Ngabona ukuthi izingelosi ezingcwele zazivame ukuza ensimini ukuze ziqondise u-Adamu no-Eva emsebenzini wabo. - izipho zomoya 1, 20 (1858)

UNkulunkulu wanika abazali bethu bokuqala ukudla ayekuhlosele isintu. Kwakuphambene necebo lakhe ukuthi noma yisiphi isidalwa sibulawe. Akufanele kube khona ukufa e-Edene. Izithelo zezihlahla zasengadini zaziwukudla okwakudingwa umuntu. UNkulunkulu wanika umuntu imvume yokudla izilwane kuphela ngemva kukaZamcolo. - Izipho Zomoya 2a, 120 (1864)

Nakuba uNkulunkulu enza yonke into yaba yinhle ngokuphelele futhi ebonakala entula lutho emhlabeni ayewudalele injabulo ka-Adamu no-Eva, nokho wabonisa uthando lwakhe olukhulu ngabo ngokutshala insimu ikakhulukazi bona. Bachitha ingxenye yesikhathi sabo bephishekela umsebenzi wabo ngentshiseko: ukwakhiwa kwengadi. Enye ingxenye yathola ukuhanjelwa yizingelosi, yalalela izincazelo zazo futhi yajabulela indalo. Umsebenzi wawungakhathali, kodwa wawujabulisa futhi uvuselela. Lesi sivande esihle kufanele kube ikhaya labo elikhetheke kakhulu.
Kule nsimu uJehova watshala imithi emihle nenhle ngezinhlobo zazo. Kwakunezihlahla ezazilenga zigcwele izithelo, zinephunga elimnandi, ezibukekayo, futhi zinambitheka kamnandi—eziklanywe uNkulunkulu njengokudla kombhangqwana ongcwele. Izivini ezikhazimulayo zamila zinomthwalo womvini ongakaze ubonwe kusukela eKukwini. Izithelo zabo zazizinkulu kakhulu futhi zinemibala ehlukahlukene: ezinye zazicishe zibe mnyama, ezinye zibe nsomi, zibomvu, zipinki neziluhlaza ngokukhanyayo. Lesi sithelo esihle nesivundile emivini sasibizwa ngokuthi amagilebhisi. Naphezu kokuntuleka kwama-trellises, awazange alenge yonke indlela phansi, kodwa isisindo sesithelo sagobisa imivini phansi. U-Adamu no-Eva babenomsebenzi ojabulisayo wokwenza izihlahla ezinhle ngale mivini futhi beluluka ukuze bakhe izindawo zokuhlala zemvelo zezihlahla ezinhle, eziphilayo namahlamvu, ezigcwele izithelo ezinephunga elimnandi. - izipho zomoya 1, 25 (1870)

Nkulunkulu omkhulu

Ngisho nonkulunkulu omkhulu ungumthandi wobuhle. Imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ayishiyi kungabaza ngakho. Watshala insimu enhle e-Edene ukuze ayenzele abazali bethu bokuqala. Wavumela ukuba kukhule imithi emikhulu yazo zonke izinhlobo emhlabathini. Zazisetshenziselwa izitshalo nemihlobiso. Ngayo yonke imibala nemithunzi, waklama izimbali ezinhle eziyivelakancane ezazigcwalisa umoya ngamakha azo. Abaculi abajabulayo abanezinsiba ezihlukahlukene bashaya izingoma zabo zobumnandi bedumisa uMenzi wabo. UNkulunkulu wayefuna ukuba umuntu aneliseke ekunakekeleni izinto ezidaliwe nokuthi izidingo zakhe zaneliswe ngesithelo sesihlahla sasengadini. - Umgqugquzeli Wezempilo, Julayi 1, 1871

ukuvuselela zonke izitho zomzimba

UJehova wazungeza u-Adamu no-Eva epharadesi nakho konke okuwusizo nokuhle. UNkulunkulu wamtshala insimu enhle. Kwakungekho sihlahla, imbali, noma isihlahla esasingasetshenziselwa usizo noma imihlobiso. UMdali womuntu wayazi ukuthi imisebenzi yobuciko yezandla zakhe yayingeke ijabule uma intula umsebenzi. Bakhangwa ipharadesi, kodwa hhayi lokho kuphela: babedinga umsebenzi ukuze basebenze zonke izitho zabo zomzimba. UJehova wabadalela umsebenzi. Ukube injabulo ibigoqela ukungenzi lutho, umuntu ngabe akasebenzi ngisho nasebumsulwa bakhe obungcwele. Kodwa uMenzi wakhe wayekwazi okwakudingeka ukuze ajabule. Lapho nje edalwa, wayeseyabelwe imisebenzi yakhe. Ukuze ajabule wayedinga umsebenzi. - Umgqugquzeli Wezempilo, Julayi 1, 1871

UNkulunkulu walungisela u-Adamu no-Eva insimu enhle. Wabanikeza konke ababekudinga. Watshala izinhlobonhlobo zezihlahla zezithelo. Wazizungeza ngomusa ngengcebo yakhe: ngezihlahla zokusetshenziswa nezomusa; nezimbali ezinhle ezavuleka ngokuthanda kwazo futhi zaqhakaza ngokungenakubalwa ngakuzo. Akukho sihlahla esivuthulukile futhi esibolile, akukho mbali ebunayo. U-Adamu no-Eva babecebile ngempela. Babengabanikazi be-Edene elihle, u-Adamu inkosi embusweni wakhe omuhle. Akekho ongangabaza ingcebo yakhe. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayazi ukuthi u-Adamu wayengajabula kuphela lapho ematasa. Ngakho wamnika okuthile okwakumelwe akwenze. Kufanele enze ingadi.
UMdali womuntu akakaze afune ukuthi umuntu angenzi lutho. UJehova wambumba umuntu ngomhlabathi, waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila, waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo. Kwakungumthetho wemvelo ngakho-ke umthetho kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ubuchopho, imizwa nemisipha kudinga ukusebenza nokunyakaza. Izinsizwa nezintombi azifuni ukusebenza ngoba akukho okuphoqayo ukuthi zikwenze futhi akuwona umkhuba. Abazivumeli ukuqondiswa nokuqondiswa yingqondo ekhanyiselwe. Kodwa yilabo abasebenza ngezandla kuphela abathola ukukhuthazela ngokomzimba. Ukuze ube nempilo ephelele futhi ujabule, zonke izitho nomsebenzi kufanele kusetshenziswe njengoba uNkulunkulu ayehlosile. Uma zonke izitho zenza umsebenzi wazo, umphumela uwukuphila, impilo kanye nenjabulo. Ukuzivocavoca okuncane kakhulu, isikhathi esiningi endlini kwenza isitho esisodwa noma eziningi zibe buthakathaka futhi zigule. Kuyisono ukuvimbela noma ukwenza buthaka amakhono uNkulunkulu asinike wona. UMdali omkhulu wasidala saba nemizimba ephelele enempilo engase siyilondoloze ukuze simnike umhlatshelo ophilayo, ongcwele nowamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu.
Ukuzivocavoca ngomsebenzi owusizo kugcwalisa icebo likaNkulunkulu lasekuqaleni lokuba u-Adamu no-Eva benze insimu. Ukuphila kuyigugu. Uma sigcina imithetho yobuntu bethu, singabulondoloza ngokukhalipha. - Umgqugquzeli Wezempilo, NgoMeyi 1, 1873

Impilo yasebukhosini

U-Adamu wabekwa njengenkosi e-Edene. Wanikezwa ukubusa phezu kwakho konke ukuphila okudalwe nguNkulunkulu. UJehova wabusisa u-Adamu no-Eva ngokuhlakanipha okungafani nezinye isidalwa. Wenza u-Adamu waba yinkosi efanele phezu kwayo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zakhe. Umuntu wadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu futhi wayebabaza imisebenzi ekhazimulayo kaNkulunkulu emvelweni.
U-Adamu no-Eva babekwazi ukuthola ikhono nobukhazikhazi bukaNkulunkulu kuwo wonke amagatsha otshani, kuzo zonke izihlahla nezimbali. Ubuhle bemvelo obamzungezile babubonakalisa ukuhlakanipha, ubuhlakani, nothando lukaBaba wakhe waseZulwini. Izingoma zabo zothando nokudumisa zazizwakala zinyakaza futhi zinenhlonipho ezulwini, futhi zazivumelana nezingoma zezingelosi eziphakeme kanye nezinyoni ezijabulayo ezazitshiyoza izingoma zazo ngokunganaki. Kwakungekho ukugula, ukubola, noma ukufa. Nomaphi lapho wawubheka khona, kwakunokuphila yonke indawo. Umkhathi wawuphila. Ukuphila kwakukuwo wonke amaqabunga, yonke imbali, yonke imithi.
INkosi yayazi ukuthi u-Adamu wayengeke ajabule ngaphandle komsebenzi. Ngakho wamnika umsebenzi omnandi wokulima. Njengoba ayethambekele ezintweni ezinhle neziwusizo ezimzungezile, wayengababaza ubuhle nenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu emisebenzini edaliwe. U-Adamu wamangala ngayo yonke imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu e-Edene. Nasi isibhakabhaka sincane. Nokho, uNkulunkulu akazange adale umuntu ukuze nje amangaliswe yimisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo. Ngaphandle komqondo wokuzibuza, wamnika nezandla ukuthi asebenze ngazo. Umuntu wayengathola ukugcwaliseka kokubili ngokumangala nasemsebenzini. Ngakho u-Adamu wawuqonda umqondo omkhulu wokuthi wadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ukuze alunge futhi abe ngcwele. Ingqondo yakhe yayihlale ikwazi ukukhula, ukuthuthuka, ukwanda, kanye nokukhulisa; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wayengumfundisi wakhe nezingelosi zabangane bakhe. - Ukuhlengwa 2, 6-7 (1877)

imodeli ekhaya

Ikhaya labazali bethu bokuqala kufanele libe isibonelo kwamanye amakhaya abantwana babo abagcwele kuwo wonke umhlaba. Leli khaya elalihlotshiswe nguNkulunkulu uqobo kwakungesona isigodlo esihle kakhulu. Abantu, ekuziqhenyeni kwabo, bajabulela izakhiwo ezinhle nezimba eqolo futhi bakhangwa yilokho abakwakhile; kepha uNkulunkulu wambeka u-Adamu ensimini. Lena kwakuyindlu yakhe. Isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza sasiwumkhathi wakhe; umhlaba nezimbali zawo ezintekenteke kanye nomata ophilayo oluhlaza, phansi kwawo; amagatsha amaqabunga emithi ebukekayo ayengumbhede wawo. Izindonga zayo zazilengiswe ngomhlobiso obabazeka kakhulu - ubuciko bobuciko bomculi omkhulu. Emvelweni wombhangqwana ongcwele singafunda okuthile okuba yiqiniso kwaphakade: injabulo yeqiniso ayitholakali ekulandeleni ukuthambekela kokuzigqaja nokunethezeka, kodwa ebudlelwaneni noNkulunkulu endalweni Yakhe. Ukube abantu bebenganaki kangako okokwenziwa futhi bethanda kakhulu okulula, bebengaba seduze kakhulu nomsebenzi wabo wokudala. Ukuziqhenya nesifiso sokuvelela akukeneli. Kodwa labo abahlakaniphe ngempela bathola injabulo ejulile nekhuthazayo ezintweni ezishukumisayo uNkulunkulu azibekele thina.

Umsebenzi udala inhlalakahle

Izakhamuzi zase-Edene zanikezwa umsebenzi wokunakekela insimu, ‘ukuyilima nokuyigcina. Umsebenzi wabo wawungakhathali, kodwa wawujabulisa futhi uvuselela. UNkulunkulu wayefuna umsebenzi wokubusisa umuntu, ugxile emqondweni wakhe, uqinise umzimba wakhe, futhi uthuthukise amakhono akhe. Emsebenzini ongokwengqondo nowomzimba u-Adamu wathola enye yenjabulo enkulu yokuba khona kwakhe okungcwele. Kodwa lapho, ngenxa yokungathembeki kwakhe, kwadingeka ukuba ashiye ingadi futhi alwe nenhlabathi enenkani ukuze athole isinkwa sakhe sansuku zonke, wona kanye lowo msebenzi, nakuba wawuhluke kakhulu emsebenzini omnandi wensimu, wawuyisivikelo esilingweni nasothandweni. umthombo wenjabulo. Noma ubani obona umsebenzi njengesiqalekiso ngoba uyakhathaza futhi ubuhlungu uyaphazama. Abacebile bavame ukubukela phansi isigaba sabasebenzi ngokudelela, kodwa lokho akuhambisani nakancane necebo likaNkulunkulu lokudala umuntu. Yini ecebe kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa nefa lenkosi u-Adamu? Noma kunjalo, kwakunomsebenzi ka-Adamu. UMdali wethu, owazi kangcono ukuthi yini eyenza sijabule, wanika u-Adamu umsebenzi wakhe. Injabulo yangempela ekuphileni itholakala kuphela kwabesilisa nabesifazane abasebenzayo. Izingelosi nazo ziyizisebenzi ezikhiqizayo; bakhonza abantwana babantu esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. UMdali akalungiselelanga indawo yokuma nokungakhiqizi. - Okhokho nabaProfethi, 49-50 (1890)

UNkulunkulu wanika u-Adamu no-Eva umsebenzi. I-Edeni kwakuyisikole sabazali bethu bokuqala futhi uNkulunkulu wayengumfundisi wabo. Bafunda ukulima umhlabathi nokunakekela okutshalwe yiNkosi. Emehlweni akhe, umsebenzi wawungewona owehlisa isithunzi, kodwa wawuyisibusiso esikhulu. Ukukhiqiza kwakumnandi ku-Adamu no-Eva. Icala lika-Adams lashintsha kakhulu. Umhlaba waqalekiswa, kodwa ukwahlulelwa ukuthi umuntu kufanele athole isinkwa sakhe ngezithukuthuku zebunzi lakhe kwakungesona isiqalekiso. Ngokholo nethemba, umsebenzi wawuyobusisa inzalo ka-Adamu no-Eva. - Umbhalo wesandla 8a, 1894

UJehova unike yilowo nalowo umsebenzi wakhe. Lapho uJehova edala u-Adamu no-Eva, ukungenzi lutho kwakuyobenza badabuke. Umsebenzi ubalulekile enjabulweni. UJehova wayala u-Adamu no-Eva ukuba balime futhi balolonge insimu. Umzimba wethu wonke usetshenziswa emsebenzini onjalo wezolimo. - Umbhalo wesandla 185, 1898

UNkulunkulu wabeka abazali bethu bokuqala epharadesi futhi wabazungeza ngakho konke okuwusizo nokuthandekayo. Emzini wabo e-Edeni kwakungekho lutho olwalufuna ukunethezeka nenjabulo yabo. U-Adamu wanikwa umsebenzi wokunakekela insimu. UMdali wayazi ukuthi u-Adamu wayengeke ajabule uma engawutholi umsebenzi. Ubuhle bensimu bamjabulisa, kodwa lokho kwakunganele. Wayedinga umsebenzi ukuze agcine zonke izitho zakhe zomzimba ezimangalisayo zisebenza. Ukube injabulo ibihlanganisa ukungenzi lutho, umuntu ubeyohlala engasebenzi ngobumsulwa bakhe obungcwele. Kodwa umdali wakhe wayekwazi ayekudinga ukuze ajabule. Ngemva nje kokuyidala wabe eseyinika umsebenzi wayo. Isithembiso sekusasa eliqhakazile kanye negunya lokulimela inhlabathi yesinkwa sakhe sansuku zonke kwavela esihlalweni sobukhosi esifanayo. - Umfundisi Wentsha, February 27, 1902

Impilo yomsebenzi onenjongo ibalulekile enhlalakahleni yomuntu ngokomzimba, ngokwengqondo nangokokuziphatha. - Ukuzithiba kobuKristu kanye Nenhlanzeko YeBhayibheli, 96, 1890 (Isiphetho esihlukile sengcaphuno yangaphambilini)

Izinhlelo zempilo ezimbili eziphambene

Kwakungeyona inhloso kaNkulunkulu ukuthi abantwana Bakhe babuthene emadolobheni, abuthene abe yimigqa yezindlu nezindlu zokuqashisa. Ekuqaleni wabeka abazali bethu bokuqala engadini phakathi kwezinto ezinhle nemisindo ekhangayo yemvelo. UNkulunkulu ufuna ukusenza sijabule namuhla ngalezi zithombe nemisindo. Uma siqhubeka siqondana nohlelo lukaNkulunkulu lwasekuqaleni, kuzoba ngcono ukululama nokugcinwa kwempilo. - Ubufakazi 7, 87 (1902)

Uhlelo lwezemfundo olwasungulwa ekuqaleni komhlaba lwaluzosebenza njengesibonelo saphakade somuntu. Ukuze kuchazwe izimiso zaso, kwamiswa isikole esiyisibonelo e-Edene, ikhaya labazali bethu bokuqala. INsimu yase-Edene yayiyikilasi, imvelo iyincwadi yokufunda, uMdali Uqobo Lwakhe enguthisha, nabazali bomkhaya wesintu abafundi...
U-Adamu no-Eva banikezwa umsebenzi ‘wokuwusebenza nokuyigcina’ ( Genesise 1:2,15 ) . Nakuba babejabulela ingcebo uMnikazi Womhlaba wonke ayithululela phezu kwabo kwaze kwaba sekugcineni kokuqonda kwabo, nokho akufanele bangenzi lutho. Banikezwa umsebenzi onenjongo ukuze babusise, baqiniswe ngokomzimba, bathuthuke ngokwengqondo futhi bathuthukise isimilo.
Incwadi yemvelo, eyabeka phambi kwabo izimfundiso zayo eziphilayo, yabanikeza isiqondiso nenjabulo engapheli. Kuwo wonke amaqabunga ehlathi naphezu kwawo wonke amatshe entaba, kuyo yonke inkanyezi ekhanyayo, emhlabeni, ulwandle nesibhakabhaka, igama likaNkulunkulu lalilotshiwe. Ngamaqabunga, imbali, nesihlahla, nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo kusukela kuleviyathani osemanzini kuze kufike onqenqemeni lwelanga—Kokubili indalo ephilayo nengaphili izakhamuzi zase-Edene zabhekana nazo, futhi zakhipha kuzo zonke izimfihlakalo zokuphila. Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ezulwini, imihlaba yaKhe engenakubalwa ekuphendukeni kwayo okujwayelekile, “ukulinganisa amafu” ( Jobe 37,16:XNUMX ), izimfihlakalo zokukhanya nomsindo, zemini nobusuku—zonke kwakuyizifundo zabafundi kulesi sihloko. isikole sokuqala emhlabeni.
Njengoba insimu yase-Edeni yavela ezandleni zoMdali, kwakungeyona yona kuphela kodwa yonke into eyayisemhlabeni yayiyinhle ngokwedlulele. Alikho ibala lesono, alikho ithunzi lokufa elaphazamisa indalo ekhazimulayo. Ubukhazikhazi bukaNkulunkulu “busibekela amazulu, umhlaba ugcwele inkazimulo yakhe”. “Izinkanyezi zokusa zajabula kanyekanye, nawo onke amadodana kaNkulunkulu ajabula.” ( Habakuki 3,3:38,7; Jobe 2:34,6 ) Ngakho umhlaba wawufanekisela isimemezelo esifanelekayo salowo “ongowomusa omkhulu nokuthembeka” ( Eksodusi XNUMX:XNUMX; XNUMX), isifundo esifanele labo abadalwe ngomfanekiso wakhe. INsimu yase-Edene yayimelela lokho umhlaba owawuyoba yikho. UNkulunkulu wayefuna ukuba umkhaya wesintu wande ngenani futhi wakhe amakhaya nezikole ezengeziwe ezinjalo. Ngakho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, wonke umhlaba wawuyogcwala amakhaya nezikole. Lapho kwakuzofundwa amazwi nemisebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Abafundi babeyokubonakalisa ngokugcwele nakakhulu phakathi neminyaka engapheli ukukhanya kolwazi lobuhle bukaNkulunkulu. - Imfundo, 20-22 (1903)

Ensimini uNkulunkulu ayilungisa njengekhaya labantwana Bakhe, izihlahla ezinhle nezimbali ezithambile zazibuka wonke amajika. Izihlahla zazifika ngezinhlobonhlobo, eziningi zigcwele izithelo ezinuka kamnandi nezimnandi. Izinyoni zazidumisa emagatsheni azo. Ngaphansi komthunzi wawo izilwane zomhlaba zadlala ndawonye ngaphandle kokwesaba.
U-Adamu no-Eva, ekuhlanzekeni kwabo okungonakalisiwe, bajabulela ukubona kanye nemisindo yase-Edene. UNkulunkulu wabanika umsebenzi wabo ensimini “ukuba bayilime futhi bayigcine” ( Eksodusi 2:2,15 ). Zonke izinsuku zokusebenza zazimenza aphile futhi ajabule. Umbhangqwana ongcwele wabingelela uMenzi wawo ngenjabulo ekuhambeleni kwakhe, uhamba futhi uxoxa nawo ekupholeni kosuku. Nsuku zonke uNkulunkulu wabafundisa okuthile okusha. - Ministry of Healing, 261 (1905)

UNkulunkulu wanika abazali bethu bokuqala indlela yokufunda kweqiniso lapho ebabonisa indlela yokulima inhlabathi nokunakekela ikhaya labo elingadini. Emva kokuba bewele esonweni ngokungalandeli umyalo weNkosi, ukulima kwaba namandla kakhulu; ngokuba umhlaba waveza ukhula nameva ngenxa yesiqalekiso. Kodwa umsebenzi ngokwawo wawungewona umphumela wesono. Inkosi enkulu yabusisa ukulinywa komhlabathi. - Umbhalo wesandla 85, 1908

Umkhaya waqhubeka uyisikhungo semfundo esivelele ezinsukwini zezinzalamizi. Kulezi zikole, uNkulunkulu wadala izimo ezikahle kakhulu zokuthuthukisa umlingiswa. Bonke ababeqondiswa nguye babesalandela icebo lempilo alisungula ekuqaleni.
Bonke, ngakolunye uhlangothi, abahlubuka kuNkulunkulu, bakha imizi futhi babuthana kuyo, begezwa ubukhazikhazi, ukunethezeka nobubi, okwenza amadolobha amaningi namuhla abe ukuzigqaja kwezwe kodwa futhi aqalekiswe. Kodwa abantu ababegcina imithetho kaNkulunkulu yokuphila babehlala emasimini nasemagqumeni. Babengabalimi nabelusi. Kulempilo ekhululekile nezimele, enamathuba ayo okusebenza, ukufunda, nokuzindla, bafunda ngoNkulunkulu futhi bafundisa izingane zabo imisebenzi nezindlela Zakhe. - Imfundo, 33 (1903)

Umdwebo ka-Israyeli

Ngokuhlukanisela abantu izwe, uNkulunkulu wabanika, njengezakhamuzi zase-Edene, umsebenzi owawuvuna kakhulu ekuthuthukeni kwabo—ukunakekela izitshalo nezilwane. Elinye ithuba lemfundo kwaba ikhefu lomsebenzi wezolimo njalo ngonyaka wesikhombisa, lapho umhlabathi ungalinyiwe futhi izithelo zasendle zishiyelwa abampofu. Kwakukhona isikhathi esengeziwe sokufunda, sokuzijabulisa, nokukhulekela, nesokusiza abampofu, okuvame ukunganakwa yizinkathazo nomsebenzi wokuphila. - Imfundo, 43 (1903)

Icebo likaNkulunkulu ngo-Israyeli laliwukuba umndeni ngamunye ube nekhaya ezweni elinendawo eyanele yokulima. Lokhu kunikeze ithuba elanele kanye nesikhuthazo sempilo ewusizo, yokusebenza kanzima neyokuzimela. Awukho umqondo womuntu owake wadlula lolu hlelo. Ukuchezuka kulolu hlelo kuyimbangela enkulu yobumpofu nosizi lwanamuhla. - Ministry of Healing, 183 (1905)

Abafundi balesi sikole [somprofethi] bazijabulisa ngomsebenzi wabo. Basebenza inhlabathi noma benza umsebenzi wezandla. Kwa-Israyeli, lokhu kwakubhekwa njengento eyinqaba noma eyehlisa isithunzi. Kwaze kwathathwa njengecala ukuthi izingane zikhule zingawazi umsebenzi owusizo.
Ngelungiselelo likaNkulunkulu wonke umntwana kufanele afunde umsebenzi othile, ngisho noma wawumiselwe isikhundla esingcwele. Abafundisi bezenkolo abaningi baziphilisa ngemisebenzi yezandla. Ngisho nangezikhathi zabaphostoli, uPawulu no-Akhwila nabo babehlonishwa ngoba babeziphilisa ngokwenza amatende. - Okhokho nabaProfethi, 593 (1890)

Wonke umuntu osemusha, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abazali bakhe bacebile noma bampofu, wafundiswa umsebenzi wezandla. Ngisho noma ayemiselwe isikhundla esingcwele, ulwazi olusebenzayo lwalubhekwa njengolubalulekile ukuze lusetshenziswe kamuva. Futhi, othisha abaningi babezijabulisa ngomsebenzi womzimba. - Imfundo, 47 (1903)

AmaWaldens alandela umqondo ofanayo

AmaWaldens ayedele ingcebo yawo yezwe ngenxa yeqiniso. Bazuza isinkwa sabo ngokubekezela nangokubekezela. Zonke iziqephu zomhlabathi wasezintabeni ezilimekayo zithuthukiswe ngokucophelela; isivuno sakhishwa ezigodini nemithambeka engavundile kangako. Ukonga kanye nokuzincisha ngokuqinile kwakuyingxenye yokukhuliswa izingane ezazikuthola njengefa kuphela. Bafunda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala impilo njengesikole futhi bangahlangabezana nezidingo zabo kuphela ngokusebenza komuntu siqu, ngokuhlela, ukukhuthala nokholo. Konke kwakuwumsebenzi onzima futhi oyisicefe, kodwa kunempilo futhi kukhuliswa, yilokho kanye umuntu ayekudinga esimweni sakhe sokuwa, isikole uNkulunkulu asinikeza imfundo nokuthuthuka.
Nakuba intsha ijwayele ukusebenza kanzima nobunzima, imfundo yobuhlakani ayizange ishaywe indiva. Bafunda ukuthi wonke amakhono angakaNkulunkulu nokuthi yonke into kufanele ithuthukiswe futhi ithuthukiswe ukuze isebenzele inkonzo Yakhe. - Umoya Wesiprofetho 4, 73 (1884)

Uhlelo lwekusasa

Emhlabeni osanda kwenziwa, abahlengiwe bayophishekela iminako nezinjabulo ezaletha injabulo ku-Adamu no-Eva ekuqaleni. Sizophila impilo efana neyase-Edene, impilo yasensimini nasensimini. “Bayakwakha izindlu, bahlale kuzo, batshale izivini, badle izithelo zazo. Kabayikwakha kuhlale omunye, bangahlanyeli kudle omunye. Ngoba izinsuku zabantu bami ziyoba njengezinsuku zomuthi, futhi abakhethiweyo bami bayojabulela umsebenzi wezandla zabo.”— Isaya 65,21:22-XNUMX . Abaprofethi namakhosi 730 (1917)
