Mafunso a Utatu

Atate ndi Mulungu ndipo Mwana ndi Mulungu ndipo Mzimu Woyera ndi Mulungu, koma pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha. Dikirani pang'ono anthu ena anene. "Kuphatikiza kumodzi kuphatikiza kumodzi kumafanana ndi kumodzi? Izo sizingakhale zoona. Sizingowonjezera."

Ndiko kulondola, sizikugwira ntchito - ndipo siziyeneranso kutero. Mulungu si “chinthu” choti muwonjezere. Pakhoza kukhala Mmodzi, Wamphamvuzonse, Wanzeru Zonse, Wopezekapo - chifukwa chake pangakhale Mulungu Mmodzi yekha. M’dziko la mizimu, Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi amodzi, ogwirizana m’njira imene zinthu zakuthupi sizingakhale. Masamu athu amazikidwa pa zinthu zakuthupi; sizimagwira ntchito nthawi zonse mu gawo lauzimu lopanda malire.

Atate ndi Mulungu ndipo Mwana ndi Mulungu, koma pali Mulungu m'modzi yekha. Iyi si banja kapena komiti ya zolengedwa zauzimu - gulu silinganene kuti, "Palibe wina wonga ine" (Jes 43,10(44:6; 45:5). Mulungu ndi Mulungu m'modzi yekha—woposa munthu m'modzi, koma Mulungu m'modzi yekha. Akristu oyambirira sanatenge lingaliro limeneli kuchokera ku chikunja kapena filosofi—anakakamizidwa ndi Malemba Oyera.

Monga momwe malembo amaphunzitsira kuti Khristu ndi waumulungu, amaphunzitsanso kuti Mzimu Woyera ndi waumulungu komanso waumwini. Chilichonse chomwe Mzimu Woyera amachita, Mulungu amachita. Mzimu Woyera ndiye Mulungu monga Mwana ndi Atate ali - anthu atatu omwe alumikizana mwangwiro mwa Mulungu m'modzi: Utatu.

Funso la mapemphero a Khristu

Funso nthawi zambiri limafunsidwa: Popeza Mulungu ndi mmodzi, n’chifukwa chiyani Yesu anayenera kupemphera kwa Atate? Kumbuyo kwa funsoli kuli lingaliro lakuti umodzi wa Mulungu sunalole Yesu (yemwe anali Mulungu) kupemphera kwa Atate. Mulungu ndi mmodzi. Ndiye Yesu anapemphera kwa ndani? Chithunzichi chikunyalanyaza mfundo zinayi zofunika zomwe tiyenera kuzifotokoza ngati tikufuna kupeza yankho lokwanira la funsoli. Mfundo yoyamba ndi yakuti mawu akuti "Mawu anali Mulungu" sakutsimikizira kuti Mulungu anali Logos yekha [Mawu]. Mawu akuti "Mulungu" m'mawu akuti "ndipo Mawu anali Mulungu" (Joh 1,1)Mawu akuti "Logos" sagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati dzina lenileni. Amatanthauza kuti Logos anali waumulungu—kuti Logos anali ndi chikhalidwe chomwecho ndi Mulungu—chikhalidwe chimodzi, chikhalidwe chimodzi. Ndi kulakwitsa kuganiza kuti mawu akuti "Logos anali Mulungu" amatanthauza kuti Logos yekha ndiye Mulungu. Kuchokera pamalingaliro awa, mawuwa saletsa Khristu kupemphera kwa Atate. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, pali Khristu ndipo pali Atate, ndipo palibe kusagwirizana mwa Khristu kupemphera kwa Atate.

Mfundo yachiwiri yomwe ikufunika kufotokozedwa bwino ndi yakuti ma logo anali nyama. (Joh 1,14)Mawu awa akusonyeza kuti Logos wa Mulungu anakhaladi munthu—munthu weniweni, wokhala ndi malire, wokhala ndi makhalidwe ndi zofooka zonse zomwe zimafotokozera anthu. Anali ndi zosowa zonse zomwe zimabwera ndi chibadwa cha anthu. Anali ndi zosowa zonse zauzimu ndi zamaganizo, kuphatikizapo kufunika kokhala ndi chiyanjano ndi Mulungu kudzera mu pemphero. Kufunika kumeneku kudzamveka bwino mtsogolo.

Mfundo yachitatu yomwe iyenera kufotokozedwa ndikuti alibe tchimo. Pemphero silili kwa ochimwa okha; ngakhale munthu wopanda tchimo atha kutamanda Mulungu ndikupempha thandizo Lake. Munthu wochepa, ayenera kupemphera kwa Mulungu, ayenera kukhala ndi chiyanjano ndi Mulungu. Yesu Khristu, munthu, amayenera kupemphera kwa Mulungu wopanda malire.

Izi zikukweza kufunikira kokonza cholakwika chachinayi chomwe chidapangika pamfundo yomweyo: lingaliro loti kufunika kopemphera ndi umboni woti munthu wopemphera sakhala woposa munthu. Malingaliro awa abwera m'malingaliro a anthu ambiri kuchokera pamalingaliro olakwika a pemphero - kuchokera paganizo loti kupanda ungwiro kwaumunthu ndiye maziko okha opempherera. Maganizo amenewa sanatengeredwe mu Baibulo kapena china chilichonse chomwe Mulungu waulula. Adam amayenera kupemphera ngakhale akadachimwa. Kusalakwa kwake sikukadapangitsa mapemphero ake kukhala osafunikira. Khristu adapemphera ngakhale anali wangwiro.

Poganizira zimene tafotokozazi, funsoli likhoza kuyankhidwa. Khristu anali Mulungu, koma sanali Atate (kapena Mzimu Woyera); iye amakhoza kupemphera kwa atate. Khristu nayenso anali munthu - munthu wocheperako; iye ankayenera kupemphera kwa atate. Khristu analinso Adamu watsopano - chitsanzo cha munthu wangwiro Adamu ayenera kukhala; anali mu chiyanjano chokhazikika ndi Mulungu. Khristu anali woposa munthu - ndipo pemphero silisintha chikhalidwe chimenecho; anapemphera monga Mwana wa Mulungu analenga munthu. Lingaliro lakuti pemphero ndi losayenera kapena losafunika kwa munthu woposa munthu silichokera ku chivumbulutso cha Mulungu.
