NGOMKHOSI WESIHLALO SE ST. UPETRU UMPHOSTOLI
Qaphela: Uma uyekile ukwamukela ama-imeyili avela kimi, hlola ifolda yakho ye- "junk" noma "spam" bese uwamaka njengokungewona udoti.
I ngangidlula embukisweni wezohwebo lapho ngithola idokodo elithi "Christian Cowboy". Abahlezi onqenqemeni bekunenqwaba yamabhayibheli e-NIV anezithombe zamahhashi esembozweni. Ngiphakamise eyodwa, ngase ngibheka la madoda amathathu abephambi kwami egiya ngokuziqhenya ngaphansi komphetho wamaStetsons awo.
“Ngiyabonga ngokusabalalisa iZwi, bafowethu,” kusho mina, ngibabuyisela ukumamatheka kwabo. “Nami ngingumvangeli ongumKatolika.” Ngalokho, ubuso babo behla, ukumamatheka kwabo kuphoqelekile manje. Umdala kunabo bonke abathathu bezinkomo, indoda engizibophezele eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha, wavele wathi, “Huh. Yini ukuthi? "
Ngangazi kahle ukuthi ngangikuphi.
“Umvangeli ongumKatolika ngumuntu oshumayela iVangeli, lokuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNdlela, neQiniso nokuPhila.”
“Hhayi-ke kungcono uyeke ukukhonza uMariya…”
Futhi ngalokhu, le ndoda yaqala ngohlelo lokuthi iSonto LamaKhatholika aliyilo yini iSonto langempela, into nje esungulwe eminyakeni eyi-1500 eyedlule; ukuthi ushoshozela "uhlelo lomhlaba olusha", futhi uPapa Francis ufuna "inkolo eyodwa yomhlaba"… [1]qhathanisa Ngabe uFrancis wakhuthaza inkolo eyodwa yomhlaba? Ngazama ukuphendula izinsolo zakhe, kepha wayehlala enginqamula phakathi nesigwebo. Ngemuva kwemizuzu eyi-10 yokushintshana okungahambi kahle, ekugcineni ngithe kuye, “Mnumzane, uma ucabanga ukuthi ngilahlekile, mhlawumbe kufanele uzame ukuzuza umphefumulo wami kunokuba ube nempikiswano.”
Ngaleso sikhathi, omunye wabafana abasha bezinkomo waqhuma phezulu. “Ngingathenga ikhofi?” Ngalokho, sabalekela enkantolo yokudla.
Wayengumuntu othandekayo — ehluke kakhulu kunomuntu ayesebenza naye owayezidla. Waqala ukungibuza imibuzo ngenkolo yami yobuKatolika. Ngokusobala, ubekade efunda lezi zimpikiswano ngokumelene UbuKatolika, kodwa ngomqondo ovulekile. Ngokushesha, Peter waba isikhungo sengxoxo yethu. [2]Ingxoxo yaqhubekela phambili ngale migqa, noma ngabe ngingeze eminye imininingwane ebalulekile yomlando lapha ukuhlanganisa imfundiso yenkolo.
Waqala, “Lapho uJesu ethi, 'UnguPetru futhi phezu kwaleli dwala ngizokwakha ibandla lami,' umbhalo wesandla wesiGreki uthi, 'Nguwe Petros futhi kulokhu petra Ngizokwakha isonto lami. ' Petros kusho ukuthi “itshe elincane” njengokuthi kuphi petra kusho ukuthi “idwala elikhulu.” Lokho uJesu ayekusho ngempela kwakungu "Peter, uyitshe elincane, kepha Kimi," idwala elikhulu ", ngizokwakha iBandla lami."
Ngaphendula, “NgesiGreki, igama elisho“ idwala ”liyiqiniso ngempela petra. Kepha isimo sowesilisa salokho ama-petros. Ngakho-ke ekuqambeni igama likaPeter, ifomu lobudoda ngabe lalisetshenziswa. Kuyinto yohlelo lolimi engalungile ukusebenzisa petra lapho kubhekiselwa kowesilisa. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ubhekisa ohlotsheni lwakudala lwesiGreki, olwalusetshenziswa kusukela ngekhulu lesi-XNUMX kuya kwelesine leminyaka BC, futhi nangaleso sikhathi, lalivaleleke kakhulu ezinkondlweni zamaGrikhi. Ulimi lwababhali beTestamente Elisha lwalulolo lwesiKoine Greek lapho cha umehluko encazelweni wenziwa phakathi ama-petros futhi i-petra. ”
Ngokungafani nomphathi wakhe, umfana wezinkomo omncane walalela ngokucophelela.
“Kodwa akukho kulokhu okubaluleke ngempela, futhi isizathu ukuthi uJesu wayengakhulumi isiGreki, kepha wayekhuluma isi-Aramu. Alikho igama "lowesifazane" noma "owesilisa" elisho "idwala" ngolimi lwaKhe lwendabuko. Ngakho uJesu wayezothi, “Nguwe Kepha, futhi kulokhu kepha Ngizokwakha iSonto lami. ” Ngisho nezinye izazi ezingamaProthestani ziyavumelana ngaleli phuzu.
I-Aramaic eyisisekelo kulokhu ayinakuphikwa; okungenani kepha isetshenziswe kuzo zombili izigaba (“uyi kepha”Futhi“ kulokhu kodwa ” ), njengoba leli gama lalisetshenziselwa igama noma “idwala.” —Isazi seBaptist uDA Carson; I-Expositor's Bible Commentary, vol. 8, iZondervan, 368
“Noma kunjalo,” kusho umfana omncane wezinkomo, “uJesu yidwala. UPeter ungumuntu nje. Uma kukhona, uJesu wayemane ethi uzokwakha iBandla Lakhe ekukholweni kukaPeter. ”
Ngimbuke emehlweni bese ngimamatheka. Kwakuqabula kakhulu ukuhlangana nomKristu ongumVangeli owayevulekele ukuphikisana ngaphandle kobutha engabhekana nabo ezikhathini ezidlule.
“Yebo, into yokuqala engizoyibona kulo mbhalo ukuthi uJesu wayengancomi nje ukholo lukaPetru. Empeleni, leso sikhathi besibaluleke kakhulu lapho eguqula igama lakhe! "Ubusisiwe wena Simon Bar-Jona!… Futhi ngithi kuwe, unguPeter…" [3]isib. UMathewu 16: 17-18 Lokhu akusikiseli nakancane ukuthi uJesu wayemlulaza “njengetshe elincane” kodwa, eqinisweni, kwakukhulisa isikhundla sakhe. Lokhu kuguqulwa kwamagama kusikhumbuza omunye umlingiswa waseBhayibhelini uNkulunkulu amhlukanisa nabanye abantu: u-Abrahama. INkosi imemezela isibusiso kuye futhi iguqula negama layo nayo, ngokusekelwe, ikakhulukazi, kuye ukholo. Okuthokozisayo ukuthi isibusiso sika-Abrahama siza ngompristi omkhulu uMelkisedeki. Futhi uJesu, kusho uSt. Paul, wayefanekisela futhi afeze indima yakhe yokuba "ngumpristi omkhulu kuze kube phakade ngokohlelo lukaMelkisedeki." [4]I-Heb 6: 20
[UMelkisedeki] wabusisa u-Abrama ngala mazwi: "Makabusiswe u-Abrama nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, umdali wezulu nomhlaba"… Ngeke usabizwa ngokuthi u-Abrama; igama lakho uzakuba ngu-Abrahama, ngokuba ngikwenza uyise wezizwe eziningi. (UGenesise 14:19)
“Ngabe uyazi,” ngimbuza, “ukuthi igama elithi“ papa ”livela kwelesiLatini elithi“ papa ”, elisho ubaba?” Wavuma ngekhanda. “Esivumelwaneni Esidala, uNkulunkulu wabeka u-Abrahama njengobaba wezizwe eziningi. Esivumelwaneni Esisha, uPeter ubekwa njengobaba ezizweni futhi, yize kunjalo. Igama elithi "umKatolika", empeleni, lisho "jikelele." UPeter uyinhloko yeSonto lendawo yonke. ”
“Angikuboni kanjalo nje,” ephikisa. "UJesu uyinhloko yeSonto."
“Kodwa uJesu akasekho emhlabeni ngokwenyama,” kusho mina (ngaphandle kweSakramente Elibusisiwe). "Esinye isihloko sikaPapa sithi" Vicar of Christ ", okusho nje ukuthi umele Yena. Iyiphi inkampani engenayo i-CEO, noma inhlangano engumongameli, noma iqembu elinomqeqeshi? Akuwona umqondo ojwayelekile ukuthi iSonto lizoba nenhloko ebonakalayo? ”
"Ngicabanga kanjalo…"
“Yebo, kwakunguPetru kuphela lapho uJesu athi, 'Ngizokunika izikhiye zoMbuso.' Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, cha? UJesu ube esetshela uPetru lokho 'Noma yini oyibophayo emhlabeni iyakuboshwa ezulwini; futhi noma yini oyithukululayo emhlabeni iyokhululwa ezulwini. ' Eqinisweni, uJesu wayazi ncamashi lokho ayekwenza ngenkathi Ekhuluma lawo mazwi — Wayedweba ku-Isaya 22. ”
Amehlo omfana wenkomo anciphe ngenxa yelukuluku. Ngathatha ifoni yami, eneBhayibheli ledijithali, ngase ngiphenya u-Isaya 22.
“Manje, ngaphambi kokuthi ngifunde lokhu, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi kwiTestamente Elidala, kwakuyinto ejwayelekile ukuthi amakhosi ase-Near East abeke“ undunankulu ”othile embusweni wawo. Uzonikezwa igunya lenkosi uqobo kuleyo ndawo. Ku-Isaya, sifunda ngokunembile lokhu: inceku u-Eliakim enikezwa igunya lenkosi kaDavide:
Ngizomembathisa ingubo yakho, ngimmbathise ibhande lakho, ngimnike igunya lakho. Uyakuba ngubaba wabakhileyo eJerusalema, nasendlini yakwaJuda. Ngizobeka ukhiye weNdlu kaDavide ehlombe lakhe; akuvulayo akekho ozovala, noma yini ayivalayo akekho ozovula. Ngizomlungisa njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinile, isihlalo sokuhlonishwa kwendlu yokhokho bakhe. (Isaya 22: 20-23)
Lapho ngifunda lesi siqephu, ngama isikhashana ezindaweni ezithile. “Qaphela ukubhekiswa kwezingubo ezinde nemibhida okusagqokwa namuhla?… Phawula isethenjwa esithi“ baba ”?… Qaphela“ ukhiye ”?… Qaphela“ ukubopha nokukhulula ”okufana“ nokuvula nokuvala ”?… Bona ukuthi ihhovisi lakhe“ kulungisiwe ”?”
Umfana wezinkomo akazange asho okuningi, kodwa ngangibona amasondo ezinqola zakhe zijika.
“Iphuzu yileli: UJesu wadala esikhundleni, uPeter kuphela uyabamba. Empeleni, bonke abaPhostoli abayishumi nambili banehhovisi. ”
Washintsha ngokungahambi kahle esihlalweni sakhe, kodwa ngokungavamile, waqhubeka elalela.
"Uke waqaphela encazelweni yoMuzi kaNkulunkulu encwadini yeSambulo ukuthi kunamatshe ayisisekelo ayishumi nambili ngaphansi kodonga lomuzi?"
Udonga lomuzi lwalunezintambo eziyishumi nambili zamatshe njengesisekelo salo, okwakubhalwe kuzo amagama ayishumi nambili abaphostoli abayishumi nambili beWundlu. (IsAm 21:14)
“Kungenzeka kanjani lokho,” ngiqhubeka, “uma uJudas ukubhejwa UJesu wabe esezibulala? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uJudas abe yitshe lesisekelo? ”
“Hm… cha.”
“Uma uvula isahluko sokuqala sencwadi yeZenzo, uyabona ukuthi bakhetha uMathiya esikhundleni sikaJudas. Kodwa kungani? Kungani, lapho kunenqwaba yamaKrestu eqoqene ndawonye, bangazizwa yini ukuthi badinga ukuvala isikhala sikaJuda? Ngoba bebegcwalisa ihhovisi. ”
'Kwangathi omunye angathatha isikhundla sakhe.' (Imisebenti 1:20)
"Lapha, ubona ukuqala" kokulandelana kwabaPhostoli. " Kungakho namuhla sinopapa abangama-266. Abaningi babo sibazi ngamagama, kufaka phakathi cishe ngenkathi babusa. UJesu wathembisa ukuthi “amasango eHayidesi” ngeke alinqobe iSonto, futhi mngani wami, akukaze - yize sike saba nopapa abahle kabi nabakhohlakele ngezinye izikhathi. ”
“Bheka,” esho, “Ingqophamlando kimi ukuthi akusiwo amadoda, kodwa yiBhayibheli okuyiyona indinganiso yeqiniso.”
Ngathi: “Gee, akusikho lokho okushiwo yiBhayibheli. Ngicela ikhophi yenu? ” Unginikeze iCowboy Bible lapho ngiphendukele ku-1 Thimothewu 3:15:
… Indlu kaNkulunkulu […] iyisonto likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, insika nesisekelo seqiniso. (1 Thim.3: 15, NIV)
“Ake ngikubone lokho,” kusho yena. Ngamnika ibhayibheli lakhe, ngaqhubeka.
“Ngakho-ke yiSonto, hhayi iBhayibheli, lelo“ okuyisilinganiso ”sokunquma ukuthi yini eyiqiniso, nokuthi yini engekho. IBhayibheli kwaqhamuka eSontweni, hhayi ngenye indlela ezungeze. [5]“Uhlu lwezincwadi” noma izincwadi zeBhayibheli zazinqunywa ababhishobhi bamaKatolika emikhandlwini yaseCarthage (393, 397, 419 AD) noHippo (393 AD). isib. Inkinga Eyisisekelo Eqinisweni, lalingekho iBhayibheli emakhulwini amane eminyaka okuqala eSonto, futhi nangaleso sikhathi, lalingatholakali kalula kwaze kwaba amakhulu eminyaka kamuva ngomshini wokunyathelisa. Iphuzu yileli: ngenkathi uJesu ethuma abaPhostoli, akabanikanga isikhwama se-goodie esasinebha yegranola, amamephu, ithoshi, kanye nekhophi labo leBhayibheli. Uvele wathi:
Ngakho-ke hambani nenze izizwe zonke abafundi… nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. Bhekani, nginani njalo kuze kube sekupheleni kwezwe. (Math 28: 19-20)
Konke ababenakho kwakuyinkumbulo yalokho uJesu abatshela khona, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, isithembiso saKhe sokuthi uMoya oNgcwele "uzobaholela kulo lonke iqiniso." [6]isib. Johane 16:13 Ngakho-ke, indinganiso engaphumeleli yeqiniso kungaba abaPhostoli uqobo, nabalandela emva kwabo. Kungakho uJesu athi kwabayishumi nambili:
Onilalelayo uyangilalela nami. Lowo onilahlayo uyangilahla. Futhi lowo ongilahlayo wenqaba lowo ongithumileyo. (Luka 10:16)
“Ngokuqondene noPeter, uPapa wokuqala, indima yakhe kungaba uphawu olubonakalayo lobunye beSonto kanye nesiqinisekiso sokulalela iqiniso. Ngoba kuye uJesu wathi kathathu, "Yondla izimvu zami." [7]isib. Johane 15: 18-21 Ngingakutshela lokhu, ayikho imfundiso yeSonto LamaKatolika "eyasungulwa" ngesikhathi esithile phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. Yonke imfundiso eyodwa yeBandla isukela “ekubekweni kokukholwa” uJesu akushiya kubaPhostoli. Kuyisimangaliso kukodwa ukuthi iqiniso ligcinwe ngemuva kweminyaka engama-2000. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele kube njalo. Ngoba uma 'iqiniso lisikhulula', sazi kangcono ukuthi liyini iqiniso. Uma kuyindaba yokuthi ngamunye wethu ahumushe iBhayibheli, khona-ke, awu, unakho esikwenzayo namhlanje: amashumi ezinkulungwane zamahlelo athi lokho they ube neqiniso. ISonto LamaKhatholika limane nje lingubufakazi bokuthi uJesu wayeqonde akushoyo. UMoya umhole ngempela 'kulo lonke iqiniso'. Futhi lokhu kufakazelwa kalula namuhla. Le nto ibizwa ngeGoogle. ” [8]Kodwa-ke, ngincome ukuthi aye Catholic.com bese uthayipha imibuzo yakhe lapho ukuthola izimpendulo ezinhle kakhulu, ezifundisayo nezizwakalayo zokuthi kungani amaKhatholika akholelwa esikwenzayo kukho konke kusuka kuMariya kuye ePurgatory.
Ngalokho, sisukume saxhawulana. “Ngenkathi ngiphikisana nawe,” kusho lo mfana wezinkomo, “ngizoya ekhaya ngicabange ngeyoku-1 Thimothewu 3:15 nangesonto njengensika yeqiniso. Inohlonze impela…"
“Yebo kunjalo,” ngiphendula. “Yilokho okushiwo yiBhayibheli, akunjalo?”
Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoFebhuwari 22, 2017.
