Ukholo lobuKristu kunye namalungelo oluntu
Funda indlela ukholo lobuKristu oluwaphucule ngayo amalungelo oluntu neemeko zabantu
Anazi na, ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo? Musani ukukhohliswa ...
- (2 Tim 2:19) 19 Noko ke limi, lithe nkqi, ilitye lesiseko likaThixo, linambhalo othi, INkosi iyabazi abangabayo; Kwaye, Mabahlukane nobugwenxa, bonke abalibizayo igama likaKristu .
- ( Mat 22:35-40 ) Ke kaloku omnye wabo, umqondisi-mthetho, wambuza umbuzo, emlinga, esithi, 36 Mfundisi, owona myalelo mkhulu emthethweni nguwuphi na? 37 Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela. 38 Nguwo lowo owokuqala nomkhulu umthetho. 39 Owesibini ke ufana nawo uthi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako . 40 Kule mithetho yomibini kuxhomekeke umyalelo uphela nabaprofeti.
- (Mat 7:12) Zonke izinto ngoko enisukuba ninga bangazenza abantu kuni, yenzani ezikwanjalo nani kubo; kuba oko kungumthetho nabaprofeti.
Enye yeembono kwiNtshona yanamhlanje kukuba ukulahla uThixo kunye nokholo lobuKristu kuthetha ukukhula kokuziphatha nenkcubeko. Ukuxabisa abantu abakhululekileyo kunye nabantu abatyekele kwimbono yehlabathi yendalo basenokucinga ukuba ihlabathi liya kuba bhetele kakhulu njengoko ubani elahla uThixo. Ikhokelela kwinkululeko, kwimpucuko, kwibutho labantu elinobulungisa, nakwindawo apho isizathu sixatyiswa. Ubuncinane yindlela abacinga ngayo abantu abaninzi abangayifuniyo inkolo yobuKristu. Abaninzi basenokuvelisa izinto ezimbi ezenziwa egameni lobuKristu noThixo bengaqondi ukuba zingumphumo wokuwexuka kuThixo okanye ukuba iimfundiso zikaYesu nezabapostile azizange zilandelwe. Azibangelwa kukuba iimfundiso zikaYesu nezabapostile ziye zalandelwa, kodwa ngenxa yokuba zingalandelwa. Lo mahluko ubalulekileyo awuqondwa ngabagxeki abaninzi benkolo yobuKristu. Kodwa njani? Ngaba inkolo yobuKristu ibe nefuthe elihle okanye elibi kumalungelo oluntu kunye nesidima somntu? Oku sijongana nemizekelo embalwa, efana newonga labasetyhini, ukufunda nokubhala, ukuzalwa kolwimi loncwadi, nokusekwa kwezikolo nezibhedlele. Abonisa indlela ukholo lwamaKristu oluye lwaba nempembelelo entle ngayo kwiinkalo ezininzi. Loo mazwe apho inkolo yobuKristu idlale indima ebalulekileyo ikwangamazwe apho abantu bakhetha ukufudukela khona. Kuzo, amalungelo abantu kunye neemeko zoqoqosho ngokubanzi bezingcono kunezinye iindawo.
Ngaba ukholo lobuKristu luye lwalwenza buthathaka okanye lwasiphucula isikhundla samabhinqa? Okokuqala, kuhle ukunikel’ ingqalelo kwisimo samabhinqa, njengoko abanye beye baphikisana ngempembelelo eyingozi yobuKristu kubume bamabhinqa. Baye baluhlasela ukholo lobuKristu, besithi lolobusolusapho yaye lwenza buthathaka isikhundla sabafazi. Esi sityholo senziwe ngokukodwa ngamalungu ombutho wabasetyhini kunye nabanye abaye bamkela ukucinga okufanayo. Aba bantu bacinga ukuba ubume bomfazi buxhomekeke ekubeni enze kanye ngendlela efanayo nendoda (umzekelo, ububingeleli obubhinqileyo) hayi ekuzifanelekeleni kwakhe ingakumbi ngoKristu. Kule mbono, ixabiso lomfazi lilinganiswa kuphela ngokufana kwakhe nendoda kungekhona ngokuzazi ukuba ungumfazi yedwa. Noko ke, kuyangqubana nokokuba la malungu manye entlangano yokulwela amabhinqa athi amele amabhinqa anyanzelisa ngamandla ukuqhomfa, nto leyo ekukugatywa kokwenene kobufazi. Ubufazi bokwenene abuquki ukubulala umntwana ngaphakathi okanye ngaphandle kwesibeleko sikanina. Kunoko, ulwalamano olusondeleyo phakathi kukamama nabantwana nokunyamekela abantwana bubufazi obusempilweni. Iinkokeli zangoku zombutho wabasetyhini zilibele ngayo. Enye ingxaki eye yalandela ebudeni bomsebenzi oqatha wentlangano yamabhinqa kukwanda koomama abangenamaqabane omtshato. Nako oku, kuye kwaxhaphaka ngakumbi kwesi sizukulwana sikhoyo, xa imigaqo yobuKristu nokuhlala kuhleli komtshato kuye kwatyeshelwa. Abasetyhini abaninzi baphantsi komthwalo omkhulu kunokuba babekho ngaphambi kwexesha lentshukumo yangoku yabasetyhini. Ayikhange ithomalale, kodwa yenza imeko yabo yambi ngakumbi.
Umdlali kunye nomlobi u -Eppu Nuotio kunye nomphandi uTommi Hoikkalaxoxa ngokubhideka malunga nobudlelwane phakathi kwendoda nomfazi. U-Hoikkala uyazibuza ukuba kutheni intsapho yenyukliya yaqala ukuqhekeka xa abafazi befumana amalungelo amaninzi. Ukholelwa ukuba iFinland kungekudala iya kujongana nemeko efanayo neSweden sele ijongene nayo: ifom yentsapho eqhelekileyo ngumama ongatshatanga kunye nomntwana wakhe omnye. Abafazi babefuna ukukhululeka kwimeko apho babengenankululeko yokuzikhethela yaye baphelela kwimeko apho bangenayo inkululeko yokuzikhethela. (...) Amabhinqa amaninzi adinwa ngenxa yemisebenzi yawo yasekhaya, ukufunda nomsebenzi wexeshana. UHoikkala unoluvo lokuba ezi ngxaki kubudlelwane zibangelwa kukuba amadoda akakwazi ukuthwala abafazi abaphumeleleyo. Njengoko unyamezelo lwabantu luyancipha, umqobo wabo wokuqhawula umtshato nawo uyancipha. Ngoku iFinland inesithethe sokuqhawula umtshato. (1)
Kuthekani ngembali nesimo samabhinqa? Abaninzi bahlasela inkolo yobuKristu kanye kuba besithi iyenze buthathaka imeko yabasetyhini. Nangona kunjalo, le ngxoxo ayimelani nokuqwalaselwa kwembali. Kuba, xa kuthelekiswa nabafazi kwimibutho yamaGrike neyamaRoma, isikhundla sabafazi abangamaKristu sasilunge ngakumbi. Omnye umzekelo wehlabathi lamandulo kukushiywa kwabantwana abangamantombazana. KuBukhosi baseRoma, kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukwenza ucwangciso-ntsapho ngokulahla abantwana abasandul’ ukuzalwa. Yayilikamva lamantombazana ngokukodwa. Ngenxa yoko, ubungakanani bobudlelwane bamadoda nabasetyhini bugqwethiwe, kwaye kuqikelelwa ukuba kwakukho malunga nekhulu elinamashumi amathathu amadoda kwikhulu labasetyhini kuluntu lwaseRoma. Nangona kunjalo, ukholo lobuKristu lwayitshintsha imeko yaza yaphucula isikhundla sabafazi mandulo. Xa amaKristu akwalela ukuqhomfa nokubulawa kweentsana, oko kwachaphazela ukusinda kwamantombazana. Amantombazana ayenyanyekelwa kanye njengamakhwenkwe. Oku kwenza ubungakanani bobudlelwane bamadoda nabasetyhini ngakumbi. Omnye umzekelo ngowemitshato yabantwana nemitshato elungiselelwa besebancinane. Kuluntu lwamandulo, kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukunyanzela amantombazana ukuba atshate ngoxa esekwishumi elivisayo okanye nangaphambi koko. UCassius Dio ongumGrike, owabhala imbali yamaRoma, wathi intombazana ikulungele ukutshata kwasekuqaleni nje xa ineminyaka eli-12 ubudala: “Intombazana etshata ngaphambi kokugqiba iminyaka eli-12 iba liqabane elisemthethweni ngomhla wokuzalwa kwayo kwe -12 .” Ukholo lobuKristu lwaba nefuthe ngendlela evumela abafazi ukuba batshate kamva kwaye bazikhethele iqabane labo. Umzekelo wethu wesithathu uphathelele abahlolokazi abangamabhinqa, ababekwimeko embi kwihlabathi lamandulo (njengakwiIndiya yanamhlanje, apho abahlolokazi abangamabhinqa bade batshiswa bephila). Bamele elinye lawona maqela asesichengeni nalawo angathathi ntweni, kodwa ubuKristu baphucula ubomi babo nabo. Uluntu lubizwe ukuba lukhathalele abahlolokazi nanjengoko lugcina abantwana abangahoywanga. Oku kwachaphazela ukwanda kobuKristu kubukhosi baseRoma. IZenzo kunye neeNcwadi, umzekelo, zivelisa imeko yabahlolokazi (IZenzo 6: 1, 1 Tim 5: 3-16, Yakobi 1: 27) Okwesine, kukho imfundiso kwiTestamente Entsha yamadoda afanele abathande abafazi bawo, kanye njengokuba uKristu walithandayo ibandla. Ukuba nantsi into embi ngakubafazi, iifeminist zangoku kufuneka zisixelele ukuba yintoni engalunganga ngayo. Ngaba uthando lwendoda ngakumfazi wayo ayilonto kanye ifunwa ngumntu wonke emtshatweni?
Madoda , bathandeni abafazi benu, njengokuba noKristu walithandayo ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo. 28 Ngoko amelwe amadoda ukubathanda abawo abafazi, njengokuba beyimizimba yawo. Lowo umthandayo umkakhe, uyazithanda;
Okwesihlanu, imele ikhunjulwe into yokuba inani labafazi phakathi kwabalandeli bakaYesu belisoloko likhulu. Oku kwakunjalo ngenkulungwane yokuqala nasemva koko. Ukuba ukholo lobuKristu belungazange luziphucule ubomi babo, kwakutheni ukuze kwenzeke oko? Kwakutheni ukuze babe nomdla kule nto ukuba babesazi ukuba ukholo lobuKristu luloyisa umfazi? Inyaniso kukuba, ngokuqhelekileyo yabuphucula ubomi babo. Ukongezelela, inyaniso kukuba abafazi baye badlala indima enkulu kwiintshukumo ezininzi zemvuselelo yamaKristu. Umzekelo omhle ngowomzekelo imvuselelo yePentekoste kunye neSalvation Army. Abasetyhini badlale indima ebalulekileyo kwaye basasaza ivangeli kwiindawo apho amadoda angenako ngokwaneleyo.
Unjingalwazi wentlalontle nezifundo zonqulo, uRodney Stark, ubhale incwadi ethetha ngokukhula nempumelelo yobuKristu, waphinda wahlalutya intsingiselo yamabhinqa ekusasazeni ubuKristu. Ngokutsho kukaStark, imeko yabafazi abangamaKristu yayintle ukususela kumanqanaba okuqala obuKristu. Babenewonga nenkuselo ephakame ngakumbi kunoodade wabo baseRoma, ababekwisikhundla esiphakame ngokuphawulekayo kunesabafazi bamaGrike. Ukuqhomfa kunye nokubulawa kweentsana ezisanda kuzalwa kwakungavumelekanga kwiindawo zokuhlala zamaKrestu - zombini zazithintelwe ngokungqongqo. Ngenxa yoko, ubuKristu babuthandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabafazi, (Chadwick 1967; Brown, 1988) yaye basasazeka, ingakumbi ngabafazi abadumileyo kubayeni babo.(2)
Ngapha koko, kububudenge ukukhanyela, oko kwanabahedeni abachasi bobuKristu bakuvumayo ngokuphandle: ukuba olu nqulo lutsha lwatsala amanani angaqhelekanga amabhinqa nokuba abafazi abaninzi bathuthuzelwa ziimfundiso zebandla ezingazange zikwazi ukunikelwa ziinkonzo zakudala. Njengoko sele ndikhankanyile, uKelsos wacinga ngenani elikhulu labafazi phakathi kwamaKristu njengobungqina bokungabi nangqiqo kunye nemvelo engcolileyo yobuKristu. UJulius wawagxeka amadoda ase-Antiokia kwisibhalo sakhe esithi Misopogon ngokuvumela abafazi bawo bachithe impahla yabo “kumaGalili” namahlwempu, nto leyo ngelishwa yaphumela ekubeni “akukho thixo” wamaKristu azuze ukunconywa luluntu. Kwaye nangokunjalo. Ubungqina obuphathelele ubuKristu bokuqala abuwashiyi ngokuthe ngqo indawo amathandabuzo okuba lunqulo, ethe yatsala kakhulu abasetyhini kwaye ngengazange isasazeke ngokubanzi kwaye hayi ngokukhawuleza ukuba ibingenabafazi abaninzi. (3)
Kuthekani ngobubingeleli basetyhini kunye nesimo sengqondo esibi ngakubo? AmaKristu amaninzi ayaqonda ngokusuka eBhayibhileni ukuba lo mbandela ngowabantu kuphela (1 Tim. 3: 1-7; Tito 1: 5-9). Asingombandela wokuba amabhinqa agqalwe njengabaphantsi kodwa ngamadoda namabhinqa aneendima ezahlukeneyo. Kwakhona kubalulekile ukuphawula indlela uYesu awayesebenza ngayo. Ngokuqhelekileyo abantu bacinga ukuba uYesu ulungile, yaye ngenene wayelungile. Wayenabalandeli abangamadoda nabafazi ngokufanayo. Noko ke, into ebalulekileyo efunyanisiweyo kukuba uYesu wakhetha amadoda kuphela njengabapostile (Mat. 10:1-4), kungekhona amabhinqa. UYesu akazange alandele umzekelo wabalandeli bobufazi bale mihla apha, nangona ngokuqinisekileyo wayebathanda bonke abantu, kungakhathaliseki ukuba sisiphi na isini. Ngoko kutheni unikela ingqalelo kumzekelo owamiselwa nguYesu? Esona sizathu sikukuba uYesu wayengengomntu nje kuphela kodwa wayenguThixo onekomkhulu G. WayenguThixo owadala zonke izinto nowayevela ezulwini (Yohane 1:1-3,14). UYesu wathi kubo: “ Nina ningabangaphantsi, mna ndingowaphezulu, nina ningabehlabathi, mna andingoweli hlabathi. 24 Ndatsho ngoko kuni ukuthi, Niya kufela ezonweni zenu; ukuba anikholwa ukuba ndinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu. ( Yohane 8:23, 24 ). Ngoko ukuba uYesu unguThixo owamisela umzekelo kubapostile bokuqala, asifanele siwubethe ngoyaba lo mbandela ngokuwukhaba ngamagxa size sithi awunantsingiselo. Abo bathetha ngokungalingani kulo mbandela namhlanje babonakala begatya nezinye iimfundiso ezaveliswa nguYesu. Abaninzi kubo abakholelwa kwisihogo okanye kuzo naziphi na ezinye izinto ezisisiseko zeBhayibhile ezafundiswa nguYesu. Babanga ukuba bangamaxoki kwaye bacinga ukuba balumke kunoYesu. Ngaba ayisosimo sengqondo sekratshi esi? Umntu unokumbuza umntu onjalo ukuba kutheni ulilungu lewadi okanye icawe ukuba awukholelwa kwaukukholelwa kwizinto ezisisiseko uYesu azifundisayo? Abantu abanjalo bangababingeleli bezonka kwanabanye “abakhokeli abaziimfama” abafanayo nanjengoko kwakukho ngexesha likaYesu. into eyayikho ngexesha likaYesu. Kwelinye icala, ukuba uluhlobo lomntu ongavumelaniyo nalo mbandela, musa ukubugatya ubomi obungunaphakade ngenxa yawo! UThixo ukubizela ebukumkanini baKhe obungunaphakade, ngoko musa ukulugatya olu bizo ngenxa yento enjalo!
Ubume babantwana.
Uze ungambulali umntwana ngokuqhomfa, ungaphindi umbulale xa athe wazalwa (Epistle of Barnabas, 19, 5)
Uze ungabulali ngokukhupha isisu isiqhamo sesibeleko kwaye awuyi kubulala usana olusele luzelwe (Tertullian, Apologeticum,9,8:PL 1, 371-372)
Okwesibini, ubuKristu bawaphucula amalungelo oluntu abantwana. Ngaphezulu, sibonise indlela ukulahlwa kweentsana ezisandul’ ukuzalwa ezingafunwayo kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo kuluntu lwamandulo. Kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo kuzo zonke iindidi zasekuhlaleni, yaye uqheliselo oluqhelekileyo yayikukuvumela uyise wentsapho enze isigqibo ebudeni beveki yokuqala yobomi bosana olusandul’ ukuzalwa enoba luya kuvunyelwa luphile kusini na. Ukuba umntwana wayeyintombazana, enesiphene, okanye engafunwa, wayedla ngokulahlwa. Abanye abantwana abalahliweyo maxa wambi kamva bakhuliswa ukuba babe ngoonongogo, amakhoboka, okanye abangqibi, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba basengozini. UbuKristu buphucule imeko yabantwana. Ngenxa yoko, abantu baqalisa ukuwuyeka umkhwa wabo wokulahla, yaye abantwana bajongwa njengabantu abanobuntu obupheleleyo namalungelo oluntu apheleleyo. Abantwana abalahliweyo baqokelelwa ezitratweni baza banikwa ithuba elitsha ebomini. Ekugqibeleni, umthetho watshintshwa ngokunjalo: ngo-374, ngexesha lomlawuli u-Valentinian, ukulahlwa kwabantwana kwaba lulwaphulo-mthetho.
Ubukhoboka. Xa inkolo yobuKristu iphucula isikhundla sabafazi nabantwana, yaphucula nesikhundla samakhoboka kwaye ekugqibeleni yaba negalelo ekubhaduleni kweli ziko. KuBukhosi baseRoma, ubukhoboka babuxhaphakile kwaye nakwizixeko zaseGrisi, i-15-30 pesenti yamalungu oluntu yayingamakhoboka ngaphandle kwamalungelo oluntu, kodwa ukholo lobuKristu lwazisa utshintsho kwimeko. Abaninzi namhlanje bayawagxeka amaXesha Aphakathi bewabiza ngokuba ngamaXesha Obumnyama, kodwa kwakungelo xesha apho ubukhoboka bathi shwaka eYurophu, ngaphandle nje kwemimandla embalwa esecaleni. Kuthekani ngobukhoboka bexesha elitsha? Kumaxesha anamhlanje, kukho intetho ehlonelwayo ngexesha loKhanya, kodwa xa ubukhoboka buqala kwakhona, eli ziko lalilelona likhulu kanye ngexesha lokuKhanya. Yayilixesha lobumnyama kumaqela aliqela abantu. Noko ke, abameli bobuKristu bemvuselelo, njengamaQuaker namaWesile, baba negalelo ekuvalweni kobukhoboka eNgilani nakwamanye amazwe. Iphucule amalungelo oluntu:
Ubukhoboka baqhubeka bukhona kwaye banda kakhulu kulo lonke ixesha lokuKhanya ngexesha lamashumi amane okugqibela enkulungwane ye- 18 . Kuphela ekupheleni kwenkulungwane amatyala okuqala enziwa ukuphelisa ubukhoboka kwiikholoni ezinkulu. Intshukumo yokubhangisa yaqala eNgilani, eyathi yaqhutywa ngamahlelo amabini angamaKristu, amaQuaker namaWesile. Ngokwezibhengezo nezigwebo zabo, ubukhoboka babugqalwa njengesono ngakumbi kunokunyhashwa kwamalungelo abantu. (4)
Idemokhrasi kunye nokuzinza koluntu
- ( 1 Tim 2:1,2 ) Ndiyavuselela ngoko kuqala kwiinto zonke, ukuba kwenziwe izikhungo, imithandazo, izibongozo, imibulelo, ngenxa yabantu bonke; 2 Ngenxa yookumkani, nabo bonke abasekongameni; ukuze sihlale ngokonwaba nangokuzola, sinokuhlonela uThixo, nokundileka konke.
Incwadi yokuqala eya kuTimoti isibongoza ukuba sithandazele abasemagunyeni ukuze baphile ngoxolo. Kulunge ngakumbi kunokuba kubekho isiphithiphithi kwibutho labantu, ulawulo lobuzwilakhe olungasikelwanga mda, okanye imvukelo eqhubekayo nxamnye nabalawuli. Kungcono kuphuhliso lwezoqoqosho kunye nolunye uphuhliso iinkokeli ezizamela okulungileyo. Abanye abaphengululi baye bathi ngumsebenzi wobuvangeli bamaKristu oye waba nendima entle ekuphuhliseni idemokhrasi nokuzinza kwebutho labantu. Oku kuye kwabonwa kumazwe aseAfrika naseAsia. Apho bekukho umsebenzi okhutheleyo wobuvangeli basemazweni, imeko namhlanje ilunge ngakumbi kunemimandla apho impembelelo yabavangeli basemazweni ibincinane okanye ingekhoyo. Igqabaza kwimiba efana neyokuba uqoqosho kwimimandla yobuthunywa luphuhliswe ngakumbi namhlanje, imeko yezempilo ibhetele noko, ukufa kwabantwana kuphantsi, urhwaphilizo lusezantsi, ukufunda nokubhala kuxhaphake kakhulu kwaye ukufikelela kwimfundo kulula kunoko. kwezinye iindawo. EYurophu nakuMntla Merika, kuye kwenzeka okufanayo kwixesha elidluleyo, yaye ukholo lobuKristu ngokuqinisekileyo luye lwaba nempembelelo nakuloo nto.
Isazinzulu: Umsebenzi wobuvangeli waseka idemokhrasi
NgokukaRobert Woodberry, usekela-njingalwazi kwiYunivesithi yaseTexas, ifuthe lomsebenzi wobuvangeli bamaProtestanti ngeminyaka yoo-1800 nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-1900 ekuphuhliseni idemokhrasi iye yabaluleke kakhulu kunokuba bekucingwa ekuqaleni. Kunokuba babe nendima encinane kuphuhliso lwedemokhrasi, abavangeli basemazweni baba nenxaxheba enkulu kuyo kumazwe amaninzi aseAfrika naseAsia. Iphephancwadi iChristianity Today lisixelela ngalo mbandela. URobert Woodberry uye wafunda ubudlelwane phakathi komsebenzi wobuvangeli basemazweni kunye nezinto ezichaphazela idemokhrasi phantse iminyaka eli-15. Ngokutsho kwakhe, apho abavangeli bamaProtestanti baye banempembelelo enkulu. Apho namhlanje imeko yezoqoqosho iphucuke ngakumbi yaye imeko yezempilo iphucuke ngakumbi kunemimandla, apho impembelelo yabavangeli basemazweni ibincinane okanye ingekhoyo. Kwiindawo ezinembali yobufundisi exhaphakileyo, izinga lokufa kwabantwana ngoku lisezantsi, urhwaphilizo luncinci, ukufunda nokubhala kuxhaphake kakhulu kwaye kulula ukungena kwimfundo, ngakumbi kwabasetyhini. Ngokutsho kukaRobert Woodberry, yayingamaKristu okuvuselela amaProtestanti awayenempembelelo entle. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, abefundisi abaqeshwe ngurhulumente okanye abavangeli bamaKatolika ngaphambi kweminyaka yee-1960 abazange babe nempembelelo efanayo. Abavangeli bamaProtestanti babekhululekile kurhulumente. “Enye imbono engundoqo kumsebenzi wobuvangeli basemazweni kukuba unxulumene nobukoloniyali. - - Nangona kunjalo, abasebenzi bamaProtestanti, ababengaxhaswanga ngemali ngurhulumente, bahlala besabela ngokukrakra kwi-colonialism ", utsho uWoodberry kwiChristianity Today. Umsebenzi wexesha elide weWoodberry ufumene indumiso. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, unjingalwazi wophando uPhilip Jenkins weYunivesithi yaseBaylor uye waphawula oku kulandelayo ngophando lukaWoodberry: “Ndazama ngokwenene ukufumana izikhewu, kodwa le ngcamango isabambelele. Inempembelelo enkulu kuphando olwenziwa ehlabathini lonke ngobuKristu.” Ngokutsho kwephephancwadi iChristianity Today ngaphezu kwezifundo ezilishumi eziye zomeleza izinto ezifunyenwe nguWoodberry.

Ulwaphulo-mthetho nobungakanani bayo
- ( Mat 22:35-40 ) Ke kaloku omnye wabo, umqondisi-mthetho, wambuza umbuzo, emlinga, esithi, 36 Mfundisi, owona myalelo mkhulu emthethweni nguwuphi na? 37 Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela. 38 Nguwo lowo owokuqala nomkhulu umthetho. 39 Owesibini ke ufana nawo uthi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako . 40 Kule mithetho yomibini kuxhomekeke umyalelo uphela nabaprofeti .
- ( Luka 18:20,21 ) Uyayazi imiyalelo : musa ukukrexeza, musa ukubulala, musa ukuba, musa ukungqina ubuxoki, beka uyihlo nonyoko. 21 Uthe ke yena, Zonke ezo zinto ndazigcina kwasebuncinaneni bam.
- ( Rom 13:8,9 ) Musani ukuba natyala lanto mntwini, lingelilo elokuthandana; kuba omthandayo omnye uwuzalise umthetho. 9 Kuba oku ukuthi, Uze ungakrexezi, uze ungabulali, uze ungebi, uze ungangqini ubuxoki, uze ungakhanuki; Ukuba ke kukho wumbi umthetho, uqondwa ngokufutshane kweli lizwi lokuthi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako.
Inqanaba lolwaphulo-mthetho linempembelelo kumalungelo oluntu. Okukhona luncipha ulwaphulo-mthetho, kokukhona uluntu luzinza yaye kungabikho okungekho sikweni okwenziwa kwabanye. Lithini ifuthe lenkolo yobuKristu kulwaphulo-mthetho? Ukuba iyinyani, ifanele ibe negalelo kutshintsho oluhle emntwini kwaye inciphise ukungabi nabulungisa kwabanye. Abaninzi bakhalazela ububi bebutho labantu, kodwa iindaba ezilungileyo kunye nobizo lwenguquko (cf. Amazwi kaYesu, uLuka 13: 3: “… kodwa, ukuba sukuba ningaguquki, notshabalala kwangokunjalo nonke.) ngamandla alungileyo enguquko. Ukongezelela, ukulandela owona myalelo mkhulu wokuthanda ummelwane, uphelekwa yeminye imiyalelo, kuya kulunciphisa ulwaphulo-mthetho. Apho ummelwane ethandwa kwaye exatyiswa, akukho nto iphosakeleyo kuye. Impatho efanelekileyo yommelwane isisiseko sokunciphisa ulwaphulo-mthetho. Ngoko ukuba umntu uyachukunyiswa nguThixo, ufanele enze inguqulelo entle kuye. Abantu abadakumbileyo nabanoburhalarhume banokuba nesimo sengqondo esihle ngakumbi, ikhoboka liyakwazi ukuyeka ukusebenzisa iziyobisi kunye nobusela. Umntu ongcakazayo ufumana umdla ngaphandle kwemidlalo, okanye umnqolobi unokunqanda ubunqolobi. Ziinguqu ezinokuba nempembelelo entle kubomi babo nakwabanye. Umzekelo omncinane ubonisa indlela uThixo anokuguqula ngayo ubomi babantu abaninzi. Umzekelo ubonisa indlela amanani amakhulu abantu atshintshe ngayo ngaphakathi. Inkcazo ivela kwinkulungwane ye-19 kwaye ivela kwincwadi kaCharles G. Finney ethi Ihmeellisiä herätyksiä .
Ndixelele ukuba imeko yokuziphatha yatshintsha kakhulu ngenxa yolu mvuselelo. Isixeko sasisitsha, sichumile kwezoqoqosho kwaye sinomdla kodwa sizele sisono. Abemi babekrelekrele kakhulu kwaye benamabhongo kodwa njengoko imvuselelo yatyhutyha isixeko ngokuzisa izihlwele ezikhulu zabona bantu baphawulekayo, amadoda nabafazi, ukuba baguquke, kwenzeka utshintsho olumangalisayo malunga nocwangco, uxolo kunye nokuziphatha. Ndaba nentetho negqwetha kwiminyaka emininzi kamva. Waye waguqulwa kule mvuselelo kwaye wayengumtshutshisi jikelele kumatyala olwaphulo-mthetho. Ngenxa yale ofisi, amanani olwaphulo-mthetho wayeqhelene kakuhle naye. Wathi ngexesha lemvuselelo: “Ndiwahlolile amaxwebhu omthetho wolwaphulo-mthetho ndaza ndabona into eyothusayo: ngoxa isixeko sethu siye sakhula ngokuphindwe kathathu emva kwamaxesha okuvuselela, akuzange kubekho nesinye kwisithathu samatyala kunawo. zazingaphambili. Uvuselelo lwaba nempembelelo emangalisayo kuluntu lwethu. ”(…) (...) Zombini inkcaso kawonke-wonke kunye neyomntu ngokuthe ngcembe yaphela. ERochester ndandingazi nto ngayo. Usindiso lwaba notyelelo lwalo olukhulu, imvuselelo yayinamandla kakhulu kwaye yahamba ngokubanzi, kwaye abantu babenexesha lokuqhelana neziqu zabo kunye neziphumo zazo kangangokuba babesoyika ukuzichasa njengangaphambili. Nababingeleli babewaqonda ngakumbi, yaye abangendawo babeqinisekile ukuba ayezizenzo zikaThixo. Le ngcamango yabo yaba phantse ixhaphake, ngoko yayicace gca imeko yoguquko, ngoko ngokwenene yaguqulwa, "indalo entsha", yaba ngabaguqukileyo, ngoko ke utshintsho olucokisekileyo lwenzeka kumntu ngamnye kunye noluntu, kwaye ngoko ke yayisisigxina kwaye ayinakuphikiswa. isiqhamo.
Kuthekani ngeempazamo zecawa? Abantu abaninzi abangakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo basenokuthi ukholo lobuKristu aluzisi utshintsho olulungileyo, kwaye banokukhomba kumawaka okungekho sikweni okwenziwa egameni likaThixo, kwiinkulungwane. Ngenxa yoko, baqinisekile ukuba akukho Thixo. Bathi, “Ngaba akukho ngqiqweni ukukholelwa kuThixo xa okungekho sikweni kusenziwa egameni lakhe? Noko ke, aba bantu abayithatheli ngqalelo
• ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo: Anazi na, ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo? Musani ukulahlekiswa… (1 Korinte 6:9) • Ukuba uYesu akavumi ukubavuma abenzi bobubi: Ndandule ndibaxelele, ndithi, Andizanga ndinazi; mkani kum, nina nenza okuchasene nomthetho. ( Mateyu 7:23 ) • ukuba uYesu, uYohane uMbhaptizi nabapostile bavakalisa inguquko. UYesu wathi “kodwa, ukuba anithanga niguquke, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke” (Luka 13:3). • ukuba uYesu walumkisa ngokuthabatha ikrele waza wabongoza ukuba sithande iintshaba (Mat. 26:52, 5:43,44). • Abaninzi bakwatyeshela amazwi kaPawulos apho wayelumkisa ngeengcuka ezikhohlakeleyo ezaziya kuza emva kokumka kwakhe. La mazwi kaPawulos abonisa kakuhle ukukhula kwembali. Zichaza iinkulungwane nokungekho sikweni okuye kwenzeka egameni likaThixo. Akunakwenzeka ukukhanyela ukuba uPawulos wayengalunganga. Ukongezelela, uPawulos wabonisa ukuba izenzo zinokunikela ubungqina nxamnye nomntu. Naye ngokwakhe wayenokuthi kwabanye: “Bazalwana, yibani ngabalandeli bam kunye, nibaphawule abahamba ngokunjalo, njengokuba ninomfuziselo, thina aba ke.” , Fil 3:17 .
- ( IZenzo 20:29-31 ) Kuba mna ndiyakwazi oku, ukuba emva kokumka kwam kuya kungena phakathi kwenu iingcuka ezibawayo, zingawucongi umhlambi. 30 Nakuni ngokwenu kuya kuvela amadoda athetha izinto ezigwenxa, ukuba abarhole abafundi emva kwawo. 31 Kungoko ndithi, Phaphani, nikhumbule, ukuba iminyaka emithathu, ubusuku nemini, andiyekanga ukululeka bonke ngabanye, ndineenyembezi.
- (Tit 1:16) Bayavuma ukuba bayamazi uThixo; kanti ngayo imisebenzi bayamkhanyela, bengamasikizi, bengabangevayo, nakumsebenzi wonke olungileyo bengenakucikideka.
Imfundo nokufunda azinxulumananga ngokuthe ngqo namalungelo oluntu, kodwa amazwe ekulula ukufikelela kuwo kwimfundo nokufunda akholisa ukwenza inkqubela kumalungelo oluntu. Ngoko ukholo lobuKristu ludibana njani nalo mbandela? Abaninzi banendawo eyimfama apha. Abazi ukuba uninzi lweelwimi ezibhalwayo eYurophu nakwamanye amazwe – kwakunye nezikolo ezininzi neeyunivesithi – zazalwa ngenxa yempembelelo yokholo lobuKristu. Ngokomzekelo, apha eFinland, uMikael Agricola, uMhlaziyi waseFinland nongunozala woncwadi, washicilela incwadi yokuqala ka-ABC kwakunye neTestamente Entsha neenxalenye zezinye iincwadi zeBhayibhile. Abantu bafunda ukulesa kuzo. Kwamanye amazwe amaninzi ehlabathi laseNtshona, uphuhliso lwenzeka ngenkqubo efanayo:
UbuKristu badala impucuko yaseNtshona. Ukuba abalandeli bakaYesu babehleli njengehlelo lamaYuda elibuthathaka, abaninzi kuni ngebangazange bafunde ukulesa yaye abanye babeya kuyifunda imisongo ekhutshelweyo ngesandla. Ngaphandle kwemfundiso yezakwalizwi eyilwe nenkqubela phambili kunye nokulingana kokuziphatha, ihlabathi liphela ngoku belikwilizwe, apho imibutho engeyiyo eyaseYurophu yayimalunga nee-1800s: Ihlabathi elineengcali zeenkwenkwezi ezingenakubalwa kunye nee-alchemists, kodwa ngaphandle kwezazinzulu. Ilizwe elikhohlakeleyo elingenadyunivesithi, iibhanki, iifektri, imiboniso, iitshimini kunye neepiyano. Ihlabathi, apho uninzi lwabantwana lufa phambi kweminyaka emihlanu nalapho abafazi abaninzi babeza kufa ngenxa yokubeleka-ihlabathi eliya kuphila ngokwenene “KwiXesha Lobumnyama”. Ihlabathi lanamhlanje lavela kuphela kwimibutho yobuKristu. Hayi kummandla wamaSilamsi. Hayi eAsia. Hayi kuluntu "lwehlabathi" - njengoko into enjalo yayingekho. (6)
Kwaye izibhedlele azinxibelelananga ngokuthe ngqo namalungelo abantu, kodwa ziphucula umgangatho nempilo-ntle yabantu. Kule ndawo, ukholo lobuKristu luye lwadlala indima enkulu, njengoko izibhedlele ezininzi (kubandakanywa ne-Red Cross) zazalwa ngenxa yempembelelo yayo. Uthando oluvela kuThixo ngommelwane kunye nomnqweno wokunceda abantu kusemva kwezibhedlele ezininzi:
Ebudeni bamaXesha Aphakathi abantu, abangamalungu oMbutho kaSaint Benedict, babegcina izibhedlele ezingaphezu kwamawaka amabini kwiNtshona Yurophu kuphela. Inkulungwane ye -12 yayibaluleke ngokuphawulekayo kule nkalo, ngakumbi apho, apho uMyalelo we-Saint John wawusebenza khona. Ngokomzekelo, iSibhedlele esikhulu soMoya oyiNgcwele sasekwa ngowe-1145 eMontpellier, esathi ngokukhawuleza saba liziko lemfundo yezonyango neziko lezonyango laseMontpellier ebudeni bonyaka we-1221. Ukongezelela kunyango, ezi zibhedlele zazibonelela ngokutya kwabalambileyo nabalambileyo. ebenyamekela abahlolokazi neenkedama, enikela amalizo kwabasweleyo. (7)
Imizekelo embalwa evela eAfrika ibonisa ukubaluleka kokholo lobuKristu. Abaninzi bayawugxeka umsebenzi wobuvangeli basemazweni, kodwa uye wazisa utshintsho olukhulu nozinzo kuluntu lwaseAfrika. Ngenxa yoko, noqoqosho luye lwaqalisa ukukhula kwaye nemigangatho yokuphila yabantu iye yaphakama. Eyokuqala kuluvo lukaNelson Mandela. Le yokugqibela yabhalwa nguMatthew Parris, isazi sezobupolitika esaziwayo saseBritani, umbhali nentatheli yeThe Times, enomxholo othi “Njengomntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo, ngokwenene ndikholelwa ukuba iAfrika iyamdinga uThixo,” yaye phantsi komxholwana othi, “Abavangeli basemazweni, kungekhona izibonelelo, ngaba Isicombululo kweyona ngxaki inkulu yaseAfrika-ingqondo yabantu etyumkileyo.” UParris ufikelele kwesi sigqibo emva kokuhlala njengomntwana kumazwe ahlukeneyo aseAfrika nasemva kokuthatha uhambo olude kwilizwekazi lonke. Naye ngokwakhe akakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo, kodwa waphawula ukuba umsebenzi wobuvangeli basemazweni unemiphumo emihle. Umsebenzi nje wentlalontle okanye ukwabelana ngolwazi lobugcisa akunakwenzeka ukuba uphumelele, kodwa uya kushiya ilizwekazi kwindibaniselwano ekhohlakeleyo ye-Nike, igqirha, iselula, kunye nemela yasehlathini.
UMatthew Parris: Yandikhuthaza, ivuselela ukholo lwam oludodobalayo ekuphuhliseni ilizwe lokunceda abantu. Noko ke, ukuhamba eMalawi kwahlaziya nenye imbono, endiye ndazama ukuyiphelisa ubomi bam bonke, kodwa ngumbono endingazange ndikwazi ukuwuphepha ukususela ebuntwaneni bam eAfrika. Iyazibhidanisa iimbono zam, yala ngenkani ukuhambelana nembono yam yehlabathi, kwaye iye yabhida inkolelo yam ekhulayo yokuba akukho Thixo. Ngoku, njengomntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo, ndiqinisekile ngefuthe elikhulu lobuvangeli lobuKrestu obunalo e-Afrika-yahluke ngokupheleleyo kwimibutho yasekuhlaleni, iiprojekthi zikarhulumente, kunye neenzame zoncedo zamazwe ngamazwe. Oku akwanelanga. Imfundo nokufundisa zizodwa azonelanga. EAfrika, ubuKristu buzitshintsha iintliziyo zabantu. Izisa utshintsho lokomoya. Ukuzalwa ngokutsha kuyinyani. Utshintsho lulungile. …Ndingathi kulihlazo ukuba usindiso luyinxalenye yephakheji, kodwa omabini amaKrestu amhlophe namnyama asebenza eAfrika aphilisa abagulayo, afundisa abantu ukufunda nokubhala; kwaye kuphela ngoyena mntu ukhululekileyo onokuthi ajonge isibhedlele semishini okanye isikolo kwaye athi ihlabathi liya kuba ngcono ngaphandle kwayo ... Ukuthatha ukusasazwa kwevangeli lobuKristu ngaphandle kwe-equation yaseAfrika kunokushiya ilizwekazi ngenceba yokudibanisa okubi. : Nike, igqirha, iselula kunye nocelemba.
Impilo kunye nokuba sempilweni
- 1 ( Yohane 3:11 ) Kuba esi sisigidimi enasivayo kwasekuqalekeni, ukuba sithandane;
- ( 1 Petros 2:17 ) 17 Bekani bonke abantu . Thandani abazalwana. Yoyika uThixo. Beka ukumkani.
Impilo kunye nokuphila kakuhle yimiba ekufutshane namalungelo oluntu. Ingakumbi impilo-ntle yengqondo ixhomekeke kakhulu kwabanye abantu, oko kukuthi, indlela esisabela ngayo kwindlela abanye abaziphatha ngayo kuthi. Ngokuqhelekileyo, ukuba umntwana unemeko yokukhula exhasayo, abahlobo nabazali abanothando, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kukhula abe ngumntu omkhulu owamkelayo yena nabanye. Umphefumlo wakhe nengqondo yakhe ilungile kuba ebexatyiswe kwaye ethandwa. Kuyafana, kunjalo, nakubantu abadala. Nabo baphila kakuhle xa bemkelwa yaye bexatyiswa. Iyintoni impembelelo yokholo lobuKristu kwimpilo yengqondo? Kulo mmandla, sinikwe imiyalelo ecacileyo; kufuneka sibathande abamelwane bethu kwaye sihloniphe wonke umntu, njengoko umz. iivesi ezingaphambili zibonisa. Inesiseko esihle sempilo yengqondo kunye namalungelo oluntu. However, human well-being also depends on physical, not just mental, factors. If he lacks food, if he is in poor health, or does not receive treatment when he is ill, this reduces well-being. These things often do not happen in societies that do not respect the human rights of others. What is the Bible’s guidance when it comes to people in difficult life situations? There is a wealth of teaching and verses on this subject on the New Testament side. They appear in the teaching of both Jesus and the apostles. They urgue us to help for people who are poor, sick or in trouble. The only problem is that we are slow to implement them. Our faith is not always practical enough so that it extends to our neighbors:
- (Mark 14:7) 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you will you may do them good: but me you have not always.
- ( 1 Yohane 3:17, 18 ) Osukuba ke enayo impilo yeli hlabathi, aze ambone umzalwana wakhe eswele, azivalele iimfesane zakhe kuye, luthini na ukuhlala uthando lukaThixo ngaphakathi kwakhe? 18 Bantwanana bam, masingathandi ngazwi nangamlomo; kodwa ngezenzo nangenyaniso.
- ( Yakobi 2:15-17 ) Ukuba umzalwana okanye udade uhamba ze, eswele ukutya kwemihla ngemihla, 16 athi ke omnye wenu kubo, Hambani ninoxolo, yothani, hluthani; nibe ke ningabaniki izinto ezo ziwufaneleyo umzimba; inceda ntoni na? 17 Ngokunjalo nalo ukholo, ukuba luthi lungabi namisebenzi, lufile ngokukokwalo.
- (Tit 3:14) 14 Kwanabethu mabafunde ukuhlala besenza imisebenzi elungileyo, basebandleni, ukuze bangabi ngabangenasiqhamo.
Noko ke, abanye baye balandela iimfundiso zeBhayibhile zangaphambili. Ngenxa yoko, kuye kwavela imibutho yokunceda yamaKristu emininzi. Ngokomzekelo, uMbutho Womnqamlezo Obomvu wazalwa xa umKristu onobubele, uHenri Dunant, wabona imeko yabenzakeleyo edabini waza waqalisa ukuceba iindlela zokuyithomalalisa. UFlorence Nightingale, umKristu ozinikeleyo nowatshintsha indlela asebenza ngayo emkhosini nezonyango ngokubanzi, naye wayesebenza kwakuloo mmandla. Kwaziwa nguWilliam Booth, umseki woMkhosi wosindiso, kunye noEglantyne Jebb, umseki weSave the Children. Umbutho wokugqibela wavela xa uJebb wayesebenzela abantwana abalambileyo kuMbindi waseYurophu emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala. Omnye umzekelo wokuba luncedo kokholo nguJohn Wesley, owayengumshumayeli owaziwayo nonguyise wombutho wamaWisile ngenkulungwane ye-18. Phantsi kwempembelelo yakhe, iNgilani yakwazi ukufumana uhlaziyo lokwenyani lwentlalo ngokuphuculwa okubalulekileyo kwezopolitiko, ezentlalo kunye noqoqosho. Banciphisa ukungabikho kokusesikweni nobuhlwempu kwibutho labantu, bephakamisa umgangatho wokuphila wamawakawaka abantu. Umbhali-mbali uJ. Wesley Bready ude waqikelela ukuba umbutho wohlaziyo wabazalwana bakaWesley wayithintela iNgilani ekubeni ikhukuliseke kwimvukelo efanayo nakugonyamelo olwalukho eFransi:
Umyalezo kaWesley wagxininisa ukuqondwa kwevangeli. Kwakunganelanga ukuba umphefumlo womntu usindiswe, kodwa nengqondo, umzimba, nendawo yokuhlala yomntu kwafuneka iguquke. Ngenxa yembono kaWesley, umsebenzi wakhe eBritani wawungaphezulu kunokushumayela. Wavula ikhemesti, ivenkile yeencwadi, isikolo sasimahla, indawo yokuhlala yabahlolokazi, wavuka wachasa ubukhoboka kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba uWilliam Wilberforce, umchasi owaziwa kakhulu ngobukhoboka, azalwe. UWesley wakhuthaza inkululeko yoluntu neyonqulo waza wabangela ukuba abantu babone indlela amahlwempu awayevinjwa ngayo ngenkohlakalo. Waseka iindibano zocweyo zokusonta nezandla ze wafundela ubugqirha ngokwakhe ukuze ancede abasweleyo. Iinzame zikaWesley zakhokelela ekuphuculweni kwamalungelo abasebenzi kunye nophuhliso lwemithetho yokhuseleko kwiindawo zokusebenza. Owayesakuba yiNkulumbuso yaseBritani uDavid Lloyd George wathi ngaphezu kweminyaka elikhulu, amaWisile ayeziinkokeli eziphambili zombutho wabasebenzi. … URobert Raikes weza nombono wokuqalisa iZikolo zeCawa kuba wayefuna ukunika abantwana babasebenzi ithuba lokuya esikolweni. Abanye abachatshazelwa yimvuselelo kaWesley balungisa amakhaya eenkedama, izibhedlele zabagula ngengqondo, izibhedlele, kunye neentolongo. Ngokomzekelo, uFlorence Nightingale noElizabeth Fry, baziwa ngokuphucula nokuphucula unyango kunye nenkqubo yentolongo. (10)
