Ngokuba siyeza isikhathi lapho abantu bengayikuvuma isifundiso esiphilileyo, kepha bayakuzibuthela abafundisi ngokwezinkanuko zabo, benezindlebe ezibabayo, bafulathelise izindlebe zabo eqinisweni, baphendukele ezinganekwaneni. —2 Thimothewu 4:3-4
Nakuba siphila esikhathini esinamaphimbo amaningi kangangokuthi kunokudideka okukhulu kunokucaca, ukwaziswa okunganembile kwandile, namahemuhemu anesisindo esikhulu njengeqiniso, singabona esixwayisweni sikaPawulu sokuthi akuyona nje inkinga yenkathi yamanje. Akukho okusha ngaphansi kwelanga ngakho-ke, njengamakholwa, kufanele (namanje) siqaphe iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngokuhlanekezelwa yimfundiso yamanga.
Yazi Iqiniso
Umgomo wokuqala - futhi obaluleke kakhulu - ukwazi ukuthi liyini iqiniso. Uma sesiyijwayele kangcono, singayigada kangcono. Umuntu angase alingeke ukuba acabange ukuthi kubaluleke ngokufanayo ukwazi imfundiso yamanga ngayinye kanye nawo wonke amaphuzu aphikisayo akhona, kodwa akunjalo. Lokhu kungasidikibalisa ngaphezu kokusinika isibindi.
Siyazi ukuthi ngokuyisisekelo izimfundiso zokholo lwethu zibalulekile ekusindisweni kwethu nasekungcwelisweni kwethu. Yiwona kanye izinga esingakala ngalo wonke amanye "amaqiniso" kanye nothisha. UPawulu wathi kwabaseGalathiya 1:81 , “Kodwa noma thina (yena nabasakazi bevangeli abakanye naye) noma ingelosi evela ezulwini ingashumayela ivangeli elingelona leli esanishumayeza lona, makube ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso sikaNkulunkulu!”
Hlola Imimoya
Ake sibheke kuJohane wokuQala isahluko 4. UJohane wathi evesini leshumi nanye, “Bathandekayo, ningakholwa yibo bonke omoya, kodwa hlolani omoya ukuthi bangabakaNkulunkulu yini; ngokuba baningi abaprofethi bamanga abaphumele ezweni”.
Sikwenza kanjani lokho? Hlola imimoya? Kudingeka sibuze imibuzo ethile. Ingabe leli “qiniso” noma umfundisi walo uyavuma ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi? Ukuthi Weza enyameni, ukuthi wafa futhi wavuka ngenxa yezono zethu? Ingabe Nguye kuphela indlela eya kuBaba? Ingabe le mfundiso iyavuma ukuthi iBhayibheli liphefumulelwe ngokwaphezulu? Ukuthi kufanele kube yiGunya lethu lokugcina? Ingabe liyalukhuthaza futhi ligunyaze uthando (njengoba iBhayibheli liluchaza) ngoNkulunkulu nabanye? Ukulalela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu? Ubungcwele bempilo kanye nobunye bukaMoya njengemigomo? Ingabe lo thisha ukhombisa ukuthobeka nobuqotho, ukuziphendulela, nokungafihli lutho? Bheka uMathewu 7:15-20 .
Amanga ngamabomu
UPetru wathi: “Kepha kwakukhona nabaprofethi bamanga phakathi kwabantu, njengokuba naphakathi kwenu kuyakuba-khona abafundisi bamanga abazakungenisa ngasese izifundiso ezibhubhisayo, bephika neNkosi eyabathengayo, bezilethela ukubhujiswa okusheshayo. Abaningi bayakulandela izindlela zabo ezibhubhisayo, okuyohlanjazwa ngabo indlela yeqiniso. Futhi ngokuhaha kwabo, bayonixhaphaza ngamazwi enkohliso.” ( 2 Petru 2:1-3 )
Kwesinye isikhathi laba thisha, laba baholi, la mazwi anamandla bayoba nezinhloso ezimbi zokuxhaphaza nokuqola abantu. Ngokugqugquzelwa ukuhaha bangaletha umonakalo omkhulu kubantu abasengozini, kanye nathi njengeBandla. Kuqaphele lokhu futhi kuzokuphoqa ukuthi ubuze ngokufanelekile lokho abanye - ngisho nezigidi - bakubheka "njengeqiniso".
yiba nesibindi... kodwa futhi ube mnene
Lezi izimiso ezisekelwe eBhayibhelini ezingasisiza sibone futhi sigweme imfundiso yamanga efuna ‘ukukitaza izindlebe zethu’ nokucindezela kontanga yethu. Ibalulekile ekuhloleni okuyiqiniso. Masizisebenzise ekuphileni kwethu nasezinkonzweni zethu, ukuze sithembeke kuNkulunkulu nasezwini lakhe kuze kube sekupheleni, sizivikele thina nabanye ekukhohliseni nasekubhujisweni kwemfundiso yamanga.
Kodwa njengoba sikwenza lokhu ngokuqapha, kodwa futhi “Bonke abantu mababazi ubumnene benu” njengoba uPawulu ekubeka kwabaseFilipi 4:5. Wonke umuntu ucabanga ukuthi lokho akukholelwayo kuyiqiniso. Hhayi njalo - njengoba sibonile - kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nabafundisi baleyo mfundiso yamanga bayakholelwa kulokho abakufundisa abanye.
Futhi njengoba uPawulu esho futhi, “Kwababuthakathaka ngaba njengobuthakathaka, ukuze ngizuze ababuthakathaka. Othisha nabalaleli bobabili. Yingakho ukwazi iqiniso kubaluleke kakhulu, ukuze sikwazi ukuhlola imimoya ngendlela yokuthi nathi “sisindise abanye”.
