona futhi kufanele kuqedwe noma nini lapho kuphazamiseka—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukukhulelwa okungafunwa, isakhamuzi esingafunwa, noma izwi leqiniso elingafunwa.

Le anti-Gospel, efuna ukukhulisa intando yomuntu ngamunye yokudla, ukuthokozisa namandla phezu kwentando kaNkulunkulu, yenqatshwa nguKristu ngenkathi elingwa ehlane. Ifihliwe 'njengamalungelo abantu,' sekuphinde kwavela, kuzo zonke izinhlobo zayo zenzuzo, ukumemezela isimo sengqondo sobudlwangudlwangu, sokuthanda izinto ezenqaba noma isiphi isithiyo ngaphandle kwalapho kubekwa yimithetho eyenziwe ngabantu. —Fr. ULinus Clovis weFamily Life International, ukhulume eRome Life Forum, ngoMeyi 18, 2017; LifeSiteNews.com

Ibutho Lokukhanya

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uNkulunkulu ubelokhu ephakamisa buthule Ibutho Lokukhanya, labesilisa nabesifazane abazinikele ekugcwalisekeni kweVangeli. Ubupapa bukaSt. John Paul II babengamandla angenakulinganiswa aheha izigidi zentsha emhlabeni wonke, enza inqwaba yamabizo obupristi nempilo yenkolo. Ubuphostoli bami buyimpendulo eqondile obizweni lukaJohane Paul II “evangelini elisha” nokuba…

… Abalindi abamemezela emhlabeni isizungu esisha sethemba, ubuzalwane nokuthula. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, ikheli le-Guanelli Youth Movement, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2002, www.v Vatican.va

Luyofika nini lolo suku?

Ngemuva kokuhlanzwa ngokuhlolwa nangokuhlupheka, ukuqala kwenkathi entsha sekuzophela. -IPOPE ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Izilaleli Ezijwayelekile, Septhemba 10, 2003

Eqinisweni, lapho ekhuluma nentsha ngoSuku Lomhlaba Lwentsha, uPapa akazange angabaze ukuchaza ukuthi wayesho ukuthini “ngokulingwa nokuhlupheka”:

Ngifisa ukumema abantu abasha ukuthi bavule izinhliziyo zabo ngeVangeli futhi babe ngofakazi bakaKristu; uma kunesidingo, okwakhe abafel 'ukholo, ususemnyango we-Millennium Yesithathu. —UYABUSISWA UJOHN PAUL II ebusheni, eSpain, ngo-1989

Nakuba abanye abefundisi bengase bawashwabadele la mazwi, bewabheka ngokuthi “inhlekelele nesigayegaye” nangokuthi “ayesabeka,” okwesabisa ngempela ukuthi izikhulu zabefundisi—ezimatasa ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, imvelo engokomoya, nokuthuthukisa uhlelo lwe-UN—azenze lutho kuleli shumi leminyaka elidlule ukuze zilungiselele futhi zenze intsha yethu engamaKatolika ibe abaphostoli beqiniso. Yize ngingavumelani nakho konke uKirk akushilo noma ngendlela akusho ngayo, ubelokhu egcwalisa i-vacuum emakolishi ekolishi iBandla elingenawo ngobubanzi. Imizuzwana ngaphambi kokubulawa kwakhe, U-Kirk wathi unokholo kuJesu Kristu, lapho ekolishi lezwe elivamile phambi kwezinkulungwane zabafundi. Kuyamangaza… kodwa nginomuzwa wokuthi ungowokuqala enkathini entsha yabafel’ ukholo emhlabathini waseNyakatho Melika. Kuze kube manje, ukufel’ ukholo kwamaKristu lapha ngokuvamile kuwukufel’ ukholo “okumhlophe” kokukhishwa inyumbazane, ukungabekezelelani, nokuhlekwa usulu (kuyilapho kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, njengaseNigeria, eShayina, naseNdiya, ukushushiswa ngobudlova kwamaKristu bekuqhubeka kahle).

Esikhathini sethu, intengo ezokhokhelwa ukwethembeka eVangelini ayisaphanyekwa, idonselwe futhi ihlukaniswe kathathu kepha imvamisa ifaka ukuxoshwa ezandleni, ukuhlekwa usulu noma ukwenziwa parodi. Noma kunjalo, 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

Kodwa kubonakala sengathi lokho sekushintshile. Inzondo evezwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kumaKristu isifinyelele ezingeni lobudemoni. Kodwa uma uhlala phezu kwalokhu, uyokwesaba. Eqinisweni, kungomusa kuphela ukuthi noma yimuphi wethu uzoba namandla okudlula kulokhu kuhlanzwa. Futhi uJesu ukulungele ukukuthululela phezu kwakho ngobuningi! Umfanekiso Womusa Waphezulu (esihlaselwa ngokuphawulekayo manje ngabashisekeli bendabuko abashisekayo), isithembiso sikaKristu kuwe sokuthi Inhliziyo Yakhe ivuleke kakhulu ukuthululela ulwandle lomusa phezu kwakho. Wayewafuna amazwi "Jesu ngiyakwethemba" kubhalwe esithombeni. Ngicabanga ukuthi uyaqonda ukuthi kungani manje...

Futhi angikhulumi ngokuhlephula amagama ekhadini lokuthandaza. Kunalokho, umuntu kufanele asondele ngempela kuJesu, ubeke impilo yakho yonke Kuye njengomngane. Kusho ukuba seduze kuYe ngomthandazo, kwi-Ekaristi - indlela u-St. John abeka ikhanda lakhe phezu kwesifuba sikaKristu imizuzu ngaphambi kokuba i-Pasion iqhume kubo bonke ubutha nokufutheka kwayo. Uma ukwesaba ukufela ukholo, udinga ukuzwa lokhu: Ngikholwa ukuthi yingoba uJohane oNgcwele wayesondelene kakhulu noJesu, elalela ukushaya kwenhliziyo Yakhe kunomsindo owawumzungezile, ukuthi uyena yedwa kubaPhostoli owama ngesibindi phambi konyawo lwesiphambano.. Kwakungabiza ukuphila kwakhe, kodwa wathola umusa wokuma lapho lapho ewudinga—hhayi umzuzu ngokushesha noma sekwephuze kakhulu. Kanjalo, uJohane wakwazi ukweqa ukugconwa, inzondo, nobudlova kuJesu ngoba ukunanela kothando loBunkulunkulu kwakuzwakala kakhulu.

Ezinsukwini ezizayo, izinsongo ezibhekiswe kumaKristu cishe zizokhula; amanga ayoba makhulu, acasule kakhulu; inzondo ingabila. I-Dialectical Marxism, eye yafakwa ohlelweni lwezemfundo emashumini amabili eminyaka edlule noma ngaphezulu, ibe nempumelelo enkulu ukuze ihlukanise abantu bodwa. Ikhiqize i-diabolical umoya wamavukelambuso kulabo abadukiswa yikho.

Njengoba ngishilo kweyami ividiyo yokugcina, impendulo iwukuthanda izitha zethu njengoba uKristu asithanda kwaze kwaba sekufeni. Kulabo abacabanga ukuthi lokhu kuwukungenzi lutho, empeleni kuthatha amandla amakhulu kunabo bonke ukuthula, ukuthethelela, futhi ubusise labo abasiqalekisayo. “Uthando alusoze lwaphela,” kubhala uSt.^[1]I-1 Cor 13: 8

Mhlawumbe uCharlie Kirk, indoda enamagama amaningi, manje usewuphawu kithina lonke uhlobo olukhulu uthando okufanele luthathe…

Uma igama lingaguquki, kuyoba yigazi eliguqukayo. —I-ST. UJOHN PAUL II, enkondlweni ethi “Stanislaw”

… Ngeke siphambukiswe endleleni yethu, noma ngabe umhlaba uyasiyenga ngokumomotheka kwawo noma uzama ukusesabisa ngokusongela nqunu kokulingwa nokuhlupheka kwawo. —USt. UPeter Damian, Imfundo yamahora, Umq. II, 1778

ISonto… lihlose ukuqhubeka nokuphakamisa izwi lalo ekuvikeleni isintu, noma ngabe izinqubomgomo zezwe kanye neningi lombono womphakathi ziya kolunye uhlangothi. Iqiniso, impela, lidonsela amandla kulo hhayi kunani lemvume eliyivusayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican, Mashi 20, 2006
