ʻO Agape, ke aloha akua, aloha ʻole. aloha enemi. ʻO ka hopena o kahi hoʻoholo, kumu, ʻaʻole manaʻo. Lohe hou kekahi ma na haiolelo, heluhelu ma na atikala.

Pono e hoʻohana ʻia nā huaʻōlelo Helene mai ke Kauoha Hou no nā aʻo holoʻokoʻa ma ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻepekema.

Ua haʻalele pinepine kēia iaʻu me ka manaʻo paʻa. No ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka makemakika a me ke akeakamai, ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o kēia mau mea. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka agape theology e ka manaʻo Helene? ʻAʻole kakaikahi ka noho ʻana i ka manaʻo, lilo i ka manaʻo a me ka mea pōʻino ke kū pinepine nei i ka ʻokoʻa i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā?

I koʻu wā ʻōpiopio, makemake au e aʻo i ka ʻepekema. Ma hope o kaʻu lawelawe kaiāulu, ua hoʻoholo wau i ka manawa pōkole e aʻo i nā ʻōlelo no ka mea ua ʻōlelo koke mai kekahi iaʻu e kūʻē i ke aʻo ʻana i ka theology ma hope o kahi pule kikoʻī no ia mea. He mea hoʻololi kamahaʻo ia iaʻu i kēlā manawa.

Ma kahi o ka Helene, ua nānā au i ka Hebera. Ua hoʻololi nui ia i koʻu hoʻokokoke ʻana i ka Baibala. I kēia lā, mahalo wau no kēlā. No ka mea, ua maopopo iaʻu ua hoʻohana wale nā ​​mea kākau i ke Kauoha Hou i ka Helene ma ke ʻano he ʻōlelo honua i mea e hiki ai i nā poʻe he nui. Aka, he Hebera ko lakou manao.

A ma ka ʻōlelo Hebera, ʻo ka huaʻōlelo koʻikoʻi no ke aloha he chesed. Aia pū kēia huaʻōlelo i nā manaʻo o ke aloha, ka lokomaikaʻi, ka lokomaikaʻi, ka lokomaikaʻi, ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ka maikaʻi a pili mau me ka hana o ke ola a i ʻole i hōʻike ʻia i loko. No laila ua piha kēia ʻōlelo i ka manaʻo a me ke kuko. No laila ʻaʻole paha i kamaʻilio nā lunaʻōlelo e pili ana i kēia aloha i ka wā i hoʻohana ai lākou i ka huaʻōlelo agape?

Ua ʻike ʻia kēia aloha ma ke ola o nā hūnōna wahine a Naomi, ʻo Ruta lāua ʻo ʻOrepa. Ko e hā hono fakatapui ʻo ʻene moʻuí naʻe fie pehē ai ʻe Naomi: “Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou fai ki he kau pekia mo au.” (Ruta 1,8:XNUMX).

Ua hoike mai ka Baibala i keia aloha ma na wahi he nui: » E hoomaikai aku ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai oia, a ua mau loa kona aloha.« (Salamo 118,1:31,3) Ua aloha mau au ia oe, nolaila au i huki mai ai ia oe ia'u mai loko mai o ka chesed. (Ieremia 6,6:XNUMX) ma Kesed, ʻaʻole ma ka mōhai." (Hosea XNUMX:XNUMX).

ʻO ke kanaka i hoʻokomo i loko o Chesed he Hasid, he aloha, haipule, makaʻu i ke Akua, aloha, hemolele: "E aloha iā Iēhova, e kona mau Hasidim a pau!" (Salamo 31,23: 97,10) "E ka poʻe aloha iā Iēhova, e inaina i ka hewa! Ua mālama ʻo ia i nā ʻuhane o kāna Hasidim.« (Salamo XNUMX:XNUMX).

ʻO ka huaʻōlelo Hebera ʻē aʻe no ke aloha, ahava, ʻaʻole i nele i ka manaʻo spiritualized, disembodied connotation i hiki i ka manaʻo Helene o agape ke hana i kekahi manawa.

"E kau iaʻu e like me ka sila ma kou puʻuwai, e like me ka sila ma kou lima. No ka mea, ua ikaika ʻo ʻAhava e like me ka make; ʻO ko lākou mau lapalapa he ahi a he lapalapa nui. ʻAʻole hiki i nā wai nui ke kinai i ka ʻAhava, ʻaʻole hoʻi nā muliwai e hoʻopaʻa iā lākou." (Song of Songs 8,6.7:XNUMX, XNUMX).

ʻO ka mea i loaʻa i kēia ahi, ʻaʻole mau kona manaʻoʻiʻo i ka hoʻoikaika kino, ʻaʻohe manaʻo, ʻaʻohe lehelehe, ʻaʻohe ʻeuanelio manaʻo maikaʻi e kūpono i ka papa inoa. Hoʻopili kēia ahi me ka Mea Mana Loa a me nā hoa kanaka. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa kēia ahi i ka honua!

He mea hou paha kēia ʻāpana i ko mākou pepeiao i kēia manawa:

'O oukou ka poe i loaa i ka chesed, e hoike kakou i ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi; no ka mea, na ke Akua mai o Keseda, a o ka mea hana ia Keseda, ua hoohanauia ia e ke Akua, a ua ike i ke Akua. ʻO ka mea hana ʻole i ka chesed, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i ke Akua; no ka mea, ʻo ke Akua ʻo Chesed... A ua ʻike mākou a ua manaʻoʻiʻo i ka Chesed a ke Akua i hāʻawi mai ai no mākou: ʻo ke Akua ʻo Chesed; a o ka mea e noho ana iloko o Keseda, noho no ia iloko o ke Akua, a o ke Akua hoi iloko ona... Aole ka makau iloko o Keseda, aka, o Chesed hemolele e kipaku aku ana i ka makau... E hoopau kakou ia Chesed, no ka mea, ua haawi mua mai oia ia kakou ia Chesed. Ina e olelo kekahi, Ua pule au i ke Akua, a inaina aku i kona hoahanau, he wahahee ia. No ka mea, ʻo ka mea aloha ʻole i kona hoahānau āna i ʻike ai, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hōʻike aloha i ke Akua, i ka mea āna i ʻike ʻole ai. A ua loaa ia kakou keia kauoha mai ia mai, o ka mea haawi i ke Akua i ka makana o Chesed, e haawi no hoi ia Chesed i kona kaikaina.« (1 Ioane 4,7.8.16.18.19:21-XNUMX paraphrased)
