Umsebenzi weCawa yamaOthodoki kwihlabathi lanamhlanje

NgeBhunga eliNgcwele neliKhulu leCawa yamaOthodoki

Igalelo leCawa yobuOthodoki ekuphumezeni uxolo, okusesikweni, inkululeko, ubuzalwana nothando phakathi kwabantu, nasekushenxiseni ucalucalulo lobuhlanga nolunye.

Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade. ( Yoh 3:16 ). IBandla likaKristu likho emhlabeni, kodwa hayi owehlabathi ( funda Yoh 17:11, 14-15 ). Icawe njengoMzimba weLogos owenziwe umntu kaThixo (uJohn Chrysostom, Umthandazo phambi kokuThuthwa, 2 PG 52, 429) bubumba “ubukho” obuphilayo njengomqondiso nomfanekiso woBukumkani bukaThixo Oziqu Zithathu embalini, buvakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zoluntu. indalo entsha (II Kor 5:17), ye amazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha apho kumi ubulungisa ( II Pet 3:13 ); iindaba zehlabathi apho UThixo uya kuzisula zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abantu; Kungabi sabakho kufa, kungabi sabakho nasijwili, nakukhala. Akuyi kuba sabakho ntlungu; (ISityhi. 21: 4-5).

Elo themba linamava kwaye lingcatshwa yiCawe, ngakumbi ngalo lonke ixesha kubhiyozelwa iDivine Eucharist, izisa kunye (I-Kor 11:20). abantwana bakaThixo abasasazekileyo (Yohane 11:52) ngaphandle kokujonga uhlanga, isini, ubudala, intlalo, okanye nayiphi na enye imeko ibe ngumzimba omnye apho. akusekho mYuda namGrike; akusekho khoboka nakhululekileyo, akusekho ndoda nankazana ( Gal 3:28; funda Kol 3:11 ).

Le incasa kwangaphambili ye indalo entsha-wehlabathi elenziwe kumila kumbi—likwabonwa liBandla ebusweni babangcwele balo abathi, ngemizabalazo yabo yasemoyeni kunye nokulunga kwabo, sele bewutyhilile umfanekiso woBukumkani bukaThixo kobu bomi, ngaloo ndlela bengqina kwaye beqinisekisa ukuba ulindelo lwe Ihlabathi loxolo, ubulungisa, nothando, ayisiyiyo i-utopia, kodwa ukukholosa ngezinto ezithenjiweyo ( Heb 11:1 ) , inokufumaneka ngobabalo lukaThixo nangomzabalazo wokomoya womntu.

Ukufumana impefumlelo ethe rhoqo kolu lindelo kunye nokungcamla kwangaphambili koBukumkani bukaThixo, iBandla alinako ukuhlala lingakhathali kwiingxaki zoluntu kwixesha ngalinye. Ngokuchasene noko, unesabelo kwiinkxwaleko zethu kunye neengxaki ezikhoyo, ezithathela kuye-njengoko iNkosi yenza-ukubandezeleka kwethu kunye namanxeba, abangelwa bububi behlabathi kwaye, njengomSamariya olungileyo, egalela ioli newayini phezu kwamanxeba ethu. amazwi ka umonde kunye nentuthuzelo ( Roma 15:4; Heb 13:22 ) nangothando ngokuqhelisela. Igama elibhekiswa kwihlabathi alibhekiselwanga ukuba ligwebe kwaye ligwebe ihlabathi (cf. Yoh 3:17; 12:47), kodwa kukunika ihlabathi ukhokelo lweVangeli yoBukumkani bukaThixo—eyile, uBukumkani bukaThixo. ithemba nesiqinisekiso sokuba ububi, nokuba bunjani na, abunagama lokugqibela embalini kwaye akufunekanga buvunyelwe ukuba bulawule indlela yabo.

Ukuhanjiswa kwesigidimi seVangeli ngokomyalelo wokugqibela kaKristu, Hambani ngoko niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga, nibabhaptizela egameni loYise, loNyana, loMoya oyiNgcwele, nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endinimisele zona. wakuyalela (Mat 28:19) bubuthunywa beCawa. Lo msebenzi kufuneka wenziwe hayi ngobundlongondlongo okanye ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuguqula abantu, kodwa ngothando, ukuthobeka kunye nentlonipho ngokubhekiselele kubuntu bomntu ngamnye kunye nenkcubeko yomntu ngamnye. Yonke iCawa yobuOthodoki inembopheleleko yokuba negalelo kulo msebenzi wobuvangeli basemazweni.

Ithatha kule migaqo kunye namava aqokelelweyo kunye nemfundiso yesithethe sakhe sokuthanda izwe, i-liturgical, kunye nesithethe sakhe sokuzincama, iCawa yobuOthodoki yabelana ngenkxalabo kunye nexhala loluntu lwangoku malunga nemibuzo ebalulekileyo ekhoyo exakeke ihlabathi namhlanje. Ngaloo ndlela unqwenela ukunceda ekucombululeni le miba, evumela ukuba Luxolo lukaThixo, olugqithisele kuko konke ukuqonda ( Filipi 4:7 ) Uxolelwaniso nothando lugqugqisile ehlabathini.

A. Isidima soMntu woMntu

1. Isidima esikhethekileyo somntu, esisukela ekudalweni ngokomfanekiselo nangokufana noThixo nakwindima yethu kwisicwangciso sikaThixo soluntu nehlabathi, saba ngumthombo wempembelelo yabaSeki beCawa, abangene nzulu kwimfihlelo yobuThixo. oikonomia. Ngokuphathelele umntu, uSt. Gregory uMfundi wezakwalizwi ugxininisa ukuba: UMdali umisela uhlobo oluthile lwehlabathi lesibini emhlabeni, likhulu ngobuncinane balo, esinye isithunywa sezulu, umnquli wendalo eyintlanganisela, ucamngca ngendalo ebonakalayo, nomsunguli wendalo eqondakalayo, ukumkani phezu kwayo yonke into esemhlabeni . . . ilungiswe apha kwaye ithuthelwe kwenye indawo kwaye (eyincopho yemfihlakalo) inziwe isithixo ngokutsaleleka kuThixo. (IHomily 45, kwiPascha eNgcwele, 7. PG 36, 632AB). Injongo yokwenziwa komntu iLizwi likaThixo kukwenza umntu abe ngumntu. UKristu, ehlaziyekile ngaphakathi kwakhe uAdam omdala (cf. Efese 2:15); wamenza umntu wobuthixo njengaye, ingqalo yethemba lethu (UEusebius waseKesareya, Imiboniso ngeVangeli, Incwadi 4, 14. PG 22, 289A). Kuba, njengokuba uluntu luphela lwalumi kuAdam omdala, ngokunjalo, ngoku ngokunjalo, lonke uluntu ngoku luhlanganiselwe kuAdam omtsha: Okuphela kozelweyo waba ngumntu ukuze ahlanganisele ndawonye aze abuyisele kwimeko yawo yantlandlolo uhlanga loluntu oluwileyo (uCyril waseAlexandria, Amagqabantshintshi ngeVangeli kaYohane, Incwadi yesi-9, PG 74, 273D–275A). Le mfundiso yeCawe ingumthombo ongapheliyo wayo yonke imizamo yobuKristu yokukhusela isidima nobungangamsha bomntu.
2. Ngesi siseko, kubalulekile ukuphuhlisa intsebenziswano phakathi kwamaKristu kuzo zonke iinkalo zokukhusela isidima somntu kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ukulunga koxolo, ukuze imizamo yokugcina uxolo yawo onke amaKristu ngaphandle kokukhetha ifumane ubunzima kunye nokubaluleka okukhulu.
3. Njengesimiselo sentsebenziswano ebanzi kulo mba ukwamkelwa okuqhelekileyo kwelona xabiso liphakamileyo lomntu kunokuba luncedo. Iicawa ezahlukeneyo zeOthodoki zasekuhlaleni zinokufaka isandla ekuqondeni iinkolo kunye nentsebenziswano ukuze kubekho uxolo kunye nokuhlala ngoxolo kunye eluntwini, ngaphandle koku kubandakanya nayiphi na i-syncretism yenkolo. 
4. Siqinisekile ukuba, njengoko Abasebenzi abangamadlelane kaThixo ( 3 Kor 9:5 ) Sinako ukuqhubela phambili kule nkonzo ifanayo kunye nabo bonke abantu abathanda uxolo olukholekileyo kuThixo, ngenxa yebutho labantu kumanqanaba asekuhlaleni, ezizwe nezizwe ngezizwe. Olu bulungiseleli ngumthetho kaThixo (Mt 9: XNUMX).

B. Inkululeko kunye noxanduva

1. Inkululeko sesinye sezipho ezikhulu zikaThixo emntwini. Lowo wadala umntu kwasekuqalekeni wamenza wakhululeka waza wazimisela, wammisela kuphela ngemithetho yomthetho. (UGregory uMfundi wezakwalizwi, IHomily 14, Ngothando Kumahlwempu, 25. PG 35, 892A). Inkululeko yenza umntu akwazi ukuhambela kwimfezeko yokomoya; ukanti, ikwaquka umngcipheko wokungathobeli njengokuzimela geqe kuThixo yaye ngenxa yoko ukuwa, okubangela ububi ehlabathini ngokulusizi.
2. Imiphumo yobubi iquka oko kungafezeki neentsilelo ezikhoyo namhlanje, kuquka: ukungakhathali; ubundlobongela; ukuyekelela ngokuziphatha; izinto eziyingozi ezifana nokusetyenziswa kwezinto ezikhobokisayo kunye nezinye izinto ezikhobokisayo ngakumbi kubomi bolutsha oluthile; ubuhlanga; ukhuphiswano lwezixhobo neemfazwe, kwakunye neentlekele eziye zabangelwa yimeko yentlalo; ingcinezelo yamaqela athile asekuhlaleni, amaqela onqulo, nabantu bephela; ukungalingani kwezentlalo; imiqathango yamalungelo abantu kwinkululeko yesazela—ngokukodwa inkululeko yonqulo; ulwazi olungelulo kunye nokuguqulwa kweembono zoluntu; inkxwaleko yezoqoqosho; ukwabiwa ngokutsha ngendlela engafanelekanga kwezibonelelo ezibalulekileyo okanye ukunqongophala kwazo ngokupheleleyo; ukulamba kwezigidi zabantu; ukufuduka ngenkani kwabemi kunye nokurhweba ngabantu; ingxaki yeembacu; ukutshatyalaliswa kwendalo; kunye nokusetyenziswa ngokungathintelekiyo kwe-biotechnology yemfuza kunye ne-biomedicine ekuqaleni, ubude, kunye nokuphela kobomi bomntu. Zonke ezi zinto zidala ukuxhalaba okungapheliyo kuluntu namhlanje.
3. Ijongene nale meko, eye yanyelisa ingcamango yomntu, umsebenzi weCawa yobuOthodoki namhlanje—ngokushumayela, imfundiso yobuthixo, unqulo, nomsebenzi wayo wobufundisi—ukuqinisekisa inyaniso yenkululeko kuKristu. Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azindilungele zonke; Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azakhi zonke. Makungabikho bani ufuna okukokwakhe ukulungelwa, kodwa kube kuhle komnye...kuba yini na ukuba inkululeko yam igwetywe sisazela somnye? (Funda eyoku-10 kwabaseKorinte 23:24-29, XNUMX.) Inkululeko engenaxanduva nothando ekugqibeleni ikhokelele ekuphulukaneni nenkululeko.

C. Uxolo Nobulungisa

1. ICawa yobuOthodoki iye yaphawula yaza yatyhila umongo woxolo nobulungisa kubomi babantu. Esona sityhilelo sikaKristu sibonakaliswa njenge ivangeli yoxolo (Efe 6:15), kuba uKristu uzisile uxolo kubo bonke ngegazi lomnqamlezo wakhe ( Kol 1:20 ) eshumayela uxolo kwabakude nabakufuphi ( Efese 2:17 ) kwaye uye waba uxolo lwethu ( Efese 2:14 ) Olu xolo, olugqwesa konke ukuqonda (Phil 4:7), njengoko iNkosi ngokwayo yaxelela abafundi Bayo ngaphambi kothando lwaYo, ibanzi kwaye ibaluleke ngakumbi kunoxolo oluthenjiswe lihlabathi: ndishiya uxolo kuni; ndininika uxolo lwam; andininiki njengokunika kwehlabathi ( Yoh 14:27 ). Oku kungenxa yokuba uxolo lukaKristu lusisiqhamo esivuthiweyo sokubuyiselwa kwezinto zonke kuye, ukutyhilwa kwesidima somntu nobungangamsha bakhe njengomfanekiso kaThixo, imbonakaliso yobunye bendalo obukuKristu phakathi koluntu nehlabathi, kwindalo iphela imigaqo yoxolo, yenkululeko, nobulungisa kwezentlalo, yaye ekugqibeleni nokukhula kothando lobuKristu phakathi kwabantu nezizwe zehlabathi. Ulawulo lwayo yonke le migaqo yobuKristu emhlabeni lubangela uxolo lokwenene. Luxolo oluvela phezulu, iCawa yobuOthodoki eluthandazela rhoqo kwizicelo zayo zemihla ngemihla, icela oku kuThixo usomandla, Oyivayo imithandazo yabo basondela kuye ngokholo.
2. Ukususela koku kuchazwe ngasentla, kucacile ukuba kutheni iCawa, njenge umzimba kaKristu ( IKor 12:27 ) usoloko ethandazela uxolo lwehlabathi lonke; olu xolo, ngokutsho kukaClement wase-Aleksandriya, luyafana nobulungisa (Iistroma 4, 25. PG 8, 1369B-72A). Kule nto, uBasil Omkhulu wongezelela: Andikwazi ukuziqinisekisa ukuba ngaphandle kothando, ngaphandle koxolo nabantu bonke, kangangoko ndinako, ndingazibiza ngokuba ndingumkhonzi ofanelekileyo kaYesu Kristu. (Incwadi yama-203, 2. PG 32, 737B). Njengoko uphawula oNgcwele ofanayo, oku kuyabonakala kuMkristu, kuba akukho nto ibonakalisa ukuba umKristu ungumntu onoxolo (Incwadi yama-114. PG 32, 528B). Uxolo lukaKristu ngamandla afihlakeleyo aphuma kuxolelaniso phakathi komntu noBawo osemazulwini, ngokolungiselelo lukaKristu, ozenza zonke izinto zigqibelele kuye, lowo ke wenza uxolo olungenakuthethwa, olube lunyulwe ngenxa engaphambili kwasephakadeni, osixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe, kwanaye uYise. (UDionysius waseAeropagite, EmaGameni kaThixo, 11, 5, PG 3, 953AB).
3. Kwangaxeshanye, sinyanzelekile ukuba sigxininise into yokuba izipho zoxolo nobulungisa zikwaxhomekeke kwintsebenziswano yabantu. UMoya oyiNgcwele usipha izipho zomoya xa, enguqukweni, sifuna uxolo nobulungisa bukaThixo. Ezi zipho zoxolo nobulungisa zibonakaliswa naphi na apho amaKristu azabalazela khona umsebenzi wokholo, wothando, nethemba kwiNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu (I Tes 1:3).
4. Isono sisigulo sokomoya, esineempawu zangaphandle eziquka iingxwabangxwaba, iyantlukwano, ulwaphulo-mthetho nemfazwe, kwanemiphumo eyintlekele yazo. ICawa izama ukuphelisa kuphela iimpawu zangaphandle zokugula, kodwa ukugula ngokwayo, oko kukuthi, isono.
5. Kwangaxeshanye, iCawa yobuOthodoki ikubona kungumsebenzi wayo ukukhuthaza konke oko kufezwa ngokunyanisekileyo ngenjongo yoxolo (Roma 14:19) yaye ihlahl’ indlela yobulungisa, yobuzalwana, enkululekweni yokwenene, nothando phakathi kwabo bonke abantwana boBukumkani. uBawo omnye wasezulwini kwanaphakathi kwabo bonke abantu ababumba intsapho enye yoluntu. Ubandezeleka nabo bonke abantu abathi kwimimandla eyahlukahlukeneyo yehlabathi bavinjwe iingenelo zoxolo nokusesikweni.

4. Uxolo kunye nokuchaswa kweMfazwe

1. ICawa kaKristu iyayigxeka imfazwe ngokubanzi, iqonda njengesiphumo sobukho bobubi nesono ehlabathini: Zivela phi na iimfazwe nokulwa phakathi kwenu? Aziphumi na kwiziyolo zenu, eziwaphumela umkhosi amalungu enu? ( Jm 4:1 ). Yonke imfazwe isongela ukutshabalalisa indalo kunye nobomi.
   
   Oku kunjalo ngakumbi ngeemfazwe ezinezixhobo zokutshabalalisa ngenxa yokuba iziphumo zazo ziya kuba zoyikekayo kungekuphela nje ngenxa yokuba zikhokelela ekufeni kwenani elingalindelekanga labantu, kodwa nangenxa yokuba zinika ubomi obunganyamezelekiyo kwabo basindileyo. Zikwakhokelela kwizifo ezinganyangekiyo, ezibangela ukuguqulwa kofuzo kunye nezinye iintlekele, ezinempembelelo eyintlekele kwizizukulwana ezizayo.
   
   Ukuqokelelwa kungekuphela nje kwezixhobo zenyukliya, iikhemikhali, kunye nebhayoloji, kodwa kuzo zonke iintlobo zezixhobo, kubeka iingozi ezinzulu kakhulu njengoko zidala umbono ongeyonyani wokongama kunye nokulawula kwihlabathi liphela. Ngaphezu koko, izixhobo ezinjalo zibangela umoya woloyiko nokungathembani, nto leyo ebangela ukuba kubekho ugqatso olutsha lwezixhobo.
2. Icawe kaKrestu, eqonda imfazwe njengesiphumo sobubi nesono esisehlabathini, ixhasa onke amanyathelo kunye neenzame zokuyinqanda okanye ukuyinqanda ngengxoxo kunye nazo zonke ezinye iindlela ezinokubakho. Xa imfazwe iba yinto engenakuthintelwa, iCawa iyaqhubeka ithandazela kwaye ikhathalele ngendlela yokwalusa kubantwana bayo ababandakanyeka kungquzulwano lwasemkhosini ngenjongo yokukhusela ubomi nenkululeko yabo, lo gama isenza zonke iinzame zokuzisa ukubuyiselwa koxolo nenkululeko ngokukhawuleza.
3. ICawa yobuOthodoki izigxeka ngokupheleleyo iimfazwe neemfazwe ezibangelwa yinzondelelo yempambano evela kwimigaqo yonqulo. Kukho inkxalabo enzulu malunga nomkhwa osisigxina wokwanda kwengcinezelo kunye nentshutshiso yamaKristu kunye nolunye uluntu kuMbindi Mpuma nakwezinye iindawo ngenxa yeenkolelo zabo; Okukhathaza ngokufanayo kumalinge okuncothula ubuKristu kwiindawo zabo zemveli. Ngenxa yoko, unxulumano olukhoyo phakathi kweecawa nolwamazwe ngamazwe lusongelwa, ngoxa amaKristu amaninzi enyanzeleka ukuba awashiye amakhaya awo. AmaKristu obuOthodoki ehlabathini lonke abandezeleka kunye namanye amaKristu nabo bonke abo batshutshiswayo kulo mmandla, ngoxa ekwafuna isisombululo esinobulungisa nesihlala sihleli kwiingxaki zalo mmandla.
   
   Iimfazwe eziphenjelelwa bubuzwe nezikhokelela ekubulaweni kohlanga, ukwaphulwa kwemida karhulumente, nokuthinjwa kwemihlaba nazo ziyagwetywa.

E. Isimo Sengqondo SeCawa Ngocalucalulo

1. INkosi, njengoKumkani wobulungisa ( Heb 7:2-3 ) iyalugxeka ugonyamelo nokungekho sikweni ( Nd 10:5 ), ngoxa igxeka ukuphathwa kakubi kommelwane kabani ( Mt 25:41-46; Yoh 2:15-16 ). EBukumkanini baKhe, obubonakaliswa kwaye bukhoyo eBandleni Lakhe emhlabeni, akukho ndawo yentiyo, ubutshaba, okanye ukunganyamezeli (Is 11:6; Rom 12:10).
2. Imbono yeCawa yobuOthodoki koku icacile. Uyakholelwa ukuba uThixo uzenze ngagazi-nye zonke iintlanga zabantu, ukuba zime phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba (IZenzo 17:26) nokuba kuKristu akusekho mYuda namGrike; akusekho khoboka nakhululekileyo, akusekho ndoda nankazana; kuba nina nonke nimntu mnye, nikuKristu Yesu. ( Gal 3:28 ). Kumbuzo: Ngubani ummelwane wam?, uKristu waphendula ngomzekeliso womSamariya olungileyo ( Luka 10:25-37 ). Ngokwenza njalo, Wasifundisa ukuba sidilize yonke imiqobo emiswe bubutshaba nokucalula. ICawa yobuOthodoki iyavuma ukuba wonke umntu, kungakhathaliseki ibala lolusu, unqulo, uhlanga, isini, uhlanga, nolwimi, udalwe ngokomfanekiselo nangokufana noThixo, yaye unamalungelo alinganayo ekuhlaleni. Ngokuvisisana nale nkolelo, iCawa yobuOthodoki iyalugatya ucalucalulo ngaso nasiphi na kwezi zizathu zikhankanywe ngasentla ekubeni ezi zibonisa umahluko wesidima phakathi kwabantu.
3. ICawe, ngomoya wokuhlonipha amalungelo oluntu nokuphathwa ngokulinganayo kwabantu bonke, ikuxabisile ukusetyenziswa kwale migaqo ngokwemfundiso yayo ngeesakramente, usapho, indima yazo zombini izini eCaweni, kunye nemigaqo yeCawe iyonke. isithethe. ICawe inelungelo lokuvakalisa nokungqina kwimfundiso yayo kuluntu.

F. Ubuthunywa beCawa yobuOthodoki
Njengengqina lothando ngeNkonzo

1. Ekuphumezeni uthumo lwayo losindiso ehlabathini, iCawa yobuOthodoki inyamekela bonke abantu abasweleyo, kuquka abalambileyo, abangamahlwempu, abagulayo, abaneziphene, abalupheleyo, abatshutshiswayo, abasekuthinjweni nasentolongweni, abangenamakhaya, iinkedama. , amaxhoba okutshatyalaliswa kunye neengxabano zomkhosi, abo bachatshazelwa kukurhweba ngabantu kunye neendlela zanamhlanje zobukhoboka. Iinzame zeCawa yobuOthodoki zokujongana nobuhlwempu kunye nokungabikho kokusesikweni kwezentlalo yimbonakaliso yokholo lwayo kunye nenkonzo eNkosini, Ezibonakalisa kuye wonke umntu kwaye ngokukodwa kwabo basweleyo: Njengoko nenjenjalo nakumnye waba bazalwana bam bangabona bancinane, nenjenjalo nakum ( Mat 25:40 ). Le nkonzo yentlalo-ntle inamacala amaninzi yenza ukuba iCawe isebenzisane namaziko oluntu afanelekileyo.
2. Ukhuphiswano kunye nobutshaba emhlabeni bazisa intswela-bulungisa kunye nokufikelela ngokulinganayo phakathi kwabantu kunye nabantu kwimithombo yendalo kaThixo. Bahlutha izigidi zabantu izinto ezisisiseko kwaye zikhokelela ekuthotyweni kobuntu; ziphembelela ukufuduka kwabantu abaninzi, yaye ziphembelela ungquzulwano lobuzwe, unqulo nolwentlalo, nto leyo esongela umanyano lwasekuhlaleni.
3. ICawe ayinakuhlala ingakhathali phambi kweemeko zoqoqosho ezichaphazela kakubi uluntu luphela. Akagxininisi kuphela kwimfuno yokuba uqoqosho lusekelwe kwimigaqo yokuziphatha, kodwa kufuneka lusebenze ngokubonakalayo iimfuno zabantu ngokuhambelana nemfundiso yoMpostile uPawulos: Ngokusebenza ngolu hlobo, bameleni abaswele amandla. Yaye khumbulani amazwi eNkosi uYesu, xa yathi, ‘Kunoyolo ngakumbi ukupha kunokwamkela’ ( IZenzo 20:35 ). UBasil Omkhulu ubhala ukuba umntu ngamnye makakwenze kube ngumsebenzi wakhe ukunceda abo basweleyo kwaye angazanelisi iintswelo zakhe (Imithetho Yokuziphatha, 42. PG 31, 1025A).
4. Umsantsa ophakathi kwezityebi namahlwempu uya usiba mandundu kakhulu ngenxa yeengxaki zemali, ezidla ngokuphumela kwingeniso engalawulekiyo ngabanye abameli bemibutho yezemali, ukuxinana kobutyebi ezandleni zabambalwa, kunye nezenzo zoshishino ezigqwethekileyo ezingenabulungisa novelwano loluntu. , ezingazixhasiyo iimfuno zokwenene zoluntu. Uqoqosho oluzinzileyo lolo ludibanisa impumelelo kunye nobulungisa kunye nomanyano lwentlalo.
5. Ngenxa yeemeko ezimbi ngolo hlobo, uxanduva olukhulu lweBandla lubonwa ngokoyisa indlala nazo zonke ezinye iindlela zokuswela ehlabathini. Esinye seziganeko ezinjalo kwixesha lethu—apho amazwe asebenza phakathi kwenkqubo yezoqoqosho emanyeneyo—salatha kwintlekele enzulu yehlabathi yokuzazi, kuba indlala ayisisongeli nje kuphela isipho sikaThixo sobomi babantu bonke, kodwa ikwakhubekisa isidima esiphakamileyo nobungcwele bomntu. , ngoxa kwangaxeshanye ekhubekisa uThixo. Ngoko ke, ukuba ukuxhalabela ukutya kwethu kungumbandela wezinto eziphathekayo, ngoko ke inkxalabo yokondla ummelwane wethu ngumbandela wokomoya ( Jm 2:14-18 ). Ngenxa yoko, ngumsebenzi wazo zonke iiCawa zeOthodoki ukubonisa ubumbano kunye nokulawula uncedo ngokufanelekileyo kwabo basweleyo.
6. IBandla eliNgcwele likaKristu, kwiqumrhu lalo lehlabathi-elibandakanya abantu abaninzi emhlabeni-ligxininisa umgaqo womanyano lwehlabathi kwaye lixhasa intsebenziswano esondeleyo yezizwe kunye namazwe ngenjongo yokusombulula iingxabano ngoxolo.
7. ICawe ixhalabile ngokunyanzeliswa okuhlala kusanda eluntwini kwendlela yokuphila yokuthengisa, engenazo imigaqo yokuziphatha yobuKristu. Ngaloo ndlela, ukuthengwa kwezinto ezidityanisiweyo kunye nehlabathi jikelele kukhokelela ekuphulukaneni neengcambu zomoya zezizwe, ukulahlekelwa yinkumbulo yembali, kunye nokulibala izithethe zabo.
8. Amajelo osasazo amaninzi ahlala esebenza phantsi kolawulo lwengcamango yomanyano lwamazwe ngamazwe olukhululekileyo kwaye ngaloo ndlela lunikezelwa njengesixhobo sokusasaza ukuthengwa kwempahla kunye nokuziphatha okubi. Izimo zokungahloneli—maxa wambi ezinyelisayo—izimo zengqondo ngokuphathelele imilinganiselo yonqulo zibangela inkxalabo ngokukhethekileyo, njengoko zibangela iyantlukwano nongquzulwano ekuhlaleni. ICawa ilumkisa abantwana bayo ngomngcipheko wokuphembelela izazela zabo ngamajelo eendaba, kwakunye nokusetyenziswa kwawo ekulawuleni abantu nezizwe endaweni yokuhlanganisana.
9. Nanjengoko iCawe iqhubela phambili nokushumayela kwaye iqonda ubuthunywa bayo bosindiso kwihlabathi, isoloko ijongana neentetho zokungakhathali. IBandla likaKristu ehlabathini libizelwe ukuba livakalise kwakhona kwaye likhuthaze umxholo wobungqina balo besiprofeto ehlabathini, obusekelwe kumava okholo nokukhumbula uthumo lwalo lokwenyani ngokubhengeza uBukumkani bukaThixo nokulima umhlaba. imvakalelo yomanyano phakathi komhlambi wayo. Ngale ndlela, uvula ibala elibanzi lamathuba njengoko eyona nto ibalulekileyo ye-ecclesiology yakhe ikhuthaza umthendeleko we-Ekaristi kunye nomanyano kwihlabathi elidlamkileyo.
10. Ulangazelelo lokukhula okuqhubekayo kwimpumelelo kunye nokungathintelwa kokuthengwa kwempahla kukhokelela ekusetyenzisweni ngendlela engalinganiyo kunye nokuncipha kobutyebi bendalo. Indalo, eyadalwa nguThixo waza wayinika uluntu sebenza kwaye ulondoloze (cf. Gen 2:15), inyamezela imiphumo yesono somntu: Kuba indalo yalulanyiselwa kokuphuthileyo, kungengakuthanda kwayo, kodwa kungokuthanda kwalowo wayithobayo. ngokuba nayo indalo ngokwayo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala, isingiswe enkululekweni yozuko lwabantwana bakaThixo. Kuba siyazi ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina, inenimba kunye, unangoku ( Roma 8: 20-22 ).
    
    Ingxaki yendalo, enxulumene nokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nokufudumala kwehlabathi, yenza ukuba iCawe yenze konke okusemandleni ayo omoya ukukhusela indalo kaThixo kwimiphumo yokubawa kwabantu. Njengokwanelisa iintswelo zezinto eziphathekayo, ukubawa kukhokelela kubuhlwempu bokomoya bomntu kunye nokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo. Asifanele silibale ukuba ubuncwane bomhlaba abuyompahla yethu, kodwa boMdali: LelikaYehova ihlabathi, nenzaliseko yalo, elimiweyo, nabahleli kulo ( INdumiso 23:1 ) Ngoko ke, iCawa yobuOthodoki igxininisa ukukhuselwa kwendalo kaThixo ngokuhlakulela uxanduva lomntu kwindawo esisingqongileyo esiyinikwe nguThixo kunye nokukhuthaza ukulunga kokungakhathali nokuzibamba. Sibophelelekile ukukhumbula ukuba kungekuphela nje abakhoyo, kodwa kwanezizukulwana ezizayo zinelungelo lokunandipha izinto zemvelo esizinikwe nguMdali.
11. KwiCawa yobuOthodoki, ukukwazi ukuhlolisisa ihlabathi ngokwenzululwazi sisipho esivela kuThixo esiya eluntwini. Noko ke, kunye nesi simo sengqondo sihle, iCawa ngaxeshanye iyaziqonda iingozi ezifihlakeleyo ekusebenziseni izinto ezithile eziphunyeziweyo zenzululwazi. Ukholelwa ukuba inzululwazi ikhululekile ukuba iqhube uphando, kodwa isazinzulu sikwanyanzelekile ukuba siluphazamise olu phando xa lutyeshela iziseko ezisisiseko zobuKristu nezobuntu. Ngokutsho kweSt. Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azindilungele zonke ( IKor 6:12 ) kwaye ngokutsho kukaSt. Ukulunga asikokulunga ukuba iindlela azilunganga (1st Imfundiso yezakwalizwi, 4, PG 36, 16C). Le mbono yeCawa ingqina iyimfuneko ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi ukuze kumiselwe imida efanelekileyo yenkululeko kunye nokusetyenziswa kweziqhamo zenzululwazi, apho phantse kuzo zonke izifundo, kodwa ngokukodwa kwi-biology, sinokulindela zombini impumelelo emitsha kunye neengozi. Kwangaxeshanye, sigxininisa ubungcwele obungathandabuzekiyo bobomi bomntu ukususela ekukhawulweni kwabo.
12. Kule minyaka idlulileyo, sijonge uphuhliso olukhulu kwisayensi yebhayoloji nakwi-biotechnologies ehambelanayo. Uninzi lwezi mpumelelo zithathwa njengeziluncedo eluntwini, ngelixa ezinye ziphakamisa iingxaki zokuziphatha kwaye ezinye zibonwa njengengamkelekanga. ICawa yobuOthodoki ikholelwa ukuba umntu akayonxalenye nje yeeseli, amathambo namalungu; kananjalo umntu akaphinda achazwe zizinto zebhayoloji. Umntu udalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo (Gen 1:27) kwaye ukubhekisa eluntwini kufuneka kwenzeke ngentlonipho efanelekileyo. Ukuqondwa kwalo mgaqo usisiseko kukhokelela kwisigqibo sokuba, kwinkqubo yophando lwezenzululwazi kunye nasekusetyenzisweni kwezinto ezintsha ezifunyenweyo kunye nezinto ezintsha, kufuneka silondoloze ilungelo elipheleleyo lomntu ngamnye lokuhlonitshwa nokuwongwa kuwo onke amanqanaba ubomi. Ngaphezu koko, sifanele sikuhlonele ukuthanda kukaThixo njengoko kubonakaliswe kwindalo. Uphando kufuneka luthathele ingqalelo imigaqo yokuziphatha neyomoya, kunye nemithetho yobuKristu. Ngokwenene, intlonipho efanelekileyo kufuneka inikwe yonke indalo kaThixo ngokubhekiselele kwindlela uluntu oluyiphatha ngayo kunye nenzululwazi, ngokuhambelana nomyalelo kaThixo (Gen 2: 15).
13. Kula maxesha okuziphatha ngokwenkolo aphawulwa yintlekele yokomoya yempucuko yangoku, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaqambisa ukubaluleka kobungcwele bobomi. Ukungaqondwa kakuhle kwenkululeko njengokuyekelela kukhokelela ekwandeni kolwaphulo-mthetho, ukutshatyalaliswa nokuthotywa kwezo zinto zigqalwa njengezibalulekileyo, kwakunye nokungahlonelwa ngokupheleleyo kwenkululeko yommelwane nobungcwele bobomi. Isithethe samaOthodoki, esakhiwe ngamava eenyaniso zobuKristu ekusebenzeni, ngumthwali wokomoya kunye ne-ethos ye-ascetic, ekufuneka ikhuthazwe ngakumbi kwixesha lethu.
14. Ukhathalelo olukhethekileyo lobufundisi lweCawe kubantu abatsha lumele inkqubo engapheziyo nengaguqukiyo yokwakheka egxile kuKrestu. Kambe ke, uxanduva lokwalusa lweCawa lukwadlulela nakwiziko losapho elimiselwe nguThixo, elisoloko lihlala lisekelwe kwimfihlelo engcwele yomtshato wamaKristu njengomanyano phakathi kwendoda nomfazi, njengoko kubonakaliswa kumanyano lomtshato wobuKristu. UKristu neBandla laKhe (Efese 5:32). Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi xa kujongwa iinzame kumazwe athile zokumisela ngokusemthethweni kunye nakwiindawo ezithile zobuKristu ukuthethelela ngokwezakwalizwi ezinye iindlela zokuhlalisana kwabantu ezichasene nesithethe nemfundiso yobuKristu. ICawe inethemba lokuphinda kuhlaziywe yonke into ekuMzimba kaKristu, ikhumbuza wonke umntu oza emhlabeni, ukuba uKristu uya kubuya kwakhona ekuBuyeni kwakhe okwesibini. ugweba abaphilileyo nabafileyo ( 1 Pet. 4, 5 ) yaye oko Ubukumkani bakhe abuyi kuba nasiphelo ( Luka 1:33 )
15. Kumaxesha ethu, njengokuba kuyo yonke imbali, ilizwi lesiprofeto nelokwalusa leBandla, ilizwi lentlawulelo loMnqamlezo kunye noVuko, libhenela entliziyweni yoluntu, lisibiza, kunye noMpostile uPawulos, ukuba samkele kwaye sibe namava. Iinto zonke eziyinene, iinto zonke ezindilekileyo, iinto zonke ezibubulungisa, iinto zonke ezinyulu, iinto zonke ezithandekayo, iinto zonke eziludumo lulungileyo (Phil 4:8)—oluluthando lwedini lweNkosi yakhe ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, ekuphela kwendlela eya kwihlabathi loxolo, ubulungisa, inkululeko, nothando phakathi kwabantu naphakathi kwezizwe, ezikuphela komlinganiselo nowokugqibela usoloko uyiNkosi engcwalisiweyo. ( ISityhilelo 5:12 ) ngenxa yobomi behlabathi, oko kukuthi, uthando olungenasiphelo lukaThixo kuThixo Oziqu Zithathu, uYise, noNyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele, ekukubo bonke uzuko namandla kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. kwiminyaka yobudala.

Qaphela kwiBhunga eliNgcwele neliKhulu leCawa yamaOthodoki: Ngenxa yemeko yezopolitiko enzima kuMbindi Mpuma, i-Synaxis ye-Primates kaJanuwari 2016 yagqiba ekubeni ingayihlanganisi iBhunga eConstantinople kwaye ekugqibeleni yagqiba ekubeni idibanise iBhunga eliNgcwele kunye neLikhulu. I-Academy ye-Orthodox yaseKrete ukusuka kwi-18 ukuya kwi-27 kaJuni 2016. Ukuvulwa kweBhunga kwenzeka emva kwe-Divine Liturgy yomthendeleko wePentekosti, kunye nokuvalwa - ngeCawa yabo bonke abaNgcwele, ngokwekhalenda ye-Orthodox. I-Synaxis ye-Primates kaJanuwari 2016 ivume izicatshulwa ezifanelekileyo njengezinto ezintandathu kwi-ajenda yeBhunga: Umsebenzi weCawa yamaOthodoki kwihlabathi langoku; I-diaspora yamaOthodoki; Ukuzimela kunye nendlela yokubhengezwa kwayo; Umthendeleko womtshato kunye nezithintelo zawo; Ukubaluleka kokuzila ukutya kunye nokugcinwa kwayo namhlanje; Ubudlelwane beCawa yeOthodoki kunye nehlabathi lonke lamaKristu.
