Ukusa kombhikisho omkhulu wokugcina kuqubuka ngalolu suku oluyingqophamlando. Ukusa kungemuva kwethu, ukukhanya okuthambile kokuntwela kokusa kokuqala kwalombhikisho onamandla owandulela ukubuya kukaJesu kukhanya phezu kweJalimane nomhlaba. Ngosuku lwesikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-500 kwaqala iNguquko, ukuvuselelwa kwenhlangano enkulu, ye-eschatological Advent kuyonikezwa ukukhanya okuzobonwa yisintu sonke emandleni aso okuphulukisa.

Namuhla ibhala ngokufa kobuProthestani obusemthethweni. Umbhikisho wesonto labavangeli ungowomlando. NgoMashi 2014, izwe lamaKristu laqaphela lapho uMbhishobhi waseSheshi uTony Palmer etshela abameleli abaqavile benhlangano yevangeli neyokuphilisa: "Umbhikisho usuphelile." Isimemezelo Esihlanganyelwe Ngemfundiso Yokulungisiswa phakathi kweLutheran World Federation kanye neSonto LamaRoma Katolika ngo-1999. Sekudlule iminyaka engu-3 1/2 kusukela enkulumweni engokomlando kaPalmer, isikhathi esifushane lapho umbhikisho waba khona nasemasontweni amaHuss namaWaldens, abanduleli abakhulu beNguquko. isiphelile. Cishe zonke izinhlanganyelo zesonto ezavela eNguqukweni ziye zawuqeda ngokuphumelelayo umbhikisho owawenza waba khona. UDe jure wabathola Isitatimende esihlanganyelwe Omunye owasayina eMkhandlwini Womhlaba Wamasonto Esonto LamaWeseli ngoJulayi 23, 2006, futhi ngo-July 04, 2017 emkhosini wamasonto e-Wittenberg, i-World Community of Reformed Churches nayo yajoyina lesi simemezelo. Ukulahlwa kwezimfundiso zasendulo mayelana nombuzo obaluleke kakhulu wendlela yomuntu yensindiso yinto yesikhathi esidlule ephepheni.

Ngokusemthethweni, awasekho »amaProthestani«. Lesi yisibonakaliso esikhulu sanamuhla. “Libuyisana” neRoma emfundisweni eyinhloko yokulungisiswa, ngomoya wokuhlangana kwamasonto onke, iBandla lamaProthestani libheka emuva kulokho okwenzeka eminyakeni engama-500 edlule. Lonke usuku lokukhumbula iNguquko, olwaqala esikhathini esingangonyaka owedlule namuhla, lwaphawulwa ngemikhosi yamasonto okuhloswe ngawo ukukhombisa umhlaba wonke: izimbangela zokuhlukana kwesonto “okubuhlungu” eNtshonalanga seziqediwe.

Ngakho-ke inkonzo yanamuhla yomkhosi eWittenberg ibonakala ngokuvela, nokuqedwa kwenkolo yobuKristu, ngomqondo wesidlo esigcwele seSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa kanye ne-Ekaristi phakathi kwamaBandla amaProthestani namaRoma Katolika, womabili la masonto ngokusobala ayasilangazelela. “Ubunye obubonakalayo ezinhlobonhlobo ezibuyisanayo”, nokungezwani okungase kusale, kodwa osekulahlekelwe isimo sawo sokuhlukanisa amabandla - womabili la mabandla azibophezele kulo mgomo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lokhu kuzoholela ekugcineni ekuhlanganisweni kwamasonto noma cha.

Ezingeni lemfundiso yenkolo, ngaphandle kombuzo we-Ekaristi, umbuzo wokuqonda inkonzo kanye neBandla kuphela, ohlangene kakhulu nawo, unomlingiswa ohlukanisa amasonto engxoxweni ye-ecumenical. Umsebenzi wanamuhla wenkolo yobukholwa uzogxila kakhulu kulokhu kunangaphambili. Nokho, kuPapa uFrancis, ukuvumelana okusashoda lapha akubonakali kuyisithiyo sangempela endleleni eya ebudlelwaneni besonto “eTafuleni LeNkosi”. Ekhuluma namaLuthela ase-Italy ngoNovemba 15, 2015, wathi: »Inkolo eyodwa, ubhapathizo olulodwa, iNkosi eyodwa, ngakho uPawulu uyasitshela, futhi kulokho ufinyelela iziphetho [...] Uma sinobhapathizo olufanayo, kufanele sihambisane. « (umthombo) Ngomhla zi-03 kuMfumfu wezi-2017, i-Vatican Radio yabika: »Sichaza indlela uPapa uFrancis acabanga ngayo ‘ukuhlanganiswa kabusha’ kobuKristu okungaba khona - futhi ngokwenza lokho bathole okumangazayo ukuthi, kuFrancis, amaKristu sekuyisikhathi eside ebumbene.« (umthombo)

KuSihlalo WoMkhandlu Wesonto LeVangeli eJalimane (EKD), u-Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, kukhona amathemba aqinile emizamweni yamabandla kaPapa wamanje, othatha "indima ebalulekile" ku-ecumenism futhi "[unikeza] zonke izizathu kwenze lokho, futhi ulindele lukhulu ngokuzayo,” kusho uBedford-Strohm etshela iGerman Press Agency eRoma ngosuku olwandulela izolo. Lokhu kwaqhubeka ngokuthi: »Umholi we-EKD kanye nombhishobhi wesifunda saseBavaria uhlela ukubhalela upapa incwadi kanye nosihlalo Wenkomfa Yababhishobhi BaseJalimane, uKhadinali Reinhard Marx, futhi amtshele ngenqubo yamasonto onke eJalimane.« (umthombo). U-Marx, owabonga i-EKD ngo-Okthoba 10 ngokuqondisa kwamabandla emikhosini yokugubha iNguquko (umthombo), wakhuluma ngeSonto ukuze kuhlanganiswe amasonto obuKristu. »Sekuyiminyaka sikhankasela lokhu. Yilokho engikuthandazelayo, yilokho engikusebenzelayo,” kusho uMarx etshela iphephandaba Isithombe sika-Sontag (umthombo).

Ukubhikisha kwesikhathi esidlule kwabona ubunye obungenakuhlukaniswa embuzweni wokulungisiswa noma ukuhlengwa nakulowo wokuqonda ibandla nesikhundla, ekucacisweni okuncike kukho ukuhlanganyela etafuleni lesonto eSidlweni SeNkosi Sakusihlwa. Isivumo sikaLuther sika-1537 sasisekelwe kulokhu kuqonda: "Ngakho-ke sinjalo futhi sizohlala sihlukanisile phakade futhi siphikisana nomunye nomunye." Ingxoxo neVatican Radio wamemezela: "Akekho ongasehlukanisa!"

Kumguquli, kwakungekhona nje kuphela ukuthi imfundiso yokulungisiswa yayingaxoxiswana, kodwa futhi nokulinganisa kombuzo kwakungenakwenzeka. Kuye, isizathu salokhu kwakuwukuthi ukuqonda kwamaRoma Katolika ngokulungisiswa kwakungekho sisekelo eBhayibhelini, kodwa kwakungabhekisela kuphela esikweni lesonto. Ngisho nomkhandlu ovamile ekugcineni wawuyoba usizo, njengoba uLuther akubona kusenesikhathi, uma imfundiso nomkhuba wokholo ‘bekuxoxiswane ngakho’ futhi kunqunywe ngesisekelo sodwa semiBhalo Engcwele. Ngenxa yokuthi “ngisho nemikhandlu ingakwazi futhi yenza iphutha,” kwakuyinkulumo yakhe yoguquko kuyi-Leipzig Disputation ngo-1519. Ngemva kokwehlukana kokugcina neRoma ekupheleni kuka-1520, wonke umsekeli weNguquko wayecacile njengoLuther ngokwakhe: kuphela ngeBhayibheli njengoba kunjalo. okuwukuphela kwesimiso esibophezelayo - i-sola scriptura - kuzoba nokuvuselelwa kwenhlanganyelo yesonto neRoma. KumaRoma, nokho, lokhu bekungasho lutho ngaphandle kokwenqaba ukuqonda kwabo ibandla nenkonzo. Le ntengo yayiphezulu kakhulu eRoma eMkhandlwini waseTrent (1545-1563). ULuther wafa ezigabeni zokuqala zalowo mkhandlu, owakubona ngokucacile ukwehluleka kwawo. NgoJeremiya wakwazi ukusho: “Besifuna ukuphulukisa iBabiloni, kodwa aliphulukiswanga.” ( Jeremiya 51,9:XNUMX ) IBabiloni lingase likwazi ukuphulukisa iBabiloni.

Ngempela, “yebo” weqiniso wamaRoma Katolika ekuqondeni kweNguquko ukulungisiswa kwakuyoholela ngokungagwemeki ekuzihlakazeni kwalelobandla. Lokhu kungaba kuphela »kukhohliwe« engxoxweni yamabandla ngoba ukuqonda kweSonto lamaLuthela ngencazelo yesimiso seSola Scripura kushintshile. Embhalweni oyisisekelo woMkhandlu we-EKD ukulungisiswa kanye nenkululeko. Iminyaka engama-500 yeNguquko 2017 is it [called:

»I-sola scriptura ayisaqondwa ngendlela efanayo namuhla njengoba yayinjalo ngesikhathi seNguquko. Ngokungafani nabaguquli, abantu namuhla bayazi ukuthi ukwakhiwa kwemibhalo yeBhayibheli ngayinye kanye nohlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli ngokwalo kuyinqubo yesiko. Ukuphikisana okudala phakathi 'kwemiBhalo yodwa' kanye 'nombhalo nesiko', okwakusanquma iNguquko kanye ne-Counter-Reformation, akusasebenzi ngendlela okwakwenzeka ngayo ngekhulu leshumi nesithupha... Kusukela ngekhulu leshumi nesikhombisa, imibhalo yeBhayibheli ibilokhu ingumlando. futhi kucwaningwe ngokujulile. Ngakho-ke ngeke besakwazi ukuqondwa ‘njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu’ njengoba kwakunjalo ngesikhathi sabaguquli. Abashisekeli benguquko ngokuyisisekelo bacabanga ukuthi imibhalo yeBhayibheli ngempela yanikezwa uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe. Uma kubhekwa izinguqulo ezihlukene zesigaba sombhalo noma ukutholwa kwezingqimba ezihlukene zombhalo, lo mbono ngeke usakwazi ukugcinwa.« (ikhasi 83, 84)

Njengoba iBandla lamaLuthela selilahlekelwe isisekelo esake laholela eNguqukweni, selikwazile ukuya eRoma ngokomgomo kuyo yonke imibuzo. Isisekelo salokhu yindlela yokuhumusha ebaluleke kakhulu emlandweni, okuyindinganiso kuwo womabili amabandla namuhla. Uhlukanisa phakathi “kwemiBhalo Engcwele” “neZwi likaNkulunkulu,” elingafani neBhayibheli, kodwa elizwakala kulo. Ngamagama ombhalo wesisekelo:

»Kuze kube namuhla, abantu kukhulunywa ngabo, ngale mibhalo nangaphansi kwayo futhi kuthintwa emnyombeni - njengoba nje kwachazwa kaningi kumfundiso yenkolo yeNguquko njengophawu lwezwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngalo mqondo, le mibhalo isengathathwa ngokuthi ›IZwi likaNkulunkulu‹namuhla. Lokhu akuwona ukwahlulela okungaqondakali, kodwa incazelo yokuhlangenwe nakho ngale mibhalo: Ngisho nanamuhla, lapho abantu befunda noma bezwa le mibhalo - hhayi nje ngokuzenzakalelayo, kodwa ngokuphindaphindiwe - banomuzwa wokuthi iqukethe iqiniso, iqiniso ngabo, umhlaba. noNkulunkulu obasiza baphile. Ngakho-ke, le mibhalo isakha uhlu lwezincwadi zeBandla.« (ikhasi 85, 86)

Inqubo ye-ecumenical ingaqondwa kuphela ngaphansi kwalezi zimo. Kungaphansi kwalezi zimo kuphela lapho umlingiswa ogxile ekuhlanganyeleni womcimbi wanamuhla, okhunjulwa ngokuzithoba amasonto, ezombusazwe kanye nomphakathi.

Nalokho Isimemezelo Esihlanganyelwe Ngemfundiso Yokulungisiswa kwakungavela kuphela ngokufulathela isimiso se-Reformation sola scriptura, futhi kuzocaca kunoma yimuphi umuntu ovamile, ngaphandle kokubandlulula nothando ngeqiniso, ahlolisise amaqiniso abanzi ngokuningiliziwe. Kangakanani-ke kumphathi onolwazi ngefa lobuProthestani?

Kodwa lapho ibandla labavangeli ligubha khona uLuther lazihlukanisa nezinto ezimqoka zikaLuther, lapho, lapho, ngophawu lweminyaka engama-500 labunjwa, lembula obala ifa lalo elithengiwe kakhulu futhi libe yisisulu "sokukhwabanisa" (Daniyeli 8,25:XNUMX) salowo mbuso ifa kuphela igazi nezinyembezi kanye nokuma kwabo okuye kwahlala kungashintshile, inkulumo yokufa yeNguquko iye yazwakala phezu kweWittenberg “entsha”. Umbhikisho usuphelile ngokusemthethweni futhi kusobala ukuthi ungumlando njenganamuhla.

Nokho, ngalokho, uphawu lokuphindukuzalwa kobuProthestani luyanikezwa namuhla! Isibonakaliso esingokwesiprofetho sokuvuselelwa kombhikisho, owaqala eCastle Church eWittenberg ngokushaywa ngesando, saphuma ngodumo olungenakuqhathaniswa ezindebeni zikaLuther eWorms ngo-1521 futhi sakhala ngamandla emilonyeni yezikhulu zaseJalimane eSpeyer ngo-1529, ngo-XNUMX. ihora elihle lomlando, njengaseculweni le-Bach.

Eqinisweni, akukho lutho ngemva kwanamuhla oluyophinde lufane. Ukukhulelwa okungokomfanekiso ka-Okthoba 31, 2017 akunakudlula: lokho abaholi besonto nabafundisi bezenkolo ababhala phansi ephepheni ngo-1999, ngenxa yamashumi eminyaka omsebenzi we-ecumenical, manje uthumela imisebe yayo "ekhanyayo" emhlabeni wonke. Zingabambisi beMithetho yangeSonto, ukuntwela kokusa okukhohlisayo kwezwe elibuyisane noNkulunkulu kanye nalo ngokwalo, isandulelo se“Reich yeminyaka eyi-1000« esondela ngokushesha »nokuthula nokulondeka« kuwo wonke umhlaba.

“Umbuso” lapho, nokho, kungeke kube nendawo yanoma ubani ozokholwa njengoba uMartin Luther ayekholelwa.

Amanga kaTetzel awazange ahlale. I-tiara kaPapa yanyakaza njengoba indela yase-Augustinian ithatha ipeni layo. Ngokuba uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawukulesosiba. Indlu eyakhiwe “phezu kwesihlabathi” ( Mathewu 7,26:20,8 ) kumelwe izidilikele ngokwayo. 'Bathembela ezinqoleni namahhashi; kodwa siyalikhumbula igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.” ( IHubo XNUMX:XNUMX ) “Amagama« enkolo yobuKristu asekelwe esisekelweni esiqinile njengaleso uTetseli ayemi kuso. Kodwa ngisho nomsebenzi onamandla kunayo yonke ngeke ube khona ngaphandle kokuba usekelwe eqinisweni.

"i-ecumenism"! Sekuphenduke inkomba yekusasa leYurophu nomhlaba. Umlayezo othunyelwa eWittenberg namuhla. Kodwa ayinalo izinga leqiniso elaletha iNguquko.

“Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, lokhu kushaywa kwendela yaseWittenberg kwanyakazisa isisekelo sobupapa. Abasekeli bakhe wabakhubaza futhi wethuka. Wavusa izinkulungwane ebuthongweni bamaphutha nezinkolelo-ze. Imibuzo ayiphakamisa emibhalweni yakhe yasakazeka kulo lonke elaseJalimane ngezinsuku ezimbalwa, futhi emasontweni ambalwa yangena kubo bonke ubuKristu.” ( Ellen White, Izimpawu Zezikhathi, June 14, 1883) “Izwi likaLuther lananela ezintabeni nasezigodini ... Lazamazamisa iYurophu njengokuzamazama komhlaba.” ( Ibid., February 19, 1894)

Ukukhala okukhulu okuvela kuSambulo 18 kuzofinyelela zonke izizwe zalomhlaba ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu. Kuzoshukumisa izinhliziyo zosopolitiki bethu futhi kuholele wonke umholi nesakhamuzi sezwe lethu kanye nawo wonke amanye amazwe esinqumweni. Njengasezinsukwini ezilandelayo ngo-Okthoba 31, 1517.

“Emva kwalokho ngabona ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inegunya elikhulu, futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa inkazimulo yayo. Yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, yathi: “Liwile, liwile iBabiloni elikhulu, libe yindawo yokuhlala amademoni, nentolongo yabo bonke omoya abangcolileyo, netilongo lazo zonke izinyoni ezingcolile nezizondwayo. Ngokuba bonke abantu baphuza iwayini elishisayo lobufebe bayo, namakhosi omhlaba aphinga nayo, nabathengisi bomhlaba baceba ngokunotha kwayo okukhulu. Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, funa nibe-ngabahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, funa namukeliswe kuzo izinhlupho zayo. Ngokuba izono zabo zifinyelela ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbule ububi babo.”—IsAmbulo 18,1:5-XNUMX.

Sase sifikile isikhathi sokuba uLuther akhulume lapho, ngemva kokuhlangana noMhlengi wakhe, eqaphela ukuthi lokho okwakusebenza eNkosini yakhe kwakusebenza nakuye: “Mina ngazalwa, futhi ngafika ezweni ukuba ngifakazele iqiniso.” ( Johane 18,37:3,7 ) UJesu wabonisa isithakazelo esiqotho kuye ngokuthi: “Ukuphila okuphakade; XNUMX) Lapho eqonda ngokuguquka kwakhe ukuthi isiphetho saphakade sezigidi zabantu sincike ekushumayeleni ivangeli leqiniso, umShumayeli XNUMX:XNUMX waba umyalo waphezulu ukuba akhulume futhi enze. Akukho okwakungadambisa isifiso sakhe sokusebenzela insindiso yalabo ababemzungezile ngemva kokuhlangana noJesu Kristu mathupha.

Kodwa ukusa kokubhikisha kokugcina, okwabikezelwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu, kuyagqama namuhla, ngalo kanye ihora lapho isandla sobuzalwane seluliwe sisuka eCastle Church eWittenberg siya kumbhishobhi waseRoma. (Inkonzo yokukhulekela yesikhumbuzo seNguquko)

“Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona ukukhanya! Kwaba khona ukukhanya.”— Genesise 1:1,3;
