isihogo
Isihogo siwukuhlukaniswa nokuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu okukhethwe izoni ezingalungiseki. ETestamenteni Elisha, isihogo kukhulunywa ngaso ngokomfanekiso “njengechibi lomlilo,” “ubumnyama,” kanye neGehena (ngemva kweSigodi sikaHinomu eduze neJerusalema, indawo eshiswa ukungcola). Isihogo sichazwa njengesijeziso, ukuhlupheka, ukuhlushwa, incithakalo yaphakade, ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo. I-Scheol neHayidesi, amagama amabili avela ezilimini zokuqala zeBhayibheli avame ukuhunyushwa ngokuthi “isihogo” nelithi “ithuna,” ngokuvamile abhekisela endaweni yabafileyo. IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi izoni ezingaphenduki ziyobhekana nokufa kwesibili echibini lomlilo, kodwa alikwenzi kucace ngokuphelele ukuthi lokhu kusho ukubhujiswa noma ukuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu okuqaphelayo. (2. Thesalonika 1,8-9; Mathewu 10,28; I-25,41.46; IsAmbulo 20,14:15-2; 1,8; Mathewu 13,42; IHubo 49,14-15)
isihogo
“Uma isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, sinqume, usilahle; Kungcono kuwe ukuba kubhubhe sibe sinye esithweni sakho, nokuba umzimba wakho wonke ungangeni esihogweni.” ( Mathewu 5,30). Isihogo siyinto ebucayi kakhulu. Kumelwe sisithathe ngokungathi sína isixwayiso sikaJesu.
Indlela yethu
Isivumokholo sethu sichaza isiHogo ngokuthi "Ukuhlukaniswa kanye nokwehlukaniswa noNkulunkulu okukhethwe izoni ezingalungiseki." Asisho ukuthi lokhu kuhlukaniswa nokuhlukaniswa kusho ukuhlupheka okuphakade noma ukuqedwa ngokuphelele kokwazi. Ngempela, sithi iBhayibheli alikucacisi lokhu ngokuphelele.
Uma kukhulunywa ngesihogo, njengezinye izindaba eziningi, kufanele silalele uJesu. Uma sithatha uJesu ngokungathí sina, lapho efundisa ngomusa nesihe, kufanele simthathe ngokungathi sína lapho ekhuluma ngesijeziso. Ngemuva kwakho konke, isihe asisho lukhulu ngaphandle kokuthi kukhona esikusindisile.
Izexwayiso ngomlilo
Emfanekisweni othile, uJesu waxwayisa ngokuthi ababi babeyophonswa esithandweni somlilo3,50). Kulomfanekiso wayengakhulumi ngokushiswa kwesidumbu, kodwa wayekhuluma “ngokukhala nokugedla amazinyo. Komunye umfanekiso, uJesu uchaza isijeziso senceku ethethelelwe engazange ithethelele isisebenzi esikanye nayo “njengesijeziso” ( Mathewu 18,34). Omunye umfanekiso uchaza indoda embi eboshwa futhi iphonswa “ebumnyameni” ( Mathewu 22,13). Lobu bumnyama buchazwa njengendawo yokukhala nokugedla kwamazinyo.
UJesu akachazi ukuthi abantu ebumnyameni bahlupheka ngenxa yobuhlungu noma usizi, futhi akachazi ukuthi bagedla amazinyo abo ngokuphenduka noma ngentukuthelo. Akuyona inhloso leyo. Eqinisweni, akalokothi achaze kabanzi isiphetho sababi.
Nokho, uJesu uxwayisa abantu ngendlela ecacile ukuba bangabambeleli kunoma yini eyophumela ekubeni baphonswe emlilweni waphakade. “Kepha uma isandla sakho noma unyawo lwakho kukukhubekisa, kunqume, ukulahle,” kuxwayisa uJesu. “Kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulunyonga noma ukhubazekile kunokuba uphonswe emlilweni ophakade unezandla zombili noma izinyawo ezimbili” (Mathewu 1)8,7-8). Kungcono ukuziphika kulokhu kuphila kunokuba “uphonswe emlilweni wesihogo” (ivesi 9).
Ukujeziswa kwababi kuhlala kuze kube phakade na? IBhayibheli lingahunyushwa ngezindlela eziningana kuleli phuzu. Amanye amavesi akhombisa ukujeziswa okuphakade kanti amanye akhombisa isikhathi esilinganiselwe. Kepha nganoma iyiphi indlela, isihogo kufanele sigwenywe noma kunjalo.
Lokhu kungikhumbuza incwadi ye-InterVarsity Press ngesihloko esithi, Imibono Emibili Yesihogo. U-Edward Fudge uphikisa ukubhujiswa; URobert Peterson uphikisa ukuhlupheka okuphakade. Ekhaveni yale ncwadi kunamadoda amabili, omabili ebeke izandla zawo phambi kwawo
ikhanda likhombisa ukwesaba noma ukwethuka. Inhloso yomdwebo ukuveza ukuthi,
Yize kunemibono emibili ngesihogo, noma ngabe umuntu usibona kanjani iSihogo, siyesabeka. UNkulunkulu unesihe, kepha umuntu ophikisana noNkulunkulu uyenqaba umusa wakhe ngakho-ke uyahlupheka.
Izinhlamvu zeTestamente Elisha
UJesu wasebenzisa izithombe ezahlukahlukene ukujezisa labo abenqaba umusa kaNkulunkulu: umlilo, ubumnyama, ukuhlushwa nokubhujiswa.
Abaphostoli nabo bakhuluma ngokwahlulela nokujeziswa, kodwa bakuchaza ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. UPawulu wabhala: “Kepha abathanda ukulwa nabangalaleli iqiniso, kulalela ukungalungi nokuthukuthela; Usizi nokucindezeleka phezu kwayo yonke imiphefumulo yabantu abenza okubi, kuqala kumaJuda naphezu kwamaGreki.” 2,8-enye).
Ngokuphathelene nalabo ababeshushisa ibandla laseThesalonika, uPawulu wabhala: “Bayothola isijeziso, ukubhujiswa okuphakade, basuke phambi kweNkosi namandla akhe okhazimulayo.”2. Thesalonika 1,9). Ngakho-ke, ezinkolelweni zethu, sichaza isihogo ngokuthi "ukuhlukaniswa nokuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu."
Isijeziso seTestamente Elidala ngokulahla uMthetho KaMose kwakuwukufa, kodwa noma ubani owenqaba uJesu ngamabomu ufanelwe isijeziso esikhulu, kusho amaHeberu. 10,28-29: “Kubi ukuwela ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu ophilayo” ( ivesi 31 ). UNkulunkulu unesihe esingenakucatshangwa, kodwa lapho umuntu enqaba umusa wakhe, ukwahlulela kuphela okusalayo. UNkulunkulu akafuni noma ubani ahlupheke ngokwesabeka kwesihogo - Ufuna bonke beze ekuphendukeni nasekusindisweni (2. UPetrus 2,9). Kodwa labo abenqaba umusa onjalo bayohlupheka. Lokho ukukhetha kwabo, hhayi okukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke isivumokholo sethu sithi isihogo "sakhethwa izoni ezingalungiseki." Lena ingxenye ebalulekile yesithombe.
Ukunqoba kokugcina kukaNkulunkulu nakho kuyingxenye ebalulekile yesithombe. Konke kuyokwenziwa ngaphansi kokulawula kukaKristu ngoba uhlengile yonke indalo (1. AbaseKorinte 15,20-24; AbaseKolose 1,20). Konke kuzolungiswa. Ngisho nokufa nendawo yabafileyo kuyobhujiswa ekugcineni (IsAmbulo 20,14). IBhayibheli alisitsheli ukuthi isiHogo singena kanjani kulesi sithombe, futhi asisho ukuthi siyasazi. Sithemba nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu, ogcwele ukulunga nesihe, uyokwenza konke esiphethweni esiyimpumelelo ngendlela engcono kakhulu.
Ubulungiswa nesihe sikaNkulunkulu
UNkulunkulu onothando ngeke ahluphe abantu unomphela, abanye bathi. IBhayibheli lembula uNkulunkulu onesihawu. Kunalokho, wayezokhulula abantu osizini lwabo kunokuba abenze bahlupheke phakade. Imfundiso yendabuko yesihogo esijeziswa ingunaphakade, abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi, imelela kabi uNkulunkulu njengomuntu onenkohliso onenzondo obeka isibonelo esibi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bekungeke kulunge ukujezisa abantu ngokungapheli ngempilo ethathe iminyaka embalwa noma amashumi eminyaka.
Kodwa ukuvukela uNkulunkulu kubi kakhulu, kusho ezinye izazi zemfundiso yenkolo. Asikwazi ukukala okubi ngesikhathi esidingekayo ukwenza lokhu, bayachaza. Ukubulala kungathatha imizuzu embalwa kuphela, kepha imiphumela ingadonsa amashumi eminyaka noma amakhulu eminyaka. Ukuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu kuyisono esibi kunazo zonke endaweni yonke, bathi, ngakho-ke kufanelwe isijeziso esibi kakhulu.
Inkinga ukuthi abantu abaqondi kahle ubulungisa noma umusa. Abantu abakufanelekeli ukwahlulela - kodwa uJesu Kristu ufanelekile. Uyokwahlulela izwe ngokulunga (IHu 9,8; UJohane 5,22; AmaRoma 2,6-11). Singasethemba isahlulelo sakhe, sazi ukuthi uyoba olungile nesihe.
Lapho kukhulunywa ngendaba yesihogo, ezinye izingxenye zeBhayibheli kubukeka zigcizelela ukuhlushwa nokujeziswa kanti ezinye zisebenzisa imifanekiso yokubhujiswa nokuphela. Esikhundleni sokuzama ukuvumelanisa incazelo eyodwa nenye, sibayeka bobabili bakhulume. Uma kukhulunywa ngesihogo, kufanele sethembe uNkulunkulu, hhayi ukucabanga kwethu.
Kukho konke uJesu akusho ngesiHogo, okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uJesu uyisixazululo senkinga. Akukho ukulahlwa kuye (KwabaseRoma 8,1). Uyindlela, neqiniso nokuphila okuphakade.
