INtlanganiso Yonyaka Yowama-2023, Icandelo lesi-6: Ngaba UThixo Wayengenakuligweba Njani IQumrhu Elilawulayo Ngokusoloko Lixoka?

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, nonke kufuneka nikwazi ukuqala nge-1 kaNovemba^st walo nyaka, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova liye lawurhoxisa umqathango wokuba abavakalisi bebandla bafake ingxelo yomsebenzi wabo wokushumayela wenyanga nganye. Esi sibhengezo besiyinxalenye yenkqubo yentlanganiso yonyaka ka-2023 ngo-Okthobha ekuzinyaswe ngayo kuphela zii-JWs ezinelungelo. Ngokuqhelekileyo, inkcazelo ekhutshwa kwintlanganiso yonyaka ayinikeli ezandleni zabantu abakwi-JW de kube nguSasazo lukaJanuwari olukwi-JW.org, kodwa kulo nyaka, kukho iintetho ezimbalwa eziphuma kucwangciso lweentlanganiso zonyaka. zakhutshwa kuSasazo lukaNovemba.

Ukuba awumbonanga uSamuel Herd esenza esi sibhengezo, nantsi:

Kuluvuyo ukunazisa ukuba ukuqala ngoNovemba woku-1^st, ngowama-2023, abavakalisi bebandla abasayi kuphinda bacelwe ukuba bafake ingxelo yexesha abalichitha entsimini. Nabavakalisi abayi kucelwa ukuba bachaze izinto abazihambisileyo, iividiyo abazibonisayo, okanye amabuyelo abo. Kunoko, ingxelo yenkonzo yasentsimini iya kuba nebhokisi eya kuvumela umvakalisi ngamnye ukuba abonise ukuba uye wanesabelo kulo naluphi na uhlobo lobulungiseleli.

Isibhengezo sikaHerd asilotshintsho oluncinci lolawulo oluhlala lusenzeka kwimigaqo-nkqubo kunye neenkqubo zalo naliphi na iqumrhu elikhulu lezizwe ngezizwe. Oku kuyingxaki enkulu kuluntu lwamaNgqina kaYehova, eyona nto iboniswa yindlela abaphulaphuli abasabela ngayo kwiindaba.

Ewe, bazalwana noodade, ayikhange ibe yinkqubo emangalisayo le? Ngokwenene olu lusuku oluyimbali kwimbali yamaNgqina kaYehova.

"Inkqubo emangalisayo"? Ngaba lusuku olubalulekileyo kwimbali yamaNgqina kaYehova?

Ngoba? Kutheni kumangalisa nje oku? Kutheni iyimbali nje?

Ngokusekwe kwintswahla yezandla echulumancisayo, abaphulaphuli bonwabe ngendlela engathethekiyo ngesi sibhengezo, kodwa ngoba?

Ngaba wakha waphathwa yintloko ebuhlungu okanye ezinye iintlungu ezingapheliyo ezingayekiyo? Kodwa emva koko, ngaphandle kweblue, iyahamba. Uziva njani? Ubungonwabanga yintlungu, kodwa uqinisekile ukuba iphelile, akunjalo?

Kwinkoliso yamaNgqina kaYehova, esi saziso siya kwamkelwa ngovuyo ngenxa yokuba inkalo enzima yonqulo lwawo iye yashenxiswa ekugqibeleni yaye kuthabathe ngaphezu kwenkulungwane kuphela ukuba yenzeke.

Umntu ongazange aphile njengomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova usenokungayiqondi intsingiselo yolu tshintsho. Kumntu ongaphandle, kunokubonakala ngathi lutshintsho oluncinci lomgaqo-nkqubo wolawulo. Ngapha koko, yingxelo nje elula eyenziwa kanye ngenyanga. Ngoko kutheni yonke loo hoopla? Ekuphenduleni, mandikuthabathe kuhambo olufutshane lokuhlisa inkumbulo.

Xa ndandineminyaka eli-10 ubudala, intsapho yakowethu yaya kuma-24^th iholo yoBukumkani yesitrato eHamilton, eOntario, eKhanada. Kudonga olukufuphi neqonga kwakukho ibhodi efana nale ekwakuxhonywe kuyo ingxelo yenyanga yebandla echaza iiyure, ukubekwa kwazo nomlinganiselo webandla. Ukuba inkumbulo ibalulekile, ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1950, usukelo lwenyanga lomvakalisi ngamnye yayikukusebenza iiyure ezili-12 kumsebenzi wokushumayela, ukuhambisa amaphephancwadi ali-12, ukubuyela izihlandlo ezi-6 (“ngokubuyela”) nokuqhuba isifundo seBhayibhile esinye. Ngexesha elithile, imfuneko yeyure yehliswa ukuya kwiiyure ze-1 ngenyanga.

Inye into ekufuneka uyithathele ingqalelo kwezi tshathi kukuba zombini ziqala ngoSeptemba, hayi ngoJanuwari. Kungenxa yokuba unyaka-mali weWatch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania uqala ngoSeptemba ukusa kuAgasti. Yiloo nto intlanganiso yonyaka iba ngo-Oktobha wonyaka ngamnye. Ibhodi yabalawuli kufuneka idibane kanye ngonyaka ngommiselo we-corporate charter. Unqulo lwamaNgqina kaYehova luyimveliso yentlangano.

Ukubaluleka kokugcina umkhondo weendawo ezibekiweyo, iiyure ezichithiweyo, kunye nokuthotyelwa kweenkqubo zeshishini kwaye kuye kwanyanzeliswa kangangamashumi eminyaka lutyelelo lwesiqingatha sonyaka loMveleli weSekethe—nangona ngeminyaka yee-1950, babebizwa ngokuba “ngaBasebenzi beSekethe.” Babedla ngokuza kuphicotha iiakhawunti zebandla baze bahlole imeko “yokomoya” yamabandla eyayisekelwe ekubeni ayasifikelela kusini na isixa salo seeyure kumsebenzi wokushumayela nenani leempapasho ezihanjisiweyo nezifundo zeBhayibhile eziqhutywayo. Ukuba bekungenjalo—yaye ngokuqhelekileyo bekungenjalo—ibandla beliya kunikelwa intetho “ekhuthazayo” esekelwe okanye elungiselelwe ukwenza wonk’ ubani azive enetyala kuba ebengenzi ngokwaneleyo ukusindisa ubomi.

Kakade ke, sasisoloko sikhunjuzwa ukuba isiphelo sasisondele, yaye ubomi babantu babusengozini. Ukuba asizange siphume sishumayele, abantu abasenokuba basinde ekufeni okungunaphakade eArmagedon bebeya kuphoswa yaye igazi labo beliya kuba sezandleni zethu. ( w81 2/1 20-22 ) Sashukunyiselwa ukuba sizabalazele ukufikelela “amalungelo” angakumbi “kwinkonzo kaYehova”. ‘Sakhuthazwa’ ukuba sizincame ukuze sikhonze uYehova. Konke oku bekungasekelwanga kumzekelo wothando wobuKristu awawuvezayo uYesu, kodwa kumzekelo wequmrhu leWatchtower Society.

AmaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala ayeshumayela ngothando. KumaNgqina kaYehova, umsebenzi wokushumayela ubandakanya ukuzincama. Ibinzana elithi “ukuzincama” livela ngaphezu kwezihlandlo eziliwaka kwiimpapasho zeWatch Tower ezabhalwa emva phayaa ngowe-1950, kodwa aliveli nakanye eBhayibhileni, kwanakwiNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha. Yicinge loo nto!

Ndandikwiminyaka yam yamashumi amabini xa ndamiselwa njengomdala. Kwakulindeleke ukuba sibe ngumzekelo ngokuchitha iiyure ezingakumbi kumsebenzi wokushumayela kunomlinganiselo webandla. Ukuba umdala ebenokwehla ngaphantsi komlinganiselo webandla, umveleli wesiphaluka usenokuncomela ukuba ashenxiswe. Ndagula emva kweminyaka yee-80s ndaye ndasuswa njengomdala ndade ndabangcono ndafumana i-avareji yam yenyanga.

Iiyure kunye nokubekwa kwazo zigcinwe kwiKhadi leRekhodi yoMpapashi iminyaka ilandelelana. Ukuze ndibonise ukubaluleka kwezi ngxelo zexesha elide zomsebenzi wokushumayela, ndiza kusa kwiminyaka yam yokugqibela njengomdala wamaNgqina kaYehova. Isebe laseKhanada landimisela kwisikhundla seCOBE—uMnxibelelanisi weQumrhu Labadala. Ngoko, yayingumsebenzi wam ukuba ngusihlalo kwiintlanganiso zabadala.

Kabini ngonyaka, ngaphambi kotyelelo lomveleli wesiphaluka, sasihlanganisana ukuze sixubushe abo baza kumiselwa njengezicaka zolungiselelo okanye abadala. Abadala abahlukahlukeneyo babedla ngokubhala igama lomzalwana othile abavakalelwa kukuba ufanelekile. Ngokungaphephekiyo, ubani wayedla ngokukhupha iBhayibhile yakhe ukuze ahlolisise iimfaneleko zalowo uza kubhaptizwa esekelwe kweyoku- 1 kuTimoti 3:1-10 nakuTito 1:5-9 .

Ndandidla ngokwenza into efanayo xa ndandiselula yaye ndingazinzanga, kodwa ngelo xesha ndandisele ndiseluhambeni lolonwabo kangangokuba ndazi ukuba yinkcitha-xesha ukuqalisa ngeemfaneleko zokomoya zomzalwana. Ndandiye ndibamise abazalwana ndize ndibaxelele ukuba baqale bajonge amakhadi erekhodi yaloo ndoda. Ndandisazi ngokusuka kumava endiwazuze nzima ukuba iiyure zakhe bezingaphantsi kwemilinganiselo, akunamsebenzi ukuba ziziphi iziqinisekiso zakhe zokomoya. Umveleli Wesiphaluka akanakuncomela umvakalisi ongaphantsi komlinganiselo. Enyanisweni, kwanokuba iiyure zakhe bezilungile, ebengayi kunconyelwa ngaphandle kokuba umfazi nabantwana bakhe bebengabavakalisi abakhutheleyo abaneeyure ezininzi.

Kunzima ukuwuthelekelela umthwalo onzima ngokwasengqondweni othi uhlobo olunjalo lonqulo olukhuphisanayo, olusekelwe kumsebenzi oluwubeka emntwini. Amalungu ebandla asoloko evakalelwa kukuba awenzi ngokwaneleyo. Ukuba bafanele babenze lula ubomi babo ukuze bamenzele okungakumbi uYehova, nto leyo eneneni, ukwenza okungakumbi kuMbutho.

Ukuba bayadinwa kulo lonke uxinezeleko baze babuye umva, bajongwa njengababuthathaka kungekhona ngokomoya. Benziwa bazive ngathi basengozini yokuphulukana nobomi obungunaphakade. Ukuba bathatha isigqibo sokuwushiya uMbutho, baya kunqunyulwa kulo lonke uluntu lwabo lwenkxaso. Kuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo lifundisa imfundiso yobuxoki yokuba bonke abangengabo i-JWs baya kufa ngonaphakade eArmagedon, abavakalisi abangamaKristu abanyanisekileyo bakholelwa ukuba ukuba abakwenzi konke abanokukwenza nangaphezulu, baya kugwetywa njengegazi ngenxa yokungasindisi imiphefumlo. oko ngekwakusindile ukuba nje ubani wayeshumayele kubo.

Umnqa kukuba saxelelwa ngaxeshanye ukuba silandela uYesu owathi “…idyokhwe yam yeyobubele nomthwalo wam ukhaphukhaphu.” ( Mateyu 11:30 )

Oku kwakusixelelwa ngokufuthi kangangokuba asizange siqonde ukuba umthwalo nomthwalo esasiwuthwele wawungaveli kuKristu, kodwa wawuphuma kubantu ababeziphatha njengeenkokeli zamaYuda, ababhali nabaFarisi, abo uYesu wabagxekayo esithi: “Babopha imithwalo enzima, besenza izinto ezingento. bazibeka emagxeni abantu, kodwa bona abafuni kuyishukumisa nangomnwe lo wabo. ( Mateyu 23:4 )

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lithwalise umndilili wamaNgqina kaYehova ngalo mthwalo unzima ngaphezu kwenkulungwane, ngoko iyadida ukuba kutheni ngoku, emva kwalo lonke eli xesha, bewususa?!

Bamele bayiqonde indlela embi ngayo le nto. Bawuphumeza lo myalelo emva phayaa ngowe-1920, unyaka emva kokuba besithi bamiselwe njengekhoboka likaKristu elithembekileyo neliyingqondi. Ngoko, ukuba ngokwenene bakhokelwa nguYehova, kutheni kuthabathe iminyaka eli-103 ukuqonda ukuba babewuthwalisa umthwalo onzima umhlambi njengoko babesenza abaFarisi?

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lifanele libeke ityala komnye umntu. Abanakuyivuma inyaniso yokuba ngabo kuphela abajongene nalo mthwalo unzima nocinezelayo. Kodwa akakho omnye umntu obekek’ ityala, ngaphandle koYehova uThixo, ngaba ukho?

Okokuqala, sixelelwe nguGage Fleegle kwintetho eyandulelayo esiye sayigubungela kwividiyo yethu yokugqibela ukuba olu tshintsho ngokwenene lwenziwa ngothando, kuba uYehova uThixo uyasithanda, yaye ulungiselela uMbutho wakhe ngothando nangokuyintabalala. Ngoku, kule vidiyo, siza kuxubusha intetho elandelayo, enikelwa nguGerrit Losch, oya kuzama ukusibonisa indlela umsebenzi wokushumayela kwindlu ngendlu uselilungiselelo leBhayibhile elisekelwe kumthetho wokunikela ngezishumi kuMthetho kaMoses. Umnqophiso.

Imbono yabo yeyokuba ukuba siyayamkela yonke loo nto, asiyi kucinga kakubi ngabo ngokusithwalisa lo mthwalo unzima ubomi bethu bonke, kuba “ubuvela kuYehova”. Ngoko, akukho mfuneko yokuba bacele uxolo. Abenzanga nto imbi.

Asinazintloni ngohlengahlengiso olwenziwayo, okanye… luxolo olufunekayo ngenxa yokungalufumani kakuhle ngaphambili.

Ukuba ungomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kulwamkela olu tshintsho, njengoko bendiya kwenjenjalo, ukuba belufike ngexesha endandiseyisekile kukuba ndikunqulo olunye lokwenyaniso emhlabeni. Kodwa musani ukuqhatheka. Ukuhanahanisa olu tshintsho kutyhilwa kuyo yonke indawo. Masithathele ingqalelo intetho kaGerrit Losch ekhokelela kwesi siganeko sibizwa ngokuba “sisiganeko esimangalisayo nesembali”.

Kamva kwimbali yoluntu uYehova wadala uhlanga lwakwaSirayeli waza walunika ilizwe elihle elizaliswe zizinto ezilungileyo. AmaSirayeli ayenokubonisa njani uxabiso lwawo? Kwakhona uYehova wanika abantu bakhe ithuba lokunikela, kule meko wabayalela ukuba banikele ngezishumi. Yintoni leya? Ukukhupha isishumi kuthetha ukunika isishumi kwinto ethile. AmaSirayeli ayemele anike uYehova isishumi sayo yonke imveliso nezilwanyana zawo.

Ngoko makhe sibuze lo mbuzo ubalulekileyo: Isishumi sidibana ngantoni kwaSirayeli nomsebenzi wokushumayela wamaNgqina kaYehova? Ah, kuyahlekisa kufuneka ubuze. Oku kuya kwinqanaba lam malunga nokuhanahanisa. ULosch sele eza kusebenzisa iqhinga eliye lasetyenziswa ziinkokeli zonqulo ukutyhubela iinkulungwane ukuthethelela imigaqo yazo egameni likaThixo. Igama elisesikweni lento aza kuyidala luhlobo/ubudlelwane bomfuziselo. Sele eza kukhetha into ethile eBhayibhileni aze athi ivisisana noko amaNgqina kaYehova axelelwa ukuba ayenze. Olo hlobo ngumthetho wamaSirayeli wokunikela ngesishumi. Ukunika i-10% yengeniso yakho. Oko kwakufuziselwa lixesha amaNgqina alichitha eshumayela. Uyabona: Uhlobo kunye ne-Antitype.

Kakade ke, akawasebenzisi loo magama kuba kwintlanganiso yonyaka ka-2014, uDavid Splane waxelela wonke umntu ukuba amaNgqina akasakwenzi oko. Wathi ukuba umfuziselo onjalo/unxulumano lomfuziselo aluchazwanga ngokucacileyo eBhayibhileni, ngoko ukwenza ukuba ubani “udlulele ngaphaya koko kubhaliweyo” (1 Korinte 4:6). Yinto embi leyo, akunjalo?

Kubonakala ngathi kusafuneka bekwenzile oku ukuzama ukubanga ukuba oko bafuna ukuba amaNgqina akwenze ngokwenene koko uThixo afuna akwenze. Ke, kusafuneka babuyele kuhlobo/umfuziselo wequla lokukha amanzi, kodwa banethemba lokuba awuzukuqaphela, kuba abasasebenzisi isigama somfuziselo kwakhona.

Kodwa uhanahaniso alupheleli apho.

Kubonakala ukuba amaSirayeli kwakufuneka abekele bucala isishumi esongezelelekileyo ukuze ahlawule iindleko zokuya kwimithendeleko emithathu yezizwe kaYehova. Rhoqo ngonyaka wesithathu nowesithandathu, le mali yayinikwa abaLevi, abaphambukeli, abahlolokazi neenkedama ekuhlaleni.

Kwakhona khawuthelekelele indlela abo babexhwalekile, abaphambukeli, abahlolokazi neenkedama ababelixabisa ngayo eli lungiselelo lothando. 

Wowu! Ilungiselelo elimiselwe nguYehova uThixo lokunyamekela iintswelo zamahlwempu, abahlolokazi nabantwana abangenayise. Ke, kufuneka sikholelwe ukuba kukho ubudlelwane phakathi kwesishumi kunye nomsebenzi wokushumayela weJW, kodwa luphi ubudlelwane babo phakathi kwesishumi kunye nokubonelela amahlwempu? AmaNgqina kaYehova ayazingca ngokuba nolungelelwano. Abazibizi njengecawa, kunoko, bayintlangano kaYehova. Ngoko kutheni kungekho lungiselelo lilungelelanisiweyo lokunyamekela abahlolokazi, iinkedama (iinkedama) namahlwempu? Enyanisweni, kutheni amaqumrhu abadala bebandla ekhuthazwa ngamandla ukuba amisele imibutho yokunceda?

Usenokuba ukhe weva ngomkhwa wokuvunwa kweevesi. Ibhekisa kubuchule bokukhetha indinyana enye ngaphandle komxholo kwaye ibango ithetha into engayithethiyo. Apha, bakhetha into ethile kwikhowudi yomthetho kwaye bayibanga ifanekisela into abayenzayo namhlanje. Kodwa abawunanzi umongo. Ukuba isishumi sifuzisela umsebenzi wokushumayela, ngaba isishumi samahlwempu, abahlolokazi nabantwana abangenayise asifanele sifanekisele uqheliselo oluthile lwamaNgqina kaYehova?

Isishumi yayingumgaqo osesikweni nolungelelanisiweyo womthetho. UMbutho wamaNgqina kaYehova uqhayisa ngokulungelelaniswa kwawo. Ke, yeyiphi inkqubo ecwangcisiweyo enayo yokubonelela ngenceba kwabo basweleyo, amahlwempu, abahlolokazi abasweleyo neenkedama?

Ukuba isishumi singqamana nomsebenzi olungelelanisiweyo wokushumayela, ngaba ilungiselelo lesishumi alifanele lingqamane nelungiselelo lokunikela elilungelelanisiweyo leWatch Tower Society?

Nangona ingongoma eyintloko kaLosch ikukufanisa isishumi phantsi koMthetho kaMoses nokunikela ixesha kumsebenzi wokushumayela wamaNgqina kaYehova, ngokuqinisekileyo akayi kuliyeka ithuba lokukhumbuza umhlambi ngemfuneko yokunikela ngemali.

Kakade ke, namhlanje asisekho phantsi komthetho kaMoses kunye nemfuneko yawo yesishumi. Kunokuba siyalelwe ukuba sinikele inxalenye ye-10 kwingeniso yethu, eyesi- 2 kwabaseKorinte isahluko 9 indinyana 7 ithi, “Ngamnye makenze kanye njengoko egqibile entliziyweni yakhe, kungekhona ngokukrokra okanye ngokunyanzelwa, kuba uThixo uthanda umphi ochwayitileyo.”

Oku kwakunjalo ngaxa lithile kumabandla amaNgqina kaYehova. Iminikelo yayingenziwa ngokunyanzelwa. Oko kwatshintsha ngo-2014 xa uMbutho waqalisa ukucela izibhambathiso zenyanga nganye, ucela umvakalisi ngamnye ukuba anikele ngexabiso elincinane eliye lasebenza kwilizwe ngalinye. Ngoku, eUnited States, loo mali yi-R8.25 ngomvakalisi ngamnye ngenyanga. Ngoko, abazali abanabantwana abathathu abangabavakalisi baya kucelwa ukuba bahlawule ubuncinane ii-R41.25 nyanga nganye.

Kodwa masingaphazamiseki kumxholo wethu ophambili othi uLosch uzama ukufumana isiseko kumthetho kaMoses malunga nesishumi ukucacisa ukuba kutheni beza kuyiyeka imfuneko yokuxela ixesha. Ndiyazi ukuba luxanduva, kodwa yiyo yonke into ekufuneka asebenze ngayo. Ukwenza izinto zibe nzima ngakumbi kuye, unenye indlela yokushumayela iJW yokucacisa ngokusuka eSibhalweni. Uyabona, ngenxa yezizathu esiza kuzichaza kamva, kufuneka agcine imfuneko yokufaka ingxelo yoovulindlela.

Yingxaki leyo kuba ukuba uthi into ethile ebandakanya isishumi isusa imfuneko yokufaka ingxelo yenkonzo yasentsimini, ngaba oko bekungayi kusebenza kuye wonk’ ubani obala ixesha, enoba usenza oko njengomvakalisi webandla okanye njengovulindlela webandla? Kutheni le nto iya kusebenza kwenye, ingeyiyo enye? Ayinakwenzeka, kodwa uyayidinga ngenxa yezizathu angafuni ukuziveza. Kufuneka nje athethelele isikhundla sakhe, ngoko ubuyela kuhlobo/umfuziselo wemfundiso yezakwalizwi aze atsalele kwilungiselelo lesifungo sobuNaziri. Ukuba awuqinisekanga ukuba yintoni umNaziri, uLosch uyachaza:

Kodwa ngaba kukho okungakumbi esinokukufunda kwindlela uYehova awaqhubana ngayo noSirayeli wamandulo? Ewe, sinokufunda kwilungiselelo lomNaziri. Ingaba ibiyintoni lonto? Ilungiselelo lobuNaziri lichazwe kwiNumeri, isahluko sesithandathu. Masifunde isahluko sesithandathu, ivesi yokuqala neyesibini. Ithi: “Wathetha ngokubhekele phaya uYehova kuMoses, wathi, Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, ubaxelele, ukuba indoda nokuba yinkazana yenza isibhambathiso esikhethekileyo sokuphila njengomNaziri kuYehova . . .

Oku kwakuquka ukwenza isibhambathiso kuThixo ngenjongo ethile. Yayinokuba yiyo nayiphi na injongo, yaye yayiyeyobude bexesha elithile, kodwa uYesu wakubhangisa ukwenza izifungo kubafundi bakhe. Enyanisweni, wabayalela ukuba bangenzi izibhambathiso:

“Kwakhona nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungafungi ungenzi, kodwa uze uzifezekise izibhambathiso zakho kuYehova. Noko ke, ndithi kuni: Maningakhe nifunge nto, nokuba lizulu, ngokuba liyitrone kaThixo; nokuba lihlabathi, ngokuba sisihlalo seenyawo zakhe; nokuba yiYerusalem, ngokuba ngumzi woKumkani omkhulu. Uze ungayifungi nentloko yakho, ngokuba ungenamandla okwenza nalunye unwele lube mhlophe, nokuba lube mnyama. UEwe makabe nguEwe, uHayi wenu, abe nguHayi; kuba okugqithe koko kuvela kongendawo.” ( Mateyu 5:33-37 )

Ngokusuka kumazwi kaYesu siyabona ukuba akukho lungiselelo lihambelanayo kwibandla lamaKristu lokwenza isifungo somNaziri, kwaye eneneni inye into esiqiniseke ngayo, ilungiselelo lobuvulindlela elisekwe nguMbutho kunye nemfuneko yalo emiselweyo yeeyure ezimiselweyo kwaye kufuneka lixele kubadala alinalo. isekelwe eZibhalweni, kungekhona phantsi komthetho kaMoses okanye kamva kwibandla lamaKristu. Umbutho uyazama kwakhona ukufumana isiseko seBhayibhile somgaqo wabo wokwenziwa kusetyenziswa uhlobo/ulwalamano lomfuziselo olungasetyenziswanga eSibhalweni.

Ngoba? Hayi ke, lowo ngumbuzo obangel’ umdla, lowo unokufumana impendulo yawo kwimithetho emiselwe ngamazwe ngamazwe ngeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo. Ngaba unomdla? Ewe, kuya kufuneka ulinde kude kube yividiyo yethu elandelayo neyokugqibela kolu ngcelele.

Kodwa okwangoku, sifikelele kwindawo ekugxilwe kuyo kuko konke oku kuzithethelela koMbutho. Intetho apho uSamuel Herd asebenzisa umfuziselo oyilwe waqalwa ngumhlobo wakhe, uGerrit Losch.

Njengoko wawuphulaphule uMzalwan’ uLosch exubusha ngamalungiselelo esishumi nobuNaziri, ngaba uye wazama ukunxulumana namalungiselelo esinawo onqulo lwale mihla? Mhlawumbi ubuzibuza ukuba yintoni ehambelana nesishumi namhlanje. Kodwa ilungiselelo lesishumi libonisa into uYehova asayilindeleyo kubantu bakhe namhlanje. Khumbula ukuba, isishumi sasingamele sibe ngowe-10 nje kuphela, kodwa sibe sesona silungileyo se-10 semveliso yomntu nezilwanyana zakhe. UYehova akasifanelanga ngaphezu kokona kulungileyo kwethu. Sicinga ngoko, sinokumnika njani okona kulungileyo uYehova?

Ngaba ngoku uyayibona indlela abaye basebenza ngayo ukuze wena, mphulaphuli, wamkele into yokuba oko kwakubhalwe kumthetho kaMoses ngoku kuyasebenza kumaNgqina kaYehova ngendlela ekhethekileyo? UYehova wayefuna amaSirayeli anikele okona kulungileyo kwawo. Kodwa ngubani omela uYehova namhlanje? Liliphi iqela lamadoda elithi unqulo lwawo ‘luyinkonzo enyulu’ namhlanje? Sonke siyayazi impendulo yalo mbuzo, akunjalo?

Bawathabathile amazwi kaThixo kwaye ngoku bazikhukhumalisa bawasebenzise kwimigaqo nezenzo abazisungulele bona ngokwabo. Ngaba la madoda afanelekile yaye afanelekele ukwenza ibango elinjalo? Ngaba ngokwenene bayasiqonda iZibhalo njengoko bezibanga ukuze sibe nokukholosa ngokutolika kwazo?

Ngumbuzo olungileyo lowo, akunjalo? Masizivavanye, kwaye uyazi ntoni? Akuyi kufuneka ukuba sihambe ngakumbi kunale nto ithethwa nguSamuel Herd ngokulandelayo:

Kakade ke, sizama ngamandla ukuthobela yonke imiyalelo kaYehova. Kodwa mnye umyalelo obalaseleyo njengophawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso namhlanje. Ingaba yin?

Uthi kukho umyalelo okhethekileyo, lowo ngokukhethekileyo wahlula amaKristu okwenyaniso namhlanje. Umhlambi uyasibuza ukuba siyayazi na ukuba yintoni na? Ukuba uDavid Splaine ebenikela le ntetho, mhlawumbi ebenokuwulandela lo mbuzo ngelinye lamabinzana akhe afana nawo, “Ndiza kukunika umzuzwana.”

Kodwa akuyomfuneko umzuzwana, kuba siyazi ukuba kukho umyalelo okhethekileyo osebenza njengophawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso. Siyazi ukuba ngubani owanikela loo myalelo yaye siyazi kakuhle apho unokuwufumana khona eBhayibhileni. Ndiza kukufundela yona ngokusuka kweyona Bhayibhile ithandwayo nguSamuel Herd, iNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha:

Ndininika umthetho omtsha, wokuba nithandane; Njengoko ndinithandayo, nani thandane. Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba ninothando phakathi kwenu. ”(John 13: 34, 35)

Ukuphinda: “Ngako oko bonke baya kwazi ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba ninothando phakathi kwenu.”

Ngoko, apho unophawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso olubonakala kubo bonke: Abonisa uthando lukaKristu omnye komnye.

Kodwa ayingomyalelo uHerd acinga ngawo. Akabuzi ngokwenene ngophawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso. Ucela uphawu lwamaNgqina kaYehova. Qikelela ukuba yintoni leyo?

Kodwa mnye umyalelo obalaseleyo njengophawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso namhlanje. Ingaba yin? Masiyifunde kunye kwiscreen. KuMateyu, isahluko 28, indinyana 19 neyama-20, ithi, “Hambani ngoko niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga. nibabhaptizela egameni loYise, loNyana, loMoya oyiNgcwele; nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endiniwisele umthetho ngazo. Yaye niyabona, ndinani yonke imihla de kube sekuphelisweni kwenkqubo yezinto.” Ngaba wothuswa kukuba sifunde loo vesi?

Sithethela uninzi lwethu apha phandle, Samuel, ayisothusi into yokuba ufunde le ndinyana. Besilindele ukuba uya kuyiphatha kakubi. Unokulindelwa njani ukuba ulazi olona phawu lwamaKristu okwenyaniso ngoxa ungazi nokuba ngubani othetha kuloo ndinyana? Utshilo Kakade ke, sizama ngamandla ukuthobela yonke imiyalelo kaYehova. Kodwa lo asingoYehova othethayo. NguYesu lo uthethayo, esandul’ ukusixelela ukuba unikwe lonke igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Ngoko, ngokucacileyo ngumyalelo kaYesu, kungekhona umyalelo kaYehova. Ungayikhumbula njani loo nto, Samuweli?

Ukuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo alinakuphendula ngendlela echanileyo umbuzo othi, “Luluphi uphawu olwahlula abafundi bakaKristu, amaKristu okwenyaniso? ke singalikholelwa njani ibango labo lokuba isishumi, kwaye isifungo somNaziri simele umsebenzi wokushumayela weJW kunye nenkonzo yobuvulindlela?

Yenziwe yonke into, bantu! Kudala yonke loo nto; kudala ndingekazalwa.

Ngoku, andikukhuthazi ukuba amaKristu angabenzi abafundi okanye ababhaptize egameni likaYesu Krestu. Hayi akunjalo!

Sifumana iimbekiselo ezininzi kwincwadi ka Izenzo zaBapostile kubafundi ababhaptizelwayo egameni likaYesu. ( IZenzo 2:38; 10:48; 19:5 ) Kodwa akukho ndinyana ethi abapostile babebhaptiza egameni loYise, loNyana neloMoya Oyingcwele. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo abazange babhaptize nabani na egameni lombutho. Oko bekuya kuthetha ukunyelisa, akunjalo na?

Njengoko sikhangela emva kulo lonke utshintsho esiye saluxubusha kolu ngcelele luneenxalenye ezintandathu ezigubungela intlanganiso yonyaka, ngaba sinokutsho ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba siyasibona isandla sikaThixo kuyo nayiphi na kuzo?

Nanini na xa uMbutho wenze utshintsho olubonakala ngathi luchasene nokuqonda kwangaphambili, bahlala bebanga ukuba lwenziwa phantsi kolwalathiso lukaYehova. Uyayithenga lonto?

USamuel Herd ufuna ukholelwe ukuba olu tshintsho lilungiselelo lothando elivela kuYehova uThixo.

Kodwa uYehova unengqiqo. Uyazi ukuba abazalwana noodadewethu abaninzi basikelwa umda ziimeko ezinjengokwaluphala okanye iingxaki zempilo. Abanye bajamelana nokunyuka kweendleko zokuphila, iimfazwe zamakhaya, imfazwe, okanye ukuchaswa komsebenzi wethu.

“UYehova usengqiqweni”?! Ngaba wasuka wathetha nje? UThixo onguSomandla wendalo iphela usengqiqweni? UHerd ​​ufuna sikholelwe ukuba uYehova usandul’ ukuqonda ukuba emva kokuthwalisa abantu bakhe uxanduva kangangeminyaka elikhulu, ngoku lixesha lokuba bawususe kumagxa abo agobileyo? Ngaba uYehova uye waqonda ngoku, njengokuba uHerd esitsho, ukuba “abazalwana noodadewethu abaninzi basikelwa umda ziimeko ezinjengokwaluphala okanye iingxaki ezinzulu zempilo, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso ezinto zokuphila, iimfazwe zamakhaya, imfazwe, okanye ukuchaswa komsebenzi.” Ngokuzimisela?! Ngaba uYehova wayengekho kwiminyaka engama-20^th ngenkulungwane yokuqala neyesibini, imfazwe ebandayo, ixesha lenyukliya, imfazwe yamakhaya kwiminyaka yoo-XNUMX, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kwiminyaka yoo-XNUMX? Ngaba kwakungekho nto ingako yokugula ngelo xesha? Ngaba abantu baqala ukuguga ngoku?

Ukuba ukususa imfuneko yeyure kusisenzo sothando esivela kuYehova uThixo, ngoko sinokukuthethelela njani ukunyanzelisa loo mfuneko kumaNgqina kaYehova ngaphezu kwenkulungwane? Ngokuqinisekileyo oko akunakujongwa njengesenzo sothando!? Ewe akunjalo, kwaye le yinyani ecacileyo kangangokuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo kufuneka leyisele umhlambi walo ukuba konke oku kwenziwa nguYehova. Abafuni kwamkela nayiphi na imbopheleleko ngezenzo zabo.

Ewe, ukwazi oku, ke asinazintloni malunga nohlengahlengiso olwenziwayo, kwaye…siluxolo olufunekayo ngenxa yokungalufumani kakuhle ngaphambili. Siyaqonda ukuba le yindlela uYehova asebenza ngayo. Utyhila izinto ngokuthe ngcembe xa kuyimfuneko.

Ayaye kuthekani ngeso saziso siphathelele ingxelo yethu Yenkonzo Yasentsimini? UYehova usiphatha ngesidima. Usithembile.

Ukuba ubunawo nawaphi na amathandabuzo ngaphambili, ngaba ngoku uyalubona uhanahaniso koko bakubangayo? UMark Sanderson ukuxelela ukuba esi saziso sokungayifaki ingxelo yenkonzo yasentsimini sivela kuThixo, kuba uYehova “usiphatha ngesidima” yaye “ukholose ngathi.” Kodwa ukuba ngokwenene olo tshintsho lwaluvela kuYehova, amadoda atyhila olo tshintsho akwenza oko ephefumlelwe. Abanakubanga ngenyaniso ukuba bayawa kwaye abaphefumlelwanga ngelixa bebanga, kwangaxeshanye, ukuba utshintsho abasandula ukuluzisa luvela kuYehova.

Ukuhanahanisa yindlela ekhethekileyo yokuxoka. Uhanahaniso lonqulo, njengohanahaniso olwagwetywa nguYesu kubaFarisi, luzenza ngathi uthetha egameni likaThixo ngoxa enyanisweni nifuna izilangazelelo zenu.

Njengengcuka eyambethe igusha, nizenza into eningeyiyo, ukuze niqwenge into yomnye. AmaKristu ngaYesu Kristu, kungekhona abantu.

“Kodwa lowo usiqinisekisayo ukuba thina nani singabakaKristu nalowo usithambisileyo nguThixo. Ukwabeke netywina lakhe kuthi yaye ubeke umqondiso woko kuzayo, oko kukuthi, umoya, ezintliziyweni zethu.” ( 2 Korinte 1:21, 22 )

Ukuba ke aninawo umoya kaKristu, aningabo abakaKristu.

"Nangona kunjalo, ninokuvumelana nenyama, kodwa nomoya, ukuba umoya kaThixo uhlala ngaphakathi kuni. Kodwa ke ukuba umntu akanaye umoya kaKristu, akangowakhe lowo. ”(KwabaseRoma 8: 9)

Ukuba umoya kaKristu uhleli kuthi, ngoko siyamthobela uYesu. Sikulungele ukumnika ixesha lethu, izinto esinazo, ubuntu bethu, nokuzinikela kwethu. Kuba ngokwenza konke oko, sinqula uBawo wethu osezulwini.

Amadoda afana neengcuka afuna ukuqwenga oko sikunikela eNkosini yethu. Bafuna intobelo yethu, ukunyaniseka, nako konke esinako. Sisenokucinga ukuba sinikela ezi zinto zixabisekileyo kuThixo, kodwa enyanisweni, sikhonza abantu.

Akuba nje amadoda anjalo efumene igunya elikhulu kangaka nokulawula abanye, akafuni ukuliyeka yaye aya kwenza konke okusemandleni ukuze aligcine ukuba aziva esongelwa.

Njengobungqina boku, qwalasela ubude iqumrhu elilawulayo lakwaSirayeli elalikulungele ukuya kubo xa liziva lisongelwa.

Bahlanganisana ababingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi, bathi, Masenze ntoni na? Le ndoda yenza imimangaliso emikhulu. Yaye ukuba siyamvumela ukuba enjenjalo, bonke abantu baya kukholwa kuye aze amaRoma eze asithabathe isikhundla sethu nohlanga lwethu.” ( Yohane 11:47, 48 )

UYesu wayesandul’ ukuvusa umhlobo wakhe, uLazaro, kodwa la madoda angendawo abona kuphela isisongelo sobutyebi nesikhundla sawo esasibonakaliswa yimimangaliso kaYesu. Baza ke bafuna ukumbulala, baza ekugqibeleni bambulala. Hayi indlela emangalisa ngayo!

IQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova lifuna ukuba umhlambi walo ukholelwe ukuba olu tshintsho lwemfundiso nomgaqo-nkqubo wentlanganiso yonyaka luvela kuThixo, kodwa ngaba oko kusengqiqweni kuwe, okanye ngaba uhanahaniso lwawo lubhityile?

Makhe sihlolisise olu tshintsho.

Eyokuqala, eyaziswa nguGeoffrey Jackson, iphathelele isiphelo senkqubo yezinto akholelwa ukuba siqalisa ngokuhlaselwa kweBhabhiloni Enkulu.

Kubo bonke ubomi bam, ndaxelelwa ukuba xa kwaqhambuka uhlaselo lweBhabhiloni Enkulu, kwakuya kuba semva kwexesha ukuba nabani na kubahlobo bam okanye amalungu entsapho awayewushiyile uMbutho ukuze asindiswe. Ngoku, loo nto itshintshile. UJackson wachaza ukuba abo bawushiyileyo uMbutho basenalo ithuba lokuguquka ngomzuzu wokugqibela babuye. Kutheni le nto iQumrhu Elilawulayo litshintsha? Ngokucacileyo ayiphumi kuYehova kuba uThixo akabalahlisi abantwana bakhe kangangamashumi eminyaka ngeemfundiso zobuxoki, aze atsibe ngomzuzu wokugqibela ngokubetha-bethana.

Utshintsho lwesibini, olwaziswa nguSamuel Herd, luphathelele ukushenxiswa kwengxelo yenkonzo yasentsimini esisinyanzelo ebifuneka kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu.

Sabonisa ukuba akukho nto eBhayibhileni exhasa uluvo lokuba amaKristu anike ingxelo ngexesha lawo nendawo abekelwe kuyo nyanga nganye ngokungathi ngabathengisi abasebenzela umbutho omkhulu wokupapasha. Sekunjalo, iQumrhu Elilawulayo laxelela umhlambi walo ukuba lithobela uYehova ngokunikela ingxelo nyanga nganye. Ngoku, uSanderson uyayiphikisa loo mfundiso, esithi uYehova uye wayisusa ngothando loo mfuneko. Obunjani bona ubuvuvu!

Zombini ezi nguqulelo zichaphazela iimfundiso ezavumela iQumrhu Elilawulayo ukuba libe nolawulo olungqongqo kumhlambi walo. Simele sikhumbule ukuba umprofeti wobuxoki ulawula umhlambi wakhe ngoloyiko. Ke, kutheni benokuwayeka amaqhinga okuphumelela ebewasebenzele ngaphezu kweminyaka eli-100? Bebengayi kuyenza loo nto ngaphandle kokuba loo maqhinga akasasebenzi. NjengeSanhedrin, iQumrhu Elilawulayo aliyi kugqala naliphi na ikhondo lesenzo njengelibaxiweyo kakhulu ukuba lingalondoloza “indawo yabo nohlanga lwabo,” ( Yohane 11:48 ) enguMbutho wamaNgqina kaYehova.

Ngaba uMbutho uhambela phambili? Ngaba iQumrhu Elilawulayo linyanzelwa kolu tshintsho yimibutho engaphandle kwezobupolitika neyehlabathi?

Le yimibuzo esiza kuzama ukuyiphendula kwividiyo yethu elandelayo neyokugqibela kolu ngcelele igubungela intlanganiso yonyaka ka-2023.
