Yosindikizidwa koyambirira Lachiwiri, June 15, 2010, 4:21 pm mu German pa www.letztercountdown.org

Pamene ndinali mphunzitsi wa Sukulu ya Sabata mu mpingo wawukulu wa SDA, ndinali kumva ndi kuwerenga kuchokera kwa abale, akulu, ndi abusa kuti. “Yesu anali ngati ife muzonse, koma sanayesedwe kuchokera mkati monga ife. Sanadziyese yekha,” chirichonse chimene izo zikutanthauza. Sindinapeze zomveka mmenemo, ndipo sindinadziŵe zimene ankafuna kunena. Kotero, iwo anandifotokozera izo mowonjezera kwa ine: “Yesu anayesedwa ndi Satana kuchokera kunja, monganso nafe, koma Yesu analibe chizolowezi chochimwa monga ife.”

Anikolai pakati pathu?

Lero tikudziwa kudzera mu phunziro la Orion kuti iwo anali olakwa ndipo ichi ndi chimodzi mwa ziphunzitso zoipitsitsa za mpingo wa Adventist, zolembedwa mofiira ndi Yesu ku Orion. Sadzalola kuti tikhale osamveka bwino pa mfundo imeneyi. Ayi, iye anayesedwa m’njira iliyonse monga mmene ife timachitira, ndipo iye amadziwa mayesero onse chifukwa cha chizolowezi chathu chochimwa, popanda kufunikira kuti Satana alowererepo. Kuyesedwa muzonse monga momwe ife tiriri, kumatanthauza, kuyesedwa mu ZONSE monga ife! Iye ndi chitsanzo chathu, amene anavutika zonse monga ife, koma wopanda uchimo. Chotero, ifenso tingathe, ngati tidalira thandizo lake ndi mphamvu zake, zimene amatipatsa mofunitsitsa, ngati tingodalira.

Tiyeni tiwerenge Wailesi ya Mawu a Choonadi zimene gulu lampatuko la Anikolai pa nthawi ya atumwi linakhulupirira ndi kuphunzitsa:

Anikolai: Limodzi la mipatuko yampatuko imene inavutitsa mipingo ya ku Efeso ndi ku Pergamo, ndipo mwinamwake kwina. Irenaeus akuzindikiritsa Anikolai ngati gulu la Gnostic:

“Yohane, wophunzira wa Ambuye, amalalikira chikhulupiriro ichi (umulungu wa Khristu), ndipo amafuna, mwa kulengeza kwa Uthenga Wabwino, kuchotsa cholakwa chimene ndi Cerinthus anali anafalitsidwa pakati pa anthu, ndipo nthawi yaitali m'mbuyomo ndi iwo otchedwa Anikolai, amene ali mbali ya “chidziwitso” chotchedwa “chidziwitso” monama, kuti iye awasokoneze iwo, amene anapanga zinthu zonse ndi Mawu Ake (Mulungu). Irenaeus Against Heresies iii 11. 1; ANF vol.

Palinso umboni wa mbiri yakale wampatuko wa Gnostic wotchedwa Anikolai zaka zana limodzi pambuyo pake.

Chiphunzitso cha Anikolai chikuwoneka kuti chinali mtundu wa antinomianism. (Antinomianism: Chikhulupiriro chozikidwa pa kuzindikira chifundo cha Mulungu monga maziko a chipulumutso, koma chimapangitsa kulakwitsa koopsa kuti munthu angakhoze kutenga nawo mbali mu uchimo mwaufulu chifukwa Chilamulo cha Mulungu sichimangiriridwanso. Icho chinali ndi chowonadi pa kuwerengera mopanda chilungamo kwa chilungamo; koma kuganiza kuti "chikhulupiriro" chaluntha m'chowonadi ichi chinatsutsa kulakwitsa kwa Mtumwi Yakobo: 2 Yakobo anali ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa. chenjezo lakuti, “Adierekezi akhulupiriranso, nanthunthumira”; kutikumbutsa kuti chikhulupiriro chowona ndi mfundo yogwira ntchito imene imagwira ntchito mwa chikondi ndipo imapitirira kuvomereza chikhulupiriro, “Koma kodi udziŵa, munthu wopanda pake iwe, kuti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito chili chakufa?” ( Yakobo 19:2 ) Baibulo limatiphunzitsa kuti chipulumutso ndi mphatso yaulere, yozikidwa pa chisomo cha Mulungu chokha ( Aefeso 20:2-8 ) Yesu ku ntchito zabwino, zimene Mulungu anazikonzeratu kuti tiyende mmenemo.” ( Aefeso 9:2 ) Chikhulupiriro chowona chimabala zochita, limodzinso ndi chikhumbo cha chiyero ndi kumvera. (10 Yohane 1:3; Tito 18:2-11; 15 Petro 1:1-15; Chivumbulutso 16:14)

Anikolai a m'zaka za zana la 2 akuwoneka kuti adapitilira ndikukulitsa malingaliro a otsatira zana la 1st, akugwiritsitsa ufulu wathupi ndi uchimo, ndikuphunzitsa kuti zochita za thupi sizikhala ndi mphamvu pa thanzi la moyo ndipo chifukwa chake palibe chiyanjano ndi chipulumutso. Kumbali ina, Baibulo limaphunzitsa kuti Akristu ayenera “kufa” ku uchimo ndi ntchito za “thupi” lathu: “Ndiye tidzanena chiyani? Tipitirizebe kukhala mu uchimo, kuti chisomo chichuluke? Mulungu aletse. Nanga ife amene tinafa kuuchimo tidzakhala bwanjinso mmenemo? ( Aroma 6:1-2 ) “Momwemonso inunso dziyeseni kuti ndinu akufa ndithu kuuchimo, koma amoyo kwa Mulungu mwa Yesu Kristu Ambuye wathu. Chifukwa chake musalole uchimo uchite ufumu m'thupi lanu la imfa, kuti mumvere zilakolako zake. Ndipo musapereke ziwalo zanu ku uchimo, zikhale zida za chosalungama; ( Aroma 6:11-13 )

Lerolino, chiphunzitsochi tsopano chikuphunzitsidwa mokulira kuti Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu wapangitsa lamulo la Mulungu kukhala lopanda mphamvu: kuti mwa “kukhulupirira” timamasulidwa ku kufunikira kokhala akuchita Mawu. Koma ichi ndi chiphunzitso cha Anikolai, chimene Khristu anachitsutsa mopanda malire mu Bukhu la Chivumbulutso. “Koma khalani akuchita mawu, osati akumva okha, ndi kudzinyenga nokha. (Yakobo 1:22) --Zikomo kwa George Blumenschein poyankha funso ili!

Lero, "Anikolai" pakati pathu Adventist amatsutsana ngakhale pang'ono. Iwo amanena kuti Yesu anali wosiyana pang’ono ndi ife. Zoonadi, sanachimwe, koma sanayesedwe monga ife “mochokera mkati,” chifukwa anali ndi chikhalidwe cha Adamu wosachimwa. Koma ife anthu “osauka” amene tinatengera uchimo kwa zaka pafupifupi 6,000, timayesedwa ndi thupi lathu. Chifukwa chake abale athu Achinikolai-Adventist amaganiza kuti sitiyenera kukhala angwiro monga Khristu, chifukwa munjira iliyonse adzatikhululukira machimo athu onse akadzabwera. Iye anali ndi mwayi umene ife tiribe. Kwa Iye sizinali zovuta monga momwe zimakhalira kuti tisachimwe.

Komabe, kuti tikhazikitse chiphunzitso chonyenga chimenechi m’gulu lathu lachikhulupiriro, sikunali kokwanira kungotchula mawu ena m’buku lophunzirira. Zinafunikira khama lowonjezereka. "Chiwonetsero cha zochitika zatsopano za Adventist Christology" chinayenera kukhazikitsidwa ndi kufalitsidwa kwambiri kotero kuti aliyense amene amabwera ku mafunsowa mwamsanga kapena pambuyo pake "atsukidwe" ubongo wake ndi chiphunzitso chaumulungu chonyenga ichi. Izi zidapangitsa kuti buku lodziwika bwino la "Questions on Doctrine" mu 1950s.

Chifukwa chake, tiyenera kuyang'ananso buku lodabwitsa la Jean Rudolf Zurcher, "Kukhudzidwa ndi Zomverera Zathu", ndikumulola afotokoze komwe chikhulupiriro ichi cha kusagwa kwa Yesu chinatsogolera mu mpingo wa Adventist ndi zomwe zili m'bukuli, lofalitsidwa koyamba mu 1957. “Chinikolai” m’magulu athu cholimba monga makoma a Yeriko, omwe poyamba ankawoneka ngati osagonjetseka.

Nkhani zimenezi zinalinganizidwira kukonzekeretsa maganizo kulandira “chochitika chatsopano cha Adventism,” monga momwe chinayenera kulongosoledwa m’buku lakuti “Seventh-day Adventists Answer. Mafunso pa Chiphunzitso”. Madzulo a kuoneka kwake, Anderson analengeza mu "Utumiki" monga bukhu lodabwitsa kwambiri lomwe linasindikizidwa ndi tchalitchi. Popeza likunena za umunthu wa Kristu mwatsatanetsatane, tiyenera kulipenda bwino lomwe bukuli.

Mafunso pa Chiphunzitso

Bukuli ndi zotsatira za misonkhano yomwe inachitikira ndi oimira avangeli a Donald Gray Barnhouse ndi Walter R. Martin. Martin anali atatsala pang'ono kusindikiza buku lake lakuti "The Truth About Seventh-day Adventism", lofalitsidwa mu 1960.

"Mafunso pa Chiphunzitso" samangonena za chiphunzitso cha Kubadwa kwa Munthu. Ndilo yankho ku mafunso ambiri a chiphunzitso amene amafunsidwa kawirikawiri ndi alaliki pa nkhani za “chipulumutso mwa chisomo ndi chipulumutso mwa ntchito, kusiyana pakati pa malamulo a makhalidwe abwino ndi miyambo, chofanizira cha mbuzi ya Azazeli, kudziwika kwa Mikaeli ndi zina zotero kupyolera mu zikhulupiriro ndi machitidwe a Adventist osiyanasiyana, okhudza chiphunzitso ndi ulosi.”

Martin ndi Barnhouse makamaka anatsutsa udindo umene apainiya a Adventist anautenga pokhudzana ndi umulungu wa Khristu ndi umunthu wa Yesu, zomwe iwo moona mtima ankaziwona kuti zinali zolakwika ndi zampatuko. Choncho, sizinali zodabwitsa kuti iwo anafunsa ngati pa mfundo zimenezi udindo wa boma unasintha. Mafunso achindunji ponena za Kubadwanso Kwinakwake anafunsidwa: “Kodi Adventist amamvetsetsanji ponena za kugwiritsira ntchito kwa Kristu dzina laulemu lakuti ‘Mwana wa munthu’? Ndipo mukuganiza kuti cholinga chachikulu cha Kubadwa kwa Munthu chinali chiyani? ”

Poyankha, pafupifupi malemba onse a m’Baibulo okhudza Christology anagwidwa mawu. Ponena za milozo yolongosola, iwo kaŵirikaŵiri anapangidwa pamaziko a mawu ogwidwa kuchokera kwa Ellen G. White. Akuluakulu a Adventist anayesetsa kusonyeza kuti “zolemba za Ellen G. White zimagwirizana kotheratu ndi Malemba pa zimenezi.” Sizinatsutsidwe kuti Kristu “anali Adamu wachiŵiri, kubwera ‘m’chifaniziro’ cha thupi laumunthu lochimwa ( Aroma 8:3 )”; kapena kuti Ellen G. White anagwiritsira ntchito mawu onga “chibadwa chaumunthu,” “chibadwa chathu chauchimo,” “chibadwa chathu chakugwa,” “chibadwa cha munthu m’mikhalidwe yake yakugwa.”

Palibe amene angatsutse kuti “Yesu anali kudwala kapena kuti anakumana ndi zofooka zimene umunthu wathu wakuchimwa umakhala wolandira cholowa. Koma Iye anatero kunyamula zonse izi. Sizikanakhala kuti Iye ananyamula izi mwachidwi komanso, monga Iye anasenza machimo adziko lonse lapansi? Zofooka izi, zofooka, zofooka, zolephera ndi zinthu zomwe ife, ndi chikhalidwe chathu cha uchimo, chakugwa, tiyenera kupirira. Kwa ife ndi chilengedwe, koma pamene adawabereka, sadawatenge ngati chinthu Chake mwachibadwa, koma adawanyamula monga m'malo mwathu. Iye anawanyamula iwo mu chikhalidwe Chake changwiro, chosachimwa. Apanso tikuonanso kuti, Khristu anasenza zonsezi mopweteka, monga mmene Iye ananyamulira mphulupulu za ife tonse.”

Mwachidule, “chilichonse chimene Yesu anatenga sichiri mwachibadwa kapena mwachibadwa. . . . Zonse zimene Yesu anatenga, zonse zimene Iye anabala, kaya katundu ndi chilango cha mphulupulu zathu, kapena matenda ndi zofooka za umunthu wathu—zonse zinatengedwa ndi kunyamulidwa. mwachidwi. "

Mawu ameneŵa alidi njira yamatsenga yopezeka mu “chinthu chatsopano cha Adventism.” Malinga ndi kunena kwa alembi a “Questions on Doctrine”, “ndi m’lingaliro limeneli kuti onse ayenera kumvetsetsa zolembedwa za Ellen G. White pamene amatchula nthaŵi ndi nthaŵi za kuchimwa, kugwa, ndi kunyonyotsoka kwaumunthu.”

Olemba bukulo anasindikiza, m’zakumapeto, mawu pafupifupi 66 ochokera kwa Ellen G. White anawagawa m’zigawo zokhala ndi mawu ang’onoang’ono monga: “Took Sinless Human Nature,” kapena “Perfect Sinlessness of Christ’s Human Nature.” Mawu oterowo, ndithudi, sanalembedwe ndi Ellen G. White.

Nkoyera kuti “chochitika chatsopano cha Adventism” chimasiyana kwambiri ndi chiphunzitso chamwambo chonena za umunthu wa Kristu m’njira zinayi. Imanena kuti:

1. Khristu anatenga chikhalidwe cha uzimu cha Adamu asanagwe; ndiko kunena kuti, umunthu wopanda uchimo.
2. Kristu anatengera zotulukapo za thupi la umunthu wochimwa; ndiko kunena kuti, kubadwa kwake kunachepetsedwa ndi zaka 4,000 za uchimo.
3. Kusiyana kwa mayesero a Khristu ndi Adamu kunakhazikika pakusiyana kwa chilengedwe ndi zochitika koma osati kusiyana kwa chikhalidwe.
4. Khristu ananyamula machimo adziko lapansi mosintha, osati kwenikweni, koma monga cholowa mmalo mwa munthu wochimwa, popanda kutenga nawo mbali mu chikhalidwe chake cha uchimo.

Poperekedwa monga momwe zinalili ndi chisindikizo chowonekera cha chivomerezo cha General Conference, bukhu la “Seventh-day Adventists Answer Questions on Doctrine” linafalitsidwa mofala m’maseminale, mayunivesite, ndi malaibulale a anthu onse. Mabaibulo zikwizikwi anatumizidwa kwa atsogoleri achipembedzo komanso kwa maprofesa a zaumulungu omwe sanali a Adventist. Pafupifupi makope a 140,000 omwe adasindikizidwa anali ndi chikoka chapadera kunja ndi mkati mwa mpingo wa Adventist.

Kufalitsidwa kwa bukuli kunachititsa anthu mantha kwambiri moti anthu sanachedwe kubwera. Ilo linali lisanatuluke konse m'manyuzipepala pamene linakhala mkangano waukulu, umene unapitirizabe mwamphamvu kupyola zaka kufikira masiku athu ano.

Ndi mpumulo chabe kuti kudzera mu Orion tsopano tikudziwa yemwe anali wolondola ndi momwe Yesu amawerengeradi tchimo. Mikangano yonseyi ikanakhala yopanda ntchito ngati atsogoleri akanadalira Mzimu wa Uneneri ndipo osadzitaya okha m'malingaliro awo opotoka aumunthu. Yesu anaika choonadi ichi m’Mawu ake momveka bwino, koma chikanatilekanitsa ndi dziko lapansi. Njira yopita ku zipembedzo zikadasokonezedwa tikadapitirizabe monga mpingo wokhawo kunena kuti Yesu anabwera m’thupi lauchimo ndipo tiyeneranso kuphunzira kukhala ndi moyo wopanda uchimo ndi Iye komanso kudzera mwa Iye. Piritsili linali lalikulu kwambiri moti “Akhristu” ambiri sakanatha kulimeza, ndipo masiku anonso kwa “Adventist” ambiri. Iwo amakonda mkaka ndi chotupitsa cha Anikolai, zoperekedwa lerolino ndi matchalitchi onse “Achikristu,” chifukwa nzosavuta kumeza.

Pakufufuza kwanga pamitu imeneyi, ndinapeza gulu losangalatsa. Amadzifotokoza okha ngati "Adventist a mbiri yakale". Ndapeza nkhani yabwino kwambiri pamasamba awo, omwe ndibwerezeranso pano mokwanira chifukwa ikunena ndendende zomwe ndapezanso pakufufuza kwanga. Pa Masitepe a Moyo timawerenga kuti:

Alfa ndi Omega - Mavuto Awiri mu Adventism

Ngati tikufuna kukwera mbali yomaliza ya njira yopita kumwamba, tiyenera kuphunzira kuchokera ku mbiri yakale. Izi sizowona kokha ku mbali ya mbiri yakale yolembedwa m’Baibulo (onani 1 Akorinto 10:11) ndi Mkangano Waukuru (onani Mawu Oyamba a bukhu limenelo), koma makamaka ponena za mbiri ya Adventism. Munali mu nkhaniyi pamene Ellen G. White analankhula za Alfa ndi Omega wampatuko. Adalemba kuti, "Tsopano tili ndi alpha ya ngoziyi. Omega adzakhala wodabwitsa kwambiri. " Mauthenga Osankhidwa, vol.1, 197.

Monga tiwona, m'mawu otsatirawa, chikhalidwe chodabwitsa kwambiri champatuko wa omega ndi kukula kwa zovutazo. Ngakhale kuti alpha ya mpatuko imayimira chiyambi ndipo imayenera kuperekedwa kudera linalake, omega yampatuko ikanakula mpaka kumapeto.

“Chinthu chimodzi n’chotsimikizirika kuti chidzakwaniritsidwa posachedwapa, ndicho mpatuko waukulu, umene ukukula ndi kukula ndiponso kukula mwamphamvu, ndipo udzapitirizabe kutero mpaka Ambuye adzatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi mfuu. New York Indicator, February 7, 1906.

Zindikirani: Choncho, mpatukowo udzapitirira mpaka Ambuye mwini atalowererapo ndi kutsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi “mfuu”! Izi ndithudi si kulira mokweza, koma chinachake chimene chimabwera patsogolo pake. Zikumveka ngati kuti tsopano zinali choncho ndi Orion, popeza ndi MAWU A MULUNGU amene amatiitana kuchokera kumeneko kuti tidzuke ndi kuyeretsa mpingo wathu.

Ngati tikufuna kudziwa njira yomwe iyenera kutsatiridwa m'masiku ampatuko wa omega tiyenera kumvera uphungu ndi malangizo operekedwa ndi Ellen G. White panthawi ya zovuta za alpha. Tiyenera kuphunzira kuchokera m’mbiri kuti tisabwerezenso zolakwa zakale. "Zikufotokozedwa kwa ine kuti muzochitika zathu takhalapo ndipo tikukumana ndi momwe zinthu zilili." Zilembo za Battle Creek, 124.

Muvuto la alpha timapeza kufotokozera za tsogolo (kapena zomwe zilipo kale) ndi zochitika za anthu a Adventist. Ellen G. White akutiuza kuti: “Mbiri yakale idzabwerezedwanso; mikangano yakale idzadzutsa moyo watsopano, ndipo ngozi idzagwera anthu a Mulungu kumbali zonse.” Umboni kwa Atumiki, 116. “Sitingaope zam’tsogolo kupatula ngati tidzaiwala njira imene Yehova watitsogolera. Umboni kwa Atumiki, 31.

Kodi Alpha Anayamba Bwanji?

Pakati pavuto la alpha panali munthu mmodzi, John Harvey Kellogg, dokotala wa Adventist. Pansi pa utsogoleri wake, Battle Creek Sanitarium idalandira kutchuka padziko lonse lapansi kumayambiriro kwa zaka zana. Koma chakumapeto kwa zaka za m’ma 1890, changu chake ndi nyonga zake zinali zosanganikirana mowonjezereka ndi lingaliro latsopano—lakuti Mulungu, osakhala munthu, anali m’zamoyo zonse; m’maluwa onse, m’mtengo uliwonse, m’gawo lililonse la mkate. Zomwe Kellogg ankakhulupirira kuti ndi "kuwala kwatsopano" zinakakamiza mneneri wa Mulungu, ngakhale isanafike 1881, kuti amupatse uthenga wochenjeza. “Zikhulupiriro zimenezo ndi zolakwika. Ndinakumana nawo kale.” Manuscript Releases, vol. 5, 278, 279.

Popeza anakwatiwa ndi M’batizi wa Seventh Day, Kellogg anakumana ndi mtumiki wa Seventh Day Baptist dzina lake Lewis. Munthu uyu nayenso anali ndi malingaliro opembedza. M'malingaliro a Kellogg malingaliro achipembedzo adakula, kotero kuti, mu 1897, adalankhula za nkhaniyi poyera kwa nthawi yoyamba. Ena monga Wagoner ndi Kress anafika ku chikhutiro chomwecho nagwirizana naye m’kulalikira izi pa Msonkhano Waukulu, wa 1899, ku South Lancaster, Massachusetts. Patangotha ​​mwezi umodzi msonkhanowu usanachitike, Ellen G. White analemba ndi kutumiza makalata ochenjeza ochokera ku Australia, amene anafika pa nthawi yake. Koma n’zomvetsa chisoni kuti machenjezo amenewa sanawamvere. Malingaliro achikunja anapitiriza kufalikira padziko lonse lapansi. Anaphunzitsidwa, ku Battle Creek, ku Koleji ndi Sanitarium. Ellen G. White anayenera kutumiza chenjezo pambuyo pochenjeza. Pa February 18, 1902, Battle Creek Sanitarium inawotchedwa. Kuti apeze ndalama zothandizira sanitarium yatsopano, Kellogg anafunsidwa kuti alembe bukhu, zomwe zinayenera kutengedwa kuti apite ku nyumba yatsopano ya sanitarium. Buku limene Kellogg analemba linali lamutu wakuti “The Living Temple.” Mipukutu yomalizidwayo inali yodzala ndi malingaliro ake olakwika amene chiyambi chake chinachokera ku zikhulupiriro zauzimu, zachikunja. Nkhani zambiri zinatsatira.

Ellen G. White analemba za bukuli. “M’bukhu lakuti ‘Living Temple’ muli ma alpha a mipatuko yakupha. Omega adzatsatira, ndipo adzalandiridwa ndi iwo amene sakufuna kumvera chenjezo limene Mulungu wapereka.” Selected Messages, vol. 1, 200.

Ngakhale kuti mneneri wa Mulungu anam’dzudzula, Kellogg anali wotsimikiza mtima kusindikiza buku lake monga mmene analilembera. Chotero iye anapereka oda yosindikiza ku Review and Herald Publishing Company, imene iwo anavomereza. Koma Mulungu Mwiniwake anasokoneza. Njira zosindikizira zitatha ndipo bukulo litatsala pang’ono kusindikizidwa, nyumba yosindikizira mabuku, pa December 31, 1902, inapsa ndi moto n’kupserera. Izi sizinachitike modzidzimutsa, koma mneneri wa Yehova anatchulapo zaka zoposa chaka chimodzi m’mbuyomo. (Onani Testimonies, vol. 8, 91.) Lupanga la moto linali litagwa ndipo onse anadziwa kuti Mulungu walankhula. Ngakhale zinali choncho, Kellogg sanakonzekere kusintha maganizo ake, ndipo mouma khosi anapita ku nyumba ina yosindikizira mabuku kuti akasindikize buku lake. Kenako anayesetsa kuonetsetsa kuti bukhu lake lifalitsidwe mofala pakati pa Adventist ndi omwe sanali a Adventist. Chotero namsongole wopembedza Mulungu anakula ndi kukhala chowopsa pa ntchito yonseyo. Ellen G. White anafotokoza mwachidule mkhalidwewo ndi mawu awa: “Battle Creek yakhala malo a chipanduko pakati pa anthu amene Yehova wawapatsa kuunika kwakukulu ndi mwaŵi wapadera. Paulson Collection, wazaka 71.

Kodi Omega ndi chiyani?

Pankhani ya vuto la alpha, Ellen G. White akufotokoza masomphenya ampatuko wa omega womwe ukubwera posachedwa pakati pa Adventist. “Mdani wa miyoyo akufuna kubweretsa lingaliro lakuti kukonzanso kwakukulu kudzachitika pakati pa Seventh-day Adventist, ndipo kuti. kukonzanso uku kungaphatikizepo kusiya ziphunzitso zomwe zikuyima ngati mizati ya chikhulupiriro chathu, ndikuchita nawo njira yokonzanso. Kodi kukonzanso kumeneku kukanachitika, zotsatira zake zinali zotani? Mfundo za choonadi zimene Mulungu mu nzeru zake anapereka ku mpingo wotsalira, zikanatayidwa. Chipembedzo chathu chikanasinthidwa. Mfundo zazikuluzikulu zomwe zathandizira ntchitoyi kwa zaka makumi asanu zapitazi zitha kuwerengedwa ngati zolakwika. Bungwe latsopano likanakhazikitsidwa. Mabuku a dongosolo latsopano akanalembedwa. Dongosolo la filosofi yaluntha likanayambitsidwa. Oyambitsa dongosolo ili amapita kumizinda, ndikuchita ntchito yodabwitsa. Sabata ndithudi, likanawonedwa mopepuka, monganso Mulungu amene analilenga ilo. Palibe chomwe chingaloledwe kulepheretsa gulu latsopanoli. Atsogoleriwo akaphunzitsa kuti khalidwe labwino n’labwino kuposa kuipa, koma Mulungu atachotsedwa, adzadalira mphamvu za anthu, zimene popanda Mulungu n’zachabechabe. Maziko awo akanamangidwa pamchenga, ndipo mphepo yamkuntho ndi mphepo yamkuntho idzawononga nyumbayo.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, vol. 1, 204, 205.

Kukonzanso kosonkhezeredwa ndi mdyerekezi kunali kudzachitika, ndipo kukanaphatikizapo “kusiya chiphunzitso chimene chili ngati mizati ya chikhulupiriro chathu.”

Kodi mizati ya chikhulupiriro chathu cha Adventist ndi chiyani?

Iwo ali motere:

• Chikhalidwe cha Khristu
• Utumiki wopatulika
• Mzimu wa uneneri
• Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu (kuvumbulutsa upapa, Babulo, ecumenism, kufotokoza funso la Sabata-Lamlungu, kukweza lamulo la Mulungu, ndi zina zotero)
• Mkhalidwe wa akufa ndi kuwonekera kwa zamizimu

Kodi N'chiyani Chinachitikira Mizati ya Chikhulupiriro Chathu?

M’zaka za m’ma 1950 gulu linayamba limene linali kudzabweretsa zotsatirapo zake zazikulu ku mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist. Khama lililonse lothekera linatengedwa ndi amuna otsogola mu General Conference kuti Adventist asatchedwe “mpatuko” ndi akhristu achievangeliko. Nkhaniyo inafika pachimake pamene Donald Gray Barnhouse, mkonzi wa magazini ya “Eternity,” ndi Walter R. Martin, katswiri wa zaumulungu wa evangelical, anafuna kulemba bukhu lonena za a Seventh-day Adventist akumalengeza kuti iwo anali “mpatuko” wosakhala Wachikristu. Pachifukwachi iwo anakumana ndi atsogoleri a Adventist kukambitsirana ziphunzitso za Adventism, zomwe Barnhouse ndi Martin anakhutitsidwa nazo Adventist kuti Adventist adzawululidwa ngati gulu losakhala lachikristu. Mutu waukulu unali utumiki wotetezera womaliza wa Yesu, m’chipinda chachiwiri cha kachisi, pa nthawi ya chiweruzo pamene adzafafaniza machimo a olapa moona. Nkhani ina inali chikhalidwe cha Khristu. Pamene atsogoleri a Adventist anayang’anizana ndi mawu ogwidwa m’mabuku athu, mwamsanga anazindikira kuti zilengezo zawo sizikanakhala zokwanira kukhutiritsa Barnhouse ndi Martin kuti Tchalitchi cha SDA sichinali kagulu kampatuko, koma mpingo Wachikristu. Choncho anaganiza zofalitsa buku latsopano la ziphunzitso za Adventist. Buku limenelo linali Questions on Doctrine (1957), ndipo linali chiyambi cha kuyesetsa kuchotsa mizati ya chikhulupiriro chathu.

Pafupi mzati woyamba, mkhalidwe wa Kristu, iwo analemba kuti: “Iye anali wopanda uchimo, osati m’mayendedwe Ake akunja okha, koma m’makhalidwe Ake. ... Iye anali wopanda uchimo mu moyo Wake ndi mu chikhalidwe Chake. . .” Mafunso pa Chiphunzitso, 383

Monga anthu a nthawi yotsiriza ya Mulungu amene akudziyeretsa kukhala oyera mu makhalidwe monga Yesu analiri pa moyo wake wapadziko lapansi (1 Yohane 3:3), ndi zofunika zopulumutsa kukhulupilira kuti Yesu atha kukhalabe wopanda uchimo ndi thupi (lauchimo) lomwe tili nalo. Kodi mpulumutsi amene amavumbula kuti thupi losachimwa lingathe kukana uchimo ndi ntchito yotani? Tikufuna Mpulumutsi amene amationetsa kuti n’zotheka kukhala ndi moyo wangwiro ( Ahebri 2:14, 17 ), mu uchimo. Ndipo ndi zimene Yesu anachita. Anatisiyira chitsanzo chakuti munthu wochimwa samachimwa pamene chifuniro chake chaperekedwa kotheratu kwa Mulungu. Paulo akutiuza za “Mulungu anatumiza Mwana wake wa iye yekha m’chifanizo cha thupi lauchimo . . . " Aroma 8: 3. Iye amene sachitira umboni izi, amavumbula mzimu wa Wokana Kristu. ( 1 Yohane 4: 2, 3 .

A mzati wachiwiri umene unachotsedwa ndiwo Mzimu wa Uneneri. Barnhouse analemba m’nkhani yake yakuti “Kodi ma SDA ndi Akhristu?” zomwe adauzidwa ndi atsogoleri a Adventist za mphatso yauneneri ya Ellen G. White.

“Utsogoleri wa Adventist umalengeza kuti zolembedwa za Ellen G. White . . . sizili zofanana ndi malembo. . . . Iwo amavomereza kuti zolemba zake si zosalakwa. . . Zolemba zake mwamwayi sizoyesa kuyanjana mu mpingo wa SDA.”

Ellen G. White anasonyezedwa kuti: “Chinyengo chotsiriza cha Satana chidzakhala kufooketsa umboni wa Mzimu wa Mulungu. Mauthenga Osankhidwa, vol. 1, 48. Tikuwona kuti vuto lomaliza—Omega—layamba kale.

A mzati wachitatu chimene chachotsedwa ndicho chiphunzitso chopatulika. Barnhouse analemba kuti: “Bambo. Martin ndi ine tinamva atsogoleri a Adventist akunena, mosabisa, kuti amakana kunyanyira konse koteroko [chimenecho ndi chiphunzitso chakuti Yesu anapita ku malo opatulika koposa pa October 22, 1844, kudzapanga chitetezero Kudza Kwake Kwachiwiri Kusanachitike]. Izi anena mosatsimikizika.”

Kukanidwa kwa chiphunzitso chofunika chimenechi kwatsimikiziridwa m’buku lakuti Questions on Doctrine. Patsamba 381 limati: “Yesu . . . analowa ‘m’malo opatulika,’ ndipo anaonekera pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha ife. Koma sizinali ndi chiyembekezo choti atipezerepo kanthu panthaŵiyo, kapena panthaŵi ina yamtsogolo. Ayi! Iye anali atatitengera kale ilo pa mtanda.” (Onaninso tsamba 354, 355)

Ngati Yesu anamaliza nsembe yochotsera machimo pamtanda, funso n’lakuti, kodi nchiyani chimene Yesu akuchita kumwamba tsopano chimene chingakhale chofunika kwambiri? Ngati zonse zidachitika pa mtanda, ndiye kuti palibe chitetezero chotsekera, palibe chiweruzo chofufuza komanso kuchotsedwa kwa uchimo. Zotsatira za chiphunzitso chaumulungu chotero ndi lingaliro lakuti sitingakhale angwiro. Ndipo ngati palibe amene angathe kugonjetsa uchimo wonse, n’chifukwa chiyani kusunga malamulo kuyenera kukhala kofunika kwambiri? Kodi ndiye sizingakhale zophweka kupulumutsidwa monga wosunga Lamlungu monga wosunga Sabata? Komanso Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu makamaka amayenera kukhala ndi uthenga woti Yesu wakuchitirani chilichonse. N'zosavuta kuona kuti apa pali chifukwa cha zolakwa zambiri ndi machimo mu Adventist Church.

Kodi zolakwika zomwe zafotokozedwa mu Questions on Doctrine zimakhulupirirabe ndi Adventism ambiri masiku ano? Walter Martin akupereka yankho la funso limeneli m’buku lake lakuti The Kingdom of the Cults. “Pa April 29, 1983, W. Richard Lesher, wachiŵiri kwa pulezidenti wa General Conference, anayankha m’kalata yaumwini. Yankho lake linati: 'Mumafunsa choyamba ngati a Seventh-day Adventist akadali kumbuyo kwa mayankho operekedwa ku mafunso anu mu Questions on Doctrine monga momwe anachitira mu 1957. Yankho ndilo inde.' “Pachifukwachi tikupeza m’mabuku apambuyo pake, monga 27 Fundamental Doctrines of SDA’s, ziphunzitso zonyenga zomwezo zikuperekedwa.

M’maseminale a atumiki a ku Germany, ziphunzitso zimene zimatipanga kukhala a Seventh-day Adventist zimakanidwa popanda manyazi. Mlangizi wina anati: “Ndimakhulupirira kuti mu 1844 palibe chimene chinachitika, kumwamba kapena padziko lapansi.” U. Worschech wa Marienhoehe’s Ministerial Seminary, monga anakopera m’kalasi yake ya “Utumiki Wopatulika.”

Panthaŵi ina mlangizi yemweyo anati, “Tiyenera kupanga Ford-kukulitsa chiphunzitso chathu chaumulungu pa malo opatulika.” U. Worschech pamwambo wa ulendo wa Desmond Ford pa msonkhano wa AWA, October 24-26, 1986.

Kumeneko ndiko kukwaniritsidwa kwenikweni kwa maulosi a Ellen G. White okhudza vuto la omega ndipo akulongosola mowona mkhalidwe wamakono: “Maziko a chikhulupiriro chathu, amene anakhazikitsidwa ndi pemphero lochuluka, kufufuza mwakhama kwa m’Malemba, anali kugwetsedwa, mzati ndi mzati. Chikhulupiriro chathu sichinali choti tikhazikikepo—malo opatulika anali atapita, chitetezero chinali chitapita.” Kuyang'ana Kumwamba, 152.

Mauthenga a Omega ndi Angelo Atatu

Ngati chitetezero chochitidwa m’malo opatulika koposa chidzachotsedwa, maziko onse a Mauthenga Aangelo Atatu ayenera kugwa, chifukwa angelo ameneŵa akuloza mwachindunji ku ntchito ya Yesu ya chiombolo m’malo opatulika koposa. (Onani Early Writings, 256.) Ellen G. White anati: “Ndinasonyezedwa masitepe atatu—Uthenga Woyamba, Wachiŵiri, ndi Wachitatu wa Angelo. Anati mngelo amene ndinali naye, 'Tsoka kwa iye amene angasunthire chipika cha mauthengawa. Kumvetsetsa kowona kwa mauthengawa n'kofunika kwambiri. Chiyembekezo cha miyoyo chimakhazikika pa momwe iwo amalandirira.’ Ine ndinatsitsidwanso kupyolera mu mauthenga awa, ndipo ndinawona mmene anthu a Mulungu anagulira mokondwera zochitika zawo. Unali utapezedwa chifukwa cha kuvutika kochuluka ndi mikangano yoopsa. Mulungu anali atawatsogolera iwo sitepe ndi sitepe, mpaka Iye atawayika iwo pa nsanja yolimba, yosasunthika. Ndinaona anthu akuyandikira pulatifomu ndikuyang'ana maziko. Ena mokondwera anapondapo nthaŵi yomweyo. Ena anayamba kutsutsa mazikowo. Ankalakalaka kuti zinthu ziwayendere bwino, ndiyeno nsanjayo ikanakhala yabwino kwambiri, ndipo anthu akusangalala kwambiri. Ena anatsika papulatifomu kuti aione ndipo ananena kuti inalakwiridwa. Koma ndinaona kuti pafupifupi onse anaima nji pa nsanja ndi kulimbikitsa amene anatsikapo kuti asiye kudandaula; pakuti Mulungu ndiye Mmisiri Waluso, ndipo adalimbana naye. Zolemba Zoyambirira 258, 259.

Pamene tipita kukachita ntchito yaumishonale ndi kugaŵira timapepala tokhala ndi Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu, kodi ndi kangati pamene timamva anthu odzitcha a Seventh-day Adventist akunena motere? “Sintchito yabwino yaumishonale kuika chilombo, chizindikiro chake ndi fano lake patsogolo. Si njira yoyenera basi. Ndizovuta kwambiri. Ngakhale kuti amanena kuti amangokana fomu kapena njirayo, n’zoonekeratu kuti amaopa kuti uthenga wathu ukhoza kudziwitsidwa kwa anthu. Kuwululidwa poyera kwa upapa monga hule ndi matchalitchi odzitcha Achiprotestanti ngati ana aakazi a uhule, kumawapangitsa iwo kukhala osamasuka, kuwopa kuti mipingo imeneyi ingatsutse Adventist monga gulu lampatuko. Amawopa kuti chotulukapo chingakhale kudzutsa chitsutso ndi kuchepetsa kuvomereza ndi chisonkhezero cha Adventism, ndipo akuwopa kuti potsirizira pake chingadzetse chizunzo. Anthu amayamba kupeza zolakwika ndi nsanja, kudandaula za izo ndipo amafuna kuti pakhale kusintha. (Onani Zolemba Zoyambirira, 258.) Iwo amanena, mwina osati molunjika m’mawu awo, koma ndi zochita zawo, kuti mazikowo anamangidwa molakwika. Izi sizongomva za anthu ochepa chabe a Adventist, koma iyi ndi ndondomeko yomwe ikulowa mu SDA-bungwe lonse, monga momwe tingawonetsere chitsanzo chotsatirachi.

Pulezidenti wakale wa General Conference, Neal Wilson, ananena mu Pacific Union Recorder kuti: “Ntchito yathu si kudzudzula Tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika.” February 18, 1985. Izo zikumveka zabwino, koma kodi iye akutanthauza chiyani kwenikweni? Pa mlandu wa khoti la anthu, Wilson anati:Ngakhale kuti zinali zowona kuti panali nyengo, m’moyo wa Tchalitchi cha Seventh-day Adventist, pamene chipembedzocho chinakhala ndi malingaliro otsutsana ndi Aroma Katolika, ndipo liwu lakuti ‘ulamuliro’ linagwiritsiridwa ntchito m’lingaliro loipitsitsa ponena za ulamuliro waupapa wa ulamuliro wa tchalitchi, mkhalidwe umenewo pa mbali ya tchalitchi unali chabe chisonyezero cha kufalikira kwa maganizo ofala pakati pa odana ndi apapa m’zaka za zana lino. gawo lotsiriza la otsiriza, ndipo lomwe tsopano latumizidwa ku mulu wa zinyalala za mbiriyakale monga momwe mpingo wa SDA ulili.” EEOC vs PPPA ndi GC, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, 1975.

Kodi zingatheke bwanji kuti mtsogoleri wa chipembedzo chimene anaitanidwa ndi Mulungu kuti achenjeze zoyesayesa za upapa, “akapereka” uthengawo “ku mulu wa zinyalala za mbiri yakale”? Kodi angakane bwanji chidaliro chopatulika cha Mulungu motsimikiza chonchi? Neal Wilson amayenera kuchitira umboni za chikhulupiriro chake m'khothi nthawi yamtendere, koma adapereka. Chodabwitsa n’chakuti, mwachionekere, mawu ameneŵa sanali kukwiyitsa anthu ambiri. Munthu amakhala ndi malingaliro ochulukirapo akuti pulezidenti adangopanga lingaliro lovomerezeka pakati pa Seventh-day Adventist. Ellen G. White akulongosola mkhalidwe umenewu motere: “Lingaliro likukulirakulira, kuti, pambuyo pa zonse, sitisiyana kwambiri pa mfundo zofunika monga momwe zimaganiziridwa, ndi kuti kulolera pang'ono kumbali yathu kudzatibweretsa ife kumvetsetsa bwino ndi Roma. Nthaŵiyo inali pamene Apulotesitanti ankaona kuti ufulu wa chikumbumtima umene wagulidwa kwambiri ndi wofunika kwambiri. Iwo anaphunzitsa ana awo kunyansidwa ndi upapa, ndipo ankakhulupirira kuti kuchita zinthu mogwirizana ndi Aroma kukakhala kusakhulupirika kwa Mulungu. Koma maganizo amene alongosoledwa tsopano akusiyana mokulira chotani nanga.” The Great Controversy, 563.

Ngati panopa, m’nthaŵi zamtendere, tikukana chikhulupiriro chathu poyera, kodi nchiyani chimene chidzachitike m’tsogolo pamene malamulo adzaperekedwa motsutsana ndi anthu osunga malamulo a Mulungu? “Ngati unathamanga ndi oyenda pansi, ndipo anakutopetsa iwe, ndiye iwe ungakhoze bwanji kulimbana ndi akavalo? ndipo ngati m’dziko lamtendere, limene munalikhulupirira, [anakutopetsani], mudzachita bwanji m’mabwinja a Yordano? Yeremiya 12:5 .

Babeloni, Gulu la Ecumenical ndi Mauthenga Aangelo Atatu

Pakati pa Adventist, kumvetsetsa bwino kwa mawu akuti “Babulo” kukucheperachepera ndipo kukuyambitsa chisokonezo. Mtsogoleri wa msonkhano anandiuza zaka zapitazo kuti “Babulo ali mwa ife.” Funso langa, loti zikanatheka bwanji pansi pazimenezi kutsatira kuitana kuti achoke ku Babulo, linakhalabe lopanda yankho. Tanthauzo lina, lochokera m’zofalitsa za Adventist, nlakuti Babulo ali “choipa cha mudzi wanga,” “chisonkhezero choipa” ndi “kuyesa kupeza chipulumutso mwa ntchito za iye mwini.” Adventist Review, December 31, 1992; Signs of the Times, June 1992; Adventist Review, December 31, 1992.

Kuno ku Germany, “Babulo” ndi nkhani yofala kwambiri. Chifukwa cha ichi ndi umembala wa onse a Adventist German migwirizano mu ACK (confederacy of Christian Churches), bungwe la dziko lonse ecumenical Council. Umembala uwu unabweretsedwa mwachinsinsi, ndipo anthu adadziwitsidwa pambuyo pake. Zokambirana zinali zoletsedwa.

Zindikirani: Kodi munazindikira kuti pempho la umembala mu ACK linapangidwa mu 1986, chomwe chiri chaka cha Orion, chomwe chimasonyeza chiyambi cha gawo la Tiyatira? Ndipo Tiyatira amatanthauza: Pangano ndi Yezebeli, Tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika, kapena Babulo. Ndi mgwirizano wotani nanga umene ulipo pakati pa awo amene amaŵerenga mbiri yakale ndi maulosi ndi kutsegula maso awo! Kodi ndi liti pamene oŵerengeka okhulupirika ameneŵa adzazindikiranso kuti Orion—buku lakumwamba la Mulungu—100% limatsimikizira zochitika zowopsya zonsezi, ndi kusonkhana pamodzi kupanga mpingo wotsiriza wa Filadelfeya?

Kudziphimba okha, utsogoleri wa Adventist, kuno ku Germany, wayesera kusonyeza kuti tanthauzo lathu lakale la "Babulo" silingakhale loona. R. Nickel, mtumiki wamkulu, adanena izi za umembala wa Adventist ku ACK, mu ulaliki wa Adventist theological seminary ya Friedensau. “M’mafotokozedwe omveka bwino a chipembedzo chathu “Babulo” amatanthauza izi: mayi hule wa Chivumbulutso kapena Tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika. Ana ake aakazi oipitsidwa ndi mabungwe akugwa Achiprotestanti a mipingo yosiyana ya chikhulupiriro cha Chiprotestanti. . . . Funso nlakuti, Kodi chimene kale chinali chowonadi chowona ndi chamakono chidakali chowona? Ndikufuna kubwereranso ku zokambirana za ACK, chifukwa apa zikhoza kuwonetsedwa: Ngati mipingo ya Chiprotestanti ilidi gawo la Babeloni, zingatheke bwanji kuti munthu agwirizane nawo ndikukhala membala wa ACK? Ngati tingatenge kutanthauzira kwachikale mozama, tonsefe tiyenera kutsutsana ndi ACK.” R. Nickel mu ulaliki umene unachitikira ku Friedensau pa November 2, 1996.

Ndizowona kuti (pafupifupi) atumiki onse ndi atsogoleri akukomera umembala wa ACK. Choncho mfundo yomveka ndi yakuti sitingathe kugwiritsitsa kutanthauzira kwa mbiri yakale kwa "Babulo" ndipo panthawi imodzimodziyo kukhala membala mu mgwirizano wa ecumenical. (Onani Luka 16:13; 2 Akorinto 6:14.) Zomwe zili mu Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu zimatsutsana mwachindunji ndi kayendetsedwe ka matchalitchi, chifukwa tachenjezedwa mosapita m’mbali za fano la chilombo. Kulengeza uthenga umenewu n’kosemphana ndi malamulo a mipingo, chifukwa palibe mpingo umene umaloledwa kutembenuza anthu a mipingo ina. Nanga n’zotheka bwanji kulengeza kuti, “Tulukani mmenemo, anthu anga! ngati wina ali membala wa mgwirizano umenewo? Pa chinthu chimodzi chomwe tingatsimikizidwe: ngakhale Akatolika kapena Aprotestanti sanavomereze Adventist ngati membala wa ecumenical ACK popanda chitsimikiziro chochokera kwa iwo kuti kumvetsetsa kwa mbiri ya Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu kunakanidwa. Ndipo n’zimene zinachitikadi.

Pamsonkhano wa ACK, kumene chivomerezo chinaperekedwa kuti avomereze Mpingo wa SDA monga membala, oimira Adventist anafunsidwa mwachindunji ngati kutanthauzira kwa mbiriyakale kwa Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu kukadali koyenera. Zolemba za protocol za msonkhano wa ACK, pa June 3 ndi 4, 1992, ku Arnoldshain zimapereka lipoti ili. “Popemphedwa ndi woimira tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika, Dr. HJ Urban, anafunsidwa mosapita m’mbali, ngati kumasulira kwamwambo kwa Adventist a pa Chivumbulutso 13, kutsimikizira kuti chilombocho ndi upapa, umene unali wofanana ndi Wokana Kristu, udakali woona. Yankho la funso limenelo linali lakuti iyi inali nkhani ya mwambo umene unayambira m’nthawi ya Kukonzanso ndipo mosakayikira ukadalipobe, koma kuti mbali yaikulu iwo anachiritsidwa pozindikiritsa udindo wa papa ndi Wokana Kristu. M'malo mwake zimaganiziridwa kuti Wokana Kristu ndi mawonekedwe, omwe mwina amapezekanso muchipembedzo cha Adventist. Chifukwa chake kutsutsa kwamwambo kwa Chibvumbulutso 13 kungathenso kulunjika ku mpingo wa Seventh-Day-Adventist. Kufotokozera kumeneku kunakhutiritsa mbali ya Akatolika. Pambuyo pake, utsogoleri wa ACK udaganiza zovomereza kugwiritsa ntchito kwa Adventist movomerezeka kwa mamembala ogwirizana kuti avotere. " 54 Fragen, Chikalata 3, 3.

Purezidenti wa Northern Germany Union, Bambo Rupp, nayenso anakana uthenga wathu woperekedwa ndi Mulungu m’makalata ake kwa pulezidenti wa ACK, Bishopu Held, ndi m’kulankhulana kwake kwaumwini ndi iye. Babulo anazindikiritsidwa kokha ngati chikhalidwe cha zinthu zomwe zikanapezekanso mu mpingo wa SDA. Bishopu Held mwachiwonekere anamasulira malingaliro a m’makalata a pulezidenti wa mgwirizanowu kukhala osati kulakwa, monga momwe tingawonere mu yankho lake:

"Wokondedwa Bambo Rupp. . . . Pamwamba pa malingalirowo akutsimikiziridwa momvekera bwino kuti inu—monga mukulankhula za utsogoleri wa Tchalitchi cha SDA—munatiuza kuti a SDA sakhulupiriranso kuti ‘m’chitukuko chambiri cha mphamvu yachipembedzo ndi ndale yaupapa kumawonedwa kukwaniritsidwa kwa maulosi a Baibulo. ( Danieli 7, Chivumbulutso 13 ndi 17 )’ “ Document 1.

K. Schwarz, mkulu waudindo wa Tchalitchi cha Chiprotestanti ku Germany analemba kuti: “Pokhala membala wa alendo a Seventh-day Adventist Church mu ACK, zimamveka kuti . . . mikangano imene munatchulapo [chikhulupiriro cha Adventist chakuti papa ndi wokana Kristu] . . . kulibenso monga mbali ya ziphunzitso za SDA.” (Ku Kobialka, M. 1994. Ecumenical Movement and World Government, 100.)

Atsogoleri a Tchalitchi cha SDA akhala akunena kuti kugwirizana ndi gulu la matchalitchi ndi nthawi yabwino yochitira umboni za chikhulupiriro chathu. Iwo amanena kuti mwanjira imeneyo Uthenga wa Advent ukhoza kuperekedwa mogwira mtima kwambiri ku mipingo ina. Kumeneku kunali kunyodola ndi chinyengo chotani nanga! Umembala mu gulu la ecumenical ndi kusakhulupirika kwa uthenga wathu ndipo zikutanthauza kumupachika Khristu mwatsopano. (“Ndinaona kuti monga Ayuda anapachika Yesu, momwemonso mipingo mwadzina yapachika mauthenga awa.” Early Writings, p. 261.)

Pali malangizo ambiri ouziridwa okhudza maubwenzi ndi osakhulupirira kapena okhulupirira a chikhulupiriro chosiyana. Ndikungofuna kuti ndikulozereni ku mawu awiri ochokera ku cholembera cha Ellen G. White:

"Oipa amangidwa m’mitolo, kumangidwa m’maubale, m’maukwati, m’mapangano. Tiyeni tisakhale ndi chochita ndi mabungwe awa. Mulungu ndiye Wolamulira wathu, Kazembe wathu, ndipo amatiitana kuti tituluke m’dziko ndi kulekana.” Manuscript Releases, vol. 4, 87 .

"Lolani alonda pa makoma a Ziyoni asagwirizane ndi iwo amene akupangitsa chowonadi kukhala chopanda pake monga chili mwa Khristu. Asalowe nawo m’chigwirizano cha kusakhulupirika, upapa, ndi Chiprotestanti.” Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, voliyumu 4, 1141.

Tiyenera kuzindikira kuti ACK ndi chiyani komanso momwe papa amaonera gulu la matchalitchi. Pochezera Germany, Papa John Paul II analengeza ku Paderborn pa June 22, 1996 kuti: “Mgwirizano wabwino wa matchalitchi wapangidwa ku mipingo m'dziko lino. Amagwira ntchito limodzi ndi makomiti a ecumenical, makamaka mu 'Alliance of Christian Churches in Germany' (ACK). Mwakutero, malingaliro ena othandiza pakupanga gulu la mipingo anafika ku Germany. . . . Umodzi womwe tikufuna uyenera kukula pang'onopang'ono. . . . Choncho, ndi udindo wathu kuchepetsa zotchinga ndi kufunafuna kuchuluka kwa mgonero, tikudalira kwambiri kuti Ambuye adzatitsogolera ku tsiku laulemerero limenelo pamene umodzi wa chikhulupiriro udzakwaniritsidwa ndipo timatha kukondwerera mogwirizana Ukaristia woyera wa Ambuye pamodzi.” Verlautbarungen des Apostolischen Stuhls, 126, Bonn 6/1996, 22ff.

Kodi Adventist akuyang'ana chiyani mu ACK? Kodi akufuna kukondwerera Ukaristia pamodzi ndi Akatolika?

Omega ali kale pano. Ambuye atithandize kuziwona ndi kuchita molingana.

Chofunika ndichani?

Kodi tiyenera kuchitapo chiyani pa nkhani imeneyi? Adventist ambiri asokonezeka ndipo sakudziwa choti achite. Zikuoneka ngati kuti palibe amene ankayembekezera kukula kwa mpatuko, ngakhale kuti Mlongo White analemba kuti: “Omega idzakhala yodabwitsa kwambiri.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 197. Monga Adventist tamva za mayesero omwe akubwera posachedwa ndipo tinalankhula za izo tokha, koma tsopano alipo ndipo ndi ochepa okha omwe akuzindikira.

Funso la momwe tingachitire ndi vuto la Omega likuyankhidwa momveka bwino m'malemba ouziridwa okhudza vuto la Alpha. Muvuto la Omega mfundo zomwezo ziyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito, pakuti mbiri ikudzibwereza yokha. Kodi Ellen G. White anapereka malangizo otani pa nthawi ya vuto la Alpha? Chitsanzo chimodzi ndi ichi: “Mkulu ndi Mayi Farnsworth anapemphedwa kuti akakhale ku Battle Creek kwa nthawi ndithu, kukagwira ntchito ya tchalitchi. Ndikuwalimbikitsa kutero, ndikuwalangiza momwe angagwiritsire ntchito. Zidzakhala bwino kwa Mkulu Farnsworth ndi Mkulu AT Jones kuima phewa ndi phewa akulalikira Mawu mu chihema kwa kanthawi, ndi kupereka lipenga liwu linalake. Ku Battle Creek kuli mizimu yomwe ikufunika kulimba mtima. Ambiri adzasangalala kumva ndi kusiyanitsa cholembedwa cha chenjezo. Koma Mkulu Farnsworth sayenera kukhala ku Battle Creek nthawi yayitali. Ndalemba izi kwa inu, chifukwa kuyenera kuzindikirika. Mulungu akadakhala ndi amuna aluso omwe sangapatuke ku mfundo zachilungamo kuti ayime poteteza chowonadi mu chihema pa Battle Creek. Mwamuna m'modzi sayenera kukhala ku Battle Creek kwa nthawi yayitali. Pambuyo pa kulengeza choonadi mokhulupirika kwa kanthaŵi, ayenera kuchoka kukagwira ntchito kwina, ndipo pasankhidwe munthu wina amene adzaimba lipenga. Paulson Collection, 108.

Muumboni uwu cholembera chouziridwa chimatipatsa kufotokoza kwenikweni za ntchito yathu mu zovuta za Alfa ndi Omega. Mbali ziwiri zikugogomezedwa momveka bwino. Kumbali ina timaitanidwa kuti tizipereka lipenga mawu akutichenjeza abale ndi alongo athu. Kumbali ina, tikuchenjezedwa kuti tisadzionetse tokha ku chisonkhezero cha mpatuko kwa nthaŵi yaitali.

Mbali yoyamba, kupatsa lipenga liwu lomveka, iyenera kukhala sitepe yathu yoyamba ngati tili mbali ya mpingo womwe wakhudzidwa ndi mpatuko. Mobwereza bwereza Ellen G. White adapempha kuti achitepo kanthu pa nthawi ya Alpha. Nawa mawu ena:

“Ndinasonyezedwa pulatifomu, yomangidwa ndi matabwa olimba—chowonadi cha Mawu a Mulungu. Winawake waudindo waukulu m’ntchito ya zamankhwala anali kutsogolera mwamuna uyu ndi mwamuna uyo kumasula matabwa ochirikiza nsanja imeneyi. Pamenepo ndinamva mawu akuti, ‘Ali kuti alonda amene ayenera kuima pa malinga a Ziyoni? Kodi akugona? Maziko awa adamangidwa ndi Mmisiri Waluso, ndipo adzayima namondwe ndi mphepo yamkuntho. Kodi adzalola munthu ameneyu kupereka ziphunzitso zomwe zimakana zochitika zakale za anthu a Mulungu? Yafika nthawi yoti tichitepo kanthu.' " Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 204.

“Nkhondo ili mkati. . . . Ali kuti alonda Ake? Kodi aima pamwamba pa nsanja yaitali, kupereka chizindikiro chowopsa, kapena akulola kuti ngoziyo ipitirire popanda kulabadira?” Ayi., 194.

“Kodi amuna m’mabungwe athu adzakhala chete, kulola kuti chinyengo chobisika chifalitsidwe ndi kuwononga miyoyo? . . . Kodi si nthawi yoti tidzifunse kuti, Kodi tidzalola mdaniyo kutitsogolera kuti tisiye ntchito yolengeza choonadi?” Ayi., 195.

Kuti atithandize kumvetsetsa kuopsa koopsa kwa ngozi yomwe tilimo, Mulungu anapatsa Ellen G. White masomphenya Madzi oundana.

“Usiku wina chochitika chinaonekera bwino lomwe pamaso panga. Chotengera chinali pamadzi, mu chifunga chambiri. Mwadzidzidzi mlondayo anafuula kuti, 'Iceberg ikubwera!' Kumeneko, pamwamba pa ngalawayo, panali phiri lalikulu la madzi oundana. Mau amphamvu anafuula kuti, 'Tikumane!' Panalibe kukayikira kwakanthawi. Inali nthawi yoti achitepo kanthu nthawi yomweyo. Wopanga injiniyo anawotcha nthunzi, ndipo munthu amene anali pa gudumuyo anawongolera sitimayo molunjika m’mphepete mwa madzi oundana. Ndi ngozi anagunda ayezi. Panali kunjenjemera koopsa, ndipo madzi oundanawo anang’ambika m’zidutswa zambiri, n’kugwera pansi ndi phokoso ngati bingu.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 205.

“Ndalamulidwa kulankhula momveka bwino. ‘Tikumane,’ ndi mawu olankhulidwa kwa ine. kukumana nacho mwamphamvu, osazengereza. . . . M'buku la 'Living Temple' muli mawu abodza ampatuko. Omega adzatsatira, ndipo adzalandiridwa ndi iwo amene sakufuna kumvera chenjezo limene Mulungu wapereka. . . . Ndili ndi chikhumbo chachikulu chowaona akuima momasuka mwa Ambuye. Ndikupemphera kuti akhale olimba mtima kuti aime zolimba kaamba ka chowonadi monga momwe ziliri mwa Yesu, kugwiritsitsa chiyambi cha chidaliro chawo kufikira chimaliziro.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 200.

“Iwo aona zochita zoipa, namva mawu osayenera, naona zolakwa zikutsatiridwa; Ndikuitana iwo amene alumikizidwa ndi zisonkhezero zomangirirazi kuti athyole goli limene akhala akugonjera kwa nthawi yaitali, ndi kuima monga anthu aufulu mwa Khristu. Palibe china koma kuyesayesa kotsimikizirika kudzathetsa matsenga amene ali nawo.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 197.

Kodi kuyitanidwa kuti achitepo kanthu kungakhale kofulumira bwanji? Aliyense amene amaona mpatuko ali ndi udindo wotsutsana nawo popanda kunyengerera. Ngati panakhalapo nthawi yokhala ndi kukhala chete ndi kumvetsera ulaliki wolakwika mpaka kumapeto (umene ndikukayika), kotero kuti cholakwa choipitsitsacho chifike ku mpingo wonse, nthawiyo yatha. Sikokwanira kungoyankhula ndi mtumiki pambuyo pake, mwamseri, pamene cholakwika chafika ku malingaliro a anthu.

“Aliyense auke tsopano, ndipo agwire ntchito monga ali nayo mwayi. Mloleni iye alankhule mawu mu nyengo ndi kunja kwa nyengo, ndi kuyang'ana kwa Khristu kuti amulimbikitse ndi nyonga mukuchita bwino. . . . Uthenga wanga kwa inu ndi wakuti: Musalolenso kumvera popanda kutsutsa kupotozedwa kwa choonadi. Tsegulani zinthu zodzionetsera zomwe, ngati zilandilidwa, zidzatsogolera atumiki ndi madotolo ndi ogwira ntchito zaumishonale kunyalanyaza chowonadi. Aliyense tsopano aime podikira. Mulungu akuitana amuna ndi akazi kuti atenge kaimidwe kawo pansi pa mbendera yodetsedwa ndi magazi ya Prince Emmanuel. Ndalangizidwa kuti ndichenjeze anthu athu; pakuti ambiri ali paupandu wa kulandira nthanthi ndi nthanthi zofooketsa mizati ya maziko a chikhulupiriro.” Mauthenga Osankhidwa, Buku 1, 195, 196.

Pulumutsani Achinyamata Athu

Ellen G. White nthawi zambiri anachenjeza kuti achinyamata sayenera kutumizidwa ku koleji ku Battle Creek. Amawopa achinyamata a Adventist chifukwa cha chikoka choyipa chomwe chinali komweko. "Iwo amene adakhamukira ku Battle Creek, ndipo akusungidwa kumeneko, amawona ndikumva zinthu zambiri zomwe zimafooketsa chikhulupiriro chawo, ndi kuyambitsa kusakhulupirira." Paulson Collection, 109.

Koma bwanji za makoleji athu ndi maseminale lero? Kodi zinthu zili bwinoko kuposa momwe zinalili panthawiyo ku Battle Creek? Ndilibe chidziwitso chochuluka chotere cha masukulu a Adventist ku US, koma ndikudziwapo kanthu za maseminale aku Germany. M'masukulu awa, chiphunzitso cha malo opatulika a Adventist amakanidwa, kutsutsidwa kwa Baibulo kumaphunzitsidwa, nthawi ya kulengedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndi Chiyembekezo cha kubweranso kwachiwiri kwa Khristu kumakanidwa, etc. Zinthu izi zalembedwa bwino ndikutsimikiziridwa ndi ophunzira a seminare ya ku Germany.

Kodi cholinga cha sukulu yotereyi n'chiyani? Ndiko kupereka chowonadi cha chikhulupiriro chathu ku mbadwo wotsatira. Koma, ngati sukulu ipereka zolakwika kwa ophunzira lero, atumiki a mawa adzapereka zolakwika izi ku mipingo yawo. Momwemo chowonadi chimapasulidwa ndipo anthu akuonongeka chifukwa chosowa chidziwitso.

Izi ndi zowopsa makamaka kwa achinyamata athu. Kodi achinyamata a Adventist ali bwanji masiku ano? Ndikukumbukira usiku wina, pamene ine ndi mkazi wanga tinali ndi nyengo ya pemphero imene iye anapempherera mabwenzi a Adventist omwe anali nawo paunyamata wake. Polingalira za iwo, mkazi wanga anakhala pansi ndi kulira ndi kulira ndipo sanathe kuleka. Mabwenzi ake akale ochepa kwambiri anali adakali m’choonadi. Pafupifupi onse anali atapita ku dziko; ena monga mamembala a mpingo wa SDA, ena atakana kotheratu ntchito yawo.

Koma kodi zimenezi n’zodabwitsa kwa aliyense? Kodi achinyamata akuchita chiyani akasonkhana pamodzi pa Sabata masana? Ndaziwonapo nthawi zambiri: pambuyo pa kudzipereka kwakanthawi kochepa (ngati kuli kotheka) amayamba kusewera basketball, tennis ya tebulo kapena chilichonse. Tsiku lina ndinakumana ndi m’busa wina amene anasonkhanitsa achinyamata a tchalitchi chake kuti akaonere mavidiyo. Anaonera mafilimu okhudza kugonana ndi zigawenga mpaka m'mawa.

Ndikudabwa kuti ndi angati a Adventist akuganiza kuti akwaniritsa udindo wawo wonse pamene adalira ana awo kwa atumiki ndi masukulu a Sabata kuti aphunzire zachipembedzo. Ndi ochepa otani amene amalingalira mmene ana awo amakhudzidwira ndi chisonkhezero cha mpingo umene amapita ku Sabata lirilonse?! Ngakhale muvuto la Alpha Ellen G. White anachenjeza mobwerezabwereza kuti sitiyenera kudziwonetsera tokha ku chikoka chowononga chikhulupiriro chotero. Zimenezi zikugwira ntchito mwapadera kwa achinyamata okhoza kuumbika. Iye analemba kuti:

"Ndinganene, samalani zomwe zimasuntha. Si cholinga cha Mulungu kuti achinyamata athu aitanidwe ku Battle Creek.” Zilembo za Battle Creek, 4.

“Tikutsutsa m’dzina la Yehova Mulungu wa Israyeli, motsutsana ndi kuitanira kwa unyamata wathu kumalo kumene Yehova ananena kuti sayenera kupitako. Zilembo za Battle Creek, 4, 5.

“Kuwala komwe kunandipatsa Ambuye—kuti achinyamata athu sayenera kusonkhanitsa ku Battle Creek kuti alandire maphunziro awo—sikunasinthidwe. Mfundo yakuti Sanitarium idamangidwanso ku Battle Creek sikusintha kuwala. Zonse zomwe m’mbuyomu zidapangitsa kuti Battle Creek kukhala malo osayenera kwa achinyamata athu zilipo masiku ano, malinga ndi zomwe zikukhudza.” Zilembo za Battle Creek, 4.

Pamene Mkulu wokhulupirika Haskell ndi mkazi wake analandira kuyitana kuti abwere ku Battle Creek, Ellen G. White analangiza:

“Kuti mulandire kukuitanani kuti mupite ku Battle Creek, kukapereka maphunziro a Baibulo kwa anamwino ndi ophunzira zachipatala, sikundidabwitsa. Ndalangizidwa kuti kuyesayesa kudzachitidwa kuti mayina anu akhale aphunzitsi a anamwino a ku Battle Creek, kotero kuti mamenejala a Sanitarium angauze anthu athu kuti Elder ndi Mayi Haskell ayenera kupereka maphunziro kwa anamwino a Battle Creek Sanitarium, ndipo agwiritse ntchito zimenezi monga njira yonyengelera ku Battle Creek awo amene akanatsatira maphunziro awo kumeneko.” Paulson Collection, 108.

Ena amati mayitanidwe a Ellen G. White kuti achoke ku Battle Creek adaperekedwa kuti aletse kukhazikika pamalopo. Koma ichi ndi mbali chabe ya choonadi. Mawu otsatirawa kwa Mbale ndi Mlongo Haskell angamveke kukhala odabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri okonda chikondi: “Pali chiyembekezo pang’ono kumbali imodzi: Tengani anyamata ndi atsikana, ndi kuwaika kumene angakumaneko pang’ono ndi mipingo yathu monga momwe kungathekere, kuti mkhalidwe wotsikitsitsa wa umulungu umene ulipo lerolino usatupitse malingaliro awo a tanthauzo la kukhala Mkristu.” Manuscript Releases, vol. 12, 333.

Ngati ziwonetsero zanu zotsutsana ndi mpatuko sizikutsatiridwa, muli ndi chisankho: mwina mukhala ndikulekerera mpatukowo kapena muchoke ndikudzipulumutsa nokha ndi banja lanu ku zisonkhezero izi. Chikoka chomwe mumalola kukhudza moyo wanu chidzasankha tsogolo lanu lamuyaya. "Aliyense adzawonetsa mawonekedwe a mtolo womwe adzimanga nawo." 1888 Materials, 995. Ellen G. White akubweretsa mfundo iyi kwa ife: "'Out of Battle Creek' ndi uthenga wanga." Paulson Collection, 111.

Kugwiritsa Ntchito ndi Kumaliza

Ena anganene kuti: “Kutchalitchi kwathu sikuphunzitsidwa za milungu. Sindingagwiritse ntchito mawuwa pazochitika zanga.” Mwina mukulondola. Tamandani Mulungu chifukwa cha mpingo uliwonse umene ukuyimilirabe pa choonadi cha maziko a Mauthenga a Angelo Atatu. Palinso ena mwa iwo, koma chiwerengero chawo chikuchepa tsiku ndi tsiku. Kumbukirani, komabe, pamene mukuwunika mpingo wanu, kuti kupembedza Mulungu kokha si nkhani ya vuto la Omega, kumaphatikizapo mfundo zina zambiri. Dzifunseni nokha funso lakuti, Kodi iwo amauchitira motani Mzimu wa Ulosi? Kodi chikutsatiridwa ngati mawu owuziridwa ndi osalephera a Mulungu operekedwa kwa ife kupyolera mwa mneneri Wake wotsiriza? Kodi atsogoleri a matchalitchi anatani pamene munayesa kuwawongolera? Kodi anamvetsa ndi kulapa?

“Mwa iwo amene akugwira ntchito mosalekeza kufooketsa chikhulupiriro cha uthenga umene Mulungu akutumiza kwa anthu Ake, ndikulangizidwa kunena kuti, ‘Tulukani pakati pawo, ndipo patukani.’” Review and Herald, July 23, 1908.

Kodi mpingo wanu uli gawo la bungwe la ecumenical? Kodi amuna amene anali ndi maudindo anatani pamene munaimirira kuti mutsutse? Kodi anamvetsa ndi kulapa? Mwinamwake mungagwirizane nane pa kulekanitsidwa ku gulu la ecumenical, koma osati pa kupatukana ndi odzitcha Adventist amene amavomereza ndi kuchirikiza umembala wa ecumenical. Mungachite bwino kuganizira chitsanzo cha Nehemiya wokhulupirika. “Pamene iwo amene ali ogwirizana ndi dziko lapansi, komabe akudzinenera chiyero chachikulu, akuchonderera kuti agwirizane ndi iwo amene akhala akutsutsa ntchito ya choonadi, tiyenera kuwaopa ndi kuwakana iwo motsimikiza monga anachitira Nehemiya.” Aneneri ndi Mafumu, 660.

Kodi moto wachilendo umaperekedwa mu mpingo wanu mu mawonekedwe a zisudzo, nyimbo zadziko kapena zachikoka? Kodi mtumiki wanu amagwiritsa ntchito NLP kapena china chilichonse? Kodi mpingo wanu unatani pamene munalitsutsa? Kodi anamvetsa ndi kulapa? “Amuna a Isiraeli ataona khalidwe loipa la ansembe, ankaona kuti ndi bwino kuti mabanja awo asapite kumalo olambirirako. Ambiri anachoka ku Silo atasokonezedwa ndi mtendere wawo, mkwiyo wawo unayaka, mpaka pamene pomalizira pake anatsimikiza mtima kupereka nsembe zawo, akumatsimikizira kuti zimenezi zikanakhala zovomerezeka kotheratu kwa Mulungu, ponena za kuvomereza m’njira iliyonse zonyansa zochitidwa m’malo opatulika.” Zizindikiro za Times, December 1, 1881.

Nkhani ya Chiombolo 322-324:

“Mdani wamkulu tsopano anayesetsa kupeza mwachinyengo zimene analephera kuzipeza mwaukali. ... Ndi zololera zina kumbali yawo, iwo analingalira kuti Akristu ayenera kuvomereza, kuti onse agwirizane pa nsanja ya chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu.

Tsopano mpingo unali mu ngozi yowopsya. Kundende, kuzunzidwa, moto, ndi lupanga zinali madalitso poyerekezera ndi zimenezi. Akristu ena anaima nji, nalengeza kuti sangagonje. ... Imeneyo inali nthawi yachisoni chachikulu kwa otsatira okhulupirika a Khristu. Mu chobvala cha Chikristu chonyengezera, Satana anali kudzilowetsa yekha mu mpingo, kuti aipitse chikhulupiriro chawo ndi kutembenuzira malingaliro awo ku mawu a choonadi. ...

Koma palibe mgwirizano pakati pa Kalonga wa kuwala ndi kalonga wa mdima, ndipo sipangakhale mgwirizano pakati pa otsatira awo. Pamene Akristu anavomera kugwirizana ndi iwo amene anali atatembenuzidwa theka lachikunja kuchoka ku chikunja, iwo analoŵa m’njira yopita kutali kwambiri ndi choonadi. Satana anasangalala kuti anakwanitsa kusocheretsa otsatira a Khristu ambirimbiri. Kenako anabweretsa mphamvu zake kuti ziwakhutiritse kwambiri, ndipo anawauzira kuti azizunza amene anakhalabe okhulupirika kwa Mulungu. Palibe amene akanatha kumvetsa bwino lomwe mmene angatsutse chikhulupiriro choona chachikristu monga mmene akanachitira aja amene kale anali ochitetezera; ndipo Akristu ampatuko ameneŵa, kugwirizana ndi mabwenzi awo omwe sanali achikunja, analunjikitsa nkhondo yawo motsutsana ndi mbali zofunika kwambiri za ziphunzitso za Kristu. ...

Pambuyo pa mkangano wautali ndi woopsa ochepa okhulupirika anaganiza zothetsa mgwirizano wonse ndi mpingo wampatuko ngati akanakanabe kudzimasula yekha ku bodza ndi kupembedza mafano. Iwo anawona kuti kulekana kunali kofunika kotheratu ngati akanamvera Mawu a Mulungu. Sanayerekeze kulekerera zolakwa zomwe zingawononge miyoyo yawo ndikuyika chitsanzo chomwe chikayika pachiwopsezo chikhulupiriro cha ana awo ndi ana a ana awo. Kuti atetezere mtendere ndi umodzi iwo anali okonzeka kupanga kulolera kulikonse kogwirizana ndi kukhulupirika kwa Mulungu; koma iwo analingalira kuti ngakhale mtendere ukanagulidwa mopambanitsa pa nsembe ya mfundo zachikhalidwe. Ngati umodzi ukhoza kutetezedwa kokha mwa kulolerana ndi choonadi ndi chilungamo, ndiye kuti pakhale kusiyana, ngakhale nkhondo. Kukanakhala bwino kwa mpingo ndi dziko lapansi ngati mfundo zimene zinasonkhezera miyoyo yokhazikika imeneyo zikanatsitsimutsidwa m’mitima ya odzitcha anthu a Mulungu.

Kodi tidzaphunzirapo kanthu kuchokera m’mbuyomo? Kodi tidzazindikira nthawi ya kuchezeredwa kwathu? Kodi tidzatsatira mfundo zolondola? Ambuye atithandize ife mu nthawi yovuta kwambiri ino pamene tsogolo lathu lamuyaya, ndi la mabanja athu, likuganiziridwa.

Okhulupirika ochepa pakati pa magulu a Adventist akuvutika modabwitsa! Inenso pandekha ndikumva izi. Munthu amaona ngati akupendekeka pa makina amphepo m'mipingo yathu; umadzimva wekha, wosiyidwa, ndi wopanda mphamvu. Kodi ndi chiyeso chabe cha kuleza mtima? Kapena kodi Mulungu akuyembekezera nthawi yoyenera ndipo akufuna kupatsa anthu ake mwayi womaliza? Ndi liti pamene Iye adzalowererapo ndi kufuna chilungamo? Kodi chinachitika n’chiyani kuti mpingo wathu ulandidwe ndi adani? Kodi kunali kusasamala kwathu ku ziphunzitso ndi zochitika zomwe zatizungulira? Ku mafunso ambiri mwina sangayankhidwe kupatula muyaya, koma ena tikhoza kuwamvetsa kale. Tiyeni tipitirize kusinkhasinkha!

Tsono, ndani atsogoleriwa omwe sanakonze ndi kukonza ziphunzitso zabodza izi m’zaka 61 za mbiri ya mpingo? Inde, abwenzi anga, nkhani yabwino yochokera pamwamba ikunena momveka bwino: ali Ecu-Adventists! Iwo anafuna kutigulitsa—ndipo anatigulitsa—kwa apapa, monga momwe mipingo ina iliyonse yakale ya Chiprotestanti nayonso yagulitsidwa kwa Satana. Chotero, iwo sali ngakhale Adventist, koma ophunzira a Satana!

Takhala tikulankhula nthaŵi yonse ya Pergamo, koma potsirizira pake tafika pakumvetsetsa kuti takhala kale m’gawo la Tiyatira chiyambire chaka cha Orion cha 1986. Panthaŵiyo, chimene chinayamba mu 1949 chinafikira kukhala chenicheni chowopsya, chofala. Chiphunzitso chabodza cha chikhalidwe chosagwa cha Yesu chidatithamangitsira kumpatuko ndi mgwirizano ndi hule la Satana. Choncho, mkhalidwe wa mpingo wathu lero ndi woipa kwambiri kotero kuti abale athu okhulupirika achisoni ndi oda nkhaŵa akuusa moyo ndi kulira usana ndi usiku. Makalata amene ndimalandira amalankhula chinenero chimenecho. Tchalitchi chagaŵikana kotheratu ndi kumwazikana, komabe pali kusalinganizika kodabwitsa m’chiyanjo cha awo amene amalola “mkazi uja Yezebeli, wodzitcha yekha mneneri wamkazi, kuphunzitsa ndi kusokeretsa atumiki anga kuti achite dama, ndi kudya zoperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano.” Mpingo wathu, padziko lonse lapansi, unapita kukagona ndi apapa ndi kuchita chiwerewere.

Tinalankhula za Anikolai kapena Ecu-Adventists, koma mu nthawi ya Tiyatira, tikudziwa bwino lomwe atsogoleriwa amatchedwa omwe amatitsogolera ku ziphunzitso izi ndi khalidwe ili, chifukwa pali gulu lapadera lomwe lili ndi ntchito iyi ndendende ndi machenjerero ndi ziphunzitso izi: AJesuiti. Gulu lomenyera nkhondo limeneli la apapa linakhazikitsidwa n’cholinga chothetsa kusintha kwa zinthu. Yakwana nthawi, abale ndi alongo, kuti tidzuke ndi kuletsa anthu ochita zoipawa m'magulu athu. Ngati mukufuna kuwerenga zomwe a Jesuit adalumbirira pakukhazikitsidwa kwawo, fufuzani pa intaneti. Nditasindikiza lumbiro lawo posachedwa pabwalo, ndidapezeka kuti ndathamangitsidwa nthawi yomweyo, chifukwa palibe amene akufuna kuvomereza chowonadi. Ndizoipa kwambiri!

Chifukwa chake, ngati mumvera wina akuphunzitsa akuti, “Yesu anayesedwa ndi Satana kuchokera kunja monga ife, koma analibe ndi chikhumbo cha kuchimwa monga ife,” ndiye mudziwa tsopano, abale okondedwa, kuti mukumvera Mnikolai kapena Yesuit (kapena otsatira awo) osati Adventist wokhazikika, wozika mizu mu chikhulupiriro cha Yesu. Ndipo kodi Yesu akutiuza kuti tichite nawo chiyani? Koma ichi uli nacho, kuti udana nazo ntchito za Anikolai, zimene inenso ndidana nazo. ( Chibvumbulutso 2:6 )

Danani ndi zochita za Anikolai, koma osati munthu! Mwina ndi anthu amene ananyengedwa. Komabe:

Chomwecho uli nawonso iwo akugwira chiphunzitso cha Anikolai, chimene ine ndimadana nacho. ( Chibvumbulutso 2:15 )

Kodi tiyenera kulekerera chiphunzitsochi pakati pathu molingana ndi ndime iyi? Ayi, ayenera kuchotsedwa m’malo awo n’kulowedwa m’malo ndi ena amene amaumirirabe choonadi.

Lapani; ukapanda kutero, ndidzadza kwa iwe msanga, ndipo ndidzamenyana nawo ndi lupanga la mkamwa mwanga. ( Chibvumbulutso 2:16 )

Kodi timalapa bwanji ngati mpingo? Kodi ndi liti pamene Mulungu anamenyana ndi lupanga la m’kamwa mwake motsutsana ndi chiphunzitsochi? Kapena izi zikubwerabe? Ngati izo zachitika kale, ndiye bwanji ife sitikudziwa kalikonse za izo? Amenewa ndi mafunso ofunika kwambiri omwe tiyenera kuwaganizira mozama.

Popeza kuti lonjezo la Yesu la kumenyana ndi Malemba molimbana ndi amene sanalape linaperekedwa kwa gawo la Pergamo kuyambira 1936 mpaka 1986, ndipo popeza tikudziwanso kuti chitonzo cha ku Pergamo chinayamba mu 1949, tiyenera kuyembekezera kuti Mulungu anayambitsa nkhondoyo ndi Mawu Ake ndendende panthaŵi ino—m’mawu ena, patangopita 1949 pamene mpingo unali m’mavuto aakulu. Kodi tinaphonya chilichonse chimene chinachitika m’zaka zimenezi mwamsanga pambuyo pa 1949 chimene chinakwaniritsa ulosi umenewu? Zomwe tati tipeze tsopano zikusemphana ndi mafotokozedwe onse, abale ndi alongo okondedwa.

Pamene ndinali kuchita ndi nkhani za mu 1950, ndinazindikira chimene Orion kwenikweni chiri, chifukwa chakuti zaka zimenezi ndi chizindikiro cha kuponderezedwa kwa uthenga wofunika kwambiri kutchalitchi chathu umene Mulungu sanatumizepo. Ndakhala ndikupemphera kwambiri kuti Mulungu andithandize kusonkhanitsa mfundo zonse zimene mungafunike kachiwiri kupanga umodzi wa chikhulupiriro pakati pa magulu athu onse ndi "mayi mpingo" pamaso Gawo lomaliza la General Conference ikuchitika mu June/July 2010 ku Atlanta.

Pofufuza nkhaniyi, ndinapeza zolemba zotayika zomwe zingathe kudziwika kokha ndi kufufuza kwakukulu. Malingaliro ochepa okha obisika pamasamba ochepa a Adventist achisoni komanso okhulupirika omwe amandiyika ine panjira yoyenera. Tsopano, ndikufuna ndikufotokozereni mwachidule zomwe zidachitika mchaka cha 1950 ...

Mu 1950, Mulungu anatumiza akulu aŵiri (omwe pambuyo pake anakhala abusa a Tchalitchi cha SDA, otumikira kwa zaka makumi ambiri ndi olemekezedwa kwambiri), Robert Wieland ndi Donald K. Short, ku Session yapadziko lonse ya General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Iwo anali atalankhulana kale ndi General Conference pasadakhale ponena za zotsutsa zawo zofunika kwambiri pa nkhani zina, koma anali atalangizidwa kuti ateteze nkhaniyi mwachinsinsi kwambiri ndi kulemba zotsatira za phunziro lawo pa nkhani yotsutsanayi mu mawonekedwe a zolemba pamanja. Chifukwa chake, akulu awiriwa, omwe adachokera ku gawo la mishoni ku Africa, adasonkhanitsa buku lathunthu lomwe adalitcha "1888 Re-Examined".

Pamsonkhano Waukulu ku Minneapolis mu 1888, chinthu choyipa chinali chitachitika kale. Ndinalankhula izi mwachidule m'nkhani zanga zamutu Mbiri Yakale Ikubwereza. Kuwala kwa mngelo wachinayi kunakanidwa. Chotulukapo chake chinali chakuti Tchalitchi cha Adventist chinataya choyikapo nyalicho, ndipo mofanana ndi Aisrayeli amene analipo patsogolo pawo, anayenera kuyendayendanso m’chipululu kwa zaka “40” Yesu asanabwere kudzawatengera kwawo. Akulu Wieland & Short anatenganso kope limeneli mu 1950, popeza anali akuphunzira nkhaniyi kwa zaka zambiri, ndipo anafunanso kutsutsa chiphunzitso “chatsopano” cha Christology. Zimene zinaonekera poyera zinali umboni woonekeratu wakuti mpingo sungabwere ku Kanani popanda kulapa kwamagulu. Iwo analemba chikalata chawo cha “1888 Re-Eamined” pofuna kudzutsa mamembala a Msonkhano Waukulu ndi kuunika kowonjezereka kumeneku kumene analandira kupyolera mu maphunziro awo, ndipo anayesa kuwanyengerera kuti abwerere ku njira zakale. Uwu unali mutu wovuta kwambiri, mukaganizira kuti mu 1949 mpingo unali utangoganiza zopatuka panjira yoyenera.

Pambuyo popereka zolembedwa pamanja ku Msonkhano Waukulu, adaletsedwa kupereka chidziwitso chilichonse kwa mamembala ampingo. Akuluwo anavomereza popanda kutsutsa, koma mkhalidwe “woipa” unali utachitika kale. Chiletso cha kugaŵa chisanalengedwe, mabwenzi ena a akulu anali atakopera kale chikalata chofunika kwambiri chimenechi, chomwe chili ndi masamba oposa 200 a zinthu zophulika kwambiri—kuti azifikiridwa ndi mamembala ena. Amishonalewo anabwerera ku Africa ndipo moleza mtima anadikira yankho kuchokera ku General Conference.

Anayenera kudikira nthawi yaitali. Ena anali atazindikira kale kuti uthenga wa Wieland ndi Short unali nthawi yachiwiri pamene kuwala kwa mngelo wachinayi wa Chivumbulutso 18 kunali kutumizidwa ku General Conference. Kusaleza mtima kunakula pakati pa okhulupirika a Mulungu, akumayembekezera kuti panthaŵiyi, Mulungu amene anali kumenya nkhondo ndi lupanga Lake adzapambana nkhondoyo, koma uthengawo unali utanyalanyazidwa kale mu 1950. Msonkhano Waukulu unatenga nthaŵi yaitali kuti uyankhidwe. Mu December 1951, yankho lodabwitsa komanso loyembekezeredwa kwa nthawi yayitali linachokera ku General Conference. Kuwala kwa mngelo wachinayi kunali kukanidwa kachiŵiri, ndipo nthaŵi ino m’njira imene ingayerekezedwe kokha ndi chipongwe chowonekera kwa Seventh-day Adventist wokhulupirika aliyense. Kunanenedwa kukhala kuperekedwa kwa abale ndi kuti zonse ziyenera kusesedwa pansi pa tebulo.

M'zaka zotsatira, panali makalata ena pakati pa (panthawiyo) abusa Wieland ndi Short ndi General Conference ponena za kafukufuku wawo. Kupyolera mu ntchito yofufuza mosamala ndinapeza zikalata zonsezi, kuphatikizapo zolembedwa pamanja "1888 Re-Examination" mu mawonekedwe ake oyambirira kuchokera ku 1950. Zolemba zonse zokhudzana ndi zochitika zomwe zinayamba mu 1950 zinali zitasonkhanitsidwa kale m'gulu la zolemba zotchedwa "Chenjezo ndi Kulandira Kwake". AL Hudson, mkulu wamkulu wa mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist wa ku Baker, Oregon, anali atasonkhanitsa zikalata zimenezi ndi kuziperekanso kwanthaŵi ina pa Msonkhano Waukulu wa mu 1959—popanda chipambano chirichonse, monga momwe mungaganizire.

Nditayamba kuphunzira zolemba izi, kuwala kunawala mumtima mwanga. Kuwala kwa Mulungu! Mngelo wachinayi anali atatsika kale kawiri, kufuna kupereka kuwala kwake. Mawu ochokera pamwambawa amapeza tanthauzo latsopano: "Chinthu chimodzi chimene chiri chotsimikizirika kuti chidzachitika posachedwa,—mpatuko waukulu, umene ukukula ndi kukula ndikukula mwamphamvu, ndipo udzapitirizabe kutero kufikira Ambuye adzatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi mfuu.” {Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, p. 57}. Ambuye anatsika kale kawiri ndi mfuu yochokera kumwamba—nthawi yoyamba mu 1888 ndipo kachiwiri mu 1950.

Kuyitana kwake sikunamveke, komabe, kuleza mtima kwa Mulungu sikutha. Iye amaleza mtima kwambiri ndi ana ake chifukwa amafuna kuti wochimwayo alape ndipo pamapeto pake adzapulumuke. Mpingo wathu wodwala ukhozanso kuchiritsidwa ndi kuunikaku. Izo ziyenera kulandiridwa potsiriza. Tiyenera kukhala ana a Mulungu okhwima ndi kukopa atsogoleri athu kuti asakanenso kuwalako.

Orion amalozera ku 1949 ndi 1950. Mizere iyi imapangidwa ndi Anthu atatu a Bungwe Laumulungu ndipo mogwirizana ndi kumvetsetsa kwanga kwamakono, ndikutanthauzira izi kutanthauza kuti Mulungu akufuna kutiuza kuti Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera ali kumbuyo kwa uthenga wa 1950. Mwana ndi Atate amapanga mzere wa 1950. Chifukwa chiyani?

Uthenga wa 1950 ndiwowonjezeranso uthenga wa 1888, “Chilungamo mwa Chikhulupiriro,” koma uthengawo sunamveke bwino kapena kuphunzitsidwa. Nkhani zonsezi zayankhidwa mu "1888 Re-Examined". Ndi za dongosolo la chipulumutso ndi kumvetsetsa koyenera kwa ubale wathu ndi malamulo a Mulungu. Uthengawo uyenera kutchedwa moyenerera: “Palibe Chilungamo Chochokera mu Chikhulupiriro, Ngati Chikhulupiriro Chili Chakufa” kapena “Chilungamo mwa Chikhulupiriro Chamoyo.”

Atate anatumiza Mwana wake kudziko lapansi kudzakwaniritsa mbali yoyamba ya uthengawo, kulungamitsidwa kwathu. Mzimu Woyera amakhudza mwa ife, pamodzi ndi utumiki wa Khristu mu malo opatulika kwambiri a kachisi wakumwamba, gawo lachiwiri la uthenga: kumvera ndi kuyeretsedwa. Mkangano waukulu pakati pa kuwala ndi mdima ndi wokhudza ngati pangapezeke okhulupirira okwanira amene amasunga malamulo a Mulungu ndi kuwatsimikizira ndi umboni wawo.

Ndipo uthenga uwu wabwino wa ufumu udzalalikidwa padziko lonse lapansi kwa umboni kwa mitundu yonse; ndipo pomwepo chidzafika chimaliziro. ( Mateyu 24:14 )

Ndi za kuchitira umboni za Mulungu Atate ndikuwonetsa kuti pali okhulupirika osachepera 144,000 omwe amasunga ndikuzindikira malamulo ake ngakhale ayesedwa ndi Satana. Pa mkangano waukulu, ndi Mulungu Atate mwini amene ayenera kulungamitsidwa. Iwo amene amapita ndi Anikolai amamenya Mulungu Atate kumaso ndi kuteteza chiphunzitso cha Balaamu, amene anapangitsa ana a Israeli kuchimwa kudzera mu chidziko ndi mayesero athupi. Chilungamo ndi kumvera chifukwa cha chikondi—zonse zitatu zimagwirizana. Chilichonse chimakhala chomveka pokhapokha titazindikira izi. Ndipo makamaka popeza Mulungu Atate ndi malamulo Ake akukhudzidwa pano, Iye amaika chizindikiro pamodzi ndi Mwana Wake wobadwa yekha chaka chimene uthenga Wake unakanidwanso: 1950.

Uthenga uwu ndi wosalandiridwa, suchulukitsa chiwerengero cha umembala ndipo motero umabweretsa chakhumi chaching'ono, ndipo ukuopseza apapa ndi mipingo ina yakugwa. Chotero, anayenera kukanidwa mobwerezabwereza—kaŵiri kufikira pano!

Amene akufuna kutsitsa chikalatachi pompano, chonde dinani PANO. Ndikupemphanso Adventist aliyense woona mtima ndi wokhulupirika amene amalankhula chinenero chachilendo kuti agwiritse ntchito luso lake mu ntchito ya Mulungu kuti amasulire zolembedwa zimenezi m’chinenero chake cha mayi ndi kufalitsa kudzera pa imelo. Titha kupanganso mawebusayiti ambiri m'zilankhulo zina momwe tikufunira, ndi phunziro lonse la Orion. Zili ndi inu!

Upangiri winanso… Kope latsopano la "1888 Re-Examined" linasindikizidwa mu 1980s lomwe ndilabwino kuwerenga koma limaphatikizapo kusintha kwakukulu ndi kufufutidwa poyerekeza ndi Baibulo loyambirira la 1950. Magazini iyi imalengezedwa pafupifupi kulikonse, koma choyambirira ndi chovuta kwambiri kuchipeza. Yankho la 1951 la General Conference ku zotsutsa za Wieland ndi Short sizikuphatikizidwanso. Ndinakhala ndi lingaliro lakuti abusa Wieland ndi Short anabweza m’zaka zotsatira, chotero ndinalembera Robert Wieland, amene akali ndi moyo ndipo ngakhale ali ndi webusaiti, kuti ndiphunzire zambiri kwa iye. Iye sanayankhe nkomwe, komabe. Ndikuganiza kuti mukapitiliza kuwerenga, mumvetsetsa zomwe zidachitika ndi Wieland ndi Short. Zilinso chimodzimodzi ndi Wagoner ndi Jones. Iwo ananyengerera ndi kusiya chikondi chawo choyamba, koma monga Ellen G. White ananenera momveka bwino, izi ziribe kanthu kalikonse pa uthenga woyambirira ndi kuunika koperekedwa ndi izo. Tiyenera, ndithudi, kuwerenga kuunika koyambirira kosonyezedwa ndi Mulungu kupyolera mu mzere wa mpando wachifumu wa 1950, osati kusindikiza kwatsopano kovomerezeka kovomerezeka ndi General Conference ndikukonzedwa ndi m'busa amene amadalira penshoni yake.

Kuti ndikupatseni lingaliro la zomwe zikukuyembekezerani komanso momwe zidaphulika zomwe ndidazipeza kudzera pampando wachifumu wa Orion, ndimasindikiza mawu oyamba a "Chenjezo ndi Kulandirira Kwake" ndi Mkulu Hudson, yemwe adazilemba zonse:

Chenjezo ndi Kulandiridwa Kwake

Zolemba zomwe zili m'nkhaniyi zakonzedwa makamaka kuti aphunzire ndi chitsogozo cha mamembala a Executive Committee of the North Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists motsatira Motion yomwe inaperekedwa ndi Komiti iyi pa February 3, 1959, ndi omwe adasaina.

Sikuti cholinga chakuti choperekachi chizifalitsidwa kwambiri m’magulu onse a umembala wathu wampingo koma sichikuganiziridwanso kuti chizikhala kwa mamembala a Komiti Yogwirizana.

Cholinga chathu chimapempha Komiti kuti ipange zolemba zomwe zili pano kuti zikhalepo kwa mamembala a North Pacific Union Conference ndikupereka kufufuza kotseguka, koyenera, koyenera komanso kokwanira pa nkhaniyi.

Mwachiwonekere, Komiti iyi siingathe kufika pa chigamulo chanzeru ndikuchitapo kanthu moyenera pa Chigamulocho mpaka itawerenga zikalata zomwe zikufunsidwa. Izi sizipezeka mosavuta chifukwa chake kukonzekera kwa choperekachi. Komanso, kukonzekera zosonkhanitsira izi kudzapangitsa kuti Komitiyi ikhale yosavuta kuti igwire bwino ntchito yathu malinga ndi kupezeka kwa zinthuzo. Popeza kuti akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu amatsutsa kuti mpingo uzidziwitsidwa za nkhaniyi, zingakhale zochititsa manyazi kuti nkhaniyi isindikizidwe mu imodzi mwa nyumba zathu zosindikizira. Koma ndi mbale zopangidwa kale ndi malo osindikizira omwe ali pansi pa umwini ndi ntchito yathu kukakhala kosavuta kupatsa Komiti Yogwirizana ndi makope okwanira pamtengo wokwanira kuti igwirizane ndi pempho lomwe lilipo.

Panthawi yomwe tidapanga chigamulocho chinali lingaliro lathu kuti zolemba zomwe zidalembedwamo ndizo zonse zomwe zingafunike kuti tiganizire za nkhani yomwe ikukhudzidwa. Komabe, pa nthawi ya kuperekedwa kwa Motion Purezidenti wa General Conference yemwe analipo adayimilira ku Komiti kuti lipoti lachitatu la Msonkhano Wachigawo pa Wieland-Short zowonetsera komanso kalata yomaliza yodzipereka yolembedwa ndi Wieland ndi Short pansi pa tsiku la January 21, 1959, idzasintha kwambiri chithunzi monga momwe zilili m'malemba omwe atchulidwa kale. Choncho, tikuphatikiza pano lipoti lachitatu la General Conference lotchedwa Wieland- Short Manuscript Committee Report ndi kalata yomwe yatchulidwa pamwambapa.

ZOCHITIKA KU KOMITI YA Mgwirizano

Pa February 3, 1959, Wopemphayo anaonekera yekha pamaso pa Komiti iyi akupanga malingaliro ndi Zolemba zotsatirazi.

Mau oyamba a Motion

Bambo Purezidenti: Akubwera tsopano Wopemphayo, AL Hudson, akuwonekera yekha ndipo akupereka zifukwa zotsatirazi ndi mafotokozedwe.

Ndine membala wamba wa mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist ndi umembala wa bungwe la Baker, Oregon. Ndinabadwira muuthenga, monga tikunenera, mu mpingo womwewu ndipo ndautumikira m’njira zosiyanasiyana kuyambira ndili mwana. Ine ndiri tsopano, ndipo kwa zaka zambiri zapitazo ndakhala, woyamba Mkulu wa mpingo uno.

Mofanana ndi abale anga onse a mgonero wathu, ndimakhulupirira kuti bungwe la mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist m’mabungwe ndi mabungwe onse ogwirizana ndi ovomerezeka ndi ogwirizana kuti alengeze mauthenga a angelo atatu a Chibvumbulutso 14.

Ndikukhulupirira kuti umboni wosakayikitsa padziko lonse lapansi komanso wachipembedzo, kuphatikiza mpingo wathu womwe umakonda, ukuwonetsa mosakayikira kwa iwo omwe ali ndi maulosi a chikhulupiriro chathu kuti sitima yabwino ya Zion yayandikira ku Harbor. Tsopano tikuyenda pakati pa matanthwe a kusakhulupirika ndi kukonda chuma pamaso pathu.

Kuti tikwaniritse cholinga cha Mulungu pa kukhalapo kwathu, tiyenera tsopano kukwera m’ngalawa ya Harbor Pilot ndi kumaliza ulendowo. Zaka zoposa 17 zapitazo amuna ndi akazi ochepa oopa Mulungu komanso okonda Khristu adalumikizana pamodzi mu chiyanjano chopatulika kuti akhazikitse mpingo womwe pambuyo pake unadzadziwika padziko lonse lapansi kuti mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist. Mwa kudalira modzichepetsa pa Mulungu kuti akwaniritse mkati mwawo ndi kupyolera mwa iwo ntchito yosatheka mwa umunthu iwo anakwaniritsa pemphero la Woyendetsa ndege, Kuti onse akhale amodzi; monga Inu, Atate, muli mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa Inu, kuti iwonso akakhale amodzi mwa Ife: kuti dziko likakhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine. Yohane 21:XNUMX

M’kupita kwa zaka ndi kuloŵerera kwa mamembala padziko lonse lapansi mgwirizano wa mtima ndi maganizo umenewu wachepa kufikira mu 1952, Mkulu RA Anderson, polankhula pa Msonkhano wa Baibulo ku Washington, DC, anafotokoza poyera kuti atsogoleri a tchalitchi chathu ali ndi nkhaŵa yoti achite msonkhano wotero kuopera kuti msonkhanowo ungagawike ndi magulu otsutsa.

Masiku ano chomangira cha umodzi ndi chiyanjano pakati pa mikhalidwe yathu pamaziko a umodzi ndi Khristu yemweyo ndi Ambuye ndi chofooka kwambiri kotero kuti ulamuliro wa tchalitchi ndi nkhanza zanzeru ndi zauzimu zatenga malo a umodzi wa Mzimu mu chomangira cha mtendere.

Nkhani yomwe ilipo lero ndi nkhani ya ufulu wachipembedzo mkati mwa mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist.

Mkulu HL Rudy, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti wa Msonkhano Waukulu, wapereka mfundo zotsatirazi m'nkhani yake, Mphatso ya Ufulu, yomwe inaperekedwa mu kapepala kwa akulu a tchalitchi pa Tsiku la Ufulu wa Chipembedzo, Sabata, January 17, 1959:

“Pakati pa ufulu umene anthu amaukonda kwambiri ndipo amavutikira kuupeza, ndi ufulu wotsatira chikumbumtima. Ufulu umenewu umapereka ulemu kwa munthu pamene ali nawo. Popanda izo ubwino wa moyo wa munthu kulibe. Munthu sangakane ufulu wake ngati akufuna kusunga ulemu wake monga cholengedwa chopangidwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu. Komanso alibe ufulu wokana kwa ena.

"Kukakamizika kwamalingaliro komwe kudabwera chifukwa cha mabodza ambiri kwamupangitsa kuti asiye kudziganizira yekha, kusiya kuganiza mwanzeru. Sanaphunzitsidwe ku ufulu.

“Ufulu ndi wofunika kwa okhawo amene sakhutira kuganiza monga akuuzidwa. Anthu ambiri sanadzizindikire okha ngati anthu omasuka, onyamula mwa iwo okha ulemu ndi ulemu waufulu. Munthu waufulu samangokonda ufulu koma amautsimikiziranso kwa ena.

“Choonadi chimafuna ufulu, kwa iye amene amachiulula ndi kwa enanso. Kulekerera kwachipembedzo kumavomereza mfundo yakuti chowonadi chilibe malire, ndipo chimatha kutsegula malingaliro opanda malire m’maganizo.”

M'kutsutsa kwachindunji ndi kokwezeka kwa malingaliro olemekezeka ndi okwezekawa omwe ndangofotokoza zomwe ndikufuna ndifotokoze zikuwonetsa kuti Akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu akuphwanya mfundo za ufulu wachipembedzo ndikunyoza malingaliro aulemerero omwe adanenedwa ndi wachiwiri kwa purezidenti.

Kuyambiranso Kwachidule kwa Wieland-Short Representations

Popeza inu abale munalandirapo kale makope a makalata anga opita kwa Akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu pansi pa madeti a November 21, 1958, ndi January 9, 1959, ndipo chifukwa cha kufupika kwa nthawi imene ndapempha pamaso panu, sindidzabwerezanso kwautali zowona zomwe zili m’makalatawo koma ndingotenga njira yaifupi kuti ndifotokoze mfundo yanga yaifupi.

Mu June (July) wa 1950, Elder HJ Wieland ndi Elder DK Short adalemba zolemba kwa Akuluakulu a General Conference pa nthawi ya msonkhano wa General Conference ku San Francisco.

On July 11, 1950 , abale ameneŵa analemba mbali zina motere:

“Mawu olimbikitsa a Purezidenti usiku watha, akutiitana ife kuti tisunge chikhulupiriro chomwe chinaperekedwa kamodzi kwa oyera mtima, ndikulankhula molunjika pochiteteza, ndizovuta. Poganizira izi, ndikofunikira kuti tidziwe bwino zomwe ziyenera kutetezedwa, chifukwa pali chisokonezo chachikulu pakati pathu lero.

Chisokonezo chimenechi chinaonekera m’kulalikira “kokhazikika kwa Kristu” komwe kunalimbikitsidwa mobwerezabwereza m’misonkhano ya Ministerial Association ya masiku anayi apitawa. Misonkhano imeneyi imayenera kukhazikitsa maziko a chitsitsimutso champhamvu pakati pa anthu a Mulungu pa msonkhano wa General Conference. Kulalikira “kokhazikika pa Kristu” uku akuyembekezeredwa ndi omuchirikiza ake kubweretsa kukonzanso kwakukulu pakati pa antchito a Seventh-day Adventist padziko lonse lapansi.

Palibe aliyense kwa kamphindi anganyoze kulalikira kwa Kristu wowona monga phata la mauthenga a angelo atatuwo. Komabe, m’chipwirikiti chimenechi, sikunadziwike kuti ulaliki wochuluka wotchedwa “wokhazikika pa Kristu” ulidi weniweni. otsutsa-Khristu chabe kulalikira kokhazikika. Zimakhudza kwambiri zotsatira za gawoli la General Conference. Kunena zotere ku General Conference Committee kumveka ngati kosangalatsa. Koma zinthu zodabwitsa si zimene mpingo wa m’masiku otsiriza umayembekezera.

Pa nthawi ya msonkhano wa General Conference palibe malingaliro ovomerezeka omwe adaperekedwa ku nkhani ya Wieland- Short oimira. Pambuyo pake ku Washington, DC amuna ameneŵa anakaonekera pamaso pa komiti panthaŵi imene nkhani zolembedwa ndi zongolankhula zinaperekedwa.

Wieland ndi Short adafunsidwa kuti apitirize kulemba mikangano yawo ndipo zolembazo, "1888 Re-Examination" zinali zotsatira. Iwo adabwerera ku gawo lawo laumishonale ku Africa ndipo Komiti ya Defense Literature inafunsidwa kuti ipereke lipoti lovomerezeka pa oimira Wieland ndi Short.

Mu lipoti ili lomwe linatulutsidwa mu 1951, Akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu adakana kusanthula kwa gawo la Msonkhano wa Minneapolis wa 1888 umene Wieland ndi Short adapanga m'mabuku awo ndipo anakana zoneneza zabodza za khristu za amuna awa powatchula kuti akunyoza utumiki wa Adventist.

Mu lipoti ili la General Conference kusalankhulapo pankhaniyi kunali kwa Wieland ndi Short ndi Akuluakulu.

Zokwiyitsa kwambiri abale a ku Washington, makope a malembo apamanjawo anagulitsidwa ndi Wieland ndi Short kwa ena mwa mabwenzi awo apamtima asanapite kumunda wawo waumishonale ndipo Komiti isanakhale ndi nthaŵi yopereka lipoti lake lovomerezeka.

Chigamulo chovomerezeka chikadziwitsidwa kwa olembawo adatsatira kwathunthu ndikupewa kusokoneza kulikonse kwa nkhaniyi. Komabe, makope ochepa omwe analipo adachulukitsidwa kambirimbiri mzaka zotsatira ndi a Seventh-day Adventist odalirika nthawi zina ngakhale pansi pa mphuno ya oyang'anira otsutsa ndipo uthenga wa chikalatacho udamveka. Kulandiridwa kwake kunali kosiyanasiyana, koma anthu ochepa chabe mu mpingo akhulupirira kuti ndi uthenga wa choonadi wotumizidwa ndi Mulungu pa nthawi yovuta kwambiri. .

Pa January 16, 1959, Mlembi wa Msonkhano Waukulu analemba ponena za chikalatachi kuti: “Ambiri m’magawo athu ndi m’mabungwe athu alingalira za nkhaniyi ndipo malingaliro ambiri aperekedwa kwa ife.

Mgwirizano wa Wopempha Kuvuto

Pafupifupi zaka zinayi zapitazo pepalalo linabwera kwa ine kuchokera kwa mtumiki mnzanga. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo ndakhala ndikulimbana ndi akuluakulu a General Conference kuti kuwunika kwawo kwa Wieland ndi Short kunali kolakwika ndipo lipoti loyamba lovomerezeka silingatheke.

Pa February 28, 1958, ndinapereka Chidandaulo ndi Pempho kwa akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu wokhudzana ndi nkhani ya gawo la Barnhouse-Martin ndipo ndinachirikiza Chidandaulocho ndi Mwachidule. Mwachidule ichi ndidanenanso zolembedwa pamanja za Wieland-Short pa p. 30 motere:

“Zolemba pamanjazi zidalembedwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zapitazo ndipo zidaperekedwa kwa maofisala a General Conference. Zolemba pamanja, zilembo zoyambilira ndi maimidwe aumwini okhudzana ndi izi zinali zowawa kwambiri kuti akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu sangathe kumeza; ngakhale mawu awa a Yesu kwa Petro anali aakulu kwambiri kwa iye kuti asathe kuwameza. Iye sakanakhoza kukana choonadi cha mawu a Mpulumutsi, koma iye sanawamvetse iwo ndipo chotero sanakhulupirire kapena kupindula nawo. Momwemonso, akuluakulu a General Conference sanathe kukana choonadi cha maudindo omwe atengedwa ndi Wieland ndi Short; sanathe kuzisanthula molondola, ndipo motero anakana kuzikhulupirira ndi kupindula nazo.”

Apolisiwo anakana kumvetsera kwa mtundu uliwonse pa Madandaulowo koma analemba nkhani kuti alembe yankho ku Madandaulowo popanda kundipatsa mpata wondichonderera nkomwe. Ena a inu muli ndi yankho lomwe akuti yankho ku mfundo zina zomwe zikuwonekera mu Chidule chothandizira madandaulo anga.

Koma yankho lolingaliridwa limeneli linali theka chabe la yankho la apolisiwo. Theka lina liyenera kukhala ndi kulingalira kwachiwiri kwa malembo apamanja a Wieland-Short.

Mu September, 1958, lipoti lachiŵiri limeneli linatulutsidwa ndipo kope linatumizidwa kwa ine. Inali ndi mutu wakuti, "Kufufuza Mowonjezereka kwa Zolemba Pamanja, 1888 Kuyesedwanso".

Lipoti lachiwiri linali losakhutiritsa ngati loyamba, kufika pamalingaliro ofanana ndi a lipoti loyamba ndikufika paziganizo zina ngakhale zochepa kwambiri.

Akuluakulu Akukana Kuyankha Mafunso

Pa November 21, 1958, ndinapempha kwa akuluakulu a Msonkhano Waukulu kuti andiyankhe funso la magawo atatu awa:

"Kodi cholinga cha General Conference (a) kupondereza poganizira zosayenera, zoletsedwa ndi zosayenera kukambirana momasuka za bukhu la Wieland-Short ndi zomwe zili m'munda wapadziko lonse; (b) kukakamiza Akuluakulu Wieland ndi Short kusiya maudindo awo kapena kukhala chete ponena za iwo ndi kulemera kwa ulamuliro wanu wa tchalitchi pamene simunathe zaka zisanu ndi zitatu kuchirikiza cholakwika chilichonse chofanana; (c) podziwa kuti mawu omwe atchulidwa pamwambapa kuchokera ku “Kuyesa” ndi abodza, kukakamiza abale Wieland ndi Short kutenga kaimidwe kowonekera motsutsana ndi maofesala a General Conference, bungwe lawo lolemba ntchito, ndi kunena poyera momwe alili?

Apolisiwa adakana kawiri kuyankha funsoli monga momwe adafunsidwa ndipo ndemanga yokhayo yomwe alolera kupereka ndi iyi:

“Abale amalingalira kuti m’mikhalidwe yamakono kuchita kwawo pankhaniyi kuyenera kukhala kwa Abale Wieland ndi Short.”

Inde, iyi ndi njira yaulemu komanso yaukazembe yotiuza ife anthu wamba m'munda kuti si ntchito yathu zomwe zikuchitika ku Washington komanso kuti kutsimikiza kwa chowonadi ndi cholakwika kudzapangidwa ndi amuna omwe akuti ali oyenerera kupanga ziganizo zotere komanso kuti kuyambira pano tiyenera kuvomereza zisankho zawo popanda kufunsa kapena kutsutsa. Udindowu ndi wosavomerezeka kwa ife pamunda. M’mawu a Mkulu Rudy: “Ufulu uli wokondeka kwa awo okhawo osakhutiritsidwa kuganiza monga momwe akuuzira.”

Utsogoleri Siugwiritsa Ntchito Kukweza Mtima Kapena Kukakamiza

Poyankha malingaliro athu oti kukakamiza kapena kukopa angagwiritsidwe ntchito pa Wieland ndi Short ndi apolisi, iwo adayankha mofunikira motere:

“Utsogoleri wa cholinga cha Mulungu sugwiritsa ntchito mawu osyasyalika kapena kuumiriza pochita ndi antchito. Mkhalidwe woterewu ndi wachilendo kwenikweni pakumvetsetsa kwathu udindo wa utsogoleri. Abale Wieland ndi Short ndi antchito odziwa zambiri ndipo apanga zisankho zawo momwe angafunire. Malo omwe amawagwiritsa ntchito angafune kubwera pakumvetsetsana nawo, koma zimenezi sizimakhudzana ndi ‘kusyasyalika’ kapena ‘kukakamiza’.”

Sindikhulupirira kuti mamembala a komiti ya Mgwirizanowu angafune kuti afotokozepo za mawuwa popereka zifanizo zotsutsana ndi izi, koma nonse mukudziwa kuti umboni wotero ukhoza kuperekedwa. Pali misonkhano yosachepera itatu mu Mgwirizano uno yomwe yayesa kuletsa kukambitsirana kwa mfundo zofunika za choonadi chokhudzana ndi nkhani yomwe ilipo mokakamiza.

Tsopano, mwa kufotokoza mwachidule kuyambiranso kwachiduleku, tili ndi zotsatirazi. Atumiki odziŵika odziŵika kuti ndi amtengo wapatali ndiponso okhulupirika akuimba mlandu mpingo wa Remnant kuti umalambira kwambiri Khristu wonyenga. Akuluakulu a General Conference atsimikiza mtima kunyalanyaza ndi kunyoza izi nthawi zonse pansi pa kunyezimira kuti akuziganizira, mumdima wobisala, muchinsinsi cha misonkhano yachinsinsi ndi komiti ku Washington ndikupereka zotsatira kwa ife anthu wamba kuvomereza popanda funso.

Izi sitingathe kuchita.

Zoyenda

Zoyimira za Elders Wieland ndi Short zili mokwanira m'malemba awiri:

(1) Zolemba zawo, "1888 Re-Examined", ndi
(2) Yankho lawo ku lipoti lachiwiri la General Conference pa zolembedwa zawo.

Maimidwe ovomerezeka a General Conference ali mu zolemba ziwiri:

(1) Lipoti loyamba loperekedwa ndi Defense Literature Committee ku 1951;
(2) Kuwunika Kowonjezereka kwa Zolemba Pamanja, "1888 Re-Examination", yotulutsidwa mu Seputembala, 1958.

CHOCHOKERA, pokhulupirira kuti kuletsa kukambirana ndi kufufuza za nkhaniyi yomwe anthu ochepa amakhulupirira kuti ndi uthenga wochokera kwa Mulungu. kuchoka ku mfundo za ufulu wachipembedzo mu mpingo wa Remnant, NDIKUSUNGA Komiti iyi kuti zikalata zomwe zili pamwambazi zikhalepo kwa mamembala a North Pacific Union Conference ndikupereka kufufuza kotseguka, koyenera, koyenera komanso kokwanira pa nkhaniyi.

Pamene ndinayamba ntchito yanga pa mpambo wa nkhani za mizere ya mpando wachifumu, ndinaganiza kuti ndinali pafupi kutha kwa ntchito yanga kwa inu. Tsopano ine ndikuona kuti Mulungu ali nazo zina kwa ine, ndiponso kwa inu, ndipo ine ndikudzipereka ku chifuniro Chake mokondwera. Nkhani yomaliza iyi ya mndandanda wa Throne Line idasindikizidwa kutatsala sabata imodzi msonkhano wa General Conference Session ku Atlanta. Izi sizinangochitika mwangozi, koma sizinali za dongosolo langa. Ine ndikuganiza ilo linali dongosolo la Mulungu.

Pambuyo pa zaka zisanu za kuphunzira motsogozedwa ndi Mulungu, ndinagwira ntchito pafupifupi usana ndi usiku kwa theka la chaka kuti ndifufuze ndi kufalitsa chidziwitso chonsechi pa mawebusaiti kuti muphunzire zomwe Orion ikufuna kutiphunzitsa. Ndithudi munaona kuti maganizo anga ndi kamvedwe kanga ka uthenga wa Orion ndi mipingo inasintha m’kupita kwa nthaŵi pamene ndikugwira ntchitoyo. Mipingo yathu yonse ndi magulu a “mphukira” ali pamavuto, osati mpingo wawukulu wokha. Tonsefe tilibe chikondi chaubale, komanso umodzi m’mipingo yathu ya chikhulupiriro makamaka.

Ndinaphunzira zochuluka chotani nanga mwa kuphunzira kwa Orion—za Yesu, makhalidwe Ake, ndi dongosolo la chipulumutso! Ndikuwona, komabe, kuti chidwi cha uthenga wa Orion chatsika kwambiri kuyambira pomwe zidawonekeratu kuti SALI uthenga wanthawi yoyera, koma uthenga wochenjeza kwa mpingo ndi munthu aliyense kuti akonzekere makhalidwe athu kuti akhale ngati Khristu ndikuphunzira kukhala moyo wopanda uchimo. Koma ndadziwanso ambiri a inu kunja uko omwe simulinso a anamwali ogona, chifukwa kulira "Mkwati akudza” tsopano ikumvekanso kachiwiri ndi komaliza kuchokera ku Orion. Mau a Mulungu alankhula kwa ambiri, ndipo ambiri amvetsetsa ndikusintha miyoyo yawo ndikupezanso chikondi chawo choyamba mwa Yesu. Panthawiyi, ndikukuthokozani chifukwa cha maumboni anu komanso kuti mwandilimbikitsa nthawi zonse pamene ndinkafuna kwambiri!

Tsopano, sindikufunanso kubisa mfundo yakuti pali Adventist ena ku Atlanta omwe analota kale kuti Atlanta iwonongedwa posachedwa. Banja lina linafika pomva “mawu a Mulungu” pamsonkhano wa mapemphero m’nyumba yawo. Onse adafunsidwa kuti agulitse nyumba zawo ndikuchoka ku Atlanta. Izi zikusonyeza kuti chiwonongeko chikhoza kubwera pa Msonkhano Waukulu umene udzasankhidwe ku Atlanta, ndipo ukhoza kutsogolera ku kuyeretsedwa kwa mpingo wathu komwe kwakhala kukuyembekezera.

Ndikuganiza kuti phunziro la Orion ndi nthawi yachitatu komanso yomaliza yomwe mngelo wachinayi amatumizidwa ku Msonkhano Waukulu. Ndinayamba kulengeza kwa Orion mu Januwale 2010, ndipo ndawonetsa mzere wa mpando wachifumu wa 1950 m'mabwalo angapo ndi mndandanda wa ma e-mail kuyambira April. Mtsogoleri aliyense ayenera kuti anazindikira kalekale kuti ndi chenjezo lotani limene Mulungu akupereka pano, chifukwa ife “amembala wamba” sitidziwa kalikonse za mbiri ya mpingo wathu wobisika. Komabe, sipanakhalepo chitapo chabwino chilichonse chochokera kwa utsogoleri—ngakhale mipingo ina iliyonse, ngakhalenso magulu aliwonse a mphukira.

Nthaŵi ino, uthenga wochenjezawo sunaperekedwe ndi abusa aŵiri onga Wagoner ndi Jones, ndipo osati ndi akulu aŵiri onga Wieland ndi Short, koma ndi Mulungu Mwiniwake, amene waika chipilala m’mwamba, chimene akatswiri a zakuthambo amachitcha ngakhale malo okongola koposa m’chilengedwe chonse. Kuti apereke uthenga wochenjeza womaliza umenewu, Mulungu anagwiritsa ntchito mlimi wina wachisoni wa ku South America, yemwe nthawi zonse ankayembekezera ndiponso ankapemphera kuti tchalitchi chake chichiritsidwe n’cholinga choti anthu okhulupirika kwa Mulungu akhalenso omasuka m’mipando ya tchalitchi. Ndine wotsimikiza kuti ngati Msonkhano Waukulu ndi akuluakulu a mpingo akananso kuwalako, Mulungu adzayeretsa nyumba yake ndipo ena adzatsogolera nyumba yake m'masiku otsiriza. Ellen G. White anati:

Mphepo iliyonse ya chiphunzitso idzakhala ikuwomba. Awo amene apereka ulemu waukulu ku “sayansi yotchedwa monama” [zaumulungu, otsutsa apamwamba] sadzakhala atsogoleri panthaŵiyo. Iwo amene adalira luntha, ukadaulo, kapena luso sangayime pamutu paudindo. Iwo sankayendera limodzi ndi kuwalako. Amene asonyeza kukhala osakhulupirika panthaŵiyo sadzaikizidwa m’gulu la nkhosa. Mu ntchito yomaliza yomaliza anthu otchuka ochepa adzakhala otanganidwa. Iwo ali odzidalira, osadalira Mulungu, ndipo Iye sangakhoze kuwagwiritsa ntchito. Ambuye ali ndi atumiki okhulupirika, amene mu kugwedezeka, nthawi mayesero adzawululidwa kuti awone. Pali anthu amtengo wapatali obisika amene sanagwadire bondo kwa Baala. Sadakhale ndi Kuwala komwe kwakhala kukuwala ndi moto wokhazikika pa inu. Bkoma kukhoza kukhala pansi pa khwimbi lakunja ndi losaitanira kunyezimira koyera kwa chikhalidwe chachikhristu chenicheni kudzawululidwa. Masana timayang’ana kumwamba koma sitiona nyenyezi. Zili pamenepo, zokhazikika mumlengalenga, koma diso silingathe kuzisiyanitsa. Usiku tikuwona kuwala kwawo kwenikweni. {Zamgululi}

Mpingo wotsiriza ndiwo Filadelfia, ndipo uli ndi awo amene ali okangalika ndi osalola kuti uthenga umenewu ukanidwenso—uthenga umene tsopano ukubweretsa kuunika kwa mngelo wachinayi kutsika kuchokera ku Orion mpaka ku dziko lapansi nthaŵi yachitatu ndi yotsiriza. Ngati ndi choncho, komabe, ndipo mwatsoka zikuwoneka ngati izo, ndiye kuti Mulungu adzalowererapo ndipo makala, omwe ali pansi pa mawilo a mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu omwe ali otchi ya Orion, adzachita ntchito yoyeretsa mu mpingo Wake:

Pamenepo ndinapenya, ndipo taonani, pathambo limene linali pamwamba pa mitu ya akerubi, munaoneka ngati mwala wa safiro, ngati maonekedwe a mpando wacifumu. Ndipo ananena ndi munthu wobvala bafutayo, nati, Lowa pakati pa njingazi, pansi pa kerubi, ndi kudzaza dzanja lako ndi makala amoto ochokera pakati pa akerubi; ndi kuwabalalitsa m’mudzi. Ndipo analowa pamaso panga. ( Ezekieli 10:1-2 )

Kuyeretsedwa kumeneku ndi uthenga wa Orion, komwe sikuli kanthu kakang'ono kuposa kutsimikizira kwaumulungu kwa uthenga wa 1888 ndi 1950, kudzachitika posachedwa, koma kwa iwo omwe akuyang'anira nyumba ya Mulungu ndikukana mauthenga Ake onse ndikuwatsogolera anthu Ake ku ziphunzitso za Balamu ndi Anikolai ndi kutipereka ife m'manja mwa apapa ndi kupembedza dzuwa kudzavutika:

Ndipo ananditengera m'bwalo lamkati la nyumba ya Yehova, ndipo taonani, pakhomo la Kachisi wa Yehova, pakati pa khonde ndi guwa la nsembe; panali amuna ngati makumi awiri mphambu asanu, ofulatira Kacisi wa Yehova, ndi nkhope zao ku m'mawa; nalambira dzuwa kum’mawa. Pamenepo anati kwa ine, Kodi wachiona ichi, wobadwa ndi munthu iwe? Kodi n’chinthu chopepuka kwa nyumba ya Yuda kuti achite zonyansa zimene akuchita kuno? pakuti adzaza dziko ndi ciwawa, nabwera kudzautsa mkwiyo wanga; Cifukwa cace inenso ndidzachita mwaukali: diso langa silidzalekerera, sindidzachitira chifundo; (Ezekiel 8: 16-18)

Nambala “25” sinangochitika mwangozi, monganso mmene Mawu a Mulungu amangokhalira kuchitika mwangozi. Ndilo chiwerengero chenicheni cha omwe amapanga zisankho zazikulu mu Komiti Yaikulu ya Msonkhano Wachigawo kuyambira kumayambiriro kwa zaka zapitazo. Mamembala ochulukirapo ndi a Executive Committee, koma pafupifupi zisankho zonse zimapangidwa ndi amuna 25 ndendende. Mapangidwe a tchalitchi chathu sali, monga momwe Walter Veith adanena posachedwapa (yemwe ndimalemekeza nthawi zonse monga katswiri wodziwa bwino), wopangidwa kuchokera pansi mpaka pamwamba, koma mosamalitsa "Chikatolika," chomangidwa kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi monga momwe tinaphunzirira kuchokera ku zomwe akulu Hudson, Wieland, ndi Short anapereka. Mawu ochokera pansi alibe kulemera. Mutha kuyang'ana mwachidwi zomwe mungawerenge ndikuphunzira kuchokera ku zolemba zophulika kwambiri zomwe (mwachiyembekezo) zidzapezeka pano posachedwa. Amaphatikizapo mauthenga odabwitsa ndipo ali ndi kuwala kochuluka!

Chifukwa chake, abale okondedwa, sonyezani kuwala kwanu, ndipo musakuike pansi pa mbiya! Landirani mawu olimbikitsa a Mzimu wa Uneneri, amene akunenanso momveka bwino kuti chipulumutso chathu chili m'manja mwa Yesu, koma tiyenera kutenga nawo mbali mwachangu. Mbiri imadzibwereza yokha, ndipo nthawi ino Kumwamba ndi kotsimikizika. Yeriko wathu ayenera kugwa tsopano, ngati ife tikufuna kuti potsiriza tifike kwathu...

Kuwala kwa Choonadi

Komabe, maziko a Mulungu ali okhazikika. Ambuye adziwa iwo amene ali Ake. Mtumiki woyeretsedwa sayenera kukhala ndi chinyengo mkamwa mwake. Ayenera kukhala wotseguka ngati tsiku, womasuka ku zoyipa zilizonse. Utumiki woyeretsedwa ndi makina osindikizira zidzakhala mphamvu pakuwunikira kuwala kwa choonadi pa m'badwo wopulupudza uno. Kuwala, abale, tikusowa kuwala. Limbani lipenga mu Ziyoni; lizani mfuu m'phiri lopatulika. Sonkhanitsani khamu la Ambuye, ndi mitima yopatulika, kuti amve chimene Yehova adzanena kwa anthu ake; pakuti waonjezera kuunika kwa onse amene akumva.  + Iwo akhale ndi zida + ndi zida, + ndipo akwere kunkhondo, + kuti athandize Yehova pomenyana ndi amphamvu. Mulungu mwini adzagwira ntchito kwa Israeli. Lilime lililonse labodza lidzatsekedwa. Manja a angelo adzawononga ziwembu zachinyengo zimene zikupangidwa. Mpanda wa Satana sudzapambana. Kupambana kudzapezeka pa uthenga wa mngelo wachitatu. Monga Kapitao wa gulu lankhondo la Yehova anagwetsa malinga a Yeriko, momwemonso anthu osunga malamulo a Yehova adzapambana, ndipo mbali zonse zotsutsana nazo zidzagonjetsedwa. Munthu aliyense asadandaule za atumiki a Mulungu amene abwera kwa iwo ndi uthenga wopita kumwamba. Musatengenso zolakwa mwa izo, ndi kunena kuti, “Izo ndi zabwino kwambiri; amalankhula mwamphamvu kwambiri.” Akhoza kuyankhula mwamphamvu; koma sikufunika? Mulungu adzawawitsa makutu a omvera ngati samvera mau ake kapena uthenga wake. Iye adzawatsutsa iwo amene amatsutsa mawu a Mulungu. {TM 410.1 pa}
