Chenjerani ndi kuterera! Ndi Ellen White

Pa March 3, 1522, patadutsa miyezi khumi kuchokera pamene Luther anagwidwa, anatsanzikana ndi gulu lankhondo la Wartburg ndipo anapitiriza ulendo wake wodutsa m’nkhalango zamdima kupita ku Wittenberg.

Iye anali pansi pa ulamuliro wa ufumuwo. Adaniwo anali ndi ufulu womupha; mabwenzi analetsedwa kumthandiza kapena ngakhale kum'nyumba. Boma lachifumu, losonkhezeredwa ndi changu chotsimikizirika cha Mtsogoleri George wa ku Saxony, linachita zinthu zoopsa kwambiri kwa otsatira ake. Kuopsa kwa chitetezo cha wokonzanso zinthu kunali kwakukulu kwambiri moti Elector Friedrich, ngakhale kuti anapemphedwa kuti abwerere ku Wittenberg, anamulembera kalata yomupempha kuti akhalebe pamalo ake otetezeka. Koma Luther anaona kuti ntchito yolalikira uthenga wabwino inali pangozi. Choncho, mosaganizira za chitetezo chake, anaganiza zobwereranso ku nkhondoyo.

Kalata yolimba mtima yopita kwa voti

Atafika m’tauni ya Borne, analembera kalata wosankhidwayo n’kumufotokozera chifukwa chake anachoka ku Wartburg:

Ndapereka ulemu Wanu wokwanira,’ iye anatero, ‘mwa kudzibisa kwa anthu kwa chaka chonse. Satana akudziwa kuti sindinachite zimenezi chifukwa cha mantha. Ndikadalowa ku Worms ngakhale mumzindawu munali ziwanda zochuluka ngati matailosi padenga. Tsopano a Duke George, amene Ulemerero Wanu umamutchula kuti amandiopseza, ndi wochepa kwambiri woti amawope kuposa mdierekezi mmodzi. Ngati zomwe zikuchitika ku Wittenberg zikachitika ku Leipzig [kunyumba ya Duke Georg], ndikadakwera kavalo wanga nthawi yomweyo ndikukwera pamenepo, ngakhale - Ulemerero Wanu ungandikhululukire mawuwo - panali masiku asanu ndi anayi osawerengeka a Georg- Dukes akanagwa kuchokera kumwamba, ndipo aliyense akanakhala woopsa kuwirikiza kasanu ndi kamodzi kuposa iye! Akandiukira ndi chiyani? Kodi akuganiza kuti Khristu, bwana, ndi munthu waudzu? Mulungu amchotseretu chiweruzo choopsa chimene chili pa iye!

Ndikufuna kuti Mkulu wanu adziwe kuti ndikupita ku Wittenberg ndi chitetezo champhamvu kuposa cha voti. Ndilibe cholinga chopempha thandizo kwa Ambuye wanu, komanso kutali ndi kufuna chitetezo chanu. M'malo mwake, ndikufuna kuteteza ukulu wanu. Ndikadadziwa kuti Mkulu Wanu akhoza kunditeteza kapena kunditeteza, sindikanabwera ku Wittenberg. Palibe lupanga lakudziko limene lingapititse patsogolo cholinga chimenechi; Mulungu ayenera kuchita chilichonse popanda thandizo kapena mgwirizano wa munthu. Amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro chachikulu ali ndi chitetezo chabwino; koma Ulemerero Wanu, zikuwoneka kwa ine, udakali wofooka kwambiri m'chikhulupiriro.

Koma popeza Wam'mwambamwamba mukufuna kudziwa zoyenera kuchitidwa, ndikuyankha modzichepetsa: Ulemerero Wanu Wachisankho wachita kale kwambiri ndipo suyenera kuchita kalikonse. Mulungu sadzalola, ndipo sadzalola, inu kapena ine kukonza kapena kuchita nkhaniyo. Ambuye, chonde mverani malangizo awa.

Koma ine, Mkulu wanu mukumbukire ntchito yanu monga Wosankha, ndi kutsatira malangizo a Mfumu Yake m’mizinda ndi m’zigawo zanu, osapereka chopinga kwa aliyense amene akufuna kundigwira kapena kundipha; pakuti palibe amene angatsutse maulamulirowo, koma amene adawakhazikitsa.

Chifukwa chake, Ulemerero Wanu, usiye zitseko zotseguka ndikupereka njira yotetezeka, adani anga akabwera payekha kapena kutumiza nthumwi zawo kudzandifunafuna m'dera la Ukulu Wanu. Chilichonse chichitike m'njira yake popanda chosokoneza kapena choyipa kwa Ulemerero Wanu.

Ndikulemba izi mwachangu kuti musakhumudwe ndi kubwera kwanga. Sindichita bizinesi yanga ndi Duke Georg, koma ndi munthu wina yemwe amandidziwa komanso yemwe ndimamudziwa bwino.

Kukambirana ndi otentheka Stübner ndi Borrhaus

Luther sanabwerere ku Wittenberg kukamenyana ndi malamulo a olamulira a dziko lapansi, koma kuti alepheretse mapulaniwo ndi kukana mphamvu ya kalonga wa mdima. M’dzina la Yehova anapitanso kukamenyana ndi choonadi. Mosamala kwambiri ndi modzichepetsa, komanso molimba mtima ndiponso molimba mtima, anayamba ntchitoyo, ponena kuti chiphunzitso ndi zochita zonse ziyenera kuyesedwa ndi Mawu a Mulungu. 'Ndi mawu,' iye anatero, 'ndikutsutsa ndi kuchotsa zomwe zapeza malo ndi chikoka kupyolera mwa chiwawa. Si chiwawa chimene okhulupirira malodza kapena osakhulupirira amafunikira. Amene akhulupirira ayandikira, ndipo amene Sadakhulupirire amakhala patali. Palibe kukakamiza kuchitidwa. Ndinayimilira ufulu wa chikumbumtima. Ufulu ndiye maziko enieni a chikhulupiriro."

Wokonzansoyo analibe chikhumbo chofuna kukumana ndi anthu opusitsidwa amene kutengeka kwawo kunadzetsa zoipa zambiri. Iye ankadziwa kuti awa anali anthu okwiya msanga amene, ngakhale ankadzinenera kuti anaunikiridwa mwapadera ndi Kumwamba, sakanasokoneza ngakhale pang’ono kutsutsana kapena ngakhale kulangiza mwaulemu. Analanda ulamuliro wapamwamba ndipo ankafuna kuti aliyense avomereze zonena zawo mosakayikira. Komabe, aŵiri mwa aneneri ameneŵa, Markus Stübner ndi Martin Borrhaus, anafuna kuti Luther afunse mafunso, ndipo iye anali wofunitsitsa kuvomereza. Anatsimikiza kusonyeza kudzikuza kwa anthu onyengawa, ndipo ngati n’kotheka, kupulumutsa miyoyo imene inanyengedwa ndi iwo.

Stübner anatsegula zokambiranazo pofotokoza mmene ankafunira kukonzanso tchalitchicho ndi kusintha dziko. Luther anamvetsera ndi kuleza mtima kwakukulu ndipo pomalizira pake anayankha kuti, “M’zonse zimene mwanena, sindikuona chilichonse chochirikizidwa ndi Malemba. Ndi nthano chabe.’ Atamva mawu amenewa, Borrhaus anamenya nkhonya yake patebulo ali wokwiya kwambiri ndipo anafuula ndi zimene Luther ananena kuti wanyoza munthu wa Mulungu.

“Paulo anafotokoza kuti zizindikiro za mtumwi zinkachitidwa mwa zizindikiro ndi ntchito zamphamvu pakati pa Akorinto,” anatero Luther. “Kodi inunso mufuna kutsimikizira utumwi wanu ndi zozizwitsa?” “Inde,” anayankha aneneriwo. “Mulungu amene ndimam’tumikira adzadziwa kuŵeta milungu yanu,” anatero Luther. Stübner tsopano anayang’ana munthu wokonzanso zinthu uja ndi kunena motsimikiza kuti: “Martin Luther, ndimvetsere bwino! Ndikuuzani tsopano zomwe zikuchitika mu moyo wanu. Mwayamba kumvetsa kuti chiphunzitso changa n’choona.”

Luther anangokhala chete kwa kanthawi kenako anati, “Yehova akudzudzule Satana.

Tsopano aneneri analephera kudziletsa ndipo anafuula mokwiya kuti: “Mzimu! mzimu!” Luther anayankha mwachipongwe choziziritsa kukhosi kuti: “Ndidzakwapula mzimu wako pakamwa.

Pamenepo kulira kwa aneneri kunachuluka; Borrhaus, yemwe anali wachiwawa kwambiri kuposa enawo, anakwiya kwambiri mpaka anachita thovu m’kamwa. Chifukwa cha kukambiranako, aneneri onyengawo anachoka ku Wittenberg tsiku lomwelo.

Kwa kanthawi kutengeka maganizo kunali koletsedwa; koma zaka zingapo pambuyo pake unayamba ndi chiwawa chokulirapo ndi zotulukapo zowopsa koposa. Luther ananena za atsogoleri a gulu limeneli kuti: ‘Kwa iwo Malemba Opatulika anali kalata yakufa; onse anayamba kukuwa, ‘Mzukwa! mzimu!’ Koma sindidzatsatira kumene mzimu wake ukumutsogolera. Mulungu mu chifundo chake anditeteze ku mpingo umene muli oyera mtima okha. Ndikufuna kukhala m’chiyanjano ndi odzichepetsa, ofooka, odwala, amene amadziwa ndi kumva machimo awo ndi kubuula ndi kulira kwa Mulungu kuchokera pansi pa mitima yawo kaamba ka chitonthozo ndi chiwombolo.”

Thomas Müntzer: Momwe kukonda ndale kungabweretsere zipolowe ndi kuphana

Thomas Müntzer, wokangalika kwambiri mwa otengeka maganizo ameneŵa, anali munthu waluso lokulirapo limene, atagwiritsidwa ntchito moyenera, likamkhozetsa kuchita zabwino; koma anali asanamvetsebe ma ABC a Chikhristu; sanadziŵe mtima wake, ndipo analibe kudzichepetsa kwenikweni. Komabe iye ankaganiza kuti Mulungu anamutuma kuti akonze dziko lapansi, n’kuiwala, mofanana ndi anthu ena ambiri okonda zinthu, kuti zinthuzo zikanayamba ndi iyeyo. Zolemba zolakwika zomwe anawerenga ali wamng'ono zinasokoneza khalidwe lake ndi moyo wake. Analinso wofuna kutchuka ponena za udindo ndi chisonkhezero ndipo sanafune kukhala wotsikirapo kwa wina aliyense, ngakhale Luther. Iye anaimba mlandu Ofuna Kusintha zinthu za mtundu winawake wa upapa ndi kupanga matchalitchi amene sanali oyera ndi opatulika mwa kumamatira kwawo kwenikweni ku Baibulo.

“Luther,” anatero Müntzer, “anamasula chikumbumtima cha anthu ku goli laupapa. Koma anawasiya ali ndi ufulu wachibadwidwe ndipo sanawaphunzitse kudalira Mzimu ndi kuyang’ana mwachindunji kwa Mulungu kaamba ka kuunika.” Müntzer anadziona kuti anaitanidwa ndi Mulungu kuti athetse vuto lalikululi ndipo analingalira kuti kusonkhezeredwa ndi Mzimu ndiko njira imene zimenezi zimachitikira. kuti akwaniritsidwe. Iwo amene ali ndi mzimu amakhala ndi chikhulupiriro choona, ngakhale kuti sanawerenge mawu olembedwa. Iye anati: “Achikunja ndi anthu a ku Turkey ndi okonzeka kulandira mzimuwo kuposa Akhristu ambiri amene amatitcha osangalala.

Kugwetsa kumakhala kosavuta nthawi zonse kuposa kumanga. Kutembenuza magudumu okonzanso kumakhalanso kosavuta kusiyana ndi kukwera galeta kumalo otsetsereka. Palinso anthu amene amavomereza chowonadi chokwanira kuti apereke kwa okonzanso, koma ali odzidalira kwambiri kuti asaphunzitsidwe ndi omwe Mulungu akuwaphunzitsa. Izi nthawi zonse zimatsogolera kutali komwe Mulungu akufuna kuti anthu ake apite.

Müntzer anaphunzitsa kuti onse amene akufuna kulandira mzimu ayenera kuvulaza thupi ndi kuvala zovala zong’ambika. Ayenera kunyalanyaza thupi, kukhala ndi nkhope yachisoni, kusiya mabwenzi awo onse akale, ndi kupita kumalo achipululu kukachonderera chiyanjo cha Mulungu. “Ndiye,” iye anati, “Mulungu adzabwera ndi kudzalankhula kwa ife monga Iye analankhulira kwa Abrahamu, Isake, ndi Yakobo. Ngati sakanachita zimenezo, sakanakhala woyenerera chisamaliro chathu.” Chotero, mofanana ndi Lusifara iyemwini, munthu wonyengedwa ameneyu anapanga mikhalidwe ya Mulungu ndipo anakana kuvomereza ulamuliro wake pokhapokha atakwaniritsa mikhalidwe imeneyo.

Anthu mwachibadwa amakonda zodabwitsa ndi chirichonse chimene chimakopa kunyada kwawo. Malingaliro a Muntzer adalandiridwa ndi gawo lalikulu la gulu laling'ono lomwe amatsogolera. Kenako anadzudzula dongosolo lililonse ndiponso miyambo yonse yolambirira poyera, ndipo ananena kuti kumvera akalonga kunali ngati kuyesa kutumikira Mulungu ndi Beliyali. Kenako anaguba patsogolo pa gulu lake kupita ku nyumba yopemphereramo yomwe ankakonda kupitako oyendayenda ochokera m’madera onse n’kuiwononga. Pambuyo pa chiwawa ichi adakakamizika kuchoka m'derali ndikuyendayenda ku Germany komanso mpaka ku Switzerland, kulikonse akuyambitsa mzimu wopanduka ndi kuvumbulutsa dongosolo lake la kusintha kwakukulu.

Kwa awo amene anali atayamba kale kutaya goli la upapa, zopereŵera za ulamuliro wa boma zinali kuwakulirakulira. Ziphunzitso zosintha zinthu za Müntzer, zimene anachonderera kwa Mulungu, zinawachititsa kuti asiye kudziletsa n’kusiya tsankho ndi zilakolako zawo. Zochitika zoopsa kwambiri za zipolowe ndi zipolowe zinatsatira, ndipo minda ya Germany inali itakha magazi.

Martin Luther: Kusalidwa kudzera mu kuganiza kwa njiwa

Chizunzo chimene Luther anakumana nacho kalekale m’chipinda chake ku Erfurt chinapondereza moyo wake kuŵirikiza kaŵiri kuposa mmene anawonera chiyambukiro cha kutengeka maganizo pa Kukonzanso. Akalongawo anapitiriza kubwerezabwereza, ndipo ambiri anakhulupirira kuti chiphunzitso cha Luther chinali chimene chinayambitsa kuwukirako. Ngakhale kuti mlanduwu unali wopanda maziko, ukanangobweretsa chisoni chachikulu kwa wokonzansoyo. Kuti ntchito ya Kumwamba ikhale yonyozeka kwambiri, kuiphatikiza ndi kutengeka konyozeka, kunawoneka mochuluka kuposa momwe iye akanapiririra. Kumbali ina, Muntzer ndi atsogoleri onse a chipandukocho anada Luther chifukwa chakuti iye sanali kokha kutsutsa ziphunzitso zawo ndi kukana zonena zawo za kuuziridwa kwaumulungu, komanso anawalengeza iwo opandukira ulamuliro wa boma. Pobwezera, iwo anamdzudzula monga wachinyengo wonyozeka. Zikuoneka kuti anakopa udani wa akalonga ndi anthu.

Otsatira a Roma anakondwera ndi kuyembekezera chiwonongeko choyandikira cha Kukonzanso, ndipo anaimba mlandu Luther kaamba ka zolakwa zimene anachita zotheka kuwongolera. Mwa kunena zabodza kuti analakwiridwa, chipani chotengeka maganizocho chinakwanitsa kumvera chisoni anthu ambiri. Monga momwe zimakhalira kaŵirikaŵiri ndi awo amene atenga mbali yolakwika, analingaliridwa kukhala ofera chikhulupiriro. Awo amene anachita zonse zomwe akanatha kuwononga ntchito ya Kukonzanso Chotero anachitiridwa chifundo ndi kutamandidwa monga mikhole ya nkhanza ndi kuponderezedwa. Zonsezi zinali ntchito ya Satana, wosonkhezeredwa ndi mzimu wa chipanduko umodzimodziwo umene unaonekera koyamba kumwamba.

Kufunitsitsa kwa Satana kukhala wamkulu kunayambitsa mikangano pakati pa angelo. Lusifara wamphamvu, “mwana wa m’bandakucha,” anafuna ulemu ndi ulamuliro wochuluka kuposa ngakhale Mwana wa Mulungu analandira; ndipo popanda kupatsidwa ichi, adatsimikiza mtima kupandukira boma lakumwamba. Chotero iye anatembenukira kwa makamu a angelo, kudandaula ponena za chisalungamo cha Mulungu, nalengeza kuti iye analakwiridwa kwakukulu. Ndi mabodza ake anabweretsa gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a angelo onse akumwamba kumbali yake; ndipo chinyengo chawo chinali cholimba kotero kuti sakanatha kuwongoleredwa; iwo anamamatira kwa Lusifara ndipo anathamangitsidwa kumwamba pamodzi ndi iye.

Chiyambireni kugwa kwake, Satana wapitirizabe ntchito imodzimodziyo yachipanduko ndi yonama. Iye nthawi zonse akugwira ntchito yosocheretsa maganizo a anthu ndi kuwatcha uchimo chilungamo ndi chilungamo tchimo. Ntchito yake yakhala yopambana chotani nanga! Ndi kaŵirikaŵiri chotani nanga mmene atumiki okhulupirika a Mulungu aunjikidwa ndi chidzudzulo ndi chitonzo chifukwa chakuti mopanda mantha amaimirira chowonadi! Amuna amene ali atumiki a Satana okha amayamikiridwa ndi kusimidwa ndipo amawonedwa ngati ofera chikhulupiriro. Koma amene ayenera kulemekezedwa chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwawo kwa Mulungu ndi kuchirikizidwa amasalidwa ndipo amakayikiridwa ndi kusakhulupirira. Kulimbana kwa Satana sikunathe pamene anathamangitsidwa kumwamba; yakhala ikupitirira kuyambira zaka zana kufikira zaka zana, kufikira lerolino mu 1883.

Pamene maganizo anu atengedwa kukhala mau a Mulungu

Aphunzitsi otengeka amadzilola okha kutsogozedwa ndi zowona ndipo amatcha ganizo lililonse lamalingaliro liwu la Mulungu; chifukwa chake adapita monyanyira. “Yesu,” iwo anatero, “analamulira ophunzira ake kuti akhale ngati ana; choncho ankavina m’misewu, kuwomba m’manja mpaka kuponyana mumchenga. Ena anawotcha Mabaibulo awo, akumafuula kuti, “Kalatayo imapha, koma Mzimu umapereka moyo!” Atumikiwo ankachita zinthu mwaphokoso kwambiri ndiponso mopanda ulemu pa guwa, ndipo nthawi zina ankadumpha kuchoka pa guwa n’kuloŵa mu mpingo. Mwanjira imeneyi iwo anafuna kusonyeza mwachiwonekere kuti mitundu yonse ndi malamulo anachokera kwa Satana ndi kuti inali ntchito yawo kuthyola goli lirilonse ndi kusonyeza malingaliro awo mowona.

Luther anatsutsa molimba mtima zolakwa izi ndipo analengeza ku dziko kuti kukonzanso kunali kosiyana kotheratu ndi chinthu chosokonekera ichi. Komabe, iye anapitirizabe kuimbidwa mlandu wa nkhanzazi ndi anthu amene ankafuna kusalana ndi ntchito yake.

Rationalism, Chikatolika, kutengeka ndi Chiprotestanti poyerekeza

Luther anateteza chowonadi mopanda mantha motsutsana ndi kuukira kochokera kumbali zonse. Mawu a Mulungu atsimikizira kukhala chida champhamvu pa nkhondo iliyonse. Ndi mawu amenewo iye analimbana ndi mphamvu yodziŵika yekha ya papa ndi filosofi yolingalira bwino ya akatswiri, pamene anaima molimba ngati thanthwe motsutsana ndi kutengeka maganizo kumene kunafuna kupezerapo mwayi pa Kukonzanso.

Chilichonse cha zinthu zosiyanitsa izi mwa njira yakeyake chimalepheretsa mawu otsimikizika a ulosi ndi kukweza nzeru za anthu ku magwero a choonadi chachipembedzo ndi chidziwitso: (1) Kulingalira kumachititsa kulingalira ndikukupangitsa kukhala muyeso wa chipembedzo. (2) Chiroma Katolika chimati kwa papa wake wamkulu kudzoza kosalekeza kochokera kwa atumwi ndi kosasinthika ku mibadwo yonse. Mwanjira imeneyi, mtundu uliwonse wa kuwoloka malire ndi katangale umaloledwa ndi chovala choyera cha ntchito yautumwi. (3) Chisonkhezero chonenedwa ndi Müntzer ndi otsatira ake chimachokera ku magwero ena apamwamba kuposa malingaliro amalingaliro, ndipo chisonkhezero chake chimapeputsa ulamuliro wonse waumunthu kapena waumulungu. (4) Komabe, Chikristu choona chimadalira Mawu a Mulungu monga nkhokwe yaikulu ya chowonadi chouziridwa ndiponso monga muyezo ndi mwala wotsimikizira wa zouziridwa zonse.
