I-JW Feb Broadcast, Ingxenye 2: Yembula Indlela INdikimba Ebusayo Elawula Ngayo Izingqondo Zabalandeli Bayo

Ingabe uke walizwa igama elithi “Denominational Blinders”?

Njengomunye woFakazi BakaJehova, ngangibhekana nokukhohlisa okunengqondo ‘kwezimpumputhe zamahlelo’ njalo lapho ngiphuma emsebenzini wokushumayela endlini ngendlu.

I-Denominational Blinders ibhekisela “ekuzibabeni ngokuzenzakalelayo noma ekubekeni eceleni ngaphandle kokucabangela ngokungathi sína noma yiziphi izimpikiswano noma ingxoxo ephathelene nokholo, ukuziphatha, izimiso zokuziphatha, ingokomoya, ubuNkulunkulu noma ukuphila kwangemva kokufa okuvela ngaphandle kwehlelo lomuntu siqu lenkolo noma isiko lenkolo.”

Yebo, angikaze ngicabange ukuthi nami ngigqoke “izimpumputhe zehlelo”. Hhayi, hhayi mina! Nganginalo iqiniso. Kodwa yilokho kanye bonke abanye engangikhuluma nabo ababekukholelwa. Nokho, mina noma bona asizange sizihlole izinkolelo zethu. Kunalokho, sasinamadoda athembekile ayezosichazela izinto futhi sasiqiniseka kakhulu ukuthi lokho ayekufundisa kwakuyiqiniso, kangangokuthi sakucisha ukucabanga kwethu okugxekayo lapho kufika abanye bezobekela inselele izinkolelo zethu.

Esizokuhlola ngokulandelayo yisibonelo sendlela amadoda ahlakaniphile angasebenzisa ngayo ngokunenzuzo ukwethenjwa kwethu ukuze asikhohlise ukuze sikholelwe okuphambene kakhulu neqiniso.

Lokhu kuthathwe ekusakazweni kwangoFebhuwari ku-JW.org.

“Ngokuvamile emazweni lapho umsebenzi wethu uvinjelwe khona, kusakazwa amanga nenkulumo-ze ukuze kuthethelelwe ushushiso, kodwa akukhona nje emazweni anjalo lapho sibhekene nemibiko engamanga, ukwaziswa okungamanga namanga aluhlaza. . . .

Uyabona ukuthi wenzani? U-Anthony Griffin uncike kuzimpumputhe zehlelo sonke esasizigqoka njengoFakazi BakaJehova ukuze akwenze wamukele akushoyo njengeqiniso levangeli. Njalo sasifundiswa ukuthi thina, njengoFakazi BakaJehova, sasishushiswa ngenxa yokukhuluma iqiniso emazweni anjengeRussia neNyakatho Korea. Kodwa manje usefuna ukungena kulokho kuchema ukuze akwenze wamukele ukuthi amanye amazwe ashushisa oFakazi BakaJehova ngemibiko engamanga, ukwaziswa okungamanga, namanga aluhlaza. Inkinga ukuthi la mazwe akusiwona ombuso wobushiqela, kodwa amazwe anamuhla anezinhlelo eziqinile zamalungelo abantu.

"Eqinisweni, nakuba sikhuluma iqiniso ..."

Futhi, u-Anthony uvele acabange ukuthi abalaleli bakhe bazokholwa ukuthi baphethe iqiniso futhi wonke umuntu unamanga. Kodwa ngeke siphinde senze eminye imibono.

"Izihlubuki nabanye bangasenza njengabangathembeki, njengabakhohlisi..."

Ukushaya igama. Uzibandakanya ekubizeni amagama. “Izihlubuki zingase zisenze njengabangathembeki, njengabakhohlisi.” Cabanga isikhashana. Ukuthi usola abanye njengezihlubuki, akusho ukuthi banjalo. Angasho ukuthi ngiyisihlubuki, kodwa isihlubuki kulo mongo, ngokomongo weBhayibheli, ngumuntu oshiye uJehova uNkulunkulu. Angikamshiyi uJehova uNkulunkulu. Pho uqamba amanga noma mina? Ingabe uyisihlubuki, noma yimina? Uyabona, ukubiza amagama kusebenza kuphela uma izethameli zakho zigcwele abantu abakhohlisayo abangakwazi ukuzicabangela bona.

“Singasabela kanjani kulokho kuphathwa ngendlela engenabulungiswa? Ake silalele ingxoxo yakamuva yokukhulekela kwasekuseni kamfowethu uSeth Hyatt “Ukukhuluma Iqiniso Nakuba Kubhalwe NjengabaKhohlisi.”

“Ingabe wake wabhekana nombiko omubi, umbiko ongamanga ngabantu bakaJehova?”

Yebo, Seti, ngiye ngabhekana nombiko ongamanga ngabantu bakaJehova. Njengomunye wabantu bakaJehova, kaningi ngiye ngamiswa kabi, nginyundelwe futhi ngiqanjwe amanga. Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi oFakazi BakaJehova nabo baye bahlanjalazwa, banyundelwa futhi baqanjwa amanga ngabo. Nokho, kuthiwani ngemibiko eyiqiniso? Ikuphi ukutusa uSeti ayokunikeza izilaleli zakhe ngendlela yokusabela emibikweni engemihle ngoFakazi BakaJehova esekelwe eqinisweni? Ake sibone ukuthi ubheka izinhlangothi zombili zodaba ngendlela efanele yini.

“Kungase kube isihloko sephephandaba noma ingxenye yezindaba zakusihlwa, noma mhlawumbe isihloko esithile esivezwa enkonzweni. Kungaba izinhlobonhlobo zezifundo, ukuma kwethu kokungathathi hlangothi…..”

“Ukuma kwethu kokungathathi hlangothi”? Uqonde ukuthi, Seth, uthanda ukusebenzisana kweminyaka eyi-10 neNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene njengeNhlangano Okungeyona Ekahulumeni?

"Ukuma kwethu ngegazi ..."

Yebo, kungaba kubi ukuthi ukuma kwabo okungokomBhalo ngegazi kuphikwe emaphephandabeni, ngaphandle uma, kuvele kungabi ngokombhalo nhlobo. Masingacabangi lutho. Ake sihlole amaqiniso.

“Ukunamathela kwethu ezindinganisweni zikaJehova eziphakeme zokuziphatha nokwazisa ubungcwele bomshado, noma ukuphikelela kwethu ekugcineni ibandla lihlanzekile ngokususa ekuhlanganyeleni abenzi bobubi abangaphenduki.”

USeth uhileleka owakhe ulwazi oluncane lwamanga nokuhlanekezela amaqiniso. Imibiko ehlasela iNhlangano ayihlangene nokususwa ekuhlanganyeleni, kodwa ihlobene nokugwema. Akekho othi inhlangano yenkolo ayinalo ilungelo lokuxosha ilungu elephula imithetho yayo yangaphakathi. Yilokho okushiwo ukususa ekuhlanganyeleni. Okubangwayo kule mibiko wumkhuba wokugwema odlulela ngale kokususa ekuhlanganyeleni. Ungasusa umuntu ekuhlanganyeleni, kodwa-ke kudingeka ukuthi bonke abangane nomndeni bamkhiphe inyumbazane umuntu osusiwe kudlulela ngalé kwalokho okubhalile. Ngokushiya lelo qiniso, u-Seth uhileleka kweyakhe imininingwane engamanga nokuhlanekezela amaqiniso.

“Kodwa noma ngabe kuyini isihloko, kukhona izinto ezifanayo. Imibiko enjalo ngokuvamile ibonakala ngokuhlanekezelwa, ukungalungi, futhi ngezinye izikhathi amanga aluhlaza futhi ngokungagwemeki yethulwa ngokuqiniseka nesiqiniseko njengokungathi iyiqiniso.”

Hhayi-ke, Seth othandekayo, kubonakala sengathi ulindele ukuthi sithathe izwi lakho kukho konke lokhu ngoba awusinikezanga nesisodwa isibonelo sombiko omubi, ulwazi olunganembile, noma amanga. Nokho zonke izimangalo nezinsolo ozenzile kuze kube manje ziye… “zethulwa ngokuqiniseka nangokuqiniseka njengokungathi ziyiqiniso.”

Niyabona, lowomnyango ujikela nhlangothi zombili.

Manje uma ubhekene nombiko onjalo uzizwa unjani? Udangele, udangele, uthukuthele?

Uma umbiko ungamanga, kungani ungazizwa udangele, udangele, noma uthukuthele? Ngisho ukuthi uma ubona ukuthi kuyiqiniso, yebo, ungase uzizwe udangele futhi udangele ukubona ukuthi ukhashelwe amadoda obuthembele ukuthi azokutshela iqiniso. Ungase ucasuke nokuthi ukhohliswe futhi wamosha isikhathi esiyigugu namandla ukhuthaza amanga. Kepha uma uneqiniso, umbiko wamanga kufanele ube yisizathu sokujabula. Bazizwa kanjalo abaphostoli.

“Ngakho baphuma phambi kweSanhedrini bejabula, ngoba babebalwe njengabakufanelekele ukuhlaziswa ngenxa yegama lakhe. Futhi nsuku zonke ethempelini nasendlini ngendlu baqhubeka ngaphandle kokuyekethisa befundisa futhi bememezela izindaba ezinhle ngoKristu, uJesu.” ( IzEnzo 5:41, 42 )

“Cabangela okuhlangenwe nakho kukadade oyiphayona owayeqhuba isifundo seBhayibheli futhi lapho eqhuba isifundo owesifazane othile wangena endlini kungashiwongo, akazange angqongqoze, akazange angqongqoze, futhi njengoba kwaba ngumuntu amaziyo. yomfundi. Wangena, waphazamisa isifundo seBhayibheli futhi esandleni sakhe wayephethe incwadi ebhalwe indoda, eyayike yahlanganyela nabantu bakaJehova.”

Kazi iyiphi incwadi loya wesifazane abeyibhala? Mhlawumbe lena, eyenziwa owayeyilungu leNdikimba Ebusayo. Noma, kungenzeka kube nguye lo, futhi ngowayenguFakazi KaJehova?

Kungani ungasibonisi, Seti? Ngiqonde ukuthi, uma ungumuntu wakini, u-Anthony Griffin wathi, ophethe iqiniso, yini okufanele uyesabe ngokusibonisa lokho othi “kungokungamanga, umbiko ongamanga, amanga aluhlaza?”

Uyibonile yini indlela uSeti akhombisa ngayo ukuhlangana, efaka umbala umbono wezithameli zakhe? Kodwa mhlawumbe okwenzeka ngempela ukuthi umngane walo wesifazane owamukelekile emzini wakhe futhi owayengena futhi ahambe ngokuthanda kwakhe, esaba ukuthi umngane wakhe othandekayo wayedukiswa ukuba ajoyine ihlelo, wangenela ukuze aphazamise isifundo ukuze avikele umngane wakhe. ekulimaleni?

Ake sibone ukuthi uqhubeka kanjani ebonisana ngale ndaba, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngokwethembeka nangokukhululekile, noma ngokuchema kwehlelo okumqondisayo.

“Owesifazane wathi kumfundi, 'Kufanele uyifunde le ncwadi.' Nokho, kwalandela ingxoxo ethakazelisayo, futhi udadewethu wazithola esesesimweni sokuba umkhohlisi. Wasisingatha kanjani leso simo futhi umfundi weBhayibheli wasabela kanjani?”

Ngingabaza kakhulu uma udade oyiphayona ezenza umkhohlisi. Ngiyaqiniseka ngempela ukuthi wayeqiniseka njengami ngesinye isikhathi ukuthi ayekufundisa kuyiqiniso. Naye wayeyisisulu sokukhohliswa.

Ngaphambi kokuba siphendule lowo mbuzo, ake sibone ukuthi amazwi omBhalo wosuku lwanamuhla namavesi awuzungezile angasisiza kanjani ukuba sibe nombono ofanele. Bheka ukuthi ungathanda yini kweyesi-2 Korinte isahluko 6 futhi uphawule ivesi lesine. UPawulu uthi, “ngazo zonke izindlela sizitusa njengezikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu.” Manje, okulandelayo kuwuchungechunge olude lwezimo nezimo umphostoli uPawulu abhekana nazo enkonzweni yakhe namaKristu athembekile aye abhekana nazo enkonzweni yawo kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Evesini 7, amazwi omBhalo wosuku lwanamuhla, “sizitusa njengezikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu” ngenkulumo eneqiniso, (kahle, sikhulekela uJehova uNkulunkulu weqiniso futhi kuyasijabulisa lokho futhi njengoba amazwi ethu INqabayokulinda eveza iphuzu, sineqiniso. ezintweni ezinkulu nezincane, siyalithanda iqiniso, siyakuthanda ukukhuluma iqiniso ngoJehova.” Ngakho, kuyathakazelisa ukuphawula amazwi kaPawulu evesini 8, athi, “ngenkazimulo nehlazo, ngombiko omubi nombiko omuhle.” la mazwi athakazelisayo, sibhekwa “njengabakhohlisi kodwa nokho sineqiniso.”

Uyalibona iphutha engxoxweni yakhe? USeth ufunda amazwi umphostoli uPawulu awasebenzisa kuye nakumaKristu osuku lwakhe, kodwa uSeti uwasebenzisa koFakazi BakaJehova. Siyazi ukuthi uPawulu wayengumKristu weqiniso futhi wafundisa iqiniso, kodwa… Lapha, ake ngibeke lokhu ngenye indlela. Uma ungomunye woFakazi BakaJehova obuka le vidiyo, thatha wonke amagama asanda kuwasho u-Seth Hyatt, izwi nezwi, khumbula, kodwa cabanga uwezwa epulpiti eSontweni LamaKatolika. Ngabe basazokuncenga? Noma cabanga ngomdala wamaMormon emnyango wakho, esho wona kanye la mazwi, esebenzisa yona kanye le ndlela yokucabanga, ukukukholisa ukuthi isonto le-LDS liyisonto elilodwa leqiniso.

USeth akakafakazeli lutho kithi okwamanje. Usebenzisa “inkohliso yenhlangano,” ethemba ukuthi izilaleli zakhe zicabanga ukuthi oFakazi BakaJehova bakholelwa zonke izinto abaphostoli ababezikholelwa futhi baziphatha ngendlela abaphostoli ababezikholelwa ngayo. Kodwa akazange akufakazele lokho.

“Manje, lokho kuyindida ethokozisayo, akunjalo? Ukuba neqiniso kodwa ube esikhundleni somkhohlisi. Lapho sibhekana nombiko omubi owenza kanjalo kubantu bakaJehova, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi uJehova waba isisulu sokuqala sokuhlaselwa okunjalo.”

Futhi, amanga anengqondo “odumo ngokuhlanganyela”, kulokhu kuphela uJehova uNkulunkulu abaziqhathanisa naye. Ubeka iNhlangano ezingeni elifanayo nelikaJehova, kodwa lokho akufanele kusimangaze. Uzakwabo, u-Anthony Griffin, kulokhu kusakazwa okufanayo wakhuluma “ngoJehova neNhlangano yakhe” izikhathi eziyisithupha njengokungathi lezi zibili ziyafana, okuyinto, akunjalo, ngoba iNhlangano ilindele ukuthi ubalalele phambi kukaJehova. Awu yebo! Singakuqonda kanjani okunye ukuthi kudingeka ulalele umyalo we-Nqabayokulinda, noma uphikisana nalokho okushiwo yiBhayibheli.

“Bheka eBhayibhelini lakho kuGenesise isahluko 3. Kusukela evesini 1, “Inyoka yayiqaphe kunazo zonke izilwane zasendle uJehova uNkulunkulu ayezenzile. Ngakho yathi kowesifazane: “Ingabe uNkulunkulu ushilo ngempela ukuthi akumelwe nidle kuyo yonke imithi yensimu?” Manje, sifunda okuthile ngendlela kaSathane. Akazange aqale ngenkulumo, waqala ngombuzo, hhayi nje umbuzo—umbuzo owawuklanyelwe ukutshala imbewu yokungabaza. “Ingabe uNkulunkulu wakusho lokho ngempela?” Manje evesini lesibili nelesithathu owesifazane uyaphendula: Ngasekupheleni kwevesi lesithathu empeleni ucaphuna umyalo kaJehova: ‘Akumelwe nidle kuwo, cha, akumelwe niwuthinte; kungenjalo uzokufa.' Ngakho wawuqonda umyalo futhi wawuqonda nesijeziso. Kodwa phawula evesini lesine inyoka yathi kowesifazane, “Ngokuqinisekile aniyikufa.” Manje, lokho bekungamanga. Kodwa kwethulwa ngokuqiniseka nangokuqiniseka njengokungathi kuyiqiniso. Bese kuthi evesini 5, “UNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi ngalo kanye usuku enidla ngalo kuwo, amehlo enu ayovuleka, futhi niyoba njengoNkulunkulu, nazi okuhle nokubi.” USathane, uyise wamanga, wafaka uJehova esikhundleni somkhohlisi. UJesu wabhekana nokuhlaselwa okufanayo enkonzweni yakhe yasemhlabeni futhi abaphikisi bakhe bambiza umphostoli uPawulu njengomkhohlisi. Ngakho lapho sibhekene nemibiko engemihle, engamanga, asimangali. Umbuzo uthi "sizophendula kanjani?"

USeth ubuza ukuthi lapho oFakazi BakaJehova bebhekene nemibiko engemihle, kufanele basabele kanjani? Lapha kulapho kuphelela khona amanga “wodumo ngokuhlanganyela”. Siyazi ukuthi yonke imibiko engemihle ngoJesu kanye nomphostoli uPawulu yayingamanga. Asazi ukuthi okufanayo kuyasebenza koFakazi BakaJehova ngoba kuze kube manje, uSeth akasinikanga nesisodwa isibonelo sombiko ongamanga. Kodwa fair ngokwanele. Ake sithi kunombiko ongamanga. Kulungile, ngakho kufanele basabele kanjani oFakazi BakaJehova? Njengoba ngishilo, kulapho kuphela “ukuhlonishwa ngokuhlanganyela”. Abafuni ukuziqhathanisa noJesu kulesi senzakalo, ngoba uJesu akazange abalekele umbiko ongamanga. NoPawulu akazange. Kungani kufanele? Babeneqiniso, ngakho-ke babengaveza amanga anoma yimuphi umbiko futhi bembule i-ajenda efihliwe ngemuva kwamanga abahlaseli babo. Kodwa njengoba usuzobona, leyo akuyona indlela uSeth Hyatt neNdikimba Ebusayo yoFakazi BakaJehova abakhuthaza ngayo izinga nefayela ukuthi lilandelwe.

“Ingabe uke wayicabangela imibuzo u-Eve ayengazibuza yona eyayingamsiza enze isinqumo esihle? Nansi eyodwa: Ngazini ngomuntu owumthombo walo mbiko omubi? Siyini isisusa sakhe? Ingabe ungifunela okuhle kodwa, noma une-ajenda? Futhi omunye umbuzo: Ngaphambi kokuba ngamukele njengeqiniso, umbiko omubi ovela kumuntu engingamazi, ingabe ukhona umuntu engimaziyo, engimethembayo engingakhuluma naye futhi ngithole iseluleko esihle?

Indida iphezu kwenyanga. Uthi okwakufanele akwenze u-Eva kwakuwukubuza imibuzo ngaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo sakhe. Uke wazama yini ukubuza imibuzo eNdikimbeni Ebusayo? Uma ubuza imibuzo eminingi kakhulu, uma uveza ukungqubuzana okuningi phakathi kwalokho ezikufundisayo nokulotshwe eBhayibhelini, ucabanga ukuthi kwenzekani? Uma ubuke ukuqulwa kwecala okuhlukahlukene okudaluliwe kulesi siteshi, uzokwazi ukuthi ukubuza imibuzo kuholela ekugwemeni.

” Yebo, u-Eva wayengaxoxa nomyeni wakhe futhi bakhulume noJehova ndawonye futhi ukube u-Eva wazibuza leyo mibuzo cishe umhlaba ubuyoba indawo ehluke kakhulu namuhla. Kodwa u-Eva wakhetha ukukholelwa amanga.

Yebo, yebo, futhi yebo! Ukube u-Eva wayesanda kuzibuza imibuzo futhi akazange azamukele ngobumpumputhe izinto udeveli [azethulwa ngokuqiniseka nangokuqiniseka njengokungathi ziyiqiniso] ngabe sonke sisendaweni engcono kakhulu. Kodwa akukhona lokho uSeth Hyatt neNdikimba Ebusayo yoFakazi BakaJehova abakukhuthazayo lapha. Abafuni ukuthi ubuze imibuzo. Bafuna ukholwe abakushoyo, period! Qaphela!

“Kuthiwani ngodade oyiphayona nomfundi weBhayibheli engikhulume ngaye ekuqaleni? Basisingatha kanjani lesi simo? Nokho, udade oyiphayona wasitshela ukuthi wacabanga ngeqiniso lokuthi wayeyisivakashi endlini yomfundi weBhayibheli futhi ngakho waba nomuzwa wokuthi kwakuyoba luhlaza ukuba aphazamise ingxoxo, ngakho wakhetha ukungasho lutho. Wenzani umfundi weBhayibheli? Ngokuthakazelisayo wabuza owesifazane, ingabe uyamazi indoda eyabhala leyo ncwadi? Cha. Uyasazi isizathu sakhe sokubhala? Kungani engabhala incwadi enjalo? Ngiyazi ukuthi le ntokazi ifika izongifundela iBhayibheli futhi ngiyazi ukuthi isisusa sayo sihle, ngakho-ke angicabangi ukuthi kufanele ngifunde incwadi yakho.”

Futhi, ukuguqulwa okuncane kuzosisiza sibone imbobo enkulu emcabangweni kaSeti. Ake sithi owesifazane kule ndaba utadisha iBhayibheli namaBaptist, lapho umngane wakhe egijima engena endlini ephethe INqabayokulinda ethi, kumelwe uwufunde. Ifakazela ukuthi uZiqu-zintathu ungamanga. Kodwa lona wesifazane uthi, ngiyamazi umfundisi wamaBaptist obelokhu eza lapha masonto onke ezongifundisa iBhayibheli, kodwa angazi ukuthi ubani owabhala lowo magazini, ngakho ngicabanga ukuthi ngizomane nginamathele kumuntu engimaziyo. Uyabona ukuthi ukucabanga kukaSeth Hyatt kuncike kanjani ngokuphelele ekuthathekeni komhlambi wakhe? Udinga ukuthi bamukele isisekelo sokuthi balungile futhi wonke umuntu unephutha, ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokuhlola noma yini embi, ngoba ngeke ibe yiqiniso. Izimpumputhe zehlelo!

Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi udade oyiphayona wayeqotho kakhulu, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi wayengeyena isisulu sezimfundiso zamanga azinikezwa kusukela esemncane. Uma samukela kuphela lokho abantu abasitshela kona ngaphandle kokubheka ubufakazi, siyokwazi kanjani ukuphunyula emithonjeni yenkolo yamanga?

Kuthiwani uma wonke amaJuda osuku lukaJesu ayebonisana noSeth Hyatt?

“Hhayi-ke, angimazi lomfo kaJesu, kodwa ngiyabazi abaFarisi abebengifundisa imiBhalo eNgcwele kusukela ngisemncane, ngakho ngicabanga ukuthi ngizobanamathela, ngoba angiyazi imiBhalo. isisusa noma i-ajenda yalo muntu onguJesu.”

"Yeka impendulo enhle." Umfundi weBhayibheli wakuthola. Futhi nathi siyayithola.”

“Yeka ukusabela okuhle”?! Sethi, uncoma ukungazi ngamabomu. Uphendula ubumpumputhe bokomoya bube amandla.

“Siyazi futhi akumangazi ukuthi sizoba yizisulu zemibiko engemihle. Ngezinye izikhathi singase sibe abakhohlisi.”

Ukukhethwa kwamagama okuthakazelisayo: "Ngezinye izikhathi, singase sifakwe endimeni yabakhohlisi". “Lingisa endimeni”, eh? Lapho uJesu etshela abaholi benkolo bosuku lwakhe, “Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane, nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo.” ( Johane 8:44 ) Wayengabaphonsi esikhundleni sokuba abakhohlisi, ngoba lokho kwakuyosho ukuthi babengebona abakhohlisi, kodwa njengabalingisi abaphonswa ukuba babe nengxenye, uJesu wayebenza into ababengeyona. Cha mnumzane, ubengawaphonsi nhlobo. Babengabakhohlisi besobala futhi belula. Kunesizathu sokuthi uSeth ubhekise kuyo yonke le mibiko ekufikweni nokuthi kungani engafuni ukuthi uyizwe noma ufunde incwadi. Ngoba uma wenze kanjalo, ungazihlolela ukuthi imibiko ingamanga noma iyiqiniso. Uyazi ukuthi ekukhanyeni kosuku, iNhlangano ayihambi kahle.

Futhi uJehova usitshele ngokungagunci ukuthi kukhona abazimisele ukushintsha iqiniso likaNkulunkulu ngamanga.”

Impela! Ekugcineni kukhona esingavumelana ngakho. Futhi labo abazimisele ukushintsha iqiniso likaNkulunkulu ngamanga abazimisele ukuba labo abaqamba amanga kubo bathole ithuba lokuhlola noma yibuphi ubufakazi obungase bubonise ukuthi baqamba amanga.

Kodwa lokho akusoze kwaba njalo ngawe noma kimi, kunalokho sibambelela kuJehova, uNkulunkulu weqiniso. Siyaqhubeka sizitusa njengezikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu ngenkulumo eyiqiniso.”

Futhi lapho unayo. Phakathi nayo yonke inkulumo yakhe, uSeth wehlulekile ukusinika isibonelo sokungamanga, ukwaziswa okungelona iqiniso, imibiko engamanga noma amanga aluhlaza athi ahlasela inhlangano ethanda iqiniso yoFakazi BakaJehova. Esikhundleni salokho, ufuna ukuthi uvale amehlo, ufake izimpumputhe zakho zehlelo bese uphokophela phambili ukholelwa ukuthi ungomunye wabantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiweyo. Futhi ulindele ukuba wenze lokhu ngasiphi isisekelo? Ingabe ukunikeze noma yibuphi ubufakazi bokuthi usekela noma yini ayishilo kule nkulumo, noma zonke izimangalo zakhe ziye…[“kwethulwe ngokuqiniseka nangokuqiniseka njengokungathi kuyiqiniso.”]

Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi udade oyiphayona ekulandiseni kukaSeth Hyatt wayekholelwa ngempela ukuthi ufundisa isifundo sakhe seBhayibheli iqiniso. Ngikusho lokho ngoba ngifundise abafundi beBhayibheli abaningi engangikholelwa ukuthi kuyiqiniso, kodwa manje engikwaziyo ukuthi kwakungamanga.

Ngiyakunxusa ukuthi ungalenzi lelo phutha. Ungalaleli iseluleko sikaSethi. Ungakholwa ngoba njengamanje uyabethemba abantu abenza izinkulumo eziqinile sengathi ziyiqiniso. Kunalokho, landela iseluleko esiphefumulelwe esisencwadini eya kwabaseFilipi:

Yilokhu engiqhubeka ngikuthandazela, ukuba uthando lwenu luvame kakhulu ulwazi olunembile nokuqonda okuphelele; ukuze niqiniseke ngezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu, ukuze ningabi nasici, ningakhubekisi abanye kuze kube lusuku lukaKristu; futhi nigcwaliswe ngesithelo esilungile, esingoJesu Kristu, kube inkazimulo nodumo lukaNkulunkulu. (Funda eyabaseFilipi 1:9-11.)

Ngaphambi kokuvala, ngidinga ukungeza okuthile engikuphuthelwe engxenyeni 1 yalokhu kubuyekezwa Kokusakazwa NgoFebhuwari 2024. Kwakuhlobene nokubhekisela kuka-Anthony Griffin kokuthi u-Elisha “ummeleli kaNkulunkulu” nokuhlobana kwakhe neNdikimba Ebusayo nayo abhekisela kuyo ngokuthi “ummeleli kaNkulunkulu.”

Kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kokumelela othile nokwenza njengomprofethi. U-Elisha wayengumprofethi, kodwa kwa-Israyeli wayengaziwa njengommeleli kaJehova.

Ngangifuna ukuqiniseka ukuthi angikhulumi indaba lapho ingekho khona, ngakho ngacwaninga egameni lommeleli ukuze ngibone ukuthi inceku kaNkulunkulu ingabizwa ngokuthi ummeleli wayo yini. Ekuqaleni, ngangibukeka sengathi nginephutha. KuyiNguqulo Yezwe Elisha, igama lisetshenziswe ngoJohane uMbhapathizi kuJohane 1:6 noJesu Kristu kuJohane 7:29; 16:27, 28; 17:8. Angitholanga noma yikuphi ukwenzeka kwayo kokuthi isetshenziswe ngamaKristu ewonke, ngisho nangabaphostoli. Nokho, njengoba ngangazi ukuthi INguqulo Yezwe Elisha ihlushwa ukuchema ezimfundisweni zoFakazi BakaJehova, ngibone kuwukuhlakanipha ukuhlola i-interlinear ukuze ngithole lawo mavesi. Kuvela ukuthi igama elithi "ummeleli" lengeziwe. Okukulawo mavesi amazwi abonisa ukuthi othile uthunywe uNkulunkulu noma uvela kuNkulunkulu.

UJohane wayethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba ayovulela uJesu Kristu indlela, kodwa akazange amelele uNkulunkulu. Wayengumprofethi, kodwa ukuba umprofethi akufani nokuba ummeleli. UJesu Kristu njengomuntu wayesesigabeni esingesakhe. Naye wayengumprofethi, engumprofethi omkhulu kunabo bonke, kodwa futhi wayengokuthile okwengeziwe, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Nokho, iBhayibheli alimbizi ummeleli kaNkulunkulu, noma lowo omelela uNkulunkulu. Manje, ungahle uthi ngihlukanisa izinwele, kodwa njengoba besho, udeveli usemininingwaneni. Uma ngimele umuntu, lokho kusho ukuthi ngiyamkhulumela. Ingabe amadoda eNdikimba Ebusayo akhulumela uNkulunkulu? Ingabe babethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba bakhulume egameni lakhe? Ingabe kufanele sizilalele ngendlela esilalela ngayo uNkulunkulu?

Bafuna uzicabange njengowesifazane waseShunemi owabona u-Elisha enza izimangaliso ezimbili. Esokuqala kwaba ukumnika indodana nakuba wayengenayo ingane futhi umyeni wakhe wayesekhulile. Okwesibili kwakuwukuvusa umfana ngemva kokuba eshone ngokuzuma.

Lokho ngingakubiza ngokuthi ubufakazi obuqinile bokuthi u-Elisha wayethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba asebenze njengomprofethi wakhe, akunjalo? Kodwa akazange athi ungummeleli kaNkulunkulu, akunjalo? Noma kunjalo, wayenobufakazi obanele bokuthi wayethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba abe umprofethi wakhe.

Yibuphi ubufakazi iNdikimba Ebusayo enabo bokufakazela ukuthi ithunyelwe ivela kuNkulunkulu?

Ukuzibiza ngommeleli kaJehova kusho ukuthi uthunywe uNkulunkulu futhi uma engakuthumanga usuke uhlambalaza, akunjalo? Ngiyakhumbula ukuthi isixuku sacula ngesikhathi inkosi uHerode ithatheka ngokubaluleka kwayo:

“Ngosuku olumisiwe uHerode wembatha ingubo yobukhosi wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela waqala ukunikeza inkulumo yeningi kubo. Khona-ke abantu ababebuthene baqala ukumemeza: “Izwi likaNkulunkulu, akulona elomuntu! Ngaso leso sikhathi ingelosi kaJehova yamshaya, ngoba akazange amnike inkazimulo uNkulunkulu, futhi wadliwa izimpethu wafa.” ( IzEnzo 12:21-23 )

Ukudla kokucabanga - xolela i-pun.

Siyabonga ngokubuka nokusekela umsebenzi wethu.

“Kwangathi uNkulunkulu onika ukuthula angaba nani nonke. Amen.” ( Roma 15:33 )
