I-Agnosticism: Incazelo, Izinhlobo, Amafilosofi nokunye okuningi

Kulesi sihloko uzokwazi konke mayelana i-agnosticism, isikhundla esingabaza ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu, singabaza ngendlela efanayo iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. Futhi, uzothola ukuthi umKristu kufanele enzeni lapho ebhekene nesimo esinjengalesi.

Iyini i-Agnosticism?

I-Agnosticism iyimfundiso ebekwe ukuze ikhawulele ulwazi kulokho okungaboniswa kuphela noma okungaqinisekiswa. Okusho ukuthi, yonke into kuphela eqinisekiswa ngokwamandla ekwaziwa noma kushiwo ukuthi ikhona, ngaphandle kwalokho iba yinto engaziwa noma engaziwa kakhulu.

Ngokuphathelene nolwazi ngoNkulunkulu, abakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa bayangabaza ukuba khona kwakhe. Njengoba uNkulunkulu engakwazi ukwaziwa ngengqondo kodwa ngokholo, futhi uma ukukholwa kungenangqondo, ngakho-ke, kubo uNkulunkulu akaziwa noma angeke kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukhona.

Nakuba inkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa ingenaso isimo sokungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu obuphika ngokuphelele ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, ngoba ikholwa elithi uNkulunkulu akaziwa akakholelwa kuNkulunkulu noma akanaye.

IsAmbulo 3:16 ( KJV 1960 ): Kodwa ngenxa yokuba usivivi, ungashisi ungabandi, ngizokuhlanza uphume emlonyeni wami.

Emlandweni, okwamanje i-agnosticism inomsuka wayo ezindleleni zefilosofi ze-empiricism kanye ne-rationalism ka-Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Ubani owanikeza udumo kulesi sikhundla, nokho, igama elichaza i-agnosticism, lanikezwa ngo-1869 isazi sezinto eziphilayo saseBrithani uThomas Henry Huxley.

Esikhathini eside ngaphambi kwemicabango yefilosofi kaKant, ezikhathini zasendulo, kwase kunezinkolelo zokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa ezihlakaniphi zamaGreki namaHindu. Njengesibonelo izindlela zefilosofi kaProtagoras kanye nalezo zikaSanyaia Belathaputta ekhulwini lesihlanu ngaphambi kukaKristu.

Kusukela egameni elinikezwe u-Huxley, uchungechunge lwezazi zefilosofi emhlabeni zajoyina, ukuthuthukisa itimu mayelana nesimo se-Agnosticism. Ukuthambekela okuthole umfutho ezikhathini zakamuva zentuthuko enkulu yezobuchwepheshe nesayensi.

incazelo ye-agnostic

Ukukhipha incazelo yegama elithi agnostic, kulula ukubukeza i-etymology yalo noma umsuka wegama. Sesikushilo lokho, igama elithi agnostic lakhiwa amagama amabili esiGreki.

Esokuqala yisiqalo u-a, incazelo yaso ingaphandle, kanti eyesibili yigama elithi gnōsis, elisho ulwazi. Ngakho-ke, igama elithi agnostic libhekisela entweni engenalwazi, engaziwa, engaziwa noma engaqondakali.

Ake sibone ngezansi ukusetshenziswa okuningana okunikezwe igama elithi agnostic kusuka encazelweni yangaphambilini:

• Isazi sezinto eziphilayo saseBrithani uThomas H. Huxley sasisebenzisa ukuze sivikele isikhundla sakhe sokuthi wenqaba lonke ulwazi olungokomoya noma oluyimfihlakalo.
• Ibandla lamaKristu okuqala lasebenzisa igama elithi gnosis ukuze libhekisele olwazini lukamoya. Ngokwalokhu kusetshenziswa, i-agnostic iwukungazi okungokomoya noma kwaphezulu.
• Izincwadi zesayensi zalezi zikhathi zesayensi yemizwa kanye nokusebenza kwengqondo, isebenzise igama ukuze ibhekisele kulokho okungaziwa.
• Kusayensi yekhompiyutha ungathola ukusetshenziswa kwaleli gama ukuhlonza isoftware ye-agnostic kanye nehardware ye-agnostic.

Izinhlobo ze-agnosticism

Njengoba sekubonwe kakade encazelweni ye-agnostic, kukhona ukusetshenziswa okuningana okungabalelwa kuleli gama. Ngendlela efanayo kwenzeka nge-agnosticism kusukela esikhundleni esakhiwe nguThomas Huxley, kunezici eziningana noma izigaba ezithathwe kukho:

I-agnosticism enemibandela

Uhlobo lwe-agnosticism olwaphakanyiswa isazi sefilosofi saseScotland uDavid Hume (1711 - 1776), owasungula ukuthi izitatimende ezinikezwe umuntu maqondana nezwe; bayohlala bengaphansi kwesimo sokungabaza.

Lokho kungabaza kungaba ngezinga elikhulu noma elincane ngenxa yekhwalithi engenaphutha yeziqinisekiso zomuntu. Okusho ukuthi kuHume, lezi zitatimende bezingeke zibe yiqiniso ngokuphelele, ngaphandle kwalezo ezivele zaba sobala, njengokuthi: uma othile engashadile, akashadile.

ukungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu

I-Agnostic atheism yilolo hlobo lwe-agnosticism olungaqinisekanga ngokwanele ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi "uNkulunkulu ukhona." Ngakho-ke ukufika kulokho umuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu oqinisekile angakuqinisekisa: «uNkulunkulu akekho».

Ngakho inkulumo engachaza umuntu othi uNkulunkulu akekho kungaba:

“Mayelana nokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona yini, angiqiniseki, ngoba abukho ubufakazi obanele obungaba nesiqiniseko. Futhi ayikho indlela yokwazi."

I-Agnosticism theistic 

I-Agnostic theism ayikuphiki ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi ayisho ukuthi iyamazi uNkulunkulu. Lokhu kungase futhi kube incazelo ye-theist engenandaba, ngoba nakuba ikholelwa kuNkulunkulu owadala indawo yonke, yonke into ehlobene naye ayinandaba naye.

Omunye obhekwa njenge-agnostic theist angasho lokhu okulandelayo:

«Ngiyaqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala indawo yonke, ukwazi ukuthi akungithakazelisi, ngoba ngiphila kahle, nginakho engikudingayo. Ngakho-ke, angidingi ukwazi lutho ngoNkulunkulu, ukukhuluma ngale ndaba kuyangidina».

i-agnosticism eqinile

I-agnosticism enamandla, ebizwa nangokuthi i-radical noma ivaliwe, ithi ayikwazi ukwazi ukuba khona kwanoma yimuphi unkulunkulu. Njengoba indoda ngengqondo ayikwazi ukufakazela ubukhona bayo.

Ngakho, kule nkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa, ukuba khona noma ukungabi khona kukaNkulunkulu kuyindaba engaziwa. Ngoba yisiqiniseko esingenakuqinisekiswa ngokwesayensi kodwa ngokuhlangenwe nakho okuphathekayo, okungaboshelwa kwikhwalithi engenaphutha.

Ngakho inkulumo engachaza i-agnostic enamandla ingaba:

Angiqiniseki ukuthi ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, futhi akekho umuntu ongaqiniseka ngakho.”

i-agnosticism ebuthakathaka

Inkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa ibuthakathaka ivulekele ithuba lokuthi, mhlawumbe ngolunye usuku, umuntu angafakazela ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu. Lolu hlobo lwe-agnosticism luyaziwa nangokuthi i-empirical, umuntu obhekwa njenge-agnostic theist angasho lokhu okulandelayo:

"Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhona noma akekho uNkulunkulu, angikwazi ngempela, kodwa mhlawumbe ngolunye usuku sizoba nobufakazi obanele, futhi okuthile ngakho kuyotholakala noma kufakazelwe."

Amafilosofi e-Agnosticism

I-Agnosticism yisimo esisekelwe emicabangweni yefilosofi ehlukene. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi kuyisikhundla esixhunywe kakhulu ekucabangeni komuntu kunezivumokholo zakhe, ake sibone ngezansi amanye amafilosofi asekela ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu:

Ifilosofi yamaHindu

Enkolweni yobuHindu evame ukwenziwa eNingizimu ye-Asia, umuntu angathola ukuzindla kwefilosofi okuqukethe izinga elithile lokungabaza noma ukungabaza ngonkulunkulu. Leli zinga lokungabaza lihlotshaniswa nesikhundla esiphethwe yifilosofi noma imicabango ye-agnosticism.

Ukuze sinikeze isibonelo salokhu, i-Hymn of Creation ebhalwe embhalweni weshumi wencwadi ethi Rig-veda icashunwe nezwi nezwi. Okuyincwadi endala kakhulu yamaVeda amane enkolo yamaVeda, eyandulela ubuHindu.

Ubani owazi ngokuqinisekile? Ubani oyowumemezela?

Wazalelwaphi? Indalo yavelaphi?

Onkulunkulu bangemva kokudalwa kwalomhlaba.

Ngakho ubani ongakwazi umsuka wayo?

Akekho owaziyo ukuthi indalo yavelaphi

noma ngabe Wenza noma qha.

Owubheka esezulwini phezulu;

NguYe kuphela owaziyo, noma mhlawumbe akazi.

ifilosofi yamaGreki

Izihlakaniphi ezinkulu zamaGreki zasendulo zazihlale zifuna ulwazi. Futhi lokhu kusesha kwakusekelwe emcabangweni ozungezwe ukungabaza okukhulu.

Ngakho-ke kungashiwo ukuthi umsuka wesimo sefilosofi esingakholelwa kuNkulunkulu uvela eGrisi lasendulo. Lapho ungaqamba izihlakaniphi zamaGreki ezifana nalezi:

• USocrates (470 – 399 BC): Ubani owakhuluma ne-epistemology noma isifundo solwazi ngokungabaza noma ngokungabaza.
• UPyrrho wakwa-Elis (365 – 275 BC): Lo mcabango wathi nakuba umbono ungavezwa ngokuthile, akumele kusungulwe isahlulelo esisekelwe kulowo mbono. Njengoba bekungeke kube nesiqiniseko esiphelele noma ulwazi oluphelele ukuthi bekuyiqiniso.
• UCarneades (214 – 129 BC): NjengoPiron, lo mcabango wayenokungabaza ngokufuna noma yiluphi ulwazi. Nakuba asungula ithiyori ye-probabilistic, kuyena isiqiniseko esiphelele sasingeke sitholakale.
• I-Protagoras yase-Abdera (485 BC - 411 BC): Lesi Greek sagcina ifilosofi yokuphikisa noma ukuphika izitatimende ezijwayelekile ezinikezwa onkulunkulu. Esinye sezikhundla zakhe endabeni ebhekise konkulunkulu kwakuyilezi ezilandelayo:

"Maqondana nonkulunkulu, anginayo indlela yokwazi ukuthi bakhona noma cha noma ukuthi bangaba uhlobo luni lwezidalwa. Izinto eziningi zivela olwazini, okuhlanganisa nokungacaci kahle kwesihloko nobufushane bempilo yomuntu.”

Ifilosofi kaHume, Kant kanye neKierkegaard

Lawa mafilosofi ahlanganisa i-empiricism engabazayo ka-David Hume, i-empiricism enengqondo ka-Immanuel Kant, kanye nobukhona befilosofi be-Søren Kierkegaard. Izikhundla ezintathu ezikholelwa ukuthi akwenzeki ukusungula ubufakazi obuphelele bokuba khona noma ukungabi khona kukaNkulunkulu.

• U-Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804): Lesi sazi sefilosofi sabona ukuthi ulwazi lusuka ekuhlangenwe nakho kwakho nokuthi ukucabanga komuntu kwadlala indima ebalulekile olwazini. Omunye wemibono yakhe uthi:

"Ulwazi lugxile kumuntu, hhayi kuNkulunkulu."

• UDavid Hume (1711 - 1776): Isazi sefilosofi saseScotland esasungula ukuthi iziqinisekiso ezinikezwa umuntu maqondana nomhlaba; bayohlala bengaphansi kwesimo sokungabaza noma sokungabaza.
• USøren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855): Lesi sazi sefilosofi sabiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi akaziwa nokuthi abantu bambiza ngoNkulunkulu ukuze nje bamnike igama. Amanye ama-postulates e-Kierkegaard alandelayo:

"Uma uNkulunkulu engekho, ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukufakazela lokho, kodwa uma ekhona, kuwubuhlanya ukufuna ukufakazela lokho."

"Khombisa ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu: Ngifuna ukukhombisa ukuthi okungaziwa okukhona nguNkulunkulu, ngakho ngiziveza ngendlela edabukisayo, ngoba ngalokhu angikhombisi lutho, ingasaphathwa eyokuba khona, kodwa kunalokho ngithuthukisa ukuzimisela komqondo."

I-agnosticism kaThomas Henry Huxley

Kokubili amafilosofi okuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa kanye nokungabaza kunemvelaphi yawo kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo. Nokho, igama elithi agnosticism njengesikhundla noma njengendlela yokuqinisekisa laqala ukusetshenziswa ngo-1869 nguThomas Henry Huxley.

U-Huxley uyilethe njengereferensi enkulumweni, ukuze aphikisane nemibono ye-metaphysical eziqinisekiso ezihlobene nezingokomoya noma ezingaqondakali. Egameni elithi agnosticism, lesi sazi sefilosofi sifingqa imicabango noma imibono yakhe, njengokuthi:

"Angikuqinisekisi futhi angikuphiki ukungafi komuntu, kodwa futhi angisiboni isizathu sokukholelwa kukho, ngakolunye uhlangothi, anginayo indlela yokuphikisa."

“Nginike ubufakazi obunjalo bokuthi ngingalungisiswa ngokukholwa noma yini enye, futhi ngizoyikholwa. Kungani kungafanele ngikholwe? Impela kuyamangalisa njengokulondolozwa kwamandla noma ukungabhubhi kwento.

Ungangikhulumisi ngezifaniso namathuba. Ngiyazi ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini uma ngithi ngikholelwa emthethweni wezikwele eziphambene futhi ngeke ngisekele impilo yami namathemba ami ezinkolelweni ezibuthakathaka.

"Angikaze ngizwele nakancane ngezizathu ezibalulekile eziphikisana ne-orthodoxy, futhi ngokwemvelo nginokuthambekela kokuphikisa okukhulu kunakho konke kuzo zonke izikole ezingakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu nezabantu abangakholwa. Kodwa-ke, ngiyazi ukuthi, naphezu kwami, ngiyikho kanye lokho umKristu angakubiza ngakho, futhi, ngokubona kwami, ngokufanelekile, umuntu ongakholelwa kuNkulunkulu futhi ongakholwa.

UThomas Henry Huxley uthi usungule igama elifaneleka kakhulu lendoda engakholelwa kuNkulunkulu njengaye. Isihloko asichaza njengesinokuziphatha esiqhathanisa nesamaGnostic, esasisetshenziswa ibandla lokuqala ukuze sibhekisele olwazini olungokomoya.

Isonto u-Huxley ayethi wazi okuningi mayelana nolwazi lukamoya, ayezibheka njengomuntu ongenalwazi nhlobo. Ngokwaneliseka kwakhe, igama elithi agnosticism lamukelwa ezinye izazi noma izazi zefilosofi ezamlandela.

I-Agnosticism kaRobert G. Ingersoll

U-Robert G. Ingersoll wayengusombusazwe waseMelika wekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye kanye nommeli ohlobene kakhulu phakathi kwesikhundla sokukholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Enkulumweni yakhe ebizwa ngokuthi: Kungani ngingumuntu ongakholelwa kuNkulunkulu?, umemezele lokhu okulandelayo

“Ingabe akhona amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, ingqondo engenangqondo, uNkulunkulu osesihlalweni sobukhosi, intando ephakeme kakhulu enyakazisa amagagasi nemisinga yezwe, bonke ababangela ukuhlonishwa? Angikuphiki. Angazi, kodwa angicabangi kanjalo. Ngikholelwa ukuthi imvelo iphakeme kakhulu, ukuthi ochungechungeni olungapheli akukho sixhumanisi esingalahleka noma sinqanyulwe, ukuthi awekho amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo akwazi ukuzwa imithandazo, awekho amandla ukukhulekela okungathonya noma ukuwashintsha, awekho amandla anendaba nomuntu.”

Ifilosofi kaBertrand Russell

UBertrand Russell waseBrithani wayengomunye wezazi zefilosofi ezigunyazwe kakhulu zekhulu lama-XNUMX, omunye wabanduleli befilosofi yokuhlaziya, kanye noyedwa wongqondongqondo abafaneleka kakhulu bekhulu lakhe. Empilweni yakhe, ngesikhundla sakhe sefilosofi, waxoxa ngobuthakathaka ezingxoxweni nasekucabangeni okusetshenziswa yitheism ukukhombisa ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu.

Lesi sikhundla samenza wabiza enye yezincwadi zakhe ngenkulumo ethi “kungani ngingeyena umKristu”, lapho athwebula khona inkulumo eyanikezwa nguye ngo-1927. Lo msebenzi wokubhala kaRussell uwukubonakaliswa okucacile kokungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu kwakudala kwesikhathi sakhe.

Kamuva ngo-1939 encwadini yakhe ethi “The Existence and Nature of God” wazibiza ngokuthi akakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, uRussell engummeleli wokungakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Enye yamazwi akhe mayelana nalokhu icashunwe nezwi nezwi ngezansi:

“Ubukhona nobunjalo bukaNkulunkulu yisihloko engingasihlaziya kancane nje. Uma umuntu efinyelela esiphethweni esingesihle mayelana nengxenye yokuqala yombuzo, ingxenye yesibili ayiveli; futhi isikhundla sami, njengoba ungase uqaphele, siphambene kulolu daba.

“Njengesazi sefilosofi, uma bengikhuluma nezilaleli ezihlakaniphe kakhulu, kufanele ngisho ukuthi nginesibopho sokuzichaza njengomuntu othi uNkulunkulu akaziwa, ngoba angicabangi ukuthi kukhona ukuphikisana okuqinile lapho umuntu efakazela khona ukuthi akekho uNkulunkulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma ngizodlulisela umbono oqondile kumuntu ovamile, ngicabanga ukuthi kuzodingeka ngisho ukuthi angikholelwa kuNkulunkulu, ngoba uma ngithi angikwazi ukufakazela ukuthi uNkulunkulu akekho, kufanele ngengeze ngokuthi. Angikwazi ngokulinganayo ukufakazela ukuthi akekho uNkulunkulu. Onkulunkulu baseHomeric bakhona.

Leslie Weatherhead

U-Leslie Weatherhead ongumNgisi wayengumfundi wenkolo yobuKristu wenhlangano yamaProthestani ekhululekile yekhulu lama-XNUMX. Wasebenzisa inkonzo yakhe njengomshumayeli, esikhathini sakhe wayaziwa kakhulu ngezincwadi zakhe: The Will of God, Christian agnostic and psychology, kanye nenkolo nokuphulukisa.

Naphezu kokuzichaza njengekholwa lobuKristu, iWeatherhead yayibhekwa abaholi abaningana abangamaKristu njengesihlubuki, ngoba ukushumayela kwakhe kwakungaphandle kwezwi likaNkulunkulu nevangeli likaJesu Kristu.

Njengoba uLeslie Weatherhead wayekholelwa esimeni sobuNkulunkulu sikaJesu, kodwa ukuthi lemvelo ngempela yavela ebudlelwaneni obuseduze noNkulunkulu, futhi hhayi ngoba uJesu enguNkulunkulu, ingasaphathwa eyodwa indodana yomdali, ngoba lokho kwakungeke kwenzeke. Encwadini yakhe ebhaliwe ethi The Christian Agnostic and Psychology, uWeatherhead wabhala:

“Abantu abaningi abakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa basondele ekukholweni kuNkulunkulu weqiniso kunabasonta abaningi abavamile abakholelwa enhlanganweni engekho abathi ngephutha bayibiza ngokuthi uNkulunkulu.

Ikholwa le-Weatherhead futhi elanqatshwa izazi zemfundiso yenkolo yendabuko, limelela i-agnostic theism noma yalokho okubhekwa njenge-agnosticism ebuthakathaka. Umusho walesi sazi semfundiso yenkolo omfaka phakathi kwalokhu nkomba ulandelayo:

"Yebo umphefumulo womuntu uyohlale unamandla okulahla uNkulunkulu, njengoba ukukhetha kubalulekile emvelweni wawo, kodwa angikholwa ukuthi ekugcineni akekho ozokwenza."

Ukugxeka kwe-agnosticism

Ngemva kokufunda ngabanye ongqondongqondo abasekela i-agnosticism namafilosofi abo, kubalulekile futhi ukuveza ukuthi abanye ongqondongqondo baye basungula amafilosofi angaqinisekisi isikhundla esinjalo. Lawa mafilosofi okugcina awukugxeka okucacile kwe-agnosticism futhi akuveli kuphela ku-theism kodwa futhi kusukela engxenyeni yokukholelwa kuNkulunkulu.

Abanye balaba bagxeki banombono wokuthi i-agnosticism ibeka umkhawulo kumuntu mayelana nokuthi luyini ulwazi lweqiniso, hhayi ukuqaphela ukuthi olwazini kukhona ingxenye ebonakalayo nengokomoya. Laba bacabangi abagxekayo basebenzisa icala lamandla adonsela phansi, i-entropy nengqondo njengesibonelo, ukuveza isitatimende esilandelayo:

"Ngenxa yokuthi awukwazi ukubona noma ukuthatha izinto ezithile akusho ukuphika ukuthi zikhona."

Ukubuyekeza Ama-Theists ku-agnosticism

Ohlangothini lwe-theists, ukugxeka kwe-agnosticism ukuthi lesi sikhundla asinakwenzeka, ngoba noma uphila sengathi uNkulunkulu ukhona noma uphila sengathi uNkulunkulu akekho. Ake sibheke okunye ukugxeka kwezazi zemfundiso yenkolo nge-agnosticism ngezansi:

• U-Laurence B. Brown: Ugxeka ukusetshenziswa kabi kwegama elithi isiqinisekiso ethi:

"Uthi akukho okungaziwa ngokuqinisekile, ungaqiniseka kanjani-ke?"

• UJoseph Ratzinger: Ugxeka i-agnosticism eqinile ngokuziphikisa ngokuthi ngamandla okucabanga iqiniso laziwa ngokwesayensi. Ratzinger uthi:

“I-Agnosticism ihlale iyisithelo sokulahlwa kolwazi olunikezwa isintu. […] Ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu belulokhu lukhona”.

"I-Agnosticism iwukukhetha ukunethezeka, ukuziqhenya, ukuphatha kanye nokuba wusizo phezu kweqiniso, futhi iphikisana nezimo zengqondo ezilandelayo: ukuzigxeka okubukhali kakhulu, ukulalela ngokuthobeka ukuphila okuphelele, ukubekezela okuphikelelayo nokuzilungisa kwendlela yesayensi. , ukuzimisela ukuhlanzwa ngeqiniso.

• UBlaise Pascal: Wethula ukugxeka ethi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi abukho ubufakazi obubambekayo bokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu:

"Inani elingenamkhawulo elilindelekile lokwamukela uNkulunkulu lihlala likhulu kunenani elilinganiselwe elitholwa ngokungenzi kanjalo, ngakho 'ukubheja' okuphephile ukukhetha ukukholwa."

Ukubuyekeza abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu

Esinye sezibonelo ezinhle zokugxeka abantu abangakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona yisazi sesayensi yezinto eziphilayo saseBrithani uRichard Dawkins, naye ongomunye wabangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu abavelele ezikhathini zangaleso sikhathi.

Nakuba uRichard Dawkins evikela ingxenye ye-agnosticism yesikhashana ekusebenzeni (i-ATP), engxenyeni emayelana ne-agnosticism unomphela ngokomgomo (APP), wenza lokhu kugxeka okulandelayo:

"Ukuba khona noma ukungabi khona kukaNkulunkulu kuyiqiniso lesayensi ngendawo Yonke, elitholakala ngesimiso uma kungenjalo ngokwenza."

"Ngiziveza ukuthi angikholelwa kuNkulunkulu ngendlela engikhuluma ngayo namafairies angaphansi kwengadi."

IBhayibheli kanye ne-Agnosticism

Emibhalweni engcwele yeBhayibheli kusukela ku-genesis kuya ku-apocalypse, evesini ngalinye, egameni ngalinye ngisho nakuhlamvu ngalunye kubabaza, kwembula futhi kunikeze isiqiniseko sokwazi, ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu UKHONA! Udumo kuNkulunkulu neNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu!

Ngakho-ke, izimpikiswano ezimbili eziyinhloko ezisetshenziswa i-agnostic ziyalahlwa, okuyizi:

• UNkulunkulu ukhona? Angazi.
• Ngeke ngiqiniseke ngokuphelele ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona.

IBhayibheli lithi lokhu kwenzeka ngoba omubi uye waphuphuthekisa izingqondo zabangakholwa futhi ulwazi lwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu lufihlwe ngemva kwesihenqo. Kodwa futhi inikeza izindaba ezinhle zokuthi lapho ongakholwa esephendulele inhliziyo yakhe kuJesu Kristu, leloveli eliphuphuthekisayo liyosuswa ukuze azi inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu futhi abe nesiqiniseko sokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona.

2 Korinte 4:3-4 (NLT): 3 Yebo izindaba ezinhle esikushumayelayo kufihlwe ngemva kwesihenqo, lena nje kufihlwe kubantu abalahlekile. 4 USathane, ongunkulunkulu walelizwe, waphuphuthekisa izingqondo zabangakholwayo. Abakwazi ukubona ukukhanya okukhazimulayo kwezindaba ezinhle. Abawuqondi lo mlayezo ngenkazimulo ye Kristuubani ungumfanekiso oqondile kaNkulunkulu.

2 Korinte 3:15-16:15 Ngempela, nanamuhla, lapho befunda imibhalo kaMose, izinhliziyo zabo zimbozwe ngaleloveli futhi abaqondi. 16 Kunalokho, nxa umuntu ephendukela eNkosini, iveli liyasuswa.

Ngakho-ke, ngeBhayibheli, okuyizwi likaNkulunkulu, singangena endleleni yokwazi uNkulunkulu nendodana yakhe uJesu Kristu. Kusukela manje kuqhubeke sizokwazi ukuthi ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu bumbulwa kanjani kubantu eBhayibhelini.

Ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu kwembulwa kubantu ngokukhanya kwemiBhalo

Nakuba inkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa itshalwa esikhundleni sokungabaza ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu, ngenxa yokuthi ngokusho kwabalandeli bayo ukuqinisekiswa kokuba khona komuntu onamandla onke onekhono lokusekela indawo yonke akunakuqinisekiswa, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu bazibiza ngokuthi ama-agnostic .

Ngomqondo walokho okushiwo igama elithi agnostic, ukungazi noma ukuntula ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu, lelo gama ngokwalo liphambene nokholo lobuKristu. Ngakho-ke akunakugwenywa ukuthi noma ubani ozibheka njengomKristu aqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzibonakalise esintwini njengomdali wazo zonke izinto, kuhlanganise nomuntu.

Nizwile ngemfundiso ephilayo, yithole lapha: ¿Iyini imfundiso ephilayo?: umyalezo wokholo nethemba. Imfundiso enempilo ngoba iyimfundiso esondla umphefumulo ngothando olumsulwa, olukaNkulunkulu. Thina esivuma lemfundiso sibizelwe ukuphakamisa igama likaKristu ngezenzo nangamazwi.

Azikho izaba ezithi imibhalo

Kule nkulumo akekho ongathethelelwa ngokuthi akazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Kodwa, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu eziveza ngendlela ejwayelekile esintwini njengomdali waso, futhi unikeza umuntu inkululeko yokuzikhethela ukuze azinqumele lokho angakukholelwa noma angakukholelwa, kodwa lesi sinqumo siyoba nemiphumela yaso ngokulandela imibhalo:

AmaRoma 1:18 (NBV): Kodwa UNkulunkulu ubonisa ulaka lwakhe luvela ezulwini ngokumelene nokungabi nabulungisa futhi ububi babantungokungalungi kwabo kuvimbela iqiniso ukuthi lingabonakali.

Ukuze kwaziwe kabanzi mayelana nokubonakaliswa okuvamile kukaNkulunkulu kubantu, kubalulekile ukuqhubeka nokufunda lemfundiso kaPawulu yobuphostoli kuleli vesi elilandelayo:

Roma 1:19-20 ( NLT ): 19 Balazi iqiniso ngoNkulunkulu, ngoba ukubeke kwacaca. 20 Ngoba kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba wonke umuntu ubona izulu lomhlaba. Kukho konke uNkulunkulu akwenzile, bangabona ngeso lenyama izimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu ezingabonakali: amandla akhe aphakade kanye nobuNkulunkulu bakhe. Ngakho abanazaba zokungamazi uNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke, okungenakuphikwa ngekholwa, akungabazeki nakumuntu othi uNkulunkulu akaziwa, akanazo izaba zokungazi noma azi ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Kuleli vesi lokugcina umphostoli uPawulu ufundisa ukuthi ubuphakade bukaNkulunkulu, njengoba amandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe bubonakala ngokusobala ekudalweni komhlaba, ake sibone ngokulandelayo ezinye zalezi zambulo noma ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu.

UNkulunkulu uzibonakalisa emvelweni

Yonke imvelo ibonisa futhi ikuveza ngokuqinile ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona kuwo wonke umuntu othi akaziwa. Ukuzibiza nge-agnostic noma ngaphandle kolwazi ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu kungaphezu kwesizathu, ngoba imvelo ikwenza kube sobala, imibhalo isho lokhu okulandelayo:

AmaHubo 19:1 (RSV): Amazulu ashumayela inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; umkhathi uveza umsebenzi wezandla zakhe

Amazulu akhuluma ngenkazimulo nobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu, kanye nomsebenzi wakhe: isibhakabhaka, amaplanethi, ilanga, inyanga, izinkanyezi, umhlaba nayo yonke imvelo yawo emangalisayo. Imvelo ehlakaniphile nephefumulelwe eklanywe, ngokusobala ewukhipha ngokuphelele umbono wokuthi umklamo onjalo uvela ekuqhumeni noma ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo.

Unembeza womuntu uyafakaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona

UNkulunkulu wahlela kunembeza womuntu ukuqiniseka ukuthi ukhona futhi lokhu, kuzibonakalisa kumuntu njengezwi elingaphakathi elimenza acabange futhi azi ukuthi akufanele enze izinto ezithile, noma ukuthi angenza ezinye. Lona unembeza womuntu uNkulunkulu awunikeza umuntu ukuze azi ukuhlukanisa okuhle nokubi.

Ngalo mqondo, wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi ukubulala noma ukubulala kuyisenzo sobubi. Ukuziphatha okubi nokuziphatha okubi, okuhle noma okubi, konke lokhu kufakwe ezinhliziyweni zabantu futhi bafakaza ngakho ukuthi bayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, ake sibone ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini:

KwabaseRoma 2:14-15:14 Ngokuba lapho abezizwe abangenawo umthetho, vumelana ngokwemvelo okutshiwo ngumlayo, bona, bengenawo umlayo, bangumthetho kibo ngokwabo, 15 ngoba babonakalise umsebenzi womthetho olotshiwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, unembeza wabo ufakaza, futhi imicabango yabo ngezinye izikhathi ibasola futhi ngezinye izikhathi ibavikele.

Enguqulweni yeBhayibheli elihunyushwe ngolimi lwamanje ungafunda ingxenye yalesi siqephu, okulandelayo:

Roma 2:15-16 ( NIV): Kunjengokungathi balotshwe umthetho ezingqondweni zabo. Ukuziphatha kwabo kuyakhombisa, ngoba uma becabanga ngento ethile, sebeyazi ukuthi ilungile noma ayilungile..

Wonke umuntu ngokomzwelo wemvelo wemvelo uthola ngaphakathi kwakhe icala elivezwa yisono elimele ukungahambisani ngokuphelele nomdali wakhe.

UNkulunkulu uzibonakalisa ekunqobeni kukaJesu esiphambanweni

Lesi isambulo esiphelele sikaNkulunkulu, ukuvuka kukaJesu kuwumfanekiso omuhle kakhulu wolwazi lokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Umhlatshelo kaJesu esiphambanweni saseKalvari, ukuvuka kwakhe nokwenyukela kwakhe esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaNkulunkulu, kuyisenzakalo esivunywe umlando, umlando uyakufakazela.

Ukuze uNkulunkulu aqiniswe ezwini lakhe siqu, ngokuvusa uJesu kwabafileyo, ithuna likaKristu yilo kuphela elingenalutho.

(Johane 11:25-26) UJesu wathi kuye: “Mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila; okholwa yimi, noma efa, wophila, 25 nophila ekholwa yimi kasoze afa naphakade. Uyakukholwa lokhu?

INkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ngokufanayo iyasitshela emibhalweni ukuthi imunye noNkulunkulu uBaba:

NgokukaJohane 10:30 (NIV): Mina noBaba simunye.

NgokukaJohane 10:38 Kepha uma ngizenza, noma ningakholwa yimi. kholwani emisebenzini engiyenzayo, ngenxa ukuthi bayazi kanye kuphela ukuthi uBaba ukimi futhi mina ngikuBaba.

Ezinye izinhlobo zikaNkulunkulu ezembula kubantu

Kunezindlela ezingenakubalwa zokuthi uNkulunkulu azembula kubantu ngemisebenzi yakhe, okuhlanganisa nokuba khona kwakhe kubonakala ngesayensi. Nakhu okunye kwalokhu kubonakaliswa:

En ulwazi lwezibalo

UNkulunkulu unikeza ikhono nolwazi lwesayensi kumuntu; ukusuka lapho amadoda esayensi afika ukuze agqoke imiklamo emikhulu kanye nezinto ezisunguliwe, enze izibalo ezingokwenyama nezezibalo. Ososayensi bezwe abanikeza ithuba lokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, bathi izibalo ziyinkulumo uNkulunkulu aklama ngayo imithetho yendawo yonke.

( Roma 11:33-36 ):

33 Ijule kangakanani inotho ye ukuhlakanipha nolwazi lukaNkulunkulu!

Yeka ukuthi zingenakuqondeka kanjani izahlulelo zakho, nezindlela zakho ezingaphenyeki!

34 Ngubani owazi ingqondo yeNkosi, kumbe ngubani oke waba ngumeluleki wayo? -

35 Ngubani owapha uNkulunkulu kuqala, ukuze kamuva uNkulunkulu amkhokhele? -

36 ngoba zonke izinto zivela kuye, futhi zikhona ngaye futhi zingenxa yakhe.

Inkazimulo mayibe kuye kuze kube phakade! Amen.

Ekubhalweni kofuzo lomuntu

Ucwaningo lwesayensi olwenziwa ngofuzo lomuntu lwembula ukuthi umuntu ngamunye unezakhi zofuzo ezihlukile, okungukuthi, akekho onekhodi efanayo neyomunye umuntu. Ukubhala ngekhodi kutholakala esakhiweni samangqamuzana omuntu, esakhiwe izigidi zamaseli. Yingcebo ejulile yokuhlakanipha nolwazi lukaNkulunkulu kuphela ebingadala noma iklame umuntu ofana nalona, ​​akekho omunye.

Ekuhlangenwe nakho komuntu siqu noNkulunkulu

Lokhu ukubonakaliswa okunikezwa kuwo wonke amakholwa ahlakulele ukuphila okuseduze noNkulunkulu. Kungalesi sambulo lapho uMkristu eqinisekisa ngakho konke ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, njengoba ukwazile ukuzwa uKristu enhliziyweni yakhe.

(Johane 14:6) UJesu waphendula wathi: “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila. Ngaphandle kwami, akekho ongafinyelela kuNkulunkulu uBaba.

Yini kufanele umKristu enze ngaphambi kokukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa

Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, uNkulunkulu wazisa kuwo wonke umuntu ukuthi ukhona, ukuze kungabikho muntu ongazikhulula ekuqinisekeni kwaleli qiniso. Nakuba abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu besasele ebuwula babo ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuba nolwazi ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu.

Kodwa naphezu kwalokhu, iqiniso eliye latholakala ezikhathini zamuva nje ukukhuphuka komhlaba hhayi nje kwenkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa kuphela, kodwa nokungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu nje jikelele. Lokhu kuyiqiniso elithusayo neliyingozi kubantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuba umKristu azindle ngaleliqiniso. Ake sibone amaphuzu athile abalulekile ngokubhekisela kulokhu:

• isidingo sokushumayela ivangeli

Kungase kuvezwe kubantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukuthi maningi amaKrestu ezikoleni zamabandla futhi mancane emgwaqeni aphethe ivangeli lensindiso ngoKristu. Ukukhula noma ukujula olwazini lwezwi likaNkulunkulu kuyadingeka, kodwa ngendlela efanayo kuyadingeka ukuya kubantu ukuletha lokho esikutholile ngomusa. UmKrestu unomsebenzi awunikwe nguJesu Kristu wokuba imoto noma indlela uNkulunkulu aziveza ngayo esixukwini sabantu abalindele ukwamukela kuye.

• Amakholwa aphila impilo engenaNkulunkulu

Kubantu bakaNkulunkulu kunabantu abaningi abakude neNkosi, okungukuthi, amaKristu amaningi angaphili ngentshiseko yeqiniso ngoKristu. Lesi ngesinye sezimbangela zokwanda kwenkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa emhlabeni namuhla.

Enye indlela yokuxazulula ukuntula intshiseko ngoKristu imvuselelo evela ekhaya, evela emndenini. Abazali banendima ebalulekile kulesi sici, bamisa izikhathi zokuhlanganyela izwi likaNkulunkulu nezingane zabo.

UmKristu kufanele afune uNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, ukuze uMoya oNgcwele uvuse enhliziyweni yakhe isidingo noma intshiseko yokufuna nokukhonza iNkosi. NjengamaKristu kufanele sibuze iNkosi:

"Mnumzane! Yini ofuna ukungifundisa yona namuhla, yini engingayenza namuhla kulabo abangakakwazi?"

Bakhulekele labo abangamazi uNkulunkulu

Umthandazo wekholwa ubaluleke njengokujulisa ulwazi lwezwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngomthandazo ungakhala kuBaba egameni likaJesu ngabakhethiweyo bakhe abangakafiki ezinyaweni zikaKristu nasolwazini lukaNkulunkulu.

Ngakho, uma njengamaKristu sihlangana nabantu abangamazi ngoNkulunkulu noma abangakholelwa kuye, kubalulekile ukubathandazela. UNkulunkulu ngomusa wakhe waphakade uyokwenza umsebenzi wokuletha labo bantu kuKristu.

Umuntu uyisidalwa esinesono ngenxa yokungapheleli kwakhe, nokho, ngokuphenduka okuqotho noma okuhlanzekile kwenhliziyo, angafinyelela ekuhlanganeni nolwazi ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Ungalungisa indlela yakho endleleni yokuhle, uma ufuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngalesi sihloko, sikumema ukuthi ufunde lesi sihloko: Ukuphenduka: Ingabe kuyadingeka ukuze uthole insindiso?

okudingekayo ukulalela

Lapho ushumayela, kuyadingeka ukulalela abantu, lokho abakushoyo, ngale ndlela kuphela lapho ungabazi kangcono futhi ngenxa yalokho ukwazi ukubaqonda. Nakuba sifuna ukukubonisa isibusiso sokwazi uNkulunkulu, kuhle ukulalela ngaphambi kokuba ukhulume.

Ngenkathi ulalele lowo oshunyayelwa ivangeli, nika isikhathi sokuba uMoya oNgcwele abonise ukuthi iyiphi indlela engcono kakhulu yokusondela kuye. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngale ndlela sizibeka endaweni yomuntu futhi sinesithakazelo ekuhluphekeni noma ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, ukuze kamuva simnxuse ngomthandazo.

bonakalisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu

Kudingeka ngomKristu ukuba abonise uthando lukaNkulunkulu kulabo abangamazi. Lapho ushumayela ivangeli kumuntu ongamazi uNkulunkulu, awukwazi ukumhlasela ngegama, kunalokho, ubonise uthando oluqukethwe.

Nokho, ukubonisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu emiBhalweni nakho kuyobangela ukungakhululeki okuthile kulowo owamukela imfundiso, futhi lokhu kuvamile. Masikhumbule ukuthi izwi likaNkulunkulu lithini:

KumaHeberu 4:12 (NIV): 12 Wonke amazwi uNkulunkulu awakhulumayo anamandla futhi anokuphila. Izwi likaNkulunkulu libukhali kunenkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, lingena ekujuleni komphefumulo wethu. Lapho, uhlola imicabango nezifiso zethu, futhi akwenze kucace ukuthi mihle noma yimbi.

Yethula uKristu

Isambulo sikaNkulunkulu esijwayelekile sibalulekile ukwazisa labo abathi abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukwethula uKristu, lokhu kuyisambulo esihle kakhulu sikaNkulunkulu kubantu, ngoba uzibonakalisa kuye ngendlela ekhethekile enikeza insindiso ezonweni.

Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuletha abantu esiphambanweni sikaJesu Kristu nokuvuka kwakhe. Esiphambanweni kunezambulo ezinkulu nezinamandla, ukuze kuthi lapho umuntu ethulwa kuKristu, kwenzeka izinto ezimangalisayo nezimangalisayo.

NjengamaKristu kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi sishukumiseleke ukuba sibe nesihe kulabo abaqhubeka bengenalwazi ngoNkulunkulu. Masikhumbule ukuthi esikhathini esidlule nathi sasingenalwazi futhi sihlukanisiwe noKristu:

(Kwabase-Efesu 2:12) Ngalesosikhathi lalingahlukene loKhristu. Babengavunyelwe ukuba izakhamuzi zakwa-Israyeli, futhi babengazazi izithembiso zesivumelwano uNkulunkulu ayesenze nabo. Naphila kulomhlaba ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu futhi ningenathemba.

Bazalwane, sekuyisikhathi sokuthi abantu bayeke ukuphila ngolunye usuku bengazi ngoNkulunkulu nangoJesu Kristu indodana yakhe. Masikhale kuNkulunkulu sicela:

Mnumzane! Ngifuna ukukubonisa ngaso sonke isikhathi

Ngifisa ukuba njengalokhu ofisa ngibe yikho, ekhaya, emndenini, emsebenzini, ngamafuphi, noma yikuphi lapho ngikhona.

Ukuze kuthi lapho abantu abangamazi uNkulunkulu noma wena, Nkosi Jesu Kristu, bengibona, bakubone futhi bathi:

"Ngifuna ukuba nalokho engikubona kuye"

Baba oseZulwini ngicela lokhu egameni elinamandla likaJesu Amen!

I-Agnosticism futhi abantu abahlushwa ubumpumputhe bomoya, ingabe uyakwazi? Zithole lapha: ubumpumputhe obungokomoya: Kuyini?Yelashwa kanjani? futhi nokuningi. Ububi obusivimbela ekuboneni uJesu Kristu njengomsindisi wesintu, funda ngakho kulesi sihloko kanye nendlela yokuphuma ebumnyameni, ukuze sibuyele endleleni yokukhanya enkampanini kaNkulunkulu.
