KumaKristu eBandla laseGrisi
Nizalwa eNkosini, bathandwa.
Njengoba nazisiwe, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, okungukuthi, ngo-January 23, 2024, i-Hierarchy of the Church of Greece, okuyigunya eliphakeme leBandla lethu, yacwaninga ngendaba esiye yavela ezinsukwini zethu, okungukuthi, ukusungulwa. “yomshado wesintu” wongqingili, nayo yonke imiphumela lokhu okuyiletha emthethweni womndeni.
I-Hierarchy yaxoxisana ngalolu daba ngokuzibophezela nangokwengqondo ngokwanele, yafakazela futhi ubunye bayo, yabe isinquma ngazwi linye izinto ezidingekayo ezamenyezelwa.
Esinye sezinqumo asesithathile esokwazisa ibandla lakhe elifuna ukuzwa izinqumo nezikhundla zakhe.
Kulo mongo, i-Hierarchy inxusa kini nonke ukuthi nikhulume iqiniso ngale ndaba ebucayi.
1. Umsebenzi weBandla phakathi namakhulu eminyaka uhlukene kabili, okungukuthi imfundiso yenkolo, ngokuvuma ukholo lwalo njengoba lwembulwe nguKristu futhi lwaphila ngabangcwele balo, nokwelusa, ngokushumayela nokuholela abantu kuKristu ophilayo. Lo msebenzi wakhe ungabonakala emiBhalweni Engcwele nasezinqumweni zeSinodi Senkolo Yama-Ecumenical kanye Nendawo, ebeka imibandela yenkolo yobu-Orthodox nemithetho engcwele futhi ichaze imingcele lapho wonke amalungu ayo, abefundisi, izindela kanye namakholwa kufanele. qaphela. Ngale ndlela, abelusi beBandla, okungukuthi belapha izifo zomoya zabantu ukuze amaKrestu aphile ekuhlanganyeleni noKristu nabafowabo, azikhulule ekuzicabangeni, athuthukise ukuphana nokuphana, okungukuthi, uthando lobugovu, lobugovu, lube uthando olungenabugovu.
2. UNkulunkulu uthanda bonke abantu, abalungileyo nabangalungile, abahle nababi, abangcwele nezoni, kanjalo neBandla. Phela iBandla liyisibhedlela sikamoya esiphilisa abantu ngaphandle kokushiya muntu, njengoba umzekeliso womSamariya Olungileyo owashiwo nguKristu (Luka I', 3037) ubonisa. Izibhedlela nodokotela benza okufanayo ngezifo ezingokomzimba. Uma odokotela behlinza abantu, akekho ongathi abanalo uthando.
Kodwa abantu basabela ngendlela ehlukile kulolu thando ngeBandla; abanye bayayifuna, abanye abayifuni. Ilanga lithumela imisebe yalo kuyo yonke indalo, kodwa enye iyakhanya futhi enye iyasha, futhi lokhu kuncike esimweni salabo abathola imisebe yelanga. Ngakho-ke iBandla liyabathanda bonke abantwana balo ababhapathiziwe kanye nabo bonke abantu abayindalo kaNkulunkulu, abancane nabadala, abangashadile nabashadile, abefundisi, izindela namakholwa, abafundile nabangafundanga, amakhosana nabampofu, abathandana nobulili obuhlukile nobulili obufanayo, futhi benza uthando lwabo ngokuphana. ngokwanele , Yebo, ukuthi bona ngokwabo bayakufuna futhi bahlala eBandleni ngempela.
3. Imfundiso yenkolo yeBandla mayelana nomshado isuka eBhayibhelini eliNgcwele, imfundiso yoBaba beBandla kanye nokuhlinzekwa kweSakramente Lomshado. Encwadini kaGenesise kulotshiwe ukuthi: “27. UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane. 28. UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: “Zalani, nande, nigcwalise umhlaba, niwudle, nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, naphezu kwezilwane, naphezu kwezinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwazo zonke izifuyo; phezu komhlaba wonke) naphezu kwazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni” (Genesise 1:27-28). Lokhu kusho ukuthi “okubili kwezimo ezimbili nokuphelelisana kwazo akuzona izinto eziqanjiwe emphakathini, kodwa zihlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu”; “ubungcwele bokuhlangana kowesilisa nowesifazane bubhekisela ebuhlotsheni phakathi kukaKristu neBandla”; “Umshado wamaKristu awusona nje isivumelwano sokuhlalisana, kodwa uyiSakramente elingcwele lapho owesilisa nowesifazane bethola ngalo umusa kaNkulunkulu wokuqhubekela ekumisweni kwabo kobunkulunkulu”; "Ubaba nomama bayizici ezakha ubuntwana nempilo evuthiwe".
Yonke imfundiso yenkolo yomshado ibonakala ngokucacile ngokulandelana kwemfihlakalo yomshado, emicikilishweni nasezibusisweni. Kulemfihlakalo kumenyezelwa ukuhlangana kowesilisa nowesifazane kuKristu Jesu, kube nezimo ezidingekayo. Imiphumela yoMshado kuKristu ukudalwa komshado omuhle nomndeni, ukuzalwa kwabantwana, njengesithelo sothando lwabaganene ababili, owesilisa nowesifazane, kanye nobudlelwano babo nempilo yesonto. Ukungabi nabantwana, ngaphandle kwephutha labashadile, akuwubhidli umshado kuKristu.
Umndeni wamaKristu ongokwesiko unobaba, umama nezingane, futhi kulo mndeni izingane zikhula zazi ukuba ngumama nokubaba, okuyoba izici ezibalulekile ekukhuleni kwabo okuqhubekayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, njengoba kubonakala ku-"Trebnik" yeSonto, kukhona ukuxhumana okucacile phakathi kwezimfihlakalo zokubhapathizwa, ukugcotshwa, umshado, ukuvuma izono kanye neSidlo esiNgcwele soMzimba neGazi likaKristu. Noma yikuphi ukuhlukana kulobu budlelwano kudala izinkinga zesonto.
Yingakho sibhapathizwa futhi sigcotshwa ukuba sihlanganyele eMzimbeni naseGazini likaKristu. Umkhosi womshado wenzeka ukuze abashadile nomndeni bakwazi ukubamba iqhaza kuMfihlakalo ye-Ekaristi futhi bahlanganyele uMzimba neGazi likaKristu. Noma yiliphi ikhefu kulokhu kuxhumana kwezimfihlakalo kuwukuwa.
IBandla lisekelwe kuleli siko elanikezwa abangcwele nguNkulunkulu futhi alikwazi ukwamukela noma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lomshado, ingasaphathwa eyalokho okubizwa ngokuthi “umshado wobungqingili”.
4. Esimeni somthetho, umbuso nezikhungo zawo unamandla okubhala imithetho kanye nokushaya imithetho ukuze kube nobumbano, ukuthula nothando emphakathini.
Kodwa-ke, iBandla liyisikhungo sasendulo, linamasiko eminyaka eminyaka, lihlanganyele kuzo zonke izilingo zabantu ngaso sonke isikhathi, liye labamba iqhaza elibalulekile enkululekweni yalo, njengoba kubonakala emlandweni, endala kakhulu futhi iningi. yakamuva, futhi wonke umuntu kufanele ayinikeze imfanelo yayo ngokufanele, inhlonipho. Phela, bonke ababusi, ngaphandle kwabambalwa, bangamalungu alo ngamandla nangesibusiso. IBandla alisekeli futhi aliphikisani, kodwa libusa ngokukaNkulunkulu futhi lelusa phezu kwakho konke. Ngakho-ke, inesizathu esikhethekile sokuhlonishwa.
Odabeni lwalokho okubizwa “ngomshado wezombangazwe wongqingili”, iSinodi Engcwele ayigcini nje ngokuthula, kodwa kufanele ikhulume ngothando nesihe kubo bonke. Kungakho abaphathi beSonto LaseGreece esinqumweni salo sakamuva, ngazwi linye nangendlela ebumbene, ngenxa yezizathu eziziphikisile, bamemezela ukuthi “bawuphikisa ngokuphelele futhi ngokusobala umthethosivivinywa ohlongozwayo”.
Futhi lesi sinqumo esicacile sisekelwe eqinisweni lokuthi “abaqalisi balo mthethosivivinywa nalabo abavumelana nawo bakhuthaza ukuqedwa kobaba nomama kanye nokuguqulwa kwabo babe umzali ongathathi hlangothi, ukunyamalala kwezindima zabo bobabili ubulili phakathi komkhaya kanye nendawo. ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuvikelwa kwezintshisakalo zeFuture Children kanye Nezinqumo Zobulili Zabantu Abadala Abanobungqingili'.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusungulwa “kokutholwa kwezingane” kugxeka izingane zesikhathi esizayo ukuba zikhule ngaphandle kukayise noma umama endaweni yokudideka kwendima yabazali, okushiya iwindi elivulekile lalokho okubizwa “ngokukhulelwa kwengane” okuzonikeza isisusa sokuxhashazwa kwabesifazane abasengozini. kanye nokushintsha isikhungo esingcwele somndeni.
IBandla, okumele liveze intando kaNkulunkulu futhi liqondise amalunga alo ngokweqiniso, alikwazi ukukwamukela konke lokhu, ngoba uma kungenjalo lizokhaphela umsebenzi walo. Futhi lokhu akwenzi nje ngokuthanda amalungu aso kuphela, kodwa nangenxa yothando ngombuso ngokwawo nezikhungo zawo, ukuze abe neqhaza emphakathini futhi abe nesandla ebunyeni bawo.
Yebo, siyawamukela amalungelo abantu uma behamba ngemikhawulo evumelekile, kuhlanganiswe nemisebenzi yabo, kodwa ukwenziwa kube semthethweni “kwelungelo” eliphelele lokuba unkulunkulu kuyinselele emphakathini ngokwawo.
5. IBandla liyawuthakasela umndeni, okuyiseli yeBandla, umphakathi kanye nesizwe. Umbuso kufanele futhi ukusekele lokhu, njengoba kuMthethosisekelo wamanje kuyaqondakala ukuthi “umndeni njengesisekelo sokugcinwa nokuthuthukiswa kwesizwe, kanye nomshado, umama nobungane ngaphansi kokuvikelwa kukahulumeni” (Isigaba 21) ).
Ngokuvumelana ne-Statutory Charter of the Greek Church, okuwumthetho wezwe (590/1977), “IBandla lamaGreki libambisana ngemva kombuso, ezindabeni ezinenzuzo efanayo njengokuthi... ukukhuthazwa kwelungiselelo lomshado nomndeni” . 2).
Ngakho-ke sicela uMbuso ukuthi ubhekane nenkinga yezibalo zabantu osekuphenduke ibhomu elilungele ukuqhuma futhi okuyinkinga enkulu yesizwe yesikhathi sethu, isixazululo esibukelwa phansi umthethosivivinywa osezophasiswa, futhi sicela ukuxhasa imindeni emikhulu enikela kakhulu emphakathini nasesizweni.
Konke lokhu okungenhla ubuholi beBandla lamaGreki bumemezela kuwo wonke amalungu alo, ngomqondo wemfanelo wobufundisi nothando, ngoba akukhona nje ukuthi lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “umshado wobungqingili” kuwukubukela phansi umshado wamaKristu kanye nokumiswa komndeni wendabuko wamaGreki. , okushintsha indinganiso yawo, kodwa futhi ngenxa yokuthi ubungqingili balahlwa yilo lonke isiko lesonto, kusukela kumphostoli uPawulu ( Roma 1, 2432 ), futhi likhuluma ngokuphenduka, okuwushintsho endleleni yokuphila.
Yebo, kunesimiso esiyisisekelo sokuthi nakuba iBandla lilahla zonke izono njengokuhlukanisa umuntu nokukhanya nothando lukaNkulunkulu, ngesikhathi esifanayo lithanda sonke isoni ngoba naso “sinomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu” futhi singathola “ukufana” . uma ebambisana nomusa kaNkulunkulu.
ISinodi Esingcwele sikhuluma ngaleli zwi elinomthwalo wemfanelo kuwe, maKristu abusisiwe, amalungu alo kanye nabo bonke abalindele izwi lalo, ngoba iBandla “likhuluma iqiniso ngothando” ( Efe. 4, 15 ) futhi “lithanda iqiniso”. ( 2 Johane 1:1 )
