Ukushiswa kwesidumbu kusanqatshelwe ngokuphelele ebuJudeni nase-Islam. EbuKristwini kwakuyisikhathi esiningi.

Ukushiswa kwesidumbu sekuyisikhathi eside kungavumelekile

Kunezizathu eziningana ezinikeziwe zalokhu:

1. EBhayibhelini ukungcwatshwa kuphela okwakubhekwa njengokuhloniphekile (imibhalo eminingi ethi "ukungcwatshwa", "ithuna").
2. Ukungcwatshwa kuveza ngokusobala inkolelo yokuthi abafileyo balele futhi bayovuka ngoSuku Lokwahlulela lapho “amathuna evuliwe” ( Hezekeli 37,12.13:5,28.29, XNUMX; Johane XNUMX:XNUMX, XNUMX ).
3. Izelelesi ezimbi ikakhulukazi zazishiswa ziphila ( Levitikusi 3:20,14; 21,9:7,25; Joshuwa XNUMX:XNUMX ). Ngenxa yalokho, ukushiswa kwesidumbu somuntu ngokuvamile kwakubhekwa njengento embi kakhulu, egcinelwe abalahlekile, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso.
4. Ngokwesibonelo, ukushiswa kwesidumbu kwenzeka ngemva kokubulawa kwabapristi abakhonza izithombe ( 1 AmaKhosi 13,2:2; 23,20 AmaKhosi 2:34,5; XNUMX IziKronike XNUMX:XNUMX ).
5. Umlilo ufanekisela ukubhujiswa kokugcina echibini lomlilo ( IsAmbulo 19,20:20,10.14.15; XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX-XNUMX ).
6. Upapa wasebenzisa lokhu kuqonda eNkantolo Yamacala Ezihlubuki ukuze abulale abahlubuki.
7. Ukushiswa kwesidumbu kwaba futhi kubhekwa njengokungcwatshwa okuthandwayo ezinkolweni zaseMpumalanga Ekude (Inkathi Entsha) futhi kuhloswe ngayo ukukhulula umphefumulo emzimbeni. Ukushiswa kwesidumbu kwakusakazeke kabanzi phakathi kwamaGreki namaRoma ezikhathini zasendulo.

Ukushiswa kwesidumbu seNkosi uSawule namadodana akhe?

Kukanye kuphela eBhayibhelini lapho ukushiswa kwesidumbu kutholakala endaweni “enhle”, futhi lokho kuseNkosini uSawule namadodana akhe (1 Samuweli 31,11:13-2). Nokho izidumbu zashiswa zaze zafika emathanjeni kuphela bese zingcwatshwa phela. Izidumbu cishe zashiswa kuphela ngoba zase zivulekele ukubola (21,10.11 Samuweli 2:21,12). Ukushiswa akukhulunywa ngakho emibhalweni emibili efanayo ekhuluma ngokungcwatshwa kukaSawule ( 14 Samuweli 2:10,11-12; XNUMX IziKronike XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ).

Isazi sezenkolo sama-Adventist uGeorge Reid we-Adventist Biblical Research Institute ubhekisela kulesi sigameko lapho ethula ukushiswa kwesidumbu njengendlela esemthethweni ngokweBhayibheli.

Omunye umbhali uveza ukuthi u-Ellen White akasho igama elibi mayelana nokushiswa kwesidumbu lapho echaza lesi senzakalo, kodwa ukhuluma "ngomngcwabo ohloniphekile" (Okhokho nabaProfethi, 682).

Umngcwabo ka-Aaron: ulula futhi uyisibonelo

“Lapho kungcwatshwa umPristi Ophakeme wakwa-Israyeli imiBhalo inikeza ukulandisa okulula: ‘U-Aroni wafela khona, wembelwa khona.’ ( Duteronomi 5:10,6 ) Yeka ukuthi lokhu kungcwatshwa kukaNkulunkulu kwakuhluke kakhulu kangakanani emasikweni anamuhla. kwenziwe ngomyalo we-express. Namuhla, amadoda ezikhundla eziphezulu avame ukungcwatshwa ngobukhazikhazi nobukhazikhazi. Kodwa lapho u-Aroni efa, omunye wamadoda adume kakhulu owake waphila, babili kuphela kubangane bakhe abakhulu ababa khona ekufeni kwakhe nasemngcwabeni wakhe. Lelithuna eliseNtabeni iHori lalifihliwe kuze kube phakade emehlweni ka-Israyeli. UNkulunkulu akadunyiswa ngezenzo ezinkulu nezihlobiso ezibabazekayo ngokuvamile ezinikezwa abafileyo, noma ngezindleko ezimba eqolo zokujikijela izidumbu zabo othulini.’ ( Joh.Okhokho nabaProfethi, 427)

Ngakho-ke ngeke kube okuphikisana neBhayibheli kangako ukuthi umngcwabo uvalwe emphakathini noma iningi lomndeni. Eqinisweni, uMose wayengenabo nhlobo ofakazi abangabantu (Duteronomi 5:34,6). Ezimweni ezinjalo, nokho, kwakunenkathi yokulila yezinsuku ezingu-30 ( Numeri 4:12,29; Duteronomi 5:34,8 ). Ngakho namuhla kunemigubho evame kakhulu ekude kakhulu namathuna namasonto ambalwa ngemva kosuku lokufa, lapho isikhumbuzo singahlanganiswa nesigijimi sethemba.

Ukukhulisa izidumbu, amathambo noma umlotha?

Ingelosi uMikayeli yalwa noSathane phezu kwesidumbu sikaMose ( Jude 9 ). Ngakho-ke iBhayibheli libonakala lisanikeza incazelo ngomzimba ofile. Embonweni, uHezekeli wabona abantu bevuka emathanjeni afile belele enkundleni yempi (isahluko 37). Ngakho uNkulunkulu akagcini nje ngokuvusa izidumbu, kodwa futhi aphakamise sonke isidalwa esingumuntu, ngisho noma kusele amathambo kuphela. Wabumba u-Eva ngombambo (Genesise 1:2,22).

Kodwa ovukweni ngosuku lokugcina, uNkulunkulu uyobadala ngokoqobo abafileyo bephume ize. Futhi akancikile okungenani esiqeshini sethambo, njengoba abanye orabi abangamaJuda bakubeka. Ngokocwaningo lwakamuva, wonke amangqamuzana amathambo emzimbeni womuntu ashintshwa ngokuphelele kanye njalo eminyakeni eyishumi.

Ukube uNkulunkulu ubengeke akwazi ukuvusa umuntu ngaphandle kwamathambo akhe, abafel’ ukholo abashisiwe bebeyolahleka ngokungenakulungiseka, abanye babo umlotha wabo uphonswe emfuleni. Kodwa ngokunembile ngabafel’ ukholo “abatshelwa ukuthi kumelwe baphumule isikhashana, kuze kufike izinceku ezikanye nabo nabafowabo begcwele.”— IsAmbulo 6,11:20,4 . Ekuvusweni kwabalungile, labo ababulawa banikezwa ukuvelela okukhethekile ( IsAmbulo XNUMX:XNUMX ).

Ngisho no-Abrahama noJobe bazibiza ngothuli nomlotha (Genesise 1:18,27; Jobe 30,19:1). Ngakho-ke, umlotha awunakuba isithiyo kuNkulunkulu ukuze abuyisele ukuphila. Wabumba u-Adamu ngothuli lomhlabathi (Genesise 2,7:33,6.9). Uma ungabaza, uNkulunkulu ubengeke adinge ngisho nothuli. Ngokuba “izulu lenziwa ngezwi likaJehova, nalo lonke ibandla lawo ngomoya womlomo wakhe... Ngokuba wakhuluma, kwaba njalo; wayala, kwema.”— IHubo XNUMX:XNUMX, XNUMX .

Imibandela emine yokungcwaba

Uma manje ngicubungula zonke izici ezishiwo, ngibona amanani amane angasetshenziswa njengesiqondiso sokungcwaba:

1. Ubulula esikhundleni sobukhazikhazi
2. Ukonga esikhundleni sokumosha imali
3. Umlayezo:
   . ukulala kwabafileyo esikhundleni sokukholelwa emiphefumulweni
   . ithemba lokuvuka esikhundleni sokungasho lutho
   . Ukuqinisekiswa komzimba esikhundleni sobutha nomzimba
4. Ukwethembeka (umphumela ezizukulwaneni, izihlobo, ikakhulukazi izingane)

Ngakho ubenza kanjani ubulungisa kuzo zonke izimiso ezine? Futhi ingabe lokho mhlawumbe kuhambisana nokukweqa umbuthano namuhla?

Ukungcwatshwa namuhla naphakathi kwamaRoma namaGreki

Namuhla, isizathu sokushiswa kwesidumbu ngokuvamile, ngokweqiniso, ngokwezimali, kwamanye amazwe kuthiwa futhi ukuntuleka kwendawo yamathuna. Kodwa-ke abangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu bazophinde bancamele ukushiswa kwesidumbu ngoba izizathu eziyisishiyagalombili ezishiwo ekuqaleni azibalulekile kubo. Ngeshwa, ngokwesiko lethu, ukungcwaba okulula ngaphandle kwezindleko eziphezulu zamatshe amathuna, amatshe amatshe noma ukunakekelwa kwamathuna okuyinkimbinkimbi kanye nerenti yethuna yesikhathi eside kubonakala kungenakwenzeka.

Ngezikhathi zamaRoma kwakungenye indlela: ukushiswa kwesidumbu kwakuyindlela yokungcwaba eyinkimbinkimbi futhi ebiza kakhulu, okwakungafinyeleleki ngisho nasezigabeni eziphansi zomphakathi. NaseGreece yasendulo, ukushiswa kwesidumbu kwakwenziwa abantu abacebile.

Ukungcwatshwa kwaseGibhithe

Ukugqumisa abafileyo empeleni kwakuyisiko lenkolo yonkulunkulu baseGibhithe. Kufanele alungiselele uFaro uhambo oluya ekuphileni kwangemva kokufa. Noma kunjalo, uJakobe noJosefa bagqunyiswa izinsuku eziningi ukuze balondolozelwe ukuthunyelwa kwa-Israyeli (Genesise 1). Lokho kungenzeka ukuthi bekuyi-pragmatic, kodwa futhi kuwuphawu olukhulu lokuhlonipha esimweni saseGibhithe. IBhayibheli alikwehluleli lokhu. U-Ellen White ubhala ngesicelo sikaJakobe sokuba angcwatshwe kwa-Israyeli: “Ngale ndlela isenzo sokugcina sokuphila kwakhe sasiwukubonisa ukholo lwakhe esithembisweni sikaNkulunkulu.”Okhokho nabaProfethi, 237) Ngakho ukungcwatshwa kwala madoda amabili okholo kwathumela isigijimi saphezulu naphezu kwalowo mkhuba wobuqaba empeleni.

Gxila ekuphileni esikhundleni sokufa!

UJesu waletha umbono omusha ngokuphelele ngale ndaba. Wathi: “Ngilandeleni, yekelani abafileyo bambele abafileyo babo!” ( Mathewu 8,22:23,29 ) Noma ngesinye isikhathi: “Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngokuba nakha amathuna abaprofethi, nihlobise nezikhumbuzo. kwabalungileyo.” ( Mathewu XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngalokhu ususa ukubaluleka okuyinhloko abanye abathi kukho.

Umbuzo womuntu siqu kanembeza

Ngicabanga ukuthi ekugcineni wonke umuntu kufanele enze amalungiselelo omuntu siqu noNkulunkulu wakhe mayelana nendlela yokungcwaba lapho efika esimweni lapho kufanele athathe isinqumo mayelana nendlela yokungcwaba:

“Ngokuba akakho phakathi kwethu oziphilela yena, akakho ozifelayo, ngokuba uma siphila, siphilela uJehova, kepha uma sisifa, sifela uJehova; noma siphila noma sifa, singabakaJehova. Ngoba ngenxa yalokho uKristu wafa wabuye wavuka, ukuze abe yiNkosi yabafileyo neyabaphilayo. Kodwa wena, umahlulelani umfowenu? Kumbe wena, udelelani umfowenu? Sonke siyakuvela phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi, onke amadolo ayakuguqa kimi, nezilimi zonke ziyakudumisa uNkulunkulu.’ Ngakho-ke yilowo nalowo kithi uyakuziphendulela kuNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke masingabe sisahlulelana, kodwa kunalokho qinisani izingqondo zenu ukuze kungabikho sikhubekiso noma isikhubekiso phambi komzalwane.”— Roma 14,7:13-XNUMX;

Njengabenzi bokuthula, kudingeka futhi ukuba singaqali izingxabano ezingadingekile nabanye abangase babe nezwi endabeni enjalo.

“Babusisiwe abalamulayo; ngokuba bayakubizwa ngokuthi abantwana bakaNkulunkulu.” ( Mathewu 5,9:XNUMX )
