Incwadi entsha yenqubomgomo ebhalwe ngoSepthemba 1, 2017 ebandakanya ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane kwiNhlangano YoFakazi BakaJehova isanda kukhishwa i-Bodies of Elders in Australia. Ngesikhathi salokhu kubhalwa, asikazi okwamanje ukuthi ngabe le ncwadi imele ushintsho lwenqubomgomo yomhlaba wonke, noma uma ngabe isendaweni nje ukubhekana nezinkinga eziphakanyiswe yi I-Australia Royal Commission ibe Izimpendulo Zezikhungo Zokuhlukunyezwa Kwezingane Ngokobulili.

Okunye okutholwe yi-ARC ukuthi oFakazi babengenayo inqubomgomo eyanele ngokubhala isatshalaliswa kuwo wonke amabandla ngezindlela zokuphatha kahle ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi. OFakazi babethi banenqubomgomo, kodwa lokhu ngokusobala kwakungokomlomo.

Yini Engalungile Ngomthetho Womlomo?

Enye yezingqinamba ezavela njalo ezimpikiswaneni uJesu ayenazo nabaholi bezenkolo balolu suku yayihilela ukuthembela kwabo eMthethweni Womlomo. Akukho lungiselelo emiBhalweni lomthetho odluliselwa ngomlomo, kepha kubabhali, abaFarisi, nabanye abaholi benkolo, umthetho odluliselwa ngomlomo uvame ukufaka umthetho obhaliwe. Lokhu kwakunenzuzo enkulu kubo, ngoba kwabanika igunya phezu kwabanye; igunya ababengeke babe nalo. Nakhu ukuthi kungani:

Uma umIsrayeli ayethembele kuphela kumthetho obhaliwe, ukuhumusha kwabantu kwakungasho lutho. Igunya lokugcina futhi empeleni kuphela kwakunguNkulunkulu. Unembeza womuntu unquma ukuthi umthetho usebenza kangakanani. Kodwa-ke, ngomthetho odluliselwa ngomlomo, igama lokugcina lalivela emadodeni. Ngokwesibonelo, umthetho kaNkulunkulu wawuthi akukho emthethweni ukusebenza ngeSabatha, kodwa yini eyakha umsebenzi? Ngokusobala, ukusebenza emasimini, ukulima, ukulima, nokuhlwanyela, kungakha umsebenzi engqondweni yomuntu; kodwa kuthiwani ngokugeza? Ingabe ukushintsha impukane kungaba umsebenzi, uhlobo oluthile lokuzingela? Kuthiwani ngokuzilungisa ngokwakho? Ungakwazi yini ukukama izinwele zakho ngeSabatha? Kuthiwani ngokuhambahamba? Zonke izinto ezinjalo zazilawulwa yi-Oral Law yabantu. Isibonelo, umuntu angahamba ibanga elibekiwe ngeSabatha kuphela, ngokusho kwabaholi benkolo, ngaphandle kokwesaba ukwephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu. (Bheka Izenzo 1:12)

Esinye isici soMthetho Womlomo ukuthi uhlinzeka ngezinga elithile lokwenqaba. Okushiwo empeleni kufiphaza njengoba isikhathi sihamba. Njengoba kungekho lutho olubhaliwe phansi, umuntu angabuyela kanjani emuva ukuphonsela inselelo noma iyiphi indlela engeyona?

Ukushiyeka komthetho womlomo kwakukuningi kakhulu engqondweni kaSihlalo we-ArC eMarc 2017 Public Hearing  (Case Study 54) njengoba lokhu kucashunwe kombhalo wasenkantolo kukhombisa.

MR STEWART: UMnu Spinks, ngenkathi imibhalo manje ikwenza kucace ukuthi abasindile noma abazali babo kufanele batshelwe ukuthi, njengoba kubekiwe, banelungelo eliphelele lokubika, akuyona inqubomgomo ukubakhuthaza ukuthi babike, akunjalo?

UMNUZ SPINKS: Ngicabanga ukuthi lokho futhi akulungile, ngoba, njengoba imibiko ngodaba ngalunye olubikiwe kithi selokhu ukulalelwa komphakathi - bobabili uMnyango Wezomthetho kanye noMnyango Wezinsizakalo basebenzisa inkulumo efanayo, ukuthi kuyilungelo labo eliphelele ukubika, futhi abadala bazokusekela ngokugcwele ekwenzeni lokho.

USIHLALO: Mnu O'Brien, ngicabanga ukuthi iphuzu elibekwayo ukuthi yinto eyodwa ukuphendula, selokhu sabheka kuwe; enye into yokuthi uzobe wenzani eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo. Uyaqonda?

UMNU O'BRIEN: Yebo.

MR ISIQINISO: Iminyaka emihlanu ezayo, Udumo lwakho?

USIHLALO: Ngaphandle kokuthi inhloso iboniswa ngokucacile kumadokhumenti enqubomgomo yakho, kunethuba elihle kakhulu lokuthi uzovele uwe emuva. Uyaqonda?

MR SPINKS: Iphuzu lithathwe kahle, Mnumzane. Sikufake embhalweni wakamuva kakhulu futhi, uma sibheka emuva, kufanele kulungiswe kweminye imibhalo. Ngiyalithatha lelo phuzu.

USIHLALO: Sixoxile isikhashana ngezibopho zakho zokubika noma maqondana nomuntu ohlukunyeziwe. Lokho okungashiwo kulo mbhalo nakho, akunjalo?

UMNU SPINKS: Lokho kungaba yindaba yoMnyango Wezomthetho, uMhlonishwa, ngoba wonke amazwe - 

USIHLALO: Kungenzeka, kepha impela kuyindaba esemqulwini wenqubomgomo, akunjalo? Uma leyo kuyinqubomgomo yenhlangano, yilokho okufanele ukulandela.

I-MR SPINKS: Ngingakucela ukuthi uphinde futhi iphuzu elithile, ukuhlonipha kwakho?

Sihlalo: Yebo. Isibopho sokubika, lapho umthetho sidinga ulwazi lomuntu ohlukunyeziwe okhulunyiwe, akukhulunywa ngaso lapha.

Lapha sibona abamele iNhlangano bebonakala bevuma isidingo sokufaka emiyalweni yabo yenqubomgomo ebhaliwe emabandleni umbandela wokuthi abadala kufanele babike amacala okunukubezwa ngokocansi kwezingane ngokoqobo nalapho kunezinsolo lapho kunesidingo somthetho esicacile sokwenza lokho. Ngabe bakwenzile lokhu?

Ngokusobala akunjalo, njengoba lezi zingcaphuno ezivela encwadini zibonisa. [ngesibindi kufakiwe]

"Ngakho-ke, umuntu ohlukunyeziwe, abazali bakhe, noma omunye umuntu obika izinsolo ezinjalo kubadala kufanele aziswe ngokusobala ukuthi banelungelo lokubika udaba kubaphathi bezwe. Abadala abagxeki noma ngubani okhetha ukwenza lowo mbiko. — Gal. I-6: 5. ”- isig. I-3.

EyabaseGalathiya 6: 5 ithi: “Ngoba yilowo nalowo uyothwala owakhe umthwalo.” Ngakho-ke uma sizosebenzisa lo mbhalo odabeni lokubika ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane, kuthiwani ngomthwalo othwalwa ngabadala? Bathwala umthwalo osindayo ngokukaJakobe 3: 1. Akufanele yini nabo babike ubugebengu kuziphathimandla?

“Ukucatshangelwa Kwezomthetho: Ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane kuyicala. Kwezinye iziphathimandla, abantu abathola ukuthi kunezinsolo zokuhlukumeza izingane kungabophezeleka emthethweni ukuba babike lokho kubaphathi bezwe. — Roma. 13: 1-4. ” - isig. 5.

Kuvela ukuthi isikhundla seNhlangano ukuthi umKristu kudingeka ukuthi abike kuphela ubugebengu uma yayalelwa ngokuqondile ukwenza kanjalo yiziphathimandla zikahulumeni.

“Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abadala bahambisana nemithetho yokubika yokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane, kufanele kube nabadala ababili masinyane shayela uMnyango Wezomthetho ehhovisi legatsha ukuze bathole izeluleko ezingokomthetho lapho abadala bezwa ngecala lokuhlukumeza izingane. ”- isig. I-6.

"UMnyango Wezomthetho uzohlinzeka ngezeluleko zomthetho ngokusekelwe emaqinisweni nasemthethweni osebenzayo. ”- isigaba. I-7.

“Uma abadala bezwa umuntu omdala ohlanganyela nebandla elihlanganyele kuzo ezocansi zezingane, abadala ababili kufanele bashayele uMnyango Wezomthetho ngokushesha. ”- isigaba. I-9

"Uma kwenzeka lokhu ukuthi laba badala ababili bakholelwe ukuthi kufanele ukukhuluma nengane ehlukunyezwa ngokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi, abadala kufanele baqale bathinte uMnyango Wenkonzo. ”- isigaba. I-13.

Ngakho-ke noma ngabe abadala bazi ukuthi umthetho wezwe udinga ukuthi babike ubugebengu, kusamele baqale babize ideski elisemthethweni elizonikezwa umthetho odluliselwa ngomlomo ngale ndaba. Akukho lutho encwadini olusikisela noma oludinga ukuthi abadala babike ubugebengu kubaphathi.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma owonile ephenduka futhi esolwa, kufanele kumenyezelwe ebandleni ukusolwa. ”- Umhl. I-14.

Lokhu kuvikela kanjani ibandla?  Abakwaziyo wukuthi umuntu wona ngandlela thile. Mhlawumbe wadakwa, noma wabanjwa ebhema. Isimemezelo esijwayelekile asibonisi ukuthi umuntu wenzeni, futhi ayikho indlela yokuthi abazali bazi ukuthi izingane zabo zingaba sengozini yesoni esixolelwe, esihlala singumhlaseli.

“Abadala bazokwaziswa ukuthi baxwayise lowo muntu ukuthi angabi yedwa nomntwana, hhayi ukuba akhe ubungane nabancane, angakhombisi uthando ngabancane, njalonjalo. UMnyango Wenkonzo uzoyalela abadala ukuthi bazise izinhloko zemindeni zabantwana abasebandleni ngesidingo sokubheka ukusebenzisana kwezingane zabo nomuntu ngamunye. Abadala bazothatha lesi sinyathelo kuphela uma beyalelwe ukuba benze njalo nguMnyango Wenkonzo. ”- isig. I-18.

Ngakho-ke kuphela uma beqondiswa ukwenza kanjalo ngeDeski Lenkonzo lapho abadala bavunyelwe ukuba baxwayise abazali ukuthi kukhona umdlwenguli ophakathi kwabo. Umuntu angacabanga ukuthi lesi sitatimende siveza ubuqili baba benzi benqubomgomo, kepha akunjalo njengoba lokhu kukhonjisiwe:

“Ukuhlukumeza ngokocansi kwezingane kuveza ubuthakathaka benyama bungemvelo. Isipiliyoni sikhombisile ukuthi umuntu omdala onjalo angahlukumeza ezinye izingane. Kuliqiniso, akusibo boke abantwana abatlhorisa abaphindayo isono, kodwana abanengi bayasenza. Futhi ibandla alikwazi ukufunda izinhliziyo ukuthi zisho ukuthi ngubani futhi ongabophisi izingane ezinukubeza futhi. (UJeremia 17: 9) Ngakho-ke, isiyalo sikaPawulu kuThimothi sisebenza ngamandla akhethekile kubantu abadala ababhapathizwayo abaye bahlukumeza izingane: 'Ungalokothi ubeke izandla zakho ngokuphuthumayo kunoma yimuphi umuntu; futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye. ' (I-1 Timothy 5: 22). ”- isig. I-19.

Bayazi ukuthi amandla okuphinda ukona akhona, kepha nokho balindele ukuthi isexwayiso esonweni sanele? “Abadala bazoqondiswa xwayisa umuntu ungalokothi ube wedwa nomuntu osemncane. ” Ngabe lokho akufani nokufaka impungushe phakathi kwezinkukhu uyitshele ukuthi iziphathe kahle?

Qaphela kukho konke lokhu ukuthi abadala abasanikezwa imvume yokusebenza ngaphansi kokuqonda kwabo. Abathembekile bazophikisa ukuthi umyalo wokuthi kufonelwe ihhovisi legatsha kuqala ukumane uthole izeluleko ezingcono kakhulu zomthetho ngaphambi kokubiza iziphathimandla, noma mhlawumbe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abadala abangenalwazi benza okulungile ngokusemthethweni nangokuziphatha. Noma kunjalo, umlando udweba isithombe esihlukile. Empeleni, okuqiniswa yile ncwadi wukulawula okuphelele kulezi zimo iNdikimba Ebusayo efuna ukuthi amagatsha aqhubeke nokuzivocavoca. Ukube abadala bebethola nje izeluleko zomthetho ezinengqondo ngaphambi kokuxhumana neziphathimandla zomphakathi, kungani kungekho noyedwa wabo owelulekwa ukuba axhumane namaphoyisa e-Australia emacaleni angaphezu kwe-1,000 XNUMX okuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi? Kwakukhona futhi kungumthetho ezincwadini e-Australia odinga izakhamizi ukuthi zibike ubugebengu, noma ngisho nokusolwa kobugebengu. Lowo mthetho wawunganakwa izikhathi ezingaphezu kwenkulungwane yihhovisi legatsha lase-Australia.

IBhayibheli alisho ukuthi ibandla lobuKristu liyisizwe noma izwe elithile, elifana kodwa ngaphandle kweziphathimandla zezwe ezinohulumeni wazo ophethwe ngabantu. Esikhundleni salokho, amaRoma 13: 1-7 asitshela ukuthi uhambise 'emagunyeni aphakeme' abizwa nangokuthi “isikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu ukuze kuzuze nina.” KwabaseRoma 3: 4 kuyaqhubeka, “Kepha uma wenza okubi, yesaba, ngoba ayithwali inkemba ngaphandle kwenjongo. Kuyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu, umphindiseli wokubonisa ulaka kulowo owenza okubi. ” Amagama aqinile! Yize kunjalo amagama iNhlangano ibonakala ingawanaki. Kubukeka sengathi isikhundla noma inqubomgomo engashiwongo yeNdikimba Ebusayo ukuthobela "ohulumeni basemhlabeni" kuphela lapho kunomthetho othize obatshela ngqo okufanele bakwenze. (Futhi-ke, hhayi ngaso sonke isikhathi uma i-Australia iyinto ezodlula.) Ngamanye amazwi, oFakazi akudingeki bazithobe kuziphathimandla ngaphandle uma kunomthetho othize obatshela ukuthi benze kanjalo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, iNhlangano, "njengesizwe esinamandla" uqobo lwayo, yenza lokho uhulumeni wayo othi akwenze. Kubukeka sengathi iNdikimba Ebusayo imsebenzise kabi u-Isaya 60:22 ngezinjongo zayo.

Njengoba oFakazi bebheka ohulumeni bezwe njengababi nababi, abazizwa benesidingo sokulalela. Balalela ngombono wokugcina umthetho kuphela, hhayi okokuziphatha. Ukuchaza ukuthi lesi simo sengqondo sisebenza kanjani, lapho abazalwane benikezwa omunye umsebenzi wokubuthelwa ebusosheni, bayalelwa ukuthi benqabe. Kodwa-ke lapho begwetshwa ejele ngenxa yokwenqaba kwabo, futhi kudingeka ukuthi benze enye inkonzo abenqabile ngayo, batshelwa ukuthi bangathobela. Banomuzwa wokuthi bangalalela uma bephoqelelwa, kepha ukulalela ngokuzithandela kungukuyekethisa okholweni lwabo. Ngakho-ke uma kunomthetho ophoqa oFakazi ukuba babike ubugebengu, bayalalela. Kodwa-ke, uma imfuneko ingeyokuzithandela, babonakala benomuzwa wokuthi ukubika ubugebengu kufana nokusekela isimiso esibi sikaSathane nohulumeni baso ababi. Umcabango wokuthi ngokubika emhlukumeza ngokocansi emaphoyiseni kungenzeka ukuthi usiza ukuvikela omakhelwane bawo bezwe engozini awungeni ezingqondweni zabo. Eqinisweni, isimilo sezenzo zabo noma ukungasebenzi kwabo akuyona nje into ebhekwayo. Ubufakazi balokhu buyabonakala kusuka le vidiyo. Umfowethu obomvu ubambe ongezansi ngombuzo abuzwe wona. Akukhona ukuthi wakushaya indiva ngamabomu ukuphepha kwabanye, noma wababeka engozini ngamabomu. Cha, okubuhlungu wukuthi akakaze anikeze nethuba lokucabanga.

I-JW Prejudice

Lokhu kungiletha ekuboneni okushaqisayo. NjengoFakazi kaJehova okwempilo yami yonke, ngangiziqhenya ngomcabango wokuthi sasingahlushwa ubandlululo lomhlaba. Akunandaba ukuthi ungowaluphi uhlanga noma uzalo lwakho, wawungumfowethu. Lokho kwakuyingxenye enkulu yokuba ngumKristu. Manje sengiyabona ukuthi nathi sinobandlululo lwethu. Ingena engqondweni ngobuqili futhi ayikaze iyenze ibonakale ebusweni bolwazi, kepha kukhona okufanayo futhi kuthinta isimo sethu sengqondo nezenzo zethu. “Abantu basemhlabeni”, okungukuthi, abangebona ofakazi, bangaphansi kwethu. Kakade, bamlahlile uJehova futhi bayokufa kuze kube phakade e-Armagedoni. Singalindelwa kanjani ukuba sibabheke njengabalinganayo? Ngakho-ke uma kukhona isigebengu esingadla izingane zabo, kulungile lokho kubi kakhulu, kepha benze umhlaba ukuthi ube yini. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, thina asiyona ingxenye yomhlaba. Uma nje sivikela okwethu, silungile kuNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu uyasithanda, ngenkathi ezobhubhisa bonke abasemhlabeni. Ubandlululo lusho ngokwezwi nezwi, "ukwahlulela kuqala", futhi yilokho kanye esikwenzayo nokuthi siqeqeshelwe kanjani ukucabanga nokuphila impilo yethu njengoFakazi BakaJehova. Okuwukuphela kwemvume esiyenzayo kulapho sizama ukusiza le miphefumulo elahlekile ukuba yazi ngoJehova uNkulunkulu.

Lokhu kubandlulula kubonakala ngezikhathi zenhlekelele engokwemvelo njengalokho okusanda kwenzeka eHouston. Ama-JWs azonakekela awabo, kodwa ukufaka izindlela ezinkulu zokusiza ukusiza ezinye izisulu kubhekwa oFakazi njengokuhlela kabusha izihlalo zemikhumbi eTitanic. Uhlelo seluzobhujiswa uNkulunkulu kunoma yikuphi, ngakho-ke kungani uzihlupha? Lo akuwona umcabango oqondayo futhi akuwona neze ozwakalayo, kepha uhlala ngaphansi kwengqondo eqaphelayo, lapho kuhlala khona ubandlululo-konke kuyakholisa ngoba akuqondakali.

Singaba kanjani nothando oluphelele — singaba kanjani sikuKristu-Uma singeke sinikele konke esinakho ngenxa yezoni. (UMathewu 5: 43-48; Roma 5: 6-10)
