CHITSAUKO 36—HONDO IRI KUUYA

Kubva pakutanga kwehondo huru kudenga, chagara chiri chinangwa chaSatani chekubvisa murairo waMwari. Ndicho chinangwa chaaive nacho paakaita chimurenga kudenga achirwisana naMwari Musiki, kunyange zvake akadzingwa kudenga, ari kungoenderera mberi nehondo yake panyika pano. Chinangwa chake chikuru chiri chekunyengera vanhu, kuti avatungamirire kuputsa mutemo waMwari. Kuti zvinoitika sei, kuuputsa wose kana kuramba mumwe chete wawo, magumo acho mamwechete. Uyo “anogumburwa kune chimwe chawo,” anoratidza kuti anozvidza mutemo wose; saka muenzaniso wake nemabasa aanoratidza zviri kurutivi rumwe chete rwekutadza; saka “anova nemhosva kune zvose” Jakobo 2:10. KK 350.1

Mukutsvaka kwake kuti mutemo waMwari uzvidzwe, Satani akamonyorora dzidziso dzeBhaibheri,ndicho chikonzero nei nhema dzichiwanikwa pakati pevazhinji vanoti vanotenda muMagwaro. Hondo huru yekupedzisira pakati penhema nechokwadi kupedziswa kwehondo yagara iripo panyaya yemutemo waMwari. Tava kutopinda muhondo iyi- hondo pakati pemitemo yevanhu nemitemo yaJehova, pakati pechinamato chinobva muBhaibheri nechinamato chengano yetsika dzemagariro evanhu.KK 350.2

Masimba achabatana mukurwisana nechokwadi nekururama, muhondo iyi ari kutoita basa rayo. Shoko raMwari dzvene, iro ratakagashidzwa nemutengo wekutambudzika kwakadaro neropa, harisi kukosheswa. Munhu wose anokwanisa kuzviwanira Bhaibheri, asi vashoma vanorigashira kuti rivatungamirire muhupenyu. Kusatenda kwapararira zvinotyisa, zvisiri munyika chete, asi nemukerekevo. Vazhinji vave kuramba dzidziso dziriidzo mbiru dzechinamato cheChikristu. Chokwadi chikuru chekusikwa kwenyika sekupiwa kwachakaita nevanyori vakafemerwa, kutadza kwevanhu, nekudzikinurwa kwavo, kusapera kwemutemo waMwari, zvose izvi zvave kurambwa pachena, zviri zvose zvakadaro kana kuti chikamu chazvo nevazhinji vanozviti maKristu. Vazhinji vanozvikudza pamusoro pehuchenjeri nerusununguko rwavo vave kuona sekuti kuterera Bhaibheri kupusa nehutera, vanofunga kuti hunyanzvi hukuru kana vachitsoropodza Magwaro nekuratidza kuti vakadzidza zvikuru nekurasira kure chokwadi chawo chinokosha, kuburikidza netsananguro dzavo. Vafundisi nevadzidzisi vakuru veBhaibheri vazhinji vanodzidzisa vanhu vavo kuti mutemo waMwari wakashandurwa kana kuti wakabviswa; saka vose vanoti uchiri kuchengetwa vanosekwa nekuvonekwa sevanhu vasina maturo. KK 350.3

Kana vanhu vachiramba chokwadi vanenge vachitorambawo naIye wakachinyora. Pakutsikira pasi mutemo waMwari, vanozvidza simba reMupi weMutemo wacho. Zviri nyore kuumba chifananidzo chedzidziso dzenhema nepfungwa dzakamonyoroka zvinongoita sekuveza chifananidzo nematanda kana nemabwe. Nekuminamisa zvakaita Mwari, Satani anotungamirira vanhu kuti vavone Mwari nenzira isiri iyo. Vazhinji vakazvivezera chifananidzo mupfungwa chikagadzwa pachigaro mumwoyo yavo pachinzvimbo chaMwari; ukuvo Mwari mupenyu uyo anoratidzwa kuburikidza neshoko rake naKristu, nezvakasikwa, achinamatwa nevanhu vashoma. Vazhinji vanonamata zvisikwa vachiramba Mwari akasika zvinhu zvacho. Kunyange kuchitora zvimiro zvakasiyana siyana , kunamata zvifananidzo kuchiri kuitwa nanhasi pakati pemaKristu sezvazvaitwa munguva yevaIsraeri yekare pamazuva aEria. Mwari wevanhu vanozviti vakachenjera, nevakadzidza, vezvematongerwe enyika, nevatapi venhau,-mwari wevanozviitira nekubudirira kwavo, vakatsvinda, namwari wezvikoro zvepamusoro zvizhinji, kunyange nezvinodzidzisa vafundisi,-akangosiyana paduku duku naBaari, mwari wezuva ainamatwa kuFonishia.KK 350.4

Hakuna nhema dzinotambirwa neMakristu dzinokunda kurwisa masimba edenga kana dzinobva dzapesana nekushandiswa kwenjere, hakunazve dzinematuso anokunda kuparadza senhema dzakadai kupararira mazuva ano dzekuti Mutemo waMwari wakapera hauchina basa. Nyika imwe neimwe ine mitemo yayo, inofanira kuchengetwa nekukudzwa, hakuna hurumende yaingararama isina mitemo yayo; saka zvinganzi here Musiki wedenga nepasi haanavo mitemo inotonga pazvisikwa zvake?

Kana chimiso chekururama chikasendekwa parutivi, muchinda werima, anowana mukana wekudzika masimba ake panyika.KK 351.2

Pose panobviswa mutemo waMwari chitema hachizovonekwa nekuipa kwacho kose, uye kururama kunoshaya simba.

Vanodzidzisa vanhu kuti vasachengeta mutemo waMwari vanodyara kusateerera uye vachakohwa kusaterera ikoko. Regai kurambidza kunoitwa nemurairo waMwari kumboiswa parutivi, muchaona kuti nemitemo yevanhu ichiraswawo. Nemhaka yekuti Mwari anorambidza kusatendeka, kuchiva, kunyepa nekubira nekubiridzira vamwe, vanhu vanofarira kupwanya mutemo wake vachiona sechipingidzo chino- vakanganisa kubudirira mupfuma yavo yenyika, asi matuso ekubvisa mirairo yaMwari achave akakura kupfuura zvavanga vachifungidzira. Kana mutemo usina basa, komunhu angatyei kukanganisa? Pfuma inenge isisina kuchengeteka. Vanhu vangatora pfuma dzevavakidzani vavo nechisimba; uye vane simba kupfuvura vose ndivo vangapfuma kudarika vose. Hupenyu pachahwo haungaremekedzwi.

Kusarurama nerima rekusaziva Mwari zvakambovepo mazuva ekutonga kweRoma aive matuso ekurambidza kwayo Magwaro; Asi chichawanikwa kupiko chikonzero chekusatendeka munzvimbo zhinji, kuramba murairo waMwari, nehuori huriko, pasi pechiyedza chevhangeri munguuva yekunamata kwakasununguka? Zvino nekuti Satani haachagoni kuramba akaisa nyika pasi pehutongi hwake nekurambidza kuverengwa kweMagwaro, anoshandisa dzimwe nzira kuti abudirire pachinangwa chake chimwe chete ichocho. Kuparadza kutenda muBhaibheri kunomubatsira zvakangofanana nekuparadza iro Bhaibheri pacharo. Nekuunza dzidziso yekuti mutemo waMwari hauchina basa, ari kutotungamira vanhu kuti vatadze zvakangofanana nekuita sevasingatombozivi nemurairo uyu.

Vatungamiriri vemisangano inokurudzira kuchengetwa kweSvondo vanogona kukurudzira shanduko dzinodiwa nevanhu, zvimiso zvinowirirana neBhaibheri; asi mukati mazvo muine zvinopikisana nemurairo waMwari, vanhu vaMwari havagoni kubatana navo.

Mumanyepo maviri makuru aya, kusafa kwemweya wemunhu nekuyereswa kweSvondo, Satani achaisa vanhu pasi pesimba remanyepo ake. Kusafa kwemweya kuchiisa nheyo yezvemweya nemidzimu nemashai, kuera kweSvondo kunounza kubatana nekunzwirana neRoma makereke echiProtestant.

Vana Papa vanorumbidza zvishamiso sechimwe chezviratidzo chekereke yechokwadi, vachanyengedzwa nesimba iri rinoita zvishamiso; MaProtestantvo, nekuti vakarasa nhovo yechokwadi, vachatorwawo mumanyepo aya. Vana Papa, MaProtetsant, nevenyika vose vachagashira mufananidzo wekunamata uyu, asi vasina simba racho, vachaona mubatanidzwa uyu seboka guru richaunza kutendevuka kwenyika yose kuti nguva yemakore 1000 ichatanga yanga yakamirirwa kwenguva yakareba. Kuburikidza nezvemweya, nemashai nemidzimu, Satani anowonekwa semubatsiri mukuru wemarudzi, achiporesa zvirwere zvevanhu, achiita sekuti anouya nenzira itsva yakasimukira yekunamata nekutenda; asi panguva imwecheteyo achishanda semuparadzi. Miyedzo yake iri kutungamirira vazhinji mukuparara. Kusazvidzora kunobvisa kufunga; kufarira zvakaipa, kunetsana, nekudeura ropa zvochitevera.

Chinangwa chake chekukurudzira ndudzi kuti dzirwisane; kuti agone kubvisa pfungwa dzevanhu kubva mubasa rekugadzirira kumira pazuva guru raMwari.KK 354.3

Akadzidza zvakavanzika zvezvisikwa, uye anoshandisa simba rake rose pamusoro pazvo kusvika paanenge abvumirwa naMwari.

NdiMwari anodzivirira Zvisikwa zvake nekuzviisira ruzhowa kubva kusimba remuparadzi uyu.

Achavapa vamwe kubudirira, kuti zvidiso zvake zvienderere mberi; uye achaunza matambudziko pamusoro pevamwe, otungamirira vanhu kuti vadaire kuti ndiMwari anovarwadzisa. KK 354.4

Hasha dzevanhu padzichamutsa nekupomera kwenhema, vacharongera vanhu vaMwari sezvakamborongwa nevaIsraeri vakanga varasika vachirongera Eria zvakashata.KK 355.2
