Sidinga ukuqonda ngeSonto
"Woza ngeSonto" yindaba yomoya onesibindi noma inhlekelele esiko lenkolo elinikeza abalandeli bayo amathuluzi ambalwa okwenza umqondo wokholo lwabo?
Eminyakeni engama-25 edlule, noma ngaphezulu, ubuProthestani obungavunyelwe ukubonakala sengathi buye baba inkolo yezwe yokuziqhenya kwaseMelika futhi kula masonto amaningi wonke umfundisi uyipapa. Ababhekani nezidingo zemfundo futhi umthwalo wabo kuphela ozafika lapho ibhasikidi lokunikezwayo lidluliwe. Uma kugcwele ngokwanele, khona-ke umusa uyanda. Uma umshumayeli ehlikihla abathembekile ngendlela engafanele, asebenzisa kabi ukwethembana kwabo noma umane nje abatshele izinto abangafuni ukuzizwa, bayahamba.
Ngakho-ke kwenzekani lapho omunye walaba befundisi eba umprofethi? Kuthiwani uma ezwa ngobuqotho umyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu ophonsela inselelo imihlambi yakhe? Le yindaba eyatshelwa kwifilimu entsha yasekuqaleni yeNetflix Woza ngeSonto, idrama esekwe kubantu nezehlakalo zangempela zempilo. Futhi, ngale ndlela, le filimu ingenze ngabonga kakhulu ngokuba sesontweni elinemfundiso egunyaziwe yokuhumusha umBhalo ngokwesizathu nesiko.
UCarlton Pearson, umlingisi ophambili weWe Sunday, odlalwa nguChiwetel Ejiofor (USorth Northrup ngeminyaka eyi-12 eyisigqila), wayengusuperstar wase-American American megachurch. Ugunyazwe ukushumayela eneminyaka eyi-15, wagcina e-Oral Roberts University (i-ORU) futhi waba ngumdidiyeli womsunguli we-televangelist wesikole. Kungekudala ngemuva kokuphothula iziqu e-ORU, wahlala eTulsa wasungula isonto elikhulu, okuyinkampani ehlanganiswe ngokobuhlanga futhi (ngokusobala) engabizwa ngamagama yakhula ngokushesha yaba ngamalungu ayi-5.000. Ukushumayela kwakhe nokucula kwamenza waba yisizwe ezweni labavangeli. Wahamba kulo lonke izwe ememezela ukuphuthuma kwesipiliyoni sokuzalwa kabusha komKristu.
Ngakho-ke umalume wakhe oneminyaka engama-70, ongakaze eze kuJesu, wazilengisa esitokisini sakhe ejele. Akuphelanga sikhathi esingakanani, uPearson waphaphama phakathi kobusuku, enyakazisa ingane yakhe, lapho ibona umbiko wentambo ngokuqothulwa kwabantu, impi nendlala eCentral Africa. Kule filimu, ngenkathi izithombe zezidumbu zase-Afrika zigcwalisa isikrini se-TV, amehlo kaPearson agcwala izinyembezi. Uhlala kuze kube sebusuku kakhulu, ekhala, abheke eBhayibhelini lakhe futhi athandaze.
Esimweni esilandelayo sibona uPearson phambi kwebandla lakhe ngosayizi weColosseum ositshela ngokwenzeka ngalobo busuku. Wayengakhalanga ngoba abantu abangenacala babulawa ukufa okunesihluku nokufa okungadingekile. Wakhala ngoba labo bantu babeya ekuhlushweni kwaphakade kwesihogo.
Ngalobo busuku obude, kusho uPearson, uNkulunkulu wamtshela ukuthi sonke isintu sesisindisiwe futhi sizokwamukelwa phambi kwakhe. Lezi zindaba zamukelwa ngukudideka okugcwele nokusakazeka okukhona phakathi kwebandla nentukuthelo ephelele yabasebenzi abaphezulu. UPearson uchitha isonto elilandelayo lapho eyedwa endaweni eyimotela yendawo yakhe neBhayibheli lakhe, ezila ukudla futhi ethandaza. U-Oral Roberts uqobo (odlalwe nguMartin Sheen) ukhombisa ukutshela uPearson ukuthi udinga ukuzindla ngabaseRoma 10: 9, othi ukuze usindiswe kumele "uvume iNkosi uJesu ngomlomo wakho". URobert uthembisa ukuthi uzovela esontweni lasePearson ngeSonto elilandelayo ezolalela ukuthi akhishwe.
Lapho ngeSonto lifika, uPearson uthatha isiteji, kanti, noRobert, ubukele, ethukile ubamba amagama. Ubheka amaRoma 10: 9 ebhayibhelini lakhe bese kubonakala sengathi uzoqala ukubuyela emuva, kepha esikhundleni salokho uphendulela ku-1 Johane 2: 2: “. . . UJesu Kristu . . . kungumhlatshelo wokuhlawulela izono zethu, hhayi owethu kuphela kodwa futhi nezono zomhlaba wonke ".
Njengoba uPearson evikela ubuntu bakhe obusha, wonke amalungu ebandla, okubandakanya uRoberts, aqala ukuthandana. Ngesonto elilandelayo, abefundisi abamhlophe abane abavela kubasebenzi bakaPearson beza bezomtshela ukuthi sebezohamba bayofuna isonto labo. Ekugcineni, uPearson ubizelwe esigungwini sababhishobhi baseMelika baseMelika futhi wamenyezelwa njengodumo.
Ekugcineni sibona uPearson eqhubekela phambili esenzweni sesibili sempilo yakhe, enikeza intshumayelo yezivakashi esontweni laseCaliforni eliholwa ngumfundisi wase-Afrika waseMelika, futhi umbhalo osesikrinini usitshela ukuthi usahlala eTulsa nabefundisi be-All Souls Unitarian Church.
Izilaleli eziningi kungenzeka zithathe i-Woza ngeSonto njengendaba yomoya onesibindi nokuzimela ochotshozwe yizazi ezinengqondo ezinomqondo omncane. Kepha usizi olukhulu lapha ukuthi isiko lenkolo likaPearson limnikeze amathuluzi ambalwa kakhulu okwenza kubonakale ukholo lwakhe.
Ukuqagela okokuqala kukaPearson ngesihe sikaNkulunkulu kubonakala kukuhle futhi kuyiqiniso. Kodwa-ke, lapho ephuthuma kuleso sinqumo ngqo endaweni lapho kungekho khona isihogo futhi wonke umuntu uyasindiswa, noma ngabe kuyini, ngazithola sengimncenga, “Funda ama Katolika; funda ama Katolika! "Kodwa kusobala ukuthi akakaze akwenze lokho.
Uma enza kanjalo, wayezothola indikimba yokufundisa ephendula imibuzo yakhe ngaphandle kokulahla inkolelo yobuKristu bo-Orthodox. Isihogo wukuhlukaniswa kwaphakade noNkulunkulu, futhi kumele kube khona ngoba uma abantu benenkululeko yokuzikhethela kumele futhi bakhululeke ukwenqaba uNkulunkulu. Ngabe ukhona esihogweni? Ngabe bonke bayasindiswa? NguNkulunkulu kuphela owaziyo, kepha isonto lisifundisa ukuthi bonke abasindisiwe, "bangamaKristu" noma cha, basindiswa nguKristu ngoba uKristu ngandlela thile ukhona kubo bonke abantu, ngazo zonke izikhathi, kuzo zonke izimo zabo ezahlukahlukene.
Isiko lenkolo likaCarlton Pearson (kanye nengakhulela kuye) ngukuthi uFlannery O'Connor wagcotshwa ngokuthi "isonto likaKristu ngaphandle kukaKristu". Esikhundleni sokuba khona kwangempela kukaKristu ku-Eucharist kanye nokulandelana kwabaphostoli, la maKristu anamaBhayibheli abo kuphela, incwadi ethi, ebusweni bakhe, isho izinto ezibonakala sengathi ziyaphikisana ezindabeni eziningi ezibalulekile.
Ukuze ube nokukholwa okunengqondo, igunya lokuhumusha leyo ncwadi kumele limane lisuselwe kokunye okungekhona emandleni okuheha isixuku esikhulu kakhulu kanye nebhasikidi lokuqoqa eliphelele.
