Emashumini eminyaka adlule, izimfundiso eziningi mayelana nokugcotshwa okuhlukahlukene sezishunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke. Ngokuphazima kweso, kwakukhona ukugcotshwa kwansuku zonke, ukugcotshwa okuphindwe kasikhombisa, ukugcotshwa kobupristi, ukugcotshwa kwenkosi, u-Ana egcoba u-Esteri nokunye. Kodwa lithini iBhayibheli ngakho konke lokhu kugcotshwa namazinga okugcotshwa namandla? Bangaki ukugcotshwa okukhona futhi yikuphi ukugcotshwa okuphezulu kakhulu umuntu angakuthola?
Izibonelo zokugcotshwa okushunyayelwa ebandleni
Ukugcotshwa okuphindwe kasikhombisa; ukugcotshwa kukaJehova, ukugcotshwa kokumesaba uJehova, ukugcotshwa kokuhlakanipha, ukugcotshwa kolwazi, ukugcotshwa kokuqonda, ukugcotshwa kweseluleko, ukugcotshwa kobukhosi, ugcobo lwebreaker, ukugcotshwa okungokwesiprofetho, ukugcotshwa konochoko, ukugcotshwa kobupristi, ukugcotshwa kwenkosi (ukugcotshwa kobukhosi), ugcobo lokuphilisa, ugcobo lobuphostoli, ukugcoba kuka-Anna, ukugcotshwa kuka-Esteri, ukugcotshwa kukaDebora. Lezi ngezinye zezinhlobo eziningi zokugcotshwa okushunyayelwa ebandleni.
Kepha akukhona konke, ngoba phakathi kwalokhu kugcotshwa, kunamazinga ahlukene okugcotshwa namandla, umuntu angayithola (i.e. amazinga aphindwe kahlanu).
Njalo ngemva kweminyaka embalwa kutholwa ukugcotshwa okusha futhi kushunyayelwe, lokho kudonsa amaKristu amaningi. Ngoba amaKristu amaningi alangazelela ukugcotshwa okusha. Ngoba ukugcotshwa okusha kusho izinga elisha lamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo.
Amazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nezindaba eziseBhayibhelini azisathakazelisi futhi azisahehi, kodwa kunalokho kuyisicefe. Kodwa ngokushesha nje umfundisi, (odumile) umshumayeli noma umprofethi ukhuluma ngezambulo ezintsha, amazinga angaphezu kwawemvelo kanye nokuhamba ngamandla, AmaKristu alenga ezindebeni zawo futhi akholwe wonke amazwi ashunyayelwayo, ngaphandle kokucwaninga iBhayibheli ngokwabo.
Ingabe iBhayibheli lisathakazelisa kumaKristu?
Ngokusho kwamaKristu amaningi, amazwi kaNkulunkulu eTestamenteni Elidala awabalulekile futhi awasasebenzi. I umthetho wokuziphatha, lokho kumelela intando kaNkulunkulu, ayinanzuzo futhi yadlula. AmaKristu awasaphili ngaphansi komthetho kodwa ngaphansi komusa. Bacabanga ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi abantu bangase benze lokho abafuna ukukwenza futhi baphile ngendlela abafuna ukuphila ngayo, noma ngabe iphikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa akuyona into engavamile, ukuthi amaKristu, abakholwayo futhi bashumayele lesi sigijimi, hamba njalo emuva eTestamenteni Elidala?
Baphenya futhi bembe eTestamenteni Elidala futhi bafunde izimpilo zabantu, ababesekhona indalo endala yenyama, ukuthola izinto ezintsha: izimfundiso ezintsha, izindlela, amasu kanye nazo zonke izinhlobo zokugcotshwa kanye namazinga okugcoba namandla?
Uma, Ngokusho kwabo, iTestamente Elidala alinanzuzo futhi alisasebenzi futhi abafuni ukuzwa lutho ngomthetho kaNkulunkulu wokuziphatha kanye nemiyalo Yakhe., lokho kumela Intando kaNkulunkulu, pho kungani befunda izimpilo nemisebenzi yempilo yomuntu omdala futhi basebenzise abakutholayo empilweni yomuntu omusha? Lokho akulungile. Akulona ivangeli 'lokukhetha bese ukhetha'.
Kuyafana nezimfundiso ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zokugcotshwa okushunyayelwa ebandleni.. Okuningi kwalokhu kugcotshwa kugqugquzelwa ngu- futhi itholakala eTestamenteni Elidala.
Njalo eminyakeni embalwa, ngemuva kwefilosofi eminingi, kutholwa ukugcotshwa okusha, okuthiwa, futhi washumayela.
izincwadi nezingqungquthela mayelana nokugcotshwa
Ziningi izincwadi ezilotshiwe mayelana nokugcotshwa okuhlukahlukene, ezidume kakhulu phakathi kwamaKristu. Izingqungquthela eziningi ezimayelana nokugcotshwa ziyahlelwa, lokho kudonsa amaKristu amaningi. Ngoba ubani ongafuni ukwamukela ukugcotshwa okukhethekile ngokubekwa izandla noma ukuba khona egcotshwe ngamafutha.
Ngakho-ke amaKristu amaningi avumela abanye ukuba bababeke izandla noma babagcobe ngamafutha, becabanga ukuthi bathola ukugcotshwa okukhethekile kanye nezinga elisha lamandla. Kepha ingabe lebhayibheli likhona? Futhi benzani ngalokhu kugcotshwa okusha ekuphileni kwabo kwansuku zonke?
Zingaki izici? Uma njalo eminyakeni embalwa kutholwa ukugcotshwa okusha, ke lokhu kungasho ukuthi ukugcotshwa okuningi, ukuthi singazi, zisafihliwe. Okusho ukuthi, ukuthi izizukulwane ezedlule ziphuthelwe ukugcotshwa okuningi. Mhlawumbe nathi sizophuthelwa ukugcotshwa, lokho kuzotholakala ezizukulwaneni ezilandelayo.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu akayena yini uNkulunkulu wezambulo, Owabikezela konke kwaze kwaba yilapho ukuphela kwezikhathi? Uthini uNkulunkulu ngogcobo? Ingabe kukhona ngempela ukugcotshwa okuhlukahlukene, ukuthi umuntu angakuthola ekuphileni ngokweBhayibheli?
Yeka ukugcotshwa kukaJesu?
Uma sibheka impilo kaJesu, asifundanga lutho ngokugcotshwa okuhlukahlukene uJesu akuthola. UJesu wayekhona obhapathizwe emanzini futhi uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu Kwakhe futhi ngemva kwalokho uJesu wafeza umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni.
UJesu wagcotshwa izikhathi eziningana phakathi nomsebenzi Wakhe. Wagcotshwa endlini kaSimoni onochoko, ngowesifazane, owathela amagcobo aligugu ekhanda laKhe, njengokulungiselela ukungcwatshwa Kwakhe (Mathewu 26:6-12, Maka 14:3-9).
Wagcotshwa endlini yomunye wabaFarisi, ngowesifazane, owayeyisoni futhi wageza izinyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi zakhe, wazesula ngezinwele zakhe, wanga izinyawo zaKhe, futhi wagcoba izinyawo zaKhe ngamafutha (Luka 7:36-50).
NoJesu wagcotshwa uMariya, udadewabo kaLazaru, owagcoba izinyawo zikaJesu, wesula izinyawo zakhe ngezinwele zakhe (UJohane 11:2, 12:3).
Nokho, lokhu kugcotshwa kwakungahlangene namandla akhethekile, ukubonakaliswa okungaphezu kwemvelo noma isikhundla, kodwa zonke zenziwa ngokwesiko labaJuda.
Ukuthunywa kwabafundi
UJesu akazange axoxe nabafundi bakhe ngokugcotshwa okuhlukahlukene, ukuthi bangazuza ekuphileni. UJesu akazange abagcobe abafundi Bakhe ngamafutha futhi akazange ababeke izandla Zakhe phezu kwabo, ukubanika amandla ngogcobo lwaKhe noma ukubanika ingxenye Yakhe kubo.
Hhayi nalapho uJesu ebiza abafundi Bakhe, wabanika igunya futhi wabathuma emsebenzini wokushumayela nokuletha ivangeli kubantu bakaNkulunkulu. Abafundi balalela amazwi Akhe futhi bahamba ngokukholwa benza konke uJesu ayebayalile ukuba bakwenze (Mathewu 10:5-15, Luka 9:1-6, 10:1-20).
Izipho nokuphatha
Kusukela eNcwadini yeZenzo kuze kufike eNcwadini yeSambulo, asifundi lutho mayelana nokugcotshwa okukhethekile okuhlukahlukene, okuyinto umuntu ayithola ngemva kokuba khona azalwe kabusha. Kunezipho kanye nokuphatha okuhlukene ebandleni okukhulunywa ngakho, kodwa izipho nemisebenzi akukhona ukugcotshwa.
Ikuphi ukugcotshwa okuphezulu kakhulu ngokweBhayibheli?
Ukugcotshwa okuphakeme kakhulu kuwukuphela kokugcotshwa okukhulunywa ngakho eBhayibhelini futhi lokho kuwukugcotshwa njengendodana kaNkulunkulu. (kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane). Ngokuvuselelwa kuKristu, ubekwe esikhundleni njengendodana kaNkulunkulu eMzimbeni kaJesu Kristu.
Ugcotshwe ngogcotshiweyo, Njengendodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi wemukela ukugcotshwa kukaMoya oNgcwele. Uthole konke okudingayo, ukwenza lokho uJesu; iZwi likuyala ukuba wenze njengomfundi waKhe (Mathewu 28:18-20, Maka 16:15-18).
Indodana kaNkulunkulu ayinayo ingxenye noma izingxenye zikaMoya oNgcwele kodwa yamukele ukugcwala kukaMoya (i.e. UJohane 14:17, AmaRoma 8:11, 1 AbaseKorinte 3:16).
UMoya oNgcwele uhlala ekugcwaleni Kwakhe kuyo yonke indodana kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele ubonakala kangakanani empilweni yekholwa, kuncike empilweni yekholwa.
Lapho impilo yekholwa izinikele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu, kanye umqondo uvuselelwe ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi usephenduke umqondo kaKristu, futhi ube ngumenzi wegama, kungalesosikhathi okholwayo ahambe, njengoJesu, ekugcwaleni kukaMoya oNgcwele.
UJesu wayezinikele ngokugcwele futhi -zwayo kuYise. Yena wayethanda uYise ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi wakubonisa lokho ngokugcina imiyalo Yakhe nangokuhamba entandweni Yakhe. UJesu wahamba ekugcwaleni kukaMoya oNgcwele, nazo zonke ‘izipho ezingokomoya’ zazibonakala empilweni Yakhe.
UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kini
Uma usho, ukuthi uzalwe kabusha, kodwa basabheka futhi balangazelela ‘ukugcotshwa okusha’ ngokubekwa izandla noma ngokugcotshwa ngamafutha., ungase uzibuze ukuthi ingabe ngempela uzelwe kabusha.
Unawe Ubethele inyama yakho kuJesu Kristu futhi uvusiwe kuye futhi ubhapathizwe ngoMoya oNgcwele? Ingabe uzelwe nguNkulunkulu futhi uJesu Kristu iNkosi yokuphila kwakho futhi ingabe uyamthanda Yena? Noma usengowezwe futhi usawuthanda umhlaba?
Mhlawumbe uzelwe kabusha, kodwa ingqondo yakho iseyinyama njengezwe futhi ayivuselelwanga ngeqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Kungaba futhi, ukuthi ingqondo yakho igcwele zonke izinhlobo izimfundiso zamanga, ezisekelwe phezu kwamafilosofi, Imibono, okutholakele, kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu (abashumayeli).
Izimfundiso zamanga mayelana nokugcotshwa(s)
Ezinye izimfundiso zamanga ezishunyayelwa esontweni: ukuthi udinga ukugcotshwa okukhethekile noma isipho esikhethekile kuqala, ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, okwenza amaKristu amaningi angenzi lutho. Ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uyafika futhi uhambe nokuthi kufanele uqale umbize uvela ezulwini noma uthandaze futhi sheshayo ukuze Yena eze futhi nibe namandla okwenza okuthile. Noma ukuthi udinga ukuhola okukhethekile noma umuzwa ovela kuMoya oNgcwele,ngaphambi kokuba wenze okuthile futhi wenze phezu kweZwi.
Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ukuthi awudingi ukugcotshwa okukhethekile noma isipho esikhethekile ukwenza lokho iBhayibheli elikutshela ukuthi ukwenze. Ngoba uMoya oNgcwele uhlala ekugcwaleni kwakhe ngaphakathi kuwe
Konke kumayelana nokuthi uyalazi futhi uyalikholwa iZwi nokuthi umqondo wakho uhambisana neZwi. Ukuze wena ube umenzi weZwi futhi uhambe emva koMoya noma ukuthi ingqondo yakho iseyenyama futhi uhamba emva kwenyama.
Uma useyinyama, khona-ke ngeke ukwazi ukuhamba ekukholweni. Ngoba uholwa izinzwa zakho, imizwa nemizwelo futhi njalo udinga ukuhola okukhethekile, izwi, Umuzwa, noma isiqinisekiso somuntu, ngaphambi kokuthi wenze phezu kweZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa awudingi ukuhola okukhethekile kukaMoya oNgcwele, Ngoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi amadodana kaNkulunkulu aholwa njalo nguMoya oNgcwele (AmaRoma 8:14). UMoya oNgcwele awufiki futhi uhambe, njengaseTestamenteni Elidala, kodwa yena uhlala futhi uhlala kini, ngaphandle kokuthi uMkhiphele kude.
UMoya oNgcwele awuwona amandla, into futhi ngokuqinisekile akuwona umuzwa, njengoba amakholwa amaningi ecabanga ukuthi Unjalo. Kodwa unguMduduzi noMoya weqiniso. UnguMoya futhi usebenza kanye nomoya wakho hhayi inyama yakho. Umuzwa awukona ukubonakaliswa komoya, kodwa okwenyama.
Lapho uphila ngokuvumelana intando kaNkulunkulu futhi wenze phezu kweZwi, khona-ke uMoya oNgcwele uyohlale enika amandla izenzo zakho. Ukwenza phezu kweZwi akuhlangene kuphela nokubonakaliswa kwamandla namandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke ngokukhula kwesimo sobuNkulunkulu, ukuphila impilo engcwele nengcwele emva kwentando kaNkulunkulu. Kungakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukufunda nokufunda iZwi, ukuze ukwazi iZwi laKhe. Ngoba ngeZwi kuphela uyokwazi intando Yakhe futhi uthole, oyikho ngempela kuKristu nalokho enikutholile kuye.
Uthole konke okudingayo kuNkulunkulu
Ngenkathi abafundi bemukela uMoya oNgcwele kuNkulunkulu, benza lokho uJesu abayala ukuba bakwenze. Babenakho konke ababekudinga. Lapho usuzelwe kabusha, futhi wamukele konke okudingayo kuNkulunkulu ukuze wenze lokho uJesu akuyala ukuba ukwenze.
Kunye kuphela ukugcotshwa futhi yilapho uzalwa ngokusha. Ngokuvuselelwa kuKristu, ugcotshiwe; wehlukene nezwe, ubekwe esikhundleni njengendodana kaNkulunkulu futhi ungokaNkulunkulu.
Wenziwe ngcwele futhi ulungile ngegazi likaJesu futhi unoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kuwe, ukufeza umsebenzi Wakhe nokuletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
