Ngaphansi kokuphefumulelwa, uJohn wethula isihloko / igama elithi “uLizwi kaNkulunkulu” emhlabeni ngo-96 CE (IsAm. 19:13) Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, ngo-98 CE, wavula ukulandisa kwakhe ngempilo kaJesu esebenzisa indlela efushanisiwe ethi “the ULizwi ”ukuphinda anikeze le ndima eyingqayizivele kuJesu. (Johane 1: 1, 14) Ngalesi sikhathi unezela uhlaka lwesikhathi, wathi wabizwa ngokuthi uLizwi 'ekuqaleni'. Akekho omunye kuyo yonke imiBhalo owaziwa ngalesi sihloko noma ngaleli gama.
Ngakho-ke nayi amaqiniso:

I-1. UJesu uyiZwi likaNkulunkulu.
2. Isihloko / igama elithi "Izwi LikaNkulunkulu" liyingqayizivele kuJesu.
3. Wayephethe lesi siqu / igama “ekuqaleni”.
I-4. Ibhayibheli alinikezi ncazelo ecacile yencazelo yalendima.

Ukuqonda Kwethu Kwamanje

Ukuqonda kwethu ukuthi ukubizwa 'ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu' kubhekisa endimeni kaJesu njengoMkhulumeli Oyinhloko kaJehova. (w08 9/15 k. 30) Siphinde sisebenzise igama elithi “Okhulumela Umhlaba Wonke.” (w67-ZU 6/15 likh. 379)
Njengoba wabizwa lokhu 'ekuqaleni', le ndima wanikwa yona elindele ukuba ngumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu uma sekukhona ezinye izidalwa ezihlakaniphile. Ngakho-ke, ungumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu ezingelosini. Futhi nguyena owakhuluma nababili abangabantu abaphelele eNsimini yase-Edene. (it-2-E likh. 53)
Lokhu kusho ukuthi uJehova wadala uJesu enenhloso — phakathi kwabanye — yokumsebenzisa njengomxhumanisi lapho ekhuluma nezingelosi zakhe eziphelele nezingabantu. Ubengeke akhulume nabo ngqo.

Isandulela

Siyini isisekelo sethu sokuthi ukuba yiZwi kusho ukuba ngumkhulumeli? Kuyathakazelisa ukuhlola izinkomba ezimbili ekufundiseni kwethu odabeni oluku Insight on the Scriptures ivolumu yesibili. (it-2-k. 53; k. 1203) Ukufundwa ngokucophelela kwazo zombili izinkomba kanye nakho konke okuye kwanyatheliswa ngale ndaba eminyakeni engama-60 edlule ezincwadini zethu kubonisa ukungabikhona ngokuphelele kobufakazi obungokomBhalo obusekela ukuqonda kwethu. Ukuthi uJesu wake wasebenza njengomkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi kufakazelwa kahle emiBhalweni. Kodwa-ke, akukho zikhombo zemibhalo ezethulwe kunoma yiziphi izincwadi zethu ukukhombisa ukuthi ukuba yiZwi likaNkulunkulu kusho ukuba ngumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu.
Ngakho-ke kungani senza lokhu kucabanga? Mhlawumbe, futhi ngicabanga lapha, kungenxa yokuthi igama lesiGreki / logo lisho ukuthi “igama” futhi igama liyizinhlayiyana zokukhuluma, ngakho-ke sifika kulokhu kuchazwa ngokuzenzakalela. Ngemuva kwakho konke, yini enye engabhekisa kuyo?

Ukufundisa Kwethu Kusiphoqa Kanjani Ukuya?

Uma ukuba 'nguLizwi' kusho ukuba ngumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu, khona-ke kufanele sizibuze ukuthi kungani anikezwe indima enjalo ngesikhathi lapho kwakungekho ozokhulumela uJehova? Kumele futhi siphethe ngokuthi uJehova, oyisibonelo sabo bonke obaba abangabantu, ubeka isibonelo sokukhuluma namadodana akhe ayizingelosi ngomxhumanisi kuphela. Kukhona futhi ukungahambelani okubonakalayo kukaNkulunkulu ozolalela ngqo (hhayi ngomlamuleli) emikhulekweni yezoni, kepha ongeke akhulume ngqo namadodana akhe omoya aphelele.
Okunye ukungahambi kahle kwezinto kususelwa eqinisweni lokuthi isihloko / igama lehlukile kuJesu, kepha indima yokukhulumela akuyona. Ngisho nezitha zikaNkulunkulu ziye zasebenza njengomkhulumeli wakhe. (UBhalami noKayafase bafika engqondweni - Num. 23: 5; Joh. 11:49) Ngakho-ke leli gama lingahluka kanjani? Ukubiza uJesu njengoMkhulumeli omkhulu noma okhulumela indawo yonke akuyixazululi le nkinga, ngoba okuhlukile akuyona inkinga yobuningi, kodwa yekhwalithi. Ukuba ngumkhulumeli omkhulu kunanoma ngubani omunye, akumenzi omunye ahluke. Besingeke simbize uJesu ngeZwi eliyinhloko likaNkulunkulu noma iZwi likaNkulunkulu jikelele. Kodwa-ke uma iZwi lisho umkhulumeli, khona-ke yonke ingelosi noma umuntu oke wakhonza njengomkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu angabizwa ngokufanelekile njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu, okungenani ngesikhathi ekhuluma egameni likaNkulunkulu.
Uma uJesu engumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu wendawo yonke, kungani engakaze akhonjiswe kweminye yemibono yasezulwini enza leyo ndima? UJehova uboniswa njalo ekhuluma ngokuqondile nezidalwa zakhe eziyizingelosi. (Isb. 1 AmaKhosi 22:22, 23 noJobe 1: 7) Kungamanga okukhohlisa ngakithi ukufundisa ukuthi uJesu wayengumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu ngalezi zikhathi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iBhayibheli lisho ngokucacile ukuthi izingelosi zakhuluma ngaphambi kokuza kukaJesu eMhlabeni.

(Heberu 2: 2, 3) Ngoba uma izwi elakhulunywa ngezingelosi laqina, futhi zonke izeqo nezenzo zokungalaleli zathola ukubuyiselwa okuvumelana nobulungiswa; ³ Sizophunyuka kanjani uma singayinakanga insindiso yobukhulu obukhulu kangangokuba yaqala ukukhulunywa yiNkosi yethu futhi yaqinisekiswa yithina yilabo abamuzwa,

Abukho ubufakazi obukhombisa ukuthi noJesu wayesebenza kulesi sikhundla. Eqinisweni, ngesikhathi okukhulunywa ngaso, ubengasebenzi njengomkhulumeli nhlobo, kepha kunalokho njengoba owayekade ecelwe ukuba enze lula umsebenzi womkhulumeli wezingelosi. (Dan. 10:13)

Ukulandela Ubufakazi

Ake sibheke kabusha izinto ngaphandle kwemibono.
Liyini “izwi likaNkulunkulu”? Ake siqale ngokuhlola okushiwo yileli gama.
Njengoba izwi likaNkulunkulu lihlukile, incazelo elula yesichazamazwi ngeke yanele. Esikhundleni salokho, ake sibheke lokho okushiwo yiBhayibheli. Isa. U-55: 11 ukhuluma ngezwi lakhe ukuthi lingaphumi ngaphandle kokubuyela kuye nemiphumela. Ngenkathi uJehova ethi kuGen. 1: 3 “Makube-khona ukukhanya”, kwakungeyona isimemezelo esilula njengoba kungaba ngumuntu ukusho amagama anjalo. Amagama akhe afana ncamashi neqiniso. Lapho uJehova esho okuthile, kuyenzeka.
Ngakho-ke ingabe ukubizwa ngokuthi 'iZwi likaNkulunkulu' (IsAm. 19: 13) kungasho okungaphezu kokuba ngumuntu odlulisela izwi likaNkulunkulu kwabanye?
Ake sibheke umongo weSambulo isahluko 19. Lapha uJesu uchazwa njengomahluleli, iqhawe nokhokhela isahlulelo. Empeleni, nguyena oqokelwe ukufeza noma ukufeza izwi likaNkulunkulu, hhayi ukulikhuluma nje kuphela.
Kuthiwani ngomongo wenkomba yesibili yalesi sihloko / igama, etholakala kuJohane 1: 1? Lapha sifunda ukuthi uJesu wayebizwa ngegama ekuqaleni. Wenzani ekuqaleni? Ivesi 3 lisitshela ukuthi “zonke izinto zaba khona ngaye”. Lokhu kuhambisana nokutholakala kuzAga isahluko 8 lapho uJesu kubhekiselwa kuye njengesisebenzi esiyingcweti sikaNkulunkulu. Lapho uJehova ekhuluma amazwi aholela ekudalweni kwezinto zonke, ngokomoya noma ngokwenyama, uJesu wayeyisisebenzi esiyingcweti esafeza amazwi akhe.
Kusobala kumongo kaJohn 1: 1-3 ukuthi indima yesikhulumi ayibhekwa, kepha eyomenzi noma ehambisana noma efakwa igama likaNkulunkulu lokudala, Yebo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umongo ubhekisela endimeni eyingqayizivele, eyodwa uJesu kuphela lapho kubhekiselwa kuyo emBhalweni njengokwenza.

Isikhonkwane esizungeze i-Round Hole

Lokhu kuqonda kweZwi likaNkulunkulu kubhekisa endimeni njengokumiswa noma ukufeza izwi likaNkulunkulu kususa isidingo sokucabanga izinto ezingekho embhalweni. Akudingeki sicabange ukuthi uJesu wayedlala indawo (umkhulumeli) ezulwini lapho engakaze aboniswe enza kanjalo. Akudingeki sicabange ukuthi uJehova ngeke akhulume ngqo nezingane zakhe ezingokomoya azithandayo, kodwa ukwenza kanjalo kuphela ngokusebenzisa umxhumanisi — ikakhulukazi lapho engakaze aboniswe enza kanjalo. Akudingeki ukuthi sichaze ukuthi uJesu angaba kanjani umkhulumeli wendawo yonke lapho engakaze akhonjiswe ekhulumela indawo yonke egameni likaJehova, futhi akukaze kubhekiswe kuye njengomkhulumeli wendawo noma umkhulumeli omkhulu eBhayibhelini. Akudingeki ukuthi sichaze ukuthi kungani ezonikezwa indima yokuba ngumkhulumeli ngesikhathi lapho bekungadingeki khona, ngoba nguye noJehova kuphela ababekhona 'ekuqaleni'. Asinayo i-conundrum yokubhekisa kundima ejwayelekile njengomkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu njengokwehlukile ngandlela thile kuJesu. Ngamafuphi, asibonwa njengezama ukuphoqa isikhonkwane esiyisikwele emgodini oyindilinga.
Uma ukuba yiZwi kusho ukuba ngulowo oqokelwe ukufeza, afeze futhi afeze izwi likaNkulunkulu, khona-ke sinendima eyehlukile kuJesu, yayidingeka 'ekuqaleni' futhi iyahambisana nomongo wazo zombili izindinyana.
Le ncazelo ilula, iyahambisana nombhalo, futhi ayidingi ukuba siqagele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenkathi ukuba ngumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu kuyindima ehlonipheke kakhulu, akuyona into eqhathaniswa nokuba yiso uqobo kwaleloZwi.

(2 Korinte 1: 20) Ngoba noma ngabe ziningi kangakanani izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu, ziye zaba nguYebo ngaye. Ngakho-ke futhi ngaye “u-Ameni” [uNkulunkulu] wathi kuye ngenkazimulo ngathi.

eyongeziwe

Kusukela ngiqala ukubhala le ndaba, ngathola omunye umcabango ngenkathi ngilungiselela isikole sabadala sezinsuku ezinhlanu.
Inkulumo efanayo itholakala ku-Eksodusi 4:16, lapho uJehova ethi kuMose ngokuphathelene nomfowabo u-Aroni: “Uyakukhulumela abantu; khona-ke iyoba ngumlomo kuwe, wena ube-nguNkulunkulu kuye. ” Njengomkhulumeli wommeleli omkhulu kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, u-Aroni wakhonza 'njengomlomo' kaMose. Ngokufanayo neLizwi, noma uLogos, owaba nguJesu Kristu. Ngokusobala uJehova wasebenzisa iNdodana yakhe ukuze idlulisele ukwaziswa neziyalezo kwabanye bomndeni wayo wamadodana omoya, njengoba nje ayisebenzisa leyo Ndodana ekudluliseleni isigijimi sayo kubantu emhlabeni. (it-2-E k. 53 UJesu Kristu)
Okokuqala, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi umusho wokugcina awunikezi 'bufakazi' obufakazela indlela uJehova 'ngokusobala' ayisebenzise ngayo iNdodana yakhe. (Ngithole ukuthi 'ngokusobala' yincwadi eshicilelwe ezincwadini zethu ezibhalwe ukuthi “Here be speciction”) Eqinisweni, sonke isihloko sethulwa ngaphandle kobufakazi obungokomBhalo, ngakho-ke kufanele siphethe ngokulunga kumfundi ukuthi lokho elikufundisayo kusekelwe ukuqagela komuntu.
Kepha, ungathi, ubudlelwano buka-Aaron noMose abubona yini ubufakazi bencazelo yama-logo? Impela kukhona kokuthi iqiniso lokuthi lobu budlelwano buchazwa ngegama elithi 'elifana' nelithi ama-logos?
Umalumekazi wami weSeventh Day Adventist wake wazama ukungifakazela uZiqu-zintathu ngokusebenzisa umfanekiso weqanda elakhiwa izingxenye ezintathu. Ngangisemncane kakhulu futhi kwangicika kuze kube umngane ohlakaniphe kakhulu wangitshela ukuthi umfanekiso awunakusetshenziswa njengobufakazi. Inhloso yomfanekiso, isifaniso, noma umzekeliso ukwenza lula ukuqonda kweqiniso eselivele lisunguliwe.
Ngakho-ke, ngoba asikwazi ukubonisa ukuthi ama-logos njengoba kusebenza kuJesu ngokusebenzisa umfanekiso kaMose no-Aroni, singakwazi okungenani ukukusebenzisa ukubonisa iqiniso eselivele selimisiwe?
Yebo, uma sineqiniso elimisiwe. Ingabe thina?
Kusukela endabeni engenhla, kufanele kube sobala kumfundi ukuthi abukho ubufakazi obusemiBhalweni ngemfundiso yethu yamanje esemthethweni ngale ndaba. Kuthiwani ngokuqonda okunye okubekwe phambili kule ndatshana? IBhayibheli ku-Isaya 55:11 lisitshela ngokuqondile ukuthi liyini iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukusuka kulokhu singasho ukuthi noma ngubani onaleso sikhundla kufanele enze leyo ndima. Noma kunjalo, lokho kusengukuncishiswa. Noma kunjalo, ngokungafani nemfundiso yethu yamanje, inenzuzo yokuhambisana nomongo futhi iyahambisana nayo yonke eminye imiBhalo.
Ingabe isifaniso esivela ebuhlotsheni buka-Aroni noMose siyaqhubeka sibonisa lokho kuvumelana?
Asibone. Bheka u-Eksodusi 7:19.

“Ngokulandelayo uJehova wathi kuMose:“ Yithi ku-Aroni, 'Thatha induku yakho welule isandla sakho phezu kwamanzi aseGibhithe, phezu kwemifula yabo, naphezu kwemisele yabo yeNayile naphezu kwamachibi abo anomhlanga nangawo wonke amanzi abo abanjelwe, ukuze ube yigazi. '. . . ”

Ngakho-ke u-Aaron wayengeyena okhulumela uMose kuphela, kepha nguyena owasetshenziswa ukufeza izwi likaMose, alithola kuNkulunkulu. Kubukeka sengathi ubuhlobo buka-Aaron noMose bungasetshenziswa ukukhombisa incazelo yangempela yendima eyenziwa nguJesu njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu.
