Ithini iBhayibhile ngeenkonzo zonqulo?
AmaKatolika akholelwa ukuba uMthendeleko, efanekiselwa iSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela, yindlela efanelekileyo yokunqula.
ISidlo Sokugqibela yayisisidlo sePasika apho uYesu wathabatha isonka, wasikelelwa waqhekeza, kwaye wayinika abapostile abalishumi elinambini, esithi, “Ngumzimba wam lo, oya kunikwa wena; oku kwenzeleni ukundikhumbula;” nendebe yewayini, esithi, Le ndebe ingumnqophiso omtsha osegazini lam, iya kuphalazwa kuwe" (bona ULuka, 22:19-20).1
Kuba ekuphela kwedini elifanele ukunikelwa kuThixo kuMnqophiso Omtsha nguYesu ngokwakhe, singawathatha amazwi aKhe kwiSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela ngokwexabiso, Ukuvuma ukuba isonka newayini awayinikelayo ngokwenene nguMzimba neGazi lakhe, uMnqophiso wothando lwakhe. (Leyo yingcinga ye-transubstantiation.)
UMthendeleko oNgcwele lidini likaYesu eKalvari, apho wabethelelwa khona emnqamlezweni. Kanjalo, oku akuthethi ukuba uYesu uyafa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwiMisa nganye. Njengoko oNgcwele uPawulos wabhalayo kweyakhe Ileta eya kumaHebhere 10:10: “Wafa kwaba kanye ngenxa yesono sehlabathi kwaye akukho mnikelo wumbi uya kufunwa.”
UYesu’ idini ayisosiganeko esipheleliselwe kwixesha elidlulileyo elikude. Ine- umlinganiselo ongunaphakade kuyo ithatha indawo kunye nexesha, kungoko iBhayibhile isithi uYesu yiMvana eyaxhelwa “ngaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi.” (Bona i Incwadi yeSityhilelos, 13:8.)
Ngoko, kumsitho woMthendeleko, uThixo, ongaphandle kwendawo kunye nexesha, wenza idini likaYesu lisondezwe kwindibano yabantu bakhe, ukunika kwakhona ngayo kuthi ngendlela engenagazi.
UThixo wenza oku ukuze anike iBandla kwisigaba ngasinye indlela yokuba yinxalenye yedini elisindisayo loNyana Wakhe–ngokulisondeza kuye ngendumiso nemibulelo. Kungenxa yoko le nto u-Saint Paul wabhala kweyakhe Ileta yokuqala eya kwabaseKorinte 10:16, “Indebe yentsikelelo esiyisikelelayo, asikuko na ukuba nenxaxheba egazini likaKristu? Isonka esisiqhekezayo, Asikuko na ukuba nenxaxheba kumzimba kaKrestu?” Olu luvuyo olungathethekiyo kunye nemfihlelo yoMthendeleko, apho sifumana inzaliseko yothando lukaYesu.
Ukugqala kweCawe uMthendeleko njengeDini eliPhilayo kungokwebhayibhile ngokupheleleyo, kuzaliseka njengoko senzayo isiprofeto sikaMalaki sedini lexesha elizayo elaliya kunikelwa ngokuqhubekayo ziiNtlanga., “Kuba ukususela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuse ekutshoneni kwalo, likhulu igama lam phakathi kweentlanga; bazisa amadini kuyo yonke indawo egameni lam, nomnikelo ohlambulukileyo; ngokuba likhulu igama lam phakathi kweentlanga, utsho uYehova wemikhosi” (uMalaki, 1:11).
Inkcazelo yeCawa ye uMalaki ixhaswa yimibhalo yokuqala yembali yobuKristu. Umzekelo, I-Didache, eyincwadana yeCawa eqala unyaka wonke 70 A.D., ichaza uMthendeleko ‘njengeminikelo’ awathetha ngayo umprofeti uMalaki. Ngokufanayo, malunga nonyaka 150 A.D., INgcwele uJustin uMfeli-nkolo ubiza uMalaki ngokuba “ngamadini,” “Amadini anikelwa kuye kuzo zonke iindawo ngathi, abeeNtlanga, oko kukuthi ... iSonka soMthendeleko kwaye ngokunjalo ... nendebe ye-Eucharist " (Ingxoxo kunye noTrypho 41).
ISidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela yinzaliseko yeTestamente eNtsha yePasika, Esi sisidlo esingokwesithethe esasityiwa ngamaSirayeli ngobusuku bangaphambi kokukhululwa kwawo ebukhobokeni eYiputa. Ebudeni bePasika kwakuyimfuneko ukuba abo babeza kusindiswa baqabe igazi lemvana yedini emigubasini nakumphezulu wendlu yabo. (efanekisela igazi likaYesu emthini woMnqamlezo) nenyama yexhwane (bona iEksodus, 12:8). Ngokutya inyama yexhwane, amaSirayeli ngandlel’ ithile aba banye nemvana, bazithabathele bona ukungabi nabala. KwiSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela, okwenzeka ngobusuku bangaphambi kokukhululwa komntu esonweni, UYesu, iMvana kaThixo engenasono, wanikela eyakhe Inyama neGazi ukuba idliwe ngabathembekileyo ngokwesakramente phantsi kohlobo lweSonka neWayini. Ngalo Mthendeleko uNgcwele, siba banye nedini lakhe elinika ubomi, sithathela kuthi ukungabi nasono.
AmaKhatholika akholelwa ukuba nawaphi na amava onqulo ngaphandle kwe-Ekaristi ayasilela koko uThixo ngokwakhe asilungiselele kona. INkosi ifuna ukuba nobudlelwane obusondeleyo nathi; ukumanyana nathi umzimba nomphefumlo. UMthendeleko oNgcwele ubonelela ngendlela yokwenyani yokuba uYesu Krestu azinikele ngokupheleleyo kuthi kwaye nathi sizinikele ngokupheleleyo kuYe.: epheleleyo, ukupha omnye komnye; ukudibana kokwenyani kobuqu noThixo kubomi bethu bonke.
Oku kumangalisayo, amava salvific yintliziyo yonke iMisa yamaKatolika.
- Ngolungcwaliselo lwesonka newayini, UYesu wazizalisekisa izenzo zikaMelkitsedeke, nombingeleli kumnqophiso omdala owenze idini ngesonka newayini kuThixo (bona IGenesis, 14:18). Ngoko, kwileta yakhe eya kumaHebhere, ISt. UPawulos ubiza uYesu ngokuthi “ngumbingeleli ngonaphakade ngokohlobo lukaMelkitsedeke” (5:6). ↩
