Umhlangano Waminyaka Yonke Ka-2023, Ingxenye 6: UNkulunkulu Wayengeke Kanjani Ayilahle INdikimba Ebusayo Ngokuqamba Kwayo Amanga Njalo?

Njengamanje, nonke kufanele nazi kusukela ngoNovemba 1^st walonyaka, iNdikimba Ebusayo yoFakazi BakaJehova iye yayiyeka imfuneko yokuba abamemezeli bebandla babike umsebenzi wabo wokushumayela wanyanga zonke. Lesi simemezelo besiyingxenye yohlelo lomhlangano waminyaka yonke ka-2023 kulo Mfumfu obuhanjelwe ama-JWs anelungelo kuphela. Ngokuvamile, ukwaziswa okukhishwe emhlanganweni waminyaka yonke akufinyeleli ezandleni zezikhundla zomphakathi we-JW kuze kube yilapho Kusakazwa NgoJanuwari ku-JW.org, kodwa kulo nyaka, izinkulumo ezimbalwa zohlelo lomhlangano waminyaka yonke. zakhululwa ku-November Broadcast.

Uma kwenzeka ungamboni uSamuel Herd enza lesi simemezelo, nakhu:

Siyajabula ukunazisa ukuthi kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Novemba^st, 2023, abamemezeli bebandla ngeke besacelwa ukuba babike isikhathi abasichitha enkonzweni. Futhi abamemezeli ngeke bacelwe ukuba babike izinto abazihambisile, ama-video abawabonisayo, noma izimpindelo zabo. Kunalokho, umbiko wenkonzo yasensimini uyomane ube nebhokisi eliyovumela ummemezeli ngamunye ukuba abonise ukuthi uye wahlanganyela kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwenkonzo.

Isimemezelo sika-Herd akulona ushintsho oluthile oluncane lokuphatha oluvame ukwenzeka ezinqubweni nasezinqubweni zanoma iyiphi inkampani enkulu yamazwe ngamazwe. Lokhu kuyinkinga enkulu emphakathini woFakazi BakaJehova, into enkulu njengoba ifakazelwa ukusabela kwezilaleli ezindabeni.

Hhayi-ke, bafowethu nodadewethu ngabe lolu bekungelona uhlelo olumangalisayo? Lolu usuku oluyingqopha-mlando ngempela emlandweni woFakazi BakaJehova.

“Uhlelo olumangalisayo”? “Usuku oluyingqopha-mlando emlandweni woFakazi BakaJehova”?

Kungani? Kungani lokhu kumangalisa kangaka? Kungani kungumlando kangaka?

Ngokusekelwe ekushayeni ihlombe okuchichimayo, izethameli zijabule ngendlela emangalisayo ngalesi simemezelo, kodwa ngani?

Wake waba nekhanda elibuhlungu elibeleselayo noma obunye ubuhlungu obungapheli obungeke buphele? Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kokuluhlaza, kuyahamba. Uzizwa kanjani? Awuzange ujabuliswe ubuhlungu, kodwa uqinisekile ukuthi ujabule, akunjalo?

KoFakazi BakaJehova abaningi, lesi saziso siyohlangatshezwa ngenjabulo ngoba isici esiwumthwalo sokukhulekela kwabo siye sasuswa ekugcineni futhi kwathatha iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu ukuba senzeke.

Umuntu ongakaze aphile njengomunye woFakazi BakaJehova cishe ngeke akuqonde ukubaluleka kwalolu shintsho. Kumuntu wangaphandle, kungase kubonakale kuwushintsho oluncane lwenqubomgomo yokuphatha. Phela, kuwumbiko nje olula owenziwa kanye ngenyanga. Ngakho kungani wonke ama-hoopla? Ekuphenduleni, ake ngikuthathe ohambweni olufushane lwehle ngomugqa wenkumbulo.

Lapho ngineminyaka engu-10, umkhaya wakithi waya kwabangu-24^th ihholo loMbuso lomgwaqo eHamilton, e-Ontario, eCanada. Odongeni oluseduze nendawo yesikhulumi kwakunebhodi elifana naleli okwakuxhonywe kulo umbiko wenyanga webandla owawunemininingwane yamahora, ukubekwa kwawo, nezilinganiso zebandla. Uma inkumbulo ibalulekile, ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950, umgomo wanyanga zonke wommemezeli ngamunye wawuwukusebenzisa amahora angu-12 emsebenzini wokushumayela, ukuhambisa omagazini abangu-12, ukwenza izimpindelo ezingu-6 (“izimpindelo” manje) nokuqhuba isifundo seBhayibheli esisodwa. Ngesinye isikhathi, imfuneko yehora yehliswa yaba amahora ayi-1 ngenyanga.

Into eyodwa okufanele uyiqaphele kulawa mashadi ukuthi womabili aqala ngoSepthemba, hhayi uJanuwari. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi unyaka wezimali we-Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania uqala ngo-September kuya ku-August. Yingakho umhlangano waminyaka yonke uba ngo-October wonyaka ngamunye. Ibhodi labaqondisi kudingeka lihlangane kanye ngonyaka ngomthetho we-charter yebhizinisi. Inkolo yoFakazi BakaJehova, eyinhloko, iwumkhiqizo wenhlangano.

Ukubaluleka kokulandelela ukubekwa, amahora asetshenzisiwe, kanye nokuhambisana nezinqubo zebhizinisi futhi sekuphoqelelwe amashumi eminyaka ngokuvakasha kwengxenye yonyaka koMbonisi Wesifunda—nakuba ngawo-1950, babebizwa ngokuthi “Izinceku Zesifunda.” Ayefika azohlola ama-akhawunti ebandla futhi ahlole isimo “esingokomoya” samabandla esasisekelwe ekutheni ayasifinyelela yini isilinganiso sawo samahora omsebenzi wokushumayela nenani lezincwadi ezihanjiswayo nezifundo zeBhayibheli eziqhutshwayo. Ukube bekungenjalo—futhi ngokuvamile bekungenjalo—ibandla beliyonikezwa inkulumo “ekhuthazayo” esekelwe noma eklanyelwe ukwenza wonke umuntu azizwe enecala ngokuthi abenzanga okwanele ukusindisa ukuphila.

Yebo, sasihlale sikhunjuzwa ukuthi ukuphela kwakuseduze kakhulu, futhi ukuphila kwakusengozini. Uma singaphumi futhi sishumayele, abantu okungenzeka basinde ekufeni okuphakade e-Armagedoni bebeyophuthelwa futhi igazi labo beliyoba sezandleni zethu. (w81-ZU 2/1 20-22) Saqhutshwa ukuze sifinyelele “amalungelo” amakhulu “enkonzo kaJehova”. ‘Sakhuthazwa’ ukuba sizidele enkonzweni yethu kuJehova. Konke lokhu kwakungasekelwe esibonelweni sobuKristu sothando esasungulwa uJesu, kodwa kunalokho kwakuyimodeli yenhlangano ye-Watchtower Society.

AmaKristu ekhulu lokuqala ayeshumayela ngothando. KoFakazi BakaJehova, umsebenzi wokushumayela uwukuzidela. Igama elithi “ukuzidela” livela izikhathi ezingaphezu kwenkulungwane ezincwadini ze-Watch Tower ezahlehlela emuva ngo-1950, kodwa aliveli nakanye eBhayibhelini, ngisho naku-Nguqulo Yezwe Elisha. Cabanga ngalokho!

Ngangineminyaka engaba ngu-80 lapho ngimiswa njengomdala. Kwakulindeleke ukuba sibeke isibonelo ngokuchitha amahora amaningi emsebenzini wokushumayela kunesilinganiso sebandla. Uma umdala engase ehle ngaphansi kwesilinganiso sebandla, uMbonisi Wesifunda angase atuse ukuba asuswe. Ngagula emuva ngeminyaka yawo-XNUMXs futhi ngasuswa njengomdala ngaze ngaba ngcono futhi ngathola i-avareji yami yanyanga zonke.

Amahora nokubekwa kwakugcinwa ekhadini Lerekhodi Lomshicileli iminyaka ilandelana. Ukuze ngibonise ukubaluleka kwala marekhodi esikhathi eside omsebenzi wokushumayela, ngizokuyisa eminyakeni yami yokugcina njengomdala woFakazi BakaJehova. Igatsha laseCanada lalingibeke esikhundleni se-COBE—uMxhumanisi WeNdikimba Yabadala. Ngakho, kwakuwumsebenzi wami ukuba usihlalo wemihlangano yabadala.

Kabili ngonyaka, ngaphambi kokuhambela kombonisi Wesifunda, sasihlangana ukuze sicabangele labo abazomiswa njengezinceku ezikhonzayo noma abadala. Abadala abahlukahlukene babebeka igama lomzalwane othile ababenomuzwa wokuthi uhlangabezana nezimfanelo. Ngokungenakugwenywa, othile wayekhipha iBhayibheli lakhe ukuze abukeze izimfanelo zalowo ozobhapathizwa ngokusekelwe kweyoku-1 Thimothewu 3:1-10 nakuThithu 1:5-9.

Ngangivame ukwenza into efanayo lapho ngisemncane futhi ngingenalwazi, kodwa ngalesi sikhathi, ngase ngihlale isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukuba ngijabule ukuze ngazi ukuthi kuwukuchitha isikhathi ukuqala ngezimfanelo ezingokomoya zomzalwane. Ngangibamisa abazalwane ngibatshele ukuba baqale babheke amakhadi aqoshiwe ommemezeli. Ngangazi ngokuhlangenwe nakho engikuzuze kanzima ukuthi uma amahora akhe ayengaphansi kwesilinganiso, bekungeke kukhathalise ukuthi ziyini izimfanelo zakhe ezingokomoya. Umbonisi Wesifunda ngeke nje atuse ummemezeli ongaphansi kwesilinganiso esivamile. Eqinisweni, ngisho noma amahora akhe emahle, cishe ubengeke atuswe ngaphandle kwalapho umkakhe nezingane bengabamemezeli abakhuthele abanamahora asebenzayo.

Kunzima ukucabanga ngomthwalo ongokwengqondo uhlobo olunjalo lokukhulekela oluncintisanayo, olusekelwe emisebenzini olubeka kumuntu ngamunye. Amalungu ebandla ahlala enziwa ukuba azizwe sengathi awenzi okwanele. Ukuthi kufanele benze ukuphila kwabo kube lula ukuze benzele uJehova okwengeziwe, okusho ngempela, ukwenzela iNhlangano okwengeziwe.

Uma bekhathala yikho konke ukucindezeleka bese bebuyela emuva, babhekwa njengababuthaka hhayi ngokomoya. Benziwa bazizwe sengathi basengozini yokulahlekelwa ukuphila okuphakade. Uma bethatha isinqumo sokushiya iNhlangano, bazonqanyulwa kuwo wonke umphakathi wabo osekelayo. Njengoba iNdikimba Ebusayo ifundisa imfundiso engamanga yokuthi bonke abangewona ama-JW bayokufa phakade e-Armagedoni, abamemezeli abangamaKristu abaqotho bakholelwa ukuthi uma bengenzi konke abangakwenza nangaphezulu, bazokwahlulelwa njengegazi ngenxa yokungayisindisi imiphefumulo. lokho bekungasindiswa ukube bekunomuntu oshumayele kubo.

Okuxakayo ukuthi satshelwa kanyekanye ukuthi silandela uJesu owathi “… ijoka lami ngelomusa nomthwalo wami ulula.” ( Mathewu 11:30 )

Satshelwa kaningi lokhu kangangokuthi asizange sibone ukuthi umthwalo nomthwalo esasiwuthwele wawungaveli kuKristu, kodwa wawuvela kubantu ababeziphatha njengabaholi bamaJuda, ababhali nabaFarisi, uJesu abagxekayo ethi: “Babopha imithwalo enzima, babophe imithwalo enzima, babophe imithwalo enzima, babophe imithwalo enzima. bazibeka emahlombe abantu, kepha bona abavumi ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wabo. ( Mathewu 23:4 )

INdikimba Ebusayo ilayishe isilinganiso soFakazi BakaJehova ngalomthwalo osindayo iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu, ngakho kuyadida ukuthi kungani manje, ngemva kwaso sonke lesi sikhathi, bewususa?!

Kumele babone ukuthi lokhu kubukeka kubi kangakanani. Basebenzisa le mfuneko emuva ngo-1920, ngemva konyaka bethi bamiswe njengeSigqila SikaKristu Esithembekile Neqondayo. Ngakho, uma beqondiswa uJehova ngempela, kungani kubathathe iminyaka eyi-103 ukubona ukuthi babethwesa umhlambi umthwalo osindayo njengoba kwenza abaFarisi?

INdikimba Ebusayo kufanele isole omunye umuntu. Abakwazi ukuvuma iqiniso lokuthi yibona kuphela abanecala kulo mthwalo onzima nocindezelayo. Kodwa akekho omunye ongasolwa, ngaphandle kukaJehova uNkulunkulu, ingabe ukhona?

Okokuqala, sitshelwe uGage Fleegle enkulumweni eyandulele esiye sahlanganisa kuvidiyo yethu yokugcina ukuthi lolu shintsho ngempela lwenziwa ngothando, ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu uyasithanda, futhi uyilungiselela ngothando nangokuchichimayo iNhlangano yakhe. Manje, kule vidiyo, sizocabangela inkulumo elandelayo, enikezwa uGerrit Losch, ozozama ukusibonisa indlela ukushumayela endlini ngendlu kuseyilungiselelo leBhayibheli elisekelwe emthethweni wokweshumi ngaphansi koMthetho KaMose. Isivumelwano.

Umbono wabo uthi uma sikwamukela konke lokho, ngeke sicabange kabi ngabo ngokusithwalisa lo mthwalo osindayo ukuphila kwethu konke, ngoba “uvela kuJehova”. Ngakho, asikho isidingo sokuba baxolise. Abenzanga lutho olubi.

Asinamahloni ngokulungiswa okwenziwayo, futhi akwenzi… ukuxolisa kuyadingeka ngokungakutholi kahle ngaphambilini.

Uma ungomunye woFakazi BakaJehova, cishe uyolwamukela lolu shintsho, njengoba nami bengingalwamukela, ukube lwafika ngesikhathi ngisaqiniseka ukuthi ngisenkolweni eyodwa yeqiniso emhlabeni. Kodwa ungakhohliswa. Ubuzenzisi obuvezwa lolu shintsho bubonakala yonke indawo. Ake sicabangele inkulumo kaGerrit Losch eholela kulokhu okuthiwa “isigameko esimangalisayo, esiwumlando”.

Kamuva emlandweni wesintu uJehova wadala isizwe sakwa-Israyeli futhi wasinika izwe elihle eligcwele izinto ezinhle. Ama-Israyeli ayengakubonisa kanjani ukwazisa kwawo? UJehova waphinde wanikeza abantu bakhe ithuba lokunikela, kulokhu wabanikeza umyalo wokukhipha okweshumi. Yini leyo? Ukukhipha okweshumi kusho ukunikeza okweshumi kokuthile. Ama-Israyeli kwakufanele anike uJehova okweshumi kwawo wonke umkhiqizo wawo nezilwane.

Ngakho ake sibuze umbuzo obalulekile: Ukukhipha okweshumi kwa-Israyeli kuhlobene kanjani nomsebenzi wokushumayela woFakazi BakaJehova? Ah, kuyahlekisa kufanele ubuze. Lokhu kuya ephuzwini lami lokuba ngumzenzisi. ULosch usezosebenzisa indlela eyazama futhi yeqiniso ebilokhu isetshenziswa abaholi benkolo phakathi namakhulu eminyaka ukuze bathethelele izinqubomgomo zabo egameni likaNkulunkulu. Itemu elisemthethweni lalokho azokudala ubudlelwano bohlobo/isifaniso. Usezokhetha okuthile eBhayibhelini futhi athi kuvumelana nokuthile oFakazi BakaJehova abatshelwa ukuba bakwenze. Uhlobo wumthetho wama-Israyeli wokukhipha okweshumi. Ukunikeza u-10% wenzuzo yakho. Isifaniso yisikhathi oFakazi abasichitha beshumayela. Uyabona: Uhlobo ne-Antitype.

Yebo, akawasebenzisi lawo magama ngoba emhlanganweni waminyaka yonke ka-2014, uDavid Splane watshela wonke umuntu ukuthi oFakazi abasakwenzi lokho. Wathi uma ubudlelwano obunjalo/isifaniso bungachazwanga ngokucacile eBhayibhelini, ukwenza umuntu “kuwukweqa lokho okulotshiweyo” (1 Korinte 4:6). Yinto embi leyo, akunjalo?

Kubonakala sengathi kusadingeka bakwenze lokhu ukuze bazame ukusho ukuthi lokho abafuna oFakazi bakwenze yilokho uNkulunkulu afuna bakwenze. Ngakho-ke, basadinga ukubuyela ohlotsheni/emthonjeni wesifaniso ukuze bakha amanzi, kodwa bathemba ukuthi ngeke uqaphele, ngoba abasawasebenzisi amagama afanekisayo.

Kodwa ukuzenzisa akugcini lapho.

Kubonakala sengathi ama-Israyeli kwakudingeka abekele eceleni okweshumi okwengeziwe ukuze akhokhele izindleko zokuya emikhosini emithathu yesizwe kuJehova. Njalo ngonyaka wesithathu nowesithupha, lezi zimali zazinikezwa amaLevi, abafokazi, abafelokazi nezintandane emphakathini wendawo.

Cabanga nangendlela labo ababencishwe amathuba, abafokazi, abafelokazi nezintandane, nabo ababelazisa ngayo leli lungiselelo lothando. 

Hewu! Ilungiselelo elingokomthetho elamiswa uJehova uNkulunkulu lokunakekela izidingo zabampofu, abafelokazi nezintandane. Ngakho-ke, kufanele sikholwe ukuthi kunobudlelwano phakathi kokweshumi nomsebenzi wokushumayela we-JW, kodwa buphi ubudlelwano babo phakathi kokweshumi nokuhlinzeka abampofu? OFakazi BakaJehova bayaziqhenya ngokuthi bahlelekile. Abazibizi ngebandla, kodwa kunalokho, bayiNhlangano kaJehova. Pho kungani lingekho ilungiselelo elihlelekile lokondla abafelokazi, izintandane (izintandane) nabampofu? Eqinisweni, kungani izindikimba zabadala bebandla zidunyazwa ngokuqinile ekumiseni izinhlangano ezisiza abampofu ezihleliwe?

Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wezwa ngomkhuba wokukha amavesi. Kubhekiselwa esu lokukhetha ivesi elilodwa ngaphandle komongo bese uthi lisho into elingasho lutho. Lapha, bakhetha okuthile kukhodi yomthetho futhi bathi ifanekisela okuthile abakwenzayo namuhla. Kodwa abawunaki umongo. Uma okweshumi kuwufanekisela umsebenzi wokushumayela, ingabe lokho okweshumi kwabampofu, abafelokazi, nezintandane akufanele kufanekisele umkhuba othile woFakazi BakaJehova?

Ukukhipha okweshumi kwakuwumthetho osemthethweni futhi ohlelekile. Inhlangano yoFakazi BakaJehova izishaya isifuba ngokuhlelwa kwayo. Ngakho-ke, iyiphi inqubo ehleliwe enayo yokuhlinzeka ngosizo kulabo abaswele, abampofu, abafelokazi abaswele kanye nezintandane?

Uma okweshumi kuhambisana nomsebenzi ohleliwe wokushumayela, khona-ke akufanele yini ilungiselelo lokukhipha okweshumi lihambisane nelungiselelo lokupha elihleliwe le-Watch Tower Society?

Nakuba iphuzu eliyinhloko likaLosch liwukufanisa okweshumi ngaphansi koMthetho KaMose nokunikela isikhathi emsebenzini wokushumayela woFakazi BakaJehova, ngokuqinisekile ngeke aliyeke ithuba lokukhumbuza umhlambi ngesidingo sokunikela ngemali.

Yebo, namuhla asisekho ngaphansi komthetho kaMose nemfuneko yawo yokweshumi. Kunokuba siyalwe ukuba sikhiphe ingxenye yeshumi yomholo wethu, eyesi-10 Korinte isahluko 2 ivesi 9 ithi, “Yilowo nalowo makenze njengoba nje enqumile enhliziyweni yakhe, kungabi ngokudabuka noma ngaphansi kokucindezelwa, ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda umuphi onamileyo.

Kwakunjalo ngesinye isikhathi emabandleni oFakazi BakaJehova. Iminikelo ayenziwanga ngokuphoqelelwa. Lokho kwashintsha ngo-2014 lapho iNhlangano iqala ukucela izithembiso zanyanga zonke, icela ummemezeli ngamunye ukuba anikele ngenani elincane elalisetshenzwe izwe ngalinye. Njengamanje, e-United States, leyo mali ingu-$8.25 ummemezeli ngamunye ngenyanga. Ngakho, abazali abanezingane ezintathu abangabamemezeli bazocelwa ukuba bakhokhe okungenani u-$41.25 inyanga ngayinye.

Kodwa masingaphazamiseki endikimbeni yethu enkulu ethi uLosch uzama ukuthola isisekelo emthethweni kaMose mayelana nokukhipha okweshumi ukuze achaze ukuthi kungani bezoyeka imfuneko yokubika isikhathi. Ngiyazi ukuthi lokho kuwukunwebeka, kodwa yikho kuphela okumele asebenze ngakho. Ukwenza izinto zibe nzima kakhulu kuye, unomunye umkhuba wokushumayela we-JW awuchaza ngemiBhalo. Uyabona, ngenxa yezizathu esizozichaza kamuva, kudingeka agcine imfuneko yokubika isendaweni yamaphayona.

Lokho kuyinkinga ngoba uma ethi okuthile okuhilela okweshumi kususa imfuneko yokubika isikhathi senkonzo yasensimini, ngeke yini lokho kusebenze kuwo wonke umuntu obala isikhathi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wenza kanjalo njengommemezeli webandla noma njengephayona lebandla? Kungani kungasebenza koyedwa, hhayi kwenye? Bekungeke, kodwa uyakudinga ngenxa yezizathu angafuni ukuzidalula. Udinga nje ukuthethelela isikhundla sakhe, ngakho ubuyela ohlotsheni/esifaniso semfundiso yenkolo futhi athathele phezu kwelungiselelo lesifungo sobuNazaretha. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi uyini umNazaretha, u-Losch uyachaza:

Kodwa ingabe kukhona okwengeziwe esingakufunda ekusebenzelaneni kukaJehova no-Israyeli wasendulo? Yebo, singafunda elungiselelweni lobuNaziri. Bekuyini leyo? Ukuhlelwa kobuNazaretha kuchazwe kuNumeri, isahluko sesithupha. Masifunde isahluko sesithupha, ivesi lokuqala nelesibili. Lithi: “UJehova wabuye wakhuluma noMose, wathi, khuluma nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ubatshele uma owesilisa noma owesifazane enza isifungo esikhethekile sokuphila njengomNaziri kuJehova . . .

Lokhu kwakuhilela ukwenza isifungo kuNkulunkulu ngenjongo ethile. Kwakungaba ngokwanoma iyiphi injongo, futhi kwakungokwesikhathi esiqondile, kodwa uJesu wakuqeda ukwenza izifungo zabafundi bakhe. Eqinisweni, wabayala ukuthi bangenzi izifungo:

“Nizwile futhi ukuthi kwathiwa kwabezikhathi zasendulo, ‘Ungafungi ungenzi, kodwa kumelwe uzifeze izifungo zakho kuJehova. Nokho, mina ngithi kini: Ningafungi nhlobo, noma izulu, ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu; loba ngomhlaba, ngoba uyisenabelo senyawo zakhe; loba ngeJerusalema, ngoba limuzi weNkosi enkulu. Futhi ungafungi ngekhanda lakho, ngokuba ungenakuphendula unwele lube mhlophe noma lube mnyama. Izwi lenu elithi Yebo malisho uYebo, u-Cha wenu, asho uCha; ngoba okwedlula lokhu kuvela komubi.” ( Mathewu 5:33-37 )

Emazwini kaJesu siyabona ukuthi alikho ilungiselelo elihambisanayo ebandleni lobuKristu lokwenza isifungo somNaziri, futhi into eyodwa eqinisekile, ilungiselelo lamaphayona elasungulwa yiNhlangano nemfuneko yalo yamahora anqunyiwe futhi isidingo sokubika kubadala alinalo. isisekelo esingokomBhalo, hhayi ngaphansi komthetho kaMose noma kamuva ebandleni lobuKristu. Inhlangano isazama futhi ukuthola isisekelo seBhayibheli somthetho wabo owenziwe kusetshenziswa uhlobo/ubudlelwano bokufanisa obungasetshenzisiwe emBhalweni.

Kungani? Hhayi-ke, lowo ngumbuzo othokozisayo, ongathola impendulo yawo emithethweni esungulwe emhlabeni wonke ngeZizwe Ezihlangene. Ufuna ukwazi? Hhayi-ke, kuzodingeka ulinde kuze kube yividiyo yethu elandelayo neyokugcina kulolu chungechunge.

Kodwa okwamanje, sesifike endaweni okugxilwe kuyo kukho konke lokhu kuzithethelela kweNhlangano. Inkulumo lapho uSamuel Herd esebenzisa khona umfanekiso oqanjiwe owethulwa nguzakwabo, uGerrit Losch.

Njengoba ulalele uMfoweth’ uLosch exoxa ngamalungiselelo okukhipha okweshumi nobuNaziri, ingabe uye wazama ukuhlobanisa namalungiselelo esinawo okukhulekela kwanamuhla? Mhlawumbe ubuzibuza ukuthi yini ehambisana nokweshumi namuhla. Kodwa ilungiselelo Lokweshumi libonisa okuthile uJehova asakulindele kubantu bakhe namuhla. Khumbula, okweshumi kwakungafanele kube okweshumi nje kuphela, kodwa okweshumi okuhle kakhulu komkhiqizo womuntu nezilwane zakhe. UJehova ufanelwe okungcono kakhulu esinakho. Sinalokho engqondweni, singamnika kanjani uJehova okungcono kakhulu?

Uyabona yini manje ukuthi baye basebenza kanjani ukuze wena, mlaleli, wamukele ukuthi lokho okulotshwe emthethweni kaMose manje kusebenza koFakazi BakaJehova ngendlela ekhethekile? UJehova wayefuna ama-Israyeli anikele ngokungcono kakhulu kwawo. Kodwa obani abamelela uJehova namuhla? Iliphi iqembu lamadoda elithi inkolo yalo ihlanganisa “ukukhulekela okuhlanzekile” namuhla? Sonke siyayazi impendulo yalo mbuzo, akunjalo?

Sebethathe amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi manje sebewasebenzisa ngokugabadela emigomeni nasezenzweni abazisungule bona. Ingabe la madoda anekhono futhi ayafaneleka ukwenza isimangalo esinjalo? Ingabe bayayiqonda ngempela imiBhalo njengoba besho ukuze sethembe incazelo yabo?

Umbuzo omuhle lowo, akunjalo? Ake sizihlole, futhi niyazi yini? Ngeke kudingeke ukuthi siqhubekele phambili kunalokho okushiwo nguSamuel Herd ngokulandelayo:

Yebo, sizama kanzima ukulalela yonke imiyalo kaJehova. Kodwa kunomyalo owodwa ophawulekayo njengophawu lwamaKristu eqiniso namuhla. Kwenzenjani?

Uthi kunomyalo okhethekile, ophawuleka ngokukhethekile amaKristu eqiniso namuhla. UHerd ​​uyasibuza ukuthi siyazi yini ukuthi kuyini? Ukube uDavid Splaine ubenikeza le nkulumo, mhlawumbe ubezolandela lowo mbuzo ngomunye wemisho yakhe yokumbambazela efana nokuthi, “Ngizokunikeza isikhashana.”

Kodwa asidingi mzuzu, ngoba siyazi ukuthi kunomyalo okhethekile osebenza njengophawu lwamaKristu eqiniso. Siyazi ukuthi ubani owanikeza lowo myalo futhi siyazi ukuthi singawutholaphi eBhayibhelini. Ngizokufundela yona eBhayibhelini likaSamuel Herd alithandayo, INguqulo Yezwe Elisha:

“Ngininika umyalo omusha, wokuba nithandane; njengoba nje nami nginithandile, nani thandanani. Bonke bayokwazi ngalokho ukuthi ningabafundi bami — uma ninothando phakathi kwenu. ”(UJohn 13: 34, 35)

Ukuphinda: “Ngalokho BONKE BAYOKWAZI ukuthi ningabafundi bami—uma ninothando phakathi kwenu.”

Ngakho, lapho unophawu oluhlukanisayo lwamaKristu eqiniso olubonakala kubo bonke: Abonisa uthando lukaKristu komunye nomunye.

Kodwa lokho akuwona umyalo uHerd anawo engqondweni. Akabuzi ngempela ngophawu lwamaKristu eqiniso. Ucela uphawu loFakazi BakaJehova. Qagela ukuthi kuyini lokho?

Kodwa kunomyalo owodwa ophawulekayo njengophawu lwamaKristu eqiniso namuhla. Kwenzenjani? Masiyifunde ndawonye esikrinini. KuMathewu, isahluko 28, amavesi 19 no-20, lithi, “Ngakho hambani niyokwenza abantu bazo zonke izizwe babe abafundi. nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. Futhi bhekani, mina nginani izinsuku zonke kuze kube isiphelo sesimiso sezinto.” Ingabe wamangala lapho sifunda lelo vesi?

Ukhulumela abaningi bethu lapha ngaphandle, Samuweli, akumangazi ukuthi ufunda lelovesi. Besilindele ukuthi uzoyiphatha kabi. Ungalindelwa kanjani ukuba ulwazi uphawu lwangempela oluhlukanisayo lwamaKristu eqiniso kuyilapho ungakwazi nokubona ukuthi ubani okhuluma kulelo vesi? Ushilo “Yebo, sizama kanzima ukulalela yonke imiyalo kaJehova.” Kodwa akuyena uJehova lo okhulumayo. NguJesu lo okhulumayo, esanda kusitshela ukuthi unikezwe wonke amandla ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Ngakho, kusobala ukuthi umyalo kaJesu, hhayi umyalo kaJehova. Ungakukhumbula kanjani lokho, Samuweli?

Uma iNdikimba Ebusayo ingenakuwuphendula kahle umbuzo othi, “Luyini uphawu olubonakalisa abafundi bakaKristu, amaKristu eqiniso?” khona-ke sizokukholelwa kanjani isimangalo sabo sokuthi okweshumi, nesifungo somNaziri simele umsebenzi wokushumayela we-JW kanye nenkonzo yobuphayona?

Kwakhiwe konke, bantu! Kade kwaba njalo; kudala ngingakazalwa.

Manje, angisho ukuthi amaKristu akufanele enze abafundi noma ababhapathize egameni likaJesu Kristu. Lutho neze!

Sithola izinkomba eziningi encwadini ka Izenzo Zabaphostoli kubafundi bebhabhathizwa ebizweni likaJesu. ( IzEnzo 2:38; 10:48; 19:5 ) Kodwa alikho ivesi elithi abaphostoli babebhapathiza abantu egameni likaYise, iNdodana, neloMoya oNgcwele. Futhi ngokuqinisekile abazange babhapathize muntu egameni lenhlangano. Lokho bekuyosho ukuhlambalaza, akunjalo?

Njengoba sibheka emuva kuzo zonke izinguquko esixoxe ngazo kulolu chungechunge olunezingxenye eziyisithupha ezihlanganisa umhlangano waminyaka yonke, ingabe singasho ngobuqotho ukuthi siyasibona isandla sikaNkulunkulu kunoma iyiphi yazo?

Noma nini lapho iNhlangano yenze izinguquko ezibonakala zingqubuzana nokuqonda kwangaphambilini, bebelokhu bethi kwenziwa ngaphansi kokuqondisa okuvela kuJehova. Uyakuthenga lokho?

USamuel Herd ufuna ukholelwe ukuthi lolu shintsho luyilungiselelo lothando elivela kuJehova uNkulunkulu.

Kodwa uJehova ubhekana namaqiniso. Uyazi ukuthi abafowethu nodadewethu abaningi balinganiselwe ngenxa yezimo ezinjengokukhula noma izinkinga zempilo ezingathi sína. Abanye babhekana nokukhuphuka kwezindleko zokuphila, izingxabano zombango, izimpi, noma ukuphikiswa komsebenzi wethu.

“UJehova ungokoqobo”?! Ingabe uvele wakusho lokho? UNkulunkulu uSomandla wendawo yonke ungokoqobo? UHerd ​​ufuna sikholelwe ukuthi uJehova usanda kuqaphela ukuthi ngemva kokuthwesa abantu bakhe umthwalo iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu, manje sekuyisikhathi sokuwususa emihlane yabo egobile namahlombe abo axegayo? Ingabe uJehova usebonile, njengoba uHerd esho, ukuthi “abafowethu nodadewethu abaningi balinganiselwe izimo ezinjengokukhula noma izinkinga zempilo ezingathi sína, ukukhuphuka kwezindleko zokuphila, izingxabano zombango, impi, noma ukuphikiswa komsebenzi.” Ngokujulile?! Wayengekho yini uJehova eminyakeni engu-20^th ngekhulu leminyaka ngezimpi zalo zezwe zokuqala nezesibili, impi ebandayo, inkathi yenuzi, izingxabano zombango zeminyaka yawo-XNUMX, ukwehla kwamandla emali ngeminyaka yawo-XNUMX? Ingabe kwakukuncane ukugula ngaleso sikhathi? Ingabe abantu sebeqala ukuguga manje?

Uma ukususa imfuneko yamahora kuyisenzo sothando esivela kuJehova uNkulunkulu, khona-ke singakuthethelela kanjani ukubeka leyo mfuneko koFakazi BakaJehova iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu? Impela lokho ngeke kuphinde kubhekwe njengesenzo sothando!? Akunjalo, futhi lelo yiqiniso elisobala kangangokuthi iNdikimba Ebusayo idinga ukukholisa umhlambi wayo ukuthi konke lokhu kwenziwa nguJehova. Abazimisele ukwamukela noma yimuphi umthwalo wemfanelo ngezenzo zabo.

Nokho, ukwazi lokhu, ngakho-ke asinawo amahloni ngokulungisa okwenziwayo, futhi akwenzi…ukuxolisa kuyadingeka ngokungakutholi kahle ngaphambilini. Siyaqonda ukuthi le yindlela uJehova asebenza ngayo. Wembula izinto kancane kancane lapho zidingeka.

Afuthi kuthiwani ngaleso saziso esiphathelene nokubika kwethu Kwenkonzo Yasensimini? UJehova uyasihlonipha. Uyasethemba.

Uma beninokungabaza ngaphambilini, niyakwazi manje ukubona ubuzenzisi kulokho abakushoyo? UMark Sanderson ukutshela ukuthi isaziso sokungasayibiki inkonzo yasensimini sivela kuNkulunkulu, ngoba uJehova “uyasihlonipha” futhi “uyasethemba.” Kodwa uma lolu shintsho lwaluvela kuJehova ngempela, khona-ke amadoda embula lolu shintsho enza kanjalo ngaphansi kokuphefumlelwa. Ngeke bathi ngeqiniso banamaphutha futhi abaphefumulelwe kuyilapho bethi, ngaso leso sikhathi, izinguquko abasanda kuziletha zivela kuJehova.

Ubuzenzisi buwuhlobo olukhethekile lokuqamba amanga. Ubuzenzisi obungokwenkolo, obunjengobuzenzisi uJesu abulahla kubaFarisi, buwukwenza sengathi ukhulumela uNkulunkulu kuyilapho empeleni uzifunela izinzuzo zakho siqu.

Njengempisi embethe imvu, uzenza into ongeyiyo ukuze udle okokomunye. AmaKristu angakaJesu Kristu, hhayi amadoda.

“Kodwa oqinisekisayo ukuthi wena nathi singabakaKristu futhi osigcobileyo nguNkulunkulu. Futhi ubeke uphawu lwakhe phezu kwethu futhi uye wasinika uphawu lwalokho okuzayo, okungukuthi, umoya, ezinhliziyweni zethu.” ( 2 Korinte 1:21, 22 )

Kepha uma ningenawo umoya kaKristu, aningabakhe.

Kodwa-ke, anivumelani nenyama, kodwa nomoya, uma umoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala kini ngempela. Kepha uma umuntu engenawo umoya kaKristu, lowo kasiye owakhe. ”(Roma 8: 9)

Uma umoya kaKristu uhlala kithi, silalela uJesu. Sizimisele ukumnika isikhathi sethu, izinto esinazo, sonke isiqu sethu, ukuzinikela kwethu. Ngoba ngokwenza konke lokho, sikhulekela uBaba wethu osezulwini.

Amadoda anjengezimpisi afuna ukushwabadela lokho esikunikela eNkosini yethu. Bafuna ukulalela kwethu, ukwethembeka, nakho konke esinakho. Singase sicabange ukuthi sinikeza uNkulunkulu lezi zinto eziyigugu, kodwa eqinisweni, sikhonza abantu.

Lapho amadoda anjalo esezuze igunya elikhulu kangaka nokulawula abanye, ayakwenyanya ukuliyeka futhi azokwenza cishe noma iyiphi ubude ukuze aligcine uma ezizwa esongelwa.

Njengobufakazi balokhu, cabangela ubude indikimba ebusayo yakwaIsrayeli eyayizimisele ukuhamba kubo lapho izizwa isongelwa.

“Kwase kubuthana abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi, bathi: “Siyakwenze njani na? Indoda le yenza izimangaliso ezinkulu. Futhi uma simvumela ukuba enze kanjalo, bonke abantu bayokholwa kuye futhi amaRoma azofika athathe isikhundla sethu nesizwe sethu. ( Johane 11:47, 48 )

UJesu wayesanda kuvusa umngane wakhe, uLazaru, kodwa laba bantu ababi babona usongo engcebweni yabo nesikhundla sabo okwakuvezwa izimangaliso zikaJesu. Ngakho bafuna ukumbulala, futhi ekugcineni, bambulala. Yeka ukuthi kumangalisa kanjani!

INdikimba Ebusayo yoFakazi BakaJehova ifuna umhlambi wayo ukholelwe ukuthi lezi zinguquko zezimfundiso nezimiso zemihlangano yaminyaka yonke zivela kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ingabe lokho kunengqondo kuwe, noma ingabe ubuzenzisi babo budla lubi?

Ake sibuyekeze lezi zinguquko.

Eyokuqala, eyethulwa uGeoffrey Jackson, iphathelene nokuphela kwesimiso sezinto akholelwa ukuthi siqala ngokuhlaselwa kweBabiloni Elikhulu.

Kukho konke ukuphila kwami, ngatshelwa ukuthi lapho kuqala ukuhlasela kweBabiloni Elikhulu, kwakuyoba sekwephuze kakhulu nganoma yimuphi wabangane bami noma amalungu omkhaya ayeyishiyile iNhlangano ukuba asindiswe. Manje, lokho sekushintshile. UJackson wachaza ukuthi labo abashiye iNhlangano basazoba nethuba ngomzuzu wokugcina lokuphenduka babuye. Kungani iNdikimba Ebusayo yenza lolu shintsho? Ngokusobala ayiveli kuJehova ngoba uNkulunkulu akazidukisi amashumi eminyaka izingane zakhe ngezimfundiso zamanga, bese egxumela ngomzuzu wokugcina ngokuphazima kweso.

Ushintsho lwesibili, olwethulwa nguSamuel Herd, luphathelene nokususwa kombiko wenkonzo yasensimini oyisibopho osekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu udingeka.

Sabonisa ukuthi akukho lutho eBhayibhelini olusekela umbono wokuthi amaKristu abike isikhathi sawo nendawo abekwe kuyo nyanga zonke njengokungathi angabadayisi abasebenza enkampanini enkulu yokunyathelisa. Nokho, iNdikimba Ebusayo yatshela umhlambi wayo ukuthi yayilalela uJehova ngokubika nyanga zonke. Manje, uSanderson uyayiphikisa leyo mfundiso, ethi uJehova uye wayisusa ngothando leyo mfuneko. Yeka umbhedo!

Zombili lezi zinguquko zithinta izimfundiso ezavumela iNdikimba Ebusayo ukuba ilawule umhlambi wayo ngokuqinile. Kumelwe sikhumbule ukuthi umprofethi wamanga ulawula umhlambi wakhe ngokwesaba. Ngakho-ke, kungani bengawayeka amaqhinga okunqoba asebesebenze iminyaka engaphezu kweyi-100? Bebengeke bakwenze lokho ngaphandle uma lawo maqhinga engasasebenzi. NjengeSanhedrini, iNdikimba Ebusayo ngeke ibheke noma iyiphi inkambo njengeyeqisayo ukuba ingalondoloza “indawo yabo nesizwe sabo,” ( Johane 11:48 ) okuyiNhlangano yoFakazi BakaJehova.

Ingabe iNhlangano ihamba phambili? Ingabe iNdikimba Ebusayo iphoqelelwa ukwenza lezi zinguquko amandla angaphandle ezombusazwe nawezwe?

Lena imibuzo esizozama ukuyiphendula kuvidiyo yethu elandelayo neyokugcina yalolu chungechunge ehlanganisa umhlangano waminyaka yonke ka-2023.
