Kodi lingaliro la chiphunzitso cha chitetezero ndi chiyani, ndipo lingayanjanitsidwe bwanji ndi lamulo la Karma?

Ngati chitetezero chitatengedwa monga zenizeni, ndipo zomwe zikunenedwa kuti zidapangitsa kuti chitetezero chikuyenera kuganiziridwa zenizeni, palibe chifukwa chomveka chofotokozera; Palibe tanthauzo lililonse lomwe lingakhale lanzeru. Chiphunzitsochi sichabwino. Pali zinthu zochepa chabe m'mbiri zomwe sizabwino kwambiri pankhani yachiwerewere, zosasamalika pamankhwala, zomveka bwino komanso zoyenera, monga chiphunzitso chophimba machimo. Chiphunzitsochi ndi:

Mulungu m'modzi yekha, wopezeka yekha nthawi zonse, adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi zinthu zonse. Mulungu adalenga munthu wopanda cholakwa ndi umbuli, ndikumuyika m'munda wokondweretsa kuti ayesedwe; ndipo Mulungu adamuyesa; ndipo Mulungu adauza munthu kuti ngati atayesedwa, adzafa ndithu; ndipo Mulungu adampangira Adamu mkazi ndipo anadya chipatso chomwe mulungu anawaletsa kudya, chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti chinali chakudya chabwino ndipo amawapangitsa kukhala anzeru. Kenako Mulungu adatemberera nthaka, natemberera Adamu ndi Hava ndikuwatulutsa m'mundamo, natemberera ana omwe amabereka. Ndipo themberero la chisoni ndi kuvutika ndi imfa zinali pa anthu onse mtsogolo chifukwa chakudya kwa Adamu ndi Hava chipatso chomwe Mulungu adawaletsa kudya. Mulungu sakanakhoza kapena sanabwezere temberero mpaka, monga anati, “anapereka Mwana wake wobadwa yekha,” Yesu, monga nsembe yamwazi kuti athetse temberero. Mulungu adavomereza Yesu kuti atetezere cholakwa cha anthu pamlingo woti "aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike," ndikulonjeza kuti mwa chikhulupiliro chotere “adzakhala ndi moyo osatha.” Chifukwa cha temberero la Mulungu, mzimu uliwonse womwe adapanga pakuti thupi lirilonse lomwe lidabadwira m'dziko lapansi, lidzawonongedwa, ndipo mzimu uliwonse womwe apanga uwomboledwa kudziko lapansi; ndipo, pambuyo pa kufa kwa thupi mzimu umapita kugehena, kumene sungafe, koma uyenera kuvutika mpaka kalekale, pokhapokha mzimuwo usanati ukhulupirire kuti ndi wochimwa, ndikukhulupirira kuti Yesu adadza kudzapulumutsa ku machimo ake ; kuti magazi omwe Yesu akuti adakhetsa pamtanda ndi mtengo womwe Mulungu amalandila wa mwana wake yekhayo, monga chotetezera chauchimo ndi chiwombolo cha moyo, kenako mzimu udavomerezedwa pambuyo pa imfa kumwamba.

Kwa anthu omwe adaleredwa mchikhalidwe chabwino cha kutchalitchi kwawo, ndipo makamaka ngati sakudziwa malamulo achilengedwe, kudziwa kwawo izi kungasinthe chifukwa cha kusakhala kwawo komanso kuwalepheretsa kuwoneka zachilendo. Tikafufuzidwa kuti ndi chifukwa chiti, timawoneka kuti tili maliseche, ndipo si moto wonse womwe timawopa ungateteze amene akutsutsa chiphunzitsochi. Koma amene amatsutsa chiphunzitsocho sayenera kutsutsa Mulungu. Mulungu alibe udindo pa chiphunzitsochi.

Chiphunzitso chenicheni cha chitetezero sichingagwirizanenso ndi lamulo la karma, chifukwa ndiye kuti chotetezeracho chikadakhala chimodzi mwazosalakwika komanso zopanda nzeru zomwe zidalembedwapo, pomwe karma ndiye lamulo lachiwonetsero. Ngati chitetezero chinali chilungamo chaumulungu, ndiye kuti chilungamo cha Mulungu chimakhala chopanda pake komanso chosalungama kuposa zoyipa zilizonse zopanda lamulo za munthu. Kodi kuli kuti bambo yemwe angapereke mwana wake wamwamuna yekhayo kuti azunzidwe ndikupachikidwa, kuphedwa, ndi zida zambiri zopangidwa ndi iye, ndipo chifukwa chosadziwa momwe angapangire kuti achite molingana ndi kukondweretsedwa kwake, adanenapo themberero la chiwonongeko pa iwo; Kenako adalapa matemberero ake ndikuvomera kuti awakhululukire ngati angakhulupirire kuti awakhululukiradi, ndikuti kufa ndi kukhetsa magazi a mwana wake ndi pomwe adawakhululukira.

Ndikosatheka kuganiza kuti zinthu ngati izi ndi zauzimu. Palibe amene angakhulupirire kuti ndi munthu. Aliyense wokonda kusewera moyenera komanso mwachilungamo amatha kumvera chisoni amunawa, amamvera chisoni komanso kucheza ndi mwana wakeyo, ndipo amamulangira bambo ake. Wokonda chilungamo anganyoze lingaliro lakuti manikins ayenera kupempha chikhululukiro kwa wopanga. Adanenanso kuti wopanga afunefune kuti awakhululukire chifukwa chowapanga manekin, ndipo angaumirire kuti wopangayo ayimitse ndikusintha zolakwika zake zonse ndikupanga zabwino zonse zomwe adapanga; kuti ayenera kuthetsa chisoni chonse ndi mavuto omwe adadzetsa padziko lapansi ndi omwe amati anali ndi chidziwitso chisanachitike, kapena, kuti ayenera kupatsa manikins ake, osati kungoganiza zamphamvu zokwanira Funsani chilungamo cha zomwe adalamulira, koma ndi nzeru zokwanira kuti ziwathandize kuwona zina mwa zomwe adachita, kuti athe kutenga malo awo mdziko lapansi ndikupitilira mofunitsitsa ndi ntchito yomwe adapatsidwa, mmalo mokhala akapolo, Ena mwa omwe akuwoneka kuti akusangalala ndi zinthu zapamwamba komanso zosangalatsa, maudindo ndi maubwino omwe chuma ndi kuswana zimatha kupereka, pomwe zina zimayendetsedwa ndi moyo ndi njala, chisoni, kuvutika ndi matenda.

Kumbali ina, palibe kudzikuza kapena chikhalidwe ndi chovomerezeka chokwanira kuti munthu anene kuti: munthu ndi chilengedwe cha chilengedwe; chisinthiko ndi chochitapo kapena chotsatira cha mphamvu yakhungu ndi nkhani yakhungu; Imfa imathera zonse; kulibe gehena; palibe mpulumutsi; kulibe Mulungu; palibe chilungamo m'chilengedwe chonse.

Ndizomveka kunena kuti: m'chilengedwe chonse muli chilungamo; pakuti chilungamo ndiye lamulo loyenera, ndipo chilengedwe chonse chizichita mwalamulo. Ngati lamulo likufunika kuti makina azoyendetsa makina alepheretse kusuntha, malamulo sakhala ofunikiranso pakugwiritsa ntchito makina a chilengedwe chonse. Palibe bungwe lomwe lingachitike popanda chitsogozo kapena luntha lowerengeka. Payenera kukhala luntha mu chilengedwe chonse chokwanira kutsogolera ntchito zake.

Payenera kukhala chowonadi china pakukhulupirira chotetezera, chomwe chakhala ndikulandiridwa m'mitima ya anthu kwa pafupifupi zaka XNUMX, ndipo lero alipo mamiliyoni a othandizira. Chiphunzitso chophimba machimo chimakhazikika pa chimodzi mwazinthu zazikulu zazikulu za chisinthiko cha munthu. Choonadi ichi chidasokonekera ndikupotozedwa ndi malingaliro osaphunzira komanso osakhazikika, malingaliro osakhwima mokwanira kuti angachimve. Inakulira chifukwa cha kudzikonda, pansi pa zoyipa mwankhanza ndi kuphedwa, ndipo idakulira momwe idakhalira kudzera mu mibadwo yaosazindikira. Ndiposatha zaka makumi asanu kuyambira pamene anthu adayamba kukayikira chiphunzitso cha chitetezero. Chiphunzitsochi chakhala moyo ndipo chikhala ndi moyo chifukwa chakuti pali chowonadi china m'lingaliro la ubale wa munthu payekha ndi Mulungu wake, komanso chifukwa cha lingaliro la kudzipereka pothandiza ena. Anthu tsopano akuyamba kuganiza za malingaliro awiriwa. Chiyanjano cha munthu ndi Mulungu wake, ndikudzipereka m'malo mwa ena, ndiye zoonadi ziwiri izi m'chiphunzitso chophimba machimo.

Munthu ndi dzina lomwe limagwiritsidwa ntchito kunena bungwe la anthu ndi mfundo zake zosiyanasiyana komanso mawonekedwe ake. Malinga ndi lingaliro la chikhristu, munthu ndi munthu, mzimu, thupi ndi thupi.

Thupi linapangidwa kuchokera ku zinthu zapadziko lapansi, ndipo ndi zathupi. Moyo ndi mawonekedwe kapena momwe zinthu zathupi zimapangidwira, ndipo momwe muli mphamvu. Ndi zamaganizidwe. Mzimu ndi moyo wachilengedwe chonse womwe umalowamo ndikupanga moyo ndi moyo ndi thupi. Amatchedwa auzimu. Mzimu, mzimu ndi thupi zimapanga munthu wachilengedwe, munthu amene amwalira. Pakumwalira, mzimu kapena moyo wa munthu umabwerera kumoyo wachilengedwe chonse; Thupi lathupi, lomwe nthawi zonse limayenera kufa ndi kusungunuka, limabweranso kudzera mu ziwalo zomwe zidapangidwa; ndipo, mzimu, kapena mawonekedwe akuthupi, ngati mthunzi, umazirala ndi kusungunuka kwa thupi ndipo umatengedwa ndi zinthu zakuzika ndi zamatsenga komwe zidachokera.

Malinga ndi chiphunzitso chachikhristu, Mulungu ndi Utatu mu Umodzi; anthu atatu kapena zolemba chimodzi m'modzi. Mulungu Atate, Mulungu Mwana, ndi Mulungu Mzimu Woyera. Mulungu Atate ndiye mlengi; Mulungu Mwana ndiye Mpulumutsi; Mulungu Mzimu Woyera ndiye wotonthoza; atatuwa atakhala mwa Mulungu m'modzi.

Mulungu ndiwoganiza, wokha-wokha, dziko lapansi lisadayambe. Mulungu, malingaliro, amawonekera monga chilengedwe komanso monga umulungu. Malingaliro omwe amagwira ntchito kudzera mu chilengedwe amapanga thupi, mawonekedwe ndi moyo wa munthu. Uyu ndiye munthu wachibadwa woti adzafa ndipo ayenera kufa, pokhapokha ataukitsidwa pamwamba pa imfa mwa kulowa mkhalidwe wa chisavundi.

Malingaliro ("Mulungu atate," "atate kumwamba") ndiye anzeru; amene amatumiza gawo la iyemwini, ray ("Mpulumutsi," kapena, "Mulungu Mwana"), malingaliro otsika, kuti alowe ndikukhala mwa munthu wakufa kwakanthawi; Pambuyo pake, malingaliro otsika, kapena kuwala kuchokera kumtunda, amasiya munthu kuti abwerere kwa abambo ake, koma amatumiza malingaliro ena m'malo mwake ("Mzimu Woyera," kapena "Wotonthoza," kapena "Wotetezera"), wothandizira kapena mphunzitsi, kuthandiza amene adalandira kapena kulandira lingaliro lamunthu kuti akhale mpulumutsi, kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake, ntchito yomwe adayipanga. Kukhazikika kwa gawo la malingaliro aumulungu, lotchedwa moona mwana wa mulungu, kunalipo ndipo kuli kapena kungakhale wowombola wa munthu kuuchimo, ndi mpulumutsi wake kuimfa. Munthu, munthu wakuthupi, m'mene idabweramo kapena ikubwera, mulole, mwa kukhalapo kwaumulungu mkati mwake, aphunzire kusintha ndikusintha kuchoka ku chikhalidwe chake chachivundi kukhala munthu waumulungu ndi wosafa. Komabe, ngati munthu sayenera kupitiriza kusinthaku kuchokera ku chivundi kupita ku chisavundi, ayenera kukhalabe womvera malamulo aanthu ndipo ayenera kufa.

Anthu padziko lapansi sanachokere kwa munthu mmodzi komanso mayi mmodzi. Munthu aliyense m'dziko lapansi yemwe ali munthu amatchedwa milungu yambiri. Kwa munthu aliyense pali mulungu, malingaliro. Thupi lirilonse la munthu mdziko lapansi liri mdziko kwa nthawi yoyamba, koma malingaliro omwe akuchita, ndi, kapena,, anthu mdziko lapansi sakutero tsopano kwa nthawi yoyamba. Malingaliro anachitanso chimodzimodzi ndi matupi ena aumunthu m'mbuyomu. Ngati simunayendetse bwino ndikukwaniritsa chinsinsi cha kubadwa komanso kuphimba thupi pamene mukuchita ndi thupi laumunthu lomwe, thupi ndi mawonekedwe (mzimu, psyche) adzafa, ndipo malingaliro omwe adalumikizidwa nawo amayenera kubwereranso mobwerezabwereza mpaka kuwunikiridwa kokwanira kukhala nako, mpaka chitetezero kapena chimaliziro chimakwaniritsidwa.

Malingaliro omwe amakhala mu munthu aliyense ndi mwana wa Mulungu, amabwera kudzapulumutsa munthu ameneyo kuimfa, ngati munthu yemweyo angakhale ndi chikhulupiliro mu mphamvu ya Mpulumutsi wake kuti agonjetse imfa potsatira Mawu, omwe mpulumutsi, malingaliro athupi, amadziwitsa ena ; ndipo chiphunzitsocho chimafotokozedwa mokulira, molingana ndi chikhulupiriro cha mwamunayo. Ngati munthu avomera kukhala mu thupi kukhala mpulumutsi wake ndikutsatira malangizo omwe amalandila, amayeretsa thupi lake ku zodetsa, amasiya kuchita zosalakwika (kuchita zolakwa) mwa kuchita chilungamo (chilungamo) ndipo azisunga thupi lake lamoyo kufikira atawombola solo yake, psyche, mawonekedwe a thupi lake lanyama, kuchokera kuimfa, napanga ilo kukhala lisavundi. Njira iyi yochitira maphunziro a munthu ndikuisintha kukhala yosafa ndiyo kupachikidwa. Malingaliro apachikidwa pamtanda wake wa mnofu; koma mwa kupachika mtanda uyo, pofika paimfa, amalaka imfa ndipo apeza moyo wosafa. Kenako wachivundi wavala chisavundi ndikuwukitsidwa kudziko lapansi la anthu osafa. Mwana wa Mulungu, malingaliro athupi adakwaniritsa cholinga chake; agwira ntchito yomwe anayenera kuchita, kuti abwerere kwa abambo ake kumwamba, anzeru zapamwamba, amene iye akhala nawo. Ngati, komabe, munthu amene wavomereza malingaliro athupi kuti akhale mpulumutsi wake, koma yemwe chikhulupiriro chake kapena chidziwitso sichiri chokwanira mokwanira kutsatira chiphunzitso chomwe adalandira, ndiye kuti thupi lopanda matupi limapachikidwa, koma ndikupachika chifukwa cha kusakhulupirira ndi kukaikira. wa chivundi. Kupachikidwa tsiku ndi tsiku komwe malingaliro amapirira kapena pamtanda wa thupi. Kwa munthu, maphunzirowa ndi: Thupi limafa. Kukhazikika kwa lingaliro kumoto, ndikulekanitsidwa kwa malingaliro amenewo ndi zilako lako zathupi ndi zofuna zake munyengo ya kufa. Kuuka kwa akufa, ndiko kudzipatula ku zilako lako. Kukwera kumwamba komwe iye “amaweruza mwachangu ndi akufa,” kumatsatiridwa ndi kudziwa komwe kudzakhale matupi amunthu ndi psyche, yomwe idzapangidwe kuti ibadwire padziko lapansi, ndi cholinga chothandizira kuwunikiridwa ndi chitetezero.

Kwa munthu amene wapulumutsidwa, yemwe malingaliro ake osandulika thupi amapanga moyo wosafa, moyo wonse wa Yesu uyenera kudutsidwa akadalipobe mthupi lanyama mdziko lanyama. Imfa iyenera kugonjetsedwa thupi lisanafe; kochokera ku gehena kuyenera kukhalapo, kusanachitike, kufa kwa thupi; kukwera kumwamba kuyenera kukwaniritsidwa pomwe thupi lanyama lili ndi moyo. Zonsezi ziyenera kuchitika modzipereka, mwakufuna kwathu, komanso ndi chidziwitso. Ngati sichoncho, ndipo munthu amangokhulupirira m'malingaliro ake achibadwidwe ngati mpulumutsi, ndipo ngati, ngakhale akumvetsa momwe koma osapeza moyo wosafa asanamwalire, amwalira, ndiye nthawi yotsatira kuti adzabadwire mumlengalenga padziko lapansi ndipo mwa munthu wakufa, lingaliro silidzalowa mwa munthu yemwe adamuyitanitsa, koma malingaliro amakhala ngati wotonthoza (Mzimu Woyera), amene amatumikira mzimu wa munthu ndipo amalowa m'malo mwa mwana wa mulungu , kapena malingaliro, omwe anali athupi m'moyo wam'mbuyomo kapena moyo. Zimachitika chifukwa chovomereza kwam'mbuyo kwa munthu ngati mwana wa Mulungu. Ndiye mtonthozi wozungulira iye yemwe amalimbikitsa, kulangiza, kupereka malangizo, kuti, ngati munthu afuna, apitirize ntchito yake yosafa yomwe idasiyidwa m'moyo wakale, adafupikitsidwa ndi imfa.

Anthu amene sadzatembenukira ku kuwala, ayenera kukhala mumdima ndikusunga malamulo aumunthu. Amavutika ndi imfa, ndipo malingaliro omwe amakhala nawo amayenera kudutsa mu gehena nthawi ya moyo, komanso panthawi yolekanitsidwa ndi kulumikizidwa kwake padziko lapansi pambuyo pa imfa, ndipo izi ziyenera kupitilizabe kudutsa mibadwo, kufikira atalolera ndikutha kuwona kuwala, kuwukitsa wachivundi mpaka chisavundi ndikuti agwirizane ndi gwero la kholo, abambo ake akumwamba, omwe sangakhutitsidwe mpaka umbuli utapereka chidziwitso, ndipo mdima umasandulika kukhala kuwunika. Njirayi yalongosoledwa mu a editorials Kukhala Ndi Moyo Kosatha, Vol. 16, Naos. 1-2, ndi Nthawi ndi Anzanu mu Mawu, Vol. 4, tsamba 189, ndi Vol. 8, tsamba 190.

Ndikumvetsetsa kumeneku chiphunzitso cha chotetezera munthu akhoza kuwona tanthauzo la "ndipo mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti anapatsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wamuyaya." Ndi kumvetsetsa kumeneku, chiphunzitso chophimba machimo chikuyanjanitsidwa ndi lamulo la chilungamo chosasinthika chosatha komanso chosatha, lamulo la karma. Izi zikufotokozera ubale wamunthu ndi mulungu wake.

Choonadi china, lingaliro lodzipereka pothandiza ena, limatanthawuza kuti munthu akapeza ndikutsatira malingaliro ake, kuunika kwake, mpulumutsi wake, ndipo wagonjetsa imfa ndikupeza moyo wosafa ndikuzidziwa kuti ndi wopanda wakufa, adzafuna osavomera chisangalalo chakumwamba chomwe adachipezera, yekha, koma, m'malo mokhutitsidwa ndi chigonjetso chake chaimfa, ndikusangalala ndi zipatso zantchito yake, akuganiza zopereka ntchito zake kwa anthu kuti athetse mavuto awo, ndikuwathandiza kufikira kuti apeze umulungu mkati, ndikukwaniritsa apotheosis yomwe wafika. Ili ndiye nsembe ya munthu payekha payekha, ku malingaliro amunthu kwa Maganizo a konsekonse. Ndi mulungu payekha yemwe amakhala wolumikizana ndi Mulungu wachilengedwe chonse. Amawona ndikumva ndikuzidziwa yekha m'moyo wamunthu aliyense, ndi mzimu uliwonse kukhala mwa iye. Ndi mfundo ya I-am-You and You-u-I. Munthawi imeneyi mumazindikira kholo la Mulungu, ubale wa munthu, chinsinsi cha umunthu, umodzi ndi umodzi wa zinthu zonse, ndi chidzalo cha Iye.
