Nguva yekuverenga: 15 maminitsi
Muparidzi akanga asingakwanisi kuwana nzira yake
Zvakaitika muna 1999. Mushandi wekambani yeAdventist inotsikisa akanzwa nyaya yekutendeuka kwangu kubva muungochani. Akazondibvunza kana ndaigona kunyora pasi uye kutumira manyoro kumutsikisi. Chinyorwa chakadaro chingave chishandiso chakakosha mupalette yemabhuku echechi yedu. Manyoro aifanira kuendeswa mukati memavhiki mana kana ndaida chero mukana wekuburitswa.
Ndakanyengetera zvikuru uye ndakanyora maawa gumi namana pazuva. Izvi zvakaita kuti ndikwanise kuendesa gwaro racho nenguva. Zvino kwakauya kumirira - zuva nezuva rakapfuura, vhiki nevhiki, rakashanduka kuita mwedzi. Ndakazonetsekana zvekuti ndakafona ndichida kubvunza.
"Oh! Hausati wagamuchira zvinyorwa zvako here? Inofanira kudzoserwa kwamuri."
"Why wadzoswa?" ndakabvunza.
'Zvakarambwa. Dare Remabhuku rakasarudza kuti maonero ari pakati nepakati anofanira kubudiswa,' ndakadzidza kudaro.
"Ndezvipi zvimwe zvakadzikama maonero?" ndakabvunza. "Ndakabvunzwa Meine tumira nyaya. Uri kuti hazvina kugadzikana here?’ Ndakavhunduka.
“Aiwa, ndakangofunga kuti zviri nani kuisa nyaya dzinoverengeka mubhuku rimwe kuti dzipe maonero akadzikama,” ndiyo yaiva mhinduro yacho.
Ndakazvibvunza kuti, “Unofanira kudzikamisa nyaya dzekukunda nekubudirira nenyaya dzekukundikana here? Kana zvakadaro, nei?'
Kubva panguva iyoyo zvichienda mberi, ndakasangana neiyi enigmatic yakadzikama maonero nguva nenguva. Makore gumi namashanu apfuura kubva ipapo. Nguva nenguva basa rangu, mapurojekiti angu kana masemina angu anorambwa nekuti nyaya yeungochani uye nharaunda inonzi inoda maonero akaenzana. Pakupedzisira, sarudzo yangu chete yaive yekuburitsa bhuku rangu nemuparidzi wekunze. Vakazoritengesa zvakare kuvabudisi veAdventist kuti rigovererwe munzvimbo dzose dzechiRungu-mutauro dzeAdventist book centers pasi rose.
Kungobvunzurudzwa chete, uye zvakadaro kukanganisa kukuru
Makore mashoma apfuura ndakakokwa kuti ndigovere uchapupu hwangu pamusangano wewanano, ungochani, uye chechi. Asi munhu mumwechete anotenda mune yaimbova gay-aigara-ngochani dzidziso yebhaibheri, yandisingagoverani, akakwanisa kundizvidza zvakakwana kuti ndideredze kutaura kwangu kubvunzurudzo. Munhu iyeye akabva atora nzvimbo yangu papanera pamberi peboka revadzidzi kuitira kuti "maonero akaenzana" abudiswe.
(Kubva ipapo, vatsoropodzi uye vanopokana vakaramba vachindiramba semunhu anoda kukwana nekuti, kubva muruzivo rwangu rwekukunda ungochani, ndinotenda uye ndinoparidza kuti isu kubva uye kwete in zvivi zvinoponeswa.)
Zvino sezvo nguva yangu yakanga yagurwa, ndakanyengetera kuti Ishe aishandise zvizere. Saka akadaro. Kutaura idi, muhurukuro yokupedzisira, mukurukuri ipapo akati, “Apo Ron Woolsey akamira pano pausiku hwokuzarura, achisimudza Bhaibheri uye achitaura kuti akanga awana muShoko raMwari zvose zvaaida kuti afuratire uye aparadzane noungochani. , iyo yakanga iri pfupiso yakanaka yemusangano wose."
Yunivhesiti inotamburira
Pandakakokwa kune imwe yemayunivhesiti edu eAdventist, ndakasangana zvakare neiyo "enigmatic maonero akaenzana." Kwasara mwedzi yakati kuti zuva risati rasvika, kukokwa kwakamiswa mumakomiti nekuti nyaya yangu yainetsa.
"Hongu, asi imbomira! Tiripakati pekupokana kukuru…' ndakapindura.
"Kune mativi maviri kune zvese..."
"Zvakanaka! Zvino sei tisingaunzi divi rechipiri, divi raMwari...?
Ndakasimbisa kuti ndakanga ndadzidza payunivhesiti imwe cheteyo uye ndakawana dhigirii rangu rezvidzidzo zvoumwari zvine mbiri. Ndinoshumirawo semufundisi musangano. Kana mibatanidzwa yakatwasuka/ngochani ichitenderwa pakambasi, sei ndisingakwanisi kupa maonero aMwari pakambasi?
Pakupedzisira ndakawana mvumo uye ndakabvumirwa kuunza shoko rangu kuboka revadzidzi, iro rakagamuchirwa noushamwari nefariro huru nokuonga kwechokwadi.
Pluralism paMusangano weVaparidzi
Pamusangano wekupedzisira weNorth America Division yevashumiri uye musangano wekubuda muAustin, Texas musangano mukuru usati wasvika, nyaya mbiri dzakanyanya kubata pfungwa dzangu: kugadzwa kwevakadzi neungochani. Kunyangwe mubvunzo wekugadzwa wakadzidzwa zvakanyanya mumakore mashoma apfuura nekurudziro yehutungamiriri hwekereke, "pro side" yakasimudzirwa zviri pamutemo, "con side" haina kufuratirwa, kunyimwa, kunyange kudzvinyirirwa.
Masemina matatu akasiyana akapihwa pamusoro pe LGBT. Coming Out Ministries pakutanga yaifanirwa kunge iine mahwindo maviri, asi imwe yakabviswa nekuda kwekuputika kwenyaya. Zvakare takanyengetera kuna Ishe kuti tishandise zvizere nguva yataizowana. Ndinotenda akadaro.
Zvisinei, mumwe musangano une shoko rakasiyana zvikuru wakapiwa nguva yakapetwa kaviri kupfuura yataiva. Vashanyi avo (seni) vakapinda masemina ese maviri vakaratidza kuvhiringidzika kwavo kwatiri. Ndakabva ndangopindura kuti ese masemina anounza meseji yakafanana, asi kusvika padanho. Imwe seminari yakaunza shoko rerudo nekugamuchirwa. Kugamuchirwa naMwari, zvisinei, kunotsamira pakupa kuda kwedu zvizere kwaAri, uye papfundo rino misangano miviri yakanga ine mitoo yakasiyana. Mharidzo yeComing Out Ministries inounzawo rudo nekugamuchirwa, asi inotaurawo nezvekudiwa kwekutendeuka, kuzvipira, kuva mudzidzi, kuchinja hunhu, uye kukunda chivi cheungochani sezvimwe zvese. Nemamwe manzwi: kubva muvhangeri.
Imwe seminari yakaunza zvipupuriro zve "lesbian Adventist," "gay church elder," vabereki vengochani yakaroorwa nemurume wengochani, uye vaive ne "gay Adventist" vanoita ratidziro yesimba umo munhu wese Anoedza nemasevhisi. kubatsira ngochani kukunda uye shanduko zvakashorwa. Hapana kana chapupu chimwe chekukunda chakapihwa. Mumwe chiremba wepfungwa akatopupura kuti hapana waaiziva akakunda ungochani. Vamwe vateereri vaiziva ini vakatendeuka ndokunongedza kwandiri. Nokuti ndakaponeswa 24 makore apfuura uye ndave ndakaroora 23 makore ikozvino. Ndiri baba vevana vashanu.
Mumwe wevarongi akatiudza kuti kune zvinopfuura pfungwa imwe pamusoro peungochani. Nokudaro, "maonero akaenzana" aifanira kuunzwa. Asi maonero akadzikama aya akavhiringidza vakawanda.
Mhinduro dzakafuridzirwa kumubvunzo wekuenzanisa
Pakuunza Shoko raMwari, kuri madikanwa here kuwana dzikamo kupfurikidza nokupa nguva yakaenzana kururamo yezvamatongerwe enyika, mufungo wazvino uno, sayenzi yenzanga, ndangariro, uye ndangariro? Ko nzvimbo yaMwari haina kuenzana zvakadaro here?
“Mwoyo unonyengera kwazvo uye une utsinye; ndiani angazviziva? Ini, Jehovha, ndinonzvera mwoyo, ndinoidza ndangariro, kuti ndipe mumwe nomumwe zvakafanira nzira dzake, uye zvakafanira zvibereko zvamabasa ake.”— Jeremia 17,9:XNUMX;
“Hakuna unozvinyengera! Kana umwe pakati penyu achizviona sewakachenjera panyika ino, ngaave benzi kuti ave wakachenjera. Nokuti uchenjeri hwenyika ino upenzi pamberi paMwari; nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Unobata vakachenjera pamano avo. Uyezve: Ishe unoziva ndangariro dzavakachenjera, kuti hadzina maturo.”—1 VaKorinte 3,18:20-XNUMX.
Bhaibheri rinotaurawo nezve "kuenzanisa":
“Zviyereso zviviri zvinonyangadza Jehovha, uye zviyero zvinonyengera hazvina kunaka.” ( Zvirevo 20,23:XNUMX )
“Chiyero chenhema chinonyangadza Jehovha, asi kurema kwakakwana kunomufadza.” ( Zvirevo 11,1:XNUMX )
“Asi izvi ndizvo zvinoreva rugwaro rwakanyorwa, kuti: Mene, mene, tekel upharsin! Izvi ndizvo zvinorehwa neshoko rokuti: MENE zvinoreva kuti: Mwari akaverenga mazuva oumambo hwenyu akahugumisa. Tekeri zvinoreva kuti: Wakayerwa pachikero ukawanikwa wakaderera!” ( Dhanieri 5,25:28-XNUMX )
“Pazuva rekutongwa tichasunungurwa kana kutongwa maererano nemabasa edu. Mutongi wenyika yose achazivisa kutonga kwake kwakarurama. Haagoni kushatiswa uye haagoni kunyengedzwa. Uyo akasika munhu uye ari muridzi wenyika nepfuma yazvo yose - anoyera hunhu pachikero chekururama kusingaperi.Zviratidzo Zvenguva, October 8.10.1885, 13, ndima XNUMX; Kudzokorora uye Herald 19.1.1886)
“Zvino parakazarura chisimbiso chechitatu, ndakanzwa chisikwa chipenyu chechitatu chichiti: “Uya uone! Uye ndakaona, uye tarira, bhiza dema, naiye akanga agere pamusoro paro akanga ane chikero muruoko rwake.” ( Zvakazarurwa 6,5:XNUMX , NW )
Zviri pachena kuti kuenzana kwaMwari hakusi kuparidza maonero maviri anopikisana, asi kubvuma chokwadi, kuteerera mutemo, uye kuita kuda kwaMwari kuburikidza nesu.
“Havazi vose vanoti kwandiri: Ishe, Ishe! achapinda muumambo hwokudenga, asi ani naani anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kudenga tut. Vazhinji vachati kwandiri nezuva iro, Ishe, Ishe, hatina kuporofita muzita renyu, nokudzinga madhimoni muzita renyu, nokuita mabasa esimba mazhinji muzita renyu here? Uye ipapo ndichapupura kwavari ndichiti: Handina kutongokuzivai; Ibvai kwandiri, imwi vapanduki; mumwe nomumwe zvino unonzwa mashoko angu awa naawo tutNdichamufananidza nemurume akachenjera akavaka imba yake paruware.”— Mateu 7,21:24-XNUMX .
Isu tose tafanana netsvina, uye kururama kwedu kose senguo ine tsvina. Isu tose taoma semashizha, zvivi zvedu zvinotibvisa semhepo.”— Isaya 64,5:XNUMX;
Tinogona chete kururamiswa muna iye ane zita rokuti “Jehovha kururama kwedu”. ( Jeremia 23,6:33,16; XNUMX:XNUMX )
Tinowana mwero wakakwana mukururamiswa nekuchenurwa, mukuregerera/kuregerera nekucheneswa/shanduko.
Kururama kwaJesu kunoverengerwa kana kuverengerwa kwatiri kana tareurura nekutendeuka. Kururama kwaJesu kunoiswawo patiri kana kusikwa matiri nenyasha dzake nesimba rinoshandura apo patinozvipira kwaari uye nebasa rake matiri.
“Asi kana tichireurura zvivi zvedu, iye wakatendeka, wakarurama, nokudaro kuti unotikanganwira zvivi zvedu, nokutinatsa pakusarurama kwose.” ( 1 Johane 1,9:XNUMX ) Tinoona kuenzana here apa?
“Achatinzwira ngoni zvakare, akurire zvakaipa zvedu. Muchakandira zvivi zvavo zvose mukudzika kwegungwa!” ( Mika 7,19:XNUMX )

Harisi danda rakatsva rakabviswa mumoto here? Jesu akanga akapfeka nguo dzisina kuchena akamira pamberi pengirozi.’ ( Zekaria 3,2:3-3,4 ) Satani akanga aratidza vanhu vaMwari vakasarudzwa uye vakatendeka sevakaremerwa netsvina nechivi. Aigona kudoma zvitadzo zvega zvemunhu ane mhosva. Akanga asina here kushandisa mubatanidzwa wake wose wezvakaipa kuti amuteye muzvivi chaizvo izvi kuburikidza nehunyanzvi hwake hwekunyengedza? Asi vakanga vatendeuka, vakanga vagamuchira kururama kwaJesu. Naizvozvo vakamira pamberi paMwari vakapfeka nguwo dzekururama kwaJesu. Akatanga kuti kuna vakanga vamire pamberi pake, Mubvisei nguo dzine tsvina. Iye akati kwaari, “Tarira, ndakubvisira chivi chako, uye ndakupfekedza nguo dzako.” ( Zekaria XNUMX:XNUMX ) Chivi chose chavakaita chakakanganwirwa, uye vakamira pamberi paMwari akasarudzwa uye akasarudzwa. vakatendeka, vasina mhosva uye vakakwana sokunge vasina kumbotadza.”Kudzokorora uye Herald, Nyamavhuvhu 29, 1893 ndima 3)

Ipapo, pashure pomugumo wehondo huru paZioni, iye akaona kuti ‘avo vakabuda savakundi... vakamira sei pagungwa regirazi, vane udimbwa hwaMwari. Vakaimba rwiyo rwaMosesi muranda waMwari, norwiyo rweGwayana.’ ( Zvakazarurwa 15,2:3-XNUMX ) ( Zvakazarurwa XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX )Mabasa eVapositori, 489)
