UStephen Lett Uthetha Nelizwi Lomntu Wasemzini

Le vidiyo iza kugxininiswa kuhlelo lukaSeptemba 2022 lwamaNgqina kaYehova olusasazwa nyanga nganye nguStephen Lett weQumrhu Elilawulayo. Usukelo losasazo lwawo lukaSeptemba kukoyisela amaNgqina kaYehova ukuba angamthobeli nabani na othandabuza iimfundiso okanye izenzo zeQumrhu Elilawulayo. Ngokusisiseko, xa kufikwa kwiimfundiso kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yoMbutho, uLett ucela abalandeli bakhe ukuba babhalele iQumrhu Elilawulayo itshekhi engenanto yokomoya. Ukuba ungomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova, akufuneki ubuze, ungathandabuzi, kufuneka ukholelwe kuphela oko ukuxelelwa ngabantu.

Ukukhuthaza esi sigqibo singasekelwanga zibhalweni, uLett ubamba iindinyana ezimbini kwezili-10^th Isahluko sikaYohane, kwaye—njengoko kuqhelekile—ubeka amanye amagama endaweni yawo, kwaye awuwuhoyi umxholo. Iivesi azisebenzisayo zezi:

“Akuba ezikhuphile zonke ezakhe, uhamba phambi kwazo, zize izimvu zimlandele, ngenxa yokuba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe. owasemzini aziyi kumlandela; ziya kusaba kuye; ngokuba azilazi ilizwi labasemzini.” ( Yohane 10:4, 5 )

Ukuba ungumfundi osisilumko, uya kuyiqonda ingcamango yokuba apha uYesu usixelela ukuba izimvu ziva amazwi amabini: Elo ziyalazi, ngoko xa ziliva, zisuka ziqonde ukuba lelomalusi wazo onothando. Zithe zakuva elinye ilizwi, izwi labasemzini, azilazi, ngoko ziyalifulathela elo lizwi. Ingongoma ikukuba ziweva omabini la mazwi zize ziziqonde ngokwazo ukuba ngubani ezimazi njengelizwi lomalusi wokwenyaniso.

Ngoku ukuba uthile—uStephen Lett, owenu ngokwenene, okanye nabani na ongomnye—uthetha ngelizwi lomalusi wenyaniso, ngoko ke izimvu ziya kuqonda ukuba oko kuthethwayo akuphumi mntwini, kodwa kuYesu. Ukuba ubukele le vidiyo efowunini, kwitablet, okanye kwikhompyutha, ayisosixhobo osithembileyo, okanye le ndoda ithetha nawe ngeso sixhobo, kodwa ngumyalezo—ewe, ucinga ukuba uyawazi loo myalezo njengophuma kuwo. kuThixo, hayi ebantwini.

Ngoko umgaqo osengqiqweni ngulo: Musa ukoyika ukuphulaphula naliphi na ilizwi, kuba ngokuphulaphula uya kulazi ilizwi lomalusi omhle yaye uya kulazi nelizwi lowasemzini. Ukuba umntu ukuxelela, ungamameli nabani na ngaphandle kwam, ke, leyo yiflegi ebomvu ebomvu.

Sithini isigidimi esidluliselwayo kolu kusasazo lukaSeptemba 2022 lweJW.org? Siza kumvumela uStephen Lett asixelele.

IZibhalo zamaKristu azithethi ngezimvu zikaYehova. Iigusha zezikaYesu. Ngaba uLett awuyazi loo nto? Ewe kunjalo. Ngoko kutheni utshintshe? Siza kubona ukuba kutheni ekupheleni kwale vidiyo.

Ngoku sonke isihloko sinokubonakala silungile, kodwa konke kuxhomekeke kwindlela esisetyenziswa ngayo. Njengoko siza kubona, iQumrhu Elilawulayo alifuni ukuba umamele amanye amazwi, misela ukuba leliphi na eliphuma eNkosini yethu uYesu kwaye leliphi ilizwi eliphuma kwabasemzini, emva koko ligatye le yokugqibela kwaye lilandele kuphela ilizwi lokwenyani lomalusi wethu. . Oh hayi. UStephen kunye nalo lonke iQumrhu Elilawulayo bafuna ukuba sikhabe ngawo onke amazwi angathethiyo kubo. Usenokucinga ukuba abawuthembi umhlambi wabo ukuba ulazi ilizwi lomalusi wokwenyaniso yaye ngoko babenzela isigqibo. Kodwa oko bekungayi kuba yinyaniso. Ayikukuba abawathembi amaNgqina ukuba alazi ilizwi likaYesu. Ngokuchasene noko. Boyika ukuba uninzi lomhlambi sele luqalisile ukulazi elo lizwi kwaye liyahamba, kwaye lizama ngamandla ukuvala imingxuma kwisikhephe esivuzayo esiyi-JW.org.

Eli lelinye ilinge lokulawula umonakalo liQumrhu Elilawulayo. Phantse iminyaka emibini, amaNgqina ebengayi kwiintlanganiso ezikwiHolo yoBukumkani ngenxa yolu bhubhani. Kubonakala ngathi abaninzi baqalisa ukuthandabuza intobelo emfamekileyo ababeyinikela kubalawuli abazinyulileyo nabangene endaweni kaKristu. Sonke siyazi ukuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo aliyi kuvumela nabani na ukuba ababuze imibuzo. Akukho mntu uyenzayo loo nto ngaphandle kokuba unento ayifihlayo.

UStephen Lett namanye amalungu eQumrhu Elilawulayo bazibanga bengabathanjiswa bakaThixo. Kaloku, ngokuphathelele abo bazibanga bethanjisiwe, sifanele sikhumbule oko uYesu, umthanjiswa wokwenyaniso kaThixo, wakha wasixelela kona: “Kuya kuvela abathanjiswa bobuxoki, nabaprofeti bobuxoki; Baza kwenza izihlabo nemiqondiso emikhulu kangangokuba banokulahlekisa nabanyuliweyo!” ( Mateyu 24:24 2001Translation.org )

Ndenze inani leenkolelo apha. Kodwa ndisezakukunika ubungqina. Ewe, oko kuqala ngoku:

ULett ufunda malunga negusha kabani? Ngaba zizimvu zeQumrhu Elilawulayo? Zizimvu zikaYehova uThixo? Ngokucacileyo, ezi zizimvu zikaYesu Kristu. Kulungile, sonke silungile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Andikaliva ilizwi lomntu endingamaziyo, wena?

U-Lett ulungiselela isithiyelo esifihlakeleyo kwaye atshintshe iqhinga kule vidiyo. UYesu akathi izimvu zakhe ziyaligatya ilizwi labasemzini, kodwa azililandeli ilizwi labasemzini. Ngaba asiyonto inye leyo? Unokucinga njalo, kodwa kukho umahluko ofihlakeleyo aza kuwusebenzisa uLett nje ukuba wamkele isigama sakhe.

Uthi “izimvu ziyaliphulaphula ilizwi lomalusi wazo yaye ziyaligatya ilizwi labasemzini.” Zithini na ke izimvu ukugatya ilizwi labasemzini? Ngaba umntu ofana noStephen Lett uyabaxelela ukuba ngoobani na aba bantu basemzini, okanye ngaba bazibonela ngokwabo oko emva kokuva onke amazwi? ULett ufuna ukholelwe ukuba ekuphela kwento omele uyenze kukumthemba yena namanye amalungu eQumrhu Elilawulayo ukuba bakuxelele ukuba ungamthemba bani. Nangona kunjalo, umzekeliso uza kusebenzisa amanqaku kwindlela eyahlukileyo yokwenza.

“Kodwa, xa umalusi wayezibizile, zafika kwaoko izimvu.”

Xa ndayifundayo, ngoko nangoko ndacinga ngale ngxelo yeBhayibhile: Ngomhla wokuvuswa kukaYesu, ababini kubafundi bakhe babehamba kwidolophana emalunga neekhilomitha ezili-24 ngaphandle kweYerusalem xa uYesu wasondela kubo, kodwa ngendlela ababehamba ngayo. andiqondi. Ngamanye amazwi, wayengumntu ongaziwayo kubo. Ngenxa yobufutshane, andizukufunda yonke i-akhawunti, kodwa nje iinxalenye ezinxulumene nengxoxo yethu. Masiyithabathe kuLuka 17:XNUMX apho uYesu wayethetha khona.

Wathi kubo: “Zizinto zini na ezi nihamba nixoxa ngazo?” Bema ngxi bematshekile ebusweni. Ekuphenduleni lowo ugama linguKleyopa wathi kuye: “Ngaba nawe ungumphambukeli wedwa eYerusalem, ngoko akuzazi nje izinto ezenzekileyo kuyo ngale mihla?” Wathi kubo: "Ziintoni?" Bathi kuye: “Izinto eziphathelele uYesu umNazarete, owaba ngumprofeti onamandla ngomsebenzi nelizwi phambi koThixo nabo bonke abantu nendlela ababingeleli abakhulu nabalawuli bethu abamnikela ngayo kwisigwebo sokufa.”

“Emva kokuva kwabo, uYesu uthi, “Owu nina bangenangqiqo nabantliziyo zizeka kade ukukholelwa kuzo zonke izinto abazithethayo abaprofeti! UKristu ubengamelwe na kukuthi abuve obu bunzima, aze angene eluzukweni lwakhe? Yaye eqalela kuMoses nakubaProfeti bonke wabachazela izinto eziphathelele yena kuzo zonke iZibhalo. Ekugqibeleni basondela kwidolophana ababehamba kuyo, yaye wenza ngokungathi wayehambela phambili. Kodwa bamcinezela, besithi: “Hlala nathi, kuba kuyahlwa, nemini seyimkile.” Wangena ke ukuba ahlale nabo. Yaye njengoko wayengqendeve kunye nabo esidlweni wasithabatha isonka, wasisikelela, wasiqhekeza waza waqalisa ukubanika sona. Ngako oko amehlo abo avuleka ngokupheleleyo baza bamqonda; wathi shwaka kubo. Baza bathi omnye komnye: “Bezingavuthi na iintliziyo zethu njengoko ebethetha nathi endleleni, njengoko ebesityhilela iZibhalo?” ( Luka 24:25-32 ) IZibhalo eziphefumlelweyo zithi:

Uyakubona ukufaneleka? Iintliziyo zabo zazivutha ngenxa yokuba babelazi ilizwi lomalusi nangona bengamboni ngamehlo abo. Ilizwi lomalusi wethu, ilizwi likaYesu, liyavakala nanamhlanje. Isenokuba kwiphepha elishicilelweyo, okanye isenokudluliselwa kuthi ngomlomo. Enoba kuyintoni na, izimvu zikaYesu ziyalazi ilizwi leNkosi yazo. Noko ke, ukuba umbhali okanye isithethi sivakalisa iingcamango zaso, njengoko besenza abaprofeti bobuxoki ukuze balahlekise abanyuliweyo, abanyuliweyo bakaThixo, ngoko nokuba izimvu ziya kuliva ilizwi lomphambukeli aziyi kulilandela.

ULett ubanga ukuba uSathana akasasebenzisi nyoka kwakhona, kodwa oko akuchanekanga ngokupheleleyo. Khumbula ukuba uYesu wabhekisela kubalawuli abangamaYuda, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lakwaSirayeli, njengenzala yamarhamba—iinyoka ezinobuhlungu. IBhayibhile isixelela ukuba uSathana “uhlala ezenza ingelosi yokukhanya.” ( 2 Korinte 11:14 ) yaye yongezelela ngelithi “nabalungiseleli bakhe bazimilise okwabalungiseleli bobulungisa.” ( 2 Korinte 11:15 )

Aba balungiseleli bobulungisa, inzala yamarhamba, banokuthi bambathe iingubo namaqhiya, bazenze abathembekileyo, abaziingqondi; ukubona oko kubalulekile, kodwa yintoni na yiva. Liliphi ilizwi elithethayo? Ngaba lilizwi lomalusi omhle okanye lilizwi lowasemzini ofuna uzuko lwakhe?

Ekubeni izimvu ziyaliqonda ilizwi lomalusi omhle, ngaba akukho ngqiqweni ukuba aba basemzini, aba balungiseleli bobuxoki bobulungisa, basebenzise amaqhinga eedemon ukuze basithintele ekuliphulaphuleni ilizwi lomalusi wethu omhle? Bangasixelela ukuba singaliphulaphuli ilizwi likaYesu Kristu. Babeya kusixelela ukuba sivale iindlebe zethu.

Ngaba bekungayi kuba sengqiqweni ukuba bayenze loo nto? Okanye mhlawumbi bebeya kuxoka baze banyelise nabani na ovakalisa ilizwi leNkosi yethu, kuba bethetha ‘ngendoda ekhohlakeleyo, uSathana uMtyholi.

La maqhinga ayonto intsha. Zibhalwe eSibhalweni ukuze sifunde kuzo. Senza kakuhle ukuqwalasela ingxelo yembali apho liviwa ilizwi lomalusi olungileyo namazwi abasemzini. Tyhila kunye nam kuYohane isahluko 10. Esi sisahluko sinye asandul’ ukufunda kuso uStephen Lett. Wema kwindinyana yesi-5, kodwa siza kufunda ukusuka apho. Kuya kubonakala ngokucacileyo ukuba ngoobani aba basemzini nokuba ngawaphi amaqhinga abawasebenzisayo ukuze bahlale bezirhwebeshela ngokwabo izimvu.

“Lo mzekeliso wawuthetha kubo uYesu, kodwa bona abayiqondanga into awayeyithetha kubo. Ngoko kwakhona uYesu wathi: “Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ndim isango lezimvu. Bonke abo beze endaweni yam ngamasela nabaphangi; ke zona izimvu azibeva. Ndim isango; nabani na ongene ngam uya kusindiswa, yaye uya kungena ephuma, afumane utyani. Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise. Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. Ndim umalusi omhle; umalusi omhle unikezela umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yezimvu. Umqeshwa, ongemalusi, neegusha zingezizo ezakhe, uthi abone ingcuka isiza, azishiye izimvu, asabe; iigusha. Ndim umalusi omhle. Ndiyazazi ezam izimvu, nezimvu zam ziyandazi.”—Yohane 10:6-14.

Ngaba amadoda eQumrhu Elilawulayo, kunye nabo bakhonza phantsi kwalo, ngabalusi bokwenyaniso abaxelisa uYesu Kristu? Okanye ngaba bangabaqeshwa bangamasela nabaphangi na, ababaleka nantoni na esichengeni besiya elufeleni lwabo?

Ekuphela kwendlela yokuphendula loo mbuzo kukujonga imisebenzi yabo. Ndithi kule vidiyo iQumrhu Elilawulayo alize likubhence oko kubizwa ngokuba bubuxoki abathi benza abawexuki ngabo. Bahlala bethetha ngokubanzi. Nangona kunjalo, kanye ngexesha elithile bafumana ngokuthe ngqo ngakumbi kwizinto zabo ngokubanzi njengoko uStephen Lett esenza apha:

Ukuba uyazi ngomntwana oxhaphaza abantwana ngokwesini, uze ume phambi kwejaji ekufunayo ukuba uchaze igama laso saphuli-mthetho, ngaba ubuya kuwathobela amagunya awongamileyo njengoko amaRoma 13 ekuyalela ukuba wenze loo mntu uze uyinikele ematyaleni? Kuthekani ukuba unoluhlu lwabaxhaphazi abaziwayo? Ngaba ubunokuwafihla amagama abo emapoliseni? Kuthekani ukuba unoluhlu olubalelwa kumawaka uze uxelelwe ukuba xa ungalujikiyo, uya kujongelwa phantsi uze uhlawuliswe izigidi zeerandi? Ungayijika ke? Ukuba uyala uze uhlawule ezo zohlwayo usebenzisa imali enikelwe ngabanye ukuze kuxhaswe umsebenzi wokushumayela, ngaba ubuya kukwazi ukuma phambi kwabantu uze uthi nabani na othi ukhusela amadoda axhaphaza abantwana ngokwesini “ulixoki elinempandla? Yiloo nto kanye eyenziwa liQumrhu Elilawulayo yaye lisaqhubeka liyenza, yaye ubungqina buyafumaneka kwi-intanethi obuvela kwimithombo ehloniphekileyo kuye nabani na oyikhathaleleyo. Kutheni bekhusela ezi zaphuli-mthetho kubulungisa?

Umntu oqeshiweyo uxhalabele kuphela ukukhusela isikhumba sakhe. Ufuna ukugcina izinto zakhe kunye nobutyebi bakhe kwaye ukuba kubiza ubomi beegusha ezimbalwa, makube njalo. Akayimelanga into encinci. Akazimiselanga ukubeka yonke into emngciphekweni ukuze asindise omnye. Kungcono abalahle avumele iingcuka zize zibadle.

Abanye baya kuzama ukukhusela uMbutho ngokuthi kukho abantu abahamba ngeenyawo kuwo wonke umbutho kunye nenkolo, kodwa ayisiyiyo ingxaki apha. Umbandela ngowokuba, yintoni abakulungeleyo ukuyenza abo babizwa ngokuba ngabalusi? Ukuba ngaba baqeshwe nje, abayi kubeka nantoni na esichengeni ukuze bakhusele umhlambi. Xa uRhulumente waseOstreliya waseka ikomishini eyayiza kufunda indlela yokusingatha ingxaki yokuxhatshazwa kwabantwana ngokwesini kumaziko elizwe, elinye lala maziko yayingamaNgqina kaYehova. Babiza ilungu leQumrhu Elilawulayo uGeoffrey Jackson owayekwelo lizwe ngelo xesha. Endaweni yokwenza njengomalusi wokwenyani kwaye athathe eli thuba alungise ingxaki yokwenyani kuMbutho, waxokisa igqwetha lakhe enkundleni esithi alinanto yakwenza nemigaqo-nkqubo yombutho ojongene nendlela yokusingatha ukuxhatshazwa kwabantwana ngokwesondo ngaphakathi. ibandla. Wayelapho nje ephethe iinguqulelo. Oko sithetha ngobuxoki obunobuso obunempandla, ndicinga ukuba sisandula ukutyhila i-whipper, awucingi njalo?

Abakomishinala babaziswa obu buxoki kwaye bamnyanzela ukuba eze phambi kwabo, kodwa wabonisa isimo sengqondo seQumrhu Elilawulayo ukuba asingomalusi wenene, kodwa somntu oqeshiweyo onenjongo yokukhusela izinto zabo kuphela, nokuba oko kuthetha ukuba. belahla amatakane eegusha.

Xa umntu ofana nam echaza olu hanahaniso, lenza ntoni iQumrhu Elilawulayo? Baxelisa amaYuda enkulungwane yokuqala awayemchasile uYesu nabafundi bakhe.

“Aphinda ahlukana phakathi amaYuda ngenxa yala mazwi. Abaninzi kubo babesithi: “Unedemon yaye uyageza. Yini na ukuba umphulaphule? Abanye bathi: “La asingawo amazwi omntu onedemon. Idemon ayinako ukuwavula amehlo eemfama, andibi kunjalo?” ( Yohane 10:19-21 ) Idemoni ayinako ukuvula amehlo eemfama, akunjalo?

Babengenako ukumoyisa uYesu ngengqiqo nangenyaniso, basuka bathobela iqhinga lakudala elalisetyenziswa nguSathana lokunyelisa ubuxoki.

“Unedemon. Uthethela uSathana. Uphambene. Ugula ngengqondo.”

Xa abanye babezama ukuqiqa nabo, badanduluka besithi: “Musani ukumphulaphula.” misani iindlebe zenu.

Kulungile, ndicinga ukuba sikulungele ukuqhubeka nokumamela iQumrhu Elilawulayo, lithetha ngelizwi likaStephen Lett. Kodwa makhe sibuye umva nje kancinci ukuze sihlaziye inkumbulo yethu. ULett sele eza kwakha ingxabano yestrawman. Jonga ukuba ungayikhetha na. Icace gca.

Ngaba uStephen Lett ungomnye wabalungiseleli bakaSathana bobulungisa, okanye ngaba uthetha ngelizwi lomalusi olungileyo, uYesu Kristu? UYesu wayengenakuze asebenzise ingxoxo engenamsebenzi. Ngaba uyichongile? Nantsi:

Ngaba ubuya kuyamkela into yokuba sifanele silithembe ikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi elimiselwe nguYesu phezu kwayo yonke impahla yakhe? Kunjalo. Emva kokuba uYesu emisele ikhoboka lakhe phezu kwayo yonke impahla yakhe, elo khoboka linegunya elipheleleyo. Ngoko ke, ubuya kumthemba uze umthobele. Nantso ke indoda. Uyabona, umbandela awukho enoba sifanele silithembe kusini na ikhoboka elithembekileyo, kodwa enoba sifanele silithembe kusini na iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova. UStephen Lett ulindele ukuba abaphulaphuli bakhe bamkele ukuba ezi zimbini ziyalingana. Ulindele ukuba sikholelwe ukuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamiselwa njengekhoboka elithembekileyo ngo-1919. Ngaba wenza naluphi na umzamo wokungqina oko? Hayi! Utsho nje ukuba siyazi ukuba oku kuyinyaniso. Ngaba nathi? Nyhani?? Hayi, asikwenzi oko!

Eneneni, ibango lokuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova lamiselwa ngowe-1919 ukuba libe likhoboka likaKristu elithembekileyo neliyingqondi liyahlekisa. Kutheni ndisitsho nje? Ewe, qwalasela le sicatshulwa kwincwadi yam epapashwe kutshanje:

Ukuba siyakwamkela ukutolikwa kweQumrhu Elilawulayo, kuya kufuneka sigqibe kwelokuba abapostile abalishumi elinesibini bokuqala abenzi ikhoboka kwaye ke abayi kumiselwa phezu kwayo yonke impahla kaKristu. Isigqibo esinjalo sibubudenge nje! Oku kuphindaphindwa: Linye kuphela ikhoboka uYesu Kristu alimisela phezu kwayo yonke impahla yakhe: Ikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi. Ukuba elo khoboka livalelwe kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo ukususela ngowe-1919, ngoko amadoda anjengoJ. abasecaleni bajonge. Hayi, ubuvuvu obunjani la madoda afuna ukholelwe! Sonke sondliwa ngokomoya ngabanye, yaye sonke sinethuba lokubuyisela inkoliseko yomnye umntu xa efuna ukondliwa kokomoya. Sele kuyiminyaka ngoku ndidibana namaKristu athembekileyo, abantwana bokwenyani bakaThixo. Nangona usenokucinga ukuba ndinolwazi oluninzi lwesiBhalo, ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba akupheli neveki ndingekafundi nto intsha kwiintlanganiso zethu. Olunjani lona ukuhlaziya utshintsho oluye lwabakho emva kokunyamezela amashumi eminyaka eentlanganiso ezikruqulayo neziphindaphindwayo kwiHolo yoBukumkani.

IQumrhu Elilawulayo, ngokusebenzisa olu sasazo, likwasenza isithiyelo samandulo. ULett uqala ngokusixelela ukuba sigatye ilizwi labasemzini. Singayamkela loo nto. Nantso isithiyelo. Emva koko utshintshe i-bait ngale nto:

Ininzi into engalunganga ngale nto andazi nokuba mandiqale ngaphi. Okokuqala, phawula ukuba igama elithi “ukholo” alikho kwizicatshulwa. Kungenxa yokuba akukho ndawo eBhayibhileni apho sixelelwa ukuba sikholose ngalo naliphi na ikhoboka, elithembekileyo okanye elinye. Sixelelwa ukuba singawathembi amadoda akwiNdumiso 146:3—ngokukodwa amadoda athi athanjisiwe, nto leyo ethetha ukuba iinkosana zinjalo. Okwesibini, ikhoboka alivakaliswa lithembekile ide ibuye iNkosi kwaye, Andazi ngawe, kodwa andikamboni yena ejikeleza emhlabeni. Ngaba nimbonile uKristu ebuya?

Okokugqibela, le ntetho iphathelele ukwahlula phakathi kwelizwi likaYesu, umalusi omhle, nelizwi labasemzini abangabameli bakaSathana. Asimameli nje amadoda kuba esithi alijelo likaThixo, njengoko lisenza iQumrhu Elilawulayo. Siphulaphula amadoda kuphela ukuba sinokuva ilizwi lomalusi omhle ngawo. Ukuba siva ilizwi labasemzini, siyasaba njengezimvu, kwabo basemzini. Yinto eyenziwa ziigusha; bayabaleka ilizwi okanye amazwi abo bangengabo.

Kunokuba athembele ngenyaniso, uLett ubuyela emva kwiqhinga elalisetyenziswa ngabaFarisi bomhla kaYesu. Uzama ukwenza abaphulaphuli bakhe bamkholelwe ngokusekelwe kwigunya acinga ukuba ulifumene kuThixo, aze asebenzise eso sikhundla sakhe ukujongela phantsi abo bachasa imfundiso yakhe, abo ababiza ngokuba “ngabawexuki”:

“Ngoko amadindala abuyela kubabingeleli abaziintloko nabaFarisi, baza aba bamva bathi kubo: “Kutheni ningamzisanga nje?” Amagosa aphendula athi: “Akuzange kubekho mntu uthetha ngolu hlobo.” Baphendula abaFarisi bathi: “Anilahlekiswanga nani, akunjalo? Akukho namnye kubalawuli okanye kubaFarisi okholiweyo kuye, akunjalo? Kodwa esi sihlwele singawaziyo uMthetho singabantu abaqalekisiweyo.” ( Yohane 7:45-49 )

UStephen Lett akawathembi amaNgqina kaYehova ukuba angaliva ilizwi labasemzini, ngoko kufuneka awaxelele inkangeleko yawo. Yaye ulandela umzekelo wabaFarisi nabalawuli abangamaYuda abachasa uYesu ngokubanyelisa nangokuxelela abaphulaphuli bakhe ukuba bangabaphulaphuli. Khumbula, bathi:

“Unedemon yaye ushiywe ziingqondo. Yini na ukuba umphulaphule? ( Yohane 10:20 )

NjengabaFarisi ababetyhola uYesu ngokuba yiarhente yomtyholi, kunye nomntu ophambeneyo, uStephen Lett usebenzisa igunya lakhe lokuzicingela phezu komhlambi wamaNgqina kaYehova ukugweba bonke abangavumelaniyo naye, nto leyo enokuquka nam. Usibiza ngokuba “ngamaxoki anenkqayi” kwaye uthi sigqwetha izibakala kwaye siyayigqwetha inyaniso.

Kwincwadi yam nakwiwebhusayithi yeBeroean Pickets kunye neSitishi sikaYouTube, ndicela umngeni kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo malunga neemfundiso zemfundiso ezifana nesizukulwana saso esigqugqisayo, ubukho bukaYesu Krestu ngo-1914, i-607 BCE ingenguwo unyaka wokuthinjwa eBhabhiloni, ezinye izimvu njengoko. udidi olungathanjiswanga lobuKristu, nabanye abaninzi. Ukuba ndithetha ngelizwi lomntu wasemzini, kutheni uStefano engayibhentsisi into endiyithethayo njengobuxoki. Ngapha koko, sisebenzisa iBhayibhile enye, akunjalo? Kodwa endaweni yoko, unixelela ukuba ningandiphulaphuli kwanabanye abafana nam. Unyelisa igama lethu kwaye usibiza ngokuba “ngamaxoki anenkqayi,” nabawexuki abagula ngengqondo, yaye unethemba elikhulu lokuba aniyi kumamela oko sikuthethayo, kuba akanakuzithethelela nxamnye noko.

Ewe, bayayenza, uStefano. Umbuzo ngulo: Ngubani lowo uwexuki? Ngubani oxoka ngokuphindaphindiweyo? Ngubani owajija iSibhalo ukususela ngaphambi kokuba ndizalwe? Mhlawumbi kwenziwa ungaqondanga nangona kubonakala kunzima ukukukholelwa oko.

IQumrhu Elilawulayo alikagqibi. Umyalezo abafuna ukuwugqithisa ngowokuba akufuneki sive nelizwi labasemzini. Kufuneka sithembele emadodeni ukuba asixelele ukuba ngoobani abasemzini ukuze singeva ukuba bathini kanye kanye. Kodwa ukuba ubungowasemzini, ukuba ubunenjongo yokuba izimvu zikaYesu zikulandele, kungekhona uYesu, ngaba oko asikuko kanye obuya kuzixelela izimvu? “Sukumamela omnye umntu ngaphandle kwam. Ndiza kukuxelela ukuba ngoobani abasemzini. Ndithembe, kodwa ungathembi mntu wumbi, nditsho nomntu obekukhathalele ubomi bakho bonke, njengonyoko okanye uyihlo.

Uxolo mama, kodwa iJade ebibuza yonke into ihambile, ityiwa luhlobo lolawulo lwengcinga olungenanto yakwenza nobuKristu. nayo yonke into enxulumene nenkolo yokulawula ingqondo.

Qaphela ukuba uthi amabali eendaba akalunganga kwaye anyukile, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba abubuxoki, akunjalo? Ngoku, kwinguqulelo yeSpanish yosasazo, inguqulelo yeSpanish yeJade (Coral) ithi ngokwenene buxoki, “ubuxoki” endaweni yelithi “silahliwe,” kodwa ngesiNgesi ababhali bemibhalo-ngqangi abazichazi kakuhle izibakala.

Qaphela ukuba akamxeleli umhlobo wakhe ukuba ayengantoni na la mabali eendaba, kwaye naba bafazi baselula ngokufanayo abafuni kukwazi. Ukuba la mabali eendaba kunye neewebhsayithi “zowexuko” bezithetha ubuxoki ngenene, kutheni ungabutyhili obo buxoki? Sinye kuphela isizathu esibambekayo sokufihla izibakala. Ndithetha ukuthi, babenokumbonisa njani umama kaJade ebonisa intombi yakhe ubungqina beminyaka eli-10 yeWatch Tower Society enxulumana neZizwe Ezimanyeneyo, uMfanekiso woyikekayo werhamncwa leSityhilelo? Oko kuya kuba kubi, kodwa kungabi yinyani. Okanye kuthekani ukuba umama wakhe ebelane ngamabali eendaba malunga nezigidi zeedola uMbutho uzihlawulayo kumaxhoba okuxhatshazwa kwabantwana ngokwesondo, okanye izohlwayo ezinkulu ekuye kwafuneka bazihlawule ngenxa yokudelela inkundla xa iQumrhu Elilawulayo lalile ukunikezela uluhlu lwalo. amashumi amawaka amagama abarhanelwa nabaziwayo abaxhaphaza abantwana kumagunya awongamileyo? Uyazi, abo amaRoma 13 abhekisela kubo njengomlungiseleli kaThixo wokohlwaya abenzi bobubi? UJade akakwazi ngayo yonke loo nto kuba akazukumamela. Ngokuthobela unikela umva.

Lo ngumzekelo obalaseleyo wendlela abalungiseleli bakaSathana bobulungisa abasijija ngayo isibhalo ngokwenjongo yabo.

Makhe sifunde kuYohane 10:4, 5 yaye apha sibona indlela alindele ukuba abaphulaphuli bakhe bayisebenzise ngayo. Kodwa masingaliphulaphuli ilizwi lakhe, kodwa kunoko ilizwi lomalusi omhle. Masiphinde sifunde uYohane 10, kodwa siza kubandakanya indinyana ethi Lett left out:

“Umgcini-mnyango uyamvulela lowo, yaye izimvu ziyaliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe. Uzibiza ngamagama ezakhe izimvu, azikhokelele phandle. Akuba ezikhuphile zonke ezakhe, uhamba phambi kwazo, zize izimvu zimlandele, ngokuba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe. Owasemzini aziyi kumlandela; ziya kusaba kuye, ngenxa yokuba azilazi ilizwi labasemzini.” ( Yohane 10:3-5 ) Ilizwi labasemzini azisayi kumlandela.

Phulaphula ngenyameko oko kuthethwa nguYesu. Mangaphi amazwi aviwa ziigusha? Mbini. Ziva ilizwi lomalusi nelizwi (isinye) labasemzini. Beva amazwi amabini! Ngoku, ukuba uliNgqina likaYehova elithembekileyo umamele kolu kusasazo lukaSeptemba kwi-JW.org mangaphi amazwi owavayo? Nye. Ewe, inye kuphela. Uxelelwa ukuba ungaphulaphuli naliphi na ilizwi limbi. UJade uboniswa engavumi ukumamela. Ukuba anithanga niphulaphule, yothini na ukwazi ukuba ilizwi elo liphuma kuThixo, nokuba liphuma ebantwini? Akuvumelekanga ukuba ulamkele ilizwi labasemzini, kuba ilizwi lomfokazi likuxelela into omawuyicinge.

UStephen Lett uyakuqinisekisa kumjikelo wakhe, iithowuni ezinomsindo kunye nenkangeleko yobuso bakhe ebaxiweyo ukuba uyakuthanda kwaye uthetha ngelizwi lomalusi olungileyo, kodwa ayisiyiyo kanye le nto anokuthi umlungiseleli oziguqulayo ngezambatho zobulungisa anokuthi? Kwaye akanakukuxelela umlungiseleli onjalo ukuba ungamameli nabani na ongomnye.

Boyika ntoni? Ngaba ufunda inyaniso? Ewe. Yiyo leyo!

Ukwimeko akuyo lo mama…ukuba uzama ukunceda umhlobo okanye ilungu losapho ukuba libone isizathu, kwaye bayala ukwenza njalo. Kukho isisombululo. Le kliphu ilandelayo ibhenca eso sisombululo ngokungazi. Masibukele.

Ukuba umhlobo oliNgqina okanye ilungu lentsapho alifuni kukuphulaphula, ngoko liphulaphule—kodwa kufuneka liphulaphule ngenyameko. Bavumele ukuba bavume ukungqina yonke into ngokusuka kwiSibhalo. Ngokomzekelo, cela umhlobo wakho oliNgqina akucacisele indlela uMateyu 24:34 angqina ngayo ukuba isiphelo sikufuphi. Oko kuya kubenza bachaze isizukulwana esithungelanayo. Babuze, ithi phi iBhayibhile kukho isizukulwana esilandelelanayo?

Yenza oku ngako konke abakufundisayo. "Itsho phi lonto?" kufuneka ibe yintetho yakho. Oku akusosiqinisekiso sempumelelo. Kuya kusebenza kuphela ukuba bafuna ukunqula uThixo ngomoya nangenyaniso (Yohane 4:24). Khumbula ukuba, indinyana kaLett engazange ifundwe, indinyana 3, isixelela ukuba uYesu, umalusi olungileyo, “ubiza ezakhe izimvu ngamagama kwaye ubakhokelela ngaphandle.

Ekuphela kwezimvu ezisabelayo kuYesu zezakhe, yaye uzazi ngamagama.

Ngaphambi kokuvala, ndingathanda ukukubuza umbuzo:

Ngoobani abawexuki bokwenene?

Ngaba wakha wayijonga imbali ebhalwe eZibhalweni?

AmaNgqina kaYehova abhekisela kuhlanga lwakwaSirayeli njengentlangano kaThixo yasemhlabeni yantlandlolo. Kwenzeka ntoni xa bephambuka, nto leyo ababeyenza rhoqo ngendlela eyothusayo?

UYehova uThixo wathumela abaprofeti ukuba babalumkise. Kwaye benza ntoni ngabo baprofeti? Babatshutshisa bababulala. Kungoko uYesu wathi kubalawuli okanye kwiqumrhu elilawulayo lakwaSirayeli, “intlangano kaYehova yasemhlabeni”:

Zinyokandini, nzalandini yamarhamba, nothini na ukuwusaba umgwebo wesihogo? Ngenxa yoko ndithumela kuni abashumayeli nezilumko nabayaleli. Inxenye kubo niya kuyibulala, niyibethelele ezibondeni, nithi inxenye kubo niyityakatye ezindlwini zenu zesikhungu, niyitshutshise kwimizi ngemizi; igazi likaZekariya unyana kaBharakiya, enambulalela phakathi kwengcwele nesibingelelo. ( Mateyu 23:33-35 )

Ngaba ikho into eyatshintshayo kwibandla lamaKristu ukutyhubela iinkulungwane. Hayi! Ibandla lalitshutshisa lize libulale nabani na owayethetha inyaniso, ilizwi lomalusi olungileyo. Kakade ke, iinkokeli zeCawa zababiza abo bakhonzi bakaThixo bangamalungisa ngokuthi, “abawexuki” ‘nabawexuki.

Kutheni le nto sinokucinga ukuba lo mzekelo utshintshile kwibandla lamaNgqina kaYehova? Ayizange ibe njalo. Yilaa ndlela inye siyibonileyo phakathi kukaYesu nabafundi bakhe kwelinye icala kunye “neqela elilawulayo lakwaSirayeli” kwelinye.

UStephen Lett utyhola abachasi bakhe ngokuzama ukuzifunela abalandeli. Ngamanye amazwi, ubatyhola ngokwenza kanye le nto iQumrhu Elilawulayo beliyenza ngalo lonke ixesha: Ukwenza abantu babalandele egameni likaThixo baze baliphathe ilizwi labo ngokungathi livela kuYehova ngokwakhe. Bade bazibize njengejelo likaYehova loNxibelelwano ‘nanjengaBagcini Bemfundiso.

Ngaba uyiphawulile indlela uLett awayesoloko ebhekisela ngayo kwizimvu zikaYehova, nangona uYohane isahluko 10 ebonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba izimvu zezikaYesu? Kutheni iQumrhu Elilawulayo lingagxininisi kuYesu? Kaloku, ukuba ungowasemzini ufuna izimvu zikulandele, akukho ngqiqweni ukutyhila ilizwi lomalusi omhle. Hayi. Kufuneka uthethe ngelizwi lomgunyathi. Uya kuzama ukuqhatha izimvu ngokuxelisa kangangoko unako ilizwi lomalusi wenene kwaye unethemba lokuba aziyi kuwuqaphela umahluko. Oko kuya kusebenza kwizimvu ezingezizo ezomalusi olungileyo. Kodwa ezakhe izimvu aziyi kuqhathwa, kuba uyazazi yaye uzibiza ngamagama.

Ndibiza abahlobo bam bangaphambili be-JW ukuba banganikezeli kuloyiko. Yalani ukumamela ubuxoki obunixabanisa ngakumbi nangakumbi de ningakwazi ukuphefumlela nina. Thandaza ngokunyanisekileyo ucele umoya oyingcwele ukuba ukukhokele ubuyele kwilizwi lomalusi olungileyo!

Musa ukuxhomekeka kumadoda anjengoStephen Lett, akuxelela ukuba umamele wona kuphela. Phulaphula umalusi olungileyo. Amazwi akhe abhalwe phantsi eZibhalweni. Uyandimamela ngoku. Ndiyayibulela loo nto. Kodwa sukuyihamba le nto ndiyithethayo. Kunoko, “Zintanda, musani ukuwakholelwa onke amazwi aphefumlelweyo, kodwa wavavanyeni amazwi aphefumlelweyo ukuze nibone enoba aphuma kuThixo kusini na, ngenxa yokuba baninzi abaprofeti bobuxoki abangene ehlabathini.” ( 1 Yohane 4:1 )

Ngamanye amazwi, kulungele ukuphulaphula onke amazwi kodwa uqinisekise yonke into ngokusuka eSibhalweni ukuze ube nako ukwahlula ilizwi lokwenene lomalusi kwilizwi lobuxoki labasemzini.

Enkosi ngexesha lakho kunye nenkxaso yakho kulo msebenzi.
