Ngaba Sisingise enzonzobileni?

Njengoko sijonga emva kwixesha lembali yoluntu, sibona amabhodlo ezi mpucuko zamandulo; uninzi lwazo oluthe lwanyamalala lushiya phantse lungabikho mkhondo. Kutsha nje, Iindlela zale mihla zophando olwenziwa ngelaser ziye zatyhila ukuba into ekucingelwa ukuba lihlathi laseAmazonian engekabikho msulwa eneneni liwafihlakele amasalela eendlela ezinkulu ezidityanisiweyo., izixeko kunye nemisebenzi yolawulo lomhlaba. Iingcamango zokuchaza ukunyuka nokuwa kwezi mpucuko ziye zaninzi kwaye zahlukeneyo, njengoko kuye kwaqikelelwa ukuba ihlabathi lalisemngciphekweni wentlekele kunye neengxelo zokubhanga kwabantu kwixesha elidlulileyo, ukusuka kuNogumbe kaNowa ukuya kwimeteorite ekuthiwa yazitshayela zonke iidinosaurs.

Ukuthi ga, phezu kwako nje ukuxelwa kwangaphambili kwemini yentshabalalo, ubomi babantu buye basinda kuzo zonke ezi ntlekele. Kodwa ‘lithamsanqa lethu’ sele iza kuphelelwa?

Ukwandisa amandla ethu okuZitshabalalisa

Asizange nanini na ngaphambili sibe namandla angaka okuzitshabalalisa – kunye neplanethi – njengokuba sinjalo namhlanje. Izinto ezifunyaniswe yinzululwazi nezobugcisa ziye zanda ngesantya esimangalisayo: kodwa ngokwanda ngakunye kumandla omntu kuye kwavela iingozi ezintsha. Njengoko abantu besanda, ngokunjalo noxinzelelo kwimithombo yethu yendalo – ukutya, amanzi, umhlaba, amandla kunye nemathiriyeli ekrwada – yaye ngenxa yolu xinzelelo kuye kwabakho inkitha yeengxabano zasekuhlaleni nezamazwe ngamazwe phakathi ‘koobani’ kunye 'nokungabikho', phakathi kwabanamandla nabaphantsi; edla ngokufihlwa yimbonakalo yendlela yokuziphatha, ubuzwe okanye umgaqo wonqulo. Amandla enyukliya aye naso isisongelo sokutshatyalaliswa kwehlabathi lonke xa kukho imfazwe. Imichiza yezolimo isongela ukutshatyalaliswa kweentlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Imveliso yemizi-mveliso ibangele ungcoliseko oluxhaphakileyo. Ukufudumala kwehlabathi kusongela uzinzo lwemozulu yethu. Inani elandayo lezazinzulu liqala ukuba nexhala lokuba iArtificial Intelligence inokuba yinkosi yethu ngokulula, kunomkhonzi wethu, okanye ukuba iBio-Engineering ingakhokelela kutshintsho lwemfuza olubulalayo.

Ukuzigwagwisa kwabantu kunye nokuphambana ngokuziphatha

Okwangoku, phezu koku, ukuzingca koluntu kwizinto esizifezileyo kukhokelela kwisimo sengqondo esihlala sikhula sekratshi. Siyakugxeka ukungazi kwabalawuli bamandulo ababezibiza ngokuba ‘ngoothixo’ yaye babacekise oozwilakhe abaqhubeka besenza ngolo hlobo nanamhlanje; ukukholelwa oko, ngoku okanye mva, baya kufumana ukuza kwabo kunye nokuthanda ‘kwabantu’ uya koyisa. Okwangoku, ngaxeshanye, sizivumela ukuba sikholelwe ukuba asinatyala lanto nakubani na ngaphandle kwethu; nokuba akukho bukrelekrele okanye igunya lokuziphatha kwindalo iphela elifanele livunyelwe ukuba liphakame ngaphezu kwelethu. Kude nokuba sithotywe bubukhulu obumangalisayo kunye nokuntsonkotha kwehlabathi esiphila kulo sonke sigoba sijonge kwinjongo enye.; sigxininisa ‘kumalungelo ethu’ kunye nokuzimela kunokuba uxanduva lwethu, kunye nokuxhomekeka, abanye.

Asibuhoyi nje ubulumko obuqokelelweyo bamawaka eminyaka yamava omntu, sibanga ukuba ubunyani bethu bunokuba yiyo nantoni na esifuna ibe yiyo kwaye singabaphathi bekamva lethu. Ngexesha elinye, oku kuzigwagwisa kwachazwa njengomzabalazo phakathi kokusukela ‘inzululwazi’ kunye nokuqiqa ngokuchasene neenkolelo nje. Hayi kwakhona. Kwisizukulwana esinye siye saphuma kwimbono efanayo yomtshato njengomanyano lwendoda nomfazi ngenjongo yokukhulisa abantwana kwindawo ekhuselekileyo., kunye nezini zombini zisebenza njengemizekelo, ukubanga ukuba oku akuyomfuneko kwaphela. Zikhona, kanjalo, bebesoloko bengabo bakhethe ukwenza ngenye indlela: nangona uqwalaselo oluyinyani luqhubeka luxhasa imbono yemveli. Kodwa okona kuqaqamba ngakumbi kukukhanyelwa kwenyani yebhayoloji malunga nomahluko wenyama phakathi kwesini.¹ Ngoku, abantu babanga ‘ilungelo’ bahlaziye imizimba yabo, nokuba ibandakanya ukuzicenta ngabom ukuze kuphunyezwe oku. Kubonakala ngathi uluntu alusekho nje emfazweni phakathi kwethu, okanye ngokuchasene nendalo okanye nayiphi na ingcamango yegunya eliphezulu: kodwa ngokuchasene neziqu zethu, sidela kwaloo mizimba siphila kuyo. Kuqhubekani? Singazibhanxa njani?

Ingxaki Ekhoyo

Njengoko abantu bephonononge ubunzima behlabathi lethu, ngawo onke amathemba ayo, amaphupha aphukileyo, ubuhle bendalo kunye nokungabikho kokusesikweni okubonakalayo, ngokungenakuphepheka kukhokelele kumbuzo, ‘Iyintoni injongo yayo yonke le nto?’ Emva kumaxesha eTestamente eNdala, UKumkani uSolomon wakubeka ngolu hlobo oku:

Ngoko ke ndacingisisa ngako konke oku ndaza ndagqiba kwelokuba amalungisa nezilumko nezinto abazenzayo zisesandleni sikaThixo, kodwa akukho bani waziyo ukuba balindelwe luthando okanye yintiyo. Bonke banesiphelo esinye—amalungisa nongendawo, okulungileyo nokubi, ohlambulukileyo noyinqambi, ababingelelayo nabangenziyo;. Njengoko kunjalo nakwabalungileyo, ngokunjalo naboni; njengoko kunjalo nakwabo bafungayo, ngokunjalo nabo boyikayo ukuzithabatha. Oku kubi kuyo yonke into eyenzekayo phantsi kwelanga: Isiphelo esifanayo sifikela zonke. Iintliziyo zabantu, ngaphezu koko, bazele bububi; kukho impambano entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi, baze emva koko bajoyine kwabafileyo. Nabani na phakathi kwabaphilayo unethemba; kwanenja esaphilayo ilunge ngakumbi kunengonyama efileyo! Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa;, ke bona abafileyo abazi lutho; abasenamvuzo;, kwanegama labo lilityelwe. Uthando lwabo, intiyo yabo nekhwele labo lithe shwaka kudala; abasayi kuba nanxaxheba kuyo nantoni na eyenzekayo phantsi kwelanga. (Ecc 9:1-6 NIV)

Lithemba elimfiliba: ukanti ukuphelelwa lithemba ekugqibeleni kwalungelelaniswa lithemba. Umjikelo oqhubekayo wexesha lokuhlwayela kunye nokuvuna, kunye nesiganeko esimangalisayo sokuguqulwa kwenguqu yanika izizathu zokuba nethemba lokuba ukufa kwakungesosiphelo.. Nokuntsonkotha ngokupheleleyo kweli hlabathi, oluya lusiba lukhulu ngakumbi kwaye luntsonkothe ​​ngakumbi njengoko ulwazi lwethu lusiya lusiya lusiba, seyisela abantu ekubeni ihlabathi ngumsebenzi wobukrelekrele oneenjongo ezinkulu kunezethu. Nanamhlanje, uninzi lweengqondo zethu ezinkulu zenzululwazi nezefilosofi ziye zaziva zinyanzelekile ukuba zigqibezele, kunye nomdumisi:

Izulu libalisa uzuko lukaThixo. Isibhakabhaka siwubonisa umsebenzi wezandla zakhe. Imihla ngemihla bathetha intetho, nobusuku emva kobusuku babonisa ukwazi. Akukho ntetho, akukho ntetho, apho ilizwi labo lingavakali. (Psa 19:1-3)

Xa ndiqwalasela amazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, owamiselayo; uyintoni umntu, ukuba ucinga ngaye? Yintoni unyana womntu, ukuba umkhathalele? (Psa 8:3-4)

Kanjalo, njengoko siye safunda ngakumbi malunga namandla asisiseko abumba indalo yethu siye safumanisa ukuba kufuna ulungelelwano oluchane ngendlela ecace ngendlela emangalisayo ukuze nje kubangele indalo iphela enamandla okuba ubomi bukhule.. Kanjalo, amathuba okuba oku kwenzeke ngamabona-ndenzile aphezulu kakhulu ngokweenkwenkwezi kangangokuba akhona kuphela 2 Iingxoxo ezinokumelana ngokusengqiqweni nesigqibo sokuba indalo iphela inenjongo eqinisekileyo yobukho bayo. Zezi:

1. Kukho inani elingenasiphelo okanye elikufutshane-elingenasiphelo leeyunivesiti ezitshintshanayo; kwaye nje ‘kwenzeka’ ukuba kwenye ekwaziyo ukuxhasa ubomi; okanye
2. Yonke ingcamango yenjongo ayinamsebenzi. Ukuba besingekho apha, besingayi kubuza ukuba kutheni sikhona.

Phendula 1, nangona ithandwa kakhulu namhlanje, ikhangeleka iyinto engakholelekiyo; ngelixa impendulo yendalo kwi 2 iza Kubayi: ‘Kodwa ndilapha; kwaye NDIYABUZA. Wala nje ukujongana nenyani!’ Nangona kunjalo, nangona kunjalo, isimo sengqondo esixhaphakileyo phakathi ‘kwabaphembeleli’ kwisizukulwana sethu siyaqhubeka ukuba ubomi buyimveliso yamabona-ndenzile amsulwa. Aba baphembeleli bagxininisa kwelokuba akukho Thixo; nokuba asinakuphendula nakubani na, ingeyiyo yethu kanye loo nto, ekufeni, sisuka siyeke ukubakho.

Ukungaxabiseki koBomi boMntu

Ngelixa uzonwabisa ngoku, oku kungabikho kokuphendula kuvakala njengombono omkhulu. Kodwa isiphelo sawo sisoloko sibubomi obungenanjongo nobungenathemba. Ukuba isiphelo sethu kukufa singazi nto, ubomi buxabisekile kuphela ngelixa buhlala bumnandi; kwaye ukuba kufanele kupheliswe ngaphambi kwexesha - ke yintoni? Abafileyo abayi kukhathalela: ngoko ukufa, nokuba kungokubulala okanye ukuzibulala, iba yindlela ekhawulezayo nesengqiqweni yokuphelisa konke ukubandezeleka. Asithandi ukujongana nale nyaniso inzima: ngoko sithetha ngendelelo ngokuphathelele abo sibathandayo ‘bedlulile’ nokuba ‘usoloko usezingqondweni zethu’ — akukho nanye kuzo eyinyaniso ukuba ‘ngabaphembeleli’ kufuneka bakholwe. Kodwa le ngqiqo ibandayo yokufa ihlala isitya indlela yayo kwinkcubeko yethu. “Ngokuqinisekileyo,” kuyaxoxwa, “ukuba umntu ugulel’ ukufa okanye ukwaluphala, ayikho kubo (kunye wethu) kubalungele ukuba bafe?” Kwaye oku akusebenzi kwiintsana ezineziphene? Okanye uthini ngokukhulelwa okungafunwayo? Akufanele kube njalo, “Umzimba wam; Kukuthanda kwam?” Kwaye ukuba ubomi bakho buphulwe sisithandwa esingathembekanga, okanye umthengisi omdaka, yhini bawo bonwabe xa ubomi bakho bumoshakele? Ngaba asiyiyo kanye le nkcubeko yokufa esemva kokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi ngokuziphindezela kunye nohlaselo lwabanqolobi esiye sabona kwiminyaka yakutshanje??

Ngoobani Abona Baphembeleli?

Kodwa xa silaqaza sijonga ukuba le nkcubeko yokufa ivela phi ngokwenene, Kunzima ukufumana nabani na oya kuma ngokuphandle kwaye avume ukuba kukukhanyela kwakhe uxanduva kunye nenjongo enetyala.. Okuphikisanayo, naphi na apho ujonga khona uya kufumana abantu abaneenjongo ezintle bezibhambathisa njengabakhankaseli benyaniso, ubulungisa, amalungelo abantu, ukulondolozwa kwendalo, ukuqhubela phambili kwempucuko, njl. Zininzi iingcamango zamayelenqe, kanjalo: kodwa ngubani ngokwenene otsala imitya? Abo baphezulu kwimfumba baya kufuna ukuhlala apho; kodwa hayi ukuba iba ngumgudu omkhulu. Yaye ngubani obeya kufuna ukulawula ihlabathi ukuba ebekholelwa ngokwenene ukuba yonke imigudu yabo ekugqibeleni iya kuba lilize ize ilityalwe?

Isiphelo sikaSathana

IBhayibhile, kwelinye icala, ukhomba umnwe wetyala kutshaba loluntu lwamandulo, USathana; olazi kakuhle idinga likaThixo kuAdam lokuba enye yenzala yakhe yayiza kutyumza intloko kaSathana². Imigudu kaSathana yokuhenda uYesu sele isilele; kwaye uluntu kwakhona lunikwa ithuba lokumanyana kwakhona noThixo kwaye luphile ngonaphakade. KuSathana ingcamango yokuba thina—zizilwanyana nje ezinemizimba enokonakala ngokwemvelo ukuba uThixo ebeyekile ukusondla nokusondla, kunye nengqiqo engaphantsi kakhulu kuneyakhe - kufuneka ithandwe, ngoxa yena ngokwakhe esohlwaywa, ayinyamezeleki.

Ekuqaleni uSathana wayeneenjongo ezimbini: Okokuqala, ukwenza ukuba kungenzeki ngokokuziphatha ukuba uThixo asixolele ngaphandle kokucima isohlwayo sikaSathana kunye, okwesibini, ukukhobokisa nokutshabalalisa uninzi lwethu kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Usukelo lwakhe lokuqala lwaphazamiseka xa uThixo wakwenzayo oko, kuSathana, yayingathandekiyo. Wavumela uYesu ukuba afe endaweni yethu ephenjelelwa nguSathana ngokwakhe.

Ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa, umtyholi sele emfakile entliziyweni kaYuda Sikariyoti, unyana kaSimon, ukumngcatsha… Emva kweqhekeza lesonka, kwangena uSathana kuye. Wathi ke uYesu kuye, “Wenzani, yenza ngokukhawuleza.” (Joh 13:2 & 27)

Kodwa sithetha ngobulumko bukaThixo emfihlakalweni, ubulumko obufihliweyo, awathi uThixo ngenxa engaphambili, kwangaphambi kwawo amaphakade, wayimisela uzuko lwethu, ekungabangakho namnye wabaphathi beli hlabathi ubaziyo. ngokuba bebesazi, ngebengayibethelelanga emnqamlezweni iNkosi yozuko. (1Co 2:7-8)

Ukumisa amaqhinga

USathana usoloko ezama ukuzingca; kwaye ke ngokusisiseko uyaludelela uthando, ukukubona njengomthombo wobuthathaka obunokusetyenziswa ukuze kuxhatshazwe abanye. Kodwa uye wafunda ukuba uThixo uya kwenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukuze asindise abo abathandayo – yaye, ukuthi ngqo, thina. IBhayibhile ichaza ukuba isizathu sokuba uThixo angavumi ukuligweba ihlabathi kukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba abangakumbi basindiswe..

INkosi ayilibali dinga, njengoko abanye bebala ukucotha; kodwa unomonde kuthi, ndinganqweneli ukuba kutshabalale nabani na, basuke bonke beze enguqukweni. (2Pe 3:9)

Imfuneko Yenguquko

UThixo sele enze konke okuyimfuneko ukuze ahlawule ixabiso lokuxolelwa kwethu: kodwa kukho into enye angenakusenzela yona; yaye oko kukuguquka. Ukwenza izinto zigqibelele kwakhona akuwusombululi umcimbi. UAdam wona xa wayehlala eparadesi. Kufuneka kubekho utshintsho olukhulu lwentliziyo. Kanjalo, olo tshintsho lukhulu kangangokuba asinako nokuzilawula ngokwethu: kodwa kufuneka siyifune. Kufana nendoda erhaxwayo esandul’ ukuphoswa intambo yokusindisa ubomi. Kufuneka siyibambe, nangona lonke udumo lokusihlangula lulele kumhlanguli.

USathana uyakwazi oku: ke ngoko wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukucothisa ukusasazeka kwevangeli aze aphembelele abantu ukuba bazame naluphi na unyango lweengxaki zethu ngaphandle kwenguquko yokwenene.. Yaye uzimisele ukuziphindezela kuThixo nakubantu ngokukhobokisa nokutshabalalisa abaninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka., nangayiphi na indlela enokwenzeka.

Ke, ngokukhawuleza unokusiqhubela ekubeni sizitshabalalise, ngcono; yaye, ngakumbi, kokukhona enokutshabalalisa abalandeli bakaYesu, ngcono. Ngaba ukhe wanqumama uzibuze ukuba kwenzeka njani ukuba abalandeli bakaKumkani woThando kunye neNkosana yoXolo babe ngabona bantu batshutshiswayo emhlabeni?³

Xa sijonga imeko yangoku yehlabathi, kunye nemeko elusizi yebandla elininzi, abaninzi banokugqiba kwelokuba uSathana unamandla yaye ukholo lwamaKristu luphelelwa lixesha. Kanjalo, nguYesu ngokwakhe owabuza lo mbuzo, “Nangona kunjalo, xa uNyana woMntu esiza, wolufumana na ke ukholo emhlabeni?” (Lk 18:8) Kwakutheni ukuze atsho?

Kutheni UThixo Engabunqandi Nje Ubungendawo?

Ngaba izinto ziya zisiba mbi ngakumbi? Akuthathi ukucinga okuninzi ukuqonda ukuba banako: kutheni uThixo engangeni ngoku, ngaphambi kokuba benze? Konke kubuyela kwixabiso elingenamlinganiselo nelingunaphakade uThixo alibeka kuwe, mna nawo wonke umphefumlo womntu. Sisandul’ ukufunda ukuba umnqweno onyanisekileyo kaThixo uku, “ukuze bonke bafikelele enguqukweni” (2Pe 3:9). Kwaye, njengomalusi phakathi Mt 18:12-14, ukulungele ukujamelana nayo nantoni na enokwenzeka kuwo wonke umhlambi wakhe ukuze enze umgudu wokusindisa omnye kuphela.. Uyaqonda, ngcono kakhulu kunathi, ukuba nakuphi na ukubandezeleka thina - kunye naye - esinokuthi sihlangabezane nako kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ubomi bethu bangoku buhlala bugqithiswa kakhulu ngunaphakade wovuyo olusilindeleyo kunye nentlungu yabo baphoswayo..

Kodwa kuye ngamnye wethu umbuzo obalulekileyo ngulo, “Xa athe wafika uNyana woMntu, uya kulufumana na ukholo kuwe?” Uyakubona. Uyakwazi okusentliziyweni yakho. Akukho nto unokuyenza ukuze ufumane ubabalo olunjalo. Kodwa uthembisile ukuba xa uthe wafika kuye awusayi kukhatywa. (yabona Jn 6:37 yaye Rom 8:28-30). Ngaba uya kuza kuye ngokholo nothando, ezisa lonke ubutyala bakho kunye nehlazo, kwaye uncame 'ilungelo' lakho lokuba yinkosi yekamva lakho? Kufuneka kube njalo yakho ukhetho. Akayi kukwenzela yona. Kodwa, kanye umphefumlo wokugqibela wenze ukhetho lwabo, indlela enye okanye enye, kwandule ke kufike ukuphela.

Imibhalo esemazantsi

1. Ibisoloko isaziwa into yokuba iqaqobana labantu linengxaki yemfuza neyomzimba; yaye abo baneengxaki ezinjalo ngokufuthi baye baphathwa kakubi (njengabo banezinye iintlobo ezininzi zokukhubazeka). Aba bantu baxabisekile njengathi kuThixo; kwaye kubalulekile ukuba sibaphathe bonke ngothando nangentlonipho.
2. Funda ‘Imvelaphi Yembali – IsiTyhilelo esiqhubela phambili’; okanye ngengxoxo ethe vetshe, yabona ‘Yahamba kakubi njani yonke into’, kuthotho lwezifundo, ‘Asinako Ukwenza Okubi?’.
3. Ewe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48146305. Asikuko nokuba sinye nje isizathu. Ukuqala, bekukho abaninzi abazibanga bengabalandeli bakaYesu abamcekise ngokuphandle uYesu’ iimfundiso, bejikela abanye kuye: Ngelixa, kwelinye icala, abalandeli abaninzi abaziphethe kakuhle nabahlonela uthixo bezinye iinkonzo nabo baye batshutshiswa – maxa wambi ezandleni zabo bazibanga bengamaKristu. Kodwa emva koko, kukho isibakala sokuba uYesu wafundisa ngokuchasene nezona zono zithandwayo zehlabathi (ingongoma edla ngokugxininiswa ngokugqith’ emgceni ngokuchitha imfundiso yakhe ngothando nokuxolela). Yaye noYesu wagxininisa ukuba wayekuphela kwendlela eya kuThixo; engahambi kakuhle kwabo bakhetha iindlela zabo – ngakumbi uSathana nabalandeli bakhe. Ukanti omnye unobangela nguYesu’ ukuzingisa kobuqu ekungabini nogonyamelo kunye ‘nokujika esinye isidlele;’ nto leyo eyenza ukuba amaKristu abe ngamaxhoba alula kubachasi bawo.
