Ukuzinikela kwiingelosi: Ngaba iBhayibhile ithetha njani ngeengelosi ezizi-Guardian?
Akubobulumko ukucinga ngobunyani beengelosi ezingabalindi ngaphandle kokujonga ukuba zeziphi na iingelosi zebhayibhile. Imifanekiso kunye neenkcazo zeengelosi kwimidiya, ubugcisa kunye noncwadi zihlala zisinika umbono ogqwethekileyo ngezi zidalwa zibalaseleyo.
Iingelosi ngamanye amaxesha ziboniswa njengeekherubhi ezintle, ezityebileyo nezingoyikisi. Kwimizobo emininzi, zikhangeleka njengezidalwa ezizimazi ezinxibe iingubo ezimhlophe. Ngokwandayo kubugcisa, nangona kunjalo, iingelosi ziboniswa njengamagorha omeleleyo, angamadoda.
Abantu abaninzi baphambene neengelosi. Abanye bade bathandaze kwiingelosi becela uncedo okanye basikelele, phantse njengokufuna inkwenkwezi. Abaqokeleli kwiiKlabhu zeeNgelosi baqokelela "zonke iingelosi". Ezinye zeemfundiso zeNtsha eNtsha ziqhuba iisemina zeengelosi ukunceda abantu ukuba banxibelelane neengelosi ukuze "bakhokelwe nguThixo" okanye bafumane "unyango lwezingelosi" Ngelishwa, iingelosi zinokusebenza njengenye into ekujoliswe kuyo kwelinye ilizwe ukuba ivele "ngokwasemoyeni" kodwa ingajongani ngqo neNkosi.
Nokuba kwezinye iicawa, amakholwa akaqondi injongo yeengelosi nomsebenzi wazo. Ngaba zikhona iingelosi zokugada? Ewe kunjalo, kodwa kufuneka sibuze imibuzo. Zinjani iingelosi? Ngoobani ababukele kwaye ngoba? Ngaba iyakhusela yonke into abayenzayo?
Ngoobani ezi zidalwa zizukileyo?
Kwiingelosi, ithambo leParadesi, uGqr. UDavid Jeremiah ubhala athi: "Iingelosi zikhankanywa izihlandlo ezili-108 kwiTestamente eNdala namaxesha ali-165 kwiTestamente eNtsha." Ndifumana izidalwa ezingaqhelekanga zesibhakabhaka ezikhankanywe amaxesha amaninzi kwaye noko kungacaciswanga.
Iingelosi "ngabathunywa" bakaThixo, izidalwa zakhe ezikhethekileyo, ezibizwa ngokuba "ngamadangatye omlilo" kwaye ngamanye amaxesha zichazwa njengeenkwenkwezi zomlilo ezulwini. Zadalwa kanye ngaphambi kokusekwa komhlaba. Babedalelwe ukwenza imiyalelo kaThixo, ukuthobela ukuthanda kwakhe. Iingelosi zizidalwa zokomoya, ezingabotshiwe ngumxhuzulane okanye eminye imikhosi yendalo. Abatshati okanye babe nabantwana. Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeengelosi: iikerubhi, iiserafi kunye neengelosi ezinkulu.
IBhayibhile izichaza njani iingelosi?
Iingelosi azibonakali ngaphandle kokuba uThixo ukhetha ukuzenza zibonakale. Iingelosi ezithile ziye zavela kwimbali yoluntu, ngenxa yokuba zinokungafi, zingenayo imizimba yenyama egugileyo. Umkhosi weengelosi mkhulu kakhulu ukuba ungabalwa; kwaye ngelixa zingenamandla onke njengoThixo, iingelosi zigqwesile ngamandla.
Banokusebenzisa intando yabo kwaye, kwixa elidlulileyo, ezinye iingelosi zikhethe ngokuzingca ukuvukela uThixo kunye nokulandela i-ajenda yabo, kamva baba lutshaba olukhulu loluntu; inani elingenakubalwa leengelosi zahlala zithembekile kwaye zithobela uThixo, zimnqula kwaye zikhonza abangcwele.
Nangona iingelosi zinokubakho kunye nathi kwaye zisimamele, ayingoThixo. Akufuneki banqulwe okanye bathandazelwe kuba baphantsi kukaKristu. URandy Alcorn wabhala ezulwini, "Akukho siseko seBhayibhile sokuzama ukunxibelelana neengelosi ngoku." Nangona iingelosi zibonakala zikrelekrele kwaye zilumkile, uAlcorn uthi, "Kufuneka sicele ubulumko kuThixo, hayi kwiingelosi" (Yakobi 1: 5). "
Nangona kunjalo, kuba iingelosi bezinamakholwa kubomi babo bonke, baye babona kwaye bayazi. Baye babona uninzi lweziganeko ezisikelelekileyo nezeentlekele ebomini bethu. Ngaba akuyi kuba yinto entle ngenye imini ukuva amabali abo malunga nento eyenzekayo emva kwezigcawu?
Ngaba ikholwa ngalinye linengelosi egadileyo?
Ngoku makhe sifike entliziyweni yale ngxaki. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, iingelosi zigada amakholwa, kodwa ngaba wonke umlandeli ka-Kristu unenye ingelosi ayabelweyo?
Ukutyhubela imbali, uninzi lweempikiswano eziye zavela malunga nomKristu ngamnye eneengelosi ezithile. Abanye ootata becawa, abanjengoThomas Aquinas, bakholelwa kwizithunywa ezabelweyo kwasekuzalweni. Abanye, njengoJohn Calvin, bayayikhaba le ngcamango.
UMateyu 18:10 ubonakala ngathi ucebisa ukuba "abancinci" - amakholwa amatsha okanye abafundi abanokuzithemba okufana nomntwana-bakhathalelwe "ziingelosi zabo". UJohn Piper uyicacisa le vesi ngale ndlela: "Igama" bona "ngokuqinisekileyo lithetha ukuba ezi ngelosi zinendima ekhethekileyo eziyidlalayo ngokunxulumene nabafundi bakaYesu. Kodwa isininzi" iingelosi "zinokuthetha nje ukuba onke amakholwa aneengelosi ezininzi. ukubakhonza, hayi abe mnye. “Oku kuphakamisa ukuba naliphi na inani leengelosi, 'ezibona ubuso' bukaBawo, zinokuxela ukuba ziyaphangela xa uThixo ebona abantwana baKhe badinga ungenelelo olukhethekileyo. Iingelosi zihlala ziphantsi komyalelo kaThixo njengabaveleli nabagcini.
Oku sikubona kwiZibhalo xa iingelosi zarhangqa uElisha kunye nesicaka sakhe, xa uLazaro wayethwelwe ziingelosi emva kokufa, naxa uYesu waqaphela ukuba wayenokubiza imikhosi yeengelosi ezili-12 - malunga nama-72.000- ukumnceda ambambe.
Ndikhumbula ixesha lokuqala lo mfanekiso ubamba iingcinga zam. Endaweni yokujonga "ingelosi engumlindi" ukuba indincede njengoko ndandifundisiwe ukusuka ebuntwaneni, ndaqonda ukuba uThixo angadibanisa amawaka eengelosi azokundinceda, ukuba intando yakhe injalo!
Kwaye ngaphezulu kwayo yonke loo nto, ndaziva ndikhuthazekile ukukhumbula ukuba ndihlala ndifumaneka kuThixo. Inamandla amakhulu kunezingelosi.
