Ubani ozimisa ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, ezisho ukuthi unguNkulunkulu?

Omunye wabangane bami abakhulu bangaphambili, umdala woFakazi BakaJehova owayengasangikhulumisi, wangitshela ukuthi wayemazi uDavid Splane ngesikhathi bobabili bekhonza njengamaphayona (abashumayeli besikhathi esigcwele boFakazi BakaJehova) esifundazweni saseQuebec, lapho bekhonza khona bobabili uDavid Splane. Canada. Ngokusekelwe kulokho angitshela khona ekujwayelaneni kwakhe noDavid Splane, anginaso isizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi uDavid Splane, manje oseNdikimbeni Ebusayo YoFakazi BakaJehova, wayeyindoda embi ebusheni bakhe. Eqinisweni, angikholwa ukuthi kukhona ilungu leNdikimba Ebusayo nanoma yimuphi wabasizi bayo owaqala njengamadoda anezinhloso ezingalungile. Njengami, ngicabanga ukuthi babekholelwa ngempela ukuthi babefundisa izindaba ezinhle zeqiniso zoMbuso.

Ngicabanga ukuthi kwakunjalo ngamalungu amabili adumile eNdikimba Ebusayo, uFred Franz nomshana wakhe, uRaymond Franz. Bobabili babekholelwa ukuthi babefunde iqiniso ngoNkulunkulu futhi bobabili babenikele ukuphila kwabo ekufundiseni lelo qiniso ngendlela ababeliqonda ngayo, kodwa kwabe sekufika isikhathi sabo “somgwaqo oya eDamaseku”.

Sonke sizobhekana nesikhathi sethu somgwaqo oya eDamasus. Uyazi ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini? Ngibhekise kulokho okwenzeka kuSawulu waseTarsu owaba ngumphostoli uPawulu. USawulu waqala engumFarisi oshisekayo owayengumshushisi ononya wamaKristu. WayengumJuda waseTarsu, owakhulela eJerusalema futhi wafunda ngaphansi komFarisi odumile, uGamaliyeli (IZenzo 22:3). Manje, ngolunye usuku, lapho eya eDamaseku eyobopha amaKristu angamaJuda ayehlala lapho, uJesu Kristu wabonakala kuye ngokukhanya okuphuphuthekisayo futhi wathi:

“Sawulu, Sawulu, ungizingelelani na? Ukuqhubeka ukhahlela izinkandi kwenza kube nzima kuwe.” ( IzEnzo 26:14 )

Yayisho ukuthini iNkosi yethu ‘ngokukhahlela izinkandi’?

Ngalezo zinsuku, umalusi wayesebenzisa induku ecijile ukuze asuse izinkomo zakhe. Ngakho, kubonakala sengathi kwakunezinto eziningi uSawulu ayebhekane nazo, njengokubulawa kukaStefanu akubona, okuchazwe kuzEnzo isahluko 7 , okwakufanele kumqhubele ekubeni aqaphele ukuthi wayelwa noMesiya. Nokho, waqhubeka ephikisana nalezo zixwayiso. Wayedinga okunye okwakuzomvusa.

NjengomFarisi othembekile, uSawule wayecabanga ukuthi ukhonza uJehova uNkulunkulu, futhi njengoSawule, uRaymond noFred Franz babecabanga okufanayo. Babecabanga ukuthi baneqiniso. Babeshisekela iqiniso. Kodwa kwenzekani kubo? Maphakathi nawo-1970, bobabili babenomzuzu wabo wokuya eDamaseku. Babhekana nobufakazi obungokomBhalo obufakazela ukuthi oFakazi BakaJehova babengafundisi iqiniso ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Lobu bufakazi buchazwe ngokuningiliziwe encwadini kaRaymond, Inhlekelele Yonembeza.

Ekhasini 316 kwangu-4^th eyanyatheliswa ngo-2004, singabona kafushane amaqiniso eBhayibheli bobabili abachayeka kuwo, njengoba nje uSawulu achayeka lapho ephuphuthekiswa ukukhanya kokubonakaliswa kukaJesu endleleni eya eDamaseku. Ngokwemvelo, njengomshana nomalume, babezoxoxa ngalezi zinto ndawonye. Lezi zinto yilezi:

• UJehova akanayo inhlangano emhlabeni.
• Wonke amaKristu anethemba lasezulwini futhi kufanele ahlanganyele.
• Alikho ilungiselelo elingokomthetho lenceku ethembekileyo neqondayo.
• Asikho isigaba sasemhlabeni sezinye izimvu.
• Inani le-144,000 lingokomfanekiso.
• Asiphili enkathini ekhethekile ebizwa ngokuthi “izinsuku zokugcina”.
• 1914 kwakungekona ukuba khona kukaKristu.
• Abantu abathembekile abaphila ngaphambi kukaKristu banethemba lasezulwini.

Ukuthola la maqiniso eBhayibheli kungafaniswa nalokho uJesu akuchaza emzekelisweni wakhe:

“Futhi umbuso wezulu ufana nomthengisi ofuna amaparele amahle. Lapho ethola iparele elilodwa lenani eliphakeme, wahamba wathengisa ngokushesha zonke izinto ayenazo walithenga. ( Mathewu 13:45, 46 )

Ngokudabukisayo, uRaymond Franz kuphela owathengisa zonke izinto ayenazo ukuze athenge lelo parele. Walahlekelwa isikhundla sakhe, iholo lakhe, nawo wonke umkhaya wakhe nabangane lapho esuswa ekuhlanganyeleni. Walahlekelwa isithunzi sakhe futhi wahlanjalazwa ukuphila kwakhe konke yibo bonke labo bantu abake bambheka futhi bemthanda njengomzalwane. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uFred, wakhetha ukulahla lelo parele ngokwenqaba iqiniso ukuze aqhubeke “efundisa imiyalo yabantu njengezimfundiso” zikaNkulunkulu ( Mathewu 15:9 ). Ngaleyo ndlela, wayegcina isikhundla sakhe, ukulondeka kwakhe, idumela lakhe nabangane bakhe.

Ngamunye waba nomzuzu obheke eDamaseku owashintsha unomphela isiqondiso sempilo yabo. Enye ibe ngcono futhi enye ibe yimbi. Singase sicabange ukuthi isikhathi somgwaqo oya eDamaseku sisebenza kuphela uma sithatha umgwaqo olungile, kodwa lokho akulona iqiniso. Singabeka uphawu lokudalelwa kwethu noNkulunkulu kube ngcono ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa futhi singabeka isiphetho sethu ngokubi kakhulu. Kungaba isikhathi lapho kungasekho mbuyiselo, kungabuyi.

Njengoba iBhayibheli lisifundisa, kungaba silandela uKristu, noma silandela abantu. Angisho ukuthi uma silandela amadoda manje alikho ithuba lokuthi sishintshe. Kodwa umzuzu wokuya eDamaseku ubhekisela kulelo phuzu esizolifinyelela sonke esikhathini esithile ekuphileni kwethu lapho ukukhetha esikwenzayo kungeke kuguquke. Hhayi ngoba uNkulunkulu ekwenza kube njalo, kodwa ngoba senza.

Yiqiniso, ukumelela iqiniso ngesibindi kunezindleko. UJesu wasitshela ukuthi siyoshushiswa ngenxa yokumlandela, kodwa izibusiso zaziyobudlula kude ubuhlungu balobo bunzima abaningi bethu abaye babhekana nabo.

Lokhu kuhlobana kanjani namadoda eNdikimba Ebusayo yamanje nawo wonke umuntu oyisekelayo?

Ingabe ubufakazi esibunikezwa cishe nsuku zonke, nge-Internet nasemithonjeni yezindaba, abulingani nje izinkandi? Ingabe ukhahlela ngokumelene nabo? Ngesinye isikhathi, ubufakazi buzokhuphuka bufike ezingeni lokuthi buzomelela umzuzu womuntu siqu obheke eDamaseku kuwo wonke amalungu eNhlangano aqotho eNdikimbeni Ebusayo esikhundleni sokuba kuKristu.

Kwenza kahle ngathi sonke ukulalela isixwayiso esivela kumbhali wamaHeberu:

Xwayani, bazalwane, funa kube khona Ukuthuthukisa kunoma yimuphi kini onenhliziyo embi abangenalo ukholo by edonsa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo; kodwa qhubekani nikhuthazana usuku ngalunye, uma nje kusathiwa “namuhla,” ukuze kungabikho noyedwa kini lukhuni ngamandla okukhohlisa esono. ( Hebheru 3:12, 13 )

Leli vesi likhuluma ngokuhlubuka kwangempela lapho umuntu eqala ngokukholwa, kodwa avumele umoya omubi ukuba uthuthuke. Lomoya ukhula ngoba ikholwa lisuka kuNkulunkulu ophilayo. Kwenzeka kanjani lokhu? Ngokulalela abantu nokubalalela esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, inhliziyo iba lukhuni. Lapho lo mbhalo ukhuluma ngamandla akhohlisayo esono, awukhulumi ngokuziphatha okubi kobulili nezinto ezinjalo. Khumbula ukuthi isono sokuqala sasingamanga abangela ukuba abantu bokuqala bahlubuke kuNkulunkulu, bethembisa amandla okufana noNkulunkulu. Kwakuyinkohliso enkulu leyo.

Ukukholwa akukona nje ukukholwa. Ukukholwa kuyaphila. Ukukholwa kungamandla. UJesu wathi “uma ninokholo olungangohlamvu lwesinaphi, niyothi kule ntaba: ‘Suka lapha uye laphaya,’ futhi iyosuka, futhi akukho lutho oluyobe lwenzeka kini. ( Mathewu 17:20 )

Kodwa lolo hlobo lokholo lufika ngezindleko. Kuyokubiza yonke into, njengoba kwenzeka kuRaymond Franz, njengoba kwenzeka kuSawulu waseTarsu, owaba umphostoli uPawulu odumile nothandwayo.

Ziyanda izinkandi ezishukumisa bonke oFakazi BakaJehova namuhla, kodwa abaningi bayabakhahlela. Ake ngikubonise inkandi yakamuva. Bengifuna ukukubonisa isiqeshana sevidiyo esilandelayo esithathwe esibuyekezweni sakamuva se-JW.org, “Buyekeza #2” eyethulwa nguMark Sanderson.

Kulabo abaseseNhlanganweni, ngicela niyibuke ukuze nibone ukuthi yini okufanele ngabe iyanicindezela ukuze nibone iqiniso lomqondo wangempela weNdikimba Ebusayo.

UKristu kwakhulunywa ngaye kanye, futhi ngisho nalokho kubhekisela kwakuwumnikelo wakhe kuphela njengomhlatshelo wesihlengo. Akwenzi lutho ukucacisela olalele ubunjalo beqiniso bendima kaJesu njengomholi wethu futhi ukuphela kwendlela, ngiyaphinda, futhi, ukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu. Kumelwe simlingise futhi simlalele, hhayi abantu.

Ngokusekelwe kuleyo vidiyo osanda kuyibona, ubani ocabanga ukukutshela ukuthi wenzeni? Ubani osebenza esikhundleni sikaJesu njengomholi woFakazi BakaJehova? Lalela lesi siqeshana esilandelayo lapho iNdikimba Ebusayo ize icabange ukuthi inamandla okuqondisa unembeza wakho owunikezwe uNkulunkulu.

Lokhu kusiletha ephuzwini elikhulu lengxoxo yethu namuhla okuwumbuzo wesihloko sale vidiyo: “Ngubani ozimisa ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, ezishaya uNkulunkulu na?

Sizoqala ngokufunda umbhalo sonke esiwubone kaningi ngoba iNhlangano ithanda ukuwusebenzisa kubo bonke abantu, kodwa hhayi kubo.

Makungabikho muntu oniyenga nganoma iyiphi indlela, ngoba ngeke kufike ngaphandle kokuba kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala futhi kwambulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhujiswa. Uyaphikisana futhi uziphakamisa phezu kwawo wonke umuntu obizwa ngokuthi “unkulunkulu” noma into ehlonishwayo, kangangokuthi uhlala phansi ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, ezibonisa obala ukuthi ungunkulunkulu. Anikhumbuli yini ukuthi, ngisenani, ngangivame ukunitshela lezi zinto? ( 2 Thesalonika 2:3-5 )

Asifuni ukwenza lokhu okungalungile, ngakho-ke ake siqale ngokuhlephula lesi siprofetho esingokomBhalo sibe yizici zaso ezibalulekile. Sizoqala ngokuveza ukuthi liyini ithempeli likaNkulunkulu okuhlezi kulo muntu ongenamthetho oyisihlubuki? Nansi impendulo evela ku-1 Korinte 3:16, 17:

“Anazi yini ukuthi nonke niyithempeli likaNkulunkulu kanyekanye nokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala kini na? UNkulunkulu uyobhubhisa noma ubani ochitha leli thempeli. Ngokuba ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lingcwele, nina niyilelo thempeli. (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 3:16, 17.)

“Nina ningamatshe aphilayo uNkulunkulu awakhayo ethempelini lakhe elingokomoya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nina ningabapristi bakhe abangcwele. Ngomlamuleli kaJesu Kristu, ninikela ngemihlatshelo engokomoya ejabulisa uNkulunkulu.” (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 2:5.)

Nakhoke! AmaKristu agcotshiwe, abantwana bakaNkulunkulu, bayithempeli likaNkulunkulu.

Manje, ubani othi ubusa phezu kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu, abantwana bakhe abagcotshiwe, ngokwenza njengonkulunkulu, into ehlonishwayo? Ubani obayala ukuba benze lokhu noma lokhuya futhi ubani obajezisa ngokungalaleli?

Akumele ngiphendule lokho. Ngamunye wethu uyacijwa, kodwa ingabe siyoqaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu usiqhubezela ukuba asivuse, noma siyoqhubeka sikhahlela izinkandi, simelana nothando lukaNkulunkulu olusiholela ekuphendukeni?

Ake ngibonise ukuthi lolu hlelo lokusebenza lusebenza kanjani. Ngizokufundela umbhalo futhi njengoba sidlula kuwo, uzibuze ukuthi ngabe lokhu kuyahambisana yini nalokhu obukubona kwenzeka muva nje.

“Kodwa kwakukhona nabaprofethi bamanga kwa-Israyeli, njengoba nje kuyoba khona abafundisi bamanga naphakathi kwenu. [Ubhekise kithi lapha.] Bayofundisa ngobuhlakani izimfundiso zamanga ezibhubhisayo futhi baphike ngisho noMbusi owabathengayo. [LeyoNkosi uJesu abamphikayo ngokuyibekela eceleni kuzo zonke izincwadi zabo, ama-video, nezinkulumo zabo, ukuze bazenzele yona esikhundleni sayo.] Ngale ndlela bayozilethela bona imbubhiso engazelelwe. Abaningi bayolandela imfundiso yabo embi [Baphuca umhlambi wabo ethembeni lasezulwini uJesu alinikeza thina sonke futhi bagweme ngokungenamahloni noma ubani ongavumelani nabo, ababhidliza imindeni futhi baqhubekisela abantu ekuzibulaleni.] nokuziphatha okubi okuyihlazo. [Ukungazimisele kwabo ukuvikela izisulu zabanukubezi bezingane ngokobulili.] Futhi ngenxa yalaba thisha, indlela yeqiniso iyonyundelwa. [Mfana, kunjalo nje kulezi zinsuku!] Ngobugovu babo bazokwakha amanga ahlakaniphile ukuze babambe imali yakho. [Kuhlale kunezaba ezintsha zokuthi kungani kudingeka bathengise ihholo lombuso ngaphandle kwakho, noma baphoqelele ibandla ngalinye ukuba lenze isibambiso sanyanga zonke.] Kodwa uNkulunkulu wabalahla kudala, futhi ukubhujiswa kwabo ngeke kubambezeleke.” (Funda eyesi-2 Petru 2:1-3.)

Leyo ngxenye yokugcina ibaluleke kakhulu ngoba ayigcini kuphela kulabo abaholayo ekusakazeni izimfundiso zamanga. Kuthinta wonke umuntu ozilandelayo. Cabangela ukuthi leli vesi elilandelayo lisebenza kanjani:

Ngaphandle kukhona izinja, nabasebenzisa imimoya, nezifebe, nababulali, nabakhonza izithombe, nabafebayo, nababulali; wonke umuntu othanda futhi aqambe amanga.' ( IsAmbulo 22:15 )

Uma silandela uNkulunkulu wamanga, uma silandela isihlubuki, khona-ke sithuthukisa umqambimanga. Lowo mqambimanga uzosidonsela phansi naye. Siyolahlekelwa umvuzo, umbuso kaNkulunkulu. Sizosala ngaphandle.

Sengiphetha, baningi abasakhahlela izinkandi, kodwa akukephuzi kakhulu ukuthi bayeke. Lesi yisikhathi sethu endleleni eya eDamaseku. Ingabe siyovumela inhliziyo embi ukuba yakheke kithi esintula ukholo? Noma ingabe sizovuma ukuthengisa konke ngeparele lenani elikhulu, umbuso kaKristu?

Asinaso isikhathi sokuphila esinganquma. Izinto zihamba ngokushesha manje. Azimile. Cabangela indlela amazwi kaPawulu ayisiprofetho asebenza ngayo kithi.

Yebo, bonke abathanda ukuphila ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu bayakuzingelwa, kepha abantu ababi nabakhohlisi baqhubeka besuka kokubi baye kokubi kakhulu, bekhohlisa, bedukiswa. ( 2 Thimothewu 3:12, 13 )

Siyabona ukuthi abakhohlisi ababi, labo abazenza umholi oyedwa phezu kwethu, uJesu ogcotshiweyo, beqhubeka besuka kokubi beya kokubi kakhulu, bezikhohlisa kokubili futhi bezikhohlisa bona ngokwabo. bayakuzingela bonke abathanda ukuhamba ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu.

Kodwa ungase ucabange, lokho konke kuhle futhi kuhle, kodwa siyaphi? Asiyidingi inhlangano esingaya kuyo? Lawa amanye amanga iNdikimba Ebusayo ezama ukuwathengisa ukuze igcine abantu bethembekile kuyo. Sizokubuka lokho kuvidiyo yethu elandelayo.

Okwamanje, uma ufuna ukubona ukuthi sinjani isifundo seBhayibheli phakathi kwamaKristu amahhala, sihlole kokuthi beroeanmeetings.info. Ngizoshiya leso sixhumanisi encazelweni yale vidiyo.

Siyabonga ngokuqhubeka nokuseseka ngokwezimali.
