UPapa Francis, uMuhammad, okanye uJoseph Smith abanakukusa kubungunaphakade… nguYesu Krestu kuphela onako ukukusa
UYesu wavakalisa ngesibindi - “'Ndim uvuko nobomi. Lowo ukholwayo kum, nokuba ubethe wafa, wodla ubomi. Bonke abadla ubomi bekholwa kum, abasayi kufa naphakade; (KuYohane 11: 25-26UYesu wayexelele abaFarisi ngaphambili - Ndiyemka, yaye niya kundifuna, + kodwa niya kufela esonweni senu. Apho ndiya khona aninakuza… Nina nivela ngaphantsi; Ndivela phezulu. Nina ningabeli hlabathi; Andingoweli hlabathi. Ndatsho ngoko kuni ukuthi, Niya kufela ezonweni zenu; kuba ekubeni nithe anakholwa ukuba ndinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu. (KuYohane 8: 21-24)
Xa uYesu wayesithi lowo ukholwayo kuye akasayi kufa, wayethetha ngokufa kwesibini. Bonke abantu baya kufa ngokwasemzimbeni. Nangona kunjalo, abo bamalayo uYesu Krestu bayakufa ngonaphakade. Baza kwahlulwa kuThixo ngonaphakade. Ukuba awuzukuzalwa ngokutsha ngokomoya kobu bomi, uya kufa ezonweni zakho - okanye kwimeko yokuvukela uThixo. Ngokukhawuleza uYesu uza kubuyela kulo mhlaba njengoMgwebi. Uya kuhlala phantsi alawule njengoKumkani wooKumkani eJerusalem iminyaka eliwaka. Emva kweminyaka eli-1,000 1,000 kuza kubakho uvuko lwabafileyo-abo babengalufumananga usindiso ngoYesu Krestu. Baya kuma phambi koThixo bagwetywe ngokwemisebenzi yabo; Ndaza ndabona itrone emhlophe enkulu, nalowo uhleli phezu kwayo, owathi umhlaba nezulu zibaleke ebusweni bakhe. Kwaye ayafunyanelwa ndawo. Kwaye ndabona abafileyo, abancinci nabakhulu, bemi phambi koThixo, iincwadi zavulwa. Kwaye kwavulwa enye incwadi, eyincwadi yobomi. Kwaye abafileyo bagwetywa ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ngezinto ezibhaliweyo ezincwadini. Ulwandle lwabakhupha abafileyo abakulo, kwathi ukufa neHadesi kwabakhupha abafileyo ababekuzo. Bagwetywa elowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwaza ke ukufa neHadesi kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini. Kwaye nabani na ongafunyanwanga ebhaliwe encwadini yobomi waphoswa edikeni lomlilo. " (ISityhi. 20: 11-15) Xa ke kufe neHadesi echibini lomlilo, oko kukufa kwesibini. Indawo ochitha kuyo ubomi bakho obunaphakade ixhomekeke kwinto oyikholelwayo ngoYesu Krestu nakoko akuthethileyo.
UYesu wathetha ngeHadesi xa wayefundisa ngendoda esisityebi noLazaro - “'Kwaye kukho umntu othile osisityebi, obevatha ezibomvu nezelinen ecikizekileyo, esenza imihlali yokuzuka kwakhe imihla yonke. Bekukho ke hlwempu lithile, ligama linguLazaro, lizele zizilonda, lalibekwe phambi kwakhe; linqwenela ukuhluthiswa ngeemvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yesityebi eso. Izinja zeza zakhotha izilonda zakhe. Ke kaloku lathi lafa ihlwempu elo, lasiwa zizithunywa zezulu esifubeni sika-Abraham; Safa ke nesityebi, sangcwatywa. Uthe, ekubandezelweni kwelabafileyo, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona uAbraham ekude, noLazaro esesifubeni sakhe. Samemeza sona sathi, Bawo, Abraham, ndenzele inceba, uthume uLazaro, ukuba athi nkxu incam yomnwe wakhe emanzini, aphozise ulwimi lwam; ngokuba ndiyathuthunjelwa kweli langatye. '” (ULuka 16: 19-24) Ukusuka kweli bali, sibona ukuba iHadesi yindawo yokuthuthumbisa, intuthumbo engapheliyo eqhubeka ngonaphakade.
Kubaluleke kangakanani ukusabela kwilizwi likaYesu? UYesu wathi - Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ulivayo ilizwi lam, akholwe ngulowo wandithumayo, unobomi obungunaphakade; akezi ekugwetyweni; uphume ekufeni, wangena ebomini. (KuYohane 5: 24Cinga ukuba ngubani uYesu - “Ekuqalekeni ube ekho uLizwi, waye uLizwi ekuye uThixo, waye uLizwi enguThixo. Yena wayekunye noThixo. Zonke izinto zadalwa ngaye, ngaphandle kwakhe akubangakho nto idaliweyo. Indalo yonke ke indalo ikukukhanya. (KuYohane 1: 1-4) UYesu liLizwi elenziwe inyama. Kukho ubomi kuYe. U-Yesu watsho oku kulandelayo kumthandazo wakhe wokucela- “'Bawo, ilixa lifikile. Mzukise uNyana wakho, ukuze noNyana wakho akuzukise; njengoko umnike igunya phezu kwenyama yonke, ukuze bonke omnike bona abanike ubomi obungunaphakade. Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo. (KuYohane 17: 1-3) Azikho ezinye iinkokeli zonqulo okanye umprofeti onokukunika ubomi obungunaphakade. Bonke bangabantu kwaye baya kugwetywa nguThixo. NguYesu Kristu kuphela umntu ngokupheleleyo kwaye ngokupheleleyo nguThixo. Nguye kuphela onikwe igunya kuyo yonke inyama. Ukuba awuyamkeli into awakwenzela yona uYesu, ubomi bakho boaphakade buya kuba ngomnye wentuthumbo.
UJoseph Smith wakha wathi - "Ndibala ukuba yenye yezixhobo zokumisa umbuso kaDaniel ngelizwi leNkosi, kwaye ndizimisele ukubeka isiseko esiya kuguqula ilizwe lonke." (Tanner xnumx) UMongameli wesithathu we-Mormon Church, uJohn Taylor, wakha wathi- "Siyakholelwa kuyo, kwaye siyavuma ngokunyaniseka ukuba obu bubukumkani iNkosi eqalise ukubumisela phezu komhlaba, kwaye ayizukugcina bonke abantu bekwinkolo, kodwa nakwisikhundla sezopolitiko." (Tanner xnumx) Ngo-1844, inqaku kwiphephandaba iSt.Clair Banner lathetha oku kulandelayo malunga nokumiselwa kuka “Joseph” njengokumkani - “Eyona njongo kaJoseph Smith yayikukunxiba elona gunya liphakamileyo, elaseburhulumenteni, elomkhosi kunye nelezenkolo, phezu kwabo bonke ababa ngamalungu oluntu lwakhe. Inyathelo lokuqala elathatyathwa nguye, yayikukwanelisa abantu bakhe ukuba ufumene isityhilelo esivela kuThixo… kwaye wanika oku kulandelayo njengenxalenye yesityhilelo sakhe… Ukuba yena (uJoseph) wayeyinzala kaJoseph wakudala ngegazi likaEfrayim. Kwaye uThixo wayemisele kwaye emisela ukuba yena, kunye nenzala yakhe, balawule wonke uSirayeli, ... kwaye ekugqibeleni amaJuda kunye neeNtlanga. Ukuba igunya athe uThixo wamnxibisa ngalo,… lafikelela kulo lonke uluntu,… u-Joe uqhubeke wathi uThixo umtyhilele, ukuba ama-Indiya kunye ne-Latter Day Saints, phantsi kuka-Joe njengenkosi yabo, nomlawuli wabo, babeza koyisa iiNtlanga, kwaye nokuzithoba kwabo kweli gunya kwakuza kufunyanwa ngekrele! ” (Isibhengezo sesibini 415-416)
U-Ibn Warraq wabhala ngo-Muhammad - “Uphawu oluchazwe nguMahammad kwibhayiloji ka-Ibn Ishaq aluthandeki kwaphela. Ukuze azuze iinjongo zakhe uyaphola kungabikho luncedo, kwaye uyakwamkela ukunganyaniseki okufanayo kwicala labalandeli bakhe, xa besebenzisa umdla wakhe. Unenzuzo ngokugqwesileyo kubuchwephesha beMeccans, kodwa kunqabile ukuba ayifune ngoluhlobo. Uququzelela ukubulawa kwabantu kunye nokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi. Umsebenzi wakhe wobuzwilakhe eMedina ngulowo wayeyinkosi yokuphanga, uqoqosho lwayo lwezopolitiko lukhona ekwahluleni amaxhoba, ukwabiwa kokugqibela ngamanye amaxesha kwenziwa kwimigaqo engaphumeleliyo ukwanelisa izimvo zomlandeli wakhe wezobulungisa. UnguLibertine ongalawulekiyo kwaye ukhuthaza uthando olufanayo kubalandeli bakhe. Yonke into ayenzayo uzimisele ukuyicenga kugunyaziso lobuthixo. Nangona kunjalo, akunakwenzeka ukuba afumane nayiphi na imfundiso angakulungelanga ukuyishiya ukuze afumane isiphelo sezopolitiko. ” (I-Warraq 103)
Nokuba uJoseph Smith, uMuhammad, uPapa Francis, okanye enye inkokheli yenkolo ayinakukunika ubomi obungunaphakade. NguYesu Krestu kuphela onokwenza oku. Awuyi kujikela kuYesu namhlanje kwaye uthembele kuko konke oyiyo kuye. Ngaba uza kulandela indlela yomoni esa elusindisweni? Awunakuphelela apho ucinga ukuba uya kuthi. Usenokuba ubamkele ubumnyama njengokukhanya. Ngaba uza kufela ezonweni zakho uze ume phambi koThixo ukholose ngemisebenzi yakho ukuze umkholise? Okanye uya kugqithisela ithemba lakho kuYesu Krestu, okunguye kuphela owakholisa uThixo, ngobomi bakhe, ukufa nokuvuka kwakhe? Ukuba sima phambi koThixo ngobulungisa bethu, siya kufumana isohlwayo sikanaphakade kuphela. Ukuba sambethe ubulungisa bukaKristu, ngoko ke siba ngabathathi-nxaxheba bobomi obungunaphakade, ngubani onokumthemba ngonaphakade?
