Malunga nemizuzu elishumi emva kokuba ndipapashe inqaku lam lokugqibela, Isipho seZulu, eyona nto imalunga noMhla weSibini weCawa ye-Ecumenical eMunich ukususela ngoMeyi 12 - 16, 2010, kunye "nokutyhilwa kwesigidimi sasezulwini ngeCawa" ngoLwesine ngoMeyi 13, ndafumana isithuba esinomdla esivela kwiJamani. Inkonzo ye-Adventist Press, i-APD kwilaptop yam:
Ama-Adventist athatha inxaxheba kuSuku lweCawa eMunich
EMunich/eJamani ngoMeyi 10, 2010/APD
Phantse iziganeko ze-3000 zibandakanyiwe kwiprogram ye-720 ye-Second Ecumenical Church Congress, eyenzeka eMunich, ngoMeyi 12-16, phantsi komxholo weBhayibhile "Ukuze ube nethemba". I-Seventh-day Adventist Church iya kubakho kwisiganeko esikhulu, apho kulindeleke ukuba abantu abangaphezu kwe-100,000 bathathe inxaxheba ngokusisigxina. NgoLwesine, ngoMeyi 13, phakathi kwentsimbi yesi-2:00 emva kwemini neyesi-3:30 emva kwemini, incoko “Into endiyithandayo ngawe-ukubonisa ukunqumla iimvaba” senzeka kumabala oMboniso kwindawo yokusebenzela yeHolo B0. Iza kuzinyaswa ngumfundisi weCawa ye-Evangelical Reformed yobudikoni kunye ne-ecumenism, uDietmar Arends (Leer), UGqr. John Hartlapp, umhlohli kwimbali yecawe, ifilosofi, i-ecumenism, kunye nembali yenkolo evela kwiKholeji yezeNkolo yaseFriedensau Adventist kufuphi naseMagdeburg., kunye nonjingalwazi oncedisayo wemfundiso yezakwalizwi nemfundiso yecawa kwiCatholic Theological Faculty yeyunivesithi yaseTübingen, uGqr. Anne Marie Mayer. Ukumodareyitha kuya kwenziwa nguMfundisi uGqr. Maria Stettner, uMcebisi wezakwalizwi kwi-Ofisi yooBhishophu boMmandla beCawa yeVangeli yamaLuthere kwisangqa secawe yaseNuremberg.
Kwi-"Agora" kumabala omboniso, i Icawa yeSabatha yamaSabatha eBavaria ibonelela ngolwazi phantsi kwesaci esithi "Ukuba ngumKristu kubomi bemihla ngemihla" (Iholo A5, iBooth I33), kunye Adventist Theological College Friedensau kufuphi neMagdeburg kwi "Imfundo kunye neMpilo" (iHolo B6, iBooth J12). I I-Arhente yoPhuhliso lwama-Adventist kunye noNcedo, iADRA, ikwamelwe kunye nendlwana yokubonisa (Iholo B4, iBooth D28). Kwi "media miles" i I-Adventist Media Centre "iVoice of Hope" ibonisa inkqubo yayo yerediyo kunye nomabonwakude, "I-Hope Channel" (Iholo B3, iBooth M01).
I-Seventh-day Adventist Church imema abazimasi kwiinkonzo zonqulo nge UMgqibelo, NgoMeyi 14 ukususela ngentsimbi yesi-6 ngokuhlwa ukuya kweyesi-7:30 ngokuhlwa Kumabandla amaSabatha aseMunich-Nymphenburg, eTizian Road 18, naseMunich-Pasing, eBodensee Road 61, kuqhutywa iSidlo seNkosi sokuhlanjwa kweenyawo, yaye kwibandla lamaSabatha eMunich-Isartal, Isartal Road 40, kuya kuqhutywa inkonzo yobhaptizo.
Ukongeza kumxholo obanzi, inkqubo yonqulo neyenkcubeko, iNkongolo yesiBini yeCawa yeCawa eMunich ibonelela abatyeleli ngoluhlu olunzulu lweengcebiso zengqondo, ukhathalelo lokwalusa kunye nesikhokelo somoya ngabacebisi abamalunga ne-90. besuka kwiimvaba ngeemvaba. Iingxabano zomntu, izigqibo zobomi, amava okubandezeleka okanye iimeko ezingxamisekileyo zangempela zinokuqwalaselwa kwiingxoxo zomntu okanye zeqela kunye nokuhamba ngokomoya. Abacebisi baquka i zengqondo Matthias kunye Ulrike Dauenhauer ukusuka Reutlingen. Ulilungu leBandla lamaSabatha, inkosikazi yakhe kwi-Independent Evangelical-Lutheran Church.
Icawa yamaProtestanti yeSeventh-day Adventist imelwe kwinqanaba likazwelonke nguMbutho weBhayibhile waseJamani, iAssociation of Evangelical Free Churches (VEF) kunye neBhunga leeCawa zamaKristu eJamani (ACK). ESwitzerland, iCawa yasimahla isebenza kwimibutho yamacanton eecawa zamaKristu eAargau, Basel Land, Basel-Stadt, Schaffhausen naseZurich. kwaye ulilungu leSwiss Bible Society.
Enjani yona “inkqubo echaseneyo” naloo manqaku ndiwabhalileyo, ahlaselwe kanobom leli bandla lalisakuba “lama-Adventist”! Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba ngenene siphenjelelwa yinkonzo yethu yama-Adventist Press ukuba sizimase nge-13 kaMeyi, ukubonisa indlela esikhonza ngayo kunye nokuba sonke sinokuyiqonda into eyinyani. isipho sezulu yi. Kutheni le nto thina ma-Adventist sifanele sizizimase ezi ziganeko, ezibandakanya kuphela imicimbi yokuhlazisa nokugculela uThixo wethu nemini yakhe yokuphumla, eya kuthi ekugqibeleni izise intshutshiso kubantu baKhe? Ngaba yonke iCawa yama-Adventist ngoku ayinyanisekanga ngokupheleleyo, okanye ngaba ezi ziinkokeli nje? Kwaye kutheni icawa ingasabeli ukuba ifana noWalter Veith YouTube, ukuba sibe nesakhiwo esisezantsi-phezulu kwaye iinxalenye zecawa kuphela ziya kuba lihenyukazi kodwa zange ibandla lonke? Noko ke, andinawo amazwi okuchaza ukungavisisani kwam! Ke ngoko, ukusukela ngoku ukuya phambili ndiya kusebenzisa ibhayibhile kunye noMoya weSiprofetho ukuphawula kobu bungqina bowexuko oloyikekayo. Oku kufuneka kukhokelela kwihlazo lokucoca ngokukhawuleza ngokwenene. Mna, ubuncinci, ndifuna ukufumana impendulo kumbuzo othi: Ngubani "i-ecumenical Adventist"?
1. Umanyano lweecawe—i-Ecumenism—luphawu lokuphela kwehlabathi
Sathi ngomhla wesabatha, saphuma saya ngaphandle komzi ngasemlanjeni, apho kuthandazwa khona; sahlala phantsi, sathetha kubafazi ababebuthelene khona. Kwaye kuphulaphula intokazi ethile egama linguLidiya, umthengisi weengubo ezibomvu, womzi weTiyatira, emhlonelayo uThixo, entliziyo yayivulayo iNkosi ukuba izinyamekele izinto ezazithethwa nguPawulos. Kwaye xa wabhaptizwayo nendlu yakhe, wasibongoza esithi, Ukuba nithi ndithembekile eNkosini, ngenani endlwini yam, nihlale khona. Wasinyanzela. (Izenzo 16: 13-15)
Umqondiso wokuba isiphelo sikufuphi
Ngommiselo onyanzelisa ukumiselwa kobupopu ukwaphula umthetho kaThixo, isizwe sethu siya kuziqhawula ngokupheleleyo ebulungiseni. Xa ubuProtestanti buya kusolula isandla sawo ngaphaya komngxuma ukubamba isandla segunya lamaRoma, xa iya kufikelela ngaphaya kwenzonzobila ukuze ibambe izandla ngemimoya, xa, phantsi kwempembelelo yolu manyano luntlu-ntathu, ilizwe lethu liya kuyigatya yonke imigaqo yoMgaqo-siseko walo njengorhulumente wamaProtestanti noweriphabliki, yaye liya kwenza ilungiselelo lokusasazwa kobuxoki neenkohliso zikapopu; sandule ke sazi ukuba lifikile ixesha lokusebenza okumangalisayo kukaSathana nokuba isiphelo sikufuphi. {5T451.1}
2. UThixo uyakwalela ukumanyana nabachasi benyaniso
Xa athe uYehova uThixo wakho wakungenisa kulo ilizwe, oya kulo ukuba ulihluthe, wagqogqa iintlanga ezininzi phambi kwakho, amaHeti, namaGirgashi, nama-Amori, namaKanan, namaPerizi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, iintlanga ezisixhenxe, ezinkulu, ezinamandla kunawe; wazinikela kuwe uYehova uThixo wakho; uze ubaxabele, ubasingele phantsi; uze ungenzi mnqophiso nazo, ungabi nanceba kubo: Uze ungendiselani nabo; intombi yakho uze ungayiniki unyana wakhe, intombi yakhe ungayizekeli unyana wakho. kuba yomtyekisa unyana wakho angandilandeli, bakhonze thixo bambi, uvuthe umsindo kaYehova kuni, akutshabalalise kamsinya. Ke yenjenje kubo; nizidilize izibingelelo zabo, niziqhekeze izimiso zabo zamatye, nibagawule ooAshera bazo, niyitshise ngomlilo imifanekiso yazo eqingqiweyo. Ngokuba ningabantu abangcwele kuYehova uThixo wenu; uninyule uYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba nibe ngabantu abayinqobo kuye, kunabantu bonke abaphezu komhlaba. Akanithandanga uYehova, akaninyulanga, ngokuba benibaninzi kunezinye izizwe; + kuba benimbalwa kubantu bonke, + ngenxa enokuba uYehova enithandile, + nangokusigcina kwakhe isifungo awasifungela ooyihlo, le nto anikhuphe ngesandla esithe nkqi uYehova, + wanikhulula ngentlawulelo endlwini yamakhoboka, esandleni sikaFaro ukumkani waseYiputa. Yazi ke, ukuba uYehova uThixo wakho nguye uThixo, uThixo wenyaniso, obagcinelayo umnqophiso nenceba abamthandayo, abayigcinayo imithetho yakhe, ase ewakeni lezizukulwana; ( Duteronomi 7:1-9 )
Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yoothixo bazo woyitshisa ngomlilo; uze ungayinqweneli isilivere negolide ekuzo, ungayithabatheli kuwe, kuba ngumgibe kuyo; ngokuba lisikizi kuYehova uThixo wakho. Uze ungalingenisi isikizi endlwini yakho, ukuze ungabi yinto yokusingelwa phantsi njengalo. Ize ibe nezothe, ibe linyala kuwe, ibe lisikizi kuwe; ngokuba iyinto esingelwe phantsi. ( Duteronomi 7:25-26 )
Ngokuba, ndisencotsheni yamawa, ndiyambona; yabona, abantu bahlala bodwa, Ababalelwa phakathi kweentlanga. ( Numeri 23:9 )
Bathumela kum ooSanebhalati noGeshem, besithi, yiza sidibane kwenye yeelali ezikwithafa laseOno. Ke bona babecinga ukundenza ububi. Ndathumela abathunywa kubo, ndathi. Ndenza umsebenzi omkhulu, andinakuhla; yini na ukuba ume umsebenzi lo, ngokuthi ndiwuyeke, ndihle ndize kuni? ( Nehemiya 6:2-3 )
Ize ningathi, Ikukucetywa; [ecumenism], kubo bonke abo bathi kubo aba bantu, Liyelenqe [ecumenism]; ningoyiki ngokoyikwa kwabo, ningoyiki. (UIsaya 8: 12)
ezi [abali-144,000] ngabo abangadyobhekanga ngabafazi [ezinye iicawe zecawa]; ngokuba banyulu. Aba ngabo bayilandelayo iMvana apho isukuba isiya khona. Aba bathengwa bephuma ebantwini, baziintlahlela kuye uThixo nakuyo iMvana. (ISityhilelo 14: 4)
Ndabona kuphuma emlonyeni wenamba oomoya abangcolileyo abathathu, befana namasele [ukusebenzelana nemimoya, intshukumo yesiZukulwana esitsha], nasemlonyeni werhamncwa [upopu], nasemlonyeni womprofeti wobuxoki [UbuProtestanti kukreqo, i-ecumenism]. Kuba bangoomoya beedemon, besenza imiqondiso; abaphuma baye kubo ookumkani bomhlaba, nabelimiweyo liphela, ukubahlanganisela emfazweni yaloo mini inkulu kaThixo, uSomandla. (Isityhilelo 16: 13-14)
3. Uthumo lwabantu beAdvent kunye ne-ecumenism
Ndabona esinye isithunywa sezulu, siphaphazela esazulwini samazulu, sineendaba ezilungileyo ezingunaphakade, ukuba sizishumayele kwabo bemiyo phezu komhlaba, nakwiintlanga zonke, nezizwe, neelwimi, nabantu, sisithi ngezwi elikhulu. Moyikeni uThixo, nimzukise; ngokuba lifikile ilixa lokugweba kwakhe; nimnqule lowo wenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi. Kwaza kwalandela esinye isithunywa sezulu, sisithi. Iwile, iwile iBhabheli, loo mzi mkhulu, ngokuba iseze zonke iintlanga ngewayini yomsindo wobuhenyu bayo. Saza esesithathu isithunywa sazilandela, sisithi ngezwi elikhulu. Ukuba umntu uthe walinqula irhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo, wamkela uphawu lwalo ebunzini lakhe, nokuba kusesandleni sakhe, yena lowo uya kusela iwayini yomsindo kaThixo, egalelwe indebe yomsindo wakhe, ingephithikezwe; uya kuthuthunjiswa ngomlilo nesulfure, phambi kwezithunywa ezingcwele, naphambi kweMvana: Umsi wokuthuthunjelwa kwabo unyuka use emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni; Nalu unyamezelo lwabangcwele, naba abayigcinayo imithetho kaThixo nokukholwa kuYesu. ( ISityhilelo 14:6-12 )
UThixo ubize ibandla laKhe ngalo mhla, njengoko wabiza uSirayeli wamandulo, ukuba lime njengokukhanya emhlabeni. ngayo iingcweti zenyaniso, nesigidimi esokuqala, nesesibini, nesesithathu, Uye wabahlula emabandleni nasehlabathini ukubazisa kukusondela okungcwele kuYe. Ubenze baba ngabagcini bomthetho waKhe kwaye uzinikele kubo iinyaniso ezinkulu zesiprofetho ngeli xesha. Njengezihlabo ezingcwele ezazinikelwe kuSirayeli wamandulo, ezi ziyi intembeko engcwele ukunxibelelana nehlabathi. Izithunywa zezulu ezithathu zeSityhilelo 14 zimela abantu abamkela ukukhanya kwezigidimi zikaThixo baze baphume njengabathunywa Bakhe ukuze bavakalise isilumkiso kubo bonke ubude nobubanzi bomhlaba. {5T455.2}
Ndaboniswa imfuneko kwabo bakholwayo ukuba sinomyalezo wokugqibela wenceba; ukwahluka kwabo basoloko befaka iimpazamo ezintsha mihla le. Ndabona ukuba akukho mncinane okanye mdala ufanele abekho kwiintlanganiso zawo; kuba akulunganga ukubakhuthaza ngolo hlobo ngoxa befundisa imposiso eyityhefu ebulalayo emphefumlweni baze bafundise iimfundiso eziyimithetho yabantu. Impembelelo yeendibano ezinjalo ayintle. Ukuba uThixo usihlangule kobo bumnyama nemposiso, kufuneka sime siqinile kwinkululeko asikhulule ngayo kwaye sivuye enyanisweni. UThixo akakholiswa sithi xa sisiya kuphulaphula impazamo, singanyanzelekanga ukuba sihambe; kuba ngaphandle kokuba Usithumele kwezo ntlanganiso apho impazamo inyanzeliswa ekhaya ebantwini ngamandla entando, Akasayi kusigcina. Iingelosi ziyayiyeka inyameko yazo yokusilinda, kwaye thina sishiywe ekubetheni utshaba, ukuba sibe mnyama kwaye senziwe buthathaka nguye namandla ezithunywa zakhe ezikhohlakeleyo; yaye ukukhanya okusingqongileyo kungcoliswa bubumnyama. {EW 124.3}
Lwathi ulungiselelo lukaYesu lwavalekayo kwindawo engcwele, waza wadlulela kweyona ngcwele, wema phambi kwetyeya enomthetho kaThixo, wathumela esinye isithunywa esinamandla esinomyalezo wesithathu ehlabathini. Iphepha lesikhumba labekwa esandleni sesithunywa sezulu, saza njengoko sasihla emhlabeni sinamandla nobungangamsha, savakalisa isilumkiso esoyikekayo, ngesona sisoyikiso soyikekayo esakha sathwalwa umntu. Lo myalezo wawulungiselelwe ukubeka abantwana bakaThixo phezu kwabo, ngokubabonisa ilixa lokuhendwa nembandezelo oko kwakuphambi kwabo. Sathi isithunywa, “Baya kulwa nerhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo. Ekuphela kwethemba labo lobomi obungunaphakade kukuhlala beqinile. Nangona ubomi babo busesichengeni, bamele babambelele nkqi enyanisweni.” {EW 254.1}
Kwesi sicatshulwa singentla sibona inkcazo emangalisayo evela ku-Ellen G. White ukuba "siya kuboniswa iyure yokuhendwa nokukhathazeka", engeyiyo enye into ngaphandle kwexesha lethu lentshutshiso. Ngaba la magama ayenzeka nje ngamabona-ndenzile kwakhona?
Akukho KuManyano Nabo Bayichasayo INyaniso.--Abalindi basezindongeni zaseZiyon mabangazibandakanyi nabo bangayiphuthiyo inyaniso njengoko injalo kuKristu. Mabangatheleli umanyano lokunganyaniseki, ubupopu, nobuProtestanti ekuphakamiseni isithethe ngaphezu kweSibhalo, ukuqiqa ngaphezu kwesityhilelo, nesiphiwo somntu ngaphezu kwempembelelo yobuthixo namandla abalulekileyo okuhlonela uThixo. (RH Matshi 24, 1896). {4BC 1141.7}
Lo mbuzo usenokubuzwa, Ngaba asifanele singamanyana kwanto nje nehlabathi? Ilizwi leNkosi liya kuba ngumkhokeli wethu. Nakuphi na ukudityaniswa kwabangakholwayo nabangakholwayo okunokusidibanisa nabo, kwalelwe liLizwi. Simele siphume phakathi kwabo, sahlule. Nakanye ukuba singazinxulumanisi nabo kwizicwangciso zabo zokusebenza. {GW 394.1}
INkosi isikhethe yaza yasenza abalawulwa benceba Yayo emangalisayo. Ngaba siya kuchukunyiswa ziintetho zabawexuki? Ngaba siya kukhetha ukuma noSathana nomkhosi wakhe? Ngaba siya kubandakanywa nabanxaxhayo bomthetho kaThixo? Kunoko mayibe ngumthandazo wethu othi: “Nkosi, beka ubutshaba phakathi kwam nenyoka.” {4T595.5}
Kodwa ukukhanya nobumnyama azinakuvumelana. Phakathi kwenyaniso nemposiso kukho impixano engenakuthintelwa. Ukuxhasa nokukhusela enye kukuhlasela nokubhukuqa enye. UMsindisi wethu ngokwakhe wathi: “Andizanga kuthumela uxolo, kodwa ikrele.” Mateyu 10:34 . {GC 126.3}
4. Amabandla awileyo aya kumanyana
Abafazi abasixhenxe ngaloo mini [iicawe] iya kubambelela ndodeni-nye [Ukholo], besithi, Sodla esethu isonka, sambathe ezethu iingubo; kodwa masibizwe ngegama lakho. ukuze asuse ukungcikiveka kwethu. (UIsaya 4: 1)
Ndabona kuphuma emlonyeni wenamba, nasemlonyeni werhamncwa, nasemlonyeni womprofeti wobuxoki, oomoya abathathu abangcolileyo, befana namasele. (ISityhilelo 16:13)
Imithombo ephuma kuyo aba moya, ibonisa ukuba baya kusebenza phakathi kwamaqela amathathu amakhulu onqulo loluntu, amelwa yinamba, irhamncwa, nomprofeti wobuxoki, okanye ubuhedeni [ukusebenzelana nemimoya, isiZukulwana esitsha], Inkolo yamaRoma Katolika [upopu], nobuProtestanti obuwexukileyo [ecumenism]. {UDaniyeli kunye nesiTyhilelo ngu-Uriah Smith, iphe. 283}
Ngeziphoso ezimbini ezinkulu, i ukungafi komphefumlo kwaye Ubungcwele bangeCawe, uSathana uya kubafaka abantu phantsi kweenkohliso zakhe. Ngelixa owokuqala ubeka isiseko se ngokomoya, le yokugqibela yenza a ikhonkco lovelwano kunye neRoma. AmaProtestanti aseUnited States aya kuba ngawona aphambili ekoluleni izandla zawo ngaphaya kwelo gophe ukuze abambe isandla sokusebenzelana nemimoya; baya kufikelela ngaphaya kwenzonzobila ukuze babambe izandla ngamandla amaRoma; yaye phantsi kwempembelelo yolu manyano zintathu, eli lizwe liya kulandela emanyathelweni aseRoma ekunyatheleni phantsi amalungelo esazela. {GC 588.1}
Umahluko phakathi kwabo bazibanga bengamaKristu nabo bangahloneli Thixo awusakwazi ukwahlula. Amalungu eBandla athanda into ethandwa lihlabathi bekulungele ukuzibandakanya nabo, ube ke uSathana egqiba ukuba amamanyane nabo, babe mzimbeni mnye aze ngaloo ndlela omeleze injongo yakhe ngokutshayela bonke kwizintlu zokusebenzelana nemimoya. Abalandeli bakaPapi, abaqhayisa ngemimangaliso njengomqondiso othile webandla lokwenyaniso, baya kukhohliswa ngokukhawuleza ngala mandla amangalisayo; namaProtestanti, eyilahla ingweletshetshe yenyaniso, aya kukhohliswa nawo. AmaPapi, namaProtestanti, nabehlabathi baya kuyamkela ngokufanayo imo yokuhlonela uThixo ngaphandle kwamandla; yaye baya kubona kolu manyano intshukumo ezukileyo yokuguqulwa kwehlabathi nokungeniswa kwewaka leminyaka ekudala lilindelwe. {GC 588.3}
Kwaye uSathana uzimanya namaProtestanti namaPapist, esebenza kunye nabo njengothixo weli hlabathi, eyalela abantu ngokungathi bangabalawulwa bobukumkani bakhe, ukuba baphathwe baze balawulwe yaye balawulwe ngendlela athanda ngayo. {Mar 191.2}
Xa ubuProtestanti buya kusolula isandla sawo ngaphaya komngxuma ukubamba isandla segunya lamaRoma, xa iya kufikelela ngaphaya kwenzonzobila ukuze ibambe izandla ngemimoya, xa, phantsi kwempembelelo yolu manyano luntlu-ntathu, ilizwe lethu liya kuyigatya yonke imigaqo yoMgaqo-siseko walo njengorhulumente wamaProtestanti noweriphabliki, yaye liya kwenza ilungiselelo lokusasazwa kobuxoki neenkohliso zikapopu; sandule ke sazi ukuba lifikile ixesha lokusebenza okumangalisayo kukaSathana nokuba isiphelo sikufuphi. {5T451.1}
5. Ukumanyana kwebandla leSDA nerhamncwa, inamba, nomprofeti wobuxoki
Utheni na ukuba lihenyukazi umzi lo, ubunyanisile; ubuzele kugwebo; ubulungisa bebulala kuwo; kodwa ngoku ngababulali. (UIsaya 1: 21)
Kuba abantu bam baye benza ububi obubini; Bandishiyile mna, thende lamanzi aphilileyo; bazimbele amaqula, amaqula aqhekekileyo, angagcini manzi. (Yeremiya 2: 13)
Xa uMsindisi wabona kubantu bamaYuda uhlanga oluqhawule umtshato noThixo, wabona neCawa yamaKristu ezibiza ngokuba imanyene nehlabathi kunye noopopu. Kwaye njengokuba Wema phezu komNquma, elilela iYerusalem lada latshona ilanga emva kweenduli zasentshona, ngoko Ulila ebongoza aboni ngale mizuzu yokugqibela. Kungekudala uya kuthi kwizithunywa zezulu ezibambe imimoya yomine, “Ziyekeni izibetho; mabufike ubumnyama, intshabalalo, nokufa phezu kwabanxaxhayo bomthetho wam.” Ngaba Uya kunyanzeleka ukuba athi kwabo babenokukhanya okukhulu nolwazi, njengoko Watshoyo kumaYuda, “Akwaba ubusazi nawe lo ngale mini yakho, izinto ezizezoxolo lwakho! kungoku zifihliwe emehlweni akho”? {Ellen G. White kwi Review and Herald, Oktobha 8, 1901, isiqe. 15}
Abo bangayi kuzenza izifundo zikaKristu, kodwa bazigcine besesandleni ukuze bazibumbe, bafumana kumchasi-Kristu iziko lomanyano lwabo. {SpTA09 55.2}
Kwaye ngoku mhlawumbi esona sicatshulwa sibalulekileyo kodwa esaziwayo-kancinci sika-Ellen G. White sokuba ama-Adventist abizwa ngokuba ngama-Adventist aya kuchasene nentsalela kwaye ade abangcatshe. Qaphela ukuba ithi ekuqaleni: "Ndabona". Oku kuthetha ukuba wabona embonweni, ophuma ngokuthe ngqo kuThixo, oko kuya kwenzeka ekupheleni kwexesha.
Ndabona icawa ebizwa ngokuba ngamaSabatha, njengoYudas, yayiza kusingcatsha kumaKatolika ukufumana impembelelo yabo yokuchasa inyaniso. Abangcwele ngoko bayakuba ngabantu abangaziwayo, abaziwayo kancinci kumaKhatholika; kodwa amabandla kunye abazibiza ngokuba ngama-Adventist abalwaziyo ukholo nezithethe zethu (kuba basithiyile ngenxa yesabatha, kuba babengenako ukuyichasa) baya kungcatsha abangcwele kwaye baxele kumaKhatholika njengabo bangawahoyiyo amaziko abantu; oko kukuthi, bagcine iSabatha baze bangayinanzi iCawa. {I-Spalding kunye ne-Magan Collection 1.5}
Ngoku siza kuva amazwi avela kwiCawe yamaKhatholika ngokwayo malunga necawe yethu kunye nomahluko phakathi kwecawa yeSDA yantlandlolo kunye neentshukumo zohlaziyo ngokusingisele kwi-ecumenism. Andiqondi ukuba iMovement yoHlaziyo ichanile ukuba i-SDA icawe sele iyiBhabheli, kodwa ndicinga ukuba lihenyukazi, okanye iinxalenye zayo ezinkulu. I-Reform Movement, kwelinye icala, inokumangalelwa ukuba iyala ukukhanya okutsha okufanayo "necawa enkulu". Lo mbandela ndiza kuwuphendula kwelinye inqaku. Kwisicatshulwa esilandelayo, iCawa yamaKatolika ibethelela umahluko obangel’ umdla kwiphephancwadi layo leveki leveki lesiJamani elithi “Paulinus” likaMatshi 8, 1953:
Ama-Adventist ngokuchasene nama-Adventist
Abantu besithathu abanako ukungenelela kwiingxabano phakathi koluntu. Ama-Adventist azilungisa iingxabano zawo phakathi kwawo. Asiyi kubandakanyeka ekufumaneni ukuba umbuzo wokuba yiyiphi na okanye enye ihlelo lokumela i-Adventism yokuqala .... Ngo-1914, isibini ekhulwini samalungu eCawa ye-Seventh-day Adventist ayengabandakanywa eJamani ngenxa yokuba avakalisa ukuba ukuthatha inxaxheba kwinkonzo yasemkhosini, ngakumbi ngeSabatha, akuhambelani nemfundiso yama-Adventist. Amalungu angabandakanywanga ayezigqala njengabagcini bokwenene nabakhuseli be-Adventism....
Ngentwasahlobo yowe-1936 iNtlanganiso yoHlaziyo yapheliswa yaza yavalwa kulo lonke ilizwe kuba yayizama “phantsi komthi wemisebenzi yonqulo ukuphumeza usukelo olwaluchasene nombono wehlabathi wobuSoshiyali beSizwe”. Izohlwayo ezinjengokuvalelwa entolongweni nokuvalelwa ngenkani kwiinkampu zoxinaniso zamiselwa.
Namhlanje, le Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, njengoko bezibiza, iphinda ikwazi ukwenza ngaphandle komda, oko ngokuzimeleyo, kwaye le ntshukumo isebenza ngokuzinikela ngokupheleleyo. Ke, bayaqhubeka nentshukumisa yakudala yama-Adventist ngokuchasene neCawa yamaKatolika kunye noopopu. UPaulinus ngaphambili wabonisa ubungqina beempapasho ze-Adventist Reform Movement eJamani apho bagxeka iCawa yaseSeventh-day Adventist yasekuqaleni ngenxa yokuba yayifuna "ukufuna ubudlelwane obungcono kunye namagunya obumnyama", igqalwa njengomthetho weSabatha owapheliswa ngexesha lemfazwe, isebenzisana nolawulo lwamaNazi, ayihambisani nothintelo oluchasene noqhawulo-mtshato, ukuqhawula umtshato, kunye nokufundisa okungaphezulu. I-144,000 yayinokusindiswa....
Nangona kunjalo, kukho enye into, enomdla kuthi. Uluntu lwantlandlolo lweCawa yama-Adventist yamaSabatha lusiqinisekisa ngokucacileyo ukuba luyazikhwebula kuzo naziphi na izinto eziphembelela ubuKatolika njengoko babezenzile ngaphambi kowe-1945 nendlela ekwenziwa ngayo namhlanje yiCawa yeReform Movement ezimeleyo, kwaye baya kuzinyanzelela ekuvezeni iinkolelo zabo ngaphandle komoya weyantlukwano nangendlela enenjongo. Siyavuya ukwamkela lo myalezo kwaye ke sabelane ngawo nabafundi bakaPaulinus.
Ngeminyaka yoo-1970, iCawa yamaSabatha yaqalisa “ubudlelwane bozakuzo” kunye neVatican:
Glas Koncila (imagazini yamaKatolika evela eYugoslavia) 06/05/1977 NgoLwesine, umhla we-18 kuMeyi, uPopu uPaul VI wamkela abameli beNkomfa yoonoBhala Jikelele beeCawa zeHlabathi kubaphulaphuli abakhethekileyo. Kweli qela kwakukho, phakathi kwabanye: uBhishophu uJohn Howe, uNobhala Jikelele weBhunga lamaTshetshi, kunye UMnu. Bert Beach, uNobhala Jikelele we-Seventh-day Adventists. Kokokuqala ukuba ummeli wolu luntu lwezenkolo athathe inxaxheba ekudibaneni nopopu. Ngendlela, kwaye njengesikhumbuzo sotyelelo lwakhe, banika upopu imbasa yegolide. ...
INkomfa yeeNkonzo zeHlabathi yaququzelelwa kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, yaye umseki wayo wayenguSosiba Jikelele weBhunga lamaTshetshi, uBhishophu John Howe. Unobhala wangoku wenkomfa yangoku, okwangelo xesha linye uNobhala Jikelele weSeventh-day Adventists, uMnumzana Beach, wenze intetho kwiRadio Vaticana, apho wagxininisa ukubaluleka kwale ntlanganiso yokuqala noPopu. Watsho esithi: “Ibe liwonga elikhulu kum njengonobhala wale nkomfa ukubakho apha eRoma kubaphulaphuli be Bawo Ongcwele. Ngesi sihlandlo, ndanika upopu incwadi ethetha ngomsebenzi owenziwa ehlabathini lonke weCawa yamaSabatha.”
Ilandelayo yimizekelo yeziganeko zenkonzo kunye neenkonzo zonqulo apho ibandla lama-Adventist lathatha inxaxheba okanye lade laqhuba kwizikhundla ezikhokelayo. Kwabo bakholelwa ukuba yiJamani kuphela ekuwexukeni, ezi ziqwengana ziya kuba nomdla:
Diario da Tarde (eBrazil), 09/01/1976 - Kwabo basweleke kwingozi yaseSanta Lucia bahlala benethemba lovuko. Ngala mazwi ayintshayelelo, i Ubhishophu omkhulu waseBelo Horizonte, uDon Juan de Resende Costa, uvule inkonzo yenkonzo yecawa kwinkumbulo yamaxhoba ali-18 ale ngozi.... Le misa ibibhiyozelwa nguBhishophu omkhulu.... Ekugqibeleni, iqela lekwayala leCawa yamaSabatha amaSabatha lacula iingoma zonqulo neengoma ezidumileyo.
UFohla de Londrina (eBrazil), 05/14/1972 - ama-Adventist avula itempile eMaringá, eParaná. Ubukho bukabhishophu wedayosisi, uJayme Luiz Coelho, nabanye ootata nabafundisi, baguqula ukumiselwa kwetempile esembindini yeCawa yamaSabatha amaSabatha. kumzekelo oyinyaniso we-ecumenism.... Kwinkonzo yokunikezelwa kwetempile, umfundisi u-Iraja da Costa e Silva wahambisa ibandla ebandleni. Ubhishophu wedayosisi kunye nomphathiswa uAdriano Valente nabo babekwiqonga.
Revista Adventista (Ijenali yecawa yeSDA, eBrazil), ngoJanuwari 1965, iphepha 13: Yaqala intlanganiso. Sizama ukubonisa kancinane ngamnye wabo babekunye nathi eqongeni. Emva komncinci uPaulo de Oliveira we Icawa yama-Adventist waqala ngombuliso, wakhokela umthandazo wokuvula. Emva koko UBawo uEdmundo weCawa yamaKatolika ubhengeze utshintsho. Wandula ke umkhonzi wakho [uTata uEdmundo] wadlulisela isigidimi esifanelekileyo, esasiquka intshumayelo, eyathabatha imizuzu engama-20 kuphela kodwa eyayinenjongo yokunikela uKristu kubaphulaphuli abali-150 ababephulaphule. ayemele amabandla amahlanu ahlukeneyo. USodolophu uPeixoto ubhengeze iculo le iculo lamaSabatha kunye noMfundisi Joaquim Alves ukusuka kwi Icawa yamaWesile wakhokela umthandazo wokugqibela.
Njengoko ubona kwifoto, amabandla amaninzi athandazela ilizwe elingcono. Le ntlanganiso, eyayingenazo iimfundiso zentanda-bulumko kodwa izele ziimfundiso zikaKristu, yabonakala ixelela wonk’ ubani ukuba singamaKristu yaye ngenxa yoko singabazalwana. Ukususela ngoku, iCawa yama-Adventist kufuneka ibonakale ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Iindwendwe zazivuya kangangokuba uBawo wada wathi kwintshumayelo yakhe: “Ndiyayithanda iCawa yama-Adventist.”
Folha da Tarde, San Pablo, ngoLwesine, 4/15/1982, iphepha 13: Zimbini ii-ecumenical community ezisebenzayo kwinqanaba loncedo kwabasweleyo kunye nokukhuthazwa okudibeneyo kwendalo yoluntu: Enye yi-CESE, esekelwe e-Bahia [ilizwe laseBrazil] kunye noNobhala Jikelele u-Enilson Rocha Souza. “I-Ecumenical Service Coordination” idibanisa ezi cawa zilandelayo: IPentekoste, iBrazil kaKristu, iWesile, iTshetshi neCawa yamaKatolika kunye nenye, iofisi yayo eyintloko iseAvenida Churchill 129, conj. I-802 eRio de Janeiro kunye neNdawo yeDikoni inamasebe amabini kaCalvin (amaPresbyterian aseBrazil kunye namaPresbyterian azimeleyo), iCawa likaKristu (amaLuthere), ubuKristu obuQinisekisayo, ubuKristu bamaProtestanti, i-Episcopal Church, i-Methodist, i-Congregational, kwaye ngaphezu koko uluntu olungelulo ubuProtestanti okanye ubuKatolika: IBandla lamaSabatha amaSabatha.
Kodwa luthini uluntu lwethu lwenkolo malunga nalo kwaye lunxulumana njani ne-ecumenism?
Revista Adventista (Journal of SDA church), October 1975, page 26: Adventist Church and Ecumenism
Ngaba liyinyaniso elokuba iBandla lamaSabatha lilungu leBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi elidumileyo, eyona nto iphambili kwiinkonzo zexesha lethu?
Akunjalo. Asiyonyaniso ukuba icawa yeSDA ililungu leBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi yaye iya kumanyana nalo, njengamanye amahlelo enkululeko yamaProtestanti aneecawa ezimanyeneyo. intsingiselo yeecawa. Oku kuya kuba yinto engenakwenzeka ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yembali yethu yembali nesiprofeto njengebandla kunye neentsika zethu zonqulo ezahlukeneyo (kuquka imfundiso yengcwele, iSabatha, intshabalalo yokugqibela yomhlaba). Iya kuba kukushiya isikhundla sethu njengebandla lentsalela.
Eyona nto yenzekayo kukuba sigcina ubudlelwane kunye nemimandla ethile yeBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi ngokuthatha inxaxheba “njengabacebisi” apho. Olu lwalamano, olungelulo unxibelelwano lweengcamango, lulinganiselwe kwiindawo esicinga ukuba ziluncedo kuthi. Sigcina abafowunelwa esivumela ukuba siqhubele phambili nomsebenzi wethu kumazwe ahlukeneyo kwihlabathi jikelele. Kufuneka kugxininiswe kwakhona ukuba asingomalungu eBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi, kodwa singabacebisi abangenawo nawaphi na amalungelo okuvota kwizigqibo zeBhunga, ukuba singabandakanyeki kwiinkalo ezinokusibophelela kuyo nantoni na.
Okokugqibela, singathanda ukubuza: Zeziphi iingenelo iBandla lamaSabatha anokuzixhasa ngeBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi?
Abaninzi! Sisenokukhankanya ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba abavangeli basemazweni bamazwe angaphandle banikwe ngokukhawuleza amaphepha-mvume okusebenza kumazwe aphantsi koorhulumente abathile okanye phantsi kweemeko ezimbi zobupolitika. Omnye ummandla weBhunga leeCawa zeHlabathi oye wasinceda yikomiti yonomathotholo neefilimu. Oku sele kuthintele ukuba la majelo onxibelelwano abe yedwa okanye abe yedwa kwamanye amazwe. Ukuvangela ngala majelo kube yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kuthi. Ukongeza, amagcisa ethu asoloko exelelwa malunga neemeko, amaxabiso, nezinto ezinokwenzeka ezikhokelela kwiziphumo ezinoqoqosho kakhulu kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwecawe yethu. Olu nxibelelwano luye lwaba yingenelo kakhulu ekwandiseni umsebenzi wethu kumazwe aphesheya.
Enye ingenelo esiye saba nayo ngolwalamano namasebe obugcisa eBhunga leeCawa zeHlabathi (ngaphandle kwengcamango encinane yokuba siya kunamathela entlanganweni), inento yokwenza nokunikela uncedo kwiintlekele. Eli sebe libizwa ngokuba yiArhente yoPhuhliso lwaMazwe ngaMazwe. Abameli be-Adventist Social Assistance bayinxalenye yekomiti yeli candelo lenkxaso. Ngale nto, hayi kuphela wafumana imali eninzi, kodwa okona kubalulekileyo kukuba icawe yethu ikwazile ukufikelela kwezinye iindawo zalo msebenzi wenkxaso ngewuhlale uvaliwe kuthi.
Omnye ummandla weBhunga leeCawa zeHlabathi oye wanceda thina “yinkululeko yonqulo”. Asiluncami nangayiphi na indlela ukholo lwethu okanye imigaqo yethu okanye inkululeko yethu ngokuba nenxaxheba okunjalo. Sifumana ulwazi oluninzi oluxabisekileyo ngexabiso elingenamsebenzi, elivumela ukuba sisebenzise ulwazi olukhoyo kuthi ubuninzi.
Ezinye izahlulo zomsebenzi wethu wehlabathi ziyinxalenye yemibutho yezibhedlele, apho sifumana khona iingcamango ezibalulekileyo zolawulo lwezibhedlele zethu. Eminye yale mibutho ingamalungu emibutho yonqulo, eminye ingengawo.IBhunga LeeCawa Zehlabathi liyazi ukuba inkcaso yonqulo ingumgaqo kuthi. Yindawo yethu engashukumiyo kuba iyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yemfundiso yethu.
Ukuba abanye banenkcazelo eyingenelo okanye inkonzo esinayo, enoba ikummandla wokunceda abavangeli basemazweni bethu, icandelo lezemali, uncedo lwezentlalontle, ukusasaza iinkqubo zikanomathotholo, ulawulo lwesibhedlele, okanye nawuphi na omnye umsebenzi ofana nowethu, sifanele sizabalazele ukuzifumana. Kwelinye icala, ukuba sinokwenza umnikelo oxabisekileyo, nathi asimele siwushiye.Kukho—kwaye kuya kuhlala kukho—umsantsa wezakwalizwi ongavalelekiyo osahlulayo kumahlelo anxulumene neBhunga leeNkonzo zeHlabathi. Yaye ngokubhekisele kwiBhunga leeCawa zeHlabathi ngokwalo, kukho umsantsa ongenakuvaleka weenkonzo. Asilolungu lalo, kwaye asinakuze sibe njalo.
(Izicatshulwa ezivela kumsebenzi kaMfundisi uWalter R. Bech, uNobhala weNkomfa Jikelele)
Nceda uthelekise iinkcazo zikaWalter Bech kunye neleta evela kwiNkonzo ye-Adventist Press malunga noMhla weSibini weCawa yeCawa endiqale ngayo eli nqaku. Onjani wona umahluko! Sifike phi siyicawe?
Ngoko ke, ngubani lo “mSabatha wonqulo” woyikekayo othe cwaka wachwechwa phakathi kwethu nonesifo esiye sanwenwa njengobhubhani phakathi kwethu, ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba namhlanje amaqonga eengxoxo aphantse azaliswe ngama-Adventist anaso esi sigulo sibulalayo? NgokukaWalter Bech, umntu onjalo akanguye kwaphela umAdventist, kodwa ngumfundi kaSathana osuka kwelinye icala "lomgonyo onganqanyulwayo". Ewe, bahlobo. Oku kwenzeka ukuba "ugcina unxibelelwano oluxabisekileyo kunye nobudlelwane" kunye notshaba. Umntu olala nehenyukazi uyafeba ngokwakhe, kwaye ukuba ihenyukazi linesifo, naye lowo uhenyuzayo uyosulelwa sesi sifo.
Into engekhoyo linqanaba lokugqibela lowexuko: ukunxulumana nemimoya kunye nentshukumo yeNew Age. Okanye ngaba oku sele kwenzekile, kwaye uninzi lwethu lusakholelwa ... ukuba akukho nto yenzekileyo?
