Ekuhluphekeni kwakho,
nxa zonke lezizinto sezikwehlele.
ekugcineni uzobuyela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho,
futhi ulalele izwi Lakhe.
(Duteronomi 4: 30)

LAPHO iqiniso livela? Isuka kuphi imfundiso yeBandla? Iliphi igunya analo lokukhuluma ngokuqiniseka?

Ngibuza le mibuzo ngokwengqikithi “yeSinodi Sesinodi” esongwe ngokukhululeka eRoma ngesonto eledlule (“isinodi” umbuthano, ngokuvamile wababhishobhi; “isinodi” kuwuhlelo lokusebenzisana nokuqonda). UPapa uFrancis ufuna sibe “yiBandla leSynodal” elihamba “ngendlela yesinodi,” lize lifike “eqophelweni lokuhlukaniswa”^[1]qhathanisa hhayi. 134 yezikhundla kanye nokunye okuvela “kumaBandla endawo.”^[2]qhathanisa hhayi. 94 Kodwa-ke, uma kubhekwa ukuthi ama-27% ababambiqhaza besinodi kwakungebona ababhishobhi,^[3]qhathanisa ewtnvatican.com futhi abanye bengewona ngisho amaKhatholika... ubani ngempela leli Bandla leSinodi elilalelayo? Eqinisweni, i Idokhumenti yokugcina, egunyazwe uPapa Francis ukuba abe “umhlahlandlela” weBandla,^[4]qhathanisa v Vatican.va ikubeka ngokusobala ukuthi i-hierarchy…

…akumele indiva isiqondiso esivela ngokubona okufanele phakathi nenqubo yokubonisana, ikakhulukazi uma lokhu kwenziwa yizinhlangano ezibamba iqhaza. —N. 92, Idokhumenti yokusebenza yesinodi

Nalapha futhi, asikhulumi ngesigungu esijwayelekile sababhishobhi noma umkhandlu wamakholwa, kodwa manje izindikimba ezibamba iqhaza ezingase zihlanganise amalungu. ngaphandle weMagisterium, okudidayo ukusho okungenani. Njengoba uMbhishobhi Omkhulu u-Anthony Fisher waseSydney, e-Australia aphawula ngalesi sinodi:

“Ukulalelana ngokujulile, ukuzwakalisa imizwa, ukusabela emaqenjini etafula, ngeke kukusize ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi sithole okuyiqiniso nokulungile” …kuyilapho indlela yengxoxo inhle ekusizeni abantu ukuthi baqondane kangcono, “Ayikufanelanga kahle ukucabanga okucophelelayo noma okuyinkimbinkimbi noma okungokoqobo.” —Novemba 24, 2023, I-Catholic News Agency

Ngakho yini esisiza ukuba sithole “okuyiqiniso nokulungile”?

Izwi leNkosi

Impendulo yalowo mbuzo ibilokhu ikhona izwi leNkosi. Kusukela ekuqaleni, izwi Lakhe alivezanga iqiniso kuphela kodwa zonke izinto ekubeni:

Khona-ke uNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona ukukhanya, kwaba khona ukukhanya. ( Genesise 1:3 )

LeliPhimbo kwakungelona nje izwi, kodwa amandla uqobo:

Izwi likaJehova linamandla; izwi likaJehova liwubukhazikhazi. Izwi likaJehova liphahlaza imisedari… Izwi likaJehova lishaya ilangabi lomlilo; izwi likaJehova lizamazamisa ugwadule... (IHubo 29: 4-8)

Izwi Lakhe, iphimbo Lakhe, aliwona nje umsindo kodwa liwukukhanya okuphumela enkabeni yangaphakathi yomuntu:

Ngempela, izwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila futhi liyasebenza, libukhali kunanoma iyiphi inkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, lingena phakathi komphefumulo nomoya, amalunga nomnkantsha, futhi liyakwazi ukubona ukucabanga nemicabango yenhliziyo. (Hebheru 4: 12)

UNkulunkulu ubengakhuluma ngezindlela eziningi kumuntu, ikakhulukazi ngendalo ngokwayo.^[5]isib. Rom 1: 20 Kodwa umgudu omkhulu wephimbo Lakhe kwakuyoba okhokho nabaprofethi.

I-Theophanies (izibonakaliso zikaNkulunkulu) zikhanyisa indlela yesithembiso, kusukela kukhokho kuya kuMose futhi kusukela kuJoshuwa kuya emibonweni eyasungula izimishini zabaprofethi abakhulu. Isiko lobuKristu liye laqaphela njalo ukuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lavuma ukuba abonakale futhi azwakale kulezi zingelosi, lapho ifu likaMoya oNgcwele lamembula futhi lamfihla emthunzini walo. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 707

Ngabo, uNkulunkulu wayezobeka isisekelo salokho okucelwe kowesilisa nowesifazane ngokwabo, okuyiziqongo zendalo Yakhe:

Lalela izwi lami; khona ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu, lina libe ngabantu bami. Hambani ngayo impela indlela enginiyala ngayo, ukuze niphumelele. (UJeremiya 7: 23)

Umbandela wokuba abantu bakaNkulunkulu wawunjalo ngilalele izwi Lakhe...

Izwi Lamazwi

Ngesikhathi esimisiwe, leliPhimbo laba ukuba yinyama ngakho Wayengakwenza ngokoqobo kuzwakale.

Kwakuyini kwasekuqaleni,
esikuzwile,
esikubonile ngamehlo ethu,
esikubhekile
futhi wasithinta ngezandla zethu
iphathelene neZwi lokuphila—
ngokuba ukuphila kwabonakaliswa...
(I-1 John 1: 1)

Futhi kuthiwani ngalo Muntu?

... kwavela izwi efwini, lathi, “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo engithokozile ngayo; mlalele." (Math 17: 5)

UNkulunkulu waba senyameni kuJesu Kristu ukuze sizwe izwi Lakhe futhi simlandele:

…ziyolizwa izwi Lami, futhi kuyoba mhlambi munye, nomalusi munye. (UJohn 10: 16)  

Sihlala emhlambini waKhe ngokuzwa futhi okulandelayo Izwi lakhe:

OngokaNkulunkulu uyawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu... (UJohn 8: 47) Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. (UJohn 15: 10)

Ngakho-ke akwanele ukuzwa, kodwa futhi ukulalela:

“Akusibo bonke abashoyo kimi ukuthi: Nkosi, Nkosi, abayakungena embusweni wezulu, kuphela owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini. (Mathewu 7: 21)

Ongithandayo uyakugcina izwi lami, noBaba uyakumthanda, futhi siyakuza kuye, sihlale naye.” (UJohn 14: 23)

Amazwi Ezwi

Ngaphambi kokuba enyukele eZulwini, uJesu wanikeza izwi Lakhe kubaphostoli ngegunya, ethi:

Noma ubani lalela kuwe uyangilalela. Olahla nina uyangala mina; Futhi lowo ongalayo uyamala ongithumileyo... Ngakho hambani nenze izizwe zonke abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise, neleNdodana, nelikaMoya oNgcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyalele kona. wakuyala. ( Luka 10:16; Mathewu 28:19-20 )

Laba baPhostoli, ke, bakha “i-magisterium” noma igunya lokufundisa likaJesu Kristu. Umsebenzi wabo kwakuwukusabalalisa konke uJesu akufundisa futhi wadlulisela kubo, ngaphandle kokuphambuka:

… Le Magisterium ayiphakeme kuneZwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa iyinceku yayo. Ifundisa kuphela lokho okunikezwe kukho. Ngokuyalelwa nguNkulunkulu nangosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, uyakulalela lokhu ngokuzinikela, akuvikele ngokuzinikela futhi akuchaze ngokwethembeka. Konke lokho okuphakamisela ukuthi inkolelo ivezwe ngokwaphezulu kudonswe kule diphozi elilodwa lokholo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 86

Uma kwenzeka kunokungabaza ukuthi yilokhu iBandla Lokuqala elalikuqonda, ubufakazi babo busobala:

Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, yimani niqinile futhi nibambelele emasikweni enanifundiswa wona, kungaba ngamazwi ashiwo ngomlomo noma ngencwadi yethu. (St. Pawuli, 2 Thesalonika 2:15)

[Ngi]fanele ukulalela abaphathi abasebandleni—labo, njengoba ngibonisile, banesikhundla sabaphostoli; labo abathi, kanye nokulandelana kobubhishopi, bamukele ukuphana kweqiniso okungenakuphutha, njengokufisa okuhle kukaBaba. —USt. U-Irenaeus waseLyons (189 AD), Ngokumelene namaHlubies, 4:33:8)

Masiqaphele ukuthi lona kanye usiko, imfundiso, nokholo lweSonto lamaKhatholika kusukela ekuqaleni, iNkosi eyalunikeza, kwakushunyayelwa ngabaPhostoli, futhi kwalondolozwa ngoFata. ISonto lasungulwa phezu kwalokhu; futhi uma noma ubani eshiya kulokhu, akusafanele futhi abizwe ngokuthi ungumKristu… -St. U-Athanasius (360 AD), Izincwadi Ezine eziya kuSerapion zikaThmius 1, 28

Izwi Lombono

Ngakho-ke, iminyaka eyizi-2000, iBandla beliqikelela ukuthi lihlunga amazwi emibono, ukuphikisa, nokuhlubuka eZwini likaKristu. Lapho kuziwa emibuzweni emisha ngemfundiso, uSt. Vincent waseLerins weluleka ukuba kubuyele oFata BeSonto Lokuqala, ukuxhumana kwabo okuqondile nabaPhostoli kwaqinisa ngokwengeziwe izisekelo zeBandla LikaKristu:

Uma kungase kuphakame umbuzo omusha okungazange kwenziwe isinqumo ngawo, kufanele balandele imibono yoBaba abangcwele, yalabo okungenani, labo, yilowo nalowo ngesikhathi sakhe kanye nendawo yakhe, abahlala ebunyeni besidlo. nasokholweni samukelwa njengamakhosi avunyiweyo; futhi noma yini lezi okungase kutholakale ukuthi bezibambe, ngamqondo munye nangemvume eyodwa, lokhu kufanele kuthathwe njengemfundiso yeBandla eyiqiniso neKatolika, ngaphandle kokungabaza noma ukungabaza. -Commonitory of 434 AD, "For the Antiquity and Universality of the Catholic Faith Against the Novelties Profane of All Heresies", Ch. 29, n. 77

…okusiletha esikhathini samanje. Ama-synodi awayona into entsha. Okubonakala kuyinoveli ukubaluleka okubekwa emibonweni nasezikhundleni zamakholwa ngenxa “yokuphelezela.” Nakuba iBandla kufanele ngempela lilandele isibonelo seNkosi yalo sokulalela kanye ububele nokukhathalela bonke ababeza kuye, kusobala ukuthi wayehamba nabo ukuze abafundise futhi abaqondise. njengomalusi: "Iqiniso liyokukhulula."^[6]isib. Johane 8:32 Wayelindele ukuba abaPhostoli benze okufanayo, kusukela kuPetru.

UJesu wathi kuye: “Yipha izimvu zami.” (UJohn 21: 17)

Yebo, uPapa kufanele alalele umhlambi ukuze azi kangcono Kanjani ukuzondla; kodwa leyo ndima ayinakuthathelwa indawo izimvu zokondla ezinye izimvu (ngaphandle kwesibaya). Uma kungenjalo...

Uma impumputhe ihola impumputhe, ziyakuyela emgodini zombili. (Mathewu 15: 14)

John Henry Newman wakubeka ngalendlela:

Umbono wanoma yimuphi umuntu oyedwa, ngisho noma ebefaneleka kakhulu ukuba munye, ubungeke ube negunya, noma ufanelekele ukuvezwa wona ngokwawo; kanti ukwahlulela nemibono yeBandla lokuqala ithi futhi iheha ukuhlonishwa kwethu ngokukhethekile, ngoba ngalokho esikwaziyo kungenzeka ukuthi ngokwengxenye kuthathwe emasikweni abaPhostoli, futhi ngenxa yokuthi abekwa phambili ngokungaguquguquki nangokuvumelana kakhulu kunanoma yimuphi omunye. isethi yothisha. —Izintshumayelo Zokumelana Nomphikukristu, Intshumayelo II, “1 Johane 4: 3”

Ezikhathini ezedlule, kwakuphakathi kwesiphithiphithi, ukuhlubuka, kanye nokudideka lapho iBandla lasebenza njengezwi lesiprofetho eliqinisekisa amaqiniso angapheli “ediphozithi yokholo.” Kodwa ngokoMqulu Wamuva Wokugcina WeSinodi, izwi lesiprofetho leSonto LamaSinodi liba “umnikelo” nje ekufuneni iqiniso:

Ngale ndlela, singanikela ngeqhaza elihlukile ekufuneni izimpendulo ezinseleleni eziningi imiphakathi yethu yamanje ebhekene nayo ekwakheni okuhle komphakathi. —N. 47; idokhumenti yokusebenza

Kodwa empeleni, lokhu kuyikho okokugcina into edingwa umhlaba, kusho uBenedict XVI:

Izinkolelo nemikhuba eyisisekelo yobuKrestu kwesinye isikhathi iyashintshwa emiphakathini ngalokho okubizwa “ngezenzo zokuprofetha” ezincike ku-hermeneutic [indlela yokuhumusha] engavumelani ngaso sonke isikhathi nedatha yemibhalo namasiko. Imiphakathi ngenxa yalokho iyeka umzamo wokuba ngumzimba obumbene, ikhethe ukusebenza ngokomqondo "wezinketho zasendaweni". Kokunye kule nqubo isidingo… sokuhlangana neBandla kuyo yonke inkathi silahlekile, ngesikhathi lapho umhlaba ulahlekelwa ukubekezelela kwawo futhi udinga ubufakazi obufanayo obukholisayo emandleni okusindisa eVangeli. (cf Rom 1: 18-23). —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iSonto LaseSt. Joseph, eNew York, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2008

Linye kuphela iZwi elibalulekile— eloMalusi oyedwa omisiwe ukuba ahole umhlambi waKhe—uJesu Kristu. Wonke amanye amazwi okufanele alalelwe, okungenani, ayi-echo yaleli Zwi elikhona “indlela neqiniso nokuphila.”

Akekho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze ngami. (UJohn 14: 6)
