Kutanthauzira Chikristu

Iyi ndi kanema yoyamba mu mndandanda watsopano wotchedwa "Bible Musings." Ndapanga YouTube playlist pamutuwu. Ndakhala ndikufuna kuchita izi kwakanthawi, koma nthawi zonse zimawoneka kuti pali china chomwe chikukakamira kuti ndichotse kaye. Zilipobe, ndipo mwina zidzakhalapobe, chifukwa chake ndidaganiza zongotenga ng'ombe yamphongo ija ndikuponyera patsogolo. (Ndikukhulupirira kuti ena mwa inu anena kuti ndizovuta kutsogola mukamagwira ng'ombe yamphongo ndi nyanga.)

Kodi cholinga cha Nyimbo za M'baibulo mndandanda wamavidiyo? Mukumva bwanji mukamalandira uthenga wabwino? Ndikuganiza kuti ambiri aife, zomwe timachita nthawi yomweyo ndikufuna kuuza ena, abale ndi abwenzi, zowonadi. Ndikupeza ndikamawerenga Malemba kuti nthawi ndi nthawi, kuzindikira kwatsopano kudzandigunda, kulingalira pang'ono kosangalatsa kapena mwina kumveketsa china chake chomwe chakhala chikundidabwitsa kwanthawi yayitali. Sindine wapadera pa izi. Ndikukhulupirira kuti inunso mumachita zomwezo mukamawerenga mawu a Mulungu. Chiyembekezo changa ndikuti pogawana zomwe ndapeza, kukambirana kwakukulu kudzapangitsa kuti aliyense athandizire kuzindikira kwake. Ndikukhulupirira kuti fanizo la kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru silikunena za oyang'anira m'modzi kapena ochepa, koma za ntchito yomwe aliyense wa ife amachita podyetsa ena chidziwitso chathu cha Khristu.

Ndi izi m'malingaliro, apa zikupita.

Kodi Chikhristu chimatanthauzanji? Kodi kumatanthauza chiyani kukhala Mkhristu?

Munthu mmodzi mwa anthu atatu alionse padziko lapansi amati ndi Akhristu. Komabe onse amakhulupirira zosiyana. Funsani Akhristu mwachisawawa kuti afotokoze tanthauzo la kukhala Mkhristu ndipo adzafotokoza malinga ndi zikhulupiriro zawo.

Mkatolika sakhala, "Chabwino, nazi zomwe ine monga Mkatolika ndimakhulupirira…" Mormon akhoza kunena, "Izi ndi zomwe a Mormon amakhulupirira…" Presbyterian, Anglican, Baptist, Evangelist, Mboni za Yehova, Eastern Orthodox, Christadelphian - aliyense adzafotokozera Chikhristu ndi zomwe amakhulupirira, ndi chikhulupiriro chawo.

Mmodzi mwa Akhristu odziwika kwambiri m'mbiri yonse ndi Mtumwi Paulo. Akanayankha bwanji funsoli? Tsegulani pa 2 Timoteo 1:12 kuti mupeze yankho.

Cifukwa cace, ngakhale ndiyenera kumva zowawa zanga, sindichita manyazi; chifukwa ndikudziwa amene Ndakhulupirira, ndipo ndikhulupirira kuti Iye atha kuteteza zomwe ndampatsa tsiku lijali. ”(Berean Study Bible)

Mukudziwa kuti sananene kuti, "Ndikudziwa chani Ndimakhulupirira…" 

William Barclay analemba kuti: “Chikristu sichitanthauza kubwereza chikhulupiriro; zikutanthauza kudziwa munthu. ”

Monga kale Mboni ya Yehova, ndikosavuta kwa ine kuloza chala ndikunena kuti apa ndi pomwe a JWs amasowa bwato-kuti amathera nthawi yawo yonse kuyang'ana kwa Yehova, pomwe sangadziwe Atate kupatula kudzera mwa Mwana . Komabe, kungakhale kupanda chilungamo kunena kuti vuto ili ndi la Mboni za Yehova zokha. Ngakhale mutakhala Mlaliki wa "Yesu Amapulumutsa" kapena "Wobadwanso Kwatsopano", muyenera kuvomereza kuti mamembala a chikhulupiriro chanu amayang'ana chani amakhulupirira, osatinso amene amakhulupirira. Tivomerezane, zikadakhala kuti zipembedzo zonse zachikhristu zidakhulupirira Yesu — osakhulupirira Yesu, koma adakhulupirira Yesu, chomwe ndi chinthu china chonse — sipakanakhala magawano pakati pathu. 

Chowonadi ndi chakuti chipembedzo chachipembedzo chilichonse chimakhala nacho chipembedzo chake; zikhulupiriro zake, ziphunzitso, komanso matanthauzidwe ake omwe amachititsa kuti adziwike ngati osiyana, komanso m'malingaliro ake ogwirizana, monga abwino kwambiri; bwino kuposa ena onse. 

Chipembedzo chilichonse chimayang'ana atsogoleri ake kuti awauze zomwe zili zoona komanso zabodza. Kuyang'ana kwa Yesu, kumatanthauza kuvomereza zomwe akunena ndikumvetsetsa zomwe akutanthauza, osapita kwa anthu ena kuti akatanthauzire. Mawu a Yesu analembedwa. Iwo ali ngati kalata yolembedwa kwa aliyense wa ife payekha; koma ambirife timafunsa wina kuti awerenge kalatayo ndikumasulira. Amuna achinyengo m'mibadwo yonse agwiritsa ntchito ulesi wathu ndikugwiritsa ntchito chiyembekezo chathu cholakwika kutitengera kutali ndi Khristu, kutero nthawi yonseyi m'dzina lake. Ndizopusa bwanji!

Sindikunena kuti chowonadi sichofunikira. Yesu ananena kuti “choonadi chidzatimasula” Komabe, tikamanena mawu amenewa, nthawi zambiri timaiwala kuwerenga mfundo yapitayi. Anati, "ngati mukhala m'mawu anga". 

Mudamva za umboni wakumva, sichoncho? Khothi lamilandu, umboni womwe umaperekedwa kutengera zonena zamtunduwu nthawi zambiri umatsutsidwa ngati wosadalirika. Kuti tidziwe kuti zomwe timakhulupirira za Khristu sizongopeka ndi mphekesera, tiyenera kumumvera mwachindunji. Tiyenera kumudziwa bwino monga munthu, osati wachiwiri.

Yohane akutiuza kuti Mulungu ndiye chikondi. (1 Yohane 4: 8) A Baibulo la Dziko Latsopano (bi12) pa Ahebri 1: 3 akutiuza kuti "Mwana aonetsa ulemerero wa Mulungu ndi kufotokozera chikhalidwe cha Mulungu…" Kotero, ngati Mulungu ndiye chikondi, chomwechonso Yesu. Yesu amafuna kuti otsatira ake atsanzire chikondi chimenechi, ndichifukwa chake ananena kuti adzadziwika ndi akunja potengera chikondi chomwe adawonetsa.

The New International Version pa Yohane 13:34, 35 pamati: “Monga ndakonda inu, inunso muyenera kukondana. Mwa ichi adzazindikira onse kuti muli akuphunzira anga, ngati mukondana wina ndi mnzake. ” Zomwe zikugwirizana ndi mawu awa a Ambuye wathu zitha kunenedwa motere: “Mwa ichi aliyense adzadziwa kuti ndinu osati ophunzira anga, ngati inu osa kondanani wina ndi mnzake. ”

Kwa zaka mazana ambiri, iwo omwe amadzitcha Akhristu akhala akumenya nkhondo ndikupha ena nawonso amadzitcha Akhristu chifukwa cha chani adakhulupirira. Palibe mpingo wachikhristu masiku ano womwe sunadetse manja ake ndi mwazi wa Akhristu anzawo chifukwa chakusiyana zikhulupiriro. 

Ngakhale zipembedzo zomwe sizichita nawo nkhondo zalephera kumvera lamulo la chikondi munjira zina. Mwachitsanzo, angapo mwa maguluwa adzapewa aliyense amene sagwirizana nawo chani amakhulupirira. 

Sitingasinthe anthu ena. Ayenera kufuna kusintha. Njira yathu yabwino yosonkhezera ena ndi momwe timakhalira. Ndikuganiza kuti ndichifukwa chake Baibulo limanena za Khristu kukhala "mwa" ife. NWT imawonjezera mawu omwe sapezeka m'mipukutu yoyambirira kuti "mwa Khristu" akhale "ogwirizana ndi Khristu", potero amafooketsa mphamvu ya uthengawo. Taganizirani malembawa ndikuchotsa mawu okhumudwitsa:

“. . .ndipo ife, ngakhale tili ochuluka, tiri thupi limodzi mwa Khristu. . . ” (Aro 12: 5)

“. . Chifukwa chake, ngati munthu ali yense ali mwa Khristu ali wolengedwa watsopano; zinthu zakale zapita; onani! zinthu zatsopano zakhalapo. ” (2Ako 5:17)

“. . .Kapena kodi simukuzindikira kuti Yesu Khristu ali mwa inu? . . . ” (2Ako 13: 5)

“. . .Sindinenso amene ndimakhala, koma Khristu amene akhala mwa ine. . . . ” (Agal. 2:20)

“. . Atamandike Mulungu ndi Atate wa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu, pakuti watidalitsa ife ndi dalitso lonse lauzimu mmalo akumwamba mwa Khristu, monga anatisankhira kuti tikhale mwa iye dziko lisanalengedwe, kuti tikhale oyera ndi m'chikondi chopanda chilema pamaso pake. ” (Aef. 1: 3, 4)

Ine ndikhoza kupitirira, koma inu mumapeza lingaliro. Kukhala Mkhristu kumatanthauza kumvera Khristu, makamaka mpaka anthu adzaona Khristu mwa ife, monga momwe timaonera Atate mwa iye.

Lolani odana nawo, kudana. Lolani ozunzawo, azunza. Siyani ozemba, azipewa. Koma tiyeni tikonde ena monga momwe Khristu amatikondera. Mwachidule, ndiye tanthauzo la Chikhristu, mwa lingaliro langa.
