Ekufuneni ukuqonda isibopho sobuntu kufanele siqale ngokuvuma ukuthi imibono yethu cishe icheme kakhulu ekuzifuneni kwethu siqu.. Sinokwazisa okungokwemvelo kokubili kokuzijabulisa kwabantu nokunethezeka kanye naleyo misebenzi esiyithola inzima kakhulu; futhi uzazise noma uzilahle ngokufanele.

Kodwa siphila endaweni eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, umhlaba ohlobene oncike ekusebenzeni kwawo ngendlela efanele emandleni ethu okubona ukubaluleka kwemicabango nemizwa yabanye. Ubunkimbinkimbi bayo bunjalo kangangokuthi akekho umuntu ofayo ongasho ngokucacile ukuthi kufanele sikhonze nini abanye noma basenze basikhonze.. Ngakho, uma uphika ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu ungase uthi asikho isidingo sokufunda lesi sihloko; ngoba ubani omunye ozokumela ngezenzo zakho? Kodwa uma lokho kuyisikhundla sakho, ngaphambi kokuthi uyeke ukufunda, cabanga ngalokhu: abukho ubulungiswa obuphakeme obuzokwenza noma ubani omunye aziphendulele. Noma yimuphi umuntu noma iqembu eliphethe izintambo kunoma yisiphi isimo lizophumelela; noma ngabe abakholwa noma abakhonzi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi unomusa noma unonya.¹

Kodwa uma uNkulunkulu kunguye oyosenza silandise sonke, khona-ke okudingeka sikwazi ngempela akukhona lokho thina noma omunye umuntu akucabangayo ngalokho okufanele kwenzeke: kodwa lokho uNkulunkulu akucabangayo.

Asihlakaniphile NjengoNkulunkulu

Asazi ukuthi ngubani owabhala incwadi kaJobe: kodwa kukholakala ukuthi indala kakhulu. Nokho ukujula kokuqonda kwayo kokubili imvelo yomuntu neyobuNkulunkulu kujule kakhulu. Ngamafuphi, isiqephu sihamba kanje...

UJobe uhlakaniphe kakhulu, onomusa nowesaba kakhulu uNkulunkulu wesizukulwane sakhe. Ngenxa yalokhu uNkulunkulu ujabula kakhulu ngaye futhi ambusise kakhulu. Kodwa lokhu kuholela engxabanweni phakathi kukaNkulunkulu noSathane; lapho uSathane ephikelela ngokuthi ukuzinikela kukaJobe kuNkulunkulu kubangelwa izibusiso azitholayo kuphela. Ngakho uNkulunkulu ekugcineni unika uSathane imvume yokwenza noma yini ayithandayo kuJobe, emfushane ngokuthatha impilo yakhe. UJobe ulahlekelwa yiyo yonke ingcebo yakhe nezingane zakhe, aze asale yedwa, embozwe amathumba abuhlungu anomunyu kuphela, umfazi okhalazayo ngenkampani. Kodwa akugcini lapho. Abangane beza bazomduduza; futhi, ebona isimo sakhe esesabekayo, baqiniseka ukuthi kumelwe ukuba wenze into embi ukuze afanelekele lokhu futhi baqala ukuzama ukumncenga ukuba avume. Umsebenzi, okwamanje, ulokhu egcizelela ukuthi umsulwa: kodwa phakathi kokubhikisha kwakhe ingxabano yakhe kancane kancane iyasuka, “Angiqondi: kodwa ngisamethemba uNkulunkulu,” - ku, “Kungani uNkulunkulu engeke okungenani azichaze?”

Ekugcineni, UNkulunkulu unqamula ngenkulumo ethi kuyo uJobe makachaze ezimbalwa (kahle, kunalokho okuningi, empeleni) wezimfihlakalo zendalo; empeleni ethi, “Gibela isthuthuthu, ukuze ngikwazi ukuqonda ukuthi kungani ngenza lokhu?” UJobe uyalithola iphuzu, axolise athandazele abangani bakhe abangasizi. Ngaleso sikhathi, uvivinyo seluphelile futhi uJobe ugcina ebusiswe kakhulu kunangaphambili.

Kodwa - thola lokhu - uNkulunkulu neze kuchaza uJobe ukuthi kungani kwenzeke konke lokhu. Ukuqonda kwethu kanye nengqondo yethu akwanele nje ukuzwisisa zonke izinhlelo nezinjongo zikaNkulunkulu. Nakuba umlobi enikeza amazwibela enjongo kaNkulunkulu ephakeme ngale ndaba, usishiya nombono wokuthi, nakuba uNkulunkulu ekugcineni elungile futhi efuna ukusibusisa, kunezikhathi lapho singeke siqonde ukuthi kungani enza izinto ezithile. Ezikhathini ezinjalo into enhle kakhulu esingayenza ukuqhubeka simethemba.

Njengoba iZulu liphakeme

Kwenye indawo, umprofethi u-Isaya uzwa uNkulunkulu ekubeka kanje:

“Ngokuba imicabango yami akuyona imicabango yenu, nezindlela zenu azisizo izindlela zami,” kusho uYahweh. “Ngoba njengoba amazulu ephakeme kunomhlaba, kanjalo izindlela zami ziphakeme kunezindlela zenu, nemicabango yami kunemicabango yenu.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Njengoba ngangithathekile ngesayensi impilo yami yonke, enye yezinto ezithakazelisa kakhulu engizibonile ukuthi, lapho isintu sithola okwengeziwe, kuningi esikutholayo asazi. Ngesinye isikhathi isayensi yayichazwa ‘njengokufuna iqiniso:’ namuhla kuchazwa ngesizotha kakhudlwana ngokuthi ‘ukufuna ukungabaza okuncane.’ Ngosuku luka-Isaya umuntu wayecabanga ukuthi umhlaba wethu uwukuphela kwezwe. Sabe sesithola ukuthi sasingomunye wamaplanethi amaningana azungeza ilanga. Ngokulandelayo saqaphela ukuthi ilanga lethu laliyingxenye yezigidi zomthala omkhulukazi. Kungakabiphi ngaphambi kokuba ngizalwe, kwakucatshangwa ukuthi owethu kwakuwukuphela komthala; khona-ke ukuthi kwakungenye yezigidi (kuyinto, cha - yenza lokho 2 izigidi zezigidi); khona-ke ukuthi indawo yonke empeleni yayikhula futhi manje ososayensi bayazibuza ukuthi kungenzeka yini kube nenani elingapheli lama-universe! Indoda, nge nje 1.2 amalitha esikhala somqondo, unesizathu esihle sokuziqhenya ngezinto azifezile ngobuhlakani: kodwa uma enokuhlakanipha kwangempela nhlobo, unesizathu esengeziwe sokuvuma ngokuthobeka ukuthobeka kwakhe uma kuqhathaniswa nanoma iyiphi ingqondo ekwazi ukukucabanga konke lokhu.!

Izingozi Zefilosofi

Inkinga enkulu ngempela ngefilosofi yomuntu ukuthi igxile kumuntu, ukubona okuhle kakhulu okungaba khona njengalokho okuletha umphumela ofiseleka kakhulu, ngokombono womuntu. Ngakho-ke lapho siphikelela ekuhloleni imiqondo efana nelungile, -ngalungile, ubulungisa kanye nenjabulo yokugcina ngokusebenzisa lens yezithakazelo zomuntu ezigxile kuwe, sinesibopho sokugcina sinombono ohlanekezelwe kanye neziphetho ezinephutha.

Ukuthatha Umbhalo Kokuqukethwe

Ngakho-ke okudingeka sikwenze nje ukubheka izitatimende zeBhayibheli ngalolu daba futhi lokho kuzosinika zonke izimpendulo., ecacile futhi elula - kwesokudla? Ingabe, kungekho. Yonke imibhalo iphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu: kodwa kulotshiwe ngabantu, ngokusebenzisa ulimi nemiqondo yabantu, okulinganiselwe ekuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kobuntu ngezinto futhi okungase futhi kuthonywe ukusabela kwethu kobuntu kanye nemizwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izincazelo zamagama kanye nemibono kuvame ukushintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ngakho-ke kufanele sibuze ukuthi ubani oshilo noma wenzeni, nini; futhi yini ngempela abayiqonda njengokubaluleka kwalawo mazwi nezenzakalo? Ingabe babebaqonda kahle, futhi sesiwuqondisile yini umyalezo uNkulunkulu awudlulisela kithi, ngabo, ngendlela efanele?

Yini enye, sibhekene nemiqondo (njengephakade!) okungaphezu kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu; kanye nobuqili bokwahlulela okuhle kanye nenjongo okungaphezu kwamandla ethu ukuba sikuqonde (njengasendabeni kaJobe). Ngakho, ngezikhathi, amaqiniso uNkulunkulu afuna ukusifundisa wona azosishiya sididekile.

Iqiniso liwukuthi kungenzeka ukuthola ‘imibhalo yobufakazi’ ezibonakala zisekela cishe yonke imibono evela, ‘wonke umuntu uya ezulwini ekugcineni,’ ukuze, ‘abantu abaningi bayohlushwa esihogweni kuze kube phakade.’ Ngakhoke, kuwubuwula ukuthatha zonke iziqephu ezikhuluma ngale ndaba bese sithi zisho lokho kanye esikucabangayo kuqala. Isitatimende ngasinye kufanele siqondwe kuqala ngomongo waso, bese-ke maqondana nabo bonke abanye. Futhi ngezinye izikhathi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela lokho umbhalo ongakusho njengalokho okwenzayo, funa sicabange okungaphezu kwalokho okuhlosiwe. Ngaphandle kwalokho, uzogcina usuziphikisa, uthi eminye imibhalo ayisho lokho ekushoyo noma ukuvele ulahle iBhayibheli lakho ngefasitela bese ufaka okuthile ocabanga ukuthi ‘kunengqondo kakhudlwana.!’

uJesu, Izinga Legolide Leqiniso

Ekugcineni, nguNkulunkulu kuphela owazi iqiniso eligcwele lalokho okuyokwenzeka lapho kufika usuku lokwahlulela. Yonke imizamo yomuntu yokuchaza yonakaliswe ukungazi kwethu. Ngakho okuwukuphela kwendlela esingayifunda ngayo iqiniso elingaguquki kungesambulo esiqondile esivela kuNkulunkulu. Ngokwemfundiso yobuKristu, UJesu uyiZwi likaNkulunkulu laphakade, woza kithi usesimweni somuntu, abulawe abuye kwabafileyo. Lokhu kumenza izinga legolide leqiniso. Kunoma yikuphi ukungqubuzana okusobala kokuhumusha phakathi kwemibhalo ehlukene noma imibono yabantu, amazwi kaJesu kufanele aze kuqala. Ngezinye izikhathi singase singakuqondi ngempela lokho asitshela khona; kodwa lokho kulungile. Akumangazi ukuthi izimo eziyinkimbinkimbi zokuphila zisishiya sididekile ngezinye izikhathi. Inselele yethu iwukufunda ukumethemba noma singaqondi - bheka Jn 3:3-13 futhi Jn 6:60-68.

“Ngokuba yilowo nalowo oyakuba namahloni ngami nangamazwi ami kulesi sizukulwane esiphingayo nesonayo, neNdodana yomuntu iyakuba namahloni ngaye, nxa iza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye lezingilosi ezingcwele.” (Mar 8:38)

UJesu Ekuhumusheni

Ulimi olujwayelekile lwasePalestine kuJesu’ usuku lwaluyisi-Aramu: kanti iTestamente Elisha libhalwe ngesiGreki. Izazi zazo zombili lezi zilimi ngezinye izikhathi zithanda ukuphawula ukuthi ‘ama-Aramaisms’ kuJesu’ amazwi aqokomisa iqiniso lokuthi wayevame ukukhuluma ngesi-Aramu; futhi la mazwi ahunyushelwa kamuva esiGrekini. Ezimweni eziningi, lokhu akubalulekile; njengoba abahumushi beqikelele kakhulu ukuhumusha uJesu’ amazwi ngokunembe ngangokunokwenzeka: kodwa izinkinga zingavela eqinisweni lokuthi akuwona wonke amagama olimini olulodwa afanelana ncamashi nolunye. Ngezinye izikhathi igama lesi-Aramu lingase libe nobubanzi bencazelo engatholakali esiGrekini (isihloko, ‘Isinkwa Sethu Daily,’ ixoxa ngesibonelo esisodwa esinjalo). Ngezinye izikhathi kungase kube igama lesiGreki elingase libe nencazelo ethe ukuvuleka noma encane kunesi-Aramu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kudingeka siqaphele izincazelo ezincike kakhulu ezincazelweni ezingacacile zegama lesiGreki.. Kudingeka sibuze ukuthi lokho kwethembela kuyafaneleka yini uma sicabangela umongo kanye nencazelo evamile kaJesu’ amazwi.

Kuphinde kube nenkinga ethile kulawo magama esiGreki ahlobene nokuphila, ukufa nobuphakade ngokwemvelo kuhlanganiswe ifilosofi yamaGreki. Kodwa uJesu ukhuluma lezi zindaba ngokombono wamaJuda amaningi (nakuba kungavumelani nemibono yendabuko yoRabi). Ngakho lapho uhumusha amagama anjalo kubaluleke kakhulu ukuhlola ukuthi ayeqondwa futhi asetshenziswa kanjani emibhalweni yeTestamente Elisha, esikhundleni sokuchaza izincazelo ezithathwe ezincwadini zesiGreki zasendulo noma zesimanje.
