Ukuthandazela abafileyo kuqheliselwa ngamaKristu, abacinga ukuba banako ukuyiguqula indawo yokugqibela yomfi ngemithandazo yabo. Kwaye ke bathandazela umntu ofileyo umthandazo. Kodwa yayithandazela imiphefumlo yabafileyo eqheliselwa yiCawa kwiTestamente eNtsha okanye yimfundiso yobuxoki ephuma kwingqondo yomntu yenyama.? Makhe sijonge oko iBhayibhile ikutshoyo ngokuthandazela abafileyo. Ungabathandazela nini abafileyo, kwaye nini awukwazi ukubathandazela abafileyo?
Ungabathandazela nini abafileyo?
Ngaba unokuthandazela abafileyo?? Impendulo nguewe nohayi. Ekubeni kukho imeko yokomoya yokufa kunye nemeko yendalo yokufa.
Abantu abangazalwanga ngokutsha kuKristu baphila phantsi kwegunya likasathana nokufa ebumnyameni kwaye bafile kuThixo.. Le meko yokufa yimeko yokomoya yendoda endala (Indalo yakudala).
Indoda endala iyaphila ehlabathini kodwa ifile kuThixo ngenxa yeyakhe imeko ewileyo nezono nobugwenxa.
As long as people live on earth under the authority of the death in the kingdom of darkness, they have the ability to be redeemed from the power of death and be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and to become alive to God, Ngokholo kunye nokuhlaziywa kuKristu
Ungathandaza kwaye kufuneka ubathandazele aba bantu, abahleli emhlabeni kodwa bafile ngokomoya.
Kuba, njengokuba kuye uAdam bafa bonke, ngokunjalo nakuKristu baya kudliswa ubomi bonke (1 KwabaseKorinte 15:22)
Kungoko athi, Vuka wena uleleyo, uvuke kwabafileyo, UKristu uya kukukhanyisela (Kwabase-Efese 5:14)
Kwaye wena unidlise ubomi, ababefile ziziphoso na zizono; enanifudula nihamba kuzo ngokweli hlabathi, ngokomthetheli wegunya lesibhakabhaka, moya lo usebenzayo ngoku kubo abangevayo: esasifudula sihamba phakathi kwethu sonke, sikhanuka iinkanuko zenyama yethu, ukufeza inkanuko yenyama neyengqondo; babe ke ngemvelo bengabantwana bengqumbo, njengabanye. Kodwa uThixo, osisityebi ngenceba, ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu awasithanda ngalo, Naxa sasifile ezonweni, usidlise ubomi ndawonye noKristu, (nisindiswe ngokubabalwa;) (Kwabase-Efese 2:1-5)
Ukuze ndimazi, namandla ovuko lwaKhe, nobudlelane bakhe ngeentlungu zakhe, efaniswe nokufa kwakhe; ukuba ndingade ndifikelele ekuvukeni kwabafileyo (KwabaseFilipi 3:10-11)
Ndiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuba ube negama lokuba uhleli, kwaye ufile (ISityhilelo 3:1)
Xa ungenako ukuthandazela abafileyo?
But it’s too late for people, owafayo, abangasekhoyo kulo mhlaba. Awunakuthandazela umfi ukuba atshintshe indawo yakhe yokugqibela. Therefore the living can’t do anything for people that died and are no longer among us.
There is no turning back and no second change for the unbelievers that passed away and didn’t believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and His redemptive work, and have not repented and are not born again in Christ and have not become a new creation during their lives on earth.
They made a choice to obey and serve sin and death through their flesh and rejected Jesus Christ, Ngubani iNdlela, inyani, kunye noBomi.
Babengafuni ukufa kukaKristu nokuvuswa kwabafileyo kuye. But they loved their own lives.
Le nyaniso inzima kwaye abanye abantu abakwazi ukuyithwala le nyaniso. Ngoko ke, ukuze kudambe iintlungu zabaphilayo, owaphulukana nongakholwayo, many lies are told and false doctrines arose throughout the ages that caused them to believe that the living can still pray for the dead and change their final destination.
They believe that their prayers can ensure that the unrepented deceased person and/or the deceased person that attended church and lived in friendship with God but persevered in sin, can still inherit eternal life.
One of these false doctrines is the doctrine of purgatory that derives from the Catholic faith.
Yintoni intlambululo-miphefumlo?
Purgatory is an intermediate state where the souls of the elect, owafa ngokwenyama waza wahlala ebuhlotsheni noThixo, kodwa bebengahlanjululwanga ngokupheleleyo, uya kuhlanjululwa ngomlilo ohlanjululweyo. Yindawo yokuhlanjululwa bade bafikelele kwimo yobungcwele, efunekayo ukungena ezulwini.
Imithandazo yabaphilayo imele ukuba incede imiphefumlo yabangasekhoyo kwaye icuthe ixesha labo lentlambululo-miphefumlo.
The doctrine of purgatory is based on two scriptures: 1 KwabaseKorinte 3:10-15 kwaye 2 IiMaccabees 12:4-44.
Xa sijonga 1 KwabaseKorinte 3:10-15, we can conclude that this scripture isn’t about the purification process after death. But it’s about the Day of Judgment, when everyone will be judged according to his or her works on earth.
2 IiMaccabees 12:4-44 yinxalenye yeApocrypha kwaye ayivunywa ngamaProtestanti njengeLizwi likaThixo.
Ngaba unokuphila kubuhlobo noThixo ngaphandle kokuhlanjululwa ngokupheleleyo?
Hayi, you can’t be part of the elect and live in friendship with God without being fully sanctified. Ekuphela kwendlela eya kuThixo kungoYesu Kristu negazi lakhe.
UYesu Kristu uyiNdlela, Inyaniso kunye noBomi. Only by Jesus Christ and His blood and through faith and regeneration in Him, ungasindiswa, wenziwe ilungisa, uxolelaniswe noThixo, ungene ebukumkanini bamazulu, uhlale ngokumanyene naye.. (Owu. UYohane 3:3-6; 3:16, 2 KwabaseKorinte 5:21, Kwabase-Efese 2:8-9)
Kwaye ukuba uye waba sisidalwa esitsha kwaye uxolelaniswe noThixo kwaye wangena eBukumkanini bukaThixo ngokholo, inguquko, kunye nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, you shall be fully sanctified from all your sins and iniquities and ungabi saba ngumoni.
You shall no longer live in rebellion against God and persevere in sin.
nize ningabi sayenza imisebenzi yenyama;, since your flesh died in Christ and you have been redeemed from sin and death.
Ngoko ke, you are no longer a Ikhoboka lesono. Kodwa uya kuphila ngokuthobela uThixo kunye neLizwi lakhe neNyaniso ngentando yakhe kwaye wenze imisebenzi yobulungisa.
Ngoko ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni: ukuze njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, Ngokunjalo nathi sifanele sihambe sinobomi obutsha. Kuba ukuba similiselwe kuye ngemfano yokufa kwakhe, nathi siya kuba kwanjengemifuziselo yovuko lwakhe: Ukwazi oku, ukuba umntu wethu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye naye, ukuze umzimba wesono uphuthiswe, ukuze singabi sasikhonza isono. kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono.
Ukuba ke sifile kunye noKrestu, siyakholwa ukuba sodla ubomi kwandawonye naye: sisazi ukuba uKristu, evusiwe nje kwabafileyo, akabi safa; ukufa akusenagunya kuye. Kuba wafa ngaloo nto, Wafa kwakanye kwisono: udla ubomi ngokobudlayo, uphilela uThixo. Ngokunjalo nani zibaleleni ekuthini, ningabafileyo okunene kwisono, kodwa budla ubomi kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 6:4-11)
niyenze nyulu nje imiphefumlo yenu ngokuyilulamela inyaniso ngoMoya, kuse ekuthandeni abazalwana okungenaluhanahaniso., thandanani ngenyameko, ngokwasentliziyweni ehlambulukileyo: Ukuzalwa ngokutsha, hayi abembewu enokonakala, eyongenakonakala, ngelizwi likaThixo, odla ubomi, ehleli ngonaphakade (1 UPetros 1:22-23)
can you be saved through a church membership or your own works?
Awunakusindiswa uze uhlale kubuhlobo noThixo ngokuba lilungu lecawa okanye ngokuya rhoqo ecaweni okanye wenze ‘imisebenzi elungileyo’.
Akukho msebenzi omnye, oko kuphuma enyameni kugqalwa njengelungileyo yaye kunokumenza umntu olilungisa. Kungenxa yokuba wonke umsebenzi wenyama uvela kwimvelo yesono indoda endala kwaye unesimilo sokuzingca.
Umzekelo, ungaziva ngcono ngokuya kwinkonzo yecawa kunye/okanye ngokwenza ‘imisebenzi elungileyo’ kwaye ukhukhumale kwaye ube nekratshi.
Kuba nisindiswe ngokubabalwa nangalo ukholo; nako oko akuphumi kuni: sisipho sikaThixo eso: Hayi yemisebenzi, kungabikho bani uqhayisayo (Kwabase-Efese 2:8-9)
Ngoko isono masingalawuli emzimbeni wenu onokufa, ukuze niwululamele ngokweenkanuko zawo. Kanjalo amalungu enu maningawanikeli kuso isono, ukuba abe ziintonga zentswela-bulungisa;: kodwa zinikeleni nina ngokwenu kuThixo, njengabaphilayo bephuma kwabafileyo, amalungu enu ke, ukuba abe ziintonga zobulungisa kuThixo (AmaRoma 6:12-13)
Mhlawumbi usindisiwe wahlanjululwa wangcwaliswa ngegazi likaYesu kuzo zonke izono zakho kunye nobugwenxa kwaye wenziwa ilungisa kwaye uxolelaniswe noYise kwaye uya kuhamba emva koMoya ekuthandeni kwakhe ukwenza imisebenzi yobulungisa okanye awusindiswanga kwaye awuhlanjululwanga kwimpilo yakho. Izono nokuchasa umthetho kwaye awenziwanga amalungisa kwaye akaba ngabaxolelanisiweyo noBawo, ke nina niseyiyo indalo yakudala, eniya kuthi ngayo nihambe ngokwenyama, ningamthobeli uThixo, niyenze imisebenzi yenyama, esisisono.
Ubulungisa nenceba kaThixo
Abantu abakholelwa kwimfundiso yentlambululo-miphefumlo bakholelwa ukuba intlambululo-miphefumlo ibonisa ubulungisa nenceba kaThixo. Kodwa ubulungisa nenceba kaThixo zityhilwe kuMnqophiso oMtsha ngoYesu Krestu noMoya oyiNgcwele.
Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ukuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade (UYohane 3:16)
Nam ndiya kucela kuBawo, woninika omnye uMthetheleli, ukuze ahlale nani ngonaphakade; NoMoya wenyaniso; elingenako ukubamkela ihlabathi, ngokuba ayimboni yena, kananjalo abamaziyo: ke nina niyamazi; ngokuba uhleli nani, kwaye uya kuba kuwe (UYohane 14:16-17)
It is the will of God that everyone be saved and not be lost forever. Ngoko ke uThixo umnike uNyana wakhe noMoya wakhe. So that every person on earth has been given the ability to become a son of God (kokubini amadoda nabafazi) and walk as a son of God by faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him.
Wonke umntu udinga uYesu Kristu! Ngaphandle kukaYesu Kristu nangaphandle kwegazi Lakhe akukho mntu unokusindiswa aze angcwaliswe ezonweni zakhe nakubugwenxa bakhe aze enziwe ilungisa.. (Funda kwakhona: Ubomi abukho malunga nokuzifumana, kodwa ndifumene uYesu).
Ngaba izono zinokuxolelwa emva kokufa?
Hayi, sins can’t be forgiven after death. Your sins can be forgiven during your life on earth but not after you die.
Lowo uwuthandayo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; lowo uwuthiyayo umphefumlo wakhe kweli hlabathi, wowulondolozela ubomi obungunaphakade (UYohane 12:25)
Ngaba kukho ukuhlanjululwa emva kokufa naphambi komgwebo?
Hayi, when a person dies it’s over and judgment will follow. Ukuba umntu ufile, akukho ndlela yokuba abo bangasindiswanga basindiswe.
Akukho lizwe liphakathi. Akukho ndawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo, apho abantu banamandla okuhlanjululwa ngemithandazo okanye ngaphandle kwemithandazo yabaphilayo emhlabeni.
Kwanjengokuba ke kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kube kanye, Emveni ke komgwebo: Ngoko uKristu wanikelwa kwaba kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaninzi; uya kuthi okwesibini, ngaphandle kwesono, abonakale kwabo bamlindileyo, ezisa usindiso (Hebhere 9:27-28)
Nalu unyamezelo lwabangcwele: naba abayigcinayo imithetho kaThixo, kunye nokholo lukaYesu (ISityhilelo 14:12)
KuLuka 16:19-31 Jesus told the parable of the poor Lazarus and the rich man, who both belonged to the house of Israel (God’s covenant people).
In this parable, isityebi asizange sinikwe ithuba lesibini. Indoda esisityebi ayizange ihlanjululwe, ukuze akwazi nokuya ezulwini. Hayi, kulapho ke besisiya khona isityebi. Le ndawo besisiya kuyo yayimbi kakhulu, ukuba isityebi sasifuna uLazaro ukuba alumkise uyise nabantakwabo abahlanu ukuze babathintele ekuyeni kwandawonye.. Kodwa isicelo sesityebi asizange simkelwe, ekubeni babenoMoses nabaprofeti ababemele babaphulaphule.
Isigwebo kunye nendawo yokugqibela
Akukho ndawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo, akukho ndawo emva kokufa, apho abantu banokuhlanjululwa baze basindiswe. Ekuphela kweendawo ezikhankanywe eBhayibhileni ezinomlilo sisihogo (IHadesi) nedike lomlilo elingunaphakade.
All the people that didn’t belong to Jesus Christ and have not been risen from the dead during their lives on earth and have not died in Him, kodwa ngabakufa, they shall see the death and go to hell and stay there until they will be judged. After the judgment will receive the second death and will be cast into the eternal lake of fire.
Ndabona itrone enkulu emhlophe, nalowo wayehleli phezu kwayo, owasabayo umhlaba nezulu; azafunyanelwa ndawo ke, ndababona abafileyo, encinci kunye nenkulu, yima phambi koThixo; zavulwa iincwadi: nenye incwadi yavulwa, eyiNcwadi yobomi: bagwetywa abafileyo ngezinto ezibhaliweyo ezincwadini ezo, ngokwemisebenzi yabo.
Lwathi ulwandle lwabakhupha abafileyo abakulo; kwathi ukufa nelabafileyo kwabakhupha abafileyo abakhona: bagwetywa elowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwaza ukufa nelabafileyo kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini. Othe akafunyanwanga ebhaliwe encwadini yobomi, waphoswa edikeni lomlilo (ISityhilelo 20:11-15)
Lowo weyisayo uya kuzidla ilifa izinto zonke; ndibe nguThixo wakhe, Yena uya kuba ngunyana wam. Kodwa aboyikayo, nabangakholwayo, namasikizi, nababulali, nabahenyuzi, nabakhafuli, nabanquli-zithixo, namaxoki onke, Isabelo sabo siya kuba sedikeni elivutha umlilo nesulfure: oko kukufa kwesibini (ISityhilelo 21:7-8)
Stop praying for the people that are physically dead and pray for the people that are spiritually dead
Ngoko ke yekani ukukholelwa ubuxoki bukaSathana, niyeke ukuthandazela imiphefumlo engasekhoyo. Kunoko, begin to pray for the dead who live on earth. So that they will believe, guqukani, and by faith and regeneration in Christ be raised from the dead and become alive to God and be saved, ukuze bangaboni ukufa xa besifa ngokwasemzimbeni, atshise esihogweni, kodwa baya kudla ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade.
Kwaye, khangela, Ndiyeza ngokukhawuleza; nomvuzo wam unam, ukunika elowo njengoko umsebenzi wakhe uya kuba njalo. Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, iSiqalo nesiphelo, owokuQala nowokuGqibela (ISityhilelo 22:12-13)
