Ukukhaba iimviko

[Oku kulandelayo sisicatshulwa esikwisahluko sam (ibali lam) kwincwadi esandula ukupapashwa Uloyiko kwinkululeko maneka kwi-Amazon.]

Inxalenye 1: Kukhululwe kwi-Indoctrination

“Mama, ngaba ndiza kufa eArmagedon?”

Ndandineminyaka emihlanu kuphela xa ndabuza abazali bam loo mbuzo.

Kutheni ukuba umntwana oneminyaka emihlanu ubudala azikhathaze ngezinto ezinje? Ngegama: "Indoctrination". Ukususela ebusaneni, abazali bam babesiya nam kuzo zonke iintlanganiso ezintlanu zamaNgqina kaYehova. Ukusuka eqongeni nangokupapashwa, umbono wokuba umhlaba uza kuphela kungekudala wafakwa kwingqondo yomntwana wam. Abazali bam bandixelele ukuba andisoze ndigqibe nokufunda.

Kwakuneminyaka engama-65 eyadlulayo, kwaye ubunkokheli bamaNgqina busatsho ukuba iArmagedon "isondele".

Ndafunda ngoYehova uThixo noYesu Kristu kumaNgqina, kodwa ukholo lwam aluxhomekekanga kunqulo olo. Ngapha koko, ukusukela oko ndemka ngo-2015, yomelele kunakuqala. Oko akuthethi ukuba ukushiya amaNgqina kaYehova kube lula. Umntu wangaphandle unokuba nengxaki yokuqonda ukukhathazeka ngokweemvakalelo elijamelene nako ilungu loMbutho xa eshiya. Kwimeko yam, ndandikhonze njengomdala ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-40. Bonke abahlobo bam babengamaNgqina kaYehova. Ndandinodumo oluhle, kwaye ndicinga ukuba ndingatsho ngokuzithoba ukuba abaninzi babekhangele kum njengomzekelo olungileyo wokuba umdala ufanele ukuba yintoni. Njengomnxibelelanisi wequmrhu labadala, ndandikwisikhundla esiphezulu. Kutheni umntu anokunikezela ngayo yonke loo nto?

Uninzi lwamaNgqina lubekwe ukuba lukholelwe ukuba abantu bashiya kuphela uluhlu lwabo ngenxa yekratshi. Injani intlekisa leyo. Ikratshi belizakundigcina kuMbutho. Ikratshi lalingandibangela ukuba ndibambelele kwigama endaliphumelela nzima, isikhundla kunye negunya; kanye njengokuba ikratshi kunye noloyiko lokuphulukana negunya labo zaqhuba iinkokheli zamaJuda ukuba zibulale uNyana kaThixo. (UYohane 11:48)

Amava am ahlukile. Abanye bancame okungaphezulu kunam. Abazali bam baswelekile kwaye udadewethu uyekile noMbutho kunye nam; Kodwa ndazi ngabaninzi abaneentsapho ezinkulu-abazali, ootatomkhulu noomakhulu, abantwana, njlnjl. Ukunqunyulwa ngokupheleleyo ngamalungu osapho kube buhlungu kakhulu kwabanye kangangokuba baye bazithathela ubomi babo. Kubuhlungu kakhulu. (Yanga iinkokheli zombutho zinganakana. U-Yesu wathi kungangcono ukuba abo bakhubekisa abancinci babotshwe ngelitye lokusila entanyeni, baphoswe elwandle- Marko 9:42.)

Ngenxa yeendleko, kutheni umntu ekhetha ukuhamba? Kutheni uzifaka kule ntlungu?

Zininzi izizathu, kodwa kum inye kuphela ebaluleke kakhulu; kwaye ukuba ndinokukunceda uyifumane, ndiya kuba ndifeze into entle.

Cinga ngalo mzekeliso kaYesu: “Kwakhona ubukumkani bamazulu bunjengomrhwebi ohambahambayo ofuna iiperile ezintle. Akuba efumene iperile enye yexabiso eliphakamileyo, wemka kwangoko wathengisa zonke izinto awayenazo wayithenga. ” (Mateyu 13:45, 46[i])

Yeyiphi iperile yexabiso elinokubangela ukuba umntu onje ngam ancame yonke into enexabiso ukuze ayifumane?

UYesu uthi: “Inene ndithi kuni, akukho namnye ushiye indlu okanye abantakwabo okanye oodade wabo okanye unina okanye uyise okanye abantwana okanye amasimi ngenxa yam nangenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo ongasayi kuphinda afumane kalikhulu ngoku kweli xesha ixesha — izindlu, abantakwabo, oodade, oomama, abantwana, namasimi, kunye neentshutshiso — nakwinkqubo yezinto ezayo, ubomi obungunaphakade. ” (UMarko 100:10, 29)

Ke, kwelinye icala lomncono sinesikhundla, ukhuseleko lwezezimali, usapho kunye nabahlobo. Kwelinye icala, sinoYesu Krestu kunye nobomi obungunaphakade. Yintoni enobunzima obungakumbi emehlweni akho?

Ngaba ukhathazekile ngumbono onokuthi uchithe inxalenye enkulu yobomi bakho ngaphakathi kuMbutho? Ngokwenene, iya kuba yinkcitho kuphela ukuba awusebenzisi eli thuba ukubamba ubomi obungunaphakade uYesu akunikezela ngabo. (1 Timoti 6:12, 19)

Icandelo 2: Igwele labaFarisi

“Lilumkeleni igwele labaFarisi, eliluhanahaniso.” (ULuka 12: 1)

Igwele libhaktiriya elibangela ukubila okwenza intlama inyuke. Ukuba uthatha iqhekeza elincinci, uligalele kwintlama yomgubo, izakuphinda iphindaphindeke de kugqitywe wonke ubunzima. Ngokunjalo, kuthatha kuphela uhanahaniso oluncinci ukugcwala okanye ukosulela ngokuthe ngcembe lonke ibandla lobuKristu. Igwele lokwenyani lilungele isonka, kodwa igwele labaFarisi libi kakhulu kulo naliphi na iqumrhu lamaKristu. Nangona kunjalo, inkqubo iyacotha kwaye kuhlala kunzima ukuyibona de ubunzima buphele bonakaliswe.

Ndicebise kwisitishi sam seYouTube (iBeroean Pickets) ukuba imeko yangoku yebandla lamaNgqina kaYehova imbi kakhulu ngoku njengokuba ndandikwiminyaka yam yobutsha-ingxelo eyakhe yaphikiswa ngamanye ababukeli bejelo. Nangona kunjalo, ndimi ecaleni kwayo. Sesinye sezizathu zokuba ndingakhange ndiqalise ukuvuka kubunyani boMbutho kude kube ngo-2011.

Umzekelo, andinakucinga ukuba uMbutho wee-1960s okanye ii-1970s uzibandakanya ne-NGO kunye neZizwe eziManyeneyo njengoko beza kwenza iminyaka elishumi ukuqala ngo-1992 kwaye baphela kuphela xa bevezwe esidlangalaleni kukuhanahanisa.[ii]

Ngokubhekele phaya, ukuba ngezo ntsuku, umdala kwinkonzo yexesha elizeleyo, nokuba ngumvangeli wasemazweni ubomi bonke okanye ulilungu laseBheteli, baya kukunyamekela de ubhubhe. Ngoku babeka ixesha elipheleleyo kumanqwanqwa ngaphandle kokuqhwatywa ngempama emqolo kwaye bekhuthazekile, "Hlala kakuhle."[iii]

Ke kukho ihlazo lokukhula gadalala kwabantwana. Kuyavunywa, imbewu yayo yayityalwe kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo, kodwa kwakungekho ngo-2015 apho i-ARC[iv] yazisa ekukhanyeni kwemini.[v]  Ke iintubi ezikumfuziselo bezisoloko zisanda kwaye zisitya kwisakhelo somthi seJW.org ixesha elithile, kodwa kum isakhiwo sasibonakala siqinile kude kube yiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo.

Le nkqubo inokuqondwa ngomzekeliso uYesu awawusebenzisayo ukucacisa imeko yohlanga lwakwaSirayeli ngomhla wakhe.

Xa umoya ongcolileyo uthe waphuma emntwini, ucanda ezindaweni ezingenamanzi, ufuna ukuphumla, ungafumani ndawo. Emva koko ithi, 'Ndiya kubuyela endlwini yam endaphuma kuyo'; uthi ke wakufika uyifumane ingaphathwanga mntu, kodwa itshayelwe yacoceka yaza yahonjiswa. Wandula ke uhambe uze uthabathe oomoya abahlukileyo abasixhenxe abakhohlakeleyo ngakumbi kunawo, bangene ke ngaphakathi, bahlale khona; zize iimeko zokugqibela zaloo mntu zibe mbi ngakumbi kunokuqala. Kuya kuba njalo nakwesi sizukulwana singendawo.”(UMateyu 12: 43-45 NWT)

UYesu wayengabhekiseli kumntu wokoqobo, kodwa kwisizukulwana sonke. Umoya kaThixo uhlala ngaphakathi kwabantu ngabanye. Ayithathi abantu abaninzi bokomoya ukuba nefuthe elinamandla kwiqela. Khumbula, uYehova wayekulungele ukusindisa izixeko ezingendawo zaseSodom naseGomora ngenxa ngamadoda alishumi kuphela (IGenesis 18:32). Nangona kunjalo, kukho indawo crossover. Ngelixa ndisazi amaKristu amaninzi alungileyo ebomini bam — amadoda nabafazi abalungileyo — kancinci kancinci, ndiwabonile amanani abo esihla. Ukuthetha ngokuzekelisayo, ngaba akho amadoda alishumi alungileyo kwiJW.org?

Umbutho wanamhlanje, ngamanani awo anciphileyo kunye nentengiso yeeHolo zoBukumkani, usisithunzi endakha ndasazi nesasixhasa. Kubonakala ngathi "oomoya abasixhenxe abakhohlakeleyo kunabo" basebenza nzima.

Icandelo 2: Ibali lam

NdandiliNgqina likaYehova eliqhelekileyo kwishumi lam elivisayo, oko kuthetha ukuba ndandiye kwiintlanganiso kwaye ndithathe inxaxheba ekushumayeleni kwindlu ngendlu ngenxa yokuba ndenziwe ngabazali. Kuphela kuxa ndaya eColombia, eMzantsi Merika, ngowe-1968 ndineminyaka eli-19 kuphela apho ndathi ndaqala ukubuthabatha nzulu ubumoya bam. Ndathweswa isidanga ngo-1967 kwaye ndandisebenza kwinkampani yentsimbi yasekuhlaleni, ndihlala kude nekhaya. Bendifuna ukuya eyunivesithi, kodwa ngokunyuswa koMbutho ngonyaka we-1975 njengesiphelo esinokwenzeka, ukufumana isidanga kubonakala ngathi kukuchitha ixesha.[vi]

Ndathi ndakuva ukuba abazali bam babekhupha udadewethu oneminyaka eli-17 ubudala esikolweni bafudukela eColombia ukuya kukhonza apho indingeko inkulu khona, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiwuyeke umsebenzi ndize ndiqhubeke kuba oko kwakuvakala ngathi yinto entle. Ngokwenyani ndicinge ngokuthenga isithuthuthu kwaye ndihamba eMzantsi Melika. (Kungenzeka kanye ukuba akuzange kwenzeke.)

Ukufika kwam eColombia ndaza ndaqala ukunxulumana nabanye “abasweleyo”, njengoko babebizwa njalo, indlela yam yokomoya yatshintsha. (Kwakukho ngaphezulu kwama-500 kwelo lizwe ngelo xesha evela e-US, Canada, kunye nabambalwa abavela eYurophu. Okothusayo kukuba, inani lamaKhanada lalilingana nenani labantu baseMelika, nangona inani lamaNgqina eCanada lishumi nje kuphela Ndifumanise ukuba umlinganiso ofanayo uyaqhubeka xa bendikhonza e-Ecuador phaya ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1990.)

Ngelixa indlela yam yokujonga izinto yayijongwa ngakumbi ngumoya, ukunxulumana nabavangeli kwakubulala nawuphi na umnqweno wokuba lelinye ilizwe okanye ukukhonza eBheteli. Kwakukho into encinci kakhulu kunye nokulwa phakathi kwezibini zabathunywa bevangeli nakwisebe. Nangona kunjalo, ihambo enjalo ayizange ilubulale ukholo lwam. Ndicinga nje ukuba sisiphumo sokungafezeki komntu, kuba, ngapha koko, besingenayo "inyaniso"?

Ndiqale ukuthatha isifundo sobuqu seBhayibhile nzulu ngaloo mihla kwaye ndenza inqaku lokufunda zonke iimpapasho. Ndiqale ndinenkolelo yokuba iimpapasho zethu ziphandwe ngokucokisekileyo kwaye nabasebenzi bokubhala babenabaphengululi beBhayibhile abakrelekrele.

Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide ngaphambi kokuba loo ngcinga ichithwe.

Umzekelo, iimagazini bezisoloko zisebenzisa izinto ezinjengengonyama eyabulawa nguSamson emele ubuProtestanti (w67 2/15 iphe. 107 isiqe. 11) okanye iinkamela ezilishumi ezafunyanwa nguRebecca kuIsake emele iBhayibhile (w89 7 (1 p. 27 isiqe. 17). (Bendidla ngokuqhula ngelithi ubulongwe benkamela bumele i-Apocrypha.) Naxa bephanda ngesayensi, beza neengxelo eziziziyatha — umzekelo, besithi ilothe “yenye yezona zinto zigqibeleleyo zombane”, xa kukho umntu okhe iintambo zebhetri ezisetyenzisiweyo ukonyusa imoto efileyo iyazi ukuba uziqhagamshela kwiitheminali zebhetri ezenziwe ngokukhokela. (Uncedo lokuqonda iBhayibhile, iphe. 1164)

Iminyaka engamashumi amane ndingumdala ithetha ukuba ndinyamezele malunga nama-80 okutyelelwa ngumveleli wesiphaluka. Ngokuqhelekileyo abadala babeloyikela olo tyelelo. Sasonwabile xa sishiyeke sodwa sisebenzisa ubuKrestu bethu, kodwa xa sasiqhagamshelwa nolawulo oluphambili, uvuyo lwaphuma kwinkonzo yethu. Ngamaxesha onke, umveleli wesiphaluka okanye i-CO wayenokusishiya siziva ngathi asenzi ngokwaneleyo. Ukuziva benetyala, hayi uthando, yayingamandla abo ashukumisayo asetyenziswayo kwaye asasetyenziswa nguMbutho.

Ukushwankathela amazwi eNkosi yethu: “Ngale nto bonke baya kwazi ukuba aningabafundi bam, ukuba ninetyala phakathi kwenu.” (UYohane 13:35)

Ndikhumbula enye ye-CO ebaluleke kakhulu eyayifuna ukuphucula ukubakho kweentlanganiso kwisifundo sencwadi sebandla, esasisoloko sihamba kakubi kuzo zonke iintlanganiso. Umbono wakhe yayikukuba uMqhubi weSifundo seNcwadi abize nabani na ongakhange aye kwangoko nje emva kokuba isifundo siphelile ukuze abaxelele ukuba baphoswe kangakanani. Ndamxelela — ndicaphula amaHebhere 10:24 ngokuhlekisa — ukuba sizakuba “ngabavuselela abazalwana ityala nemisebenzi emihle ”. Uye wancuma wakhetha ukungayihoyi le jibe. Abadala bonke bakhethe ukungahoyi "ulwalathiso lothando" -kodwa omnye umdala oselula owathi kungekudala wazenzela igama lokuvusa abantu abaphosileyo kwisifundo sokuya kulala kwangoko kuba babediniwe, besebenza kakhulu, okanye begula nje.

Ukunyaniseka, kwakukho abaveleli besiphaluka abalungileyo kwiminyaka yokuqala, amadoda awayezama ngokwenene ukuba ngamaKristu alungileyo. (Ndingazibala kwiminwe yesandla esinye.) Nangona kunjalo, zihlala zingapheli. IBheteli yayifuna abantu benkampani abaza kwenza iimfama zabo bengaboni. Lowo ngumhlaba ogqibeleleyo wokuzalela ukucinga kwabaFarisi.

Igwele labaFarisi lalisiya licaca ngakumbi. Ndiyazi ngomdala ofunyenwe enetyala lobuqhetseba yinkundla yomanyano, owaye wavunyelwa ukuba aqhubeke nokulawula iimali zeKomiti Yokwakha Yenqila. Ndikhe ndabona iqumrhu labadala lizama kaninzi ukususa umdala ngokuthumela abantwana bakhe eyunivesithi, ngelixa bebekujonga ngoyaba ukuziphatha gwenxa ngokwesondo phakathi kwabo. Into ebalulekileyo kubo kukuthobela nokuthobela ukhokelo lwabo. Ndibonile abadala besuswa ngenxa yokubuza imibuzo emininzi kwiofisi yesebe kwaye bengakulungelanga ukwamkela iimpendulo zabo ezimhlophe.

Esinye isihlandlo esigqamileyo kuxa sizama ukususa umdala owayenyelise omnye kwileta yokumazisa.[vii]  Ukuhleba kulityala lokususa kubudlelane, kodwa besinomdla wokususa lo mzalwana kwiofisi yakhe yokongamela. Nangona kunjalo, wayenomntu owayehlala naye egumbini laseBheteli ngoku owayelilungu lekomiti yesebe. Ikomiti ekhethekileyo eyonyulwe lisebe yathunyelwa ukuba "lihlole" eli tyala. Abavumanga ukujonga ubungqina, nangona intlebendwane yabhalwa ngokucacileyo. Ixhoba lokuhletywa laxelelwa ngumveleli wesiphaluka ukuba akanakunikela ubungqina ukuba uyafuna ukuhlala engumdala. Uye woyika kwaye akavuma ukuza kuva. Abazalwana ababelwe iKomiti eKhethekileyo basicacisela ukuba iSebe Leenkonzo lifuna sibuyekeze isigqibo sethu, kuba lihlala libonakala lingcono xa bonke abadala bevumelana nolwalathiso oluvela eBheteli. (Lo ngumzekelo womgaqo-siseko “womanyano ngobulungisa”. Sasibathathu kuphela, kodwa asizange sinikezele, ngenxa yoko kwafuneka basigqibe isigqibo sethu.

Ndabhala iDesika yeNkonzo ndikhalazela ukoyikisa kwabo ingqina kunye nokuyalela iKomiti eKhethekileyo ukuba ikhuphe isigwebo abasithandayo. Kungekudala emva koko, bazamile ukundisusa ngenxa yokungathobeli. Kubathathe imizamo emibini, kodwa bayifezile.

Kanye njengokuba igwele liqhubeka nokugcwala kule ntlama, uhanahaniso olo luchaphazela onke amanqanaba entlangano. Umzekelo, kukho iqhinga eliqhelekileyo elilawulwa yimizimba yabadala ukunyelisa nabani na omelana nabo. Rhoqo, umntu onjalo akakwazi ukuhambela phambili ebandleni ngoko ke baziva bekhuthazekile ukufudukela kwelinye ibandla, elinye linethemba labo — abadala abanengqiqo. Xa oko kusenzeka, ileta yokwazisa iyabalandela, ihlala izele ngamagqabaza amahle, kunye nengxelo encinci yokuxela malunga "nomcimbi othile oxhalabisayo." Iya kuba yinto engacacanga, kodwa yanele ukuphakamisa iflegi kwaye ukhawuleze umnxeba ukuze ucaciselwe. Ngale ndlela iqumrhu elidala labadala "linokutya ukungcola" ngaphandle koloyiko lokohlwaywa kuba akukho nto ibhaliweyo.

Ndilicaphukela eli qhinga kwaye ndathi ndakuba ngumnxibelelanisi kwi2004, ndala ukudlala kunye. Ewe, umveleli wesiphaluka ujonga zonke ezo leta kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo uya kucela ukucaciselwa, kuya kufuneka ndiyifumene. Nangona kunjalo, andiyi kwamkela nantoni na engabhalwanga. Babehlala bekhathazwa yile nto, kwaye ngekhe baphendule ngokubhaliweyo ngaphandle kokuba banyanzelwe ziimeko.

Ewe yonke le nto ayiyonxalenye yemigaqo-nkqubo ebhaliweyo yoMbutho, kodwa njengabaFarisi neenkokeli zonqulo zomhla kaYesu, umthetho odluliselwa ngomlomo uthatha indawo ebhaliweyo kuluntu lwe-JW-ubungqina obungaphaya bokuba umoya kaThixo ulahlekile .

Xa ndijonga ngasemva, into ebekufanele ukuba indivusile yayikukucinywa kwelungiselelo leSifundo seNcwadi ngo-2008.[viii]  Sasisoloko sixelelwa ukuba xa kufika intshutshiso, eyona ntlanganiso yayiza kubakho yayiyiSifundo Sencwadi Sebandla kuba sasiqhutyelwa emakhayeni abantu. Izizathu zokwenza oku, bachaza, kungenxa yokunyuka kwamaxabiso egesi, kunye nokusindisa iintsapho ngexesha abalichithe besiya naxa besiya ezintlanganisweni. Bakwathi oku yayikukhulula ubusuku kwisifundo sosapho sasekhaya.

Ukuqiqa kwakungekho ngqiqweni. Kwenziwa amalungiselelo eSifundo Sencwadi ukuze kuncitshiswe ixesha lokuhamba, kuba lalisasazeke kuloo mmandla kwiindawo ezifanelekileyo kunokuba kunyanzelwe bonke ukuba beze kwiholo yoBukumkani esembindini. Kwaye liqala nini ibandla lamaKrestu ukuchitha ubusuku bonqulo ukuze asindise iirandi ezimbalwa ngerhasi?! Ngokubhekisele kubusuku besifundo sosapho, bebeluthatha njengolu lungiselelo olutsha, kodwa belusele lukho kumashumi eminyaka. Ndiye ndaqonda ukuba bayasixokisa, kwaye bengawenzi msebenzi ulunge kakhulu ngayo, kodwa andiboni sizathu sokuba kutheni kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo, ndibamkele ubusuku obukhululekileyo. Abadala basebenza kakhulu, ngoko akukho namnye kuthi okhalazayo ngokuba nexesha lokuzonwabisa ekugqibeleni.

Ndiyakholelwa ngoku esona sizathu siphambili kukuba babenokuqinisa ulawulo. Ukuba uvumela amaqela amancinci amaKrestu alawulwa ngumdala omnye, ngamanye amaxesha uyakutshintshisana ngokukhululekileyo ngezimvo. Ukucinga okubalulekileyo kunokukhula. Kodwa ukuba ugcina onke amadoda amakhulu kunye, abaFarisi banokugcina amapolisa amanye. Ingcinga ezimeleyo iyaphazanyiswa.

Njengokuba iminyaka yayiqengqeleka, i-subconscious part yengqondo yam yazithathela ingqalelo ezi zinto naxa indawo yolwazi yayisilwela ukugcina imeko ikhoyo. Ndifumene ukuphazamiseka ngaphakathi kwam; into endiyiqondayo ngoku ukuba yayisisiqalo se-dissonance yengqondo. Yimeko yengqondo apho iingcinga ezimbini eziphikisanayo zikhona kwaye ziphathwa njengeyinyani, kodwa enye yazo ayamkelekanga kumphathi kwaye kufuneka ibekwe. Njengekhompyuter HAL ukusuka Ngo-2001 i-Space Odyssey, imeko enjalo ayinakuqhubeka ngaphandle kokwenza umonakalo omkhulu kumzimba.

Ukuba ubuzibetha ngenxa yokuba ufana nam ngokuthatha ixesha elide ukuqonda into ebonakala ngathi icacile njengempumlo ebusweni bakho — Musa! Khawucinge ngoSawule waseTarso. Wayelapho eJerusalem ngethuba uYesu wayephilisa abagulayo, evula amehlo eemfama, evusa nabafileyo, kodwa wabugatya ubungqina wabatshutshisa abafundi bakaYesu. Ngoba? Ibhayibhile ithi wafunda ezinyaweni zikaGamaliyeli, utitshala nenkokeli yamaJuda eyaziwayo (IZenzo 22: 3). Ngokusisiseko, "wayenombutho olawulayo" owawumxelela indlela yokucinga.

Wayengqongwe ngabantu abathetha ngazwi-nye, ke ukuhamba kwakhe kolwazi kuncitshiswe kumthombo omnye; njengamaNgqina afumana lonke uqeqesho kwiimpapasho zeWatchtower. USawule wanconywa wathandwa ngabaFarisi ngenzondelelo yakhe kunye nenkxaso esebenzayo kubo, kanye njengokuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo lisithi liyabathanda abo banamalungelo akhethekileyo kuMbutho njengoovulindlela nabadala.

USawule waphinda wahlolisiswa ngaphandle kokucinga ngaphandle kwendalo yakhe ngoqeqesho olwamenza waziva ebaluleke kakhulu kwaye kwamenza ukuba ajongele abanye phantsi njengabadelelekileyo (Yohane 7: 47-49). Kwangokunjalo, amaNgqina aqeqeshelwe ukujonga yonke into kunye nabo bonke abantu abangaphandle kwebandla njengabantu behlabathi kwaye kufanelekile.

Okokugqibela, kuSawule, kwakusoloko kukho uloyiko lokunqunyulwa kuko konke awayekuxabisile ukuba wayeza kuvuma uKrestu (Yohane 9:22). Kwangokunjalo, amaNgqina aphila phantsi kwesoyikiso sokugxothwa ukuba angazibuza elubala iimfundiso zeQumrhu Elilawulayo, nokuba ezo mfundiso zichasene nemiyalelo kaKristu.

Nokuba uSawule wayenamathandabuzo, wayenokusifumana kubani isiluleko? Nawuphi na umntu asebenza naye ngewayemngenise kwinto yokuqala yokunganyaniseki. Kwakhona, imeko eqheleke kakhulu kulo naliphi na iNgqina likaYehova elakha lathandabuza.

Nangona kunjalo, uSawule waseTarso wayengumntu u Yesu awayesazi ukuba uzakulungela umsebenzi wokwandisa iindaba ezilungileyo kwiintlanga. Ufuna nje ukutyhalwa-kwimeko yakhe, ngakumbi ukutyhala okukhulu. Nanga amazwi kaSawule achaza lo msitho:

“Phakathi kwezi nzame ndandihamba ndisinga eDamasko ndinegunya nothumo oluvela kubabingeleli abaziintloko, ndabona emini emaqanda endleleni, kumkani, ukukhanya okungaphaya kokuqaqamba kwelanga kuvela ezulwini kuvela kum malunga nabo bahamba nam. . Sithe ke sakubon 'ukuba siwile sonke emhlabeni, ndeva ilizwi lisithi kum ngolwimi lwesiHebhere, Sawule, Sawule, unditshutshiselani na? Ukuqhubeka ukhaba iimviko kukwenzela nzima. '”(IZe. 26: 12-14)

UYesu wabona into entle kuSawule. Wabona inzondelelo ngenyaniso. Kuyinyani, inzondelelo engeyiyo, kodwa ukuba ikhanyiselwe ekukhanyeni, wayeza kuba sisixhobo esinamandla somsebenzi weNkosi wokuhlanganisa uMzimba kaKristu. Ukanti, uSawule wayexhathisa. Wayekhaba iimviko.

Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu xa wayesithi “ukhaba iimviko”?

Umviko yinto esiyibiza ngokuba kukuqhuba iinkomo. Ngezo mini, babesebenzisa iintonga ezitsolo okanye iimviko ukuhambisa iinkomo. USawule wayekwimeko yokudinwa. Kwelinye icala, zonke izinto awayezazi ngoYesu kunye nabalandeli bakhe zazinjengeenkomo ezifanele ukuba zazimsa kuKristu, kodwa wayeqonda ukuba akabunanzi ubungqina, ekhaba umoya. NjengomFarisi, wayekholelwa ukuba wayekuyo inkolo enye yokwenyaniso. Isikhundla sakhe sasinelungelo kwaye akazange afune ukuphulukana naso. Wayephakathi kwabantu ababemhlonela, bemdumisa. Utshintsho lwaluya kuthetha ukunqandwa ngabahlobo bakhe bangaphambili kwaye ashiye ukuzibandakanya nabo wayefundiswe ukuba abajonge "njengabantu abaqalekisiweyo".

Ngaba loo meko ayikuvumeli?

UYesu wamtyhala uSawule waseTarso ngaphaya kwencopho, waba nguMpostile uPawulos. Kodwa oku kunokwenzeka kuphela kuba uSawule, ngokungafaniyo nesininzi sabaFarisi, wayeyithanda inyaniso. Wayeyithanda kakhulu kangangokuba wayekulungele ukuncama yonke into ngenxa yayo. Yayiyiperile yexabiso eliphakamileyo. Wayecinga ukuba wayenayo inyani, kodwa wathi akufika kuyo wayibona ingeyonyani, yajika yangumgqomo emehlweni akhe. Kulula ukuncama inkunkuma. Senza njalo ngeveki. Ngokwenyani yinto yokujonga nje. (Filipi 3: 8).

Ubukhaba iimviko nje? Bendi. Khange ndivuke ngenxa yombono omangalisayo ka Yesu. Nangona kunjalo, ibikhona imviko ethile endityhaleleyo ngaphaya komphetho. Kwafika ngo-2010 kukhutshwa imfundiso yesizukulwana ehlaziyiweyo eyayilindele ukuba sikholelwe kwisizukulwana esiqhekezayo esinokuhlala ngaphezulu kwenkulungwane yexesha.

Le yayingeyomfundiso nje yobudenge. Kwakungekho zibhalweni ngokucacileyo, kwaye kwakusisithuko kubukrelekrele bomntu. Yayiyinguqulelo yeJW ka "Iimpahla ezintsha zoMlawuli".[ix]   Ngethuba lokuqala, ndaye ndabona ukuba la madoda ayenokwenza nje izinto-izinto zobudenge. Nangona kunjalo, izulu liyakunceda ukuba uyaphikisana nalo.

Ngendlela ebanjelweyo, kufuneka ndibabulele ngayo, kuba bandenze ndazibuza ukuba ingaba le yayiyincam nje yomkhenkce. Uthini ngazo zonke iimfundiso endandicinga ukuba ziyinxalenye “yenyaniso” endaye ndayamkela njengendawo esisiseko ebubhalweni ubomi bam bonke?

Ndabona ukuba andizukufumana iimpendulo kupapasho. Ndidinga ukwandisa imithombo yam yolwazi. Ke, ndimise iwebhusayithi (ngoku, beroeans.net) phantsi kwegama-Meleti Vivlon; IsiGrike esithi "isifundo sebhayibhile" -ukukhusela isazisi. Injongo yayikukufumana amanye amaNgqina anengqondo efanayo ukuze azokuphanda nzulu ngeBhayibhile. Ngelo xesha, ndandisakholelwa ukuba ndikwi "Nyaniso", kodwa ndacinga ukuba sinokuba nezinto ezimbalwa ezingalunganga.

Ngendlela endone ngayo.

Njengomphumo weminyaka eliqela yophando, ndafunda ukuba yonke imfundiso—yonke imfundiso—UmaNgqina kaYehova kuphela ayengavisisani neZibhalo. Abakhange babenalo nelinye ilungelo. Andithethi ngokwala kwabo uBathathu Emnye kunye nesihogo somlilo, kuba izigqibo ezinjalo azifumaneki kumaNgqina kaYehova kuphela. Endaweni yoko, ndibhekisa kwiimfundiso ezinjengobukho bukaKristu obungabonakaliyo ngo-1914, ukumiselwa kweQumrhu Elilawulayo ngo-1919 njengekhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi, inkqubo yalo yokugweba, ukuthintela utofelo-gazi, ezinye izimvu njengabahlobo bakaThixo abangenamlamli , isifungo sokubhaptizwa sokuzahlulela. Zonke ezi mfundiso nezinye ezininzi zibubuxoki.

Ukuvuka kwam akwenzekanga konke ngaxeshanye, kodwa kwabakho umzuzu we-eureka. Ndasokola ne-dissonance ye-cognitive ekhulayo-juggling ezimbini eziphikisanayo iimbono. Kwelinye icala, ndandisazi ukuba zonke ezi mfundiso zibubuxoki; kodwa kwelinye icala, bendisakholelwa ukuba siyinkolo yokwenene. Emuva nangaphambili, ezi ngcinga zimbini zahamba zijikeleza ingqondo yam njengebhola ye-ping pong de ekugqibeleni ndakwazi ukuvuma ukuba andiyonyaniso kwaphela, kwaye andikaze ndibekho. AmaNgqina kaYehova ayengeyonqulo lokwenyaniso. Ndisayikhumbula nangoku indlela endandihlaziyeke ngayo xa ndafikelwa lulwazi. Ndeva umzimba wam uphela kwaye noxolo lwaluzolile kum. Ndandikhululekile! Simahla ngengqondo yokwenyani kwaye okokuqala ebomini bam.

Le yayingeyiyo inkululeko yobuxoki yoburheletyo. Andizange ndizive ndikhululekile ukwenza nantoni na endiyifunayo. Ndandisakholelwa kuThixo, kodwa ngoku ndandimbona njengoBawo. Ndandingaseyinkedama. Ndamkelwa njengomnye umntu. Ndandifumene usapho lwam.

U-Yesu wathi inyaniso iyakusikhulula, kodwa kuphela ukuba sihlala kwiimfundiso zakhe (Yohane 8:31, 32). Ngethuba lokuqala, bendiqala ukuqonda ukuba iimfundiso zakhe zisebenza njani kum njengomntwana kaThixo. AmaNgqina andenza ndakholelwa ukuba ndinokulangazelela ukuba nobuhlobo noThixo, kodwa ngoku ndaye ndabona ukuba indlela yokwamkelwa yayinganqunywanga phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1930, kodwa ivuleleke kubo bonke abakholwa kuYesu Krestu (Yohane 1: 12). Ndafundiswa ukwala isonka newayini; ukuba ndandingafanelekanga. Ngoku ndibonile ukuba xa umntu enokholo kuKrestu kwaye elamkela ixabiso elisindisa ubomi lenyama negazi lakhe, kufuneka athabathe inxaxheba. Ukwenza ngenye indlela kukwala uKristu ngokwakhe.

Icandelo 3: Ukufunda ukucinga

Iyintoni inkululeko kaKristu?

Le yi-crux yayo yonke into. Kuphela kukuqonda kunye nokusebenzisa oku apho ukuvuka kwakho kungakunceda ngokwenene.

Masiqale ngento eyathethwa nguYesu:

"Waza uYesu wahlabela mgama wathi kumaYuda ayemkholelwe:" Ukuba nithe nahlala kulo izwi lam, ngokwenene ningabafundi bam, niya kuyazi inyaniso, yaye inyaniso iya kunikhulula. ” Athi kuye, Thina siyimbewu ka-Abraham; asizanga sibe sebukhobokeni nakubani; Kwenzeka njani ukuba uthi, 'Niya kukhululeka'? ” (UYohane 8: 31-33)

Ngaloo mihla, wawungumJuda okanye oweeNtlanga; nokuba ngumntu onqula uYehova uThixo, okanye umntu okhonza izithixo zobuhedeni. Ukuba amaJuda ayenqula uThixo oyinyaniso ayengakhululekanga, ingaba loo nto ngeyisebenza kumaRoma, amaKorinte kunye nezinye izizwe zobuhedeni? Kwilizwe liphela lelo xesha, ekuphela kwendlela yokuba nenkululeko yokwenene yayikukuyamkela inyaniso kuYesu kwaye siphile ngayo. Kungale ndlela kuphela apho umntu aya kukhululeka kwimpembelelo yamadoda, kuba kungoko kuphela apho aya kuba phantsi kwempembelelo kaThixo. Awunakukhonza iinkosi ezimbini. Nokuba uthobela abantu okanye uthobela uThixo (Luka 16:13).

Ngaba uqaphele ukuba amaYuda ayengazi ukuba ayengamakhoboka? Babecinga ukuba bakhululekile. Akukho mkhonzi ucinga ukuba ukhululekile. AmaJuda elo xesha ayecinga ukuba akhululekile, kwaye ke ayengoyena mntu angabanjwa ziinkokeli zawo. Kunjengokuba uYesu wathi kuthi: “Ukuba ukukhanya okukuwe kububumnyama ngokwenene, bungakanani na ubumnyama obo!” (UMateyu 6:23)

Kwiziteshi zam zeYouTube,[X] Ndinezimvo ezininzi ezihlekisayo kum kuba ndithathe iminyaka engama-40 ukuvuka. Isimanga kukuba abantu abenza la mabango bangamakhoboka njengam. Ekukhuleni kwam, amaKatolika ayengatyi nyama ngolwesiHlanu kwaye engaqheliseli inzala. Kude kube namhla, amakhulu amawaka ababingeleli abanakuthatha umfazi. AmaKatolika alandela amasiko kunye namasiko amaninzi, hayi ngenxa yokuba eyalelwa nguThixo, kodwa ngenxa yokuba bezithobele ukuthanda kwendoda yaseRoma.

Njengokuba ndibhala le nto, uninzi lwamaKristu asisiseko siyixhasa ngenkuthalo indoda eyaziwayo njenge-shyster, umfazi, umkrexezi, noxokayo kuba baxelelwe ngamanye amadoda ukuba ukhethwe nguThixo njengoKoreshi wale mihla. Bayazithoba emadodeni ngoko ke abakhululekanga, kuba iNkosi iyalela abafundi bayo ukuba bangaxubeki nabadibanisi abanjalo (1 Korinte 5: 9-11).

Olu hlobo lobukhoboka alukhawulelwanga kubantu benkolo. UPawulos wayeyimfamekisile kwinyaniso kuba wayefumana ulwazi oluninzi kubantu awayekunye nabo. AmaNgqina kaYehova ngokulinganayo afikelela kwimithombo yawo yolwazi kwiimpapasho nakwiividiyo ezibhalwe yiJW.org. Rhoqo abantu abakwiqela elinye lezopolitiko banokunciphisa umda kulwazi lwabo kwimithombo yeendaba enye. Kukwakho nabantu abangasakholelwa kuThixo kodwa ababambe inzululwazi ukuba ibe ngumthombo wayo yonke inyaniso. Nangona kunjalo, inzululwazi yokwenyani isebenza ngento esiyaziyo, hayi into esicinga ukuba siyayazi. Ukuphatha ithiyori njengenyaniso kuba amadoda afundileyo athi injalo lolunye nje uhlobo lwenkolo eyenziwe ngumntu.

Ukuba ufuna ukukhululeka ngokwenyani, kufuneka uhlale kuKristu. Oku akukho lula. Kulula ukumamela amadoda kwaye wenze le nto uyixelelwayo. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ucinge. Inkululeko yokwenene inzima. Kufuna umgudu.

Khumbula ukuba uYesu wathi kuqala kufuneka 'uhlale elizwini lakhe,' emva koko uya kuyazi inyaniso, kwaye inyaniso iya kukukhulula. (Yohane 8:31, 32)

Awudingi ukuba ube yingqondi ukuze ufeze oku. Kodwa kufuneka ukhuthele. Gcina ingqondo evulekileyo kwaye umamele, kodwa uhlale uqinisekisa. Ungaze uthathe nantoni na umntu ayithethayo, nokuba inokuvakala iyakholisayo kwaye isengqiqweni. Soloko uphinda-phinda kathathu. Siphila kwixesha elingazange libekho embalini apho ulwazi lukho ngokoqobo ezandleni zethu. Musa ukuwela kumgibe wamaNgqina kaYehova ngokuthintela ukuhamba kolwazi ukuya kumthombo omnye. Ukuba umntu ukuxelela ukuba umhlaba uthe tyaba, yiya kwi-Intanethi kwaye ujonge umbono ochaseneyo. Ukuba umntu uthi akukho mkhukula, yiya kwi-Intanethi ukhangele umbono ohlukileyo. Nokuba ungakuxelela ntoni na, musa ukunikezela ngamandla akho okucinga ngokugxekayo nakubani na.

Ibhayibhile isixelela ukuba "siqiniseke ngezinto zonke" kwaye "sibambelele nkqi koko kuhle" (1 Tesalonika 5:21). Inyaniso ilapha phandle, kwaye nje ukuba sifumanise ukuba kufuneka sibambelele kuyo. Kuya kufuneka silumke kwaye sifunde ukucinga nzulu. Yintoni eya kusikhusela njengoko iBhayibhile isitsho:

“Nyana wam, ezi nto mazingemki emehlweni akho. Londoloza ubulumko bobuqili kunye amandla okucinga, Zoba bubomi emphefumlweni, nento entle emqaleni wakho. Kwityala uya kuhamba unqabile; kwindlela yakho, kwaye nonyawo lwakho aluyi kubetha nxamnye nantoni na. Nanini na xa ulala phantsi akuyi kunkwantya; uze ulale phantsi, ubuthongo bakho bube mnandi. Awuyi koyika yayo nantoni na eyoyikisayo ngequbuliso, okanye yesaqhwithi phezu kwabangendawo, kuba iyeza. Kuba uYehova uya kuba yithemba lakho, aze uya kulugcina unyawo lwakho lungabanjiswa. ” (IMizekeliso 3: 21-26)

Loo mazwi, nangona abhalwa kumawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo, ayinyaniso nanamhlanje njengoko ayenjalo ngoko. Umfundi kaKrestu oyinyaniso okhusela amandla akhe okucinga akayi kubanjiswa ngabantu kwaye akazukuva ubunzima sisaqhwithi esiza phezu kwabakhohlakeleyo.

Unalo phambi kwakho ithuba lokuba ngumntwana kaThixo. Indoda okanye umfazi wokomoya emhlabeni onamadoda nabafazi ngokwenyama. Ibhayibhile ithi indoda yokomoya ihlola zonke izinto kodwa ayivavanywa nangubani. Unikwe amandla okubona nzulu kwizinto nokuqonda ubunyani bezinto zonke, kodwa umntu wenyama uyakumjonga umntu wokomoya aze amgwebe gwenxa kuba akaqiqi ngokwasemoyeni kwaye akayiboni inyani (1 kwabaseKorinte 2:14. -16).

Ukuba songeza intsingiselo yamazwi kaYesu sifikelela kwisigqibo esisengqiqweni, siya kubona ukuba ukuba nabani na uyamlahla uYesu, akanakho ukukhululeka. Ke, zimbini kuphela iintlobo zabantu emhlabeni: abo bakhululekile kwaye nabangumoya, kwaye abo bakhotyokisiwe kwaye basenyameni. Nangona kunjalo, aba bamva bacinga ukuba bakhululekile kuba, ngokwasemzimbeni, abanako ukuvavanya zonke izinto njengoko zisenziwa ngumntu wokomoya. Oku kwenza ukuba kube lula ukuphatha umntu ngokwasemzimbeni, kuba uthobela abantu kunokuthobela uThixo. Kwelinye icala, indoda yokomoya ikhululekile kuba ikhoboka leNkosi kwaye ubukhoboka bukaThixo, ngokuhlekisayo, kuphela kwendlela yenkululeko yokwenene. Kungenxa yokuba iNkosi noMphathi wethu akafuni nto kuthi ngaphandle kothando lwethu kwaye ulubuyisa olo thando kakhulu. Ufuna kuphela okona kulungileyo kuthi.

Kumashumi eminyaka ndandicinga ukuba ndiyindoda enomoya, kuba amadoda andixelela ukuba ndinguye. Ngoku ndiyaqonda ukuba bendingenguye. Ndiyabulela kuba iNkosi ibone kufanelekile ukuba indivuse inditsalele kuyo, ngoku yenza njalo nakuwe. Yabona, unkqonkqoza emnyango wakho, kwaye ufuna ukungena ahlale etafileni nawe kwaye atye isidlo sangokuhlwa kunye nawe-isidlo sangokuhlwa seNkosi (IsiTyhilelo 3:20).

Sinesimemo kodwa kuxhomekeke kuthi sonke ukuba sisamkele. Umvuzo wokwenza oko mkhulu kakhulu. Singacinga ukuba sizizidenge ukuzivumela ukuba sikhohliswe ngamadoda ixesha elide, kodwa singaba sisidenge kangakanani ukuba besinokwala isimemo esinje? Uyawuvula umnyango?
