Yintoni egameni?

Kutshanje ndiye ndathenga incwadi ebhaliweyo Yintoni Igama? Imvelaphi yamagama eSitishi kwiLondon Underground.[1] Ijongene nembali yawo onke amagama angama-270 ezitishi zaseLondon eziphantsi komhlaba (ityhubhu yenethiwekhi). Ngokukhawuleza kula maphepha, kwacaca ukuba amagama anemvelaphi enomdla kakhulu kwiAnglo Saxon, Celtic, Norman okanye ezinye iingcambu. Amagama achaze into yembali yendawo kwaye anika ukuqonda okunzulu.

Ingqondo yam yaqalisa ukucinga ngamagama nokubaluleka kwawo. Kule nqaku, ndiza kuphonononga umba othile wamagama kwiinkonzo zamaKristu. Kukho inani elikhulu lamahlelo obuKristu. Ndikhetha ukusebenzisa igama elithi ihlelo, endaweni yamahlelo okanye amahlelo, njengoko ezi zinentsingiselo embi. Injongo yam ngokubhala kukukhuthaza ukucinga kunye nentetho.

Eli nqaku lijonga ukubaluleka kwamagama kubomi bemihla ngemihla emva koko livavanye intsingiselo yamagama enkonzo, kwaye ngakumbi livavanye elinye ihlelo elaziwa ngokuba ngamaNgqina kaYehova. Eli hlelo likhethwe kuba igama labo laziswa ngo-1931. Bayaziwa ngokuguqula abantu esidlangalaleni kunye nokubaluleka kokuncamathisela kwabo kwigama. Okokugqibela, kuya kwenziwa uviwo ngokwembono yebhayibhile ngokusetyenziswa kwegama.

Ukubaluleka kwamagama

Nayi imizekelo emibini kwishishini langoku lokubaluleka kwamagama egama. UGerald Ratner wenze intetho kwi IRoyal Albert Hall nge-23 ka-Epreli 1991 njengenxalenye yenkomfa yonyaka ye-IOD apho wathetha oku kulandelayo malunga neemveliso zeRatners '(ijewelers):

“Sikwenza iiglasi ezisikiweyo zewherry decanters ezigcwaliswe ngeglasi ezintandathu kwitreyi efakwe isilivere apho umngcamli wakho angakusela khona iziselo, zonke nge £ 4.95. Abantu bathi, 'Ungayithengisa njani le ngexabiso eliphantsi kangaka?' Ndithi, 'Kungenxa yokuba yinto nje engenamsebenzi.' ”[2]

Eminye yimbali. Inkampani yatshatyalaliswa. Abathengi abakhange balithembe igama lophawu kwakhona. Igama laba yityhefu.

Umzekelo wesibini ngulowo ndiye ndafumana amava; ibibandakanya iingxaki ezingathandekiyo ze-eriyali ye-iPhone. I-iPhone 4 yakhutshwa ngo-2010 kwaye bekukho impazamo apho iye yaphosa iminxeba.[3] Oku kwakungamkelekanga njengoko uphawu lumi kwimveliso yoyilo, isitayile, ukuthembeka kunye nokhathalelo lwabathengi olukumgangatho ophezulu. Kwiiveki zokuqala ezimbalwa, iApple ayinakuyivuma ingxaki kwaye yayiba ziindaba ezinkulu. USteve Jobs ongasekhoyo ungenelele malunga neeveki ezintandathu kamva kwaye wamkelwa kulo mbandela kwaye wanikezela ngetyala lokulungisa. Ungenelelo yayikukugcina igama lenkampani.

Abazali abalindele ukuba umntwana omtsha banike intetho enkulu ngegama. Igama liya kudlala indima ekuchazeni isimilo kunye nesiphelo salo mntwana. Ingabandakanya irhafu kwisihlobo esithandwa kakhulu, okanye umntu obalulekileyo ebomini, njl. Njl. Abo baseAfrika bahlala benika abantwana amagama ama-3 okanye ama-4 ukumela usapho, isizwe, umhla wokuzalwa, njl.

Kwilizwe lamaJuda, kukho ingcinga yokuba into ayikhankanywanga ngegama ayisekho. Ngokutsho kwenye incwadi: “Igama lesiHebhere ngomphefumlo neshamah. Embindini welo gama, oonobumba ababini abaphakathi, tshini kwaye mem, yenza ilizwi shem, NgesiHebhere 'igama.' Igama lakho sisitshixo somphefumlo wakho. ”[4]

Konke oku kubonisa indlela elibaluleke ngayo igama ebantwini kunye nemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo eliyenzayo.

UbuKristu kunye namahlelo awo

Zonke iinkolo eziphambili zinamahlelo awahlukeneyo, kwaye ezi zihlala zichazwa ngamagama anikwe iintshukumo ezahlukeneyo kunye nezikolo zokucinga. UbuKrestu buya kugxila kwingxoxo. Onke amahlelo athi uYesu ngumseki wawo kwaye abambe ibhayibhile njengendawo ekubhekiswa kuyo njengesiseko kunye nomthombo wegunya. Icawa yamaKatolika nayo ibanga isithethe secawa, ngelixa abo baphuma kwingcambu yamaProtestanti baya kunyanzelisa USola Scriptura.[5] Iimfundiso zinokwahluka, kodwa zonke zibanga ukuba "zezobuKrestu", kwaye zihlala zichaza ukuba ezinye azinyani "ngobuKrestu". Kuphakama imibuzo: Kutheni ungazibizi ukuba ungumKristu? Kutheni le nto kufuneka ubizwe enye into?

1. Ithetha ntoni ikatolika?
   Ingcambu yesiGrike yegama elithi "Katolika" lithetha "ngokuka (kata-) yonke (holos)," okanye ngaphezulu, "jikelele".[6] Ngexesha likaConstantine, eli gama lalithetha icawe yendalo iphela. Emva kokwahlukana neecawa zobuOthodoki baseMpuma, iye yasetyenziswa yicawa eyayiseRoma eyayinoPopu ukususela ngo-1054 CE. Eli gama lithetha ngokupheleleyo okanye iphela. Igama lesiNgesi icawa livela kwigama lesiGrike elithi "Kyriakos" elithetha "ukuba ngowenkosi".[7]Umbuzo ngulo: Ngaba umKristu akasele eyiNkosi? Ngaba umntu kufuneka aziwe ngokuba ungumKatolika ukuze abe lilungu?
2. Kutheni kusithiwa ungumBhaptizi?
   Ababhali-mbali balanda ngecawa yokuqala ebizwa ngokuba yi "Baptist" ukubuyela kwi-1609 eAmsterdam nge Isihlukanisi sesiNgesi UJohn Smyth njengomfundisi wayo. Le cawa ihlaziyiweyo yayikholelwa kwinkululeko yesazela, ukwahlukana kwecawa kunye nelizwe, kunye nokubhaptizwa kuphela kwamakholwa ngokuzithandela, aqondayo.[8] Igama livela ekukhatheni ubhaptizo lweentsana kunye nokuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo komntu omdala ukuba abhaptizwe.Akufanelanga ukuba onke amaKristu ayabhaptizwa njengoYesu? Ngaba abalandeli bakaYesu ababhaptizwa eBhayibhileni babebizwa ngokuba ngamaBhaptizi okanye ngamaKristu?
3. Ivela phi igama elithi Quaker?
   Umfana ogama lingu UGeorge Fox wayengonelisekanga ziimfundiso zika Icawa yaseNgilani kunye nabangathobeliyo. Wayenesityhilelo esithi, "ukho omnye, nkqu, uYesu Krestu, onokuthetha ngemeko yakho".[9]Ngo-1650, uFox waziswa phambi koomantyi uGervase Bennet noNathaniel Barton, betyholwa ngokunyelisa uThixo. Ngokwembali kaGeorge Fox, uBennet “wayengowokuqala ukusibiza ngokuba ngamaQuaker, kuba ndathi mabangcangcazele lilizwi leNkosi”. Kucingelwa ukuba uGeorge Fox wayebhekisa ku-Isaya 66: 2 okanye ku-Ezra 9: 4. Ke, igama elithi Quaker laqala njengendlela yokuhlekisa ngengcebiso kaGeorge Fox, kodwa yamkelwa ngokubanzi kwaye isetyenziswa ngamanye amaQuaker. AmaQuaker nawo azichaza esebenzisa amagama afana nobuKrestu bokwenyani, abaNgcwele, aBantwana bokuKhanya, kunye nabahlobo beNyaniso, bebonakalisa amagama asetyenziswa kwiTestamente eNtsha ngamalungu ebandla lamaKristu lokuqala.[10]Apha igama elinikiweyo yayilelinye lokugculelwa kodwa le yahluke njani kumKristu weTestamente eNtsha? Ngaba la maKristu ekuthethwa ngawo eBhayibhileni akazange agxekwe aze atshutshiswe ngenxa yokholo lwawo?

Onke amagama angentla ayindlela yokuchonga umahluko kwiinkqubo zenkolelo. Ngaba iBhayibhile iyalukhuthaza olu hlobo lokuchongwa phakathi kwamaKristu ngokukhanya kwabase-Efese 4: 4-6:[11]

“Mnye umzimba, mnye nomoya, njengoko nabizwayo nokubizwa, nakula lithemba linye lobizo lwenu. Inye iNkosi, lunye ukholo, lunye ubhaptizo; mnye uThixo noYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke, okubo bonke, ophakathi kwabo bonke. ”

Inkulungwane yokuqala yobuKristu ayibonakali ijolise kumagama ahlukeneyo.

Oku kuqiniswa ngakumbi kwileta evela kumpostile uPawulos eya kwibandla laseKorinte. Kwakukho iyantlukwano kodwa khange babhenele ekudaleni amagama; bazilungelelanisa nootitshala abohlukeneyo njengoko kubonisiwe kwi-1 kwabaseKorinte 1: 11-13:

Kuba abathile, abakwaKlowe, bandixelele ngani, bazalwana, ukuba kukho iingxabano phakathi kwenu. Ukutsho ke ndithi kuthiwa, ulowo kuni uthi, Mna ndingokaPawulos; omnye ke athi, Mna ndingoka-Apolo; omnye ke athi, Mna ndingokaKefas; omnye ke athi, Mna ndingokaKristu. UKristu wahlulelene na? UPawulos akazange abulawelwe esibondeni ngenxa yenu, andibi kunjalo? Nabhaptizelwa egameni likaPawulos, kusini na?

Apha uPawulos ulungisa le yantlukwano kodwa, nangona kunjalo, bonke babesenegama elinye kuphela. Into enomdla kukuba amagama kaPaul, uApolo noKefas amele izithethe zamaRoma, zamaGrike nezamaJuda. Oku kunokuba negalelo nakwezinye izahlulo.

Ngoku makhe siqwalasele ama-20^th Ihlelo leminyaka kunye negama layo.

AmaNgqina kaYehova

Ngo-1879 uCharles Taze Russell (uMfundisi uRussell) wapapasha uhlelo lokuqala lwe- IZion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence. Kwakunokupapashwa kokuqala kwama-6,000 eekopi awathi akhula njengoko iminyaka iqhubeka. Abo babhalisela eli phephancwadi kamva baba li ekklesia okanye amabandla. Ngexesha lokusweleka kwakhe ngo-1916 kuqikelelwa ukuba ngaphezulu kwamabandla ayi-1,200 aye amvotela njengo "Pastor" wawo. Oku kwaziwa njengoMbutho waBafundi beBhayibhile okanye ngamanye amaxesha aBafundi beBhayibhile beZizwe ngeZizwe.

Emva kokubhubha kukaRussell, uJoseph Franklin Rutherford (uJaji Rutherford) waba nguMongameli wesibini weWatchtower kunye neBible Tract Society (WTBTS) ngo-1916. Kwalandela ukwahlukana phakathi kwebhodi yabalawuli kunye naBafundi beBhayibhile abahlukeneyo baba ziinkampu ezahlukeneyo. Konke oku kubhalwe ngokubanzi.[12]

Njengoko amaqela ayeqhekekile, kwabakho isidingo sokuchonga kunye nokwahlula iqela lokuqala elisahambelana ne-WTBTS. Oku kwaqwalaselwa ngo-1931 njengoko kuchaziwe encwadini AmaNgqina KaYehova Abavakalisi BoBukumkani BukaThixo[Mbini]:

Ekuhambeni kwexesha, kwacaca mhlophe ukuba ukongeza kwisibizo somKristu, ibandla labakhonzi bakaYehova lalifuna igama elahlukileyo. Intsingiselo yegama elithi umKristu yagqwethwa kwingqondo kawonke-wonke kuba abantu abathi bangamaKristu bahlala bengenalo nofifi okanye bengenalo kwaphela uluvo lokuba ngubani uYesu Kristu, into awayeyifundisa, kunye nento ekufanele ukuba bayayenza ukuba ngenene bangabalandeli bakhe. Ukongeza, njengoko abazalwana bethu babeliqonda ngakumbi iLizwi likaThixo, babona ngokucacileyo imfuneko yokwahluka kunye nezo zonqulo ezazisithi zezobuKristu. ”

Isigwebo esinomdla kakhulu senziwa njengoko kusithiwa igama elithi "umKristu" ligqwethiwe kwaye ke kwavela isidingo sokwahlukana "nobuKrestu bobuqhetseba".

Ababhengezi iyaqhubeka:

“… Ngo-1931, samkela elona gama lahluke ngokwenene elithi amaNgqina kaYehova. Umbhali uChandler W. Sterling ubhekisela koku “njengoyena mntu ubalaseleyo” kuJ. F. Rutherford, owayengumongameli weWatch Tower Society ngoko. Njengokuba lo mbhali wayewujonga lo mbandela, eli yayilinyathelo lobulumko elinganikeli kuphela igama elisemthethweni kwiqela kodwa likwenze kwalula kubo ukutolika zonke iimbekiselo eziseBhayibhileni "ezingqina" kunye "nokunikela ubungqina" njengezisebenza ngokukhethekileyo kumaNgqina kaYehova. ”

Okubangela umdla kukuba, uChandler W. Sterling wayenguMphathiswa wamaEpiscopalia (ubhishophu kamva) kwaye umntu "obubuKrestu bobuqhetseba" nguye onika indumiso ephezulu kangaka. Indumiso yeyokuqonda kwendoda, kodwa akukho nto ikhankanyiweyo ngesandla sikaThixo. Ukongeza, lo mfundisi uthi oku kuthetha ukusebenzisa iivesi zeBhayibhile ngqo kumaNgqina kaYehova, ethetha ukuba bazama ukwenza iBhayibhile ilingane noko babekwenza.

Isahluko siyaqhubeka nenxalenye yesisombululo:

“UKUBA simthanda kakhulu uMzalwana uCharles T. Russell, ngenxa yomsebenzi wakhe, kwaye siyavuma ukuba iNkosi imsebenzisile kwaye iwusikelele kakhulu umsebenzi wayo, kodwa asinako ngokuvumelana neLizwi likaThixo ukuvuma ukubizwa ngegama 'Abalandeli bakaRussell'; ukuba iWatch Tower Bible and Tract Society kunye ne-International Bible Students Association kunye ne-Peoples Pulpit Association ngamagama nje ombutho njengeqela labantu abangamaKristu esibabambayo, esilawulayo nesibasebenzisayo ukuqhuba umsebenzi wethu bethobela imiyalelo kaThixo, kodwa akukho namnye kula magama ancamathele ngokufanelekileyo okanye asebenza kuthi njengequmrhu lamaKristu alandela emanyathelweni eNkosi neNkosi yethu, uKristu Yesu; ukuba singabafundi beBhayibhile, kodwa, njengequmrhu lamaKrestu elenza umbutho, siyala ukuthatha okanye ukubizwa ngegama elithi 'aBafundi beBhayibhile' okanye amanye amagama afanayo njengendlela yokuchonga indawo yethu efanelekileyo phambi kweNkosi; siyala ukuthwala okanye ukubizwa ngegama lakhe nawuphi na umntu;

“UKUBA, ekubeni sathengwa ngegazi elixabisekileyo likaYesu Kristu iNkosi yethu noMkhululi, sigwetyelwe saza sazalwa nguYehova uThixo saza sabizelwa ebukumkanini bakhe, ngokungathandabuzekiyo sivakalisa ukuzinikela kwethu ngokupheleleyo kuYehova uThixo nakubukumkani bakhe; ukuba singabakhonzi bakaYehova uThixo abathunywe ukwenza umsebenzi egameni lakhe, kwaye, ngokuthobela umyalelo wakhe, ukuhambisa ubungqina bukaYesu Krestu, nokwazisa abantu ukuba uYehova nguThixo oyinyaniso nonguThixo uSomandla; ke ngoko siyavuma ngovuyo kwaye sithathe igama elibizwe ngumlomo weNkosi uThixo, kwaye sinqwenela ukwaziwa nokubizwa ngegama, oko kukuthi, amangqina kaYehova. — Isa. 43: 10-12. ”

Kukho umbhalo osemazantsi onomdla ekupheleni kweli candelo kwi Ababhengezi incwadi ethi:

“Nangona ubungqina balatha kulwalathiso lukaYehova ekukhetheni igama elithi amaNgqina kaYehova, IMboniselo (Februwari 1, 1944, iphepha 42-3; Oktobha 1, 1957, iphe. 607) kunye nencwadi Amazulu amatsha noMhlaba oMtsha (iphe. 231-7) kamva yabonisa ukuba eli gama ayililo “igama elitsha” ekubhekiselwe kulo kuIsaya 62: 2; 65:15; nakwiSityhilelo 2:17, nangona eli gama livisisana nolwalamano olutsha ekubhekiselwe kulo kwizibhalo ezibini ezikuIsaya. ”

Into enomdla kukuba, apha kukho ingxelo ecacileyo yokuba eli gama lanikwa ngolwalathiso lukaThixo nangona kwakufuneka kwenziwe ingcaciso ethile kwiminyaka eli-13 nengama-26 kamva. Abuchazi ubungqina obuthile obalatha kulwalathiso lukaYehova. Into elandelayo esiza kuyiphicotha kukuba ingaba eli gama, amaNgqina kaYehova, liyahambelana na negama elinikwe abafundi bakaYesu eBhayibhileni.

Igama “UmKristu” Nemvelaphi Yalo.

Kufanelekile ukuba ufunde iZenzo 11: 19-25 apho ukukhula kwamakholwa angengomaYuda kwenzeka ngendlela enkulu.

Ke kaloku abo babechithachithekile yimbandezelo eyavela ngenxa kaStefano, bada baya kwelaseFenike, naseSipro, nakwa-Antiyokwe, belithetha nje ilizwi kumaYuda. Nangona kunjalo, amadoda athile phakathi kwawo avela eSipro naseKirene afika kwa-Antiyokwe aza aqala ukuthetha nabantu abathetha isiGrike, evakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zeNkosi uYesu. Ngaphezu koko, isandla sikaYehova sasinabo, ibe inani elikhulu labo laba ngamakholwa laza laphethukela eNkosini.    

Ingxelo ngabo yafikelela ezindlebeni zebandla laseYerusalem, yaye bakhupha uBharnabhas waya kwa-Antiyokwe. Xa wafikayo waza wabona ububele obungasifanelanga bukaThixo, wavuya waza wabakhuthaza bonke ukuba baqhubeke eNkosini ngokuzimisela okusuka entliziyweni; kuba wayeyindoda elungileyo kwaye ezele ngumoya oyingcwele nokholo. Kongezelelwa eNkosini inani elaneleyo. Ngoko waya eTarso esiya kufuna ngokucokisekileyo uSawule.
(Izenzo 11: 19-25)

Ibandla lase Yerusalem lithumela uBharnabhas ukuba aye kwenza uphando kwaye ekufikeni kwakhe, uyavuya kwaye udlala indima ekwakheni eli bandla. UBharnabhas ukhumbula ukubizwa kukaSawule waseTarso (jonga iZenzo 9) nguYesu kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo kwaye ukholelwa ukuba esi yayisisiganeko esaprofetwayo sokuba abe "nguMpostile kwiintlanga"[14]. Uya eTarso, afumane uPawulos aze abuyele kwa-Antiyokwe. Kukwa-Antiyokwe apho kwathiwa igama "umKristu".

Igama elithi "umKristu" livela kathathu kwiTestamente eNtsha, kwiZenzo 11:26 (phakathi ko-36-44 CE), kwiZenzo 26:28 (phakathi ko-56-60 CE) nakweyoku-1 kaPetros 4:16 (emva kowama-62 CE).

IZenzo 11:26 zithi “Akuba emfumene, wamsa kwa-Antiyokwe. Ke, unyaka uphela bahlanganisana nabo ebandleni kwaye bafundisa isihlwele, kwaye kwaqala kwa-Antiyokwe ukuba abafundi ngolwalathiso lukaThixo babizwe ngokuba ngamaKristu. ”

IZenzo 26:28 zithi "Kodwa uAgripa wathi kuPawulos:" Ngexesha elifutshane uza kundeyisela ekubeni ndibe ngumKristu. "

Eyoku-1 kaPetros 4:16 ithi "Kodwa ukuba umntu ubandezeleka ngokuba engumKristu, makangaziva eneentloni, kodwa makaqhubeke ezukisa uThixo ngeli gama."

Igama elithi "amaKristu" livela kwisiGrike Amakristu kwaye ivela UChristos Intsingiselo yomlandeli kaKristu, okt umKristu. KukwiZenzo 11: 26 apho igama likhankanywayo okokuqala, kwaye mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuba iAntiyokwe eSyria yayiyindawo apho uguquko lwabeeNtlanga lwenzeka khona kwaye isiGrike yayiya kuba lulwimi oluphambili.

Ngaphandle kokuba kuchazwe ngenye indlela, zonke izicatshulwa ezibhaliweyo kweli nqaku zithathwe kwiNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha ka-2013 (NWT) -inguqulelo yeBhayibhile olwenziwe yi-WTBTS. KwiZenzo 11:26, le nguqulelo yongeza amagama anika umdla “ngolwalathiso lukaThixo”. Bayayamkela ukuba le ayisiyo inguqulelo yesiqhelo kwaye bayayicacisa Ababhengezi ncwadi.[15] Iinguqulelo ezininzi azinayo “ngolwalathiso lobuthixo” kodwa “zibizwa ngokuba ngamaKristu.”

I-NWT ithatha igama lesiGrike chrematizo kwaye isebenzise uluvo lwesibini njengoko kufanelekile kulo mxholo, yiyo loo nto “ulungiselelo lobuthixo”. Inguqulelo yeTestamente eNtsha ye-NWT yayiya kugqitywa kwangoko nge-1950s. Ithetha ntoni le nto?

Ukuba iinguqulelo ezisetyenziswayo zisetyenzisiwe ngegama elithi "babizwa ngokuba ngamaKristu" zintathu izinto ezinokubakho kwimvelaphi yeli gama.

1. Abantu basekuhlaleni basebenzise eli gama njengegama elihlazo kubalandeli benkolo entsha.
2. Amakholwa kwibandla lasekuhlaleni enza eli gama ukuzazisa.
3. Kwakungokubonelelwa nguThixo.

I-NWT, ngokhetho lwayo loguqulelo, izaphulelo kwezokuqala zimbini. Oku kuthetha ukuba igama elithi "umKristu" sisigqibo sikaThixo sokuchonga abalandeli boNyana wakhe, kungoko kubhalwe ngokuphefumlelwa nguThixo nguLuka.

Amanqaku abalulekileyo ngala:

1. Ibhayibhile yamkelwe ngawo onke amahlelo obuKristu njengesityhilelo esiqhubela phambili ngentando, injongo kunye necebo likaThixo uSomandla. Oku kufuna ukufundwa kwenxalenye nganye yesibhalo kwimeko kwaye kuthathwe izigqibo ngokusekwe kuloo meko kunye nenqanaba lesityhilelo ekufikelelwe kulo.
2. Igama lamaNgqina kaYehova likhethwe ku-Isaya 43: 10-12. Eli candelo lesibhalo lijongana noYehova ebonisa ubuThixo bakhe obuphakamileyo ngokuchasene noothixo bobuxoki beentlanga ezibangqongileyo, kwaye ubiza isizwe samaSirayeli ukuba sinikele ubungqina ngobuThixo bakhe ekusebenzisaneni kwabo nabo. Igama lesizwe alitshintshwanga kwaye babengamangqina kwimisebenzi yakhe emikhulu yosindiso awayiphumezayo ngohlanga olo. AmaSirayeli awazange athathe loo nxalenye yesibhalo njengegama eliza kwaziwa ngalo. Le ndinyana yabhalwa malunga ne-750 BCE.
3. ITestamente eNtsha ityhila uYesu njengoMesiya (uKrestu, ngesiGrike-omabini la magama athetha umthanjiswa), ongoyena usembindini wazo zonke iziprofeto ezikwiTestamente eNdala. (Bona iZenzo 10:43 kunye neyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 1:20.) Umbuzo ngulo: Kulindeleke ntoni kumaKristu kweli nqanaba lesityhilelo sikaThixo?
4. Igama elitsha, umKristu, linikiwe kwaye lisekwe kwi-NWT Bible kuyacaca ukuba igama umKristu linikwe nguThixo. Eli gama lichonga bonke abo bamkelayo nabazithoba kuNyana wakhe uYesu. Ngokucacileyo le yinxalenye yesityhilelo esitsha njengoko kubonisiwe kwabaseFilipi 2: 9-11:“Ngenxa yesi sizathu, uThixo wamphakamisela kwisigxina esongamileyo waza ngobubele wamnika igama elingaphezu kwawo onke amanye amagama, ukuze egameni likaYesu agobe onke amadolo abo basezulwini nawabo basemhlabeni nawabo baphantsi Zonke iilwimi kufuneka zivume ekuhleni ukuba uYesu Krestu uyiNkosi, kuze kuzukiswe uThixo uYise. ”
5. I-WTBTS ibanga ukuba yiBhayibhile kuphela elilizwi eliphefumlelweyo likaThixo. Iimfundiso zabo zinokuhlengahlengiswa, zicaciswe kwaye zitshintshwe ngokuhamba kwexesha.[16] Ukongeza, kukho iakhawunti engqina ngamehlo enikezwe ngu-AH Macmillan[17] ngolu hlobo:
   
   Xa wayeneminyaka engamashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubudala uA. H. Macmillan waya kwiNdibano yamaNgqina kaYehova “yesiqhamo somoya” kwakweso sixeko. Apho, ngoAgasti 1, 1964, uMzalwan 'uMacmillan wenza la magqabaza abangel' umdla ngendlela lokwamkelwa kwelo gama:“Kwakulilungelo lam ukuba lapha eColumbus ngowe-1931 xa sasifumana. . . isihloko esitsha okanye igama. . . Ndiphakathi kwabahlanu ababezakwenza uluvo malunga noko sasicinga ngombono wokwamkela elo gama, kwaye ndabaxelela oku ngokufutshane: Ndicinga ukuba licebo elihle kakhulu kuba eso sihloko silapho sixelele umhlaba konke esikwenzayo kwaye ibiyintoni ishishini lethu. Ngaphambi koku sasibizwa ngokuba ngaBafundi beBhayibhile. Ngoba? Kuba yile nto besiyiyo. Kwaye xa ezinye iintlanga zaqala ukufunda kunye nathi, sabizwa ngokuba ngabaFundi beBhayibhile beZizwe ngezizwe. Kodwa ngoku singamangqina kaYehova uThixo, kwaye isihloko apho sixelela uluntu ukuba siyintoni kunye nento esiyenzayo. . . . ”“Ngapha koko, yayinguThixo uSomandla, ndiyakholelwa, okhokelele kuloo nto, kuba uMzalwana uRutherford wandixelela ukuba uvukile ngobunye ubusuku xa wayelungiselela le ndibano kwaye wathi, 'Yintoni le ndiyicebise emhlabeni Ingqungquthela xa ndingenantetho ikhethekileyo okanye umyalezo kubo? Kutheni uzizisa zonke apha? ' Kwaye emva koko waqala ukucinga ngayo, kwaye u-Isaya 43 weza engqondweni yakhe. Wavuka ngentsimbi yesibini ekuseni wabhala ngamafutshane, kwidesika yakhe, isishwankathelo sentetho awayeza kuyinikela ngoBukumkani, ithemba lehlabathi, nangegama elitsha. Kwaye konke oko kwakuthethwe nguye ngelo xesha kwakulungiselelwe ngobo busuku, okanye loo ntsasa ngentsimbi yesibini. Akukho mathandabuzo engqondweni yam — ngelo xesha nangoku - yokuba iNkosi yamkhokelela koko, kwaye ligama uYehova afuna silithwale kwaye sonwabile kwaye sonwabe kakhulu ukuba nalo. ”[18]

Kucacile ukuba eli yayilixesha loxinzelelo kuMongameli we-WTBTS kwaye waziva ukuba udinga umyalezo omtsha. Ngokusekwe koko, ufika kwesi sigqibo sokuba kufuneka igama elitsha lokwahlula eli qela labafundi beBhayibhile kwamanye amaqela eemfundiso kunye namahlelo. Ngokucacileyo isekwe ekucingeni komntu kwaye akukho bungqina boLungiselelo lukaThixo.

Ukongeza, kuvela umngeni apho ingxelo ephefumlelweyo ebhalwe nguLuka inika igama elinye kodwa malunga neminyaka eli-1,950 11 kamva umntu athiye igama elitsha. Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini kamva i-WTBTS iguqulela iZenzo 26: XNUMX kwaye yamkela ukuba yayenziwe ngu "Lungiselelo lukaThixo". Okwangoku, ukungqubana kwegama elitsha nezibhalo kuyacaca kakhulu. Ngaba umntu kufuneka amkele ingxelo yebhayibhile ephefumlelweyo eqiniswe ngakumbi yinguqulelo ye-NWT, okanye alandele isikhokelo sendoda ethi ayikhuthazwa nguThixo?

Okokugqibela, kwiTestamente eNtsha, kucacile ukuba amaKristu abizelwe ukuba angamangqina kaYehova noYesu. Jonga amazwi kaYesu kwiZenzo 1: 8 efundeka ngolu hlobo:

"Kodwa uya kufumana amandla xa umoya oyingcwele uza kuni, kwaye niya kuba ngamangqina am eYerusalem, kuyo yonke iJudiya neSamariya, kude kuse nakwezona nxalenye zikude zomhlaba." Kwakhona, jonga iSityhilelo 19:10 - “Ndawa phantsi phambi kweenyawo zakhe, ukuba ndimnqule. Kodwa yathi kum: “Lumka! Sukwenza lonto! Ndilikhoboka nje kuphela kunye nawe nabazalwana bakho abanomsebenzi wokungqina ngoYesu. Nqula uThixo! Kuba ubungqina obungoYesu ngabo bukuphefumlela. ”

AmaKristu awazange abizwe ngokuba "ngamaNgqina kaYesu" nangona enikela ubungqina ngokufa kwakhe okulidini nokuvuka kwakhe.

Konke oku kukhokelela kumbuzo othi: Azahlula njani amaKristu ngokwawo ukuba awasekelwanga kumagama anje ngamaKatolika, amaBhaptizi, amaQuaker, amaNgqina kaYehova, et cetera?

Ukuchonga umKristu

UmKristu ngumntu otshintshe ngaphakathi (isimo sengqondo kunye nokucinga) kodwa unokwaziwa ngezenzo zangaphandle (zokuziphatha). Ukuqaqambisa olu luhlu lwezibhalo zeTestamente eNtsha kunokuba luncedo. Makhe siqwalasele ezimbalwa kwezi, zonke zithathwe kuhlobo lwe-NWT 2013.

UMateyu 5: 14-16: “Nilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi. Isixeko asinakufihlwa xa simi phezu kwentaba. Abantu balayita isibane baze basibeke phantsi kwebhaskithi, kodwa basibeka esiphathweni saso, sikhanyisele bonke abasendlwini. Malukhanye ngokunjalo ukhanyiselo lwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze bayibone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamzukise uYihlo osemazulwini. ”

KwiNtshumayelo yaseNtabeni, uYesu watsho ngokucacileyo ukuba abafundi bakhe baya kukhanya njengezikhanyiso. Oku kukhanya kukubonakalisa ukukhanya kukaYesu njengoko kuchaziwe kuYohane 8:12. Olu khanyiso luqulathe ngaphezu kwamagama; kuquka nemisebenzi emihle. Ukholo lobuKristu ngumyalezo ekufuneka ubonakaliswe ngezenzo. Yiyo loo nto umKristu ethetha ukuba ngumlandeli kaYesu kwaye eso sisikhundla esaneleyo. Akukho nto iyaqhubeka yokongezwa.

Yoh. 13:15: “Kuba ndinibekela umzekelo, ukuze, kanye njengoko ndenjenjalo kuni, nenjenjalo nani. ” UYesu usandula ukubonisa ukubaluleka kokuthobeka ngokuhlamba iinyawo zabafundi bakhe. Ucacisa ngokucacileyo ukuba ubeka umzekelo.

UJohn 13: 34-35: “Ndininika umyalelo omtsha, wokuba nithandane; kanye njengoko ndinithandileyo mna, ukuba nani nithandane. Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana. ” UYesu ulandela le patheni ngokunika umyalelo. Igama lesiGrike lothando agape kwaye ifuna ukuba ingqondo kunye neemvakalelo zibandakanyeke. Isekwe kumgaqo. Kubiza umntu ukuba athande into engathandekiyo.

Yakobi 1:27: "Unqulo oluhlambulukileyo nolungadyobhekanga ngokwembono yoThixo uBawo wethu yile: kukugcina iinkedama nabahlolokazi embandezelweni yabo, nokuzigcina ungenabala lehlabathi." U-Yakobi, umntakwabo Yesu, uqaqambisa isidingo semfesane, inceba, ububele kunye nokuhlala sahlukile kwihlabathi. UYesu wathandazela ukwahlulwa kwihlabathi kuYohane Isahluko 17.

Kwabase-Efese 4: 22-24: “Wafundiswa ukuba nilahle ubuntu obudala obuvisisana nehambo yenu yangaphambili nobonakaliswe yiminqweno yabo ekhohlisayo. Kwaye kufuneka niqhubeke nihlaziyeka kwisimo sengqondo esilawulayo, nambathe ubuntu obutsha obadalwa ngokokuthanda kukaThixo ngobulungisa bokwenyaniso nokunyaniseka. ” Oku kufuna ukuba onke amaKristu ambathe umntu omtsha owenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaYesu. Isiqhamo salo moya sibonakala kumaGalati 5: 22-23: “Kwelinye icala, isiqhamo somoya luthando, uvuyo, uxolo, ukuzeka kade umsindo, ububele, ukulunga, ukholo, ubulali, ukuzeyisa. Akukho mthetho uchasene nezinto ezinjalo. ” Oku kubonakala kubomi bomKristu.

Eyoku-2 kwabaseKorinte 5: 20-21: “Ke ngoko, singoonozakuzaku abasendaweni kaKristu, ngokungathi uThixo wenza isibheno ngathi. Njengabambeli bakaKristu siyabongoza: “Yibani ngabaxolelanisiweyo noThixo.” Lowo wayengazani nasono, wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, ukuze ngaye sibe bubulungisa bukaThixo. ” AmaKrestu anikwe ulungiselelo lokumema abantu ukuba bangene kubudlelwane noBawo. Oku kudibene namazwi kaYesu akuMateyu 28: 19-20: “Hambani ke ngoko niye kubenza abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke, nibabhaptiza egameni loYise neloNyana nelomoya oyingcwele, nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endiniyalele zona. Kwaye khangela! Ndinani yonke imihla de kube sekuphelisweni kwenkqubo yezinto. ” Onke amaKristu anoxanduva lokwabelana nabanye ngesi sigidimi simangalisayo.

Indlela lo myalezo okwabelwana ngayo iya kuba inqaku elilandelayo; yaye emva koko, siza kuqaphela ukuba sisiphi isigidimi amaKristu afanele asishumayele?

Endaweni yePasika eyayibhiyozelwa ngamaYuda uYesu wenza iSikhumbuzo sokufa kwakhe waza wanikela nemiyalelo. Oku kwenzeka kanye ngonyaka nge-14^th ngosuku lwenyanga yamaYuda enguNisan. Onke amaKristu kulindeleke ukuba athabathe isonka newayini.

“Wathabatha isonka, wabulela, wasiqhekeza, wabanika sona, esithi:“ Oku kuthetha umzimba wam oza kunikelwa ngenxa yenu. Oku kwenzeleni ukundikhumbula. ” Kwakhona, wenza into efanayo nangendebe emva kokuba befumene isidlo sangokuhlwa, esithi: “Le ndebe ithetha umnqophiso omtsha ongegazi lam, eliza kuphalala ngenxa yenu.” (Luka 22: 19-20)

Okokugqibela, kwiNtshumayelo yaseNtabeni, u-Yesu wachaza ngokucacileyo ukuba kuyakubakho amaKrestu ayinyani kunye nobuxoki kwaye indawo eyahlukileyo yayingelogama kodwa zizenzo zabo. UMateyu 7: 21-23: Asingabo bonke abathi kum, 'Nkosi, Nkosi,' abaya kungena ebukumkanini bamazulu, kodwa ngulowo wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini oya kuthi. Abaninzi baya kuthi kum ngaloo mini, 'Nkosi, Nkosi, asizange na siprofete egameni lakho, sakhupha iidemon egameni lakho, senza imisebenzi emininzi yamandla egameni lakho?' 22 Kwaye ke ndiya kuthi kubo: 'Andizange ndinazi! Mkani kum, nina benzi bokuchasene nomthetho! '”

Ukuqukumbela, igama libalulekile kwaye lifanele lixatyiswe. Ineminqweno, isazisi, ubudlelwane kunye nekamva eliqhotyoshelwe kuyo. Alikho igama elingcono eliza kuchongwa ngalo, kunelo linxulunyaniswa noYesu:  UmKristu. Nje ukuba ubomi bunikwe uYesu kunye noYise, luxanduva lomntu ukuba aphile ngelungelo lokuthwala igama elizukileyo nokuba yinxalenye yosapho lwanaphakade. Akukho gama limbi liyimfuneko.
