Ukuhlushwa kwaphakade esihogweni - impindiselo yaphezulu noma yomuntu?

Isihogo yisihloko amakholwa amaningi ajabula ngaso, kepha naso esibakhathazayo. Okuhambisana nakho kungenye yezimfundiso eziphikisanayo neziphikisanayo zokholo lobuKristu. Impikiswano ayikho maqondana nokuqiniseka ukuthi ukonakala nobubi kuzokwahlulelwa. Iningi lamaKrestu liyavuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzokwahlulela okubi. Impikiswano ngeSihogo imayelana nokuthi izobukeka kanjani, amazinga okushisa azoba lapho nokuthi uzovezwa isikhathi esingakanani kuso. Impikiswano imayelana nokuqonda kanye nokudlulisa ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu - futhi abantu bathanda ukudlulisela incazelo yabo yesikhathi nendawo phakade.

Kepha akukho eBhayibhelini ukusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu udinga umbono wethu onamaphutha ukuze awusebenzise emfanekisweni waKhe ophelele waphakade. Ngenkathi iBhayibheli lisho okuncane ngokumangazayo ngokuthi isihogo siyoba njani, kuyaqabukela kuba nekhanda elipholile uma kukhulunywa ngamaqiniso aphathekayo. Lapho kuxoxwa ngemibono, ngokwesibonelo sokuqina kokuhlupheka esihogweni - ukuthi kuzoshisa kangakanani nokuthi ukuhlupheka kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani - kukhulunywa ngayo, abaningi banomfutho wegazi ophakeme futhi ukugcwala kugcwala igumbi.

Amanye amaKrestu akholelwa ekutheni lokho ukukholwa kweqiniso kunqunywa esihogweni. Abanye bazikhombisa bengaxegi uma kukhulunywa ngokushaqeka okukhulu okungavela. Noma imuphi umbono ophambukayo kulokhu uthathwa njengolwela inkululeko, onenqubekela phambili, onobutha okholweni futhi othambekele ekubeni ongenangqondo futhi, ngokungafani nenkolelo eqhubeka nokubambelela ezonweni ezinikelwa ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu othukuthele, kuthiwa yenziwa ngabantu abayiziphukuphuku . Kweminye imibuthano yenkolo umuntu ubona ngokukholelwa ukuthi isihogo sibangela ukuhlushwa okungachazeki, cishe isivivinyo somlilo sobuKristu beqiniso.

Kukhona amaKrestu akholelwa ekwahlulelweni okuvela kuNkulunkulu kepha angaqinisi kangako ngemininingwane. Nami ngingomunye wabo. Ngiyakholelwa ekwahlulelweni okungcwele lapho isihogo simele ibanga laphakade kuNkulunkulu; kodwa-ke, angikukho okuqinile ngokuqondene nemininingwane. Futhi ngikholelwa ukuthi isidingo esidingekayo sobuhlungu baphakade njengesenzo esivumelekile sokwanelisa uNkulunkulu othukuthele sime siphikisana ngokuphelele noNkulunkulu onothando njengoba kuvezwe eBhayibhelini.

Angibaza ngesithombe sesihogo esichazwa ubulungisa obuyisinxephezelo—inkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu ubangela ukuhlupheka izoni ngoba bezifanele. Futhi ngiyawenqaba ngokuphelele umqondo wokuthi ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lungadanjiswa ngokugazinga kancane abantu (noma okungenani imiphefumulo yabo) ngamathe. Ubulungiswa bokubuyisela abuyona ingxenye yomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu njengoba ngiwazi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngikholelwa ngokuqinile ukuthi ubufakazi beBhayibheli bufundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyokwahlulela ububi; ngaphezu kwalokho, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngeke alungiselele abantu ukuhlushwa kwaphakade ngokubajezisa okungapheli ngokomzimba, ngokwengqondo nangokomoya.

Ingabe sivikela owethu umqondo wesihogo?

Izindima zeBhayibheli ezikhuluma ngesihogo ngokungangabazeki zingachazwa futhi zizohunyushwa ngezindlela eziningi. Lezi zincazelo eziphikisanayo zingalandelwa emuva emthwalweni wezenkolo nongokomoya wezazi zeBhayibheli - ngokwesiqubulo esithi: Ngikubona ngale ndlela futhi wena ubona ngenye indlela. Imithwalo yethu ingasisiza ukuba sifinyelele eziphethweni eziqinile zenkolo noma ingasiphoqa futhi isiholele kude neqiniso.

Umbono wesihogo ekugcineni omelwe yizazi zeBhayibheli, abefundisi nabafundisi bemiBhalo Engcwele, kubonakala sengathi, ngaphandle kokuyekethisa lokho abaqala ngakho uqobo kusukela ekuqaleni futhi abafuna ukukuqinisa eBhayibhelini.

Ngakho-ke, yize kufanele sibheke ebufakazini beBhayibheli uqobo ngomqondo ovulekile, uma kukhulunywa ngesihogo kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi kuvame ukusetshenziselwa ukumane ubone izinkolelo zangaphambili eziqinisekisiwe kulo. U-Albert Einstein uxwayise: Kufanele sifune ukubona okungokoqobo hhayi lokho esifuna ukukubona.

AmaKrestu amaningi azichaza njengabantu abagcina imicikilisho ekholelwa ekutheni igunya leBhayibheli ngokwalo lisengcupheni kulokhu kulwela isihogo. Ngokombono wabo, isihogo esingokoqobo sokuhlushwa kwaphakade esihambisana nezinga leBhayibheli. Umfanekiso wesihogo abasikhuthazayo yilokho abakufundisiwe. Kungumfanekiso wesihogo ongase uwudinge ukugcina isimo sakho sombono wakho wezenkolo. Abanye bakholelwa ngokunemba nangesidingo sesithombe sabo senkolo sesihogo kangangokuba bamane benqaba ukwamukela noma yibuphi ubufakazi noma ukuphikisa okunengqondo okungabaza umbono wabo.

Kumaqembu amaningi enkolo, umfanekiso ongapheli wokuhlushwa kwaphakade umele induku enkulu, esongelayo.Yithuluzi lokuyala abasongela ngalo imihlambi yabo futhi babaqondise ohlangothini abalubona lulungile. Ngenkathi isihogo, njengoba sibukwa ngamakholwa acwase ngokweqile, kungaba yisiyalo esiphoqayo sokugcina izimvu zisendleleni, asifanele neze ukusondeza abantu kuNkulunkulu. Ngemuva kwakho konke, labo abajoyina la maqembu ngoba bengafuni ukuwa eceleni kwendlela abadonswa kulolu hlobo lwekamu lokuqeqeshelwa inkolo ngenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu olungenakuqhathaniswa, oluhlanganisa konke.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunamaKristu akholelwa ukuthi isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu sobubi sifana nokulungiswa kabusha kwe-microwave okusheshayo, okuphumelelayo, nokungenabuhlungu uma kuqhathaniswa. Babona amandla nokushisa okukhishwa ukuhlanganiswa kwezikhali zenuzi njengokufanekisela ukushiswa kwesidumbu okungenabuhlungu ngokungangabazeki uNkulunkulu ayokusebenzisa ukuze ajezise ububi. Ngezinye izikhathi kuthiwa ababhubhisi, la maKristu abonakala ebona uNkulunkulu njengoDkt. Wethula uKevorkian (udokotela waseMelika owasiza iziguli ezingu-130 ekuzibulaleni kwazo) enikeza umjovo obulalayo (ophumela ekufeni okungenabuhlungu) ezoni ezilahlwe esihogweni.

Yize ngingakholelwa esihogweni sokuhlushwa phakade, nami angibahlanganyeli nabameli bokubhujiswa. Alikho iphuzu lokubuka elingena kubo bonke ubufakazi beBhayibheli futhi, ngokombono wami, abenzi ubulungiswa ngokuphelele kuBaba wethu waseZulwini, obonakala kakhulu ngothando.

Isihogo njengoba ngibona sifana nebanga laphakade elivela kuNkulunkulu, kepha ngikholelwa ukuthi amandla ethu omzimba, ukukhawulwa kwethu ngokomqondo nangolimi, akusivumeli ukuthi sinqume ngokunembile ubukhulu besahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu. Angikwazi ukuphetha ngokuthi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu kuzokwakhiwa umcabango wokujezisa, noma kuhambisane nobuhlungu nokuhlupheka okonakaliswe yibo kwabanye empilweni yabo; ngoba anginabo ubufakazi obanele beBhayibheli bokusekela umbono onjalo. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, noma kunjalo, isimo sikaNkulunkulu siphikisana nomfanekiso wesihogo, esibonakala ngokuhlushwa kwaphakade, sobumnene.

Ukuqagela: isihogo siyoba njani?

Ngomqondo ongokoqobo, isihogo esimakwe ngokuhlushwa kwaphakade kufanele saziwe njengendawo yokuhlupheka okukhulu, lapho ukushisa, umlilo nomusi kugqame khona. Lombono ucabanga ukuthi imibono yethu yezinzwa ngomlilo nokubhujiswa, engaphansi kwamazinga abantu, ingomunye olinganiswa nokuhlushwa kwaphakade.

Kodwa ingabe isihogo siyindawo ngempela? Ngabe isivele ikhona manje noma izofakwa kuphela esikhathini esizayo? UDante Alighieri uveze ukuthi isihogo sasiyisigaxa esikhulu esibheke ngaphakathi, ichopho laso lahlaba maphakathi nomhlaba ngokunembile. Yize izindima zeBhayibheli ezihambisanayo zinikeza izindawo eziningana zasemhlabeni esihogweni, kubhekiswa nakulabo abangewona abasemhlabeni.

Enye yezimpikiswano ezinengqondo ngezulu nesihogo iwukuthi ukuba khona okungokoqobo kokunye kwenza kudingeke ukuba enye ibe khona. AmaKristu amaningi ayixazulule le nkinga enengqondo ngokulinganisa izulu nokuba seduze noNkulunkulu kwaphakade, kuyilapho ethi ibanga eliphakade elisuka kuNkulunkulu liya esihogweni. Kodwa abasekeli bangempela besithombe sesihogo abajabuli nhlobo ngalokho abakubiza ngokuthi ama- subterfuges. Baphikelela ngokuthi izinkulumo ezinjalo zimane nje zilulaza izifiso zemfundiso yenkolo. Kodwa isihogo singaba kanjani indawo ekhona ngokusobala, etholakala ngokwezwe, nendawo engaguquki (kungaba kudala namanje phakade esivalile noma njengesihogo esinamalahle okuphindisela angakakhazimuli) lapho ubuhlungu obungokomzimba bokuhlushwa phakade isihogo asikwazi ukuzwakala - imiphefumulo yomzimba kufanele ibekezelelwe?

Abanye abasekeli bokholo lwangempela bacabanga ukuthi lapho labo abangalifanele iZulu befika esihogweni, uNkulunkulu uzobembathisa amasudi akhethekile ahlome ngokuphelele ngama-receptor receptors. Lo mqondo - umusa othembisa uNkulunkulu uzofaka imiphefumulo ebekiwe esihogweni ibe yisudi ebenza bazwe ubuhlungu baphakade - yethulwa ngabantu abangenangqondo ababukeka bekhungathekile ngokuzinikela kwabo okuqotho. Ngokwamanye ala makholwa angokoqobo, kuyindaba yokushweleza kolaka lukaNkulunkulu; Ngakho-ke imiphefumulo ethunyelwe esihogweni inikezwa isudi nguNkulunkulu elenzelwe yona hhayi leyo evela ezinqoleni ezinonya zamathuluzi okuhlukumeza uSathane.

Ukuhlushwa kwaphakade - ukwaneliseka kukaNkulunkulu noma kunalokho ngathi?

Uma isithombe esinjalo sesihogo, esibonakala ngokuhlushwa kwaphakade, sesingaba nomphumela oshaqisayo uma siqhathaniswa noNkulunkulu wothando, thina njengabantu singathola okuthile emfundisweni enjalo. Ngokombono womuntu kuphela, asidonselwa emcabangweni wokuthi umuntu angenza okuthile okubi ngaphandle kokubekwa icala ngakho. Sifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isijeziso esilungile sikaNkulunkulu asivumeli noma ngubani ukuthi angajeziswa. Abanye bakhuluma kulo mongo wokushweleza kolaka lukaNkulunkulu, kepha lo mqondo wobulungisa wobuqiniso empeleni wumqondo omusha womuntu owenza ubulungiswa ekuqondeni kwethu kobuntu ukulunga. Akufanele, nokho, sidlulisele umbono wethu wokudlala ngokufanelekile kuNkulunkulu sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzofuna ukuthokozisa ngendlela efanayo nathi.

Uyakhumbula ngenkathi useyingane encane awuzikhandlanga ekuboniseni ububi babantwana bakini kubazali bakho? Ubuzondile ukubona izingane zakini zingaphunyuki nganoma yini, ikakhulukazi uma ngabe ubusuvele ujezisiwe ngecala elifanayo. Kwakubalulekile ukuhambisana nomqondo wakho wobulungiswa obuyisinxephezelo. Mhlawumbe uyayazi indaba yekholwa elala ebusuku ngoba, liqinisekile ukuthi othile endaweni ethile ubalekele isinyathelo esingalungile, akakwazanga ukulala.

Ukuhlushwa kwaphakade esihogweni kungaba nomthelela oduduzayo kithina ngoba kufana nesifiso somuntu sobulungiswa nokudlala okulungile. Kepha iBhayibheli lisifundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenza empilweni yomuntu ngomusa hhayi izincazelo zomuntu zokudlala ngokulingana. Futhi imiBhalo ikwenza kucace ngokusobala ukuthi thina bantu asihlali sibubona ubukhulu bomusa omangalisayo kaNkulunkulu. Kukhona umugqa omuhle kuphela phakathi kokuthi ngizobona ukuthi uthola lokho okukufanele futhi uNkulunkulu uzoqinisekisa ukuthi uthola lokho okukufaneleyo. iso, Lathola izinyo ngezinyo, kepha imibono yethu isemi.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi singalandela ngokuzinikela kangakanani isazi sezenkolo noma imfundiso yenkolo ehlelekile edambisa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu, iqiniso lihlala liwukuthi indlela uNkulunkulu asebenzelana ngayo nabamelene nayo (abakhe neyethu) ingekaNkulunkulu kuphela. UPawulu uyasikhumbuza: “Bathandekayo, ningaziphindiseli kini, kodwa vumelani ulaka lukaNkulunkulu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ngeyami impindiselo, ngiyakubuyisela mina, isho iNkosi.” (Rom2,19).

Izithombe eziningi ezicasulayo, ezipholisayo, nezinemininingwane eqinisa amathambo zesihogo engizwile futhi ngafunda ngazo zivela emithonjeni yezenkolo nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana ezisebenzisa ngokucacile ulimi olufanayo kwezinye izimo zingayigxeka njengengalungile futhi enobuqaba, ebonisa inkanuko yomuntu yokuchitha igazi. nobudlova bukhuluma izwi. Kodwa isifiso esivuthayo sokujezisa kukaNkulunkulu esilungile sikhulu kangangokuthi, lapho singekho isisekelo seBhayibheli esizinikezele, ubulungisa obuqhutshwa umuntu buzuza amandla aphezulu. Izixuku ezingokwenkolo, eziphikelela ngokuthi ukuhlushwa kwaphakade ezikusakazayo zikhonza uNkulunkulu, zigcwele ingxenye enkulu yeLobukholwa (cf. Johane 1;6,2).

Kuyihlelo lenkolo ukugcizelela ukuthi labo abasilela esimisweni sokholo lapha emhlabeni kumelwe bahlawule phakade ukwehluleka kwabo. Ngokusho kwamaKristu amaningi, isihogo sizoqhubeka futhi sigcinelwe abangasindisiwe. awusindisiwe? Obani ngempela abangasindisiwe? Emibuthanweni eminingi yokholo, abangasindisiwe yilabo abahamba ngaphandle kwemingcele yabo yokholo ethile. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi amanye ala maqembu, nabanye babafundisi bawo, bayavuma ukuthi phakathi kwalabo abasindisiwe (ezinhluphekweni zaphakade zolaka lwaphezulu) kungase kube nabangebona abenhlangano yabo. Nokho, umuntu angacabanga ukuthi cishe zonke izinkolo ezisakaza isithombe sesihogo esibonakala ngokuhlushwa phakade zinombono wokuthi insindiso yaphakade ifinyelelwa kangcono ngokungena ngaphakathi kwemingcele yamahlelo azo.

Ngiyawenqaba umbono onenkani, onenhliziyo elukhuni okhonza unkulunkulu wolaka, olahla bonke labo abangaphandle kwezinkolelo eziqinile. Imfundiso yokholo egcizelela ukulahlwa kwaphakade ingabonakala kuphela njengendlela yokuthethelela umqondo wobulungiswa womuntu. Ngakho-ke, sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufana nathi, singazizwa siqashelwe njengabahambeli abanikeza uhambo ngaphandle kokubuyela ephakadeni eliphawulwe ngokuhlushwa - futhi banikeze indawo yabo efanele esihogweni kulabo abaphula amasiko nezimfundiso zethu zenkolo.

Ngabe umusa uzokucima umlilo wesihogo waphakade?

Enye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu futhi ngasikhathi sinye esekelwa ukuphikisa kweVangeli ezithombeni ezesabekayo kunazo zonke zesihogo sokuhlushwa kwaphakade ingatholakala kusitatimende esiyinhloko se-Good News. Le nkolelo esekwe emthethweni ichaza amathikithi amahhala asesihogweni anikezwa abantu ngokuya ngemisebenzi abayenzile. Kodwa-ke, ukukhathazeka kakhulu ngendaba yesihogo kuholela ekutheni abantu bazinakekele ngokweqile. Impela singafuna ukuhola izimpilo zethu ngendlela yokuthi singayi esihogweni ngokuzama ukuphila ngokuvumelana nezinhlu ezenziwa ngokungafanele. Ngokwenza njalo, nakanjani asikuphuthelwa iqiniso lokuthi abanye bangase bangazami kanzima njengathi - ngakho-ke, ukuze sikwazi ukulala kahle ebusuku, sizimisele ngokuzithandela ukusiza uNkulunkulu anikeze abanye indawo esihogweni kumakwe ngokuhlushwa kwaphakade okufanele kugcinwe.
 
Encwadini yakhe ethi The Great Divorce, u-CS Lewis usihambisa ngohambo lwebhasi lwemimoya eyasuka esiHogweni iya eZulwini ngethemba lokuhlala unomphela.

Uhlangana nabakhokheli bezulu, uLewis ababiza ngokuthi abahlengiwe ingunaphakade. Umoya omkhulu umangele ukuthola umuntu lapha ezulwini owaziyo ukuthi ubekwe icala lokubulala futhi wabulawa emhlabeni.

Umoya uyabuza: Engingathanda ukukwazi yilokho wena njengombulali onegazi okwenzayo lapha ezulwini, kuyilapho kufanele ngiye kolunye uhlangothi ngichithe yonke le minyaka endaweni efana nesibaya sezingulube.

Abahlengiwe unomphela manje sebezama ukuchaza ukuthi bobabili lowo owabulawa naye uqobo wazibona sebebuyisene noBaba osezulwini phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu.

Kepha ingqondo ayikwazi ukwamukela le ncazelo. Iphikisana nomuzwa wakhe wobulungiswa. Ukungabi nabulungisa kokwazi lowo ohlengiwe kuze kube nini ezulwini ngenkathi yena uqobo egwetshwa ukuhlala ezinikele esihogweni kuyamehlula ngokusemthethweni.

Ngakho-ke umemeza abahlengiwe unomphela futhi afune amalungelo akhe ngokumelene naye: Ngifuna amalungelo ami nje ... nginamalungelo afanayo nawe, angithi?

Yilapho uLewis afuna ukusihola khona. Wenza impendulo ehlengiwe phakade: Angizange ngikuthole okwakungifanele, ngaphandle kwalokho ngabe angikho lapha. Futhi nawe ngeke ukuthole okukufanele. Uthola Okuthile Okungcono Kakhulu (The Great Divorce, CS Lewis, Harper Collins, San Francisco, pp. 26, 28).

Ubufakazi BeBhayibheli - Ingabe Bungokoqobo Noma Buyingathekiso?

Abasekeli besithombe sesihogo esingeke sibe sibi kakhulu noma esihlala njalo kufanele bathembele encazelweni engokoqobo yayo yonke imiBhalo ephathelene nesihogo. kweyoku-14. Ekhulwini le, uDante Alighieri, encwadini yakhe ethi The Divine Comedy, wayecabanga ukuthi isihogo siyindawo esabekayo nokuhlushwa ngendlela engenakucatshangwa. Isihogo sikaDante sasiyindawo yokuhlushwa okudabukisayo lapho ababi babezobhuquza khona ngobuhlungu obungapheli futhi bashise igazi njengoba ukukhala kwabo kunanela phakade.

Abanye boFata beSonto bokuqala baphakamisa ukuthi abahlengiweyo ezulwini bangabona ngesikhathi sangempela ukuhlukunyezwa kwalabo abalahliwe. Ngokulandela isitayela esifanayo, ababhali kanye nothisha bangaleso sikhathi bathi uSomandla ukhona esihogweni ukuze azi ngokwengeziwe ukuthi ukwahlulela kwakhe uNkulunkulu kuyenziwa. Abanye abalandeli benkolo yobuKrestu empeleni bafundisa ukuthi labo abasezulwini ngeke baphazanyiswe nakancane ukwazi amalungu omndeni nabanye abantu esibathandayo esihogweni, kodwa ukuthi injabulo yabo yaphakade ingaqinisekiswa iqiniso lokuthi manje sebenokuqiniseka ngokukaNkulunkulu okuphezulu konke ukulunga, kukhulisiwe nokukhathalela kwabo abantu abake bathandwa emhlabeni, manje okumele babekezelele ukuhlushwa kwaphakade, kuzovela njengokungenanjongo.

Lapho ukholo lweBhayibheli olungokoqobo (luhambisana nomuzwa osontekile wobulungisa) luphakama ngendlela eyingozi, imicabango engenangqondo iqala ukubusa ngokushesha. Angikwazi ukucabanga ukuthi labo abangena embusweni Wakhe wezulu ngomusa kaNkulunkulu bangajabula kanjani ngokuhlushwa abanye - ingasaphathwa eyothando! Kunalokho, ngikholelwa kuNkulunkulu ongayeki ukusithanda. Ngikholwa futhi ukuthi kunezincazelo eziningi ezifanekisayo nezingathekiso ezisetshenziswe eBhayibhelini okufanele, eziphefumulelwe uNkulunkulu, nazo ziqondwe ngabantu ngomoya Wakhe. Futhi uNkulunkulu akazange aphefumulele ukusetshenziswa kwezingathekiso namagama asankondlo ngethemba lokuthi siyosonta incazelo yawo ngokuwathatha njengoba enjalo.
