Inkolo yehlabathi: Ubulumko, isipho sokuqala nesiphezulu soMoya oyiNgcwele
Ngokwemfundiso yamaKatolika, ubulumko sesinye sezipho ezisixhenxe zoMoya oyiNgcwele, ezidweliswe kuIsaya 11:2–3. Ezi zipho zikho ngokuzeleyo kwazo kuYesu Kristu, owaxelwa kwangaphambili nguIsaya (Isaya 11:1). Ngokwembono yamaKatolika, abathembekileyo bafumana izipho ezisixhenxe ezivela kuThixo, ophakathi kwethu ngamnye. Balubonakalisa olo babalo lwangaphakathi ngokuvakalisa iisakramente zangaphandle. Ezi zipho zenzelwe ukudlulisela intsingiselo yecebo likaThixo uYise losindiso okanye, njengoko iCatechism yangoku yeCawa yamaKatolika isitsho (isiqe. 1831), “Zigqibezela zize zigqibelele iimpawu ezintle zabo bazifumanayo.”
Ukufezeka kokholo
AmaKatolika akholelwa ukuba ubulumko bungaphezu kolwazi. Kukugqibelela kokholo, ukwandiswa kwemeko yenkolelo kwisimo sokuqonda loo nkolelo. Njengoko p. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ, uthi kwi“Modern Catholic Dictionary” yakhe.
“Apho ukholo ilulwazi olulula lwamanqaku enkolelo yobuKristu, ubulumko buyaqhubeka nokuqonda okuthile kobuthixo kwiinyaniso ngokwazo.”
Okukhona amaKatolika eziqonda ngakumbi ezi nyaniso, kokukhona ekwazi ukuzihlolisisa ngokuchanileyo. ICatholic Encyclopedia ithi, xa abantu bengazibandakanyi nehlabathi, ubulumko “busenza singcamle size sithande izinto zasezulwini kuphela.” Ubulumko buvumela ukuba sigwebe izinto zehlabathi ekukhanyeni komda ophakamileyo womntu: ukucinga kukaThixo.
Ngenxa yokuba obu bulumko bukhokelela ekuliqondeni ngokucokisekileyo iLizwi likaThixo nemithetho Yakhe, nto leyo ekhokelela kubomi obungcwele nobobulungisa, bubokuqala nesona siphakamileyo sezipho ezinikelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
Sebenzisa ubulumko ehlabathini
Eli qela, nangona kunjalo, alifani nokulahlwa kwehlabathi, kude nalo. Kunoko, njengoko amaKatolika ekholelwa, ubulumko busenza sithande ihlabathi ngokufanelekileyo, njengendalo kaThixo, kunokuba silithande ngenxa yalo. Ihlabathi lezinto ezibonakalayo, nangona lawa ngenxa yesono sika-Adam no-Eva, lisafanele uthando lwethu; kufuneka nje sikubone ngendlela efanelekileyo yaye ubulumko buyasivumela ukuba senjenjalo.
Ngokwazi ulungelelwaniso oluchanekileyo lwezinto eziphathekayo kunye nehlabathi lomoya ngobulumko, amaKatolika angakwazi ukuthwala lula imithwalo yobu bomi kwaye aphendule kubazalwana babo ngothando kunye nomonde.
Ubulumko beZibhalo
Izicatshulwa ezininzi zezibhalo zithetha ngale ngcamango yobulumko bobuthixo. Ngokomzekelo, iNdumiso 111:10 ithi ubomi obuphilwa ngobulumko yeyona ndumiso iphakamileyo enikwa uThixo:
“Yingqalo yokulumka ukoyika uYehova; banengqondo entle bonke abenzayo. Indumiso yakhe ingunaphakade! ”
Ngaphezu koko, ubulumko abusosiphelo kodwa yimbonakaliso ehlala ihleli ezintliziyweni nasezingqondweni zethu, indlela yokuphila ngovuyo, ngokutsho kukaYakobi 3:17 :
“Ubulumko obuvela phezulu kuqala bunyulu, bandule ke bube boboxolo, bunobubele, buvuleleke ekucingeni, buzele yinceba neziqhamo ezilungileyo, abunamkhethe yaye bunyanisekile.”
Ekugqibeleni obona bulumko buphakamileyo bufumaneka emnqamlezweni kaKristu, othi:
“Impambano kwabo batshabalalayo, kodwa kuthi thina basindiswayo ingamandla kaThixo” (1 Korinte 1:18).
