I-CT Russell Hits Isondele Ekhaya

U-Apollos wadlulisela lokhu okucashunwe kuStudies in Scriptures, Umqulu 3, amakhasi 181 kuya ku-187. Kula makhasi, umfowethu uRussell uchaza ngemiphumela yehlelo. Njengofakazi, singafunda lesi sibonelo esihle kakhulu sokubhala okucacile, okufingqiwe bese sicabanga ukuthi sisebenza kanjani “enkolweni yamanga”, “kwiLobukholwa”. Kodwa-ke, ake sivule izingqondo zethu ngokuqhubekayo futhi siyifunde ngaphandle kokubona kusengaphambili. Ngoba kungukucabanga okusangulukisa kakhulu, okuvela kulowo esimthatha njengomsunguli wethu wosuku lwanamuhla.

Ake sibheke ukuthi manje sesisesikhathini sokuvuna sokwehlukana, futhi sikhumbule isizathu esiveziwe seNkosi yethu sokusibiza siphume eBhabheli, okungukuthi, “ukuze lingabi abahlanganyeli bezono zayo.” Cabanga futhi, ukuthi kungani iBabiloni laqanjwa kanjalo. Ngokusobala, ngenxa yamaphutha akhe amaningi emfundiso, okuyinto, exutshaniswe nezinto ezimbalwa zeqiniso laphezulu, yenza ukudideka okukhulu, futhi ngenxa yenkampani exubile ehlanganiswe amaqiniso namaphutha ahlanganisiwe. Futhi njengoba zizobamba amaphutha ngomhlatshelo weqiniso, lokhu kwenziwa kungasebenzi, futhi kuvame ukuba kubi kakhulu kunokungasho lutho. Lesi sono, sokubamba nokufundisa iphutha lapho kwenziwa umhlatshelo weqiniso kungenye yazo zonke izinhlaka zeBandla elizibiza ngecala, ngaphandle kokukhetha. Likuphi ihlelo elizokusiza ekufundeni ngenkuthalo imiBhalo, ukuze ukhule ngalo emseni naselwazini lweqiniso? Likuphi ihlelo elingazukubamba ukukhula kwakho, zombili ngezimfundiso zalo nangokusebenzisa kwalo? Likuphi ihlelo lapho ungalalela khona amazwi eNkosi futhi wenze ukukhanya kwakho kukhanye? Asazi.
Uma noma yiziphi izingane zikaNkulunkulu kulezi zinhlangano zingaboni ukuthi ziyizigqila, kungenxa yokuthi azami ukusebenzisa inkululeko yazo, ngoba zilele ezikhundleni zazo zomsebenzi, lapho kufanele zibe ngabaphathi abakhuthele nabalindi abathembekile. (I-1 Thes. 5: 5,6) Bayeke bavuke bazame ukusebenzisa inkululeko abacabanga ukuthi banayo; mabakhombise abakholwa kanye nabo lapho izinkolelo zabo ziwela ngaphansi kwecebo laphezulu, lapho baphambuka kulo bese begijimisana nalo ngqo; mabakhombise ukuthi uJesu Kristu ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wanambitha kanjani ukufa ngenxa yawo wonke umuntu; ukuthi leli qiniso, kanye nezibusiso eziphuma kulo, “kuzofakazwa kanjani ngawo wonke umuntu wonke umuntu; ukuthi “ngezikhathi zokuvuselela” izibusiso zokubuyiselwa ziyogeleza kanjani kubantu bonke. Bakhombise futhi ukubizwa okuphakeme kwe-Gospel Church, izimo ezinzima zobulungu kulowo mzimba, kanye nomsebenzi okhethekile wenkathi yeVangeli ukuthatha lo “bantu begama lakhe,” okufanele baphakanyiswe ngesikhathi esifanele ukubusa noKristu. Labo abayozama ukusebenzisa inkululeko yabo ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle emasinagogeni anamuhla bayophumelela ekuguquleni wonke amabandla, noma okunye bavuse isivunguvungu sokuphikiswa. Bazakukhipha impela emasinagogeni abo, bese behlukanisa wena nabo, futhi basho zonke izinhlobo ezimbi ngawe, ngamanga, ngenxa kaKristu. Futhi, ngokwenza njalo, ngokungangabazeki, abaningi bayozwa ukuthi basebenzela uNkulunkulu inkonzo. Kepha, uma uthembekile kangaka, uyakududuzwa kakhulu ezithembisweni eziyigugu zika-Isaya 66: 5 noLuka 6: 22— ”Yizwani izwi leNkosi, nina enithuthumela ngeZwi lakhe: Abafowenu abanizondayo, nina niphume ngenxa yegama lami, ngathi, 'Makadunyiswe iNkosi [sikwenza lokhu ngenkazimulo yeNkosi]; kepha yena uyakubonakala enjabulweni yakho, bahlazeke. " Lapho behlukanisa wena nebandla labo, bese bekuhlambalaza, bekhipha igama lakho njengelibi, ngenxa yeNdodana yomuntu. Jabulani ngalolo suku, nigxumagxume ngenjabulo; ngoba bheka, umvuzo wakho mkhulu ezulwini; ngoba noyise benjenjalo kubaprofethi. "Kepha bathi,“ Maye kini, lapho bonke abantu bezokhuluma kahle ngani; ngoba benze njalo obaba babo ku bamanga "
Uma bonke okhonza nabo njengebandla bangosanta — uma bonke bengamabele, kungekho ukhula phakathi kwabo — uhlangane nabantu abaphawuleka kakhulu, abazowamukela ngenhlanhla amaqiniso wokuvuna. Kepha uma kungenjalo, kufanele ulindele iqiniso lamanje ukuhlukanisa ukhula nokolweni. Futhi ngaphezulu, kumele wenze ingxenye yakho ekwethuleni lawa maqiniso azofeza ukuhlukaniswa.
Uma ungaba ngomunye wabangcwele abanqobayo, manje kufanele ube ngomunye waba “vunayo ”wokufaka isikela leqiniso. Uma uthembekile eNkosini, ifanelwe iqiniso futhi ikufanelekela ukuhlanganyela naye kanye naye enkazimulweni, uzokujabulela ukuhlanganyela noMphathi Omkhulu kulokho kuvuna manje-noma ngabe ungahle uthambekele kanjani, ngokwemvelo, Umhlaba.
Uma kukhona ukhula phakathi kukakolweni ebandleni okulo oyilungu lakhona, njengoba kuhlale kunjalo, okuningi kuyoncika ekutheni yikuphi ngobuningi. Uma ukolweni ukhula kuqala, iqiniso, elethulwa ngobuhlakani nangothando, lizobathinta kakhulu; futhi ukhula ngeke lunakekele ukuhlala. Kepha uma iningi lingaba nokhula — njengokweshumi nesishiyagalolunye noma ngaphezulu — umphumela wokwethulwa ngokucophelela nangomusa kweqiniso lokuvunwa kuzoba ukuvusa ulaka nokuphikiswa okunamandla; futhi, uma uphikelela ekumemezeleni izindaba ezinhle, futhi udalula amaphutha amade, usazodedelwa “ngokuxoshwa” ngenxa yenhloso yehlelo, noma inkululeko yakho ivinjelwe ukuze ungavumeli ukukhanya kwakho kukhanye kulokho ibandla. Umsebenzi wakho ke ucacile: Fikisa ubufakazi bakho bothando ebuhleni nasekuhlakanipheni kohlelo olukhulu lweNkosi yeminyaka, futhi, ngokunikela nangokuthobeka izizathu zakho, uhoxe esidlangalaleni kuzo.
Kunobukhulu obuhlukahlukene bokugqilazwa phakathi kwamahlelo ahlukene eBabiloni - "eLobukholwa." Abanye abangacasukela ukugqilazeka okukhulu nangokuphelele konembeza kanye nokwahlulelwa, okufunwa yiRomania, bazimisele impela ukuzibopha, futhi banesifiso sokuthola abanye beboshwe, ngezivumokholo nezimfundiso zomunye wamahlelo amaProthestani. Kuliqiniso, amaketanga abo alula futhi mide kunawaseRoma naseNkathini Yomnyama. Kuze kufike lapho, lokhu kuhle impela — ukuguqulwa kabusha impela - isinyathelo esisezingeni elifanele — ebheke enkululekweni egcwele — esimweni seBandla ngezikhathi zabaphostoli. Kepha kungani ugqoke imijondolo yabantu? Kungani sibopha futhi sikhawulele onembeza bethu? Kunganjani nime siqine kwinkululeko ephelele uKristu asikhulule kuyo? Kungani ungayenqabeli yonke imizamo yabantu abakanye naye yokwakha unembeza nokunqanda uphenyo? - Hhayi kuphela imizamo yasendulo yakudala, yeNkathi Yomnyama, kodwa imizamo yabaguquki abahlukahlukene besikhathi esanda kwedlula? Kungani ungaphethi ukuba njengoba iSonto Labaphostoli laliqhubeka? —Lokukhula olwazini nasemseni nasothandweni, njengoba “isikhathi esifanele” seNkosi siveza icebo lakhe lomusa kakhudlwana?
Impela bonke bayazi ukuthi noma nini lapho bejoyina enye yalezi zinhlangano zabantu, bemukela ukuvuma kwayo ukholo njengeyabo, bayazibophezela ekuthini bangakholelwa nakancane kunaleyo nkolelo eveza ngale ndaba. Uma, naphezu kobugqila obunikelwe ngokuzithandela, kufanele bazicabangele bona, futhi bathole ukukhanya okuvela kweminye imithombo, ngaphambi kokukhanya okujatshulelwe yihlelo abajoyinile, noma ngabe kufanele kungabi yiqiniso lelo hlelo futhi esivumelwaneni sabo nayo, ukungakholelwa lutho oluphambene nokuvuma kwayo, noma kungenjalo kufanele ngokweqiniso bayilahle eceleni futhi bayilahle i-Confession abayikhiphile, baphume ihlelo elinjalo. Ukuze wenze lokhu kudinga umusa futhi kudinga umzamo othile, ukuphazamisa, njengoba kuvame ukwenzeka, ukuzijabulisa okuhle, nokuveza obala umuntu ofuna iqiniso othembekile kumacala angenangqondo okuba “ngumthengisi” kwehlelo lakhe, “i-turncoat,” eyodwa , ”Njll. Lapho umuntu ejoyina ihlelo, ingqondo yakhe kufanele inikelwe ngokuphelele kulelo hlelo, kuze kube manje hhayi olwakhe. Ihlelo lithembela ukumnqumela ukuthi liyini iqiniso nokuthi yini iphutha; futhi yena, ukuze abe yilungu leqiniso, eliqinile, elithembekile, kumele amukele izinqumo zehlelo lakhe, ikusasa lakhe nokwedlule, kuzo zonke izindaba zenkolo, anganaki umcabango wakhe siqu, futhi agweme uphenyo lomuntu siqu, hleze akhule olwazini, futhi ulahlekelwe njengelungu lalelo hlelo. Lokhu kugqilazwa kukanembeza kwehlelo nezokholo kuvame ukushiwo ngamazwi amaningi, lapho onjalo ethi “fanele”Ezinhlanganweni ezinjalo.
Le mijondolo yehlelo, kuze kube manje ekubeni ithathwa njengamaketanga nezibopho, kuyahlonishwa futhi kugqokwa njengemihlobiso, njengamabheji enhlonipho kanye nezimpawu zomlingiswa. Ngabe sekudlule manje ukuduka, ukuthi izingane eziningi zikaNkulunkulu zingajabha ukwaziwa ukuthi azinawo amaketanga anjalo — alula noma asindayo isisindo, amade noma amafushane kwinkululeko yomuntu siqu ayinikezwe. Banamahloni ukusho ukuthi abekho ebugqilini noma yiliphi ihlelo noma inkolo, kodwa “kungokwalabo”KuKristu kuphela.
Ngakho-ke kwenzeka ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi sibone ingane kaNkulunkulu eqotho, elambele iqiniso ikhula kancane kancane isuka kwenye ihlelo iye kwelinye, njengoba ingane idlula ikilasi elithile iye kwelinye ikilasi esikoleni. Uma eseBandleni laseRoma, lapho amehlo akhe evulekile, uphuma kuwo, ngokunokwenzeka ewele kwelinye igatsha lezinhlelo ezingamaWeseli noma zePresbyterian. Uma lapha isifiso sakhe seqiniso singanqanyulwa ngokuphelele futhi izinzwa zakhe zokomoya zihlanganiswa nomoya wezwe, kungenzeka ukuthi emuva kweminyaka embalwa umthole kwamanye amagatsha ohlelo lweBaptist; futhi, uma eqhubeka nokukhula emseni naselwazini nasekuthandeni iqiniso, futhi ekwaziseni inkululeko uJesu enza ngayo inkululeko, ungamthola ngaphandle kwazo zonke izinhlangano zabantu, uhlangane neNkosi kuphela bangcwele, beboshwe kuphela ngamathambo athambile kodwa anamandla othando neqiniso, njengeSonto lokuqala. I-1 Cor. I-6: 15,17; Efe. I-4: 15,16
Umuzwa wokungakhathali nokungavikeleki, uma ungaboshelwa ngamaketanga athile weqembu, uvamile. Kuzalwa ngombono wamanga, owamenyezelwa okokuqala ngopapa, ukuthi ubulungu enhlanganweni yasemhlabeni kubalulekile, bujabulisa iNkosi futhi buyadingeka empilweni engapheli. Lezi zinhlelo zasemhlabeni, ezihlelwe ngumuntu, ezihluke kakhulu ezinhlanganweni ezilula, ezingashintshiwe zezinsuku zabaphostoli, zibukwa ngokungananazi futhi cishe nangazi ngabantu abangamaKristu njengezinkampani eziningi kakhulu zeNkampani yomshuwalense wezulu, enye yazo imali, isikhathi, inhlonipho, njll., kumele zikhokhwe njalo, ukuvikela ukuphumula kwasezulwini nokuthula emva kokufa. Ngokwenza lo mbono wamanga, abantu cishe banexhala lokuthi bazoboshwa elinye ihlelo, uma bephuma kwelilodwa, njengoba benjalo uma inqubomgomo yabo yomshuwalense iphelelwe yisikhathi, ukuze ivuselelwe enkampanini ethile ehlonishwayo.
Kepha ayikho inhlangano yasemhlabeni enganikeza ipasipoti yenkazimulo yasezulwini. Ihlelo elabelwe kakhulu (ngaphandle kwe-Romanist) ngeke lisho, noma lelo ubulungu eqenjini lakhe buzovikela inkazimulo yasezulwini. Bonke baphoqeleka ukuba bavume ukuthi iBandla leqiniso yilona irekhodi eligcinwe ezulwini, hhayi emhlabeni. Bakhohlisa abantu bethi kunjalo kuyadingeka ukuza kuKristu ngabo—kuyadingeka ukuze babe ngamalungu omzimba othile wehlelo ukuze babe ngamalungu “omzimba kaKristu,” iSonto leqiniso. Ngokuphambene nalokho, iNkosi, ngenkathi ingazange yenqabe noma ngubani oza kuye ngehlelo, futhi engaphendulanga ofuna iqiniso ngeqiniso, isitshela ukuthi asidingi izithiyo ezinjalo, kodwa ngabe kungcono kakhulu ukuza kuye ukuqondisa. Uyakhala, “Woza kimi”; “Thatha ijoka lami phezu kwakho, ufunde kimi”; "Ijoka lami kulula futhi nomthwalo wami ulula, niyothola ukuphumula emiphefumulweni yenu." Ukube besililalele izwi lakhe kungekudala. Besizobe sigwema imithwalo eminingi esindayo yehlelo, ama-bogs alo amaningi okuphelelwa yithemba, izinqaba zayo eziningi ezingabazayo, izinkulumo zalo eziyize, amabhubesi alo omqondo womhlaba, njll.
Abaningi, noma kunjalo, abazalelwe emaqhekeni ahlukahlukene, noma batshalwe ebuntwaneni noma ebuntwaneni, ngaphandle kokubuza amasistimu, sebekhulile ngenhliziyo, futhi bengazi ngokungaphezu kwemingcele nemikhawulo yezivumokholo abazivumayo ngomsebenzi wabo nokusekelwa ngezindlela zabo nethonya labo . Bambalwa kwalaba abaye babona izinzuzo zenkululeko ephelele, noma izingqinamba zokugqilazwa kwehlelo. Futhi ukuhlukaniswa okugcwele, okuphelele kwakumelwe kuze kube manje, ngesikhathi sokuvuna.
