Kodi Baibulo Ndi Mawu a Mulungu?

"Malemba Opatulika ndi Mawu ouziridwa a Mulungu, umboni wokhulupirika wa Uthenga Wabwino, ndi kutanthauzira koona ndi kolondola kwa vumbulutso la Mulungu kwa anthu. Pachifukwa ichi, Malemba Opatulika ndi osalephera komanso ofunikira kwambiri ku Tchalitchi pankhani zonse za chiphunzitso ndi moyo." (2. Tim 3,15-17; 2. Petrus 1,20-21; Joh 17,17).

Wolemba buku la Epistle to the Hebrews akunena izi zokhudza momwe Mulungu wakhala akulankhula kwa zaka mazana ambiri za moyo wa anthu: “Kale Mulungu analankhula ndi makolo athu ndi aneneri nthawi zambiri komanso m’njira zosiyanasiyana, koma masiku otsiriza ano walankhula ndi ife kudzera mwa Mwana wake.” (Hebr 1,1-2).

Chipangano chakale

Lingaliro la "zambiri komanso m'njira zambiri" ndi lofunika. Mawu olembedwa sanali kupezeka nthawi zonse, ndipo nthawi ndi nthawi, Mulungu anaulula malingaliro Ake kwa makolo akale monga Abrahamu, Nowa, ndi ena kudzera mu zochitika zodabwitsa. Buku la Genesis linaulula zambiri mwa zochitika zoyambirirazi pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu. Pamene nthawi inkapita, Mulungu anagwiritsa ntchito njira zosiyanasiyana kuti akope chidwi cha anthu (monga chitsamba choyaka moto mu Genesis). 2. Mose 3,2), ndipo anatumiza amithenga monga Mose, Yoswa, Debora ndi zina zotero kuti akapereke mawu ake kwa anthu.

Zikuwoneka kuti ndikukula kwa malembo, Mulungu adayamba kugwiritsa ntchito sing'anga iyi kuti asunge uthenga Wake kwa ife wamtsogolo; Anauzira aneneri ndi aphunzitsi kuti alembe zomwe akufuna kunena kwa anthu.

Mosiyana ndi malemba ambiri opatulika a zipembedzo zina zodziwika bwino, mabuku odziwika kuti "Chipangano Chakale", omwe ali ndi zolemba kuyambira Khristu asanabadwe, nthawi zonse amanena kuti ndi mawu a Mulungu. Jeremia 1,9; Amos 1,3.6.9; 11 ndi 13; Micha 1,1 Ndipo ndime zina zambiri zikusonyeza kuti aneneri ankamvetsa mauthenga awo olembedwa ngati kuti Mulungu mwiniwake anali kulankhula. Mwanjira imeneyi, “anthu, ogwidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, analankhula m’dzina la Mulungu.” (2Pt 1,21)Paulo akunena za Chipangano Chakale kuti “Malemba Opatulika”, omwe “anauziridwa ndi Mulungu.” (2Tim 3,15-16). 

Chipangano chatsopano

Lingaliro ili la kudzoza limatengedwa ndi olemba Chipangano Chatsopano. Chipangano Chatsopano ndi mndandanda wa zolemba zomwe zimagwirizana makamaka ndi omwe anakhalapo [nthawi ya] isanafike Apostelgeschichte 15 Anthu amene ankadziwika kuti ndi atumwi ankanena kuti ndi Malemba Opatulika. Onani kuti Mtumwi Petro anaika makalata a Paulo m’magulu, olembedwa “monga mwa nzeru zopatsidwa kwa iye,” pakati pa “Malemba ena [oyera].” (2Pt 3,15-16)Pambuyo pa imfa ya atumwi oyambirirawa, palibe buku lomwe linalembedwa lomwe pambuyo pake linalandiridwa ngati gawo la Baibulo lomwe tsopano timalitcha kuti Baibulo.

Atumwi monga Yohane ndi Petro amene anayendayenda ndi Kristu anatilembera ife mfundo zazikulu za utumiki wa Yesu ndi chiphunzitso chake.1Joh 1,1-4; Joh 21,24.25) Iwo “anaona ulemerero wake okha” ndipo “anali ndi mawu aulosi molimba mtima,” ndipo “anatidziwitsa mphamvu ndi kubwera kwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu.” (2Pt 1,16-19)Luka, dokotala komanso munthu amene ankaonedwanso kuti ndi katswiri wa mbiri yakale, anasonkhanitsa nkhani kuchokera kwa “mboni zowona ndi atumiki a mawu” ndipo analemba “nkhani yolongosoka” kuti “tidziwe maziko enieni a chiphunzitso chimene tinaphunzitsidwa.” (Lk 1,1-4).

Yesu anati Mzimu Woyera udzakumbutsa atumwi zinthu zimene ananena. (Joh 14,26)Monga momwe anauzira olemba Chipangano Chakale, Mzimu Woyera unauzira atumwi kulemba mabuku ndi zolemba zawo kwa ife, ndipo anawatsogolera ku choonadi chonse.Joh 15,26; 16:13). Malemba Opatulika amaimira umboni wokhulupirika wa uthenga wabwino wa Yesu Khristu.

Lemba ndi mawu ouziridwa a Mulungu

Chifukwa chake, zomwe Baibulo limanena kuti Malemba Opatulika ndi Mawu ouziridwa a Mulungu ndi umboni wowona komanso wolondola wa vumbulutso la Mulungu kwa anthu. Limalankhula ndi mphamvu za Mulungu. Titha kuona kuti Baibulo lagawidwa m'magawo awiri: Chipangano Chakale, chomwe, monga momwe Kalata Yopita kwa Ahebri imanenera, chimavumbula zomwe Mulungu analankhula kudzera mwa aneneri; ndi Chipangano Chatsopano, chomwe chimatanthauzanso Hebräer 1,1-2 Limavumbula zomwe Mulungu walankhula nafe kudzera mwa Mwana (kudzera m'zolemba za atumwi). Chifukwa chake, malinga ndi mawu a m'Malemba Oyera, mamembala a nyumba ya Mulungu amamangidwa "pa maziko a atumwi ndi aneneri, ndi Yesu mwiniwake ngati mwala wapangodya." (Eph 2,19-20).

Kodi phindu lake la malembo kwa wokhulupirira ndi lotani?

Malemba Opatulika amatitsogolera ku chipulumutso kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu. Chipangano Chakale ndi Chatsopano zonse zimafotokoza kufunika kwa Malemba Oyera kwa wokhulupirira. "Mawu anu ndiwo nyali ya mapazi anga ndi kuunika kwa njira yanga," akutero wolemba Masalimo. (Ps 119,105)Koma kodi Mawu amatitsogolera ku njira iti? Paulo akuyankha funsoli pamene akulembera kalata kwa mlaliki Timoteo. Tiyeni timvetse bwino zomwe akunena mu 2. Timotheus 3,15 (otulutsidwanso m’mabaibulo atatu osiyanasiyana) akuti:

• "...dziwani Malemba [oyera], omwe angakuphunzitseni kuti mupulumuke kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu Yesu" (Luther 1984).
• “...dziwa Malemba Opatulika, amene angakupangitseni kukhala wanzeru kufikira chipulumutso mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Kristu Yesu” (kumasulira kwa Schlachter).
• “Mumadziŵanso Malemba Opatulika kuyambira muli mwana. Ikuonetsa njira yokha ya chipulumutso, ndiyo chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu” (chiyembekezo cha onse).

Ndime yofunika kwambiri iyi ikugogomezera kuti Malemba amatitsogolera ku chipulumutso kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu. Yesu mwiniwake anafotokoza kuti Malemba amamuchitira umboni. Iye anati, “kuti zonse zolembedwa za ine m’chilamulo cha Mose, ndi m’mabuku a aneneri, ndi m’masalmo ziyenera kukwaniritsidwa.” (Lk 24,44)Zolemba zimenezi zimatchula Khristu kuti Mesiya. M’chaputala chomwecho, Luka akunena kuti Yesu anakumana ndi ophunzira awiri pamene anali paulendo wopita ku mudzi wotchedwa Emausi, ndipo “anawafotokozera zomwe zinanenedwa m’malemba onse zokhudza iye mwini, kuyambira ndi Mose ndi aneneri onse.” (Lk 24,27).

Mu ndime ina, pamene ankazunzidwa ndi Ayuda omwe ankaganiza kuti kutsatira lamulo ndiyo njira yopezera moyo wosatha, iye anawawongolera, nati: “Mufufuza m’Malemba chifukwa mumaganiza kuti mmenemo muli ndi moyo wosatha; ndipo ndi omwewo amene amandichitira umboni; koma simufuna kubwera kwa Ine kuti mukhale ndi moyo.” (Joh 5,39-40).

Lemba limayeretsa ndikutikonzekeretsanso

Malemba Oyera amatitsogolera ku chipulumutso mwa Khristu, ndipo kudzera mu ntchito ya Mzimu Woyera timayeretsedwa kudzera m'Malemba. (Joh 17,17)Kukhala mogwirizana ndi choonadi cha m'Malemba Opatulika kumatisiyanitsa ndi ena.
Paulo akufotokoza mu 2. Timotheus 3,16-17. kupitirira apo:

“Pakuti lemba lililonse adaliuzira Mulungu, lipindulitsa pa chiphunzitso, chikonzero, chikonzero, chilangizo cha m’chilungamo, kuti munthu wa Mulungu akhale wangwiro, woyenera kuchita ntchito iliyonse yabwino.

Malemba amene amatilozera kwa Khristu kuti adzapulumuke, amatiphunzitsanso ziphunzitso za Khristu kuti tikule m’chifanizo chake. 2. Johannes 9 Iye akufotokoza kuti, “Aliyense wopitirira izi osapitirizabe m’chiphunzitso cha Khristu alibe Mulungu,” ndipo Paulo akugogomezera kuti tikugwirizana ndi “mawu opulumutsa” a Yesu Khristu. (1Tim 6,3)Yesu ananena kuti okhulupirira amene amamvera mawu ake ali ngati anthu anzeru amene amamanga nyumba zawo pathanthwe. (Mt 7,24).

Chifukwa chake, Lemba silimangotipangitsa kukhala anzeru ku chipulumutso, koma limamupangitsa wokhulupirira kukula msinkhu ndikumukonzekeretsa kugwira ntchito ya uthenga wabwino. Baibulo sililonjeza zopanda pake za izi. Malembo ndi osalephera komanso maziko a Mpingo pankhani zonse za chiphunzitso ndi machitidwe aumulungu.

Kuphunzira Baibulo - Chilango Chachikhristu

Kuphunzira Baibulo ndi chiphunzitso chofunikira chachikhristu, chomwe chafotokozedwa bwino m'nkhani za Chipangano Chatsopano. Anthu olungama a ku Bereya "analandira mawu mwachangu, ndipo anafufuza m'Malemba tsiku ndi tsiku kuti aone ngati zinthu zimenezi zinali zoona" kuti atsimikizire chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Khristu. (Apg 17,11)Mkulu wa nyumba ya mfumukazi Kandake wa ku Itiyopiya anali kuwerenga buku la Yesaya pamene Filipo ankamulalikira za Yesu. (Apg 8,26-39)Timoteo, amene anadziwa Malemba kuyambira ali mwana chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro cha amayi ake ndi agogo ake (2Tim 1,5(3:15) anakumbutsidwa ndi Paulo kuti agawire bwino mawu a choonadi. (2Tim 2,15), ndi “kulalikira mawu” (2Tim 4,2).

Kalata yopita kwa Tito imapereka malangizo akuti mkulu aliyense ayenera “kugwira mawu a choonadi, omwe ndi otsimikizika.” (Tit 1,9)Paulo akukumbutsa Aroma kuti “mwa kuleza mtima ndi chilimbikitso cha m’Malemba tili ndi chiyembekezo.” (Röm 15,4).

Baibulo limatichenjezanso kuti tisadalire kutanthauzira kwathu malemba a m'Baibulo. (2Pt 1,20), kupotoza malemba kuti tilangidwe tokha (2Pt 3,16), ndi kutenga nawo mbali m'makambirano ndi mikangano pa tanthauzo la mawu komanso ndi mayina a amuna ndi akazi (Tit 3,9; 2Tim 2,14.23). Mawu a Mulungu sali omangidwa ndi malingaliro athu oyambilira ndi machenjerero. (2Tim 2,9)M'malo mwake, ndi “yamoyo komanso yamphamvu” komanso “yoweruza maganizo ndi malingaliro a mtima.” (Hebr 4,12).

Chidule:

Baibulo ndilothandiza kwa Mkhristu chifukwa. . .

• ndi mawu ouziridwa a Mulungu.
