Inkinga ezohlolwa

Ekukhanyeni kwesiphetho kufinyelele ezingxenyeni zokuqala nezimbili zalolu chungechunge, okungukuthi amagama akuMathewu 28:19 kufanele abuyiselwe ku “nibabhapathize egameni lami ”, manje sizohlola ubhapathizo lwamaKristu ngokomongo weWatchtower Bible and Tract Society, okukholelwa ukuthi iyiNhlangano kaJehova esemhlabeni yoFakazi BakaJehova.

Kufanele siqale sihlole umlando wemibuzo yokubhabhadiswa esetshenziswe yiNhlangano selokhu yasungulwa.

Imibuzo Yokubhapathizwa yeNhlangano kusukela ngo-1870

Imibuzo Yokubhabhadiswa 1913

Emuva ngesikhathi sika-Bro CT Russell, imibuzo yobhapathizo nobhapathizo yayihluke kakhulu esimweni samanje sezinto. Qaphela ukuthi incwadi elandelayo ithini “Lokho Okushiwo Umfundisi URussell” kk35-36[i] uthi:

“UMBHABHADISO – Imibuzo Ebuzwa Abaqokiwe. Umbuzo 35: 3 :: UMBUZO (1913-Z) –3 – Yimiphi imibuzo evame ukubuzwa uMfoweth 'uRussell lapho ethola abazobhapathizwa ngokucwiliswa emanzini? IMPENDULO. – Uzoqaphela ukuthi basemigqeni ebanzi – imibuzo noma imuphi umKristu, noma ngabe uvuma ziphi izono, okufanele akwazi ukuyiphendula ngaphandle kokungabaza uma efanelekile ukwamukelwa njengelungu leSonto likaKristu: {Page Q36}

 (1) Usuphendukile esonweni ngokubuyiselwa okusemandleni akho, futhi wethemba emhlatjelweni womhlatshelo kaKristu wokuthethelelwa kwezono zakho kanye nesisekelo sokulungisiswa kwakho?

 (2) Ngabe uzinikele ngokugcwele ngawo onke amandla onawo - ithalente, imali, isikhathi, ithonya – konke eNkosini, ukuze isetshenziswe ngokwethembeka emsebenzini Wayo, kuze kube sekufeni?

 (3) Ngesisekelo salokhu kuvuma izono, siyakwazisa njengelungu leNdlu Yokholo, futhi sikunikeza isandla sokunene sobudlelwano, hhayi egameni lanoma yiliphi ihlelo noma iqembu noma isivumo sokholo, kodwa egameni zoMhlengi, iNkosi yethu ekhazinyulisiwe, nabalandeli Bayo abathembekile. ”

Kwakunjalo futhi ukuthi umuntu owayesebhaphathiziwe kwenye inkolo yobuKrestu akabuzwanga ukuthi abhaphathizwe futhi, njengoba lowo mbhikisho wangaphambilini wamukelwa futhi wahlonishwa njengosebenzayo.

Kodwa-ke, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi imibuzo nezidingo zobhapathizo zashintsha.

Imibuzo ngobhapathizo: 1945, February 1, INqabayokulinda (p44)

Ingabe kufanele ngibhapathizwe futhi? Esimweni esinjalo, impendulo inguyebo, uma, selokhu wafinyelela olwazini lweqiniso, usuzinikele ekwenzeni intando kaJehova, futhi uma ubungazange uzinikele phambilini, futhi uma ubhapathizo lwangaphambilini lwalungekho uphawu lokuzinikezela. Noma lowo muntu azi ukuthi wazinikezela esikhathini esedlule, uma afafazwa kuphela noma wathelwa ngamanzi emcimbini othile wezenkolo, akakabhapathizwa futhi kusamele enze uphawu lokubhabhadiswa kobuKristu phambi kofakazi ubufakazi bokuzinikela akwenzile. ”.

Izinkinga ezivelayo

Uzobona ushintsho olwenzeka kancane kancane lwamagama nokugcizelelwa emibuzweni yobhaphathizo ukuze kusukela ngo-1985, iNhlangano ibilokhu ifakiwe kwizifungo zokubhapathizwa futhi izithembiso zakamuva kakhulu zango-2019 zehlisa uMoya oNgcwele. Futhi, uJesu Kristu akasabandakanyeki ekwembuleni intando kaNkulunkulu (njengakwemibuzo ka-1973) kusukela emibuzweni yango-1985 kuze kube manje. Lokhu kungashiwo kanjani ukuthi kubhapathizwa egameni likaJesu, lapho kugcizelelwa kakhulu uJehova nenhlangano yakhe (yasemhlabeni)?

Iziphetho:

• ENhlanganweni ethi ilandela iBhayibheli eduze, ukubhapathizwa kwayo akulandeli isitayela sobuthathu uMathewu 28:19, kusukela ngo-2019, umoya ongcwele akukhulunywa ngawo.
• Inhlangano ayilandeli iphethini yasekuqaleni yemibhalo “egameni lami” / “egameni likaJesu” njengoba kugcizelelwa kuJehova ngoJesu njengolandela.

• Ingabe yilokho uJesu ayekucabanga lapho efundisa abafundi kuMathewu 28:19? Ngokuqinisekile CHA!

INguqulo Yezwe Elisha

Ngesikhathi kwenziwa ucwaningo lwezingxenye ezedlule kulolu chungechunge, umbhali wathola ukuthi umbhalo wokuqala kaMathewu 28:19 wawuthi “nibabhapathize egameni lami ” noma “nibabhabhathize ebizweni likaJesu”. Lokhu kuphakamise umbuzo wokuthi kungani iNhlangano ingazange ibuyekeze uMathewu 28:19 lapho ihumusha iNew World Translation. Lokhu kunjalo ikakhulukazi, uma ngabe bakulungisile ukufundwa kwenguqulo lapho bebona kufanele khona. Ikomidi labahumushi le-NWT lenze izinto ezinjengokufaka igama elithi “Nkosi” kufake elithi “Jehova”, lishiye izindima manje ezaziwa njengezingelona iqiniso, njll. Kuyamangaza futhi kakhulu kusukela ukufundwa okujwayelekile kukaMathewu 28:19 njengakwi-NWT kunikeza abanye ukusekela okulinganiselwe emfundisweni kaZiqu-zintathu.

Kodwa-ke, ukubukeza umkhuba wemibuzo yobhapathizo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kunikeza umkhondo oqinile wokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kungani kungenzwanga lutho kuMathewu 28:19. Emuva ngesikhathi sikaBro Russell, kwakugcizelelwa kakhulu kuJesu. Kodwa-ke, ikakhulukazi kusukela ngo-1945, lokhu kuye kwagxila kakhulu kuJehova ngendima kaJesu incipha kancane kancane. Kukhona ithuba elinamandla kakhulu, ngakho-ke, ukuthi ikomidi labahumushi le-NWT ngenhloso alizange lenze mizamo yokulungisa uMathewu 28:19 (ngokungafani nokufaka esikhundleni 'seNkosi' ufake 'uJehova' noma ngabe akunasizathu) ngoba lokho kuzosebenza ngokungqubuzana nemibuzo yobhapathizo yamanje nokugxila kwabo okunamandla kuJehova nakuNhlangano. Ukube iNhlangano yayilungise uMathewu 28:19 ngabe imibuzo yokubhabhadiswa izogqamisa ngokuqinile uJesu, lapho okuphambene nalokho sekuyiqiniso.

Ngokudabukisayo, njengoba isihloko esandulelayo sibonisa, akusikho ukuthi abukho ubufakazi obutholakala ngenkohliso engokomlando kaMathewu 28:19. Ezikhathini zanamuhla izifundiswa zazi ngalokhu futhi zabhala ngakho kusukela ekuqaleni kwama-1900s uma kungenjalo phambilini.

• Isazi okuthiwa uConybeare sabhala kakhulu ngalokhu ngo-1902-1903, futhi akusiyena kuphela.
• Exoxa ngoMathewu 28:19 nefomula kaZiqu-zintathu, emuva ngo-1901 uJames Moffatt encwadini yakhe IHistorical New Testament (1901) kushiwo ku-p648, (681 pdf online) "Ukusetshenziswa kwendlela yokubhabhadisa kungokwesikhathi esalandela leso sabaphostoli, abasebenzisa ibinzana elilula lokubhapathiza egameni likaJesu. Ukube le nkulumo ibikhona futhi isetshenziswa, kuyamangalisa ukuthi eminye imikhondo yayo bekungafanele isinde; lapho ireferensi yokuqala ngalo, ngaphandle kwalesi siqephu, ikuClem Rom. Futhi iDidache (Justin Martyr, Apol. I 61). ”[vi] Ukuhumusha kwakhe amaTestamente aDala naDala kuyintandokazi eNhlanganweni ngokusebenzisa kwakhe igama Laphezulu nokuhumusha kukaJohane 1: 1 phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngakho-ke kufanele bazi ukuphawula kwakhe kwezinye izindaba.

Ukubhapathizwa Kwezinsana Nezingane

Uma ungabuzwa umbuzo othi "Ngabe iNhlangano ifundisa ukubhabhadiswa kwezinsana noma izingane?", Ubungaphendula kanjani?

Impendulo ithi: Yebo, iNhlangano iyafundisa ngokubhabhadiswa kwezingane.

Isibonelo salokhu yisihloko esifundwayo se-Nqabayokulinda kaMashi 2018, esithi “Usiza ingane yakho ukuba ithuthuke iye ekubhapathizweni? ”. (Bheka ne-Nqabayokulinda efundwayo ka-December 2017 "Bazali- Sizani izingane zenu ukuba zibe 'Nobuhlakani Bensindiso'".

Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ukuphawula ingcaphuno elandelayo evela endatshaneni eku-inthanethi ethi “Ishintshe kanjani imfundiso yokubhabhadiswa"[vii]

“AMATHONSI ASEKELAYO ENKOLO

Esikhathini sangemva kwabaphostoli sekhulu lesibili leminyaka, kwaqala ukuhlubuka okwathinta izimfundiso eziningi zobuKristu, kwashiya nelilodwa iqiniso leBhayibheli elingenazo izithako zamaJuda noma zobuqaba.

Ziningi izinto ezisizile le nqubo. Enye yethonya elikhulu kwakuyinkolelo-ze, eyayizihlanganisa nezinkolo eziningi eziyimfihlakalo zobuqaba, lapho imicikilisho engcwele eyayenziwa ubupristi obuqaliswe ngenqubo eyimfihlakalo idlulisela ukuhlanzwa “okungokomoya”. Ngenkathi umqondo wokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo wamanzi obhapathizo ungena esontweni, ukubaluleka kwemfundiso engokomBhalo yokuphenduka empilweni yomamukeli kwehlisiwe. Inkolelo ekhulayo ekusebenzeni kahle kombhabhadiso yayihambisana nokwehluleka ukuqonda umqondo weTestamente Elisha wokusindiswa ngomusa kuphela.

Abazali abangamaKristu abakholelwa emandleni okubhabhadiswa ayimfihlakalo, anomlingo bahambisa amanzi "angcwelisayo" ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ezimpilweni zezingane zabo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umqondo ofanayo wenza abanye abazali basihlehlise isenzo sokubhapathizwa besaba isono sangemva kokubhapathizwa. Ngalesi sizathu umbusi uConstantine wabhabhadiswa okokuqala esembhedeni wokufa, ngoba wayekholelwa ukuthi umphefumulo wakhe uzohlanjululwa kunoma yimaphi amaphutha awenzile njengomuntu ofayo ngokusetshenziswa kwamagama angaqondakali namanzi anobhapathizo anenzuzo. Kodwa-ke, umkhuba wokubhabhadiswa kwezinsana waqina kancane kancane, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuba ubaba wesonto u-Augustine (owafa ngo-AD 430) abophe ukusebenza okuyimfihlakalo kokubhapathizwa kwezinsana ngemfundiso yesono sokuqala.

OBABA BE-POST-NICENE

Esikhathini sobaba abalandela iNicene (c. 381-600), ukubhabhadiswa kwabantu abadala kwaqhubeka kanye nokubhabhadiswa kwezinsana kwaze kwaba sekugcineni kwaba umkhuba ovamile ngekhulu lesihlanu. UMbhishobhi u-Ambrose waseMilan (oshone ngo-397) waqala ukubhapathizwa eneminyaka engama-34, yize wayeyindodana yabazali abangamaKristu. Bobabili uChrysostom (owashona ngo-407) noJerome (bafa abangama-420) babeseminyakeni engamashumi amabili lapho bebhapathizwa. Cishe ngo-AD 360 uBasil wathi "noma yisiphi isikhathi empilweni yomuntu silungele ukubhapathizwa," futhi uGregory waseNazianzus (owafa ngo-390), lapho ephendula umbuzo othi, "Sizobhapathiza izinsana na?" kwehliswa ngokuthi, "Impela uma ingozi isongela. Ngoba kungcono ukungcweliswa ungazi kunokusuka kule mpilo ungavulelwanga uniniti. ” Kodwa-ke, lapho ingekho ingozi yokufa, isahlulelo sakhe sasiwukuthi “kufanele balinde baze babe neminyaka emithathu ubudala lapho kungenzeka khona ukuthi bezwe futhi baphendule okuthile ngeSakramente. Okwamanje, noma bengaqondi ngokuphelele, nokho bazothola izinhlaka. ”

Lesi sitatimende sikhombisa inkinga ekhona njalo yezenkolo lapho umuntu efuna ukunamathela kokubili ezimisweni zeTestamente Elisha zokubhapathizwa (ukuzwa komuntu nokwamukelwa kwevangeli ngokukholwa) kanye nokukholelwa ekusebenzeni komlingo kwamanzi obhapathizo uqobo. Umqondo wakamuva wazuza amandla ngenkathi u-Augustine enza ukubhabhadiswa kwezinsana kukhansela icala lesono sokuqala futhi kwasungulwa ngokuqinile njengoba isonto lakha umqondo womusa wesakramente (umbono wokuthi amasakramente asebenza njengezithuthi zomusa waphezulu).

Ukuthuthuka okungokomlando kokubhapathizwa kwezinsana esontweni lasendulo kwaphawula ingqophamlando eMkhandlwini waseCarthage (418). Ngokokuqala ngqa umkhandlu wanquma isiko lokubhapathizwa kwezinsana: "Uma noma yimuphi umuntu ethi izingane ezisanda kuzalwa akudingeki zibhapathizwe… makaqalekiswe."

Uwaqaphele amanye amaphuzu aholele ekwamukelweni bese kuba yimfuneko eyisibopho yokubhapathizwa kwengane? Uke waqaphela la maphuzu noma amanye afana nawo ebandleni lakini noma lawo owaziyo?

• Inkolelo ekhulayo ekusebenzeni kahle kobhapathizo
  • Mashi 2018 Study Watchtower p9 para. 6 ishiwo “Namuhla, abazali abangamaKristu banesifiso esifanayo sokusiza izingane zabo zenze izinqumo ezihlakaniphile. Ukuhlehlisa ukubhapathizwa noma ukukubambezela ngokungadingekile kungadala izinkinga ezingokomoya. ”
• kwahambisana nokwehluleka ukuqonda umqondo weTestamente Elisha wokusindiswa ngomusa kuphela.
  • Ingcindezi yonke yezimfundiso zeNhlangano ukuthi uma singashumayeli njengoba bechaza ukuthi kudinga ukwenziwa ngeke sikwazi ukuthola insindiso.
• Abazali abangamaKristu abakholelwa emandleni okubhabhadiswa ayimfihlakalo, anomlingo bahambisa amanzi "angcwelisayo" ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ezimpilweni zezingane zabo.
  • Yize iningi labazali abangamaKristu lingaphika ukuthi likholelwa emandleni okubhabhadiswa ayimfihlakalo noma omlingo, kepha sona kanye isenzo sokwamukela ukubhaphathizwa kwezingane zabo zisencane, futhi ezimeni eziningi sifaka ingcindezi ezinganeni “ukuthi zingasali ngemuva ebandleni okuwukuphela kwentsha engabhapathiziwe ”noma kunjalo kusho ukuthi empeleni ngandlela thile bakholelwa ukuthi ngandlela thile (ngaphandle kwento yokusekela umbono wabo futhi ngenxa yalokho ngokuyindida) izingane zabo zingasindiswa ngokubhapathizwa zisencane.
• Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umqondo ofanayo wenza abanye abazali basihlehlise isenzo sokubhapathizwa besaba isono sangemva kokubhapathizwa.
  • Mashi 2018 Study Watchtower p11 para. 12 yathi, “Lapho echaza izizathu zakhe zokunqanda indodakazi yakhe ukuba ingabhapathizwa, omunye umama ongumKristu wathi, “Nginamahloni ukusho ukuthi isizathu esiyinhloko kwakuyilungiselelo lokususa ekuhlanganyeleni.” Njengalo dade, abanye abazali baye bacabanga ukuthi kungcono ngengane yabo ihlehlise ukubhapathizwa ize ikhiphe umkhuba wobuntwana wokuziphatha ngobuwula. "

Enhlanganweni, awukho yini umbono owandile wokuthi ukubhapathizwa esemncane kuzobavikela lapho sebekhulile? Wona lo mbhalo weSifundo Se-Nqabayokulinda uqokomisa okwenzeka kuBlossom Brandt owabhapathizwa eneminyaka engu-10 kuphela.[viii]. Ngokuhlala iqhakambisa iminyaka yobudala abanye ababhapathizwa ngayo, iNhlangano ixhasa ngokuthula futhi ifaka ingcindezi ezinganeni ezincane ukuthi zilahlekelwa okuthile uma zingabhapathiziwe. INqabayokulinda kaMashi 1, 1992 yathi ekhasini 27 “Ehlobo lika-1946, ngabhapathizwa emhlanganweni wezizwe eCleveland, e-Ohio. Yize ngangineminyaka eyisithupha kuphela ubudala, ngangizimisele ukufeza ukuzinikezela kwami ​​kuJehova ”.

Inhlangano ize iwashaye indiva amarekhodi omlando esanda kuwacaphuna. Ngemuva kokubuza umbuzo "Ngabe izingane zisesimweni sokuzinikezela ngokukhalipha? ImiBhalo ayinikezi zimfuneko zeminyaka yobudala yomuntu ngaphambi kokuba abhapathizwe.”, Ku-1 April 2006 Watchtower p. 27 para. 8, isihloko se-Nqabayokulinda bese sicaphuna isazi-mlando  “Ngokuphathelene namaKristu ekhulu lokuqala, isazi-mlando u-Augustus Neander encwadini yakhe ethi General History of the Christian Religion and Church uthi: “Ubhapathizo lwenziwa ekuqaleni kubantu abadala kuphela, njengoba amadoda ayejwayele ukucabanga ukuthi ubhapathizo nokholo kuhlobene ngokuqinile. ”[ix]. Kodwa-ke, isihloko se-Nqabayokulinda siqhubeka ngokushesha sithi "⁹ Endabeni yentsha, abanye bakhula ngezinga elithile ngokomoya besebancane, kuyilapho abanye bethatha isikhathi eside. Kodwa-ke, ngaphambi kokuba abhapathizwe, kufanele abe nobuhlobo bomuntu siqu noJehova, aziqonde kahle izisekelo zemiBhalo, futhi aqonde ngokucacile ukuthi ukuzinikezela kuhilelani, njengoba kunjalo ngabantu abadala. ”  Ingabe lokhu akukhuthazi ukubhapathizwa kwezingane?

Kuyathakazelisa ukufunda esinye isisho manje esivela ku-Augustus Neander mayelana namaKrestu ekhulu lokuqala ukuthiUmkhuba wokubhabhadisa abantwana wawungaziwa ngalesi sikhathi. . . . Lokho kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi njengo (u-Irenaeus (okungenani ngokuqinisekile hhayi ngaphambi kuka) [c. 120/140-c. 200/203 CE], kutholakala umkhondo wokubhapathizwa kwezinsana, nokuthi okokuqala kwaqashelwa njengesiko labaphostoli phakathi nekhulu lesithathu leminyaka, kungubufakazi obuphikisana nalokhu ukwamukela imvelaphi yabo yobuphostoli. ”-History of the Planting and Training of the Christian Church by the Apostles, 1844, ikhasi. 101-102. ”[X]

Bekungeke yini kube iqiniso ukusho ukuthi ubuKristu beqiniso buhilela ukuzama ukubuyela ezimfundisweni nasemikhubeni ecacile yamaKristu ekhulu lokuqala? Kungashiwo yini ngempela ukuthi ukukhuthaza nokuvumela izingane ezincane (ikakhulukazi ezingaphansi kweminyaka yobudala esemthethweni yokuba mdala - imvamisa iminyaka eyi-18 emazweni amaningi) ukuthi zibhapathizwe kuyavumelana nenkambiso yabaphostoli yekhulu lokuqala?

Ingabe ukuzinikezela kuJehova kuyisidingo sangaphambi kokubhapathizwa?

Ukunikezela kusho ukuhlukanisela injongo engcwele. Kodwa-ke, ukuseshwa kweTestamente Elisha / imiBhalo YamaKristu YesiGreki akuvezi lutho ngokuzinikezela komuntu siqu ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noma uKristu ngalokho. Igama ukuzinikezela (nokuvela kulo, ukunikela, ukunikela) lisetshenziswa kuphela kumongo weCorban, izipho ezinikelwe uNkulunkulu (Marku 7:11, Matewu 15: 5).

Ngakho-ke, lokhu kuphakamisa omunye umbuzo mayelana nezimfuneko zeNhlangano zokubhapathizwa. Ingabe kufanele sizinikezele kuJehova uNkulunkulu ngaphambi kokuba samukelwe ngobhapathizo? Abukho neze ubufakazi obungokomBhalo bokuthi buyimfuneko.

Yize kunjalo incwadi ethi Ukuhlelelwa p77-78 ithi “Uma umazi futhi umthanda uJehova ngokuhlangabezana nezimfuneko zaphezulu nangokuhlanganyela enkonzweni yasensimini, kudingeka uqinise ubuhlobo bakho naye. Kanjani? Ngokunikezela impilo yakho kuye futhi ubonise lokhu ngokubhapathizwa emanzini. — Math. 28:19, 20.

¹⁷ Ukunikezela kusho ukubeka eceleni ngenjongo engcwele. Ukuzinikezela kuNkulunkulu kusho ukuya kuye ngomthandazo bese umthembisa ukuthi uzosebenzisa ukuphila kwakho enkonzweni yakhe futhi uhambe ezindleleni zakhe. Kusho ukuzinikela kuye kuphela kuze kube phakade. (Dut. 5: 9) Lokhu kuyindaba yomuntu siqu, eyimfihlo. Akekho ongakwenzela yona.

¹⁸ Kodwa-ke, kufanele wenze okungaphezu kokutshela ngasese ukuthi ufuna ukuba owakhe. Udinga ukukhombisa abanye ukuthi usuzinikezele kuNkulunkulu. Ukwenza lokhu ngokubhapathizwa emanzini, njengoba noJesu enza. (1 Pet. 2:21; 3:21) Uma wenze isinqumo sokukhonza uJehova futhi ufuna ukubhapathizwa, yini okufanele uyenze?
