KunamaKristu amaningi, who become born again and begin to walk after the Spirit, but after a while something happens and they go back to the Old Covenant and begin to apply all kinds of rules, imithethonqubo, amasiko, amadili, njll. ezimpilweni zabo. Why do Christians go back to the Old Covenant? What causes Christians to return to the Old Covenant?
God created man and His relationship with man was perfect
Lapho uNkulunkulu edala umuntu, the relationship between God and man was perfect. U-Adamu wayeyindodana kaNkulunkulu, who was created after the umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. God walked with Adam (indoda) and they had a perfect relationship, just like God intended His relationship with man to be. Until the moment arrived, that Adam succumbed to the temptation in the flesh and became disobedient to the commandment of God and sinned. Due to his disobedience, the relationship between God and man was broken. Man fell from his position and lost his dominion and authority on the earth, okwakunikeze uNkulunkulu.
Umoya womuntu wafa. Because of that man was no longer connected by the spirit to God, but man was connected by the flesh to the devil. Because of man’s obedience to the devil, isono (obedience to the intando kaSathane) entered, with the result that death, which is the wages of sin also entered and reigned in the flesh of man.
Man was no longer spiritual but became carnal and sense-ruled. And sin and death reigned in the flesh of man.
UDeveli (umbuso wobumnyama) had taken the dominion and authority of man through lies and by sowing doubt. Because Adam believed and obeyed the lie of the devil above the truth of God, the fallen angel Lucifer; the devil became the father of fallen man.
Umuntu owile wafakwa ngaphansi kwezingelosi futhi waba yizigqila ngaphansi kwezakhi zomhlaba.
Indoda ewile yathola imvelo efanayo nekayise; the fallen angel Lucifer (onakele). Ngakho-ke isimo sikadeveli sasiyoba khona enyameni yawo wonke umuntu, owayezozalwa ngenzalo ka-Adamu (indoda).
Ngenxa yothando ngesintu, UNkulunkulu wathola indlela yokuba nobuhlobo nesintu, kuze kufike uMesiya futhi abuyisele umuntu kuNkulunkulu futhi abuyisele ubuhlobo obuphukile phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu.
Isivumelwano no-Abrahama neNzalo yakhe
Manje izithembiso zenziwa ku-Abrahama nasenzalweni yakhe. Akasho, Futhi imbewu, njengabaningi; kodwa njengokukodwa, Nasenzalweni yakho, onguKristu (KwabaseGalathiya 3:16)
UNkulunkulu wamisa isivumelwano saKhe no-Abrahama neNzalo yakhe (uJesu). Ukusokwa enyameni yawo wonke abesilisa kwakuyoba uphawu lwalesi sivumelwano. Ukusoka kwakungokukaNkulunkulu uphawu lwesivumelwano Sakhe nezithembiso Zakhe kanye nabantu bakaNkulunkulu, kwakuwuphawu lokuzinikezela kuYe.
Ukusokwa enyameni kwenzeka usuku lwesishiyagalombili (Gen 17:10-11). Ngisho noma usuku lwesishiyagalombili lwalungosuku lweSabatha, ukusoka kwakusenzeka.
Usuku lwesishiyagalombili lubhekisela osukwini lweSivumelwano Esisha nokudalwa okusha, ubani esokiwe kuKristu, ngokukhumula inyama ekubhapathizweni emanzini (Funda futhi 'Kusho ukuthini ukusoka kuKristu?' futhi'Usuku lwesishiyagalombili, usuku lokudalwa okusha').
I-torah
430 Eminyakeni eminingi ngemva kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ku-Abrahama neNzalo yakhe, UNkulunkulu wahlenga abantu bakhe ekucindezelweni kukaFaro futhi wahola abantu bakhe wabakhipha ebugqilini wabayisa ezweni lesethembiso.. UNkulunkulu wamisa uMose njengommeleli Wakhe futhi wanika abantu Bakhe ubukhosi Umthetho wesono nokufa.
Umthetho, elilotshiweyo emthethweni (Gen-Deu) wanikezwa uNkulunkulu kubantu Bakhe besivumelwano ngokwenyama; Israyeli, 50 ezinsukwini emva kwePhasika. I-torah, izwi likaNkulunkulu elilotshiwe, yayiqukethe imiyalelo yendoda endala yenyama, owayebanjwe enyameni enesono.
Wonke umuntu, ababezozalwa enzalweni ka-Israyeli babengababantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano, okuyakuthi amadoda asokwe enyameni ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili ngokwesivumelwano sokuqala. Wonke umuntu, ababengababantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano ngokwenyama, kwakufanele alalele futhi agcine umthetho kaMose ukuze ahambe ekulungeni.
Umthetho wesono nokufa
Ngomthetho kaMose uNkulunkulu wayengaba nobudlelwane nendoda endala, ongumqondo obusayo futhi ohamba ngenyama okubusa kuyo isono nokufa. Kungakho umthetho ubizwa ngokuthi umthetho wesono nokufa (Rom 8:2)
Ngenxa yokuthi umthetho wawuqukethe imiyalo, ezazihloselwe ikhehla, onomqondo obusayo futhi onesimo sikadeveli futhi ohamba ngezinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama, UNkulunkulu wathi: “Ungalokothi…”.
Ngoba inyama igcwele ukuziqhenya, enomona, khwelezayo, onomona nokudlubulunda futhi unothando olwengeziwe ngaye-ke ngoNkulunkulu.
Inyama yenza zonke lezo zinto, okungamthokozisi uNkulunkulu futhi kuyisinengiso Kuye. Inyama ilandela abanye onkulunkulu, amanga, khohlisa, uyantshontsha, uyaphinga nobufebe, awuthembekile njll.
Yonke imisebenzi nezenzo, lokho uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngakho emthethweni kaMose futhi kwakuyisinengiso Kuye, zenziwa ngumuntu owile kanye nabantu abangamaqaba; Abezizwe.
UNkulunkulu wayengafuni ukuthi abantu Bakhe bahileleke emisebenzini yabo engcolile nemikhuba yabo yobuhedeni.
Ngokunikeza umthetho, UNkulunkulu akagcinanga ngokwenza intando Yakhe yaziwe kubantu Bakhe, kodwa abantu baKhe bafunda Indlela yakhe nokuhlukanisa okuhle nokubi; ukulunga nokungalungi.
Ngokulalela ubupristi bukaLevi, egcina umlayo layo yonke imilayo yawo, amadili, imikhosi (ukusoka), amasiko, imithetho yokudla kanye nemithetho yemihlatshelo, UNkulunkulu wayengaba nobudlelwane nabantu Bakhe benyama, kuze kube yilapho uJesu ezofika futhi ahlenge umuntu ekubuseni, ukubusa kanye nejoka likasathane, Ngubani obusa enyameni.
Imithetho eyishumi ezibhebheni zamatshe
ITorah yanikezwa uNkulunkulu futhi yayihloselwe umuntu omdala wenyama, ohlanganisa umzimba nomphefumulo. Njengoba umoya womuntu omdala wenyama ufile, UNkulunkulu, Ubani uMoya, wenza intando yaKhe yaziwe kubantu baKhe ngokubanika umthetho waKhe.
UNkulunkulu wabhala imithetho eyishumi emibili izibhebhe zamatshe, eyayimele inhliziyo yekhehla.
Kungani uNkulunkulu abhala imiyalo Yakhe eyishumi ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe? Imiyalo, ehlobene noNkulunkulu nomyalo wokuqala ‘Thanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ingqondo, umphefumulo namandla’ kwakulotshwe esibhebheni sokuqala setshe. Esibhebheni sesibili samatshe, UNkulunkulu wabhala imiyalo, ezazihlobene nomyalo wesibili othi ‘Thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena’.
Kule miyalo emibili ilengisa wonke umthetho nabaprofethi (Mat 22:40).
Ukuhlengwa kwenyama yomuntu omdala
Ngoba yilesi isivumelwano engizasenza lendlu kaIsrayeli ngemva kwalezonsuku, isho iNkosi; ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, futhi uzibhale ezinhliziyweni zabo: mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bazakuba ngabantu kimi: Futhi kabayikufundisa ngulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe, yilowo nalowo umfowabo, ethi, Yazi iNkosi: ngoba bonke bazangazi, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu. Ngoba ngizakuba lesihawu ukungalungi kwabo, nezono zabo nobubi babo angisayikukukhumbula. Kulokho Akushoyo, Isivumelwano esisha, Uluguge olokuqala. Manje lokho okubolayo nokugugayo sekulungele ukunyamalala (IsiHebheru 8:10-13)
Kulo lonke iBhayibheli, UNkulunkulu waprofetha mayelana Ukuza KoMesiya, isivumelwano esisha nokufika kukaMoya oNgcwele, Ubani owayezohlala kumuntu omusha (Oh. Genesis 3:15, Amahubo 22; 16:10, Isaya 7:14; 53:4-12, Jeremiya 31:33-34; 32:40, UHezekeli 11:19-21; 34; 36:25-28; 37, IsiHebheru 8:10-13; 10:15-16).
UJesu Kristu wayezohlenga umuntu enyameni yabo, lapho kubusa isimo sesono sikaSathane.
UNkulunkulu wathembisa ukufaka umoya omusha kumuntu futhi akhiphe inhliziyo yetshe kumuntu omdala futhi anikeze inhliziyo entsha yenyama, lapho kwakuzobhalwa khona imithetho kaNkulunkulu. Lesi sithembiso sagcwaliseka ngokufika kukaMoya oNgcwele.
UMoya oNgcwele uhlala esidalweni esisha futhi usemukele isimo sikaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke intando kaNkulunkulu ibhaliwe enhliziyweni yomuntu omusha.
Umthetho kwakunguthisha wesikole wekhehla
Kepha ngaphambi kokufika kokholo, Sagcinwa ngaphansi komthetho, vala okholweni okufanele kwembulwe ngemuva kwalokho. Ngakho-ke uMthetho wawungumyeni wethu wesikole ukuba asilethe kuKristu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokukholwa. Kepha emva kwalokho ukholo selufikile, Asisekho ngaphansi komphathi wesikole. Ngoba ninabo bonke abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuKristu Jesu. Ngoba abaningi bakho njengoba ubhapathizwe kuKristu ngibeke kuKristu. Akekho umJuda noma isiGreki, Akukho bond futhi mahhala, Akekho owesilisa nowesifazane: ngoba nonke nina munye kuKristu Jesu (KwabaseGalathiya 3:23-29)
Umthetho kanye nayo yonke imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, ezilotshwe eTorah zazingumfundisi wendoda endala. Ukuze ikhehla, obuswa ingqondo futhi ophila ngokwenyama, babezokwazi intando kaNkulunkulu nendlela Yakhe kanye nokugcina umthetho, umuntu wayezokhonza uNkulunkulu futhi ahambe ngokulunga.
ITorah yayihloselwe inyama yomuntu omdala. Kodwa njengoba inyama injalo ebethelwe kuKristu, Ngokuvuselelwa kabusha, inyama ayisaphili kodwa ingukufa, ngakho-ke iTorah ayisasebenzi kumuntu omusha, ophila ngoMoya.
Umuntu omusha ungcwele futhi ulungile ngoJesu Kristu
UNkulunkulu unikeze wonke umuntu amandla okuhlengwa enyameni yomuntu omdala, nazo zonke izinkanuko zayo, izifiso, ububi nesono, ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye Umsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga Esiphambanweni, nangokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, ukuze okudaliweyo kube yindalo entsha; indodana kaNkulunkulu.
Indalo entsha ayiseyona inceku kodwa isiphenduke indodana kaNkulunkulu, ongcweliswayo nolungile ngu umsebenzi ophelele kaJesu Kristu neGazi Lakhe.
Indoda entsha, ozelwe yiNzalo kaNkulunkulu futhi osengumoya, uyohamba emva kukaMoya futhi ngeke esabuswa yimizwa yakhe, imizwa, imizwelo, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso, okubusa enyameni.
Intando kaNkulunkulu iba yintando yesidalwa esisha ngoba isidalwa esisha sizalwa Nguye futhi sinemvelo Yakhe.
Ngenxa yalokho, umuntu omusha uyokwenza gcwalisa umthetho, njengoJesu, Ubani oyiZwi likaNkulunkulu eliphilayo futhi wagcwalisa umthetho ngokuhamba ngokulandela uMoya, emva kwentando kaNkulunkulu.
Ubudlelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu bubuyiselwe kuKristu
Ubudlelwano obuphelele, lokho uNkulunkulu ayenakho ekuqaleni ku-Adamu kwabuyiselwa kuJesu Kristu. KuJesu Kristu umuntu wabuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu angaba nobudlelwane ngoMoya oNgcwele nomuntu omusha; Indodana yakhe.
ITorah ngeke isasetshenziswa kumuntu omusha, ohamba ngemuva komoya. Njengoba iTorah yayihloselwe ikhehla, ohamba emva kwenyama futhi wafa kuJesu Kristu.
Okuwukuphela kwento yeTorah esasebenza nesasebenza kuyintando kaNkulunkulu, esaziswe kithi ngemiyalo yakhe ngoJesu; iZwi kanye nendawo yokuhlala kaMoya oNgcwele.
Indalo entsha ikhululekile ekusolweni
Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngoMoya (AmaRoma 8:1)
UmKrestu ozelwe ngokusha, ongcwelisiwe nolungile kuKristu futhi ohamba emiyalweni yakhe ngoMoya, ayihlali ngokwesaba ngaphansi kokulahlwa, elikhona enyameni. Umuntu ukhululiwe emthethweni wesono nokufa, elisebenza enyameni, nge ukubeka phansi enyameni nangokuhamba ngokukaMoya nomthetho kaMoya.
Inqobo nje uma inyama ihlala ifile, Akukho ukulahlwa. Kodwa uma nje umuntu ebuyela embusweni wobumnyama futhi enze imisebenzi yomuntu omdala wenyama futhi aphile ngokuvumelana nenyama esonweni., i Umthetho wesono nokufa aphinde asebenze futhi umuntu uyophila ngokwesaba, imizwa yecala nokulahlwa.
50 Izinsuku ngemuva kwePhasika, UNkulunkulu wenza intando Yakhe yaziwe kuzo zombili izivumelwano
Esivumelwaneni Esidala, UNkulunkulu wenza intando yaKhe yaziwe kubantu baKhe 50 ezinsukwini emva kwePhasika, ngokunikeza iTorah kubantu baKhe besivumelwano senyama, owayengowesizukulwane senyama yomuntu owile; ikhehla (Umkhosi Shavuot).
Esivumelwaneni esisha, UNkulunkulu wenza intando yaKhe yaziwe kubantu baKhe 50 ezinsukwini emva kwePhasika, by giving His Holy Spirit to His spiritual covenant people, who belonged to the spiritual generation of the new man (Read also ’Uthi bewazi….. 50 Izinsuku ngemuva kwePhasika')
The new man is born of God and has become a son of God and lives in freedom after the Spirit in obedience to Christ. Since the new man has become a son of God, the Spirit of the sonship lives inside the new man, who calls Abba Father (Rom 8:15, Gal 4:4-7).
Why do Christians go back to the Old Covenant?
Nokho, KunamaKristu amaningi, who are born again and have become a new creation and start right, but slowly go back to the Old Covenant and to all its rules, imithethonqubo, amasiko, amadili, laws and apply them in the New Covenant to the new creation. But that’s not how God has intended it to be.
All the feasts, amasiko, imihlatshelo, imithetho, regulations and the priesthood, that belonged to the Old Covenant, don’t belong in the New Covenant. Kunesizathu esenza sibizwe ngokuthi iSivumelwano Esidala.
Uma iSivumelwano Esisha siyisivumelwano esingcono futhi sithathe indawo yeSivumelwano Esidala, kungani amakholwa amaningi kangaka ebuyela eSivumelwaneni Esidala futhi asebenzise imikhosi, imithetho, imithethonqubo, imikhosi, amasiko, okwakuhloselwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama uIsrayeli, ezimpilweni zabo? Khona-ke kufanele futhi bagcine imithetho yemihlatshelo futhi baqhubeke nokunikela ngezilwane.
UPawulu waxwayisa amakholwa izikhathi eziningi futhi wabuza ibandla ukuthi yini eyenzeke endleleni yabo nokuthi kungani besuka kuMoya beya enyameni futhi baphuma esivumelwaneni esisha baya emithethweni neziqondiso zesivumelwano esidala. (Oh. Gal 2; 3:1-5).
Into kuphela, okungakashintshi kuyingxenye yomthetho wokuziphatha, okuyimiyalo kaNkulunkulu, lokho kumele intando Yakhe kanye nesimo Sakhe.
Intando kaNkulunkulu kuyefana emthethweni wesono nokufa, elibhekise ku – futhi usebenza enyameni yomuntu omdala wenyama, njengasemthethweni kaMoya, elibhekisela futhi lisebenze emoyeni womuntu omusha, okufanayo.
Uma ungafundi futhi ungafundisi iTestamente Elidala usuka kuMoya nasemqondweni kaKristu kodwa usuka enyameni nasengqondweni yenyama, kunoshintsho olukhulu ozolingwa udukiswe ubuyele esivumelwaneni esidala ubeke ijoka phezu kwakho ngokugcina yonke imikhosi, amasiko, amadili futhi uwasebenzise empilweni yakho, kuyilapho azikaze zenzelwe nina, abaye baba yindalo entsha, kodwa zazihloselwe indalo endala yenyama, ababezalwa ngokwemvelo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano u-Israyeli.
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu eqiniso ahamba eSivumelwaneni Esisha futhi amisa umthetho
Esivumelwaneni Esisha, kumayelana nawe usoka kuJesu Kristu nokuthi usube yindalo entsha kuKristu (AmaRoma 8:9-17, AbaseKolose 2:9-12, KwabaseGalathiya 6:15, Thithu 3:5-7).
Uma usuyisidalwa esisha kuKristu futhi uMoya kaKristu uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, khona-ke ningabakhe futhi niyogcina imiyalo Yakhe futhi nilandele iZwi noMoya futhi nimise umthetho.
Amakholwa, abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu futhi abaphila ngokwentando kaBaba ngokulunga, bangamadodana kaNkulunkulu eqiniso.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
