Koma kuti zimene tanena zimveke bwino, ziyenera kusonyezedwa ndi zitsanzo zosiyana ndi kufotokozedwa mwatsatanetsatane pang’ono, kotero kuti m’kufunafuna kwathu kufupikitsa mopambanitsa, mawu ofulumirirapo ayenera kuchotsa phindu la zinthu.
M'nthawi ya Donatus, yemwe dzina lakuti "Donatists" limachokera, pamene gawo lalikulu la anthu mu Africa linathamangira kuphulika kwa zolakwa zawo, pamene, kuyiwala dzina, chikhulupiriro, kuvomereza, iwo anaika kusasamala konyansa kwa wina. munthu pamaso pa Mpingo wa Khristu, ndiye, mwa onse mu Afirika, okhawo amene, kunyoza magawano oipa, analowa Mpingo wa dziko lonse, akanatha kudzisunga osavulazidwa m'malo opatulika a chikhulupiriro cha conciliar; iwo ndithudi anasiyira kwa mibadwo chitsanzo, momwe pambuyo pake mwanzeru kuika thanzi la thupi lonse patsogolo pa kupusa kwa mmodzi, kapena osachepera ochepa. Komanso, pamene poizoni wa Arian unakhudza, osati ngodya ina, koma pafupifupi dziko lonse lapansi, kotero kuti mdima unali utaphimba malingaliro pafupifupi mabishopu onse olankhula Chilatini, otsogozedwa ndi mphamvu, mbali ina mwachinyengo, ndi kuwalepheretsa kusankha. njira yoti titsatire mu chisokonezo ichi - ndiye yekhayo amene adakonda ndi kupembedza Khristu moona mtima ndikuyika chikhulupiriro chakale pamwamba pa chinyengo chatsopanocho adakhalabe osadetsedwa ndi kufalikira komwe kumabwera chifukwa chomukhudza.
Kuopsa kwa nthaŵiyo kunasonyeza bwino lomwe kuti kuyambitsa chiphunzitso chatsopano kukanakhala kwakupha. Chifukwa ndiye osati zinthu zazing'ono zokha zomwe zidagwa, komanso zinthu zofunika kwambiri. Osati kokha zibale, maubale, mabwenzi, mabanja, komanso mizinda, anthu, zigawo, mayiko, ndipo potsiriza Ufumu wonse wa Roma unagwedezeka ndi kugwedezeka mpaka maziko ake. Pakuti pambuyo pa luso loipa lomweli la Arian, monga Bellona kapena ukali, adagwira mfumuyo poyamba, kenako ndikumvera malamulo atsopano ndi anthu onse apamwamba m'nyumba yachifumu, sizinasiye kusakaniza ndi kusokoneza chirichonse, payekha ndi pagulu, zopatulika ndi zamwano, osati kusiyanitsa chabwino ndi choipa, koma kuti akanthe amene iye wamfuna kuchokera pamwamba pa udindo wake. Kenako akazi ananyozedwa, akazi amasiye ananyozedwa, anamwali ananyozedwa, nyumba za amonke zinawonongedwa, atsogoleri achipembedzo anazunzidwa, madikoni anakwapulidwa, ansembe anatengedwa ukapolo; ndende, ndende, ndi migodi zinali zodzaza ndi amuna oyera, amene ambiri a iwo, atakanidwa kulowa m’mizinda, kuthamangitsidwa ndi kuthamangitsidwa, anagwa, kuwonongedwa, ndi kuwonongedwa ndi usiwa, njala, ndi ludzu pakati pa zipululu, mapanga, zilombo; ndi miyala. Ndipo kodi zonsezi sizimachitika kokha chifukwa chiphunzitso chakumwamba chikuchotsedwa ndi zikhulupiriro za anthu, zakale, zomwe zidayima pamaziko olimba, zidagwetsedwa ndi zatsopano zonyansa, zokhazikitsidwa zakale zanyozedwa, malamulo a makolo achotsedwa, zotsimikiza za makolo athu akale amatembenukira ku fumbi ndi fumbi, ndipo mafashoni a chikhumbo choyipa chatsopano samasungidwa mkati mwa malire opanda chilema a zakale zoyeretsedwa ndi zosaipitsidwa?
Chapter 5
Koma mwina timapanga izi chifukwa chodana ndi zatsopano ndi kukonda zakale? Aliyense amene akuganiza choncho, akhulupirire Ambrose wodalitsika, amene m’buku lake lachiŵiri kwa mfumu Gratian, iye mwiniyo akudandaula ndi zowawa za nthaŵiyo, anati: “Komatu, Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse, tasamba ndi kutengedwa ukapolo kwathu ndi kwathu. magazi kupha oulula, andende a ansembe ndi zoyipa za zoyipa zazikuluzi. N’zoonekeratu kuti amene adetsa chikhulupiriro sangakhale otetezeka.’ Ndipo kachiwiri m’bukhu lachitatu la buku lomwelo: “Tiyeni tisunge malamulo a makolo akale ndipo tisayese kuswa mosasamala kwambiri zisindikizo zomwe tinatengera kwa iwo. Bukhu losindikizidwa ilo la Uneneri, ngakhale akulu, kapena mphamvu, kapena angelo, kapena angelo akulu adalimba mtima kulitsegula: Khristu yekha ndiye anali ndi ufulu woti afotokoze izo poyamba. Ndani mwa ife amene angayerekeze kuthyola chisindikizo cha Bukhu la Ansembe, losindikizidwa ndi ovomereza ndi kuyeretsedwa ndi kuphedwa kwa mmodzi kapena awiri? Ena anakakamizika kumasula, koma kenaka anaikanso, kutsutsa chinyengocho; ndipo iwo amene sanayerekeze kumudetsa adakhala ovomereza ndi ofera chikhulupiriro. Kodi tingakane bwanji chikhulupiriro cha anthu amene timalengeza za chipambano chawo?' Ndipo ndithu, tikulengeza, iwe wolemekezeka Ambrose! Ndithu, tikumulengeza, ndipo pomuyamika, timazizwa naye! Ndani, tsono, ali wopusa kotero kuti, ngakhale alibe mphamvu zomugwira, satalika kutsata amene palibe mphamvu ikanawaletsa kuteteza chikhulupiriro cha makolo - ngakhale kuwopseza, kapena kuwongoleredwa, kapena moyo, kapena moyo, kapena moyo. imfa, kapena nyumba yachifumu, palibe alonda, palibe mfumu, palibe ufumu, palibe anthu, palibe ziwanda? Amene, ine ndikunenetsa, chifukwa mouma khosi iwo anasunga zakale zachipembedzo, Mulungu anawaweruza oyenera mphatso yaikulu: kupyolera mwa iwo kubwezeretsa mipingo yakugwa, kutsitsimutsa mafuko akufa ndi mzimu, kuyikanso nduwira zochotsedwa pamitu ya ansembe, kuti aifafanize. kutulutsa zosalemba zonyansazo, ndi banga la kusayeruzika kwatsopano ndi mtsinje wa misozi ya okhulupirika idatsanulidwa pa mabishopu kuchokera kumwamba, ndipo potsiriza kuti apezenso pafupifupi dziko lonse lapansi, atakokedwa ndi mkuntho woyipa wampatuko wosayembekezereka, kuchokera ku kusakhulupirira kwatsopano kupita ku chikhulupiriro chakale, kuchokera ku misala yatsopano kupita ku nzeru zakale, kuchoka ku khungu latsopano kupita ku kuwala kwakale. Koma mu zonsezi pafupifupi ukoma waumulungu wa ovomereza, chinthu chimodzi chofunika kwambiri kwa ife: ndiye, mu nthawi ya Mpingo wakale, anadzitengera okha kuteteza osati mbali ina, koma lonse. Pakuti sikunali koyenera kuti amuna akulu ndi aulemu athandize ndi kuyesayesa kwakukulu kotere kukayikira kosatsimikizirika ndi kaŵirikaŵiri kotsutsana kwa mmodzi kapena awiri kapena atatu, kapena kulowa m’nkhondo chifukwa cha mgwirizano wamba m’chigawo china; koma, potsatira malamulo ndi zigamulo za ansembe onse a Mpingo woyera, olandira chowonadi cha utumwi ndi chogwirizana, anasankha kudzipereka okha, koma osati chikhulupiriro chakale cha chilengedwe chonse.
Chapter 6
Motero, chitsanzo cha amuna odalitsidwa ameneŵa n’chachikulu, mosakaikira aumulungu, ndi choyenera kukumbukiridwa ndi kusinkhasinkha kosatopa kwa Mkristu wowona aliyense; pakuti iwo, ngati choyikapo nyali zisanu ndi ziwiri, chowala kasanu ndi kawiri ndi kuwala kwa Mzimu Woyera, anayika pamaso pa mbadwa lamulo lowala kwambiri, momwe pambuyo pake, pakati pa chinyengo cha mawu opanda pake osiyanasiyana, iwo anayenera kumenyana ndi kulimba mtima kwa nzeru zatsopano zonyansa. ulamuliro wa zoyeretsedwa zakale. Koma izi sizatsopano. Chifukwa mu Tchalitchi nthawi zonse zakhala zikuchitika kuti munthu akamapemphera kwambiri, amakhala wokonzeka kutsutsa zatsopano. Pali zitsanzo zambiri ngati zimenezi. Koma kuti tisatengeke, tiyeni titenge mmodzi yekha, ndipo makamaka akhale wochokera kwa atumwi; chifukwa aliyense akhoza kuona bwino lomwe ndi mphamvu yanji, ndi chikhumbo chotani ndi changu chimene otsatira odalitsidwa a atumwi odalitsidwa anachinjiriza mosasinthasintha umodzi wa chikhulupiriro umene unapezedwa kamodzi. Kamodzi wolemekezeka Agrippinus, bishopu wa Carthage, anali woyamba amene, mosiyana ndi mabuku ovomerezeka aumulungu, mosiyana ndi ulamuliro wa Mpingo wapadziko lonse, mosiyana ndi malingaliro a ansembe anzake onse, mosiyana ndi mwambo ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa makolo, anaganiza. kuti Ubatizo ubwerezedwe. Kupanga kwatsopano kumeneku kunaphatikizapo zoipa zambiri kotero kuti sikunangopereka chitsanzo cha ampatuko onse, komanso kunasokeretsa ena mwa okhulupirika. Ndipo popeza kuti anthu kulikonse anang’ung’udza motsutsana ndi luso limeneli, ndipo ansembe onse kulikonse ankatsutsa, aliyense malinga ndi mlingo wa changu chake, ndiye Papa Stefano wodalitsika, mtsogoleri wa mpando wautumwi, anatsutsa izo pamodzi ndi anzake, koma mwachangu kwambiri. onse, kuganiza, m’lingaliro langa, kuti ayenera kupambana ena onse m’kudzipereka kwake m’chikhulupiriro, monga momwe iye amawaposa iwo mu ulamuliro wa udindo wake. Ndipo potsiriza, mu Epistle to Africa, iye anatsimikizira zotsatirazi: "Palibe chimene chiyenera kukonzedwanso - Mwambo wokha uyenera kulemekezedwa." Munthu woyera ndi wanzeru ameneyu anazindikira kuti kupembedza koona sikuvomereza lamulo lina koma kuti zonse ziyenera kuperekedwa kwa ana aamuna ndi chikhulupiriro chomwecho chimene analandira kwa makolo; kuti tisatsogolere chikhulupiriro monga mwa kufuna kwathu, koma m’malo mwake – kuchitsatira kumene chimatitsogolera; ndi kuti nkoyenera kwa Mkristu kudzichepetsa ndi kudziletsa kusapereka zomwe ziri zake kwa mbadwa, koma kusunga zomwe analandira kuchokera kwa makolo ake. Nanga njira yothetsera vutoli inali yotani? Nanga bwanji, koma mwachizolowezi komanso chodziwika bwino? Ndiko kuti: chakale chinasungidwa, ndipo chatsopano chinakanidwa mwamanyazi.
Koma mwina ndiye kuti luso lake linalibe chithandizo? M'malo mwake, iye anali kumbali yake matalente oterowo, mitsinje yolankhula bwino, otsatira oterowo, kumveka kotere, maulosi a m'Malemba (otanthauziridwa, mwa njira yatsopano ndi yoyipa) kuti, m'malingaliro anga, chiwembu chonsecho. Sizikanatha kugwa mwanjira ina iliyonse chifukwa, kupatula chimodzi - luso lodzitamandira silinayime pazifukwa zake zomwe, zomwe zachita ndikuziteteza. Kenako chinachitika n’chiyani? Kodi zotsatira za Bungwe la African Council kapena lamuloli zinali zotani? Mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu, palibe; chilichonse chinawonongedwa, chinakanidwa, kuponderezedwa ngati maloto, ngati nthano, ngati nthano. Ndipo, o, kupotoza kodabwitsa! Olemba chiphunzitsochi amaonedwa kuti ndi okhulupirika, ndipo otsatira ake ndi ampatuko; aphunzitsi atsutsidwa, ophunzira atsutsidwa; Olemba mabuku adzakhala ana a Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndipo owateteza adzamezedwa ndi moto wa Jahena. Ndiye ndani wopusa amene angakayikire kuti wowunikirayo pakati pa mabishopu onse ndi ofera chikhulupiriro - Cyprian, pamodzi ndi amzake, adzalamulira ndi Khristu? Kapena, m’malo mwake, ndani amene ali wokhoza nsembe yaikulu imeneyi kukana kuti a Donatists ndi anthu ena oipa, amene akudzitamandira kuti anabatizidwanso pa ulamuliro wa bungwe limenelo, adzawotcha m’moto wamuyaya limodzi ndi mdierekezi?
Chapter 7
Zikuwoneka kwa ine kuti chiweruzochi chadziwika kuchokera pamwamba makamaka chifukwa cha chinyengo cha iwo omwe, poganiza kuti abisa chinyengo china pansi pa dzina lachilendo, nthawi zambiri amatenga zolemba za wolemba wina wakale, osati momveka bwino, zomwe mwa kulingalira. za kubisika kwawo zimagwirizana ndi ujkim wa chiphunzitso chawo; kotero kuti akayika chinthu ichi kwinakwake, samawoneka ngati oyamba kapena okhawo. Chinyengo chawo ichi, mwa lingaliro langa, ndi chonyansa chowirikiza: choyamba, chifukwa saopa kupereka ena kuti amwe poizoni wa mpatuko, ndipo kachiwiri, chifukwa ndi dzanja lachipongwe amadzutsa kukumbukira munthu woyera, monga ngati iwo anali kuyatsa makala amene anali kale phulusa, ndi chimene chiyenera kukwiriridwa mwakachetechete, iwo adzizindikiritsa mwatsopano, kubweretsa icho kuunikanso, chotero kukhala otsatira a kholo lawo Hamu, amene sanali kokha kubisa maliseche a wolemekezeka. Nowa, koma anasonyeza kwa ena, kuti amuseke. Chifukwa chake adakwiya chifukwa chonyoza umulungu wake - waukulu kwambiri kotero kuti ngakhale mbadwa zake zidamangidwa ndi themberero la machimo ake; iye sanali m’ng’onong’ono ngati abale ake odalitsika, amene sanadetse umaliseche wa atate wawo wolemekezeka, kapena kuulula kwa ena; ndiponso sadaulule kulakwa kwa munthu woyerayo, choncho adalipidwa ndi madalitso kwa iwo ndi mbadwa zawo.
Koma tiyeni tibwererenso ku mutu wathu. Chifukwa chake tiyenera kudzazidwa ndi mantha akulu ndi mantha a mlandu wa kusintha chikhulupiriro ndi kuipitsa umulungu; osati chiphunzitso cha dongosolo la Mpingo, komanso maganizo categorical atumwi ndi ulamuliro wawo kutiletsa ife ku izi. Chifukwa chakuti aliyense amadziŵa mmene mtumwi Paulo wodalitsika amachitira mosamalitsa, mouma mtima, mowopsa motani, amene, momasuka modabwitsa, anachoka mofulumira kuchoka kwa amene “anawayitanira ku chisomo cha Kristu, napita ku Uthenga Wabwino wina; “amene, motsogozedwa ndi zilakolako, adadzisonkhanitsira kwa iwo okha aphunzitsi, natembenuzira makutu awo kuchowonadi, natembenukira ku nthano zachabe,” amene “akutsutsidwa, popeza anakana lonjezano lawo loyamba,” omwewo anyengedwa ndi amene mtumwiyo analembera abale a ku Roma ponena za iwo kuti: “Ndikudandaulirani, abale, chenjerani ndi iwo akuchita zolekanitsa ndi zosokeretsa, zotsutsana ndi chiphunzitsocho mudachiphunzira inu, ndipo chenjerani ndi iwo. Chifukwa oterowo satumikira Ambuye wathu Yesu Kristu, koma mimba zawo, ndipo ndi mawu okoma ndi osyasyalika asokeretsa mitima ya opusa”, “amene alowa m’nyumba, nanyenga akazi, olemedwa ndi machimo, ogwidwa ndi zilakolako za mitundu mitundu, akazi awo amene amadzinyenga okha. akuphunzira nthaŵi zonse, ndipo sakhoza kufikira chidziwitso cha chowonadi,” “akamwa mwamwano ndi onyenga, . . . , “ophimbidwa ndi kudzikuza, sadziwa kanthu; ayesa kuti kupembedza kupindula,” “pokhala opanda ntchito, amapita kunyumba ndi nyumba; ndipo sakhala aulesi kokha, koma angolankhula, nachita chidwi, nalankhula zosayenera,” “amene akaniza chikumbumtima chokoma, asweka m’chikhulupiriro,” “amene zachabechabe zao zonyansa zidzaunjikana m’kuipa kowonjezereka, ndi mawu awo. idzafalikira ngati malo okhala”. Kwalembedwanso ponena za iwo kuti: “Koma sadzapambana, chifukwa kupusa kwawo kudzaonekera kwa anthu onse, monga momwe kunaululira kupusa kwawo.”
Chapter 8
Ndimo ntawi ena otere, napita kupyola maiko ndi mizinda, ndi kunyamula zonyenga zao, monga malonda, nafika kwa Agalatiya; ndipo pamene, atatha kuwamva, Agalatiya anakhala ngati nseru kuchoonadi, nataya mana a chiphunzitso cha utumwi ndi cha uphungu, nayamba kusangalala ndi zodetsa za kusinthika kwachinyengo, ulamuliro wa ulamuliro wa utumwi unadziwonetsera wokha, “Koma ngati ife, ati mtumwi, kapena mngelo wochokera kumwamba, anakulalikirani china chosiyana ndi chimene tidakulalikirani, akhale wotembereredwa.” N’chifukwa chiyani akunena kuti “koma ngati ife” osati “koma ngati inenso”? Izi zikutanthauza kuti: “Ngakhale Petro, ndi Andreya, ndi Yohane, potsiriza, ngakhale gulu lonse la oimba la atumwi liyenera kulalikira kwa inu china chosiyana ndi chimene tidakulalikirani kale, akhale wotembereredwa. Nkhaza yoopsa, osadzileka wekha, kapena atumwi anzako, kuti chikhulupiriro cholimba chikhazikike! Komabe, si zokhazo: “Angakhale mngelo wochokera kumwamba akakulalikirani china chosiyana ndi chimene tidakulalikirani, akhale wotembereredwa. Kuti chikhulupiriro chisungidwe kamodzi, sikunali kokwanira kungotchula za umunthu wokha, koma chikhalidwe cha angelo apamwamba chinayenera kuphatikizidwa. “Sitingakhale ife, ati, kapena mngelo wochokera Kumwamba.” Osati chifukwa angelo oyera akumwamba akadali okhoza kuchimwa, koma chifukwa akufuna kunena kuti: ngakhale zosatheka kutero - aliyense, aliyense, ayese kusintha chikhulupiriro kamodzi anaperekedwa kwa ife - anathema kukhala. Koma mwina iye ananena izi mosalingalira, m’malo mozitsanulira, monyamulidwa ndi zisonkhezero zaumunthu, m’malo mozilamulira, motsogozedwa ndi kulingalira kwaumulungu? Ayi ndithu. Pakuti pali mawu odzazidwa ndi kulemera kwakukulu kwa mawu obwerezabwereza: “Monga tanena kale, tsopano ndinenanso, ngati wina alalikira kwa inu china chosiyana ndi chimene munachilandira, akhale wotembereredwa.” Iye sananene kuti, “Ngati wina akuuzani zosiyana ndi zimene mudalandira, adalitsike, atamandidwe, avomerezedwe”, koma adati, akhale wotembereredwa, mwachitsanzo, achotsedwe, achotsedwe, achotsedwe; nkhosa zoipitsa gulu la osalakwa la Kristu mwa kusanganikirana kwake koopsa ndi iye.
