Nokholo: Ngaba uyayazi le nkolelo ngokwasemthethweni?
Ukholo lolokuqala kwezintathu izinto ezilungileyo zakwalizwi; ezinye ezimbini zinethemba kunye nothando (okanye uthando). Ngokungafaniyo nezidima ezibalaseleyo, ezinokuthi zenziwe nangubani na, izidima zenkolo zizipho zikaThixo ngobabalo. Njengazo zonke ezinye izidima, izidima zakwalizwi yimikhwa; ukuziqhelanisa nokuziphatha okuhle kuyabomeleza. Kuba bejolise kwisiphelo esingaphaya kwendalo, nangona kunjalo-oko kukuthi, banaye uThixo "njengeyona nto bayifunayo ngokukhawuleza nangokufanelekileyo" (ngokwamagama e-Catholic Encyclopedia yowe-1913) -izidima zenkolo kufuneka zifakwe emphefumlweni.
Ke ukholo ayisiyonto ongaqala ngayo ukuyenza, kodwa yinto engaphaya kwendalo yethu. Singazivula kwisipho sokholo ngesenzo esifanelekileyo -ngokomzekelo, ukuziqhelanisa neempawu ezintle kunye nokusetyenziswa kwesizathu esifanelekileyo- kodwa ngaphandle kwesenzo sikaThixo, ukholo alunakuze luhlale emphefumlweni wethu.
Yintoni ukholo lwenkolo olungeyiyo
Uninzi lwexesha apho abantu basebenzisa igama ukholo, bathetha enye into ngaphandle kwesidima sobufundisi. I-Oxford American Dictionary ichaza kuqala "ukuthembela okupheleleyo okanye ukuthembela emntwini okanye kwinto ethile" kwaye inika "ukuthembela kwakho kwezopolitiko" njengomzekelo. Abantu abaninzi bayayiqonda into yokuba ukuthembela kwezopolitiko yinto eyahluke kwaphela kuleyo yokukholelwa kuThixo.Kodwa ukusetyenziswa kwelo gama linye kudla ngokuxuba amanzi kwaye kunciphise ubuhle bokholo kwinkolo emehlweni abo bangakholwayo ibe kukukholwa. ukuba luqinile kwaye luxhaswa ngokungenangqondo ezingqondweni zabo.Ngoko ukholo luyachaswa, ngokwengqiqo edumileyo, ukuqiqa; okwesibini, kuthiwa, kufuna ubungqina, ngelixa eyokuqala ibonakaliswa ngokwamkelwa ngokuzithandela kwezinto ekungekho bungqina bubambekayo.
Ukholo kukugqibelela kwengqondo
Ekuqondeni kobuKristu, nangona kunjalo, ukholo kunye nokuqiqa akuphikiswa kodwa kuyahambelana. Ukholo, ithi i-Catholic Encyclopedia, sisidima "esigqibezela ubukrelekrele ngokukhanya okungaphaya kwendalo", evumela ubukrelekrele ukuba "buvume ngokuqinisekileyo kwiinyani ezingaphaya kwendalo ze-Apocalypse". Ukholo, njengoko uSaint Paul esitsho kwileta eya kumaHebhere, "kukuqiniseka ngezinto ezithenjiweyo, bubungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo" (Hebhere 11: 1). Ngamanye amagama, luhlobo lolwazi oludlulela ngaphaya kwemida yendalo yengqondo yethu, ukusinceda ukuba siqonde iinyaniso zesityhilelo sikaThixo, iinyaniso esingenakufikelela kuzo ngoncedo lwesizathu sendalo.
Inyaniso yonke iyinyani kaThixo
Nangona iinyaniso zesityhilelo esingcwele zingenakufunyanwa ngesizathu sendalo, azinjalo, njengoko iingcali zala maxesha zihlala zisitsho, ngokuchasene nokuqiqa. Njengoko watsho u-Augustine oyiNgcwele, yonke inyaniso iyinyani kaThixo, nokuba ityhilwe ngokusebenza kwengqiqo okanye ngokutyhilwa nguThixo. Amandla obufundisi bokholo avumela umntu onayo ukuba abone ukuba iinyaniso zesizathu kunye nesityhilelo zihamba zivela kumthombo omnye.
Oko iingqondo zethu zingakwaziyo ukuqonda
Oku akuthethi ukuba ukholo luyasivumela ukuba siziqonde ngokupheleleyo iinyani zesityhilelo esingcwele. Ubukrelekrele, nokuba bukhanyiswe bubufundisi bokholo, bunemiqathango: kobu bomi, umzekelo, umntu akanakuze ayiqonde ngokupheleleyo imeko kaBathathu Emnye, yendlela anokuba nguThixo ngayo bobabini abe mnye noBathathu. Njengokuba i-Catholic Encyclopedia icacisa, “Ukukhanya kokholo, ke ngoko, kukhanyisa ukuqonda, nokuba inyani isahleli ingaziwa, kuba ingaphaya kokuqonda kwengqondo; kodwa ubabalo olungaphaya kwendalo lushukumisela intando, esele inento elungileyo engaphaya kwendalo, ityhalele ukuqonda ukuba ikuvume oko ingakuqondiyo. Okanye, njengoko uguqulelo oludumileyo lweTantum Ergo Sacramentum isitsho, "Izinto zethu ezingakwaziyo ukuziqonda / sizama ukuziqonda ngemvume yokholo."
Ukuphulukana nokholo
Kuba ukholo sisipho esingaphaya kwendalo esivela kuThixo, kwaye ekubeni umntu enenkululeko yokuzikhethela, singaluvuma ngokukhululekileyo ukholo. Xa sivukela elubala uThixo ngesono sethu, uThixo unokusirhoxisa isipho sokholo. Ewe ayizukubakho; kodwa ukuba uyakwenza oko, ukuphulukana nokholo kunganxunguphalisa, kuba iinyaniso ezazifudula zisaziwa ngoncedo lwale mfundiso yobuthixo ngoku zinokungaqondakali kubukrelekrele bungancediswa. Njengokuba i-Catholic Encyclopedia isitsho, "Mhlawumbi oku kungacacisa ukuba kutheni abo banelishwa lokuwexuka elukholweni behlala bekhohlakele kuhlaselo lwabo lokholo," nangaphezu kwabo bangazange basikelelwe ngesipho ukholo kuqala.
