Mwa kuphunzira Clock of God mu Orion tinafika pa kumvetsetsa mmene Mulungu anatsogolela ndi kutetezera mpingo Wake zaka 166 zapitazo za ulendo wake wopita kumwamba, koma tinaphunziranso za ziyeso zazikulu zimene unayenera kudutsamo ndi mmene ziyesozo zinawonongetsera kuipiraipira kwa chombo cha tchalitchicho. Miyala ikuluikulu inayima motsutsana ndi ngalawayo: Nkhondo Yoyamba Yapadziko Lonse mu 1914 imene inagaŵa tchalitchi m’zigawo ziŵiri, ndiyeno ulamuliro wa Nazi umene kwa zaka khumi kuyambira 1936 unayambitsa kusefa mowonjezereka mkati mwa tchalitchi. Zonsezi zikutiwonetsa ife lero kuti mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist ukhoza kuima ndi olamulira a dziko mu nthawi yamavuto. Mulungu anaika chizindikiro m’chaka cha 1986 m’mbiri ya mpingo wake, koma ambiri sanathe kuchizindikira nthaŵi yomweyo chifukwa ziphunzitso zambiri zabodza zinali zitaloŵa kale m’tchalitchimo moti mamembala onse sakanatha kuweruza momveka bwino. Tchalitchi cha Seventh-day Adventist chinafika pomwe chinafikira ngakhale apapa ndi mphatso ndipo pamapeto pake chinayamba kuchita nawo poyera ndikuchita nawo zochitika zapadziko lonse lapansi. Ndani amene akanalingalira kuti “tchalitchi chokha cha Chiprotestanti” chikagwada pansi pamodzi ndi papa kupempherera mtendere wa dziko lonse, umene malinga ndi Baibulo sudzakhalako, ndipo ngakhale nkhani yeniyeniyo ya mtendere woteroyo imalengeza chiwonongeko cha anthu?
Pakuti pamene iwo adzati, Mtendere ndi chitetezo; pamenepo chiwonongeko chobukapo chidzafika pa iwo, monga zowawa za mkazi wapakati; ndipo sadzapulumuka. (1 Atesalonika 5:3)
Chifukwa chake, tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti zikanatheka bwanji izi? Panali kugawanika kwa tchalitchi mu 1914 chifukwa cha nkhani yakuti ngati Mkristu angaloŵe nawo m’nkhondo kapena ayi, ndi mmene Sabata lingaphwanyidwe panthaŵi yoteroyo, ndipo panali ngakhale kusakhulupirika kochitidwa kwa abale ndi ena mwa atsogoleri a tchalitchi ku Germany m’zaka za ulamuliro wa chipani cha Nazi—zoipa zonsezi sizinali zokwanira kunena kuti tchalitchicho chinafika pa siteji ya “chikhulupiriro” cha Yesu. izo. Iri mu uthenga wopita ku mpingo wachinayi, Tiyatira, womwe ukugwirizana ndi chiyambi cha chisindikizo chachinai cha 1986 ndipo umawerengedwa motere:
Koma ndiri nazo zinthu pang'ono zotsutsana ndi iwe, chifukwa ukulola mkazi uja Yezebeli [mpingo wa Roma], amene amadzitcha yekha mneneri wamkazi [Vatican], kuphunzitsa ndi kusocheretsa akapolo anga chitani chiwerewere, ndi kudya zoperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano. Ndipo ndidamupatsa mpata [kuguba koyamba sikisi kozungulira Yeriko, mwawona Mbiri ikubwereza] kulapa dama lake; ndipo sanalapa. Taonani, Ine ndidzamponya iye pakama, ndi iwo akuchita chigololo naye m’chisautso chachikulu [nthawi yamavuto], pokhapokha atalapa zochita zawo. Ndipo ndidzapha ana ake ndi imfa [Zithunzi 7]; ndipo Mipingo yonse idzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Iye amene asanthula impso ndi mitima: ndipo ndidzapatsa yense wa inu monga mwa ntchito zake.

Sabata silinaperekedwe kotheratu ndi mpingo ngakhale kuti atsogoleri a mayiko 18 a ku Ulaya anaphwanya malamulo pa zisindikizo za 1914 ndi 1936. Atsogoleri a mipingo ya Germany ndi Austrian adapepesa ngakhale mu May 2005 chifukwa cha tchalitchicho chinathandizira ulamuliro wa chipani cha Nazi m'zaka za nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse komanso kuti udachita nawo chizunzo cha Ayuda chifukwa cha khalidwe lawo losasamala.AdventistReview.org Archives 2005):
Atsogoleri a Tchalitchi Amati “Pepani”
Mipingo ya ku Germany ndi ku Austria ikupepesa chifukwa cha kuphedwa kwa NaziYOLEMBEDWA NDI MARK A. KELLNER, wotsogolera wothandiza pa nkhani ndi chidziwitso cha General Conference Communication Department
Pokumbukira chaka chazaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi cha kutha kwa Nkhondo Yadziko II, atsogoleri a tchalitchi cha Seventh-day Adventist ku Germany ndi Austria atulutsa chilengezo chakuti iwo “akudandaula kwambiri” kukhala ndi phande kapena kuchirikiza ntchito za Nazi mkati mwa nkhondoyo. Mabungwe a matchalitchi “amavomereza moona mtima” kulephera “kutsata Ambuye wathu” mwa kusateteza Ayuda, ndi anthu ena, ku chiwonongeko chapanthaŵiyo, chodziŵika mofala kuti Chipululutso. Anthu mamiliyoni ambiri anaphedwa ndi nkhanza za nkhondo, kuphatikizapo Ayuda oposa 6 miliyoni amene anaphedwa m’zizunzo za Nazi mkati mwa zaka 12 za 1933 mpaka 1945.
Chilengezochi chinasindikizidwa koyamba mu Meyi 2005 ya Advent-Echo, magazini ya mwezi uliwonse ya tchalitchi cha chinenero cha Chijeremani, ndipo idzawonekeranso m'mabuku ena achijeremani, adatero Günther Machel, pulezidenti wa South German Union Conference ndi mmodzi mwa atatu omwe adasaina mawuwo.
Mawuwa aperekedwa kwa a Yad Vashem, a Holocaust Martyrs 'ndi Heroes' Remembrance Authority ku Israel, anawonjezera Rolf Pöhler, pulezidenti wakale wa tchalitchi cha North Germany yemwe tsopano ndi mlangizi wa zaumulungu m'derali ndipo adagwira nawo ntchito yolemba chilengezocho.
“Tili ndi chisoni chachikulu kuti mkhalidwe wa ulamuliro wankhanza wa National Socialist sunazindikiridwe m’nthaŵi yake ndi mowonekera bwino lomwe, ndipo mkhalidwe wopanda umulungu wa malingaliro [a Nazi] unali usanadziŵike bwino lomwe,” mawuwo, monga momwe anatembenuzidwa kuchokera ku Chijeremani, amaŵerenga. Tchalitchichi chimatinso chikudandaula “kuti m’mabuku athu ena . . . panapezedwa nkhani zolemekeza Adolf Hitler ndi kugwirizana ndi malingaliro odana ndi Ayuda m’njira yosachirikizidwa ndi [kawonedwe] kamakono.”
Atsogoleri a Tchalitchi anasonyezanso chisoni kuti “anthu athu anagwirizana ndi kutengeka maganizo kwa mafuko komwe kumawononga miyoyo ndi ufulu wa Ayuda 6 miliyoni ndi oimira magulu ang’onoang’ono mu Ulaya yense” ndi “kuti a Seventh-day Adventist ambiri sanagaŵane chosoŵa ndi kuzunzika kwa Ayuda anzawo.”
Chisoni chachikulu, mawuwo anasonyeza, chinali chakuti mipingo ya Adventist ya ku Germany ndi Austrian “inawapatula, kuwalekanitsa ndi kuwasiya [matchalitchi amene] . . . Ayuda kwa iwo okha kotero kuti anawapereka kundende, ku ukapolo kapena kuphedwa.”
Pansi pa malamulo a mafuko osiyanasiyana, mipingo ina ya Adventist inathamangitsa mamembala a cholowa chachiyuda. Mmodzi, Max-Israel Munk, anaikidwa m’misasa yachibalo iwiri ndi chipani cha Nazi ndipo anapulumuka nabwerera ku tchalitchi chake nkhondo itatha. Ananenanso kuti sakufuna kuchitapo kanthu ndi mpingo wake monga momwe adachitidwira, malinga ndi a Daniel Heinz, wolemba mabuku a tchalitchi ku Friedensau Adventist University yemwe adaphunzira zochitika za Adventist panthawi ya National Socialist.
Pamodzi ndi Machel, atsogoleri ena amene anasaina chikalatacho anali Klaus-Juergen van Treeck, pulezidenti wa Msonkhano wa North Germany Union Conference, ndi Herbert Brugger, pulezidenti wa Adventist Church ku Austria. Pöhler ndi Johannes Hartlapp, wolemba mbiri ya tchalitchi cha Friedensau, analemba mawu amene chilengezocho chinachokera. Madera onse atatu a mipingo adavota kuti avomereze lembalo, adatero Pöhler.
M’mawuwo, atatuwo amanena kuti “kumvera maulamuliro a boma sikuchititsa kuti tisiye zikhulupiriro ndi mfundo za m’Baibulo.” Iwo ananena kuti ngakhale kuti Mulungu yekha ndi amene angaweruze zochita za mibadwo yakale, “komabe m’masiku athu ano, tikufuna kusonyeza kuti tili ndi ufulu wochita zinthu mwachilungamo komanso mwachilungamo kwa anthu onse.”
Brugger, pofunsidwa patelefoni, anati: “Anthu a tchalitchi chathu anayamikira kwambiri kufalitsidwa kwa chikalatachi.” Palibe chosonyeza kuti Ayuda aku Austria achitapo kanthu, koma Brugger adati mpingo wa Adventist sudziwika bwino ku Austria monga momwe magulu ena amachitira.
Atafunsidwa momwe mpingo umene umaona kusunga Sabata monga chimodzi mwa zikhulupiriro zake zazikulu ungasiyire osunga Sabata Achiyuda panthawi ya chizunzo, Brugger ananena kuti zinali zandale, osati zaumulungu, zomwe mwina zidatsogolera ku njirayo.
Mkati mwa Nkhondo Yadziko I mbali ina ya tchalitchi cha German Adventist chinagawanika, kutsutsa utumiki uliwonse wa usilikali. Izi zidapangitsa a National Socialists ku 1936 kuletsa zomwe zimatchedwa "Reform Movement" panthawi yomwe anali kulamulira. Brugger adati nkhawa yakutsekedwa kwa Nazi kwa mipingo yayikulu ya Adventist mwina idalemetsa atsogoleri panthawiyo.
“Ndikuganiza kuti m’nthaŵi zimenezi atsogoleri ovomerezeka a tchalitchi chathu anali ndi mantha kuti tchalitchicho sichingawalamulire ndi kutaya tchalitchi chifukwa chakuti akuluakulu andale anali atayamba kale . . . [anasokoneza] tchalitchi chathu ndi gulu la Reform,” iye anafotokoza motero. "Ndikuganiza kuti atsogoleri athu anali ndi mantha kuti tchalitchi chathu sichidziwika, choncho mwina sanali [okhulupilika] ku zikhulupiriro zathu momwe zikanafunikira."
Tchalitchi chachikulu cha Seventh-day Adventist ku Germany chinaletsedwanso mwachidule pansi pa chipani cha Nazi, akutero Pöhler. Kusintha kofulumira kwa ulamuliro kunabweretsa mpumulo pakati pa Adventist komanso pamlingo wa mgwirizano ndi boma lomwe linali lopanda thanzi.
“Sitinangokhala chete, komanso tidasindikizanso zinthu zomwe sitinayenera kufalitsa. Tidasindikiza malingaliro odana ndi Ayuda omwe, malinga ndi momwe timawonera, sanali ofunikira kwenikweni, "adatero Pöhler poyankhulana patelefoni.
“Tinayenera kuzindikira kuti mawu amodzi olakwa, kulakwa kumodzi kwa munthu kunatanthauza kuti akhoza kukakhala kundende yozunzirako anthu,” anatero Pöhler ponena za nthaŵi imeneyo. “[Icho chinali chifukwa] chimene tinawachotsera ndi kuwachotsa pakati pathu a Adventist obadwira m’Chiyuda: Ngati tchalitchi cha kumaloko sichinachite zimenezi, [a Nazi] akanatseka tchalitchicho, kutengera mkuluyo kundende, ndipo zikanatanthauza kuti tchalitchi chonse chikanaletsedwa.”
Pamene kuli kwakuti a Adventist ena a ku Ulaya anaima molimba mtima kuti ateteze Ayuda, ena anatsatira mbali ina chifukwa chodera nkhaŵa mabanja awo ndi matchalitchi. Pöhler anafotokoza kuti kukakhala kovuta kuti munthu afikire munthu wachiyuda, koma kuika miyoyo ya awo mu mpingo pachiswe unali mtolo wowonjezereka. Chenjezo loterolo lidawonekeranso m'matchulidwe ogwiritsidwa ntchito ndi a Adventist aku Germany, adatero.
Daniel Heinz, mkulu wa zosungira zakale za tchalitchi payunivesite ya Adventist ku Friedensau, Germany, ananena kuti kufufuza kwake m’nkhani za Adventist amene anathandiza Ayuda m’nkhondoyo kunachititsa kuti apeze awo amene anachita zinthu zosayenera.
Kukaniza malamulo a chipani cha Nazi, komanso kuyankha mwachifundo koma molimba mtima kwa akhristu ambiri, pakati pawo a Seventh-day Adventist, kuteteza miyoyo ya omwe anali pansi pa chizunzo cha Nazi, zalembedwa ku Ulaya konse, kuphatikizapo Poland, Hungary, Holland, ndi Denmark.
“Ndinapeza nkhani zochititsa chidwi kwambiri za Adventist amene anathandiza Ayuda mu Third Reich, kuika miyoyo yawo pachiswe, ndipo ndinapeza zosiyana,” anatero Heinz. Pakati pa mamembala ena a tchalitchi, banja lina lachi Latvian Adventist linagwira mwamuna wachiyuda, n’kumubisa panthaŵi ya nkhondo, ndipo anapulumuka. Wothawayo anakhala wokhulupirira wa Adventist ndi m'busa wa tchalitchi nkhondo itatha.
Malinga ndi Machel, "Zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi pambuyo pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse idachedwa - koma tidawona ngati mwayi womaliza wa chilengezo."
Achinyamata a m’tchalitchichi anasangalala ndi mawu osonyeza kuti anali ndi nkhawa komanso akumva chisoni.
“Kuvumbula modzichepetsa machimo athu ndi zolephera zathu ndicho chinthu chofunika koposa chimene Mulungu amafuna kuti tichite,” anatero Sara Gehler, wazaka 25. “Ndipo ngakhale kuti zaka 60 zapita kale, ndikuganiza kuti kunali kofunika kwa ife monga Tchalitchi [cha Seventh-day Adventist] kutenga kaimidwe pa Nkhondo Yadziko Yachiŵiri.” Ananenanso kuti: “Ndi udindo wathu monga Akhristu kuteteza ndi kuthandiza anthu ofooka, osowa thandizo komanso osowa thandizo.”
John Graz, mkulu wa Public Affairs and Religious Liberty wa likulu la dziko lonse la Adventist anati: “Kwa amene amakhulupirira chikondi cha Mulungu kwa munthu aliyense wa m’banja la munthu, motsutsana ndi tsankho lamtundu uliwonse chifukwa cha fuko, chipembedzo, kapena kuti mwamuna kapena mkazi, chilengezo chimenechi cholembedwa ndi mbadwo umene unalibe thayo m’Chipululutso cha Nazi ndi nkhondo, koma kulimbikitsa thayo la makolo awo chodziŵika bwino.”
Ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti kalata yoyamba yopepesa ilibe chivomerezo chirichonse chakuti Mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist m’zaka zimenezo za Nkhondo Yadziko I ndi Yachiŵiri inachitira abale ndi alongo awo ndendende monga momwe anachitira ndi abale Achiyuda, pamene iwo anafuna kusunga Sabata mumkhalidwe uliwonse ndi kupeŵa kuswa lamulo “Usaphe”. Mawu oyambirira a kupepesa akuti:
...Mzika zinzake zachiyuda zija adasalidwa ndi kuchotsedwa ndi ife, kusiyidwa kwa iwo okha, ndipo chifukwa chake aperekedwa kundende, ku ukapolo kapena imfa.
Zimakhala zowawa kuwerenga kupepesa kochokera pansi pamtima kotero pamene kumbali ina timawerenga nkhani za Adventist okhulupirika omwe adafera chikhulupiriro chawo. monga posachedwapa tidzayenera kuchita pamene yesero lomaliza la lamulo la Lamlungu litifikira. Pamene kuli kwakuti Tchalitchi cha Seventh-day Adventist chinadziwononga ndi ulamuliro wa Nazi mu 1936, tchalitchi cha Reformation chinaletsedwa, ndipo mamembala ake anayenera kunyamula mtanda wawo. Zitsanzo ziŵiri zikhoza kuimira mazana a Adventists okhulupirika a Reformation Movement, amene anafera m’ndende ndi m’misasa yachibalo ya Anazi popanda kutchulidwa nkomwe ndi “abale awo aakulu”.

Iye ankafuna kuonetsetsa kuti ophedwawa asaiwale, ndipo ankafuna kusonyeza mmene amakondera anthu amene amakhala ndi moyo ndi kufa chifukwa cha Iye ndi cholinga Chake. Ayi, wokondedwa Anton Brugger ndi wokondedwa Gustav Psyrembel, simunakhale pachabe, ndipo simunafe pachabe! Ambuye wathu anakuikirani chipilala chapadera kaamba ka inu ndi anzanu ovutika: nyenyezi ziŵiri za m’mapewa za Orion zapatulidwira kwa inu—kwa onse amene anafa m’Nkhondo zonse ziŵiri za Dziko kaamba ka chikhulupiriro chawo ndi kukhulupirika kwawo ku malamulo a Mulungu monga aja amene anapereka miyoyo yawo m’zizunzo zam’mbuyo za kuzungulira koyamba kwa zisindikizo zisanu ndi chimodzi zoyambirira. Umboni wanu sudzatayika; aliyense amene wawerenga nkhaniyi lero ndipo wamvetsa uthenga wa Orion adzakhala wokondwa kukumana nanunso kumwamba ndi Yesu akadzadutsa m'mayesero awo omwe akubwera. Ndikufuna kulimbikitsa aliyense kuti awerenge mutu womwe uli ndi maumboni awa m'buku lomwe latchulidwa pamwambapa. Iwo akhoza dawunilodi PANO.
Kodi sikukakhala koyenera kufunafuna chiyanjanitso pakati pa mipingo itatu ya Adventist chifukwa cha mboni za Yesu zimenezi, popeza kuti Mulungu mwiniyo akusonyeza ndi khamu lonse la nyenyezi kuti Iye sanaiwale machimo a anthu ake? (Mipingo itatu yosiyana ya Adventist ndiyo: Seventh-day Adventist Church, Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, ndi International Missionary Society.) Pamene tikuyang’ana pankhope za abale odzichepetsa ndi okhululukira ameneŵa amene sanakwiyire konse anzawo amene anawapereka, ndipo mofanana ndi Akristu owona ngakhale anapempha Yesu kuti awakhululukire—kodi tingakayikirebe kuti chikhumbo cha tchalitchi chimabwerera limodzi ku chikhulupiriro cha Mulungu?
Ngati matchalitchi a Reformation ali oloŵa nyumba a ngwazi zachikhulupiriro amene anavomereza uphungu wa Yesu wa kukhululukira nthaŵi zonse ngati tikufuna kukhululukidwa, ndiye kuti amaloledwa kusunga chakukhosi—ndi kudana ndi—abale awo a Tchalitchi chachikulu cha Seventh-day Adventist? Popeza iwo sachedwa kulakwa ndi kuchimwa mofanana ndi anthu ena onse, kodi iwo amaloledwa kudziona kukhala apamwamba ndi kuweruza mamembala a mpingo waukulu monga otayika? Ndinayenera kuona zimenezi kuchokera kwa abusa ndi atsogoleri a Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement ku South America. Ayi, umenewo sunali mzimu wa otsatira okhulupirika a Kristu ameneŵa, ndipo sunali mzimu wa awo amene adzadindidwa chidindo. Ndiwocheperaponso mzimu wa awo amene posachedwapa adzakhala m’gulu la 144,000. Kumbukirani kuti ndikulankhula za atsogoleri ena a Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement omwe ndimawadziwa ndekha; palinso Akhristu ambiri odabwitsa pakati pawo amene sakonda mzimu womwewo.
Yesu ananena momveka bwino kuti anthu okhawo amene amafuna mtendere ndi mgwirizano mumpingo ndi amene adzapulumuke. Posachedwapa, mtsogoleri wamkulu wa tchalitchi cha Seventh-day Adventist ku Germany ananditcha poyera “wodzilekanitsa kwambiri.” Matchalitchi a Reform anandipatsanso dzina laulemu lakuti “wampatuko wamkulu.” Chondidetsa nkhawa changa ndikukwaniritsa ntchito yomwe Mulungu wandipatsa komanso kupereka chidziwitso chomwe adandipatsa kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera ku mipingo yake. Zomwe ndikunena ndikuti ndazindikira Orion ndipo ndikunena mobwerezabwereza kuti sindikunena kuti kumasulira kwanga ndikolondola 100%. Maphunzirowa amaperekedwa kuti alimbikitse kudziwerengera. Intaneti ili ndi malo omwe amafotokoza zomwe zinachitika m'zaka za Orion za 1844, 1846, 1914, 1936 ndi 1986. Ndikunenanso kuti: yesani chirichonse ndikusunga chomwe chiri chabwino!
Zimene atsogoleriwo anachita n’zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri! Mpingo umodzi wadongosolo umalimbana ndi mzake mwaudani kwambiri! Orion imasonyeza machimo a nyumba ya Yakobo, anthu ake, koma imasonyezanso kuti Mulungu sanawasiye. Kodi tingayembekezere bwanji kuti mgwirizanowu udzachitikanso ngati palibe amene angafune kusuntha pang'ono pamalo awo okhazikika? Aliyense amakamba za kusefa! Inde, zinayamba kalekale monga Ellen G. White ananenera. Kusefa kunali kutayamba kale m’tsiku lake, koma kusefa sikunali kokha kugawanika kwa mipingo iŵiriyo mu 1914 ndi kugawanikanso kwa tchalitchi cha Reform mu 1951. Inde, zochitika zimenezo zikuzindikiridwa ndi Mulungu mu Orion monga zochitika zoipa, koma si zochitikazo zomwe zimachititsa kusefako. Ndi ziphunzitso zomwe zili kumbuyo kwa masiku ndi zochitikazo. Kusefaku kunayamba kupyolera mu ziphunzitso zabodza ndipo kudzafika pachimake pa kugwedezeka komaliza kumene kudzadza kupyolera mu malamulo a Lamlungu. Posachedwapa, anthu ochokera m'mabungwe onse a Adventist-komanso omwe si a Adventist-adzasonkhana kudzera mu uthenga wa Orion. Pamene amvetsetsa uthenga wa Mulungu, adzalandira mzimu woyela ndi kupanga a 144,000. Adzamvetsetsa zimene ziphunzitso zonyengazo ziri zimene zinayambitsa kusefako ndipo adzakonza malingaliro awo, ngati kuli kofunikira, mogwirizana ndi ziphunzitso zosonyezedwa ndi Orion. Nkhani iyi ndi yotsatira ikunena za “mizera yachifumu” ya Orion, imene imasonyeza zopinga zogaŵanitsa zimene zilipo pakati pa matchalitchi ndi mphukira zambiri. Nkhanizo zidzasonyeza chimene chili chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi chiphunzitso chowona, chimene tiyenera kuchivomereza pakali pano mu ulemerero wake wonse. Mulungu sasiya kalikonse mumdima, ndipo aliyense amene aŵerenga nkhani zotsala za “Mizere ya Mpando Wachifumu” adzaŵalanso ngati kuunika mumdima.
Ndinayenera kuseka pamene posachedwapa ndinaphunzira maphunziro a Sukulu ya Sabata kuchokera ku Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement kwa gawo lachiwiri ndi lachitatu la 2010. Zinali zoonekeratu kuti iwo anasankha dala mitu yomwe ikugwirizana ndi uthenga wa Orion ndikuyesera kulimbitsa mamembala awo mwa kusindikizanso ndi kubwereza kuwala kodziwika kale pa nkhaniyi. Iwo anachita zimenezo kuti awafooketse iwo kuti asakhulupirire vumbulutso lina lililonse la Mulungu lochokera ku Orion. Ndimakonda Sukulu ya Sabata iyi kotala chifukwa idakhazikika pa zolemba za Ellen G. White. M’menemo mulibe chosafunika; ili ndi mafunso ndi mawu a Ellen G. White akupereka mayankho. Ndemanga za zamulungu, monga mu maphunziro a Sukulu ya Sabata ya mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist palibe mokondwera. M'magawo awiri awa ndidapeza zinthu zambiri zomwe zimakwanira bwino m'nkhani zanga. Inatsimikizira uthenga wa Orion m’njira yapadera ngakhale kuti abalewo anali ndi cholinga choutsutsa. Sindinapeze mzere umodzi wa masukulu awiri a Sabata kapena mawu amodzi a Ellen G. White omwe amatsutsana ndi uthenga wa Orion. Uthenga wa Orion umagwirizana kwambiri ndi ziphunzitso zonse zoyambirira za Adventist ndi kugwirizana kotheratu ndi ziphunzitso zonse za Baibulo ndi Mzimu wa Ulosi.
Orion imasonyeza zolakwa zimene mpingo—indedi mipingo yonse ya Mulungu yolinganizidwa ya Seventh-day Adventist (kuphatikizapo mphukira)—yakhala ikuchita kuyambira 1844. Ngati mipingo yonse ingafike pa kuzindikira ndi kulapa machimo awo kupyolera mu Orion, ndiye kuti mpingo woyeretsedwa wa Mulungu ukatuluka popanda kufunikira kwa maziko atsopano. Uthenga wa Orion si uthenga woitanira anthu kunja kapena uthenga wopatukana ndi mipingo ya Seventh-day Adventist. Ndi uthenga wa umodzi wa chikhulupiriro chifukwa Yesu amatiphunzitsa mmene maganizo ogawanitsa amaonekera m’kuunika kwa chifuniro Chake ndi chimene chili chiphunzitso chonyenga kapena chowona m’maso mwake. Tidzawona kuti Mulungu amalankhula za ziphunzitso zonse zogawanitsa mu Orion. Zidzakhala zodabwitsa kwa atsogoleri ambiri kudziwa kuti amayamikira malingaliro olakwika, ndipo ayenera kusintha ngati sakufuna kulandira miliri. Kodi adzakhala odzichepetsa kuti avomereze kudzudzulidwa ndi Yesu?
Mipingo yonse ya Reform imakhulupirira mosasunthika kuti ndiyo mpingo woona wokha, ndi kuti mipingo yokulirapo yakula kufika ku Babulo ndi kuti sikulandiranso madalitso a Mulungu kapena chivomerezo chake. Ngati zinali choncho, ndiye n’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu akuyesetsa kupitiriza ndi mbiri ya mpingo waukulu wa Seventh-day Adventist ku Orion? Chaka cha 1986, mpingo wachinayi ndi chisindikizo chachinai, makamaka ndi mbiri ya mpingo waukulu wa Seventh-day Adventist. Orion imasonyeza kuti mipingo ilipo mofanana. Werenganinso makalata opita ku mipingo; magulu awiri nthawi zonse amasonyezedwa. Zimenezi zinazindikirika mwamsanga ndi matchalitchi a Reform pamene ndinawatumizira phunziro loyamba la wotchi ya Orion mu January. Iwo anazindikira kuti wotchiyo imasonyeza bwino lomwe kuti tchalitchi chachikulu cha Seventh-day Adventist sichinapatulidwe kotheratu m’chisomo cha Mulungu, ndipo chimaika chikayikiro chawo chodzilamulira okha pa malo a mpingo woona wokha wa Mulungu chiyambire 1914 kapena 1951. Pachifukwa chimenecho, uthenga wa Orion unakanidwa mwamsanga ndi General Conferences of the Reform churches, ndipo iwo anatumiza uthenga kwa abusa awo olembetsera. Ndikudziwa izi kuchokera muzochitika zanga ndi Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, koma kutengera maimelo angapo omwe ndidalandira, ndikuganiza kuti zomwezi zidachitikanso ku International Missionary Society.
Kumbali ina, mpingo waukulu wa Seventh-day Adventist umachita manyazi ndi zolakwa zake, ndithudi, ndipo sakufuna kuti ziwonekere. Chotero, Msonkhano Waukulu unayeneranso kuweruza uthenga wa Orion kukhala wopangidwa kotheratu ndi chiphunzitso chonyenga ndi mpatuko. Amazindikiranso kuti pali zambiri ku Orion kuposa zomwe ndidasindikiza mpaka pano (mu mtundu woyamba wa maphunziro a Orion). Atsogoleri amenewo, omwe ali a msasa wa adaniwo, amadziŵa bwino lomwe kuti uthenga wa Orion umabweretsa mbiri kuchokera kumpoto (mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu) ndi kuchokera kum’maŵa (kumene Orion mwiniwake ali) malinga ndi Danieli 11:44 . Zimawavutitsa iwo ndi mutu wawo, papa, woimira Satana padziko lapansi, monga momwe vesili limanenera:
koma Uthenga wochokera kum’mawa ndi kumpoto adzambvuta; cifukwa cace adzaturuka ndi ukali waukulu kuononga, ndi kuononga konse ambiri. ((Danieli 11:44)
Ife tonse tikudziwa kuti “uthenga” umenewu, kapena kuti mauthenga, ochokera kum’maŵa ndi kumpoto adzatsogolera ku mfuu waukulu umene ukufotokozedwanso m’ndime iyi. Mzimu Woyera adzatitsogolera mu choonadi chonse. Sipadzakhalanso mtsutso wa nkhani zachipembedzo, palibe kukambitsirana ponena za ziphunzitso zina zokangana zimene zakhalapo kwa zaka zambiri, chifukwa chakuti Mulungu Mwiniwake amatisonyeza choonadi chonse mu Orion. Mpingo ukangolumikizana pansi pa chowonadi chonse, kuyiwala malire onse pakati pa mipingo ingapo ya bungwe ndi magulu a mphukira, nthawi idzafika yoti Satana anjenjemere. Izi zimamuchititsa mantha kwambiri chifukwa amadziwa bwino zomwe zinalembedwa mu Orion: Mayankho a mikangano yonse ya mipingo ... choonadi chonse. Iye akudziwa kuti padzakhala 144,000 amene adzagwirizana mu mpingo wa Filadelfeya. Umodzi weniweni wa chikhulupiriro umene Yesu anaupempherera mu Yohane 17 udzalamulira mmenemo. Nkhani zotsatirazi zidzachititsa mantha Satana chifukwa amazindikira kuti mzimu wa Mulungu wayamba kugwira ntchito mwa ena. Kwa zaka zikwi zambiri Satana wakhala akudziŵa kuti zimenezi zidzachitika m’kupita kwa nthaŵi! Iye analamula kuti amange mapiramidi a ku Giza m’njira yeniyeni ya nyenyezi za malamba za Orion. Iye anawapatulira ku kulambira dzuŵa chifukwa anadziŵa kuti kachisi weniweni wa Mulungu, kapena chizindikiro chake, gulu la nyenyezi lenileni ndi loona la Orion m’mwamba, lidzapereka uthenga wapadera tsiku lina. Anadziŵa kuti likazindikiritsa anthu a Mulungu pa chiweruzo chofufuza ndi kuwasonyeza chowonadi ponena za nkhani zokangana zimene sizinamveke bwino m’Baibulo kufikira pano ndi zimene zinayambitsa magawano okhalitsa pakati pa anthu a Advent. Satana analamula mapiramidi mwanjira imeneyo kuti apangitse pafupifupi aliyense kuganiza kuti uthenga wa Orion ndi wabodza komanso chiphunzitso chonyenga.
Satana anachenjeza atumiki ake, amene anali ataloŵa kale m’matchalitchi onse ndi magulu a mphukira kuti: “Chenjerani ndi uthenga wa Orion. Musalole mamembala kuphunzira izi! Choncho, munthu amamva “atsogoleri” paliponse akunena zinthu monga “Musataye nthawi yanu kusokoneza zinthu zachabechabe za Orion. Kungotaya nthawi basi!” Kodi atsogoleri amenewo adzakhala kuti pamene malamulo a Lamlungu abweradi ndipo zonse zimagwirizana ndendende ndi masiku awiri omaliza pa wotchi, 2012/2013 ndi 2014/2015? Kodi sadzakhala m’gulu la amene akupempha miyala kuti iwagwere ndi kuwakwirira?
Ngati Orion ikanazindikirika kokha kuti ilidi: Uthenga womaliza wa Mulungu ndi kuyitana kuchotsa zopinga zonse ku mgwirizano wa mipingo ya Seventh-day Adventist. Ndi uthenga woti mipingo ichite manyazi ndi zolakwa zawo zakale, kulapa, komanso kupempha chikhululukiro komanso kusabwereza zolakwazo. Ngati akanachita zimenezo, nchiyani chimene chingalepheretse umodzi wa chikhulupiriro umene unatayika m’njira kuyambira 1844 kuti usakhazikitsidwenso, potsirizira pake kutsogoza ku kulira kwakukuluko?
M'nkhani za "Mizere Yachifumu" iyi, tipeza masiku ena anayi mu wotchi ya Orion. Lililonse la masikuwa lili ndi nkhani yapadera yoti inene. Ndinagwira ntchito mwakhama ndi pemphero kwa nthaŵi yaitali kuti ndipeze mfundo zimene ndikufuna kukufotokozerani m’nkhanizi. Nthawi zina ndimayenera kukumba mozama chifukwa zinthu zambiri zabisika mwadala ndikukwiriridwa. Satana safuna kuti zinthu zina zionekere.
Pachiyambi, ndinafunsa mmene zinali zotheka kuti mosasamala kanthu za mlingo wakutiwakuti wa kuulula ndi kulapa, mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist wapita patsogolo m’njira yogwirizana kwambiri ndi Roma. Yesu akulankhula mawu ankhalwe oterowo motsutsana ndi mpingo wa ku Tiyatira, ndipo amautchanso wachigololo. Chinachake chikuyenera kuti chinachitika m’zaka 50 pakati pa 1936 ndi 1986 chimene sitinachizindikire. Ife tinazindikira molondola nyengo yoyambira mu 1936 ngati nyengo ya Pergamo, kutengera nyengo yakale ya Pergamo: mpingo wonyengerera, umene unaipitsidwa ndi ziphunzitso zonyenga ndipo potsirizira pake unakula kukhala chikunja, potsirizira pake mpaka ku Tiyatira.
Tiyeni tiwerengenso kosi ya Baibulo ya Seventh-day Adventist (“Seminario Revelaciones del Apocalipsis”), imene ndinatchula kale m’nkhani yapitayo. Ndemanga ya mavesi a Chivumbulutso 2:12-17 imati:
Ndipo kwa mngelo wa Mpingo wa ku Pergamo lemba; Izi anena Iye wakukhala nalo lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse; Ndidziwa ntchito zako, ndi kumene ukhala, inde kumene kuli mpando wa Satana; ndipo ugwira dzina langa, ndipo sunakane chikhulupiriro changa, angakhale m’masiku aja m’mene Antipa anali mboni yanga wokhulupirika. [Okhulupirira Reformation Adventist], amene anaphedwa pakati panu, kumene amakhala Satana [Europe, makamaka Germany mu 1936]. Koma ndiri nazo zinthu pang’ono zotsutsana ndi iwe, chifukwa uli nawo komweko akugwira chiphunzitso cha Balamu, amene adaphunzitsa Balaki kuponya chokhumudwitsa pamaso pa ana a Israyeli, kuti adye zoperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano, ndi kuchita dama. [kukonda dziko, kunyalanyaza uthenga wa zaumoyo, kavalidwe]. Momwemonso uli nawo iwo akugwira chiphunzitso cha Anikolai [kupembedza dzuwa, Santa Claus, etc.], chinthu chimene ndimadana nacho. Lapani; ukapanda kutero, ndidzadza kwa iwe msanga, ndipo ndidzamenyana nawo ndi lupanga la mkamwa mwanga [Baibulo]. Iye wakukhala nalo khutu amve chimene Mzimu anena kwa Mipingo; Kwa iye amene alakika ndidzampatsa kudya kwa mana obisika, ndipo ndidzampatsa mwala woyera, ndi mwa mwalawo dzina latsopano lolembedwa, limene palibe munthu alidziwa koma iye amene alilandira ilo. ( Chibvumbulutso 2:12-17 )
[Pergamo] imatenga gawo lachinayi, lachisanu ndi loyamba la zaka za zana lachisanu ndi chimodzi [kubwerezabwereza nthawi pambuyo pa 1936 ya National Socialism, nthawi ya chikominisi, Cold War ndipo potsiriza gulu la ecumenical]. Satana ataona kuti sakanatha kuwononga tchalitchichi mwa chizunzo, anayesa kulisokoneza mwa kulinyenga kuti ligwirizane ndi boma. [kuvomerezana kovomerezeka ndi boma la Hitler, ecumenism ndi zina zambiri zoti muwerenge m'nkhani zamtsogolo], motero anthu osatembenuka mtima [monga Ajesititi] analoŵa m’tchalitchimo ndi kupereka nawo ziphunzitso zawo. Chikunja, chimene chinalowa mu mpingo, chinawuchotsa iwo ku mphamvu yake yauzimu.
Tikudziwa kuti Orion imatiuza makamaka za mipingo ya Seventh-day Adventist ndi mbiri yawo. Kotero funso nlakuti: ndi chiyani kwenikweni chinachitika mu mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist kuti ukulitse mpingo wa ecumenical, kapena mwa kuyankhula kwina, wachigololo? Kuti ndiwerenge zambiri za chifukwa chake mpingo womwe umathandizira gulu la matchalitchi uli mumpatuko, ndikufuna ndikutumizire owerenga nkhaniyo. Ecumenical Adventist mgulu Palibe Chinachitika?
Kodi n’zotheka kuti chitukuko chowopsya chimenechi chikadalipo makamaka chifukwa cha lingaliro lolakwika la atsogoleri ena mkati mwa Nkhondo ziŵiri za Dziko, chifukwa chakuti atsogoleri amenewo anali ndi lingaliro lakuti Adventist akanatha kutengamo mbali m’ntchito yankhondo popanda kuswa malamulo a Mulungu, monga momwe a Adventist a Reformation akugogomezera mwamphamvu chotero?
sindikuganiza ayi. Tiyeni tiwerenge mawu omwe atulutsidwa posachedwa kuchokera Dziko Adventist pankhaniyi, lolembedwa ndi pulezidenti wakale wa mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist padziko lonse, Jan Paulsen:
Kuganizira Momveka Bwino Zokhudza Usilikali
Wolemba Jan Paulsen
Munjira zambiri, ndine mwana wa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse. Ndili kamnyamata, ndinaona mmene zinthu zinalili m’zaka zimenezo—kuwonongeka kwa miyoyo, kuchepa kwa mabanja, ndi chipwirikiti chachikulu cha anthu. Banja lathu linali litasamukila kudzikolo, ndipo kwa zaka zisanu za nkhondoyo tinkakhala m’nyumba ya wosamalira nyumba ya sukulu yakale. Zipindazo zinali zitasandutsidwa zipinda zogona zomwe munali asilikali achichepere a ku Germany oposa 300.
Ndikukumbukira tsiku lina chakumapeto kwa nkhondoyo ndikufunsa amayi kuti, “N’chifukwa chiyani asilikali a ku Germany akulira?” Ndinkawamva akulira m'zipinda zawo. Amayi anayankha kuti: “Ndi anyamata chabe. Amasowa kwawo; amawasowa amayi awo ndi abambo awo. Sakumvetsa chifukwa chimene akhalira kuno m’nyengo yozizira ya kumpoto kwa Norway. Sakumvetsa chifukwa chake akuyenera kukhala mbali ya zonsezi.” Anali anyamata, olandidwa mwayi wokulirapo ndikukumana ndi unyamata wamtundu wina.
Masiku ano, zaka zoposa 60 zitachoka panthaŵiyo, dziko lasintha kwambiri—ndale, zachuma, ndi luso lazopangapanga. Komabe udindo wa asilikali m’moyo wa mayiko ambiri, komanso m’mikangano ya mayiko padziko lonse lapansi, ukupitiriza kutiika patsogolo pathu funso lofunika la makhalidwe ndi lauzimu: Kodi Mkristu—Mkristu wa Seventh-day Adventist—ayenera kugwirizana bwanji ndi asilikali? Ndipo pamene tiyang’anizana ndi chosankha chotumikira m’gulu lankhondo—kaya monga msilikali kapena m’malo ena—ndi mfundo zotani zimene ziyenera kutitsogolera?
Mfundo zotsogolera
Tonsefe timamva ubale wamphamvu—lingaliro la mgwirizano—ndi anthu athu komanso dziko lathu. Kukhala kwathu nzika mu fuko kumapereka lingaliro la kukhulupirika, kukhala ndi phande m’zonse ziŵiri zolimbana ndi chimwemwe cha anthu amene tikukhala nawo. Palibe ukoma kudzipatula tokha kumadera athu. N’kwachibadwa kudziona kuti ndife onyada, ndipo n’kwabwino kuchita nawo moyo wa dziko limene tikukhala. Koma kodi mgwirizano umenewu uyenera kudziwonetsera bwanji pankhani ya asilikali a dziko lathu, pamene ntchito yathu yaikulu kwa Mulungu imayambitsa mikangano yomwe nthawi zonse imakhala yovuta kugwirizanitsa?
Ndikukhulupirira kuti kukambirana kulikonse pamutuwu kuyenera kukhala pamaziko awiri ofunikira.
Choyamba, mpingo umatchedwa kuti mawu omveka bwino a mfundo.
Nkhondo, mtendere, ndi kulowa usilikali si nkhani zandale. Lemba silili chete pa zinthu izi, ndipo mpingo, pamene umatanthauzira ndi kufotokoza mfundo za m'Malemba, uyenera kukhala liwu la ulamuliro wamakhalidwe ndi chikoka. Uwu si udindo "wosankha" - womwe titha kuuyika pambali ngati zitakhala zosasangalatsa kapena ngati zikutsutsana ndi malingaliro ambiri. Ngati tikhala chete, timalephera ntchito yathu kwa Mulungu ndi kwa anthu.
Chachiwiri, mpingo ndi nthumwi ya Mulungu ya chisomo.
Mukanyamula zida mumatanthawuza kuti ndinu okonzeka kuzigwiritsa ntchito kuti muphe wina. Uwunso, ndi udindo wofunikira. Munthu aliyense, mosasamala kanthu za zosankha zake kapena khalidwe lake, ndi wamtengo wapatali kwa Mulungu. Pamene mpingo ukudzifotokozera wokha pankhaniyi ndi kupereka uphungu kwa mamembala ake ndi anthu onse, suyenera kudzilola kuiwala mfundo yosasinthika iyi: Mulungu amene timamtumikira ndi mchiritsi ndi Mpulumutsi. Kuchiritsa ndi kupulumutsa ndi ntchito yoyamba ya mpingo. Pamene anthu akulimbana ndi mafunso ameneŵa—ndipo mwinamwake kupanga zosankha zimene, polingalira za m’mbuyo, amalakalaka akanapanda—mpingo uyenera kusonyeza mosalekeza chikondi cha Mulungu chopanda malire, chochiritsa.
Choncho, pokumbukira zinthu zimenezi, ndikufuna ndiganizire za mafunso awiri okhudza mmene mpingo umaonera utumiki wa usilikali, m’mbiri yakale komanso masiku ano. Mafunso amenewa—mbali zodetsa nkhaŵa—adza kwa ine mobwerezabwereza m’zaka zaposachedwa pamene ndayendera ponse paŵiri anthu wamba ndi atsogoleri a matchalitchi m’madera ambiri a dziko lapansi.
1. Kutaya kumveka bwino?
Mbiri yakale ya tchalitchi chathu pankhani yotumikira m’gulu lankhondo inasonyezedwa momveka bwino zaka 150 zapitazo—kumayambiriro kwenikweni kwa mbiri yathu, pamene nkhondo yapachiŵeniŵeni ku America inachitika. Chigwirizano, chofotokozedwa m'nkhani ndi zolemba za nthawiyo, komanso chisankho cha General Conference cha 1867, chinali chosatsutsika. “…[T] kunyamula zida, kapena kuchita nawo nkhondo, ndikuphwanya mwachindunji chiphunzitso cha Mpulumutsi wathu ndi mzimu ndi kalata ya chilamulo cha Mulungu” (1867, Gawo lachisanu la Msonkhano Waukulu Wapachaka). Izi, m’mawu ambiri, zakhala mfundo yotitsogolera: Pamene munyamula zida mumasonyeza kuti ndinu wokonzeka kuzigwiritsa ntchito kulanda moyo wa munthu wina, ndipo kutenga moyo wa mmodzi wa ana a Mulungu, ngakhale wa “mdani” wathu, n’kosagwirizana ndi zimene timaona kuti n’zopatulika ndi zolondola.
Kwa zaka zambiri, mfundo imeneyi yasintha khalidwe la Seventh-day Adventist panthawi ya mtendere ndi mikangano. Ambiri asankha kuchita ntchito zachipatala mkati mwa magulu ankhondo. Amatenga nawo mbali monga ochiritsa. Amauza mtundu wawo kuti: “Sindingathe kuchita monga wakupha; zikanandiwononga ine ndekha. Koma ndikhoza kuthandiza anthu amene akhumudwa ndi mkangano umenewu. Ndikhoza kugwira ntchito monga Mkhristu ngati ndingathe kuchiritsa.”
Masiku ano m’mayiko ena achinyamata amakakamizidwa kulowa usilikali. Mwamwayi, nthawi zambiri ntchito zina zimaperekedwa, zomwe sizifuna kuti munthu aziphunzitsa kapena kugwiritsa ntchito zida. Izi zitha kukhala chaka ndi theka ndikugwira ntchito zolimbikira kupanga misewu kapena kuthandiza pantchito zina zachitukuko.
Komabe, pali maiko ena komwe kulembedwako kumakulepheretsani kukhala okhulupirira a Adventist. Simungathe kusunga Sabata. Simukupatsidwa mwayi wina koma kunyamula zida. M'mikhalidwe yoteroyo, muli ndi chisankho chovuta kwambiri. Kulandira chilango cha kusagwirizana—mwina kutsekeredwa m’ndende—kungakhale chosankha chimene mungapange kukhala wokhulupirika ku zikhulupiliro zanu zazikulu ndi Ambuye wanu.
Kodi masiku ano pali chisokonezo chilichonse chokhudza udindo wa mpingo? Kodi tachita ntchito yabwino yofotokozera mfundo izi? Mwachionekere, funso limeneli silidzayankhidwa mofanana m’mbali zonse za mpingo wapadziko lonse. Komabe, polankhula ndi mamembala a tchalitchi m’maiko ambiri osiyanasiyana ndaona, nthaŵi zina, kusamvana kwinakwake ponena za mbiri yathu—lingaliro, mwinamwake, lakuti “zinali pamenepo, ndipo ndi tsopano.” Ndipo komabe sindikudziwa chifukwa chake izi ziyenera kukhala choncho.
2. Kusoŵa chitsogozo cha makhalidwe abwino?
Izi zimanditsogolera ku funso langa lachiwiri. Kodi timapereka chitsogozo chokwanira m'matchalitchi athu ndi masukulu kwa achinyamata athu pamene akukumana ndi zosankha zovuta zokhudzana ndi ntchito ya usilikali? Kodi nthawi zina timanyalanyaza udindo wathu monga kampasi ya makhalidwe abwino pankhani imeneyi? Popanda chitsogozo cha tchalitchi chawo, kodi ena mwa achichepere athu amaona kuloŵa usilikali monga “njira ina chabe ya ntchito,” mmalo mwa chosankha chamakhalidwe chocholoŵana ndi zotulukapo zofika patali, mwina zosadziŵika, kaamba ka moyo wawo wauzimu?
Sizovuta kumvetsetsa mphamvu zomwe zingapangitse munthu kulingalira ntchito ya usilikali. Kusankha kwawo kungakhale kosonkhezeredwa ndi chikhumbo chofuna kutumikira dziko lawo, kapena asilikali angatsegule mipata ya maphunziro ndi ukatswiri imene ingaoneke ngati yosapezeka kwina kulikonse. Achinyamata angachiwone ngati njira yachidule, yofunikira kwambiri yopita ku chinthu china. Angauone kukhala “choipa” —njira yopita ku mtsogolo imene, chifukwa cha kusowa ndalama kapena mipata ina, ayenera kutenga kuti akwaniritse zimene angathe.
Komabe nthawi zina, kulowa usilikali modzifunira ndiko kudzimana posankha kusanyamula zida, kapena kupempha makonzedwe a kusunga Sabata. Mumasankha mwaufulu kusiya ufulu wanu muzinthu izi. Kenako ndinamufunsa kuti: “Kodi mwaganizirapo zimenezi? Kodi mwalingalirapo zotsatira za unansi wanu ndi Kristu ndi kukhudzika mtima kwanu kozama?”
Ena angaŵerengere ngoziyo n’kunena kuti: “Ngakhale kuti mwaukadaulo sindingasankhe kunyamula zida kapena kusatenga zida, mwaŵi ngwakuti, asanu ndi anayi mwa khumi mwa anthu khumi alionse, sindidzadzipeza ndili m’mkhalidwe wankhondo umene ndingafunikire kugwiritsira ntchito zidazo.” Koma mosasamala kanthu kuti mwapita kunkhondo kapena ayi, mwapanga chisankho pazikhalidwe zina zofunika ndipo mwalengeza izi poyera. Mukuvomereza kuthekera kwakuti mungafunike kupita mumsewu umenewo, ndipo izi zidzachitapo kanthu kwa inu monga munthu. Idzasintha ndikukupangani inu. Posankha mwachidwi kuvomereza mikhalidwe yomwe mungafunikire kunyamula zida kapena kutaya kuthekera kwanu kusunga Sabata, ndikulingalira kuti mwayika maziko auzimu ndi makhalidwe a moyo wanu pachiwopsezo chachikulu.
Kotero, pamene olemba usilikali abwera ku mayunivesite athu ndi makoleji, kapena masukulu athu a sekondale, kuyika pamaso pa ophunzira aang'ono mwayi umene gulu lankhondo limapereka, kodi tchalitchichi chikupereka uthenga womveka bwino? Kodi pali winanso akufunsa kuti: “Kodi mwalingalirapo izi? Kodi munaganizirapo zomwe izi zingakuchitireni? Kodi mwaganizapo za mtengo womwe mungalipire potengera zinthu zomwe mumaona kuti ndi zamtengo wapatali? Dipatimenti ya Chaplaincy Ministries ku Msonkhano Wachigawo ikupanga njira zina zothandizira kupereka uphungu ndi uphungu wofunikira kwambiri m'masukulu athu ndi mipingo, ndipo ndikulandira izi.
Ndimamvera kwambiri anthu omwe atenga "chiwopsezo chowerengeka" ndikupeza kuti ali pankhondo, momwe amayembekezera ndikupemphera kuti apewe. Saona njira yotulukira. Kodi mpingo wawo uyenera kunena chiyani kwa iwo? "Ndinakuuza choncho?" "Manyazi akugwireni?" Ayi! Mpingo ndi gulu lotumikira, lochiritsa, lopulumutsa. Iyi ndi nthawi imene wachinyamata, mosasamala kanthu za kusankha kolakwika kapena kutembenuka kolakwika, ayenera kumva kukumbatiridwa ndi mpingo wawo.
Kutsiliza
Uwu si mutu wamba, kapena "wokwanira"; ndi mbali imodzi chabe ya nkhani yokulirapo ya nkhondo, mtendere, ndi udindo Wachikristu. Ndipo mafunso omwe ndafunsa samapereka mayankho omveka bwino kapena kuyankha pat. Ndi mafunso omwe amabweretsa malingaliro amphamvu, nthawi zina a visceral. Amafika mozama pakudzimvetsetsa kwathu komanso kudziwika kwathu, monga nzika za dziko lathu komanso mamembala a banja la Mulungu. Mayankho athu amapangidwa makamaka ndi zomwe takumana nazo komanso chikhalidwe chathu, komanso chikondi chathu pa dziko lathu komanso chikhumbo chathu chogawana nawo mbiri yake ndi tsogolo lake. Ngakhale izi ndizovuta, sizingayikidwe pachifukwa ichi. Chotero tiyeni tikambirane zinthu zimenezi pamodzi—m’nyumba zathu, m’mipingo yathu, ndi m’masukulu athu—ndipo tizichita zimenezi ndi mtima wotseguka ndi mzimu wodzichepetsa.
Ichi ndi mawu omveka bwino a mfundo yakuti kunyamula zida kapena kutenga nawo mbali pa ntchito ya usilikali ndi anti-Adventist, ndipo ngakhale anti-Christian. Ndili ndi anzanga ambiri m’tchalitchi chachikulu amene alibe maganizo ofanana ndipo amakhulupirirabe kuti matchalitchi a Reform ndi okhwimitsa zinthu kwambiri. Ayi, abwenzi okondedwa, pulezidenti wanu wa mpingo anakufotokozerani izi momveka bwino! Ndi tchimo kupha mnansi wako, ngakhale pankhondo, ndipo ndi tchimo ngakhale kunyamula zida. Zomwe sizikutchulidwa m'nkhani yonseyi, ndi momwe ofera chikhulupiriro adaperekera miyoyo yawo mu nkhondo ziwiri zapadziko lonse chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro ichi. “Wokondedwa Jan Paulsen, kodi simungatchuleko abale anu amene anaferadi chifukwa cha kukhudzika komwe muli nako? Kapena kodi mukufunikirabe kubisala kuti pasakhale wina aliyense amene angazindikire kuti mipingo iwiri ya Reform ilipo? Inde, ndikukumvani, koma kodi mukuyenera kuponda molimba zala zala zala za Reform Adventist, kuti musawatchule m'mawu anu okhudza nkhani yotsutsana kwambiri iyi? Kapena mwina pali zobisika zomwe mwanena?"
Koma dikirani, vuto lili pati pakati pa mipingo pankhaniyi? Vuto silikupezekanso! Pambuyo pa mawu atsatanetsatane a pulezidenti wa tchalitchi mosakayikira, nkhani iyi iyenera kukhala yomveka bwino! Palibe kunyamula zida, kulowa usilikali, kupha anthu mosasamala kanthu za mmene zinthu zilili. Okondedwa a Reform Adventist, nanga bwanji mudakali ndi vuto ndi abale ndi alongo mu mpingo waukulu?
Zoona zake n’zakuti pali maphompho ena akuya, koma kodi tingawapeze kuti? Ndipo ndi kuti kumene tiyenera kuloza mphamvu zathu kutsimikizira kuti zopinga zooneka ngati zosagonjetsekazi zigonjetsedwe pakati pa mipingo? Monga tonse tikudziwira, zonse zimatengera kumvera ku malamulo a Mulungu ndi maumboni a Ellen G. White. Mipingo ya Seventh Day Adventist Reform yaika maganizo awo pa uthenga wa umoyo (mpaka poti iwo saona chilichonse), ndipo mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist uli ndi maganizo “omasuka” pa zinthu, ndipo manambala a umembala amakhala patsogolo kuposa kudzudzula abale ndi alongo osakhulupirika. Chifukwa chake, zadziko zimatengera mpingo mochulukira, ndipo tisadabwe kuti ambiri ali pano Ecumenical Adventists.
Pamene ena amatsegula kwenikweni chitseko cha dziko (kupyolera mu masiku otseguka ndi mipingo ya ecumenical, masiku a mpingo wa ecumenical padziko lonse, kutenga nawo mbali kwa anthu amitundu yonse mu zochitika zachipembedzo, ndi zina zotero), ena akuyang'anira zitseko kuchokera kwa abale awo, okhala ndi zida za uzimu ndi Ellen G. White amagwira mawu ndi mavesi a Baibulo, ndipo ngati wina apanga kusuntha kumodzi kolakwika ndipo amafunsidwa nthawi yomweyo pamisonkhano yachitatu mpaka m'mawa. Onse ndi olakwika; onsewo ndi opambanitsa. Kukhala Mkristu kumatanthauza kukhala wolinganizika, osati wopambanitsa. Chikondi chiyenera kukhala maziko ochitira zinthu ndi wina, osati kufunafuna phindu kapena kukula kwa gulu, kapena kusamvetsetsana ndi kukokomeza ufulu, kapena kuipidwa monyanyira. Koma kodi timajambulapo kuti? Kodi talandira kale malangizo pankhaniyi? Kapena kodi Mulungu watisiya tokha, n’kutsala pang’ono kusonkhezera matchalitchi kumenyana pa nkhani zoterozo? Kodi chinali cholinga Chake kuti adzetse kulekana pakati pa mipingo ya Seventh-day Adventist posiya mfundo zina zobisika m'Mawu Ake? Ndithudi ayi, ndipo posachedwapa tidzaona kuti kamodzinso Mulungu walemba momveka bwino mu Orion zimene amafuna ndi mauthenga Ake, ndi ziphunzitso ziti zimene zimachokera kwa Iye ndi zimene siziri.
Ambiri angafunse kuti, “Zoonadi? Kodi zonsezi zalembedwa mu Orion?” Inde, Orion ikadali ndi maphunziro ambiri a mipingo yathu. Sitinayambenso kumvetsa chilichonse. Tazindikira kale nthawi yomwe tingayembekezere Orion kutiwonetsa china chake, makamaka nthawi kuyambira 1936 mpaka 1986. Tikuyembekeza kuti itifotokozere momwe zinalili zotheka kuti mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist ufikire mkhalidwe wake wakugwa. Tsopano tikuyamba kukumba mozama mu Orion pamodzi!
Mpaka pano, tangolingalira za nyenyezi zolozera, zamoyo zinayi za pa Chivumbulutso 4, ndi nyenyezi yapakati ya koloko, Alnitak, nyenyezi ya Yesu. Mpaka pano sitinaganizirepo kuti Lemba limalankhula nthawi zonse nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri ikafika ku Orion ngati wotchi ya Mulungu. Yesu ali ndi nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri m'dzanja lake, koma mpaka pano ife tagwiritsa ntchito zisanu zokha mwa izo kumasulira mwambi wa bukhu ndi zisindikizo zisanu ndi ziwiri. Ndiye, ndi nyenyezi ziti zomwe zikusoweka m'malingaliro athu?
Zolondola! Mpaka pano sitinagwiritse ntchito nyenyezi ziwiri zomwe zimapanga mbali zonse za mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu:
Alnilam, pakati pa nyenyezi za lamba, mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu Atate, ndi
Mintaka, kumanja kwa lamba nyenyezi, mpando wachifumu wa Mzimu Woyera.
Pakadali pano sitinapereke tanthauzo lililonse kapena mizere kwa nyenyezi izi. Ndikufuna kuzichita pakali pano. Monga kale, timajambula mizere kuchokera pakati pa wotchi (Alnitak, nyenyezi ya Yesu) koma nthawi ino kudutsa mu nyenyezi ziwiri za pampando wachifumu. Ngati tiyang'ana Orion ndi diso lamaliseche, zikuwoneka ngati nyenyezi zitatu za malamba zimakonzedwa mu mzere wangwiro, koma sizili choncho kwenikweni. Mintaka ili pamwamba pa mzere ndipo Alnilam ili pansi pake pang'ono. Kusintha kwakung'ono kumeneku kumabweretsa mizere iŵiri yomwe imaoneka ngati kuwala kofutukuka kosalekeza kowala zaka ziŵiri mu wotchi ya Orion:
Monga momwe tikuonera pachithunzichi, Yesu akuvumbulutsa zaka zina ziwiri zolembedwa mu Orion: 1949 ndi 1950. Tsopano, ndikufuna kutsindika mwa kugwiritsa ntchito mtundu wofiira umene tikuchita pano ndi mizere yapadera kwambiri ndi zaka. Ndikunena izi chifukwa manja a wotchi awiri omwe akulozera ku zaka izi sanapangidwe ndi Yesu komanso aserafi (angelo okhala ndi mapiko asanu ndi limodzi), koma ndi Umulungu wonse: Mwana, Atate ndi Mzimu Woyera Iwowokha. Anthu atatu a Uphungu Waumulungu ameneŵa akuimiridwa ndi katatu kosonyeza 1949 ndi 1950! Izi ndi zokhudza chiyero chopambana, ndipo tikupondaponda pa malo oyera. Ndi za ziphunzitso ndi nkhani zokhudzana ndi Umulungu Iye mwini kumene Umulungu ndi dongosolo lake lachipulumutso linatsutsidwa! Chonde, tisaiwale izi pamene tikupitilira phunziro lathu!
Tiyeni tsopano tilingalire iriyonse ya madeti apadera ameneŵa aliyense payekha ndi kuyesa kulingalira zimene zinachitika m’zaka zimenezo zimene ziri zofunika kwambiri kwa Mulungu ndi anthu Ake kotero kuti zikusonyezedwa mu Orion ndi "Mizere ya Mpandowachifumu", monga nditchulira makona atatuwa kuyambira pano. Paulendo wathu wopita ku zochitika zakale za mpingo wa Adventist, tidzapeza zinthu zomwe sizinangogawanitsa mpingo mkati mwa makampu osiyanasiyana, komanso zimalepheretsa mipingo kugwirizananso.
Tidzazindikira kuti Mulungu wayika chizindikiro zaka izi kuti atiwonetse bwino zomwe zimatigawanitsa, komanso kuti awonetse kufunikira kwake pa nkhani zachipembedzo ndi zomwe akufuna kuti tichite. Iye amafuna kuti tigwirizane, ndipo amatisonyeza kuti palibe mpingo umodzi umene ukuima pa choonadi. Kudzavumbulutsidwa m’kufufuza kwathu kuti palibe mpingo uliwonse umene ukuchitadi chifuniro cha Mulungu. Chowonadi chidzasonyezedwa mwangwiro ndi momvekera bwino—chowonadi chimene Mulungu watsimikizira m’chivumbulutso Chake chachikulu, bukhu lokhala ndi zisindikizo zisanu ndi ziŵiri za Orion. Nkhani zotsatirazi zidzasonyeza zotulukapo zowopsa kwa atsogoleri ambiri, ndipo iwo adzafunikira kusankha ngati apitirizabe kusunga malingaliro awo akale ndi kupita kuchitayiko, kapena kuphunzitsa ndi kuchita zimene Mulungu amafuna kwa iwo. Ine ndikuganiza kuti ambiri a iwo anali kale mantha imfa atangoona awiri chaka chatsopano madeti pamwamba tchati; iwo amadziwa ndendende chimene iwo akutanthauza.
Kusankha zochita pa Mulungu kudzafuna nsembe yaikulu ya atsogoleri ambiri. Chowonadi chili ndi mtengo wake! Kwa ambiri, kudzatanthauza kutaya chichirikizo chawo chonse chakudziko kukhala ku mbali ya Mulungu. Iye awathandize kudziwa chowonadi ndi kuwapatsa mphamvu zomupangira zosankha zabwino, mosasamala kanthu za mtengo uliwonse. Iye awadalitse—iwo ndi abale athu, ndipo Yesu anawafera iwo. Ife tiyenera kuwakonda iwo momwe Iye amachitira, ifenso. Orion imatithandiza kusiyanitsa choonadi ndi cholakwika ndi kuwongolera abale ndi alongo athu ndi uthenga wachikondi wa Mulungu wochokera ku Orion.
