gehena

Gahena ndi kulekanitsidwa ndi kutalikirana ndi Mulungu kumene ochimwa osasinthika asankha. M’Chipangano Chatsopano, helo mophiphiritsira akunenedwa kukhala “nyanja yamoto,” “mdima,” ndi Gehena (pambuyo pa Chigwa cha Hinomu pafupi ndi Yerusalemu, malo oyaka moto kaamba ka zonyansa). Gehena imanenedwa kukhala chilango, kuzunzika, kuzunzidwa, chiwonongeko chamuyaya, kulira ndi kukukuta mano. Scheol ndi Hade, mawu aŵiri ochokera m’zinenero zoyambirira za Baibulo amene kaŵirikaŵiri amatembenuzidwa kukhala “helo” ndi “manda,” kaŵirikaŵiri amanena za malo a akufa. Baibulo limaphunzitsa kuti ochimwa osalapa adzafa imfa yachiŵiri m’nyanja yamoto, koma silimamveketsa bwino lomwe ngati zimenezi zikutanthauza kuwonongedwa kapena kupatukana ndi Mulungu mwauzimu. (2. Atesalonika 1,8-9; Mateyu 10,28; 25,41.46; Chivumbulutso 20,14:15-2; 1,8; Mateyu 13,42; Masalimo 49,14-15)

gehena

“Ngati dzanja lako lamanja limakukhumudwitsa, ulidule, nulitaye; Ndi bwino kwa iwe kuti chiwalo chako chimodzi chiwonongeke, ndi kuti thupi lako lonse lisapite ku Gehena.” (Mat 5,30). Gahena ndi chinthu chovuta kwambiri. Tiyenera kumvera chenjezo la Yesu.

Njira yathu

Chikhulupiriro chathu chimalongosola Gahena ngati "kulekana ndi kupatukana ndi Mulungu komwe ochimwa osasinthika asankha." Sitikunena ngati kulekanitsidwa ndi kudzipatula kumatanthauza kuzunzika kwamuyaya kapena kutha kwa chidziwitso. Ndithudi, timanena kuti Baibulo silimamveketsa zimenezi.

Zikafika ku gahena, monganso nkhani zina zambiri, tiyenera kumvera Yesu. Ngati tiona Yesu kukhala wofunika kwambiri, akamaphunzitsa za chisomo ndi chifundo, tiyenera kumumvera akamanena za chilango. Ndi iko komwe, chifundo sichitanthauza zambiri pokhapokha titapulumutsidwa.

Machenjezo a moto

M’fanizo lina, Yesu anachenjeza kuti oipa adzaponyedwa m’ng’anjo yamoto3,50). M’fanizoli sanali kunena za kuwotchedwa mtembo, koma za “kulira ndi kukukuta mano. M’fanizo lina, Yesu anafotokoza kuti chilango cha kapolo wokhululukidwa amene sanakhululukire wantchito mnzake ndi “chilango” ( Mateyu 1 .8,34). Fanizo lina limafotokoza za munthu woipa amene anamangidwa ndi kuponyedwa “ku mdima” ( Mateyu 22,13). Mdima umenewu akufotokozedwa kuti ndi malo akulira ndi kugwetsa mano.

Yesu sanafotokoze ngati anthu a mumdima amavutika ndi zowawa kapena chisoni, ndipo sanafotokoze ngati akukuta mano chifukwa cha kulapa kapena kukwiya. Chimenecho sindicho cholinga. Ndipotu iye safotokoza mwatsatanetsatane zimene zidzachitikire oipa.

Komabe, Yesu akuchenjeza anthu momveka bwino kuti asamamatire ku chilichonse chimene chingawachititse kuponyedwa m’moto wosatha. “Koma ngati dzanja lako, kapena phazi lako likulakwitsa iwe, ulidule, nulitaye,” Yesu anachenjeza motero. “Kuli bwino kwa iwe kulowa m’moyo wopunduka dzanja kapena wolumala, kusiyana ndi kuponyedwa m’moto wosatha uli ndi manja awiri kapena mapazi awiri.” ( Mateyu 18,7-8 ndi). Ndi bwino kudzikana nokha m’moyo uno kusiyana ndi “kuponyedwa kumoto wa gehena” ( vesi 9 ).

Kodi chilango cha oipa nchosatha? Baibulo lingatanthauzidwe m’njira zingapo pamfundoyi. Mavesi ena amanena za chilango chamuyaya pamene ena amanena za nthawi yake. Koma mwanjira iliyonse, Gahena iyenera kupewedwa mulimonse.

Izi zimandikumbutsa buku la InterVarsity Press pamutuwu, Maonero Awiri a Gahena. Edward Fudge akutsutsa za chiwonongeko; Robert Peterson amatsutsa za kuzunzika kwamuyaya. Pachikuto cha bukuli pali amuna awiri, onse ali ndi manja patsogolo
mutu kusonyeza mantha kapena mantha. Cholinga cha graphic ndi kufotokoza kuti,
Ngakhale pali malingaliro awiri okhudza Gahena, ndi yonyansa ngakhale munthu angawone bwanji Gahena. Mulungu ndi wachifundo, koma munthu amene amatsutsa Mulungu amakana chifundo chake ndipo amavutika.

Malembo a Chipangano Chatsopano

Yesu anagwiritsa ntchito mafano osiyanasiyana kulanga anthu amene amakana chifundo cha Mulungu: moto, mdima, mazunzo ndi chiwonongeko.

Atumwi nawonso analankhula za chiweruzo ndi chilango, koma anazifotokoza m’njira zosiyanasiyana. Paulo analemba kuti: “Koma kwa iwo otetana ndi osamvera chowonadi, chiyanjo ndi mkwiyo zimvera chosalungama; chisautso ndi nsautso pa miyoyo yonse ya anthu akuchita zoipa, choyamba pa Ayuda ndi Ahelene.” ( Aroma 2,8-9 ndi).

Ponena za anthu amene ankazunza mpingo wa ku Tesalonika, Paulo analemba kuti: “Adzamva chilango, chiwonongeko chosatha, chochokera pamaso pa Ambuye, ndi ku mphamvu yake yaulemerero.”2. Atesalonika 1,9). Choncho, mu zikhulupiriro zathu, timatanthauzira gehena monga "kulekana ndi kutalikirana ndi Mulungu."

Chilango cha Chipangano Chakale cha kukana Chilamulo cha Mose chinali imfa, koma aliyense amene amakana Yesu mozindikira ayenera kulandira chilango chokulirapo, akutero Ahebri. 10,28-29: “N’koopsa kugwa m’manja mwa Mulungu wamoyo” ( v. 31 ). Mulungu ndi wachifundo chosayerekezeka, koma munthu akakana chifundo chake, chiweruzo chokha chimatsala. Mulungu safuna kuti aliyense azunzike ndi zoopsa za ku gehena - amafuna kuti onse afike kukulapa ndi chipulumutso (2. Peter 2,9). Koma amene amakana chisomo chodabwitsa chotero adzavutika. Kumeneko ndiko kusankha kwawo, osati kwa Mulungu. Chifukwa chake chikhulupiriro chathu chimati gehena "inasankhidwa ndi ochimwa osasinthika." Ichi ndi gawo lofunika la chithunzichi.

Kupambana komaliza kwa Mulungu kulinso mbali yofunika kwambiri ya chithunzichi. Chilichonse chidzakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wa Khristu chifukwa iye anawombola chilengedwe chonse (1. Korinto 15,20-24; Akolose 1,20). Chirichonse chidzakonzedwa. Ngakhale imfa ndi malo a akufa zidzawonongedwa pamapeto pake ( Chivumbulutso 20,14 ). Baibulo silimatiuza momwe Gehena amafikira pa chithunzichi, komanso sitinena kuti timadziwa. Timangokhulupirira kuti Mulungu, amene ali wodzala ndi chilungamo ndi chifundo, adzathetsa zonse m’njira yabwino kwambiri.

Chilungamo ndi chifundo cha Mulungu

Mulungu wachikondi sangazunze anthu kosatha, ena amati. Baibulo limasonyeza kuti kuli Mulungu wachifundo. M’malo mwake, anamasula anthu ku mavuto awo m’malo moti azivutika kosatha. Chiphunzitso chamwambo cha kulanga helo kosalekeza, ambiri amakhulupirira kuti chimaimira Mulungu molakwa monga sadist wobwezera amene amapereka chitsanzo choipa. Ndiponso, sikungakhale koyenera kulanga anthu kosalekeza kwa moyo umene unatenga zaka zoŵerengeka kapena makumi angapo chabe.

Koma kupandukira Mulungu n’koipa kwambiri, akutero akatswiri a zaumulungu. Sitingathe kuyeza zoyipa ndi nthawi yomwe zimatengera kuti tichite, akufotokoza. Kupha munthu kungatenge mphindi zochepa chabe, koma zotsatira zake zimatha kwa zaka zambiri kapena zaka zambiri. Iwo amati kupandukira Mulungu ndi tchimo lalikulu kwambiri m’chilengedwe chonse, choncho liyenera kulandira chilango choipitsitsa.

Vuto ndilakuti anthu samvetsa chilungamo kapena chifundo. Anthu sali oyenerera kuweruza - koma Yesu Khristu ndiye. Adzaweruza dziko lapansi ndi chilungamo (Sal 9,8; Yohane 5,22; Aroma 2,6-11). Tikhoza kukhulupirira chiweruzo chake, podziwa kuti adzakhala wolungama komanso wachifundo.

Nkhani ya helo ikanenedwa, mbali zina za m’Baibulo zimaoneka ngati zimatsindika za kuzunzika ndi kulanga pamene zina zimagwiritsa ntchito zithunzithunzi za chiwonongeko ndi mapeto. M’malo moyesa kugwirizanitsa mafotokozedwe ena ndi ena, timawasiya onse akulankhula. Zikafika ku gehena, tiyenera kudalira Mulungu, osati malingaliro athu.

Pa zonse zimene Yesu ananena zokhudza Gahena, chofunika kwambiri n’chakuti Yesu ndiye njira yothetsera vutolo. Palibe kutsutsidwa mwa iye (Aroma 8,1). Iye ndiye njira, choonadi ndi moyo wosatha.
