Ingabe amaqaba ayakholelwa ezingelosini?
Ngesinye isikhathi, ungaqala ukuzibuza ngomqondo wezingelosi zokugada. Isibonelo, mhlawumbe omunye umuntu ukutshele ukuthi kukhona okuqaphile ... kepha izingelosi azitholakali kakhulu ebuKristwini lobuhedeni? Ingabe amaqaba ayakholelwa ngisho ezingelosini?
Yebo, njengezinye izici eziningi zomhlaba wezingathekiso nomphakathi ohambisana nawo, impendulo izoncika ekutheni ngubani owubuzayo. Kwesinye isikhathi, kuyindaba nje yamagama. Ngokuvamile, izingelosi zibhekwa njengohlobo lwamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo noma lomoya. Kwivoti ye-Associated Press eyaqalwa ngonyaka ka-2011, cishe ama-80% abantu baseMelika babika ukuthi bayakholelwa ezingelosini, futhi lokhu kufaka nabangewona amaKristu ababambe iqhaza.
Uma ubheka ukuhunyushwa kwebhayibheli ngezingelosi, zisetshenziswa ngokuqondile njengezinceku noma izithunywa zikankulunkulu wobuKristu. Eqinisweni, eTestamenteni Elidala, igama lokuqala lesiHeberu elisebenzisa ingelosi lalinguMalak, elihumusha ukuthi liyisithunywa. Ezinye izingelosi zibhalwe eBhayibhelini ngamagama, kufaka phakathi uGabriel ingelosi enkulu uMikayeli. Kukhona ezinye izingelosi ezingenagama nazo ezivela embhalweni futhi zivame ukuchazwa njengezidalwa ezinamaphiko, kwesinye isikhathi zibukeka njengamadoda, kwezinye izikhathi zibukeka njengezilwane. Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuthi izingelosi ziyimimoya noma imiphefumulo yabathandekayo bethu asebafa.
Ngakho-ke uma samukela ukuthi ingelosi ingumoya wamaphiko, owenza umsebenzi egameni laphezulu, khona-ke singabheka emuva kwezinye izinkolo eziningi ngaphandle kobuKristu. Izingelosi zivela eQur'an futhi zisebenza ngokuqondile ngaphansi kokuqondisa kobunkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Ukukholelwa kulezi zidalwa ezingejwayelekile kungenye yezinto eziyisithupha zokholo ku-Islam.
Yize izingelosi zingashiwongo ngokuqondile ezinkolelweni zamaRoma noma amaGrikhi asendulo, uHesiod wabhala ngezidalwa zaphezulu ezazibukela ubuntu. KwezeMisebenzi nezinsuku, uthi,
"Ngemuva kokuthi umhlaba usimboze lesi sizukulwane ... babizwa ngokuthi yimimoya emsulwa ehlala emhlabeni, futhi banomusa, abanakho ukulinyazwa nabaqaphi babantu abafayo; ngoba bayazulazula yonke indawo emhlabeni, begqoke inkungu futhi bebukela izahlulelo nezenzo ezinonya, abanikeli bemicebo; futhi ngaleli lungelo lasebukhosini abalitholile ... Ngoba emhlabeni ophanayo uZeus unemimoya eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi, ababukeli babantu abafayo, futhi laba babukela izahlulelo nezenzo ezingalungile ngenkathi bezula, begqoke inkungu, emhlabeni wonke ".
Ngamanye amazwi, uHesiod uxoxa nezidalwa ezizulazulayo zisiza futhi zijezise isintu egameni likaZeus.
Ekholweni lamaHindu nenkolo yamaBuddha, kukhona izidalwa ezifana nalezi zangaphambili, ezibonakala njenge-deva noma i-dharmapala. Amanye amasiko wokulinganisa, kufaka phakathi kodwa angakhawulelwe ezindleleni zenkolo ezithile zobuqaba zanamuhla, amukela ukuba khona kwalezi zidalwa njengabaqondisi bokomoya. Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwesiqondisi esingokomoya kanye nengilosi ukuthi ingelosi iyinceku yenkulunkulukazi, ngenkathi abaqondisi abangokomoya kungenzeka bangabi njalo. Umhlahlandlela ongokomoya ungaba umgadi wamadlozi, umoya wendawo noma inkosi ekhuphukile.
Umbhali weSoul Angels uJenny Smedley unesihlalo esivakashini eDante Mag futhi uthi:
“Abahedeni babheka izingelosi njengezinto ezenziwe ngamandla, ezivumelanisa eduze nombono wendabuko. Kodwa-ke, izingelosi ezingamaqaba zingabonakala ngezindlela eziningi, njengama-gnomes, ama-fairies nama-elves. Azinakho ukwesaba okuhloniphayo kwezingelosi njengoba ezinye izazi zenkolo zanamuhla futhi zibaphatha cishe njengabangani nabazomfihlo, sengathi zilapha ukuzokhonza nokusiza umuntu kunokuba zibe yizigqila zikankulunkulu noma unkulunkulukazi oyedwa. Abanye abahedeni benze inkambiso yokubasiza ukuthi bakwazi ukuxhumana nezingelosi zabo, okubandakanya ukudala umbuthano besebenzisa izinto ezine, amanzi, umlilo, umoya nomhlaba. "
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, impela kukhona abahedeni abazokutshela ngokusobala ukuthi izingelosi ziyakhiwa kobuKristu nokuthi amaqaba akakholelwa kuzo - yilokho okwenzeka kumlobi we-blog Lyn Thurman eminyakeni embalwa edlule ngemuva kokubhala ngezingelosi futhi yajeziswa ngumfundi.
Ngoba, njengezici eziningi zezwe lemimoya, abukho ubufakazi obuphathekayo bokuthi lezi zidalwa ziyini noma zenzani, empeleni kungumbuzo ovulelwe ukuhumusha ngokususelwa ezinkolelweni zakho nakuyiphi i-gnosis yomuntu engaqinisekiswanga ongase ube nayo.
Okusemqoka? Uma umuntu ekutshele ukuthi unezingilosi eziqapha zikugade, kukuwe ukuthi uyakwemukela noma cha. Ungakhetha ukwamukela noma ubabheke ngenye into engezona izingelosi, ngokwesibonelo umhlahlandlela ongokomoya. Ekugcineni, nguwe wedwa onganquma ukuthi lezi yizidalwa ezikhona ngaphansi kohlelo lwakho lwamanje lokukholelwa.
