Wkungani kunokuhlupheka okungaka
Isizathu 1: Inkululeko yokuzikhethela
Dumuntu akasona isigqila sikaNkulunkulu, kodwa uNkulunkulu umnike inkululeko yokuzikhethela ngomfanekiso wakhe. Lokhu kuphumela ekukhetheni phakathi kokuhle nokubi nayo yonke imiphumela. Lokho kusho ukuthi abantu banecala ngakho konke ukuhlupheka. Ngoba wonke umuntu uyazinqumela ukuthi ufuna ukwenza okuthile okuhle noma okubi komunye umuntu.
Ngeshwa, abantu abanemali eningi yibona abanamandla amakhulu.
Uma siqala emfanekisweni kaNkulunkulu wobuKristu, osekelwe ekulinganisweni kwesimiso sokugcina noma sokuqala (uNkulunkulu!) nokuhle, okuhle nokuyiqiniso (ngokukaPlato, okulandelwa yi-metaphysicians enkulu ye-Occident), uNkulunkulu angakwazi. ungalokothi ube yimbangela noma ube umsunguli wobubi nokuhlupheka emhlabeni. Kungakho umbuzo wokuhlupheka emhlabeni ungaphendulwa kuphela ngombono wenkululeko: Ngenxa yokuthi umuntu wenza izinqumo ezikhululekile ngokwakhe, angakwazi nokunquma ngokumelene nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi ngale ndlela abangele ububi bokuziphatha nokuhlupheka emhlabeni.
Isizathu sesi-2: imithetho yemvelo
DUkuhlupheka akubangelwa nje ububi bokuziphatha (okubangelwa inkululeko yomuntu yokuzikhethela), kodwa futhi kuvela emvelweni kube ngaphansi komthetho we-causality, ongahunyushwa njengokungathathi hlangothi, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ngale kokuhle nokubi kokuphakade kuyaqondwa. Siphinde sibhekisele kulokhu ngokuthi "izinto ezimbi emvelweni", okuhlanganisa, isibonelo, noma yiziphi izinhlekelele zemvelo (ukuzamazama komhlaba, iziphepho, ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo, njll.), izifo nokunye okunjalo. Lokhu "okubi" kuchazwa kuphela abantu njengokunjalo futhi, uma sikhuluma nje, empeleni abathathi hlangothi, okungukuthi akukuhle noma kubi. Kusondele emthethweni we-cosmic wokuba khona kwaphakade, imithetho yemvelo. Lo mthetho wemvelo waphakade awuwazi umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, kodwa umayelana nezinqubo zemvelo ezingathathi hlangothi. UNkulunkulu unikeze imvelo nendawo yonke lokhu kuguquguquka kokungathathi hlangothi kwayo, okufana “ne-perpetuum mobile” eqalisiwe. Ngeshwa, ngenxa yokuthi thina bantu singaphansi kodaba, kufanele sivumelane nalezi zinqubo zemvelo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, siyazi ukuthi ukuphila kwethu kunomkhawulo nokuthi kufanele sibekezelele lezi zinkathazo okwesikhashana. Kunalokho, singabeka wonke amathemba ethu ekuphileni okuphelele kwasezulwini kwangemva kokufa ukuze sikulwele. Ngokwalokhu kufanele sivumelanise ukuphila kwethu konke ngokulandela imithetho yaphezulu.
Gott ubumnandi
Izici ezintathu zisabalulekile uma kuziwa embuzweni wokuhlupheka:
UNkulunkulu uhlala lapho. Akayena unkulunkulu wesimo sezulu esilungile onyamalalayo lapho izinto zingahambi kahle, njengabanye abangane abavele bangasekho. Naphakathi kokuhlupheka uNkulunkulu unawe ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Kwesinye isikhathi uNkulunkulu uyangenelela aphilise. Lokhu akuboshelwe ekukholweni okukhulu noma emthandazweni onamandla. Uyakwenza nje. Kodwa uma engangeneleli ngokuqondile, lokho akusho ukuthi awukholwa ngokwanele. Noma engakuthandi.
Ngesikhathi esithile, konke ukuhlupheka kuzophela. IBhayibheli liphetha ngesithembiso sokuthi kuze kube phakade naphakade uNkulunkulu “uyosula izinyembezi zonke” (IsAmbulo 21:4).
Ukuhlupheka kwakho kungase kuqhubeke. Ungase ungayitholi impendulo ekuqaleni. Kodwa nakanjani inesiphetho. Nokho, kuze kube yileso sikhathi, umbuzo onzima kakhulu mina nawe esibhekene nawo njengabantu.
