Yini izipoki kumaKristu?
AmaKrestu amaningi engiwaziyo athi izindaba zezipoki zizenzakalisi zemvelo noma imisebenzi yamademoni. Kodwa ingabe lezi ukuphela kwezinketho ezimbili?
ISonto alikaze liwuxazulule ngokuqinisekile lo mbuzo - empeleni, ezinye zezazi zalo zenkolo ezinkulu kakhulu azivumelani. Kepha iSonto likuqinisekisile ukubonakala okuningi kwabangcwele abangasekho kanye nemiyalezo abayiphethe. Lokhu kusinikeza okuthile okufanele sikwenze.
Isipoki sivela egameni lesiNgisi elidala elihlobene ne-geist yaseJalimane, okusho ukuthi "umoya," futhi amaKrestu ngokuqinisekile akholelwa emimoyeni: uNkulunkulu, izingelosi kanye nemiphefumulo yabantu abangasekho konke kuyafaneleka. Abaningi bathi imiphefumulo yabafileyo akufanele izulazule phakathi kwabaphilayo, ngoba emva kokufa umphefumulo ongabonakali uyahlukana nomzimba wenyama kuze kube sekuvukeni (Isambulo 20: 5, 12-13). Kepha kukhona izizathu ezinhle zokukholelwa ukuthi imimoya yabantu iyavela eMhlabeni?
EmBhalweni oNgcwele sifunda ngemimoya yabantu ebonakala kwabaphilayo. Isibonelo, umthakathi wase-Endor ukhumbula isipoki somprofethi uSamuweli (1 Sam 28: 3-25). Ukuthi lo mthakathi uthuswe yilo mcimbi kusikisela ukuthi izimangalo zakhe zaphambilini zokukhulisa imimoya kungenzeka ukuthi zingamanga, kepha uMbhalo ubabonisa njengomcimbi wangempela ongafanelekile. Sitshelwa nokuthi uJudas Maccabeus wahlangana nesipoki sika-Onias umpristi omkhulu embonweni (2 Macc 15: 11-17).
KwiVangeli likaMathewu, abafundi babona uMose no-Eliya (ababengakavuki) benoJesu eNtabeni yokuguqulwa isimo (Mt 17: 1-9). Ngaphambi kwalokhu, abafundi babecabanga ukuthi uJesu uqobo wayeyisipoki (uMathewu 14:26), okukhombisa ukuthi okungenani babenombono wezipoki. Ebonakala ngemuva kokuvuka kwakhe, esikhundleni sokulungisa wona kanye umqondo wezipoki, uJesu umane athi akayedwa (uLuka 24: 37-39).
ImiBhalo, ngakho-ke, isinikeza izibonelo ezicacile zemimoya ekhombisa ukungabonakali emzimbeni eMhlabeni futhi ayiqophi ukuthi uJesu wawenza lo mbono lapho esenethuba. Ngakho-ke, inkinga ibonakala ingeyona engenzeka kepha ingenzeka ngamathuba.
Abanye oFata BeSonto bakwenqaba ukuba khona kwezipoki, futhi abanye bachaza isigameko sikaSamuel njengesenzo samademoni. USt. Augustine ubalule ukuthi iningi lezindaba eziyizipoki yimibono yezingelosi, kepha ukukhathazeka kwakhe kubonakala sengathi bekugxile kakhulu ekulweni nezinkolelo zobuhedeni kunamathuba okulingisa. Ngempela, wavumela uNkulunkulu ukuthi abuyise imimoya evakashile kwezinye izimo futhi wavuma ukuthi “uma sithi lezi zinto zingamanga, ngokungenandaba sizobukeka siphikisana nemibhalo yabathile abathembekile futhi siphikisana nezinzwa zalabo abathi lezi zinto kwenzeke kubo “.
USt. Thomas Aquinas akavumelananga no-Augustine ngodaba lwezipoki, waphetha ngokwengeza engxenyeni yesithathu yeSumma ukuthi "kuyabheda ukusho ukuthi imiphefumulo yabafileyo ayishiyi ikhaya labo". Eqinisekisa ukuthi u-Augustine "wayekhuluma" ngokwenkambiso ejwayelekile yemvelo "ekuphikiseni ukuthi kungenzeka kube nezipoki, u-Aquinas wathi
ngokwesimo sikaNkulunkulu, imiphefumulo ehlukene kwesinye isikhathi ishiya amakhaya ayo ivele kubantu. . . Kuyathembeka futhi ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi lokhu kungenzeka kwabalahliwe, nokuthi kwimfundo nokwesatshiswa komuntu kuvunyelwe ukuvela kwabaphilayo.
Futhi, wathi, imiphefumulo "iyakwazi ukubonakala kahle kwabaphilayo lapho ifuna."
Akugcinanga lapho u-Aquinas akholelwa ekutheni kungenzeka kube nezipoki, kubonakala sengathi naye wahlangana nazo uqobo. Izikhathi ezimbili eziqoshiwe, imiphefumulo eshonile yavakashela uDokotela oyi-Angelic: UMfoweth 'uRomano (uThomas angazange abone ukuthi wayeseshonile!), Nodadewabo ka-Aquino ongasekho.
Kepha uma imiphefumulo ingavela ngokuthanda, kungani bengakwenzi ngaso sonke isikhathi? Lokhu bekuyingxenye yempikiswano ka-Augustine enqabela okungenzeka. U-Aquinas uyaphendula: “Yize abafileyo bengabonakala kwabaphilayo ngendlela abafisa ngayo. . . bahambisana ngokuphelele nentando yaphezulu, ukuze bangenzi lutho ngaphandle kwalokho abakubona kuvumelana nesimo saphezulu, noma basindwa kakhulu yizijeziso zabo kangangokuba ubuhlungu babo bokungajabuli budlula isifiso sabo sokubonakala kwabanye ”.
Ithuba lokuvakashelwa yimiphefumulo engasekho akuchazi neze ukuhlangana okungokomoya. Yize imisebenzi yamademoni emiBhalweni ilanyulwa ngezidalwa eziphilayo, zomzimba (ngisho nezesilwane), akukho lutho emiBhalweni noma eSikweni elibakhawulela kulolu hlobo lomsebenzi. Izingelosi zavela futhi zaxhumana nezinto zomzimba nabantu, kanti namademoni yizingelosi eziwile. AmaKhatholika ajwayele ukubhekana nemimoya eyeqile athi ukuzingelwa ngodlame noma okubi kungaba ngamademoni ngokwemvelo.
Ngakho-ke yize kungalungile futhi kungasekelwe eBhayibhelini ukucabanga ukuthi konke ukubonakaliswa okufana nesipoki kuvela kumademoni, futhi akukhona ukuhlakanipha ukucabanga ukuthi ayikho neyodwa yazo!
Lokho kusho ukuthi, uma isipoki senzelwe nje ukuba ngumoya womuntu oshonile ovela eMhlabeni, kungaba ngamandla awo noma ngokwenhloso ekhethekile yaphezulu, asikwazi ukusula izindaba eziyizipoki njengokukhohlisa noma kobudemoni.
Ngakho-ke, kufanele siqaphele ukuthi singahluleli ngokushesha okukhulu. Okuhlangenwe nakho okunjalo kungavela kuNkulunkulu, izingelosi zazo zonke izinhlobo noma imimoya engasekho - futhi ukusabela kwethu kulokhu kufanele kwehluke kakhulu. UNkulunkulu kuphela okufanele akhulekelwe; izingelosi ezinhle kufanele zinikezwe inhlonipho (IsAm 22: 8-9) nezingelosi ezimbi ziqhelelene kakhulu. Mayelana nemimoya yabantu abangasekho: Yize iSonto likufakazela ukukhulekelwa okufanele nokukhulekelwa nabangcwele, kanye nomBhalo kuyakwenqabela ukubhula noma ukubhula - ukubiza abafileyo noma eminye imikhuba ehlose ukufuna ulwazi olungavunyelwe (isb., UDut.18: 11 qhathanisa 19:31; 20: 6, 27; CCC 2116).
Uma ubona isipoki, into enhle kakhulu ongayenza mhlawumbe yinto efanayo esiyenzayo emiphefumulweni efile - abafowethu abangamaKristu ngakolunye uhlangothi lweveli - esingababoni: thandaza.
