I-antihistamine yomphefumulo

Okunye okwesabisa kakhulu empilweni yami kwakuwukunakekela ama-cockatiel abangani noma ama-budgies eminyakeni engu-34 edlule. Indodakazi yethu endala yayingakabi nonyaka ubudala ngaleso sikhathi. Noma ngabe bekuyiminyaka eminingi edlule, ngizwa sengathi bekuyizolo. Ngafika endlini yokuphumula futhi wayehlezi ejabule phansi nobuso obukhukhumele kangangokuthi wayebukeka njengesithombe esincane sikaBuddha. Baningi abantu abafaka izimpilo zabo engcupheni uma bedla ukudla okuthile noma behlatshwa yisilokazana. Abanye abantu bangagula kakhulu emzimbeni uma bedla ipizza noma bephuza ubisi lwenkomo. Abanye kufanele bagweme yonke imikhiqizo kakolweni, ngisho noma isinkwa siwukudla okuyisisekelo. Ukolweni ubulokhu ubalulekile empilweni yomuntu neyezilwane. Okubaluleke kakhulu eqinisweni ukuthi uJesu wazibiza ngokuthi isinkwa sokuphila. (Lesingathekiso sesinkwa siqondwa ngaso sonke isikhathi.) Noma kunjalo, lokhu kudla okuyisisekelo kungaba umthombo wosizi kwabanye abantu futhi kubeke ngisho nokuphila kwabo engozini. Nokho, kunezinto eziyingozi kakhulu zokungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile esingase singazazi.

Uyibonile yini indlela amanye amaKristu asabela ngayo ‘emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu’? Kubukeka sengathi imithambo yakhe yobuhlakani ibambekile, ingqondo yakhe ibambekile futhi yonke imicabango ibambezelekile. Isizathu salokhu kusabela ukuthi kumaKristu amaningi impilo kaJesu iphelela esiphambanweni. Okubi nakakhulu, babona isikhathi esiphakathi kokuzalwa nokufa kukaJesu njengokugcwaliseka okungokwesiko kwesivumelwano esidala nesikhathi somthetho. Kodwa ukubethelwa kukaJesu kwakungesona isiphetho, kodwa kwakuyisiqalo kuphela! Kwakuyinkathi yoshintsho emsebenzini wakhe. Kungakho ukucwiliswa kwethu ekufeni kukaJesu, the
sibhekana nobhapathizo, hhayi ukuphela kwethu, kodwa inguquko empilweni yethu! Abanye abaholi abangamaKrestu kanye nothisha bayibonile inkinga yokuthi abantu abaningi, njengemoto esodakeni, bayama ekusindisweni kwabo futhi izimpilo zabo azikwazi ukuqhubeka ngokholo. Ulandela eminye imibono yokuphakamisa izinwele ngokuthi impilo noKristu kufanele ibe njani. Le mpilo yehliselwa ekukhonzeni ngomculo wevangeli nokufunda izincwadi zobuKristu. Ekupheleni kokuphila kwabo - bacabanga ukuthi - bazokuya ezulwini, kepha abazi ukuthi bazokwenzani lapho. Ngicela ungangizwa kabi: Anginalutho olumelene nomculo we-gospel, ukufunda izincwadi zobuKristu, noma ukukhonza nokudumisa kukonke. Kepha ukusindiswa akusikona ukuphela kwethu, kodwa kuyisiqalo nje - ngisho nakuNkulunkulu. Yebo, kungukuqala kwempilo entsha kithina nakuNkulunkulu kuyisiqalo sobudlelwano obusha nathi!

UThomas F. Torrance wayenentshiseko enkulu yokuthola ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani. Lokhu cishe kwakubangelwa isithakazelo sakhe kwisayensi kanye nokwazisa kwakhe kakhulu obaba bethu abasungula. Ekufuneni kwakhe wathola ithonya lobuqaba bamaGreki obukabili ezimfundisweni zeBandla nasekuqondeni kwethu uNkulunkulu. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu kanye nesenzo sikaNkulunkulu akuhlukaniseki. Njengokukhanya, okuyizinhlayiyana namagagasi ngesikhathi esisodwa, uNkulunkulu uyisidalwa esinezingxenye ezintathu. Njalo uma sibiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi “wena” sifakaza ngobunjalo bakhe futhi njalo uma sithi uNkulunkulu uluthando sifakaza ngezenzo zakhe.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi isayensi yemvelo ifakazele ukuthi ukukhanya okumhlophe okumsulwa kudalwe kusukela ekuhlanganisweni okuphelele kokukhanya okumsulwa okubomvu, okuluhlaza okumsulwa kanye nokukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Laba abathathu bahlangene ekukhanyeni okumhlophe. Ngisho nangaphezulu: isayensi iphinde yathola futhi yafakazela ukuthi ijubane lokukhanya liyinto ehlala njalo enokwethenjelwa endaweni yonke. Umsebenzi wempilo ka-Athanasius, ubaba wesonto wase- 4. Ikhulu leminyaka, lafinyelela umvuthwandaba ngoMkhandlu waseNicaea kanye nokwakhiwa kwe-Nicene Knowledge of Faith. U-Athanasius wamelana nemfundiso ebusayo ye-Arianism, umqondo wokuthi uJesu uyisidalwa esingeyena uNkulunkulu ngaso sonke isikhathi. I-Nicaea Creed iseyisivumokholo esiyisisekelo nesihlanganisayo ebuKristwini kule minyaka eyi-1700 edlule.

Izivumelwano nezivumelwano

Ukulandela umfowabo uThomas, uJames B. Torrance wabelane ngokuqonda kwethu ngezivumelwano ngenkathi enza umehluko phakathi kwesivumelwano nomfelandawonye. Ngeshwa, ukuhunyushwa kweLatin kweBhayibheli, okwaba nomthelela omkhulu ekufundiseni kweSonto kunakuhumusha kweKing James Bible, kwakha inkinga ngale ndaba lapho lisebenzisa igama lesiLatini elisho inkontileka. Inkontileka inemibandela ethile kanti inkontileka igcwaliseka kuphela uma zonke izimo sezigcwalisiwe.

Nokho, isivumelwano asikho ngaphansi kwanoma yimiphi imibandela ethile. Nokho, unezibopho ezithile. Wonke umuntu oshadayo uyazi ukuthi impilo ayisafani sebeshadile. Ukubamba iqhaza nokubamba iqhaza kuyizinsika zesivumelwano. Inkontileka ingaqukatha ukuthathwa kwesinqumo nokusetshenziswa kuphela, kodwa isivumelwano sidinga ukuzibophezela okuvela kuzo zombili izinhlangothi ukuze sifezeke. Kunjalo nangesivumelwano esisha esenziwa ngegazi likaJesu. Uma sifa kanye naye, siyovuswa kanye naye njengomuntu omusha. Ngaphezu kwalokho: Laba bantu abasha bakhuphukela ezulwini noJesu futhi babekwa esihlalweni sobukhosi kanye naye ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu (Efesu 2,6; AbaseKolose 3,1). Kungani? Ukuze sizuze? Cha akulona iqiniso. Inzuzo kulowo nalowo kithi ixhomeke ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lokuhlanganisa yonke indalo naye. (Lokhu kungase kubangele okunye ukungezwani komzimba. Ingabe ngiphakamisa ukuthi i-universalism? Cha, akunjalo. Kodwa leyo indaba yesinye isikhathi.) Akukho esingakwenza ukuze silethe uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngomusa wensindiso Kuyavezwa ukuthi ukuhlengwa akukona isiphetho kodwa isiqalo. UPawulu uyakugcizelela lokhu kwabase-Efesu, phakathi kwezinye izindawo 2,8-10. Konke esakwenza ngaphambi kokusindiswa kwethu, ngokuqaphela noma ngokungazi, kwenza isidingo somusa ongasifanele kaNkulunkulu saba semqoka. Kodwa uma sesamukele lomusa futhi sesiyingxenye yokuzalwa kukaJesu, impilo, ukuhlushwa nokufa kwakhe esiphambanweni, sibe yingxenye yokuvuka kwakhe, impilo entsha kanye naye.

Ukuqondiswa ngumoya

Manje ngeke sisakwazi ukuma nje sibukele. UMoya usishukumisela ukuba sihlanganyele emsebenzini kaJesu wokufeza “umsebenzi” Wakhe esintwini. Kuwubufakazi obuphilayo bokuthatha isimo somuntu - uNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu kuJesu - ukuthi uNkulunkulu akagcini ngokusimema, kodwa ufisa ngobuqotho ukuthi sisebenze naye emhlabeni. Ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kungaba umsebenzi onzima kakhulu futhi akukubandakanyi ngisho nokushushiswa isikhathi eside nokuhlukumeza abantu namaqembu. I-Allergies ibangelwa lapho umzimba ungasazi ukuthi yini enhle neyamukelekayo neyingozi ngakho kudingeka kuliwe nayo.

Ngenhlanhla, ukuphulukiswa kungashesha futhi kusebenze. Angikhumbuli ukuthi yini ngempela esayenza lapho indodakazi yami ibukeka njengebhaluni lomoya. Noma ngabe bekuyini, kumsizile ukuthi alulame ngokushesha futhi
ayinayo imiphumela emibi. Kwakuthakazelisa ukuthi angaboni nokuthi kwenzekani kuye. IBhayibheli liyasiqinisekisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu weqiniso uxhumeke ngokujulile ezimpilweni zethu noma singazi. Uma evumela ukukhanya kwakhe okumsulwa, okumhlophe kukhanye empilweni yethu, khona-ke konke kuguquka ngokuzumayo futhi ngeke sisafana nakudala.

Isivumo sokholo saseNicaea

Sikholelwa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa, uYise, uSomandla, owadala konke, izulu nomhlaba, okubonakalayo nokungabonakali komhlaba. Sikholelwa eNkosini eyodwa uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa, ezelwe nguYise ngaphambi kwesikhathi: uNkulunkulu ovela kuNkulunkulu, ukukhanya okuvela ekukhanyeni, uNkulunkulu weqiniso ovela kuNkulunkulu weqiniso, ozelwe, ongenziwanga, womuntu munye noYise; ngayo yonke into yadalwa. Kithina bantu nangenxa yokusindiswa kwethu wavela ezulwini, waba yinyama ngoMoya oNgcwele kuMariya uMariya waba yindoda. Wabethelwa esiphambanweni ngenxa kaPontiyu Pilatu, wahlupheka wangcwatshwa, wavuka ngosuku lwesithathu njengokwemibhalo futhi wenyukela ezulwini. Uhlala ngakwesokunene sikaBaba futhi uzobuya futhi ngenkazimulo ezokwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo; ngeke kuphele ukubusa kwakhe. Siyakholelwa kuMoya oNgcwele, oyiNkosi futhi onikeza impilo, ovela kuYise naseNdodaneni, okhulekelwayo futhi akhazinyuliswe kanye noYise neNdodana, owakhuluma ngabaprofethi kanye nelilodwa, elingcwele, ikhatholika1 neBandla labaphostoli . Sivuma ubhapathizo olulodwa lokuthethelelwa kwezono. Silindele ukuvuka kwabafileyo nokuphila komhlaba okuzayo.
