Sonke siyazi ukuba "ipropaganda" ithetha ntoni. “Lulwazi, ngokukodwa olunomkhethe okanye olulahlekisayo, olusetyenziselwa ukukhuthaza okanye ukupapasha injongo ethile yezobupolitika okanye imbono ethile.” Kodwa isenokukothusa, njengokuba yenzile nam, ukufunda apho eli gama lisuka khona.

Kanye kwiminyaka engama-400 eyadlulayo, ngowe-1622, uPopu Gregory XV waseka ikomiti yeekhadinali eyayinyamekela ubuvangeli bamazwe angaphandle becawa yamaKatolika eyabizwa ngokuba ziikhadinali. Ibandla lasePopaganda Fide okanye ibandla lokusasaza ukholo.

Eli gama lineetymology yenkolo. Ngokwengqiqo ebanzi, ipropaganda luhlobo oluthile lokuxoka olusetyenziswa ngamadoda ukuhenda abantu ukuba babalandele baze babathobele nokubaxhasa.

Ubuxoki busenokufaniswa nesidlo esimnandi sokutya okuneziyokoyoko. Ibukeka intle, kwaye inencasa entle, kwaye sifuna ukwenza isidlo, kodwa esingayaziyo kukuba ukutya kugalelwe ityhefu esebenza kancinci.

Ukusebenzisa ipropaganda kutyhefa iingqondo zethu.

Sinokuyibona njani into eyiyo ngokwenene? INkosi yethu uYesu ayizange isishiye singenakuzikhusela ukuze silukuhlwe lula ngamaxoki.

“Kuba nenza umthi ube mhle nesiqhamo sawo sibe sihle, okanye nenza umthi ubole nesiqhamo sawo sibe sibi, kuba umthi waziwa ngeziqhamo zawo. Nzalandini yamarhamba, ningathini na ukuba nako ukuthetha izinto ezilungileyo, nikhohlakele nje? Kuba umlomo uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo. Umntu olungileyo ukhupha izinto ezilungileyo kubuncwane bakhe obulungileyo, kanti umntu ongendawo kubuncwane bakhe obungendawo ukhupha izinto ezingendawo. Ndithi ke kuni, Onke amazwi angancedi abawathethayo aya kuphendula ngomhla womgwebo; kuba ngawo amazwi akho uya kuvakaliswa ulilungisa, nangawo amazwi akho uya kugwetyelwa isohlwayo.” ( Mateyu 12:33-37 ) AmaKristu athanjisiweyo aseBhayibhileni abonisa ukuba amazwi aphefumlelweyo abonisa ukuba amazwi alo mthetho abonisa ukuba ‘ugwetyiwe’.

“Nzala yamarhamba”: UYesu uthetha neenkokeli zonqulo zomhla wakhe. Kwezinye iindawo wabafanisa namangcwaba aqatywe mhlophe njengala uwabona apha. Ngaphandle zibonakala zicocekile yaye ziqaqambile kodwa ngaphakathi zizele ngamathambo abantu abafileyo ‘nakulo lonke uhlobo lobunqambi. ( Mateyu 23:27 )

Iinkokeli zonqulo zizinikela kumntu obukele ngenyameko ngamazwi eziwasebenzisayo. UYesu uthi “umlomo uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo.”

Unaloo nto engqondweni, makhe sijonge iSasazo sale nyanga kwi-JW.org njengomzekelo wobuxoki bonqulo. Qaphela umxholo wosasazo.

ISIQENDU 1

Lo ngumxholo oqheleke kakhulu noqhubekayo phakathi kwamaNgqina kaYehova. Ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo, umlomo uthetha. Mninzi kangakanani umxholo womanyano entliziyweni yeQumrhu Elilawulayo?

Ukuskenwa kwazo zonke iimpapasho zeWatchtower ukususela ngowe-1950 kutyhila amanani abangel’ umdla. Igama elithi “manyana” livela izihlandlo ezimalunga nama-20,000 5000. Igama elithi “umanyano” livela malunga nezihlandlo ezingama-360. Loo nto ifikelela kwizihlandlo ezimalunga nama-7 ngonyaka, okanye izihlandlo ezimalunga nesi-XNUMX ngeveki kwiintlanganiso, singabala izihlandlo eliphuma ngazo ilizwi kwiintetho eqongeni. Ngokucacileyo, ukumanyana yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kukholo lwamaNgqina kaYehova, ukholo ekuthiwa lusekelwe eBhayibhileni.

Ekubeni igama elithi “umanyano” libonakala izihlandlo ezimalunga nama-20,000 5,000 kwiimpapasho “nomanyano” malunga nezihlandlo ezingama-XNUMX XNUMX, sinokulindela ukuba iZibhalo ZamaKristu ZesiGrike zibe zivuthiwe ngalo mxholo nokuba loo magama mabini ayeya kubonakala ngokufuthi yaye abonise ugxininiso olunikelwa nguMbutho. ukuya ku. Ke, makhe sijonge, siyakubona.

KwiNew World Translation Reference Bible, igama elithi “united” livela izihlandlo ezihlanu kuphela. Izihlandlo ezihlanu kuphela, indlela engaqhelekanga ngayo. Yaye zimbini kuphela kwezo zihlandlo eziphathelele umanyano ebandleni.

“. . .Ke kaloku ndiyaniyala, bazalwana, ngalo igama leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ukuba nithethe nto-nye nonke, nokuba kungabikho zahlukahlukano kuni; yengqondo.” ( 1 Korinte 1:10 )

“. . .Kuba sazishunyayezwa nathi iindaba ezilungileyo, kwanjengoko kwakunjalo nakubo; kodwa ilizwi eliviweyo alibancedi nganto, ngokuba babengamanywanga ngokholo nabo balivayo.” ( Hebhere 4:2 )

Kulungile, iyamangalisa, akunjalo? Kuthekani ngegama elithi “umanyano” elivela malunga nezihlandlo ezingama-5,000 XNUMX kwiimpapasho. Ngokuqinisekileyo, igama elibalulekileyo kwiimpapasho liya kufumana inkxaso yeZibhalo. “Umanyano” lufumaneka kangaphi kwiNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha? Amaxesha alikhulu? Amashumi amahlanu amaxesha? Izihlandlo ezilishumi? Ndiziva ndibuhlungu njengoAbraham ezama ukwenza uYehova ukuba asisindise isixeko saseSodom. “Ukuba kufunyanwa amadoda alungileyo alishumi esixekweni, ungasisindisa na?” Kaloku, inani lezihlandlo—ngaphandle kwemibhalo esemazantsi yomguquleli—elivela ngalo igama elithi “umanyano” kwiZibhalo ZamaKristu ZesiGrike kwiNew World Translation liyiZERO enkulu, etyebileyo.

Iqumrhu elilawulayo, lisebenzisa iimpapasho, lithetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo yalo, yaye isigidimi salo seso somanyano. NoYesu wathetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo yakhe, kodwa ukumanyana kwakungengomxholo wentshumayelo yakhe. Enyanisweni, usixelela ukuba weza kubangela eyona nto ichaseneyo nomanyano. weza kubangela iyantlukwano.

“. . .Niba ndize kungenisa uxolo na ehlabathini? Ndithi kuni, Hayi, kanye ndisuka ihlukane. ( Luka 12:51 )

Kodwa khawume umzuzu, unokubuza, "Ngaba umanyano alulungile, kwaye alukho ulwahlulo olubi?" Ndingaphendula, konke kuxhomekeke. Ngaba abantu baseNyakatho Korea bamanyene emva kwenkokeli yabo, uKim Jong-un? Ewe! Ngaba yinto entle leyo? Ingaba ucinga ntoni? Ngaba ungathandabuza ubulungisa bobunye besizwe saseNorth Korea, kuba olo manyano alusekelwanga eluthandweni, kodwa lusekelwe kuloyiko?

Ngaba umanyano uMark Sanderson aqhayisa ngalo ngenxa yothando lobuKristu, okanye ngaba lubangelwa kukoyika ukuphetshwa ngenxa yokuba nembono eyahlukileyo kweyeQumrhu Elilawulayo? Sukuphendula ngokukhawuleza. Ycinge.

UMbutho ufuna ukuba ucinge ukuba ngabo kuphela abamanyeneyo, ngelixa bonke abanye bahlukene. Kuyinxalenye yepropaganda yokufumana umhlambi wabo thina ngokuchasene nabo ingqondo.

ISIQENDU 2

Xa ndandiliNgqina likaYehova, ndandikholelwa ukuba okuthethwa nguMark Sanderson apha kububungqina bokuba ndikunqulo lokwenyaniso. Ndandikholelwa ukuba amaNgqina kaYehova ebekho yaye emanyene ukususela kwimihla kaRussell, ukususela ngowe-1879. AmaNgqina kaYehova abakho ngowe-1931. Ukuza kuthi ga ngelo xesha, phantsi kukaRussell ngoko phantsi kukaRutherford, iWatch Tower Bible and Tract Society yayiyinkampani yokushicilela eyayinikela ukhokelo lokomoya kumaqela amaninzi aBafundi beBhayibhile azimeleyo. Ngexesha uRutherford wabeka indawo esembindini yolawulo ngo-1931, yi-25% kuphela yamaqela okuqala asala noRutherford. Kakhulu ngomanyano. Uninzi lwala maqela asekho. Nangona kunjalo, esona sizathu siphambili sokuba uMbutho ungaqhekeki ukusukela ngoko kukuba ngokungafaniyo neeMormon, iiSeventh Day Adventist, amaBhaptizi, kunye namanye amaqela evangeli, amaNgqina anendlela ekhethekileyo yokujongana naye nabani na ongavumelaniyo nobunkokeli. Babahlasela kwasekuqaleni koqhekeko lwabo xa beqala nje ukungavumelani nobunkokeli. Baye bakwazi ukusebenzisa kakubi umthetho weBhayibhile ukuze beyisele wonke umhlambi wabo ukuba ubaphephe abo baphikisayo. Ngaloo ndlela, umanyano abaqhayisa ngalo lufana nomanyano olunanditshwa yinkokeli yaseMntla Korea—umanyano olusekelwe kuloyiko. Le asiyondlela kaKristu, onamandla okoyikisa nokuqinisekisa ukunyaniseka okusekelwe kuloyiko, kodwa akaze awasebenzise loo mandla, kuba uYesu, njengoYise, ufuna ukunyaniseka okusekelwe kuthando.

ISIQENDU 3

Le yindlela umyalezo wepropaganda onokukuhenda ngayo. Oko akuthethayo kuyinyaniso, ukuya kwinqanaba. Leyo yimifanekiso ethandekayo yezizwe ngezizwe yabantu abonwabileyo, ababukekayo kwaye ngokucacileyo banothando omnye komnye. Kodwa eyona nto ibethelelwa ngamandla kukuba onke amaNgqina kaYehova anje yaye akukho nanye indawo ehlabathini apho akhoyo. Awulufumani olu hlobo lomanyano lothando emhlabeni, okanye kwezinye iimvaba zobuKristu, kodwa uya kulufumana naphi na apho uya khona ngaphakathi koMbutho wamaNgqina kaYehova. Asiyonyaniso leyo.

Ilungu leqela lethu lesifundo seBhayibhile lihlala kumda wePoland neUkraine. Ubone iindawo ezininzi zokuphumla eziye zasekwa yimibutho eyahlukeneyo yesisa kunye neyenkolo ukunika inkxaso yokwenyani kubabaleki ababaleka imfazwe. Wabona uluhlu lwabantu kwezi ndawo befumana ukutya, iimpahla, izinto zokuhamba nekhusi. Wabona nendlwana esetwe ngamaNgqina enophawu oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lwe-JW.org, kodwa kwakungekho migca phambi kwayo, kuba loo ndlu yayilungiselelwe amaNgqina kaYehova abaleka imfazwe. Le yinkqubo eqhelekileyo yokusebenza phakathi kwamaNgqina kaYehova. Ndizibonele ngokwam oku amaxesha ngamaxesha kumashumi eminyaka ndiphakathi kombutho. AmaNgqina ayaqhubeka nokusilela ukuthobela umyalelo kaYesu wothando:

“Nivile ukuba kwathiwa, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho, uluthiye utshaba lwakho. Ke mna, ndithi kuni, Qhubekani nizithanda iintshaba zenu, nibathandazele abo banitshutshisayo, ukuze nizingqine ningoonyana boYihlo osemazulwini, ekubeni elenza ilanga lakhe liphume phezu kwabangendawo nabalungileyo. nemvula eyinisa phezu kwabalungisayo nabangengomalungisa; Kuba xa nithanda abo banithandayo, ninamvuzo mni na? Abenzi kwaloo nto na nababuthi berhafu? Yaye ukuba nibulisa abazalwana benu kuphela, yintoni na into engaqhelekanga eniyenzayo? Abenzi kwaloo nto na nabantu beentlanga? Ngako oko nimele nigqibelele, njengoko uYihlo osemazulwini efezekile. ( Mateyu 5:43-48 NWT )

Ewe!

Masicace kwinto ethile. Anditsho ukuba onke amaNgqina kaYehova akanaluthando okanye azingca. Le mifanekiso usandul’ ukuyibona imele ukuba yimbonakaliso yothando lokwenene lobuKristu kwamanye amakholwa. Kukho amaKristu amaninzi alungileyo phakathi kwamaNgqina kaYehova, kanye njengokuba kukho amaKristu amaninzi alungileyo phakathi kwezinye iimvaba zeNgqobhoko. Kodwa kukho umgaqo ongawuhoyiyo zonke iinkokeli zonqulo zazo zonke iimvaba. Ndiqale ndakufunda oku kwiminyaka yam yamashumi amabini, nangona ndisilele ukubona ubungakanani bokusebenza njengoko ndisenza ngoku.

Ndandisandul’ ukushumayela kwilizwe elikuMzantsi Merika eKholombiya yaye ndandimiselwa kwilizwe lakowethu eKhanada. Isebe laseKhanada labiza intlanganiso yabo bonke abadala abakummandla osemazantsi eOntario, yaye sahlanganisana kwiholo enkulu. Ilungiselelo labadala laliselitsha, yaye sasifumana imiyalelo yendlela yokusingatha elo lungiselelo litsha. UDon Mills wesebe laseKhanada wayethetha nathi ngeemeko ezazivela kumabandla awahlukahlukeneyo apho izinto zazingahambi kakuhle. Eli yayilixesha lasemva kowe-1975. Abadala abasandul’ ukumiselwa ngokufuthi babefak’ isandla ekuwohlokeni kwemilinganiselo yokuziphatha ebandleni, kodwa ngokwemvelo babemadolw’ anzima ukujonga ngaphakathi baze babeke ityala. Kunoko, babeza kugxininisa kubazalwana abathile abathembekileyo abasele bekhulile ababesoloko bekhona nabasoloko begxalathelana. UDon Mills wasixelela ukuba singabajongi njengobungqina bokuba senza umsebenzi omhle njengabadala. Wathi abanjalo baya kulunga naphezu kwenu. Andisokuze ndiyilibale loo nto.

Ukumanyana kwiindaba ezilungileyo ozishumayelayo nakuqeqesho olufumanayo asinto yakuzigwagwisa ngayo ukuba iindaba ezilungileyo ozishumayelayo ziziindaba ezilungileyo zobuxoki yaye imfundiso oyifumanayo izele yimfundiso yobuxoki. Ngaba amalungu eecawa zeNgqobhoko akanakuthetha into efanayo? UYesu akazange athi kumSamariyakazi “uThixo unguMoya, nabo bamnqulayo bamele banqule ngomoya nangomanyano.”

ISIQENDU 5

Mark Sanderson kwakhona ukudlala Us vs. Them ikhadi ngokwenza ibango lobuxoki ukuba akukho umanyano ngaphandle kwentlangano yamaNgqina kaYehova. Asiyonyaniso leyo. Ufuna ukuba ukukholelwe oku, kuba usebenzisa umanyano njengophawu lwahlula amaKristu okwenyaniso, kodwa oko kububudenge, yaye ngokuphandle, akuvisisani nezibhalo. Umtyholi umanyene. UKristu ngokwakhe uyakungqina oko.

“. . .Ezazi iingcinga zabo wathi kubo: “Bonke ubukumkani obahlulelene bodwa buyaphanza, nendlu [eyahlulelene] iyawa. Ukuba ke noSathana wahlulelene yedwa, bothini na ukuma ubukumkani bakhe? . .” ( Luka 11:17, 18 )

UbuKristu bokwenyaniso bahlulwa luthando, kodwa kungekhona nje naluphi na uthando. UYesu wathi,

“. . .Ndiniwisela umthetho omtsha, wokuba nithandane; njengokuba ndinithandayo, nani nithandane. Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana.” ( Yoh. 13:34, 35 ) Abazalwana noodadewethu abanothando babonisa ukuba bayamthanda, yaye baya kwazi ukuba ningabafundi bam.

Ngaba uluphawulile uphawu olumfanelekelayo lothando lobuKristu. Kukuba sithandane njengoko uYesu wasithandayo. Yaye usithanda njani.

“. . .Kuba, okunene, uKristu uthe, sakubon' ukuba sisebuthathaka, wabafela abangahloneli Thixo ngexesha elimisiweyo. Kuba kungangenkankulu ukuthi ubani afele ilungisa; kuba uthi mhlawumbi ubani abe nobuganga bokumfela olungileyo; Ke yena uThixo uqondakalisa okwakhe ukusithanda ngokuthi, sakubon’ ukuba sisengaboni, uKristu asifele.” ( Roma 5:6-8 )

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lifuna ukuba amaNgqina agxininise kumanyano, kuba xa kufikelelwa kuthando, awenzi mahluko. Makhe siqwalasele esi sicatshulwa:

ISIQENDU 6

Kuthekani ngabantu abenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwentiyo omnye komnye oluqhutywa lunqulo?

Ukuba ubunokuxelela abadala ukuba into efundiswa ngumbutho ichasene neSibhalo kwaye ubunokungqina oko usebenzisa iBhayibhile, bebeya kwenza ntoni? Baza kwenza onke amaNgqina kaYehova asehlabathini lonke akuphephe. Yiloo nto ababeza kuyenza. Ukuba ubunokuqalisa ukufundisisa iBhayibhile neqela labahlobo, yintoni abaya kuyenza abadala kuwe? Kwakhona, baya kukususa kubudlelane baze benze ukuba bonke abahlobo bakho abangamaNgqina nentsapho ikuphephe. Ayilotyala lentiyo na elo? Oku akuyontelekelelo, njengoko ividiyo yethu yangaphambili ibonisile kwimeko kaDiana waseUtah owayecekiswa kuba engazange ayeke ukuya kwisifundo seBhayibhile esikwi-Intanethi ngaphandle kwamalungiselelo entlangano yeWatch Tower. IQumrhu Elilawulayo liyayithethelela le hambo ilizothe ngesizinzi sokugcina umanyano, kuba umanyano lubaluleke ngakumbi kunothando. Umpostile uYohane akazange avume.

“Yiyo ke le indlela ababonakala ngayo abantwana bakaThixo nabantwana bakaMtyholi: Bonke abangaqhubekiyo besenza ubulungisa abaphumi kuThixo, kwanalowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe. 11 Kuba esi sisigidimi enasivayo kwasekuqalekeni, ukuba sithandane; 12 singabi njengoKayin, owaphuma kulowo ungendawo, wambulala umninawa wakhe. Yaye wambulala ngenxa yantoni? Ngokuba eyakhe imisebenzi ibingendawo, ke yona eyomzalwana wakhe ibiyeyobulungisa.” ( 1 Yohane 3:10-12 )

Ukuba uyamsusa kubudlelane umntu othile ngenxa yokuthetha inyaniso, ufana noKayin. Umbutho awunakutshisa abantu esibondeni, kodwa unokubabulala ngokwasekuhlaleni, yaye ngenxa yokuba bekholelwa ukuba lowo ususiweyo kubudlelane ufanelwe kukufa ngonaphakade eArmagedon, baye babulala ezintliziyweni zabo. Yaye kutheni bemsusa kubudlelane umthandi wenyaniso? Kuba, njengoKayin, “imisebenzi yabo ingendawo, ke yona eyomninawa wabo inobulungisa.”

Ngoku usenokuthi andikho fair. Ngaba iBhayibhile ayibagwebi abo babangela iyantlukwano? Ngamanye amaxesha “ewe,” kodwa ngamanye amaxesha, iyabancoma. Kanye njengomanyano, iyantlukwano imalunga nemeko. Maxa wambi umanyano lubi; ngamanye amaxesha, ukwahlukana kulungile. Khumbula, uYesu wathi, “Niba ndize kungenisa uxolo na ehlabathini? Ndithi kuni, Hayi, kanye ndisuka ihlukane. ( Luka 12:51 NWT )

UMark Sanderson sele eza kubagweba abo babangela iyantlukwano, kodwa njengoko siza kubona, kumntu ocingisisayo, ugqiba kwelokuba aligwebe iQumrhu Elilawulayo. Masimamele size sihlalutye.

ISIQENDU 7

Khumbula ukuba ipropaganda imalunga nokungaqondi kakuhle. Apha uthetha inyaniso, kodwa ngaphandle komongo. Kwabakho iyantlukwano kwibandla laseKorinte. Emva koko ulahlekisa abaphulaphuli bakhe ukuba bacinge ukuba iyantlukwano yaba ngumphumo wokuzingca kwabantu befuna ukuba izinto abazithandayo, izinto eziluncedo zabo neembono zabo zibe yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kunabanye. UPawulos wayebongoza abaseKorinte ukuba bayichase loo nto. Ndiqinisekile ukuba kukho isizathu sokuba uMarko angasifundi itekisi epheleleyo kwabaseKorinte. Ukwenjenjalo akumenzi yena, okanye amanye amalungu eQumrhu Elilawulayo ngendlela efanelekileyo. Masifunde umxholo wangoku:

Kuba ndabhengezwa ngani, bazalwana bam, ngabo [bendlu] kaKhloe, ukuba kukho iimpikiswano phakathi kwenu. Ndithetha oku, kukuba ngamnye wenu uthi: “Mna ndingokaPawulos,” “Kodwa mna ndingoka-Apolo,” “Kodwa mna ndingokaKefas,” “Kodwa mna ndingokaKristu.” UKrestu wahlukene phakathi. UPawulos akazange abethelelwe ngenxa yenu, andibi kunjalo? Okanye nabhaptizelwa egameni likaPawulos na?” ( 1 Korinte 1:11-13 )

Iiyantlukwano neeyantlukwano azizange zibe ngumphumo wokuzingca okanye abantu ngokuzigwagwisa becinezela iimbono zabo kwabanye. Iyantlukwano yaba sisiphumo sokuba amaKristu akhetha ukulandela abantu kungekhona uKrestu. Ayinakunceda uMark Sanderson ukuba achaze ukuba ufuna abantu balandele amadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo endaweni kaKristu.

UPawulos uhlabela mgama eqiqa nabo:

“Uyintoni na, ngoko, uApolo? Ewe, uyintoni uPawulos? Ngabalungiseleli enathi ngabo naba ngamakholwa, njengoko iNkosi yamnikayo ngamnye. Mna ndatyala, uApolo wankcenkcesha, kodwa uThixo wakhulisa; Ngoko ke lowo utyalayo akalutho, nalowo unkcenkceshayo akalutho, oyinto nguThixo lo uhlumisayo. Lowo utyalayo ke, nalowo unkcenkceshayo, banto-nye; kodwa elowo uya kwamkela owakhe umvuzo ngokukokwakhe ukubulaleka. Kuba singabasebenzi abangamadlelane kaThixo. Nina niyintsimi kaThixo elinywayo, nisisakhiwo sikaThixo.” ( 1 Korinte 3:5-9 )

Amadoda awayonto. Ngaba ukho umntu ofana noPawulos namhlanje? Ukuba ubunokuthabatha onke amalungu asibhozo eQumrhu Elilawulayo uze uwadibanise abe lilinye, ngaba ebeya kufana noPawulos? Ngaba baye babhala phantsi kwempefumlelo njengoPawulos? Akunjalo, kodwa uPawulos uthi, wayengumsebénzi olidlelane. Yaye uyabakhalimela abo bebandla laseKorinte abanyule ukulandela yena esikhundleni sikaKristu. Ukuba ukhetha namhlanje ukulandela uKristu endaweni yeQumrhu Elilawulayo, ucinga ukuba uya kuhlala ixesha elingakanani “ukuma okuhle” kwibandla lamaNgqina kaYehova? UPawulos uhlabela mgama eqiqa ngelithi:

“Makungabikho namnye uzikhohlisayo: Ukuba ubani phakathi kwenu uba usisilumko kule nkqubo yezinto, makabe sisidenge, ukuze abe sisilumko. Kuba ubulumko beli hlabathi bubudenge kuye uThixo; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uzibambisa izilumko kubuqhophololo bazo. Yaye kwakhona: “UYehova uyazi ukuba iingcinga zezilumko zibubuvuvu.” Ngoko ke makungabikho namnye uqhayisa ngabantu; kuba zonke izinto zezenu, enoba nguPawulos okanye uApolo okanye uKefas okanye ihlabathi okanye ubomi okanye ukufa okanye izinto ezilapha ngoku okanye izinto ezizayo, zonke izinto zezenu; nani ningabakaKristu; UKristu yena ngokaThixo.” ( 1 Korinte 3:18-23 )

Ukuba uskena uninzi lweenguqulelo zeBhayibhile ezifumaneka kwi-intanethi, njenge biblehub.com, uya kufumanisa ukuba akukho namnye kubo ochaza ikhoboka kuMateyu 24:45 ngokuthi “lithembekile kwaye liyingqondi”, njengoko iNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha isenza. Eyona nguqulelo iqhelekileyo ithi “ukuthembeka nobulumko.” Yaye ngubani oye wasixelela ukuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo ‘likhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi’? Ngani ukuba batsho ngokwabo, akunjalo? Yaye apha uPawulos usixelela, emva kokusiluleka ukuba singalandeli abantu, ukuba “ukuba ubani phakathi kwenu uba usisilumko kule nkqubo yezinto, makabe sisidenge, ukuze abe sisilumko.” IQumrhu Elilawulayo licinga ukuba lilumkile kwaye lisixelela njalo, kodwa lenze iimpazamo ezininzi zobudenge kangangokuba ungacinga ukuba banokufumana ubulumko bokwenyani kumava, kwaye baba nobulumko- kodwa yeha, ayibonakali injalo.

Ngoku ukuba bekukho iQumrhu Elilawulayo ngenkulungwane yokuqala, le meko ngeyayifanelekile ukuba uPawulos alathise ingqalelo yabazalwana baseKorinte kubo—njengoko uMarko esenza rhoqo kule vidiyo. Ngewayethethe le nto besiyiva rhoqo kwimilebe yabadala be-JW: Into enje, “Bazalwana baseKorinte, kufuneka nilandele ulwalathiso lwejelo elisetyenziswa nguYehova namhlanje, iQumrhu Elilawulayo eYerusalem.” Kodwa akenzi njalo. Enyanisweni, akakho naye nawuphi na omnye umbhali weBhayibhile ongumKristu okhe alikhankanye iQumrhu Elilawulayo.

UPawulos uyaligxeka iQumrhu Elilawulayo lanamhlanje. Ubambile njani?

Eqiqa nabaseKorinte esithi bafanele bangalandeli abantu, kodwa balandele uKristu kuphela, uthi: “Nabhaptizelwa na egameni likaPawulos na?” ( 1 Korinte 1:13 )

Xa amaNgqina kaYehova ebhaptiza umntu, amcela ukuba aphendule ngokuvumayo kwimibuzo emibini, owesibini othi “Ngaba uyaqonda ukuba ukubhaptizwa kwakho kuthetha ukuba ungomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova anxulumana nentlangano kaYehova?” Ngokucacileyo, amaNgqina kaYehova abhaptizwa egameni loMbutho.

Ndiye ndabuza iqela lamaNgqina kaYehova lo mbuzo yaye isoloko iphendula inye: “Ukuba ubunokukhetha phakathi kokulandela oko kuthethwa nguYesu okanye oko kuthethwa liQumrhu Elilawulayo, ubuya kukhetha yiphi?” Impendulo liQumrhu Elilawulayo.

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lithetha ngomanyano, ngoxa enyanisweni linetyala lokubangela iyantlukwano kumzimba kaKristu. Kubo, umanyano lufumaneka ngokulandela bona, kungekhona uYesu Kristu. Naluphi na uhlobo lomanyano lobuKristu olungamthobeliyo uYesu lungendawo. Ukuba uyathandabuza ukuba bayakwenza oku, ukuba bazibeka phezu koYesu, qwalasela ubungqina obunikelwa nguMark Sanderson ngokulandelayo.

Landela ulwalathiso oluvela kwintlangano kaYehova. Okokuqala, makhe sijongane negama elithi “ulwalathiso.” Leyo yinkangeleko yemiyalelo. Ukuba awululandeli ulwalathiso loMbutho, uya kutsalelwa kwigumbi elingasemva leholo yoBukumkani uze ululekwe ngokuqatha ngokungathobeli abo bakhokelayo. Ukuba uqhubeka ungalandeli “ulwalathiso,” uya kuphulukana namalungelo. Ukuba uyaqhubeka ungathobeli, uya kugxothwa ebandleni. Umkhombandlela kukuba iJW ithethele imiyalelo, ke masinyaniseke ngoku kwaye siphinde siphinde sithi “Ukuthobela imiyalelo evela kwintlangano kaYehova.” Yintoni umbutho - ayisiyonto eyaziyo. Asiyondlela yobomi. Isuka phi ke le miyalelo? Ivela kumadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo. Ke masiphinde sinyaniseke kwaye siphinde siguqule oku ukuze kufundeke: “Thobela imiyalelo yamadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo.” Ngaloo ndlela ufumana umanyano.

Ngoku xa uPawulos exelela abaseKorinte ukuba bamanyane, uyibeka ngolu hlobo:

“Ke kaloku ndiyanibongoza, bazalwana, ngalo igama leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ukuba nithethe nto-nye nonke, nokuba kungabikho zahlukahlukano kuni; yengqondo.” ( 1 Korinte 1:10 )

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lisebenzisa oko ukuze ligxininise ukuba umanyano uPawulos athetha ngalo lunokufumaneka ‘ngokuthobela imiyalelo yamadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo’ okanye njengoko besitsho, ngokulandela ulwalathiso oluvela kwintlangano kaYehova. Kodwa kuthekani ukuba asiyontlangano kaYehova, kodwa yintlangano yeQumrhu Elilawulayo? Kuthiweni ke ngoko?

Kanye emva kokuba exelele amaKorinte ukuba amanyane engqondweni enye nakwindlela yokucinga…emva nje…uPawulos uchaza into esele siyifundile, kodwa ndiza kuyilungisa kancinane ukusinceda sonke ukuba siyibone ingongoma kaPawulos njengoko injalo. isebenza kwimeko yethu yangoku namhlanje.

“. . .kukho iimbambaniso phakathi kwenu. Eyona nto ndiyithethayo yile, kukuba ngamnye wenu uthi: “Mna ndingowentlangano kaYehova,” “Kodwa mna ndingoweQumrhu Elilawulayo,” “Mna ndingokaKristu.” Wahlulelene na uKristu? IQumrhu Elilawulayo alibulawanga esibondeni ngenxa yakho, akunjalo? Okanye ngaba wabhaptizwa egameni loMbutho?” ( 1 Korinte 1:11-13 )

Ingongoma kaPawulos yeyokuba sonke sifanele silandele uYesu Kristu yaye sonke simele simthobele. Ukanti, xa encoma imfuneko yomanyano, ngaba uMark Sanderson ukudwelisa oko njengengongoma yakhe yokuqala nebalulekileyo—imfuneko yokulandela ulwalathiso lukaYesu Kristu, okanye imfuneko yokuthobela imiyalelo eseBhayibhileni? Hayi! Ugxininiso lwakhe kukulandela amadoda. Wenza kanye le nto agxeka abanye ngokuyenza kule vidiyo.

Ngokusekelwe kubungqina, ocinga ukuba ngoobani abawakhathalele ngakumbi amalungelo, ikratshi neembono zabo kwibandla lamaNgqina kaYehova?

Xa amayeza okugonya i-COVID aye afumaneka, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lanika “ulwalathiso” lokuba onke amaNgqina kaYehova afanele agonywe. Ngoku lo ngumba ophikisanayo, kwaye andizukuyilinganisa kwelinye icala okanye kwelinye. Ndiye ndagonywa, kodwa ndinabahlobo abasenyongweni abangagonywanga. Ingongoma endiyithethayo kukuba umntu ngamnye azenzele isigqibo. Okulungileyo okanye okubi, ukhetho lobuqu. UYesu Kristu unelungelo negunya lokundixelela ukuba ndenze okuthile kwaye ulindele ukuba ndithobele, nokuba andifuni. Kodwa akukho mntu unalo elo gunya, ukanti iQumrhu Elilawulayo liyakholelwa ukuba linalo. Ikholelwa ukuba ulwalathiso okanye imiyalelo eyikhuphayo ivela kuYehova, kuba isebenza njengejelo lakhe, ngoxa ijelo lokwenene elisetyenziswa nguYehova inguYesu Kristu.

Ngoko ke umanyano abalukhuthazayo asilulo umanyano noKristu, kodwa lumanyano phakathi kwabantu. Bazalwana noodade kwintlangano yamaNgqina kaYehova, eli lixesha lovavanyo. Ukunyaniseka kwakho kuvavanywa. Kukho iyantlukwano ebandleni. Kwelinye icala, kukho abo balandela amadoda, amadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo, yaye kwelinye, ngabo bathobela uKristu. Ungubani wena? Khumbula amazwi kaYesu athi: Othe wandivuma phambi kwabantu, ndiya kumvuma nam phambi koBawo osemazulwini. ( Mateyu 10:32 )
