Ingabe ukusindiswa kwethu njengamaKristu kuncike ekugcineni iSabatha? Amadoda anjengoMark Martin, owake waba uFakazi KaJehova, ashumayela ukuthi amaKristu kumelwe agcine iSabatha lamasonto onke ukuze asindiswe. Njengoba ekuchaza, ukugcina iSabatha kusho ukubekela eceleni isikhathi samahora angama-24 phakathi kuka-6:6 ngoLwesihlanu kuya ku-XNUMX ntambama ngoMgqibelo ukuze kumiswe ukusebenza futhi kukhulekelwe uNkulunkulu. Ugomela ngokuthi ukugcina iSabatha (ngokwekhalenda lamaJuda) yikho okuhlukanisa amaKristu eqiniso kumaKristu amanga. Kwividiyo yakhe ethi Hope Prophecy ethi “Sihlose Ukushintsha Isikhathi Nomthetho” usho kanje:

“Niyababona abantu abakhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa weqiniso babuthana ngesabatha. Uma ukhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa weqiniso lolu kwakuwusuku alukhethayo. Ibonakalisa abantu bakhe futhi ibahlukanise nezwe lonke. Futhi amaKristu akwaziyo lokhu futhi akholelwa osukwini lweSabatha, kuyawahlukanisa neningi lobuKristu.”

UMark Martin akuyena yedwa oshumayela ukuthi umyalo wokugcina iSabatha uyimfuneko kumaKristu. Amalungu abhapathiziwe ayizigidi ezingu-21 eSonto LamaSabatha nawo kudingeka agcine iSabatha. Eqinisweni, kubaluleke kakhulu ekukhonzeni kwabo kwezenkolo, kangangokuthi baye bazibiza ngegama elithi “Seventh-day Adventist,” okusho ukuthi “amaSabatha”.

Uma ngempela kuyiqiniso ukuthi kufanele sigcine iSabatha ukuze sisindiswe, khona-ke kubonakala sengathi uJesu wayenephutha lapho ethi uthando lwaluyoba inkomba yamaKristu eqiniso. Mhlawumbe uJohane 13:35 kufanele afundeke, “ngalokho bonke bayakukwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma nigcina isifundiso isabatha.” “Ngalokho bonke bayakukwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma ninothando phakathi kwenu.”

Ubaba wakhuliswa eHabe, kodwa waguquka waba omunye woFakazi BakaJehova ekuqaleni kwawo-1950. Nokho, ubabekazi nogogo, bakhetha ukuba ngamaSeventh-day Adventist. Ngemva kokwenza lolu cwaningo ebandleni lamaSeventh-day Adventist, ngibone ukufana okudidayo phakathi kwalezi zinkolo ezimbili.

Angikholwa ukuthi kufanele sigcine iSabatha lamasonto onke ngendlela uMark Martin nebandla leSDA abashumayela ngayo. Akuyona imfuneko yensindiso esekelwe ocwaningweni lwami. Ngicabanga ukuthi uzobona kulolu chungechunge lwevidiyo enezingxenye ezimbili ukuthi iBhayibheli aliyisekeli imfundiso yamaSeventh-day Adventist ngalolu daba.

Ngokuqinisekile, uJesu wayeligcina iSabatha ngoba wayengumJuda owayephila ngesikhathi isimiso somthetho sasisasebenza. Kodwa lokho kwakusebenza kumaJuda ngaphansi komthetho kuphela. AmaRoma, amaGreki, nabo bonke abanye abezizwe babengekho ngaphansi kweSabatha, ngakho uma lowomthetho wamaJuda wawuzoqhubeka nokusebenza ngemva kokuba uJesu egcwalise umthetho njengoba kwakuprofethiwe ukuthi wayezokwenza, umuntu wayengalindela isiqondiso esicacile esivela eNkosini yethu ngale ndaba, nokho. akukho lutho oluvela kuye nanoma yimuphi omunye umbhali ongumKristu ositshela ukuthi sigcine iSabatha. Ivelaphi-ke leyo mfundiso? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi umthombo wokucabanga oholela izigidi zamaSabatha ukuba zigcine iSabatha uwumthombo ofanayo oye waholela izigidi zoFakazi BakaJehova ukuba zenqabe ukudla isinkwa newayini okufanekisela inyama negazi likaJesu elisindisa ukuphila. Kungani abantu bethatheka ngemicabango yabo yobuhlakani esikhundleni sokwamukela lokho ekusho ngokucacile emBhalweni?

Imuphi umqondo wobuhlakani oholela laba befundisi nabefundisi ekukhuthazeni ukugcinwa kweSabatha? Iqala ngale ndlela:

Imiyalo engu-10 uMose awehlisa entabeni ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe imelela isimiso sokuziphatha esingaphelelwa yisikhathi. Isibonelo, umthetho wesi-6 usitshela ukuthi singabulali, owesi-7, ukuthi singaphingi, owesi-8, singebi, owesi-9, singaqambi amanga... ikhona yini kule miyalo esesasebenza? Vele akunjalo! Pho kungani singabheka owesine, umthetho omayelana nokugcina iSabatha lokuphumula, njengongasebenzi? Njengoba singeke sephule eminye imithetho—ukubulala, ukweba, ukuqamba amanga—pho-ke kungani siphula umthetho wokugcina iSabatha?

Inkinga ngokuncika emibonweni nasekuhlakanipheni kwabantu ukuthi asivamile ukubona zonke izinto eziguquguqukayo. Asiziboni zonke izici ezithinta indaba, futhi ngenxa yokuqhosha, sithuthuka silandela ukuthambekela kwethu esikhundleni sokuvumela ukuqondiswa umoya ongcwele. Njengoba uPawulu atshela amaKristu aseKorinte ayehamba phambili:

“Umbhalo uthi, “Ngizochitha ukuhlakanipha kwabahlakaniphileyo futhi ngisuse ukuqonda kwabafundi.” Pho, lokho kubashiyaphi abahlakaniphileyo? noma izifundiswa? noma abaphikisi abahlakaniphileyo balumhlaba na? UNkulunkulu ubonakalisile ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kwaleli zwe kuwubuwula! ( 1 Korinte 1:19, 20 ) IBhayibheli lesiZulu elivamile.

Bafowethu nodadewethu, akufanele nanini sithi, “Ngikholwa lokhu noma lokhuya, ngoba isho lendoda, noma leyondoda ithi.” Sonke singabantu nje abafayo, ngokuvamile abalungile. Manje, kunanini ngaphambili, kunendathane yolwazi esisesandleni sethu, kodwa konke kuvela emqondweni womuntu othile. Kumelwe sifunde ukuzindla ngokwethu futhi siyeke ukucabanga ukuthi ngenxa nje yokuthi into ethile ivela embhalweni noma kuyi-Internet kufanele kube yiqiniso, noma ngenxa nje yokuthi sithanda othile ozwakala ezwakala futhi enengqondo, khona-ke abakushoyo kufanele kube yiqiniso.

UPhawuli uphinda asikhumbuze ukuthi “singalandeli imikhuba lemikhuba yalelizwe, kodwa uvumele uNkulunkulu akuguqule ube ngumuntu omutsha ngokuguqula indlela ocabanga ngayo. Khona-ke uyofunda ukwazi intando kaNkulunkulu ngawe, enhle, ethandekayo, nephelele.” (Funda amaRoma 12:2.)

Ngakho-ke umbuzo osalayo, ingabe kufanele sigcine iSabatha? Siye safunda ukutadisha iBhayibheli ngendlela echazayo, okusho ukuthi sivumela iBhayibheli lembule incazelo yomlobi weBhayibheli kunokuba siqale ngombono osuvele ucatshangwa ukuthi umlobi wokuqala wayesho ukuthini. Ngakho-ke, ngeke sicabange ukuthi siyalazi iSabatha nokuthi ligcinwa kanjani. Kunalokho, sizovumela iBhayibheli lisitshele. Ithi eNcwadini ka-Eksodusi:

“Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ulungcwelise. Izinsuku eziyisithupha uyakusebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho, kepha usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi msebenzi ngalo, wena, nendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, nesigqila sakho, nesigqilakazi sakho, nezinkomo zakho, noma ohlala nawe. Ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho, waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, walungcwelisa.” ( Eksodusi 20:8-11 ) IBhayibheli lesiZulu elivamile.

Yilokho kuphela! Leyo yisamba somthetho weSabatha. Uma wawungumIsrayeli ngesikhathi sikaMose, yini okwakumelwe uyenze ukuze ugcine iSabatha? Kulula lokho. Kuzodingeka uthathe usuku lokugcina lwesonto lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa futhi ungenzi msebenzi. Ubuzothatha usuku emsebenzini. Usuku lokuphumula, ukuphumula, khululeka. Lokho akubonakali kunzima kakhulu, akunjalo? Emphakathini wanamuhla, abaningi bethu bathatha izinsuku ezimbili emsebenzini… 'ngempelasonto' futhi siyayithanda impelasonto, akunjalo?

Ingabe umyalo ngeSabatha wawutshela ama-Israyeli ukuthi enzeni ngeSabatha? Cha! Yabatshela okungamele bakwenze. Yabatshela ukuthi bangasebenzi. Awukho umyalo wokukhulekela ngeSabatha, akunjalo? Ukube uJehova wayebatshelile ukuthi kufanele bamkhonze ngeSabatha, lokho kwakungeke yini kusho ukuthi kwakungadingeki bamkhulekele ngezinye izinsuku eziyisithupha? Ukukhulekela kwabo uNkulunkulu kwakungagcini ngosuku olulodwa, futhi kwakungasekelwe emkhosini osemthethweni emakhulwini eminyaka alandela isikhathi sikaMose. Kunalokho, babenalo myalelo:

“Yizwa, Israyeli, uJehova unguNkulunkulu wethu. uJehova munye. Wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho. Lawa mazwi engikuyala ngawo namuhla ayakuba senhliziyweni yakho; uwafundise kubantwana bakho, ukhulume ngawo lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, nalapho uhamba endleleni, nalapho ulala, nalapho uvuka.” ( Duteronomi 6:4-7 ) IBhayibheli lesiZulu elivamile.

Kulungile, lowo kwakungu-Israyeli. Kuthiwani ngathi? Ingabe thina njengamaKristu kufanele sigcine iSabatha?

Nokho, iSabatha liwumthetho wesine eMithethweni Eyishumi, futhi iMithetho Eyishumi iyisisekelo soMthetho KaMose. Afana nomthethosisekelo wawo, akunjalo? Ngakho uma kufanele sigcine iSabatha, kufanele sigcine uMthetho KaMose. Kodwa siyazi ukuthi akudingekile ukuba sigcine umthetho kaMose. Sazi kanjani lokho? Ngoba wonke lo mbuzo waxazululwa eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule lapho abashisekeli benkolo ethile yobuJuda bezama ukukhuthaza ukwethulwa kokusoka phakathi kwamaKristu ezizwe. Uyabona, ukusoka bakubona kuwunqenqema oluncane oluzobavumela ukuba bangenise kancane kancane wonke umthetho kaMose phakathi kwamaKristu abeZizwe ukuze benze ubuKristu bamukeleke kakhudlwana kumaJuda. Ayeshukunyiswa ukwesaba ukucwaswa kwamaJuda. Babefuna ukuba ingxenye yomphakathi omkhulu wamaJuda futhi bangashushiswa ngenxa kaJesu Kristu.

Ngakho yonke le mpikiswano yafika phambi kwebandla laseJerusalema, futhi isiqondiso somoya ongcwele saxazululwa. Isinqumo esakhishwa kuwo wonke amabandla sasiwukuthi amaKristu abeZizwe ayengeke athweswe umthwalo wokusoka nanoma yimuphi omunye umthetho wamaJuda. Batshelwa ukuthi bagweme izinto ezine kuphela:

“Kwabonakala kukuhle kuMoya oNgcwele nakithi ukuba ningathwesi lutho olungaphezu kwalezi zimfuneko: nidede ekudleni okuhlatshelwe izithombe, negazi, nenyama eklinyiweyo, nobufebe. Uyobe wenza kahle ngokuzigwema lezi zinto.” ( IzEnzo 15:28, 29 ) Berean Study Bible

Lezi zinto ezine zonke zaziyimikhuba evamile emathempelini amaqaba, ngakho okuwukuphela kwesivimbelo esasibekwe phezu kwalaba ababengamaqaba manje asebephenduke amaKristu kwakuwukudeda ezintweni ezingase zibabuyisele ekukhulekeleni kobuqaba.

Uma namanje kungakasicaceli ukuthi umthetho wawungasasebenzi kumaKristu, bheka la mazwi okusola avela kuPawulu kwabaseGalathiya ababengamaKrestu angabezizwe futhi beyengwa ukuba balandele amaJudizaers (amaJuda angamaKristu) ayehlehla. ekuthembeleni emisebenzini yomthetho ekungcwelisweni;

“O maGalathiya angenangqondo! Ubani okuthakathile? Phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu wabonakaliswa ngokusobala ebethelwe esiphambanweni. Ngingathanda ukufunda into eyodwa nje kuwe: Namamukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomthetho noma ngokuzwa ngokukholwa na? Niyiziwula kangaka? Ngemva kokuqala ngoMoya, ingabe manje seniqeda enyameni? Ingabe nahlupheka kangaka ngeze, uma ngempela bekuyize? Ingabe uNkulunkulu uthululela uMoya wakhe phezu kwenu futhi enze izimangaliso phakathi kwenu ngoba nenza umthetho, noma ngoba nizwa futhi nikholwa na?” ( Galathiya 3:1-5 )

“Kungenxa yenkululeko ukuthi uKristu wasikhulula. Ngakho-ke yimani niqine, ningaphinde nisindwe yijoka lobugqila. Nanzelelani: Mina, Pawuli, ngithi kini: Nxa lisoka, uKhristu kayikuba lalutho kini.. Ngiyaphinda ngiyafakaza kumuntu wonke osokayo ukuthi ubophekile ukuwugcina wonke umthetho. Nina enifuna ukulungisiswa ngomthetho senihlukanisiwe noKristu; uwile emseni.”  ( Galathiya 5:1-4 )

Uma umKristu kwakufanele asokwe, uPawulu uthi babeyophoqeleka ukulalela wonke umthetho ohlanganisa iMithetho eyi-10 nomthetho wawo ngeSabatha kanye nawo wonke amakhulu eminye imithetho. Kodwa lokho kwakuyosho ukuthi babezama ukulungisiswa noma kwathiwa balungile ngomthetho futhi kanjalo ‘babeyohlukaniswa noKristu. Uma uhlukanisiwe noKristu, kusho ukuthi uhlukanisiwe nensindiso.

Manje, ngizwile izimpikiswano ezivela kumaSabatha bethi iMithetho eyi-10 yehlukile emthethweni. Kodwa akukho ndawo emBhalweni lapho kuhlukaniswa khona. Ubufakazi bokuthi imiyalo eyi-10 yayiboshelwe emthethweni nokuthi wonke amakhodi ayesedlulile kumaKristu butholakala kula mazwi kaPawulu:

“Ngakho makungabikho muntu onahlulelayo ngalokho enikudlayo noma ngokuphuzayo, noma ngemikhosi, nokuthwasa kwenyanga, noma isabatha.” ( Kolose 2:16 )

Imithetho yezokudla ehlanganisa lokho umIsrayeli ayengakudla noma ukukuphuza kwakuyingxenye yomthetho owandisiwe, kodwa umthetho weSabatha wawuyingxenye yemithetho eyi-10. Nokho lapha, uPawulu awenzi mahluko phakathi kwalokhu kokubili. Ngakho, umKristu wayengayidla ingulube noma cha, futhi kwakungeyona indaba kabani kodwa eyakhe. LowomKristu ofanayo wayengakhetha ukugcina iSabatha noma akhethe ukungaligcini futhi, futhi, kwakungekhona kunoma ubani ukwahlulela ukuthi lokhu kuhle noma kubi. Kwakuyindaba kanembeza womuntu siqu. Kulokhu, siyabona ukuthi ukugcinwa kweSabatha kumaKristu ekhulu lokuqala kwakungeyona indaba ukusindiswa kwawo okwakuncike kuyo. Ngamanye amazwi, uma ufuna ukugcina iSabatha, gcina, kodwa ungahambi ushumayela ukuthi ukusindiswa kwakho, noma ukusindiswa kwanoma ubani omunye, kuncike ekugcineni iSabatha.

Lokhu kufanele kwanele ukulahla wonke umqondo wokuthi ukugcina iSabatha kuyindaba yokusindiswa. Ngakho, iSonto Lama-Seventh Day Adventist libhekana kanjani nalokhu? UMark Martin ukwazi kanjani ukukhuthaza umbono wakhe wokuthi kufanele sigcine iSabatha ukuze sithathwe njengamaKrestu angempela?

Ake singene kulokhu ngoba yisibonelo sakudala sokuthi kanjani eisegesis ingasetshenziswa ukuphendukezela imfundiso yeBhayibheli. Khumbula eisegesis yilapho sibeka khona eyethu imibono emBhalweni, sivame ukucosha ivesi ngokunganaki futhi singanaki ingqikithi yalo yombhalo nomlando ukuze sisekele imfundiso yesiko lenkolo kanye nesakhiwo salo senhlangano.

Sabona ukuthi iSabatha njengoba lichazwe emithethweni eyi-10 lalimayelana nokuthatha usuku emsebenzini. Nokho, iSonto Lama-Adventist Seventh Day lidlulela ngale kwalokho. Thatha, isibonelo, lesi sitatimende esivela kuwebhusayithi ye-Adventist.org:

“ISabatha “liwuphawu lokuhlengwa kwethu kuKristu, uphawu lokungcweliswa kwethu, uphawu lokwethembeka kwethu, nokunambitha ikusasa lethu laphakade embusweni kaNkulunkulu, futhi liwuphawu lwaphakade lwesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu saphakade phakathi kwakhe nabantu bakhe. ” (Kusuka ku-Adventist.org/the-sabbath/)

Isonto le-St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist lifaka izimangalo kusizindalwazi salo:

IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi labo abamukela isipho sobuntu bukaKristu bayogcina iSabatha Lakhe njengophawu noma uphawu lokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo okungokomoya. Kanjalo abantu abamukelayo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu lwezinsuku zokugcina bazakuba ngabagcini besabatha.

Uphawu lukaNkulunkulu lwezinsuku zokugcina lunikezwa lawo makholwa angamaKristu angayikufa kodwa ayobe ephila lapho uJesu efika.

(Isizindalwazi seSt. Helena Seventh-Day Adventist [https://sthelenaca.adventistchurch.org/about/worship-with-us/bible-studies/dr-erwin-gane/the-sabbath-~-and-salvation])

Empeleni, lesi akusona ngisho isibonelo esihle eisegesis ngoba akukho mzamo lapha wokufakazela noma yikuphi kwalokhu ngomBhalo. Lawa amazwi anempandla adluliswa njengezimfundiso ezivela kuNkulunkulu. Uma uke waba uFakazi KaJehova, lokhu kumelwe kuzwakale kuyinto evamile kuwe. Njengoba nje kungekho lutho emBhalweni olusekela umbono wesizukulwane esidlulanayo esikala ubude bezinsuku zokugcina, akukho lutho emBhalweni olukhuluma ngeSabatha njengophawu lukaNkulunkulu lwezinsuku zokugcina. Akukho lutho emBhalweni olulinganisa usuku lokuphumula nokungcweliswa, ukulungisiswa, noma ukuthiwa ulungile emehlweni kaNkulunkulu ukuze uthole ukuphila okuphakade. IBhayibheli liyakhuluma ngophawu, uphawu noma isibonakaliso, noma isiqinisekiso esiphumela ekusindisweni kwethu kodwa lokho akuhlangene nokuthatha usuku emsebenzini. Cha. Kunalokho, lisebenza njengophawu lokutholwa kwethu nguNkulunkulu njengabantwana Bakhe. Cabangela la mavesi:

“Nani futhi nafakwa kuKristu lapho nizwa izwi leqiniso, ivangeli lensindiso yenu. Lapho nikholwa, naniphawulwa kuye nge uphawu, ethenjisiwe UMoya oNgcwele oyidiphozithi eqinisekisa ifa lethu kuze kufike ukukhululwa kwabayimpahla kaNkulunkulu—kube-ludumo lwenkazimulo yakhe.” (Funda eyabase-Efesu 1:13,14, XNUMX.)

“Manje nguNkulunkulu osiqinisayo thina nani kuKristu. Wasigcoba, wabeka uphawu lwakhe kithi, wafaka uMoya wakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu njengesibambiso salokho okuzayo.” (Funda eyesi-2 Korinte 1:21,22, XNUMX.)

“Futhi uNkulunkulu usilungiselele yona kanye le nhloso futhi usinike yona uMoya njengesibambiso ngalokho okuzayo.” (Funda eyesi-2 Korinte 5:5.)

AmaSeventh-day Adventist athathe uphawu oluyingqayizivele noma uphawu lukaMoya oNgcwele futhi aluhlambalaza ngamanyala. Bathathele indawo yokusetshenziswa kweqiniso kwesibonakaliso noma uphawu lukaMoya oNgcwele okuhloswe ukuhlonza umvuzo wokuphila okuphakade (ifa labantwana bakaNkulunkulu) nomsebenzi ongabalulekile osekelwe emsebenzini ongenakho ukusekelwa okusemthethweni kweNew. Isivumelwano. Kungani? Ngoba iSivumelwano Esisha sisekelwe okholweni olusebenza ngothando. Akuxhomekile ekuthobeleni ngokomzimba imikhuba namasiko alawulwa emthethweni—emisebenzini, hhayi ukholo. UPaul uwuchaza kahle umehluko:

“Ngokuba ngoMoya, ngokukholwa, nathi ngokwethu silindela ngokulangazela ithemba lokulunga. Ngokuba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka nokungasoki akulutho, kuphela ukholo olusebenza ngothando.” (Galathiya 5:5,6, XNUMX)

Ungafaka esikhundleni sokusoka esikhundleni sokugcinwa kweSabatha futhi lowo mbhalo uzosebenza kahle.

Inkinga abagqugquzeli beSabatha ababhekana nayo ukuthi lisetshenziswa kanjani iSabatha eliyingxenye yoMthetho kaMose lapho lowo mthetho usuphelelwe yisikhathi ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esisha. Umbhali wamaHeberu wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi:

“Ngokukhuluma ngesivumelwano esisha, usenze esokuqala sasebenza; futhi lokho osekuphelelwe yisikhathi nokuguga kuzoshabalala ngokushesha.” ( Hebheru 8:13 )

Noma kunjalo, amaSabatha enza ngendlela engaqondakali leli qiniso. Lokhu bakwenza ngokuthi umthetho weSabatha wandulela umthetho kaMose ngakho kumele usasebenza nanamuhla.

Ukuze lokhu kuqale ngisho nokusebenza, uMarku nozakwabo kufanele benze izincazelo eziningi ezingenasisekelo emBhalweni. Okokuqala, bafundisa ukuthi izinsuku eziyisithupha zokudala zaziyizinsuku ezingokoqobo zamahora angu-24. Ngakho lapho uNkulunkulu ephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa, waphumula amahora angu-24. Ubuwula nje lobu. Uma ephumule amahora angu-24 kuphela, wabe esebuyela emsebenzini ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili, akunjalo? Wenzani ngalelo sonto lesibili? Qala ukudala futhi? Sekunamasonto angaphezu kuka-300,000 kusukela ekudalweni. Ingabe uJehova ubelokhu esebenza izinsuku eziyisithupha, wabe esethatha usuku lwesikhombisa izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-300,000 XNUMX kusukela u-Adamu ahamba emhlabeni? Ucabanga kanjalo?

Ngeke ngize ngingene ebufakazini besayensi obuphika inkolelo engenangqondo yokuthi indawo yonke ineminyaka engu-7000 kuphela ubudala. Ingabe silindeleke ngempela ukuba sikholwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu wanquma ukusebenzisa uthuli olujikelezayo olujikelezayo esilubiza ngokuthi iplanethi enguMhlaba njengohlobo oluthile lwewashi lasezulwini ukuze limqondise ekugcineni kwakhe isikhathi?

Nalapha futhi, eisegesis idinga ukuthi amaSabatha ashaye indiva ubufakazi obuphambene nemibhalo ukuze athuthukise umbono wawo. Ubufakazi obufana nalokhu:

“Iminyaka eyinkulungwane phambi kwaKho
Kunjengayizolo lapho kudlule,
Nanjengomlindo ebusuku.”
(Funda iHubo 90:4.)

Yini izolo kuwe? Kimina, wumcabango nje, awusekho. Umlindo ebusuku? "Uthatha ishifu ka-12 kuya ku-4 ekuseni, sosha." Lokho iminyaka eyinkulungwane kuJehova. Inkulumo engokoqobo eyenza abantu bakhuthaze izinsuku ezingokoqobo eziyisithupha zokudala yenza inhlekisa iBhayibheli, ngoBaba wethu waseZulwini, nangelungiselelo lakhe lensindiso yethu.

Abagqugquzeli beSabatha abanjengoMark Martin namaSeventh Day Adventist badinga samukele ukuthi uNkulunkulu waphumula ngosuku lwangempela lwamahora angu-24 ukuze manje bakhuthaze umbono—futhi ongasekelwe nhlobo yinoma yibuphi ubufakazi obusemBhalweni—bokuthi abantu babegcina usuku lweSabatha. isikhathi sokudala kwaze kwaba sekwethulweni koMthetho KaMose. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi akukho ukusekela lokho emiBhalweni, kodwa akunaki umongo lapho sithola khona iMiyalo eyi-10.

Ngokwe-exegetically, sifuna ukucabangela umongo njalo. Uma ubheka imiyalo engu-10, uthola ukuthi akukho ncazelo mayelana nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukungabulali, ukungebi, ukungaphingi, ukungaqambi amanga. Nokho, lapho kuziwa emthethweni weSabatha, uNkulunkulu uyachaza ukuthi usho ukuthini nokuthi kufanele usetshenziswe kanjani. Ukube amaJuda ayeligcina sonke isikhathi iSabatha, kwakungeke kudingeke incazelo enjalo. Yebo, babengaligcina kanjani noma yiluphi uhlobo lweSabatha njengoba babeyizigqila futhi kudingeke basebenze lapho amakhosi abo aseGibhithe ayebatshela ukuba basebenze.

Kodwa, futhi, uMarku Martin kanye namaSeventh-day Adventist badinga ukuba singabunaki bonke lobu bufakazi ngoba bafuna sikholwe ukuthi iSabatha landulela umthetho ukuze bakwazi ukuzungeza iqiniso lokuthi lichazwe ngokucacile emiBhalweni yobuKristu kubo bonke. kithi ukuthi umthetho kaMose awusasebenzi kumaKristu.

Kungani oh kungani beya kuwo wonke lo mzamo? Isizathu siyinto eseduze kwabaningi bethu abaye baphunyuka ekugqilazweni nasekucekeleni phansi kwenkolo ehleliwe.

Inkolo iwukubusa komuntu kube ukulimala kwakhe njengoba kusho umShumayeli 8:9 . Uma ufuna inqwaba yabantu bakulandele, udinga ukubadayisela into okungekho omunye umuntu onayo. Uyabadinga futhi ukuba baphile ngokulindela okwesabekayo ukuthi ukwehluleka ukulalela izimfundiso zakho kuyoholela ekulahlweni kwaphakade.

KoFakazi BakaJehova, iNdikimba Ebusayo kufanele yenze abalandeli bayo bakholelwe ukuthi kufanele baye kuyo yonke imihlangano futhi balalele yonke into eshiwo izincwadi kubo ngokwesaba ukuthi uma bengakwenzi, lapho ukuphela kufika ngokuzumayo, bayophuthelwa. ngeziyalezo ezibalulekile, ezisindisa ukuphila.

AmaSeventh-day Adventist ancike ekwesabeni okufanayo kokuthi i-Armageddon izofika nganoma isiphi isikhathi futhi ngaphandle kokuthi abantu bethembekile embuthweni wama-Seventh-day Adventist, bayokhukhulwa. Ngakho-ke, babambelela eSabatani, njengoba sesibonile ukuthi kwakuwusuku lokuphumula nje futhi balenza usuku lokukhonza. Kufanele ukhonze ngoSuku lweSabatha ngokwekhalenda lamaJuda—okuyinto, ngendlela, eyayingekho ensimini yase-Edene, akunjalo? Awukwazi ukuya kwamanye amabandla ngoba akhonza ngeSonto, futhi uma ukhonza ngeSonto, uzobhujiswa uNkulunkulu ngoba uzokuthukuthelela ngoba akulona usuku afuna ukuthi umkhonze. Uyabona ukuthi kusebenza kanjani? Uyakubona ukufana phakathi kwesonto lamaSeventh-day Adventist kanye neNhlangano yoFakazi BakaJehova? Kuyethusa kancane, akunjalo? Kodwa kucace kakhulu futhi kuzwakala ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu abaziyo ukuthi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngoMoya nangeqiniso kusho ukungalandeli imithetho yabantu kodwa ukuholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.

Umphostoli uJohane wakwenza kwacaca lokhu lapho ebhala:

“Ngilobela lezi zinto ukuze nginixwayise ngabafuna ukunidukisa. Kepha namukele uMoya oNgcwele…ngakho anidingi muntu ukuba anifundise okuyiqiniso. Ngokuba uMoya ukufundisa konke enidinga ukukwazi...akuwona amanga. Ngakho njengoba nje [uMoya oNgcwele] enifundisile, hlalani nisebudlelwaneni noKristu. (Funda eyoku-1 Johane 2:26,27, ​​XNUMX.)

Uyawakhumbula amazwi owesifazane ongumSamariya kuJesu? Wafundiswa ukuthi ukuze akhulekele uNkulunkulu ngendlela eyamukelekayo kuye, kwakumelwe akhulekele eNtabeni iGerizimu lapho umthombo kaJakobe wawukhona. UJesu wamtshela ukuthi ukukhulekela okusemthethweni endaweni ethile njengaseNtabeni iGerizimu noma ethempelini laseJerusalema kwakuyinto yesikhathi esidlule.

“Kodwa isikhathi siyeza—yebo sesifikile—lapho abakhulekeli beqiniso beyokhulekela uBaba ngomoya nangeqiniso. UBaba ufuna labo abayomkhulekela ngaleyo ndlela. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu unguMoya, ngakho abakhuleka kuye bafanele ukukhuleka ngomoya nangeqiniso.” ( Johane 4:23,24, XNUMX )

Abakhulekeli beqiniso bafunwa uNkulunkulu ukuba bamkhulekele ngomoya nangeqiniso nomaphi lapho befuna futhi noma nini lapho befuna. Kodwa lokho ngeke kusebenze uma uzama ukuhlela inkolo futhi wenze abantu bakulalele. Uma ufuna ukusungula eyakho inkolo ehleliwe, udinga ukuziveza njengehlukile kwezinye.

Ake sifingqe esikufundile emibhalweni engcwele mayelana neSabatha kuze kube manje. Akudingekile ukuthi sikhonze uNkulunkulu phakathi kwamahora ka-6 PM ngoLwesihlanu kuya ku-6 PM ngoMgqibelo ukuze sisindiswe. Akudingeki nokuba sithathe usuku lokuphumula phakathi kwalawo mahora, ngoba asikho ngaphansi komthetho kaMose.

Uma namanje singakavunyelwa ukuphatha igama leNkosi ngeze, ukukhonza izithixo, ukuhlazisa abazali bethu, ukubulala, ukweba, ukuqamba amanga, njll., pho kungani iSabatha libonakala lihlukile? Empeleni, akunjalo. Kufanele sigcine iSabatha, kodwa hhayi nje ngendlela uMarku Martin, noma amaSeventh-day Adventist ayengathanda ukuba senze ngayo.

Ngokwencwadi eya kumaHebheru, uMthetho KaMose wawuyi-a Isithunzi ngezinto ezizayo:

“Umthetho uyisithunzi nje sezinto ezinhle ezizayo—hhayi izinto ezingokoqobo ngokwazo. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu ngeke neze, ngemihlatshelo efanayo ephindaphindwa ngokungapheli unyaka nonyaka, ibenze baphelele labo abasondela ekukhulekeleni.” ( Hebheru 10:1 )

Isithunzi asinalutho, kodwa sikhomba ukuba khona kokuthile okunezinto zangempela. Umthetho onomthetho wawo wesine ngeSabatha wawuyisithunzi esingenasici uma siqhathaniswa neqiniso elinguKristu. Noma kunjalo, isithunzi simelela iqiniso eliliphonsayo, ngakho-ke kufanele sibuze ukuthi liyini iqiniso elimelelwa ngumthetho ngesabatha? Sizokuhlola lokho kuvidiyo elandelayo.

Siyabonga ngokubukela. Uma ungathanda ukwaziswa ngokukhishwa kwamavidiyo esikhathini esizayo, chofoza inkinobho yokubhalisa kanye nensimbi yesaziso.

Uma ungathanda ukusekela umsebenzi wethu, kunesixhumanisi somnikelo encazelweni yale vidiyo.

Ngibonga kakhulu.
