Ukuthi shazi kweqiniso laseLawodikeya. Ibhalwe nguGreg Cox
Qaphela d. Okubomvu.: Lesi sihloko sango-Agasti 2019 sigxile eqinisweni eBandleni lama-Adventist elingaziwa ngokuphelele kwabaningi. Izelamani ezizizwa zixhumene ne-Kinship zibaluleke kakhulu kithi njengombhali, ubufakazi bakhe obuthembekile, obuhehayo nobushukumisayo besifuna ukwabelana nabo nabafundi bethu. Ukumangalelana ngeke kusiyise ndawo. Sidinga ukugcwaliswa ngomoya kaNkulunkulu wesihe nokungabi nasono. Kulapho ithemba! Yileyo ndlela esifisa ukuba lesi sihloko siqondwe ngayo.
Inhlangano ye-LGBT i-SDA Kinship ikhuthaza ngokusobala ukuthi iSonto Lama-Adventist lamukele futhi ligubhe umuntu ngamunye »izici zocansi«. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu uphinde wakhuthaza ukuvinjelwa kokukhuluma kanye nemibhikisho emelene neComing Out Ministries (COM) esekelwe yiNgqungquthela Jikelele. I-Kinship izimisele ukukhawulela i-COM nokubeka izithiyo endleleni yomsebenzi wayo. Ngoba i-COM isebenzela abantu abafuna ukufulathela isigcawu se-LGBT futhi bajoyine umzimba kaKristu kabusha. I-COM imemezela ukukhululwa kusiko le-LGBT elibhubhisayo. Ngama-imeyili, izicelo, izingcingo, nobudlelwano nabantu abanethonya eSontweni Lama-Adventist abamelela abantu abathandana nobulili obufanayo, abathandana nobulili obubili, kanye nabantu abashintsha ubulili, i-Kinship yenze imizamo eminingi yokuvimbela i-COM kule nkonzo.
Njengelungu lebhodi langaphambili le-SDA Kinship, kuyangidumaza okwenziwa uKinship. Yingakho ngibhalele ibandla lami nabaholi balo le ncwadi evulelekile ukuba siqale ingxoxo eqondile. Inhloso yami ingxoxo eqotho nevulekile yokwenza kubonakale izenzo zeSDA Kinship - inhlangano engake ngayisekela.
incwadi evuliwe
"Umndeni wami othandekayo we-Advent,
Ngisanda kuboniswa i-imeyili evela ku-Floyd Poenitz, iPhini Likamongameli we-SDA Kinship. I-imeyili ibhekiswe kubuholi bebandla le-Adventist Church in South Africa, lapho iComing Out Ministries (COM) ithole isimemo. Yayinesicelo esicacile sokungagunyazi inkonzo yakhe lapho.
Ukufunda i-imeyili evela ku-Floyd Poenitz kwangiphatha kabi kakhulu. Umbhalo ubuqukethe izinsolo eziningi kanye nezitatimende ezingamanga eziphelele mayelana ne-COM. Okuphawuleka kakhulu, kuye kwathiwa i-COM inikeza ukwelashwa kokuguqula. U-Floyd Poenitz akagcinanga nje ngokucindezela i-COM ekukhulumeni. Uphinde wathi babangela ukulimala okungenakulungiseka ngokwengqondo, ngokomoya nangokwenyama kubantu abathandana nobulili obufanayo, abathanda ubulili obubili kanye nabantu abashintsha ubulili. Nokho, i-imeyili ka-Floyd Poenitz yayingenawo umBhalo owodwa noma umqondo wobuKristu osebenzayo.
isinqumo eKarmeli
Kungani ngikhathazekile nge-Kinship and Coming out Ministries? Eqinisweni, zombili izinhlangano zimelela izimpambano zamanje ze-Adventism. Iqhathaniswa nesinqumo sika-Israyeli eNtabeni iKarmeli. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-COM ishumayela isigijimi sevangeli: UMoya oNgcwele uyakwazi ukukusindisa esonweni, yebo, kuzo zonke izono, futhi enze inhliziyo yakho ibe ntsha. Angakukhipha endleleni yokuphila yobutabane. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, Ukuzalana kume njengomlweli wezifiso zobulili zomuntu ngamunye, ukuthambekela kwemvelo kwenyama futhi kuchaza le mpilo 'njengothando' olunikezwa nguNkulunkulu. Empeleni, i-Kinship ibuza iBandla lama-Adventist: ›Masiphile ubulili bethu ngokukhululekile, ngaphandle kwemingcele nangazo zonke izinzwa zethu. Masiguqule incazelo yemiBhalo futhi sibhale eyethu indaba ngendlela esikuthanda ngayo nangendlela esizizwa ngayo.’ Bandla elithandekayo, ingabe uyavumelana nalokho?
Ukukhathazeka kwangempela kwe-SDA Kinship
Ngangike ngaba yilungu lebhodi labaqondisi be-SDA Kinship ngokwami, okungenza ngingakhululeki manje. Sezadlula izinsuku lapho umphakathi we-LGBT wawushushiswa ngokusobala nangokubanzi ngokunqanyulwa kwemisebenzi, ukuxoshwa, ukuxoshwa, nokucwaswa emphakathini kanye nomndeni wakho. Le micimbi ikhinyabeze ubudlelwano phakathi kweBandla lethu Lamahhala namalungu alo e-LGBT. Ngingakufakazela lokho mina mathupha. Amalungu esonto ayekhangwe abobulili obufanayo, ababelwa nemizwa yabo, babelangazelela umthandazo, ukuqonda nosizo. Njengelungu lebhodi leKinship, ngikhumbula izingcingo eziningi phakathi kwamabili zivela kubafundi abaxoshiwe, amalungu esonto asusiwe, nabazali abakhalayo becela usizo nezeluleko. Babengenabani ababengaphendukela kuye. Ngaleso sikhathi, umsebenzi we-SDA Kinship wawubonakala ucacile kimi - okungenani yindlela engangizizwa ngayo.
Ukucindezelwa kwenkinga noma ukuphenduka okuvamile?
Endabeni ye-Advent, ukukhangwa kobulili obufanayo kwahlangatshezwa ukumangala nokwethuka. Bambalwa ababeyazi ukuthi ijule kangakanani. Ngakho-ke isifo esithathelwanayo esithi 'Isono sakho sibi kunesami' sasidlangile, futhi ibandla lethu lalinethemba lokuthi udaba lwe-LGBT ekugcineni luzophetha ngokungaphumeleli. Namuhla, lokhu kugula kokwehluleka ukuziphatha nokuhlelwa kwezono kudinga ukuphulukiswa okubizwa ngokuthi ukuphenduka. Futhi kulokhu kuphenduka, nginxusa wonke umuntu ukuba abone izono zakhe kuqala. Esikhundleni sokuhlupheka lezi zono ngokuthula, masisondelane futhi sihambe siye phambili ngokuthembana, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, sithandane (KwabaseKolose 3,13:15-XNUMX).
Kuleli qophelo, abanye bangase bacabange ukuthi ngisekela ngokugcwele umphakathi wethu we-LGBT. Ngizowuchitha lowomcabango ngaso leso sikhathi! Abanye bangase bangisole ngokuba nenhliziyo ebandayo, njengokululaza isifiso sami sobulili. AKULUNGILE! UmBhalo ukhuluma ngokuphelelwa yithemba esiba nakho lapho lemizwa nezifiso “zemvelo” zisinqoba. UDavide wabulala umngane othembekile ukuze amthathele umkakhe, futhi uMariya Magdalena wabuyela ngokuphindaphindiwe ekuphileni kwakhe ‘okungokwemvelo,’ waba namademoni izikhathi eziyisikhombisa. Yebo, kunamandla kakhulu ukukhanga kwenyama! Kodwa uma siphenduka ndawonye, sizoboniswa indlela yokuphuma. Sisenkathini entsha
Kule minyaka engu-20+ edlule, indlela iBandla lama-Adventist eliphatha ngayo abantu be-LGBT ishintshile. Khonamanjalo, isonto lethu lenze ubudlelwano bothando nama-Adventist ahlushwa ukukhangwa abobulili obufanayo. Eminye yale mizamo mihle, eminye ayiminingi, kodwa kusenomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuba yisisulu kwakudala amalungu ethu e-LGBT ayejwayele ukuzibona kukho sekushintshe kwaba umcimbi wama-Olympic. Amanxeba amadala nezibazi manje kuzuliswa ngokuziqhenya njengamafulege othingo oluhle, kuyilapho eqinisweni uNkulunkulu ekwenyanya ukuqhosha ( IzAga 8,13:16,5; XNUMX:XNUMX ).
Umphakathi wethu manje ulindele ukwamukelwa okungenamkhawulo kwesifiso sabantu abathandana nobulili obufanayo, abathanda ubulili obuphindwe kabili kanye nabashintsha ubulili bamahhala, i-polyamory (abalingani abaningi bocansi) kanye nesiqubulo esithi: ›Nginquma ubulili bami, hhayi ibhayoloji!‹ Lokhu kufanele kube yiqiniso ngokwemibono yabo kubukeke kuzisola.
Kodwa singabubungaza kanjani ubulili obufanayo lapho sibhekene nobungcwele nezimfundiso zeBhayibheli? Namuhla, labo ababuza amafulege 'wobuhle' be-LGBT nge-lens yoMbhalo babonakala ngokushesha 'njengabazondayo' nabashisekeli. Eqinisweni, umfundisi wami wangitshela ukuthi ukuxoxa ngobizo lweComing Out Ministries lokuphenduka kuzolimaza kakhulu noma iyiphi intsha ye-LGBT!
Ukulungiswa kabusha kwe-Kinship
NgoNovemba 2018, ngabuzwa uSihlalo we-SDA Kinship ukuthi kungani ngiphikisana nemiyalezo yakhe yokuxhumana nabantu kanye nokuphatha kwakhe i-COM ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Ngamtshela ukuthi inhliziyo yami ibuhlungu ukubona izingane zakithi zihlanya: Umgomo wangaphambili ka-Kinship, engake ngawubuka ngomusa, kudala wathathelwa indawo yizindikimba zokuzigqaja, ukubonakaliswa kobulili obungqubuzana neBhayibheli, nokuzincoma . Inhloso yabo manje ukuveza ukuthi ungumuntu othanda ucansi njengokuzihlonipha, ukugubha 'Inyanga Yokuthandana Kwabantu Bobulili Obubili' nezinye izinto ezixakayo kanye nokuqhakambisa ubunikazi bomuntu ngokuphila ngobulili bakhe.
Lokhu kulungiswa kabusha okusobala kwe-SDA Kinship - okwake kwafuna inkhulumomphendvulwano yomphakathi - manje sekuphenduke ukuphikiswa okusobala kanye nokuhlukumeza okuhlosiwe kwe-COM, njengoba kubonisa incwadi ka-Floyd Poenitz. 'Ocindezelwe' usephenduke umcindezeli. Futhi akusona isikhathi sokuqala (izibonelo zifaka imizamo ye-Kinship yokuvimbela imicimbi ye-COM eCanada, UK, Australia, njll.).
Isibonelo sePasadena
Mina ngokwami ngakubona lokhu kuhlukunyezwa okuhlosiwe yi-Kinship ngenkathi u-COM enentshumayelo yeSabatha ePasadena, eCalifornia eminyakeni emibili edlule.
I-Kinship yenza imizamo eminingi ukuvimba lo mcimbi. Baze bacela izisebenzi zeSouthern California Confederation ukuthi zifake ingcindezi kumfundisi omkhulu wesonto lasePasadena ukuthi ayiyeke. Ngibonga uNkulunkulu leli bandla elincane libe nomgogodla oqinile ngokomoya! Ngale ndlela, i-COM yakhuthaza umphakathi wethu ukuba ufune ukuphulukiswa emanxebeni amadala, adlule, ukuma nalabo abafisa ukushiya isiko le-LGBT futhi bathande labo abalwa nokukhangwa abantu bobulili obufanayo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iqembu le-LGBT ngaphandle liphakamise amafulegi abo e-Pride futhi labhikisha i-COM kanye nomcimbi womphakathi 'njengomcimbi wenzondo'. U-Kinship usigcinile isikhundla sakhe, ecaphuna izibonelo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana zabantu be-LGBT abasaphathwa kabi futhi baze babulawe. Umlayezo wabo uthi noma ubani olalela iCOM ukhuthaza inzondo eqhubekayo. Kuze kube namuhla, lezi zibonelo zisetshenziswa njengengxabano yomlayezo wothingo lwe-Kinship ukuze ulandele imizwa yethu siqu futhi wenqabe ukushumayela kwe-COM. Lokhu okusho ukuphika imizwa yomuntu siqu futhi ukuza esiphambanweni. Le mpi esikuyo.
Okubi nakakhulu, i-SDA Kinship iphinde ithi i-COM, futhi noma ubani ofuna ukufulathela umphakathi we-LGBT, wenza ngenxa yokulimala okujulile ngokomzwelo ngakho-ke ukhubazeke kakhulu ngokwengqondo. U-Kinship uvame ukucaphuna isibonelo senkonzo ka-Colin Cook enenhlekelele ekhuthaza izindlela zokwelapha zokuguqula abantu ngemikhuba eyinqaba, engekho eBhayibhelini. Lezi zindlela zokwelapha zokuguqula zixhumanisa ngokuqondile ne-COM. I-imeyili ka-Floyd Poenitz nayo inalesi sitatimende esingamanga.
Indaba yami yomuntu siqu
Ngifuna ukwabelana nebandla lami elithandekayo ukuthi akubona bonke abashiya indawo ye-LGBT abenze kanjalo ngenxa yokulimala nobuhlungu. Ngempela ngiphile impilo egcwele ngezindinganiso ze-LGBT. Ngimuhle futhi ngimuhle, ngangishayela iMercedes, nginomuzi eHollywood Hills nehhovisi eBeverly Hills. Nganginekhaya elimnandi ngempelasonto ePalm Springs futhi nginezindawo eziningi eziqashisayo. Imali yayingakaze iqine. Njalo ebusuku ngangifika ekhaya kumyeni wami othandekayo owayengikhonze. Uzakwethu ebhizinisini, engisebenza nabo, iziguli, abangani, ubaba, nezingane zakithi nabo babenothando futhi bangeseka. Ngangiyisitabane sekilasi lokuqala ngiphila iphupho lothingo. Kodwa lempilo ayizange ingiholele ebuhlotsheni obujulile noJesu. Kodwa ngokuphambene! Lapho ekugcineni ngiphendula ubizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, konke lokho kwabonakala kulahlekelwa incazelo yakho. Ubunikazi bami bobulili babungasabalulekile kangako kimi. Angikaze ngicabange ukwelashwa kokuguqula, futhi angikaze ngibuze ngakho. Njengoba uMoya oNgcwele wangihola wangikhipha emhlabeni we-LGBT, ngabona ukuthi lena INKQUBO EFANAYO wonke umuntu adlula kuyo kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ushikashikana nani. “Ukuguqulwa” kwami kwenziwa uMoya oNgcwele, futhi washintsha nabanye. Ekuqaleni ngangicabanga ukuthi ngingedwa, ngedwa. Kodwa lapho amehlo ami evuleka, ngathola ukuthi baningi abafana nami. Isibalo 'sabantu abafana nathi' siyakhula futhi iCOM ibakhombisa ukuthi ababodwa.
Izingxabano ze-Kinship
Izindikimba ze-Kinship zivusa imizwa futhi ziyayenga. Ukuzihlukanisa, ukuhlukunyezwa kanye nokuzibulala kwentsha kukhalwa ngakho kuwebhusayithi yayo nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana. I-Kinship iphetha ngokuthi uma singayamukeli yonke impilo yocansi yothingo, izingane zethu zizomane zizibulale.
Lena imilayezo enamandla kakhulu kwabangalwazi kahle. Ngingaqhubeka nokwehlukanisa incwadi ka-Floyd Poenitz kanye ne-Kinship mantras iphuzu nephuzu ngokusebenzisa amaqiniso eBhayibheli, ebhayoloji, ezibalo nangokwengqondo, kodwa lokhu sekuvele kwenziwa (Bheka comingoutministries.org, knowhislove.org):
Ingabe isiphetho senkulumo-mpikiswano?
Cha! Ngokusobala asisaphili esikweni eliyiqiniso elisekelwe emiBhalweni. Amaqiniso athathelwe indawo imizwa.
Ngakho-ke ngithanda ukubuza ibandla lami kanye nobuholi balo ngokuqondile: Ngicela ube nengxoxo eqotho 'nabantu abafana nami', nabantu abafulathele imizwa yabo ukuze balandele uMoya oNgcwele? Ngabantu abafana nami abazibonele mathupha amanga ezwe lesethembiso lethingo nocansi lwamahhala.
Yini ekhathaza iSDA Kinship
Pho kungani iSDA Kinship ikhathazwa kangaka yiComing Out Ministries? Ngoba abantu abaningi bangaphambili be-LGBT njengami bashiya izitabane, i-bi kanye ne-trans scene.
Isiko le-LGBTQ ligcwele ukuziphatha okuxekethile kanye nobudlelwane obuningi obuhlulekile. Isiko le-LGBTQ lichuma kuphela ekwaneliseni 'imizwa' ngezindlela zocansi ezingasekelwe eBhayibhelini nezinqatshelwe. Ngenxa yokuthi i-COM ayikhuthazi izindlela zokwelapha zokuguqula, i-Kinship iyasaba. I-Kinship ipenda isithombe esihle, iphakamisa ukuthi ngenhlanganisela efanele yokwamukelwa nokuthakaselwa, amalungu e-LGBT azophumelela ngaphakathi kwe-Adventism. Kodwa ukukholwa lokho kuthatha ukukholwa okungaboni, okubulalayo. Indawo ye-LGBT inemithetho yayo. Kuze kube manje, wonke amasonto aqinisekisa i-LGBT athole ukuthi le mithetho ayishintshi.
Umbuzo owodwa: Uyazi ukuthi amadoda angama-gay athandana kanjani? Ungawavumela amadodakazi akho ukuthi aveze ubulili bawo ngokukhululekile nangokukhululekile njengoba kwenza amadoda emphakathini we-LGBT? Isigcawu se-LGBT asihambisani nabasingathi baso, kodwa siyabashintsha. Ngikhuluma ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami.
Uthini umBhalo?
Izinkulumo-mpikiswano zezenkolo nezebhayibheli mayelana nokukhetha ubulili zizoqhubeka. Ngoba lapho ubumnyama buvunyelwe ukungena, kubusa isiphithiphithi. Ucansi ngaphandle komshado wabantu bobulili obuhlukile AKUVUNYELWE neze eBhayibhelini. Impikiswano yabameli be-LGBT ithi, ‘Angikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wothando angasiphika ukugcwaliseka kwezifiso zethu zobulili ezingokwemvelo!’ Nokho, lokhu kucabanga bekulokhu kungikhathaza, futhi kufanele kukhathaze wonke umuntu. Ngifunde izazi zenkolo eziningi ezizama ukuphika nokuchaza wonke amavesi eBhayibheli ngale ndaba.
Naphezu kokuqinisekisa kwakhe ukuthi 'uthando luwuthando' nokuthi 'imvelo' yami yobulili iwufuzo futhi nginikezwe uNkulunkulu, ukuba ngamukelwe futhi kuqinisekiswe, angizange ngizamukele ngempela lezo zizathu. Lokho 'okungokwemvelo' akuphelele futhi akukuhle futhi akufiseleki; Izilwane ziyadla zodwa, izishingishane ziyabhubhisa, kanti i-strychnine itholakala esitshalweni. Konke lokhu 'kungokwemvelo'; imvelo empeleni iyabubula ngaphansi kwesisindo sesono! ( Roma 8,22:XNUMX )
Akupheli ukulwa
Ukushiya isigcawu se-LGBT ngemuva akusho ukuphela kwaleyo mishikashika ngenxa nje yokuthi nganikela ngokuphila kwami eNkosini. Ekuqaleni ngangingenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngingayishiya ngempela lempilo ngemva kwami ngokulandela uJesu. Kodwa njengoba ubudlelwano bami noJesu bukhula, umhlaba we-LGBT kanye nempilo yami yangaphambilini yancipha futhi yaba yinqaba kimi. Akashongo yini uJesu ukuthi uma isitho somzimba sisilimaza, kungcono [ngokomfanekiso] ukuhlukana naso ( Mathewu 5,29:XNUMX )? Yebo, uNkulunkulu wethu wothando usitshela ukuba siphike ukuthambekela kwethu okungokwemvelo kunokuba sikuvumele kusibhubhise futhi siphuthelwe ingunaphakade.
Lapho isonto lami lama-Adventist lenza idili lokuziqhenya ngezitabane ngelinye ilanga ngeSabatha ntambama, ngacishe ngaquleka. Yebo, abantu abanjengami abazange bamenywe, ngoba ukuzidela nokulandela uJesu kwakungagujwa, kodwa ukuqhosha ngemizwa yomuntu siqu nangomkhuba womuntu wobulili. Nokho, lokhu kuphambene noNkulunkulu wethu wothando nentando ngathi.
Coming Out Ministries
Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukuzwa ngeComing Out Ministries nganginelukuluku kodwa ngiqaphile. Ngangiyazi kahle indaba yenkonzo ka-Colin Cook ehlulekile yokwelapha ukuguqulwa. Ngicabange ngephutha ukuthi i-COM iyisevisi enjalo nayo. Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele waqhubeka nokungincenga ngaze nganquma ukuthola ukuthi iCOM yayimayelana nani ngempela. Ngemva kwezingcingo eziningi ezinde nabasunguli ababili beComing Out Ministries, ngayibuka ifilimu Uhambo Luphazamisekile ku. (Lokho kwakungaphambi komcimbi wePasadena.)
Ngihlezi phakathi kwezethameli nabantu abangaphezu kuka-700, ngezwa ukukhala okuncishiwe kanye nokugunyazwa okuthulile okuvela ehholo ngesikhathi amalungu e-COM efilimini exoxa izindaba zawo zenkululeko. Ngalobo busuku, ngaya ekhaya ngiqaphela ukuthi angisadingi ukugqoka ilebula yothingo, ngaphandle kwezimangalo zomphakathi we-LGBT ezidelelayo zokuthi akunakwenzeka. Ngangibonile ukuthi iphuzu akukhona ukuthi indoda 'esiyisitabane' iyaguquka ekubeni yisitabane futhi manje ithi 'iqondile'. Imayelana nokusindiswa. Yilowo kuphela umaki obalulekile. kwaba sengathi kuwa amaxolo emehlweni ami. Konke ukufundiseka nokuzabalaza okwadingeka ngikubekezelele ukuze ngigqoke ilebula ethi 'gay' ngokuziqhenya kwakungasenawo amandla phezu kwami.
Inkululeko okholweni - ngaphandle kwezindlela zokwelapha
Namuhla, angikwazi ukusho ukuthi anginakho ukukhangwa abantu bobulili obufanayo, kodwa lokho kukhangwa kuphelelwe amandla kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Umuzwa wenkululeko yeqiniso wagcwala enhliziyweni yami futhi ngangazi ukuthi ngiyindodana kaNkulunkulu, indalo Yakhe ekhethiwe. Manje ngase ngikhululekile ngempela ukulandela umsindisi wami futhi ngishiye umhlaba we-LGBT. Amazwi kaJesu, ‘Ziphike, ungilandele,’ ashaya ihlombe elinamandla enhliziyweni yami. Yebo, kuyasebenza: Ngingaziphika futhi ngilandele uJesu (Mathewu 16,24:25-XNUMX) ngaphandle kokwelashwa kokuguqulwa.
Ingabe 'abantu abanjengami' baba 'abaqondile'? Eqinisweni, anginandaba. Akukona ngempela ukuphendulwa ucansi - kumayelana nokusindiswa. Kumayelana nokushiya ukuphila kothingo olungcolile nokonakala ngokomoya. Awukwazi ukuvele uthandaze uhlukane nokuba yisitabane. Kodwa labo abanenkinga yokukhangwa abobulili obufanayo bangathola ukuhlengwa ngehora lokulingwa.
Inhloso yomphakathi
Isonto lethu KUMELE libe yindawo yokuphephela kulabo abathintekile ukuze bathole isikhuthazo. Abanye bethu bazokwazi ukungena emishadweni yabantu bobulili obuhlukile, iningi labo lingakwazi. Kodwa lokho akunandaba. Okubalulekile ukuthi bonke bakhonjiswe indlela kaNkulunkulu weqiniso nophilayo, indlela yobungcwele nokululama. Uma ngiphila impilo yami yonke njengendoda engashadile efulathele impilo yayo yangaphambili ye-LGBT, ingabe uzongamukela futhi ume nami? Unganginika isihlalo etafuleni lakho? Ngicela ukwabelana ngolwazi lwami noNkulunkulu? Noma ngizokwenqatshelwa futhi ukukhuluma?
Ibonakaliswa kanjani imfudumalo yangempela?
Nginganikeza izintaba zedatha ukufakazela ukuthi enhliziyweni yemizamo ye-Kinship kukhona izimpikiswano mbumbulu. Bathi iningi lezingane lizama ukuzibulala lapho isonto libaphika obala ukuphila kobutabane. Bathi uNkulunkulu unikeze ubungqingili nelungelo elingokomoya lokubonisa ubulili bomuntu ngamunye.
Igujwa kanjani ngempela Inyanga Yobulili obubili? Nginganikeza ubufakazi obuyiqiniso bokuthi ukuzibulala empeleni kuyisifo samadoda amhlophe aneminyaka ephakathi nendawo, nokuthi amadoda angama-gay anemali ephakathi nendawo nangaphezulu ehamba emibuthanweni yama-homophile awagcini nje ngokuba nelinye lamazinga aphezulu kakhulu okuzibulala, futhi anelinye lamazinga okuzibulala. amanani aphezulu okusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa - kanye nokuba umlutha wotshwala. Baphezulu izibalo zobudlelwano obuphukile kanye nokunganeliseki (naphezu kokwethulwa komshado wezitabane). Izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo zibiza lokhu ngokuthi "I-Dutch Paradox".
Izinkulungwane zeminyaka ezikhule zinezimiso zokuziphatha zobulili ezivumelayo kanye nenkolelo yokuthi umuntu angazikhethela ubulili bakhe nazo zinezinga eliphezulu lokuzibulala. Lapho izimfuno zomphakathi we-LGBT zihlangatshezwa kakhulu ngumphakathi, kuba kubi kakhulu futhi izimfuno zabo ziba sobala kakhulu. Abangani abaningi be-LGBT kanye ne-Kinship ngokungangabazeki bazozama ukubuza lo mlayezo, kodwa ngibheke ngabomvu inkhulumomphendvulwano ezoba khona. Ngikholelwa enkulumweni evulekile.
Cishe ngizosolwa ngokungahloniphi lokho umphakathi we-LGBT oye wahlupheka ngakho esikhathini esidlule ezandleni zesonto elibandayo. Kodwa okuphambene kunjalo.
uzwela
Ngafunda incwadi yamaHubo endodeni eyayisokhukhweni lokufa eyayimbozwe kusukela ekhanda kuye ozwaneni ngenxa yesarcoma kaKaposi njengoba umsindo wokufa wawugcwele ikamelo. Ngabamba umngane wami ekhala kabuhlungu ngokuxilonga kwakhe i-HIV. Nsuku zonke ngangivakashela umngane wami osesikhungweni sokuzibulala owayekhala ngokuthi umndeni wakhe awusafuni ukumbona. Nami nginowami owadlulayo obuhlungu. ngiyabazi lobu buhlungu Besingabangane abahle kakhulu iminyaka.
Kodwa imizwa eceleni; Nawa amaqiniso amangalisayo avela emndenini wami wesonto. Kunabantu okungenani abayisithupha bangaphambili be-LGBT embuthanweni wami oseduze asebethole ukuthi isiko le-LGBT akuwona wonke uthingo. Umfulathele. Uwedwa, ngaphandle kwesiqondiso "sokwelashwa kokuguqula", kuphela ngokukhuthazwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Uma ngivakashela eminye imiphakathi, ngihlangana nabantu abaningi abaziqhelelanisa nale mpilo. Ngokusobala lokhu kwenzeka kuwo wonke amasiko asentshonalanga njengamanje. Isonto nesonto ngiya kulo, ngihlangana nabo yonke indawo - futhi bonke basho into efanayo: 'Bengicabanga ukuthi yimi ngedwa.'
Imibuzo yama-Adventist
Zingane zakwethu, ingabe uCOM nabantu abafana nami bangaba nenkundla yokuxoxa? Ingabe 'abantu abanjengathi' abanolwazi endaweni yezitabane bangayisho indaba yethu 'yokuphuma'? Singabunikeza yini ubufakazi bethu bokuthi uMoya Oyingcwele wasikhulula kanjani ebugqileni besono futhi wasifaka ezingalweni zikaMesiya othethelelayo, onothando noguqulayo? Ngicela ukuxoxa indaba yezithandani ezindala ezashiya izimpilo zazo zangaphambili, zabhapathizwa futhi ezingasaziboni njengezitabane? Noma isishoshovu somphakathi oyisitabane, owayengu-'Leather Daddy' manje oseshade nenkosikazi enothando, unezingane ezimbili futhi uphethe iqembu lamadoda lalabo abafuna indlela yokuphuma?
Ngingakwazisa kumthengisi wezidakamizwa oyisitabane owathola iNkosi futhi wanikela impilo yakhe ngokuphelele kuJesu? Hlangana nomshayeli weloli wangaphambilini owafika phansi kwesiphambano ngesikhathi sakhe sokudinga futhi manje ufuna ukutshela umhlaba ukuthi kunendlela engcono! Ngicela ukukutshela ngalowo owayeyilungu lomndeni owakholwa wonke amanga ashiwo yizwe, wabe eseba nephupho elimletha ekuphendukeni nasenyaweni lwesiphambano? Ngingathanda ukwenza konke lokho! Ngoba mina ngingowokugcina!
Kodwa wonke umphefumulo oyigugu, osindisiwe ungakwazi - futhi ufuna - ukuxoxa indaba yawo! Into abafana nathi abafana ngayo wukuthi abasenandaba nokuthi sazalwa sinjalo noma cha. Iqiniso liwukuthi wonke umuntu wazalwa 'ngaleyondlela'. Yingakho uJesu eze ukuzosisindisa kithi.
Mphakathi othandekayo, ngicela ukunqamula ukuthula okwakubambe u-Israel ngesikhathi ebuzwa ukuthi kumele acheme ngaluphi uhlangothi. Zikhulule ekukhubazekeni kwezindaba nemizwa ezingasekelwe eBhayibhelini! Phikisana nalabo abakhomba emibonweni yeBhayibheli, efana neCOM, njengomthombo wezinkinga zakwa-Israyeli. UIsrayeli wayedinga isibonakaliso esingaphezu kwemvelo ukuze aphaphame. Ngizibonele mathupha umlilo kaMoya oNgcwele uvela ezulwini uguqula inhliziyo yami yetshe ibe izibhebhe zenyama, manje ezakhiwe yiZwi. Ungathanda ukuzwa lokho nawe? Ingabe abantu abafana nami kanye neComing Out Ministries bangakhuluma ngalokhu? Sikhuluma ngokuhlangenwe nakho.
Izwa izindaba zethu zokuhlengwa nokubuyiselwa, kodwa nokuthi sikhubeke futhi siwa kanjani. Ungama nathi, uthandaze kanye nathi, futhi usisize sibuyele endleleni ewumngcingo? Umlayezo wethu uthi uJesu uyeza futhi uzolungisa konke.
Leli yithemba elivutha ezinhliziyweni zethu."
thobekile phansi kwesiphambano,
