“I ka hope, ua hōʻike ʻia mai iā mākou nā ʻōlelo kaulana a St.
"ʻAʻole anei i hāʻawi ka Baibala i ka hoʻonaʻauao maikaʻi i ka poʻe o ke Akua ma ke Kauoha Kahiko? ʻAʻole anei ʻo ia i hāʻawi i ka hoʻonaʻauao maikaʻi loa i ka poʻe o ke Akua ma ke Kauoha Hou? Ma ka hooponopono naauao ana i na makaainana o ke Aupuni o ka lani e hiki mai ana, aole ia i nele i ka naauao e ao aku i na rula kupono no ke kukulu ana i kamaaina maikai o ke aupuni o ka honua, a ua pono ke ao aku ia lakou, no ka mea, he kupa ino o ka honua. ʻAʻole kūpono ke aupuni o ka honua i ke aupuni o ka lani.
No laila, pono ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e ʻimi i nā aʻo ʻana ma ka Baibala.
ʻO ke aʻo kahiko loa e pili ana i kēia, hiki ke loaʻa ma ka ʻōlelo a ka Haku iā ʻAberahama: E lilo ʻo ʻAberahama i lāhui kanaka nui a nui, a nona nā lāhui a pau o ka honua e hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia: no ka mea, ua ʻike mākou ua kauoha ʻo ia i kāna mau keiki a a e malama lakou i na aoao o ka Haku, e hana i ka pono a me ka hoopono. (Gen.18:18,19). Eia, ʻo ka mea mua, ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hānai ʻana a ʻAberahama i kāna mau keiki, ua aʻo ʻia ke kānāwai nui o ka hānai ʻana: E kauoha i kāu mau keiki e mālama i nā ʻaoʻao o ka Haku, e hana i ka pono a me ka pololei - a i ʻole, e ʻōlelo like. mea i keia la, e haawi i ka oukou mau keiki i ka hanai haipule a me ka pono, e like me ke kanawai o ke Akua. ʻO ka lua, ua hōʻike ʻia ma ʻaneʻi nā hopena maikaʻi o ia hānai ʻana: E nui a lehulehu ʻo ʻAberahama [Gen. 17: 5] - hiki i ka makua kāne o kahi ʻohana ke hāʻawi i kāna mau keiki i ka hānai haipule a me ka pono e hiki ke manaʻo mai iā ia iho he nui, mahalo a pōmaikaʻi. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole hiki i ka mea mālama ʻole i ka hānai ʻana i kēia ʻano like ʻole, akā hoʻoweliweli iā ia me ka ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi, ʻike mākou i nā lula o ka hoʻonaʻauao ma nā puke o ke Kauoha Kahiko, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā puke aʻo, ma ka puke o nā ʻōlelo nane a Solomona a ma ka puke a Iesu ke keiki a Sirach.
Me he mea la ia'u, no ka mea haipule, he kamaaina ino o ke aupuni honua, aole ia ka mea makemake ole e haawi i kona naau i ka honua, aka, o ka mea i hanaiia ma ka olelo a ke Akua, wahahee. ʻO ke kamaʻāina ʻino loa o ke aupuni o ka honua ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo ia ka mea nāna i ʻaihue, pepehi, a ma ke ʻano nui i hāpai ʻia ʻaʻole ma ka Baibala, akā ma kahi mea ʻē aʻe. Ma ke ʻano o St. Philaret, ʻo nā kamaʻāina maikaʻi ʻole o ke aupuni o ka honua, kūpono ʻole i ke aupuni o ka lani, ʻaʻole lākou ʻo Ouranopolitans. a he nui ko kakou mau hoa makaainana i keia manawa me ka nana ole i ko lakou aloha aina. Inā ʻaʻole i hānai ʻia nā kānaka e like me ka Baibala, a laila ʻaʻole kūpono lākou i ke aupuni o ka lani a me ko ka honua. ʻO wai ka poʻe Ouranopolitans e hakakā me kēia? ʻAʻole kēia mau ʻōlelo i hōʻike ʻia he pono Karistiano ka aloha ʻāina. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, pono ʻoe e lawe iā lākou i waho o ka pōʻaiapili. Inā mākou e hoʻomaopopo iā lākou ma ke ʻano o ka mea nāna e kumakaia i kona ʻāina hānau no kekahi kumu, ʻo ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa, haʻalele iā ia, kāhea aku i kona poʻe pale e haʻalele - e lilo ia i kamaʻāina ʻino no ke Aupuni o ka Lani, a laila ka E ʻike ka haipule iā ia iho i ke kūʻē kūʻē me ka Palapala Hemolele, kahi e ʻike ai ʻo ʻAberahama (emigrant), Rahab (traitor), Ieremia (defetist) ma waho o ke Aupuni. a no ka mea, ua hooko pono lakou a pau i ka makemake o ke Akua, alaila o ke Akua ponoi no mawaho o ke Aupuni.
Aohe kauoha pela. ʻo ke aloha i ka ʻāina hānau. aka, aia no ke kauoha pololei e hoohanohano a e waiho aku i na luna. ʻO ia ke kumu e komo ai ka uranopolite i nā kaua pono, e uku i ka ʻauhau a hana i nā mea a pau e koi ai ka mokuʻāina iā ia, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia e koi i kona puʻuwai a koi ʻole i ka uhai ʻana i ke kauoha. Hoʻokahi mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā ia mai nā kamaʻāina o ka honua - aia kāna mau makemake a pau ma ka Lani a ma ka Ekalesia - Heaven on Earth. No ke aupuni o ka honua, ʻaʻole pono e hana ka uranopolite me ka hāʻawi ʻole i kona naʻau.
Ke haʻi hou aku nei au i ka Palapala Hemolele a me ka Moʻomeheu (ka mea a nā mea a pau i aʻo ai, i nā manawa a pau a me nā wahi āpau) ʻaʻole ʻike, ma ke kumu, he ʻāina ʻāina pālua no nā Karistiano. Hoʻokahi ko mākou ʻāina hānau - ka lani, a he hōkele kahi a mākou e auwana nei. Wahi a Basil ka Nui, aia mākou ma ka ʻāina ʻē, ʻaʻohe mea i ko mākou wahi e noho ai, akā aia ma kēlā me kēia wahi ke aupuni o ke Akua. A no ka poʻe aloha ʻāina Orthodox makemake e lawelawe i nā haku ʻelua. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻAposetolo ko Sēmisi ʻo kau ki aí: “Ko ha tangata ʻoku nau fakakaukau ʻoku tuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē” (Sēmisi 1:8).
