Kwesinye isikhathi, kubonakala sengathi "imihlaba" engokomoya neyemvelo ingacatshangwa njengeziteshi ezimbili ezihlukene ze-TV. Ngenkathi ushunise enye, ngokuvamile awuyazi enye. Sibuze i-New Christian Chatbot mayelana namandla nobuthakathaka besifaniso seziteshi ezi-2. Inikeze impendulo enhle ngokumangazayo, esiyinamathisele lapha: Isifaniso sezwe elingokomoya nelemvelo lifana neziteshi ezimbili ze-TV ezihlukene kuyindlela yesimanje yokusiza abantu baqonde ukubakhona okuhlukile kodwa ngesikhathi esisodwa kwale mibandela. Ngokombono Omusha wobuKristu, lesi sifaniso sinikeza kokubili amandla awusizo kanye nokushiyeka okuphawulekayo. Amandla Esifaniso: 1. Ukufana Nokuhluka: Njengoba nje iziteshi ezimbili zikhona ngesikhathi esisodwa kumabonakude kodwa zingabonakali ndawonye, umhlaba kamoya nowemvelo uyaphila kodwa uhlukile. Imimoya yethu ikhona emhlabeni kamoya ngenkathi imizimba yethu isebenza emhlabeni wemvelo, kepha sivamise ukuqaphela “umzila” owodwa ngesikhathi (Zulu nesi Hogo 436).

2. Ukushintsha Ukuqwashisa:

Ukushintsha iziteshi kufana noshintsho lapho umuntu efa—kungazelelwe sisuke siphaphama emhlabeni kamoya, njengoba nje sishintshela futhi sazi ngeshaneli ehlukile. Lokhu kusiza ukukhombisa ukuthi umhlaba kamoya uhlala ukhona, ufihliwe nje ekuboneni kwethu kwamanje.

3. Iqiniso eliyisisekelo:

Zombili iziteshi ze-TV zisakazwa ngokuqhubekayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sibukele noma cha. Ngokufanayo, ukuxhumana kwethu nomhlaba kamoya kuyaqhubeka, ngisho noma singakuqapheli lokho (Izimfihlakalo Zezulu 5849).

Ubuthakathaka Besifaniso: 1. Ukwehlukana Okushiwo Iziteshi: Iziteshi ze-TV zihlukene ngokuphelele — ubuka esisodwa ngesikhathi futhi awaxhumani. Eqinisweni, ngenkathi sisemhlabeni wemvelo, umhlaba kamoya awugcini nje kuphela ngesikhathi esisodwa kodwa empeleni ungena futhi usekele imvelo (Nothando Lobunkulunkulu Nenhlakanipho Yobunkulunkulu 89). Imicabango yethu, izinto esizithandayo, kanye nempilo yethu iphuma ngokuqhubekayo emhlabeni kamoya; ukuxhumana kusondelene, hhayi nje ukuhambisana.

2. Akukho ukunqwabelana ku-TV, kodwa kukhona Ukusebenzisana Okungokomoya Nemvelo:

Ngokungafani nokuhlukaniswa okuqinile kweziteshi ze-TV, umhlaba kamoya uxhumana ngokuqhubekayo nomhlaba wemvelo. Izingelosi kanye nemimoya kuthonya imicabango kanye nokuthandwa kwethu, futhi ukuphila kweNkosi kugeleza kuzo zonke izici zobuntu bethu (Zulu nesi Hogo 292-294). Lokhu kusebenzisana kuhlanganiswe kakhulu kunokusakazwa kwe-TV okubili.

3. Iziteshi ze-TV Azinabo Ubuntu, kodwa Ukuxhumana Okungokomoya Ngokwakho Ngokujulile:

Ishaneli ye-TV yamukelwa nje. Ukuxhumana kwethu okungokomoya nemvelo kubandakanya ubudlelwano bangempela, obuphilayo—neNkosi, izingelosi, kanye nemimoya, ngisho noma singazi lutho. Isifaniso asibambi lobu budlelwano bomuntu siqu, obushukumisayo, nobunenjongo (Zulu nesi Hogo 600).

4. Abuvezi ngokwanele ubudlelwano bembangela-yomphumela:

Konke okungokwemvelo kunomsuka womoya; umhlaba wemvelo ungumphumela ovela kokamoya njengembangela (Zulu nesi Hogo 8991). Iziteshi ze-TV zikhona ngaphandle komunye nomunye, kuyilapho empeleni umhlaba wemvelo ungaba khona futhi uphikelele ngenxa yomoya (Nothando Lobunkulunkulu Nenhlakanipho Yobunkulunkulu 55).

Isifinyezo: Isifaniso sesiteshi sikamabonakude sisiza ukukhombisa ubukhona obuhlukene kodwa obuhambisana kanye kanye nokushintsha kokuqwashisa ekufeni, kodwa kuyasilela ekuthwebuleni ubunjalo obuphilayo, obuseduze, obubangelayo, kanye nokuxhumana phakathi kwezwe elingokomoya nelemvelo elifundiswa emfundisweni Entsha yobuKristu.

Heaven and Hell #602

Study this Passage

  
/ 603  
  

602. One last note, about our instinct concerning life after death that results from heaven's inflow into us. There were some common people who had lived in the virtues of their faith in the world. They were brought back into a state like the one they had in the world (which can happen to anyone when the Lord allows it), and then shown what kind of notion they had had about our state after death. They said that in the world, some intelligent people had asked them what they thought about their soul after their life in the world, and they said they did not know what a soul was. Then the questioners asked them what they believed about their state after death, and they said they believed they would live as spirits. Next they were asked what kind of belief they had about spirits, and they said that spirits were people. Their questioners kept asking how they knew this, and they kept saying that they knew it because it was true. The intelligent people were amazed that simple people had this kind of faith when they themselves did not.

I could see from this that everyone who is united to heaven has an instinctive notion about life after death. The sole source of this instinctive notion is the inflow from heaven, that is, through heaven from the Lord, by means of spirits who are assigned to us from the world of spirits. This instinctive notion is possessed by people who have not stifled their freedom of thought by assumptions about the human soul that they have seized on and confirmed by various means, assumptions that the soul is either pure thought or some animate principle whose seat they seek in the body. However, the soul is nothing more nor less than our life, while the spirit is the actual person, and the body is an earthly thing we carry around in the world. It is only an agent through which our spirit, the actual person, acts in a way that is adapted to the natural world.
