Umthetho wokucinga kwiinkolo nakwiingozi.

IZIMFANEKISO kwimfundiso yokuba umntu ngumyili wazo isiphelo Ngaba abantu abanakukhetha ekudalweni, kwaye abanokhetho malunga nabo isiphelo; kwaye ukuba akukho ngaphezulu kwesinye ubomi emhlabeni. Zabo amava ibizakubonisa lonto lungisa ayifane yahlangatyezwa ukuba abalungileyo bahlala behlelwa yintlekele, nokuba abangendawo bephumelela rhoqo, ukuba imbuyekezo kunye neenkxwaleko zifikelela kuluntu ngaphandle kwembuyekezo yobulumko; ukuba ababuthathaka nabangamahlwempu bayacinezelwa, nokokuba abanamandla nezityebi banokufumana ngokungalunganga oko bafuna; nokokuba akulingani ithuba yabo bonke. Enye into enxamnye nokwamkelwa kwe umthetho wengcinga as isiphelo yinkolelo yokucamagushela. Ukuba abantu abathile banokukhululeka kwiziphumo zabo izono Ngombingelelo womnye, akukho sizathu yokukholwa lungisa.

The ithemba yovuyo olungapheliyo ngaphakathi zulwini, kwaye i Ukoyika zokubandezeleka okungapheliyo isihogo, njengomvuzo okanye sohlwayo ngezenzo ezimfutshane ubomi emhlabeni, kwaye isekwe phezu kokumkelwa okanye ukwaliwa nje kwemfundiso, ityhafise ukuqonda kwaye inyibilike ukuqonda. Ukumiselwa kwangaphambili kuthetha ukuba nganye umenzi Yakhelwe ngokuzalwa ngenjongo yokuba kulunge okanye kugula: isitya sokuhlaziswa okanye imbeko. Le ngcinga, xa ikholwa ngaphandle kombuzo, ikhoboka amakholwa.

Abo bamkela kuphela UThixo othe, ngokuzithandela, wasola, wababala, waphakamisa, wabeka phantsi, wanika ubomi or ukufa; abo banelisekileyo yinkcazo yokuba wonke umsitho yintando ka UThixo okanye iindlela zeProvidence, zezi, ngokubamba iinkolelo ezinjalo, ukungakwazi ukumbamba umthetho wengcinga as isiphelo. Abanye abantu bayakholelwa kwabaninzi Izithixo, nabanye kuthixo othile, oya kuthi anike iminqweno yabo aze ayithobele izono ukuba icocekile ngeminikelo kunye nezikhungo. Abantu abakholelwa ukuba unkulunkulu onjalo, abafuni a umthetho abangenakho ukubhenela kwiziphelo zabo zokuzingca kwaye bafumane impendulo enqwenelekayo.

Hayi inkolo unako ukusasaza nge umthetho wengcinga, njengoko isiphelo: sisiseko sokuziphatha umthetho. Hayi inkolo ngaphandle kokuziphatha umthetho; kufanele ukuba kuyo yonke inkqubo yenkolo; nakwabanye imo yi. Ke iinkalo zokuziphatha zazo zonke inkolo kwabelwane ngesixa esithile ngabo bonke. Yale sizathu iinzame zenziwe ngempumelelo ukubonisa yesazisi of zonqulo ngokusisiseko, ikhowudi yabo yokuziphatha ibe ngumanyano phakathi kwabo. Unqulo ngalunye, nangona kunjalo, lubeka ukulawulwa kokuziphatha umthetho ezandleni zoko UThixo yeyiphi inkolo. Amandla akhe akholelwa ekubeni makhulu kangangokuba yena ngokwakhe akabophelelekanga ngokokuziphatha umthetho, ukuba ngaphezulu kwayo; yiyo loo nto inkolelo kwintando ye UThixo kunye neendlela zeProvidence; ngenxa yoko nakwabanye, abanye tha ndabuza kolawulo lwalo UThixo, kwaye ekugqibeleni kukukholelwa kumandla angaboniyo kwaye ithuba.

enye sizathu Kutheni abanye abantu benokunqwenela ukungamamkeli? umthetho wengcinga as isiphelo kukuba abaziqondi. Abazi ngenkqubo ye-Universal; abazi nto ngayo indalo ye Izithixo, okanye amalungu lawo Izithixo dlala ukudala, ukugcina kunye nokutshintsha umhlaba; Bazi kancinci malunga indalo ye umenzi ukunxibelelana kwayo ne Izithixo. Ukusilela kwabantu ukukuqonda oku iingongoma kungenxa yokungabikho komgangatho omiselweyo indalo ubudlelwane bonke kungakhathaliseki kwaye izidalwa ezikumhlaba ongabonakaliyo kunye neendiza zazo, nakwindiza ebonakalayo ebonakalayo inokuqikelelwa. Ngenxa yobuthathaka bakhe kunye nokuzingca, umntu wamkela amandla njengalo mgangatho; imigaqo yakhe yokuziphatha ke ngoko kunokwenzeka ukuba kunene. Umntu uyayibona kweyakhe UThixo Indoda enkulu Yiyo ke loo nto ethintelwa ekuboneni inkqubo ukucinga, ngaphandle kwayo ayinakho isitshixo kwiimfihlakalo zeplanethi ebonakalayo.

Hayi inkolo unako ukusasaza nge umthetho wengcinga as isiphelo. Ukanti iimfundiso zakwalizwi zihlala zingangqinelani nayo. Bayenza ivele kwimfihlakalo engaqhelekanga, amabali kunye neemfundiso ezifihlakeleyo umthetho. Nangona kunjalo ezi iifomu isetyenziswa yi-Triune Selves ukufundisa yabo abenzi ubukhulu becala umthetho wengcinga njenge abenzi inokufumana. I ukholo ebambelele “kwiindlela zokuBonelela,” 'ingqumbo ka UThixo”Kunye“ noqobo isono"Ukukhankanya kodwa abambalwa, nkqu nokuthandabuza okuthetha nje ithuba kwaye ingozi, sisitishi esidlula kuwo umenzi wesifundo ngelixa efundiswa ngu ukukhanya ye Intelligence.

The umthetho wengcinga as isiphelo isebenza kuyo cwaka kwaye ayibonakali. Ikhosi yayo ayibonakali ngamehlo. Nokuba iziphumo zayo kwindiza ebonakalayo ayitsali ingqalelo ngaphandle kokuba ayiqhelekanga okanye ayilindelanga. Ke ngabantu abathile ababiziweyo iingozi, kwaye zidityaniswe ithuba; ngabanye, imimangaliso okanye ukuthanda kuka UThixo, kwaye ingcaciso iyafunwa ngaphakathi zonqulo. Akuqondwa ngokubanzi ukuba inkolo yiyo ngokuphathelene Phakathi abenzi kwaye i Izithixo benziwe ngaphandle indalo. The UThixo okanye Izithixo anqulwa ngabantu indalo Izithixo. lo nyaniso ibonakala kwi iimpawu ngazo afuna ukuba zithandwe. Ezi indalo Izithixo, nangona kunjalo, ziphantsi kokugqitywa kweSelune yeTrune: ziyilwe zi-embodi abenzi zeTestune Selves. I-Triune Selves zinikezela ngokwenxalenye yazo abenzi Indlela yokuphumeza unqulo ngenxa- kunye nonqulo olufunwa yi- indalo Izithixo. “UbuThixo” bomntu ngamnye, obethetha ngaphakathi, ngu ucinga yeyakhe Self Triune. Iitayile zecandelo lesithathu zifundisa ezazo abenzi, kunye nokusebenzisa zonqulo njengendlela yokufundisa. Yiyo loo nto umenzi emzimbeni womntu evunyelweyo ukuba aqwalasele eyomntu UThixo Njengomyili wayo kunye nomthombo wamandla, kunye nomphathi we lungisa ngokomgaqo wokuziphatha. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku UThixoIzenzo okanye okushiyiweyo akuhambelani nekhowudi yokuziphatha - eyona khowudi yenzelwe oko UThixo-Umenzi ukholelwa "kwindlela ezingenakuphepheka zeProvidence."

Ngamanye amaxesha iinxalenye ezincinci ze umthetho wengcinga ziya kufumaneka zonqulo; kodwa ke banombala ukuze bahambisane nomzimba wethiology. Xa umenzi ukukhula ngokwaneleyo ukubona ukuba ibotshelelwa emzimbeni ngokwenzelwe umntu indalo, kunye nokwahlula phakathi kwe Izithixo or UThixo kwelinye icala, kwaye, kwelinye, the ukukhanya ifumana kuyo Intelligence, emva koko ukukhanya ndiya umenzi qonda uluvo lwangaphakathi lungisa, eyokwenene iintsingiselo 'yengqumbo ka UThixoNemfundiso yantlandlolo isono.

Iingozi kwaye ithuba ngamagama asetyenziswa ngabantu abangacingi ngokucacileyo xa bezama ukuphendula ngezinto ezithile ezenzekileyo. Nabani na ocinga kufuneka aqiniseke ukuba kwihlabathi ngolungelelwano njengolu akukho ndawo yamagama ingozi kwaye ithuba. Yonke inzululwazi yendalo ixhomekeke ekuphindeni kwakhona izibakala ngolungelelwano oluthile. Okomzimba umthetho indlela izibakala Kuqwalaselwe kwaye kuqinisekiswa ukuphindeka kwabo ngokulandelelana. Ngokomzimba onjalo imithetho lawula zonke iintshukumo zasemzimbeni, ukusuka ekuhlwayeleni ukuya ekuvuneni, ukusuka kumanzi abilayo ukuya kwisikhephe, ukusuka ekudlaleni isixhobo ukuya ekuhanjisweni kombane ngesandi kunye nemifanekiso ngonomathotholo.

Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba akukho siqinisekiso sokulandelelana ngokulandelelana kwe izibakala kunye neziganeko xa sikhangela isimilo umthetho, ngolungelelwano ngokuziphatha? Kukho into enjalo umthetho, kwaye ibanga oko kubiziweyo iingoziYonke into ekhoyo kwindiza ebonakalayo yi ingaphandle a cinga ekufuneka ilungiswe ngulowo ukhuphele i cinga, ngokungqinelana neyakhe xanduva nakwindibaniselwano ye ixesha, imeko kunye nendawo.
