Ingelosi ekuthiwa yi-Guardian ikunceda ebomini kodwa nasekufeni. yindlela
Iingelosi, eziye zanceda amadoda ngexesha lokuphila kwazo emhlabeni, zisenomsebenzi obalulekileyo ekufuneka ziwenzile ngexesha lokufa kwabo. Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ukuqaphela indlela isithethe sebhayibhile kunye nesiko lefilosofi lamaGrike elingqinelana nomsebenzi we "Imimoya" yengqondo, oko kukuthi, yeeNgelosi ezinomsebenzi wokukhapha umphefumlo ukuya kwindawo yawo yokugqibela. Oorabhi bamaJuda bafundisa ukuba kuphela ngabo banemiphefumlo ethwelwe ziingelosi abangangeniswa ezulwini. Kumzekeliso odumileyo kaLazaro ohlwempuzekileyo kunye neDives ezizityebi, nguYesu ngokwakhe owuchaza lo msebenzi kwiingelosi. "Umfama wasweleka wathwalwa ziingelosi wasisa esifubeni sika-Abraham" (Lk 16,22). Ekufundeni kwe-Judeo-Christian apocalyptic yeenkulungwane zokuqala sithetha ngeengelosi ezintathu, "ezigubungela umzimba ka-Adam (okomntu)" ngeelinen ezixabisekileyo kwaye zithambise ngeoyile enuka kamnandi, ziyibeke emqolombeni Iliwa, ngaphakathi emngxunyeni owombiweyo wakhelwa yena. Uya kuhlala apho kude kube luvuko lokugqibela ". Emva koko u-Abbatan, iNgelosi yokufa, iya kubonakala iqala amadoda kolu hambo luza kumgwebo; kumaqela ahlukeneyo ngokokulunga kwawo, ahlala ekhokelwa ziingelosi.
Umfanekiso weengelosi ezincedisa umphefumlo ngexesha lokufa kwaye zihamba nazo ukuya eZulwini ziqheleke kakhulu phakathi kwababhali bokuqala abangamaKristu naphakathi kwaBawo beCawa. Esona sibonakaliso sidala nesicacileyo salo msebenzi wezithunywa zezulu sifumaneka kwiZenzo zoMnqweno kaSanta Perpetua kunye nabalingane, ezibhalwe ngo-203, xa uSatyr exelela ngombono awayenawo entolongweni: "Sasiyishiyile inyama yethu, xa iingelosi ezine, Ukusichukumisa, wasisa kwicala laseMpuma. Khange silayishwe kwindawo yesiqhelo, kodwa sizive ngathi sinyuka ithambeka elilunge kakhulu ”. UTertullian kwi "De Anima" ubhala athi: "Xa, ngenxa yesidima sokufa, umphefumlo ukhutshwa kubunzima bayo benyama kwaye utsiba uphume kwisigqubuthelo somzimba usiya ekukhanyeni okumsulwa, okulula nokusereni, uyavuya kwaye Uqala ukubona ubuso bengelosi yakhe, elungiselela ukumkhapha aye ekhayeni lakhe ”. U-St. John Chrysostom, kunye nengqondo yakhe engumzekeliso, ephawula ngomzekeliso ka-Lazaro ohluphekileyo, uthi: "Ukuba sifuna isikhokelo, xa sidlula kwenye idolophu sisiya kwesinye, wobeka phi na ke umphefumlo owaphula amakhamandela enyama adlule kubomi bexesha elizayo, uzakufuna umntu oza kumbonisa indlela ”.
Ekuthandazeleni abafileyo kulisiko ukubongoza uncedo lweNgelosi. Ku "Life of Macrina", uGregory Nyssen ubeka lo mthandazo umangalisayo kwimilebe kadade wabo owayesifa: 'Ndithumele iNgelosi yokukhanya ukuba indikhokelele ndisiya kwindawo yohlaziyo, apho afumaneka khona amanzi okuphumla, esifubeni soosolusapho. '.
UMgaqo-siseko wabapostile unale mithandazo yabangasekhoyo: “Jongisa amehlo akho kumkhonzi wakho. Mxolele ukuba wonile kwaye wenze iiNgelosi zenzele kuye ”. Kwimbali yezenkolo zonqulo ezasekwa nguSanta Pachomius sifunda ukuba, xa umntu olungileyo kwaye ehlonela uThixo esifa, iingelosi ezine ziziswa kuye, emva koko umngcelele uphakama unomphefumlo emoyeni, usinga eMpuma, iingelosi ezimbini zithwala , ephepheni, umphefumlo womfi, ngelixa ingelosi yesithathu icula iingoma ngolwimi olungaziwayo. U-St. Gregory the Great uthi kwii-Dialogues zakhe: 'Kuyimfuneko ukwazi ukuba ooMoya abasikelelweyo bacula kamnandi iindumiso zikaThixo, xa imiphefumlo yabanyuliweyo ishiya eli hlabathi ukuze, bexakeke kukuqonda le mvisiswano yasezulwini, abaziva ukwahlukana kwimizimba yabo. .
