በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ ዓለማዊነት

በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ ዓለማዊነት

በቅርቡ፣ በቤተክርስቲያን የመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ጥናት መመሪያ ውስጥ የሚከተለውን አንብቤያለሁ፡

ለአርባ ዓመታት አለማመን፣ ማጉረምረምና ዓመፅ የጥንቷን እስራኤል ከከነዓን ምድር አግዷታል። ተመሳሳይ ኃጢአቶች የዘመናዊቷ እስራኤል ወደ ሰማያዊቷ ከነዓን መግባትን አዘግይተውታል። በሁለቱም ሁኔታዎች የእግዚአብሔር ተስፋዎች ጥፋተኛ አልነበሩም። በዚህ የኃጢአትና የሐዘን ዓለም ውስጥ ለብዙ ዓመታት ያስቀመጠን በጌታ ነን በሚሉ ሰዎች መካከል ያለው አለማመን፣ ዓለማዊነት፣ አለመቀደስና አለመግባባት ነው። የክርስቶስ ቤተክርስቲያን የሾመችውን ሥራዋን ጌታ እንዳዘዘው ብታደርግ ኖሮ፣ ከዚህ በፊት መላው ዓለም ማስጠንቀቂያ ይሰጥ ነበር፣ ጌታ ኢየሱስም በኃይልና በታላቅ ክብር ወደ ምድራችን ይመጣ ነበር (ኤለን ጂ. ዋይት ፣ የመጨረሻ ቀን ክስተቶች፣ ገጽ 38) ።

እስራኤል ወደ ተስፋይቱ ምድር መግባቷን እና ቅዱሳን ወደ ሰማይ መግባታቸውን ማወዳደር ጠንካራ የመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ተጨባጭ ትምህርት ሲሆን በታሪክ ውስጥ ብዙ የክርስቲያን መሪዎች ከዚህ ምሳሌ ጠቃሚ ትምህርቶችን አግኝተዋል። ስለዚህ ከላይ ያለው አንቀጽ በጥንቃቄ ማሰላሰል እና ማጤን የሚገባው ሆኖ አግኝቼዋለሁ – ዛሬ ለእኛ የሚተገበሩ ትምህርቶች ምንድናቸው?

የዚህ አንቀጽ ዋና ክስ “በጌታ በሚጠሩ ሰዎች መካከል ያለው አለማመን፣ ዓለማዊነት፣ ቅድስና አለመስጠት እና አለመግባባት” ክርስትናን በበሽታ በመበከሉ ቤተክርስቲያን ወንጌልን ወደ ዓለም የማድረስ ተልእኮዋን እንዳትወጣ አግዷታል የሚለው ነው።

አስቤ ነበር፡ ይህ በተግባራዊ አነጋገር ምን ማለት ነው? ይህ አለማመን፣ ዓለማዊነት፣ አለቅነት እና ግጭት ዛሬ ምን ይመስላል?

ይህ የተወሰኑ አስተምህሮዎችን በትክክል አለመረዳትን የሚያመለክት ነው? በሌላ አነጋገር፣ እንደ ሰንበት፣ ሥላሴ እና የሙታን ሁኔታ ያሉ መሠረታዊ እምነቶችን በተመለከተ የተሳሳቱ አመለካከቶችን ማመን?

አይ፣ እዚህ ላይ አለማመን የሚያመለክተው ትክክለኛውን አስተምህሮ አለማመንን አይደለም፤ በእግዚአብሔር አለማመንን ወይም አለመተማመንን፣ የአንድን ሰው ሕይወት፣ ልብ እና አእምሮ ወደ እርሱ አለማስተላለፍን፣ እግዚአብሔርን አለማመንን እና እርሱ ወደሚመራበት ለመከተል ፈቃደኛ አለመሆንን ነው። ዳግም የተወለደ ክርስቲያን፣ ትሑት ልብ ያለው፣ እግዚአብሔርን ይወድዳል፣ ስለዚህም እውነትን ይወድዳል፣ እግዚአብሔር እውነት ነውና፣ ስለዚህም ስህተቶች እንዲታረሙ ፈቃደኛ ይሆናሉ። ሀሳቦቻቸው፣ አስተሳሰባቸውን እና እምነቶቻቸው ከሁሉም አለመግባባት እና ስህተት እንዲገመገሙ እና እንዲጸዱ ይጓጓሉ። በእውነት ውስጥ ማደግ ይወዳሉ ምክንያቱም ውስን መሆናቸውን ስለሚያውቁ እና ሁሉንም እውነት ስለማያውቁ። አሮጌ እምነቶችን ትተው በአዲስ ለመተካት ፈቃደኞች ናቸው ምክንያቱም ሊረዱትና ሊያደንቋቸው ይችላሉ።

ኤለን ጂ. ዋይት (EGW) ይህንን ስትጽፍ፣ በኤስዲኤ ቤተክርስቲያን አመራር ውስጥ ከባድ የዶክትሪን አለመግባባቶች ነበሩ። እሷ በኢየሱስ ሙሉ መለኮትነት የምታምን የሥላሴ እምነት ተከታይ ነበረች፣  ለራሱ የመጀመርያ የሆነ፣ ያልተበደረ፣ ከሌላ ሰው ያልተገኘ ሕይወት ነበረው። ነገር ግን የሪቪው ኤንድ ሄራልድ (እና ሌሎችም) አዘጋጅ የነበረው ኦሪያ ስሚዝ የኢየሱስን ሙሉ መለኮትነት አላመነም፣ እንደ አብ ዘር አድርገው አይተውትም ነበረ። ነገር ግን በአንድ ዶክትሪን ላይ ያለው ይህ አለመግባባት  ኤለን ጂ. ዋይት የጠቀሰቸውን ግጭት ወይም መለያየት አላመጣም። ምክንያቱም ሁለቱም ቡድኖች እግዚአብሔርን ታምነው እውነትን በሚረዱት መጠን ለመከተል ፈቃደኞች ነበሩ።

ዓለማዊነት እንደ ሙዚቃ፣ ፊልሞች፣ ጨዋታዎች፣ መጠጥ፣ አደንዛዥ ዕፅ እና የጾታ ታማኝነት ማጉደል ባሉ ነገሮች ላይ እየተጠቀሰ ነውን? እነዚህ በእርግጥ ዓለማዊነት ዓይነቶች ናቸው፣ እና በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ በነበርኩበት ጊዜ ሁሉ ይህ ዓለማዊነት መገለጫ እንደሆነ ሰምቻለሁ። ግን በእኔ አመለካከት፣ ይህ ዓለማዊነት ዋነኛው ችግር አይደለም፤ በእግዚአብሔር አለማመንን ወይም አለመተማመንን የሚያመጣው ዓለማዊነት ሥር አይደለም።

የቤተ ክርስቲያን ዋነኛ ችግር የሆነው ዓለማዊነት ወይም የዓለም መሰልነት የእግዚአብሔር ሕግ ሕግጋትን በመተላለፍ ምክንያት የሚጣሉ ቅጣቶችን እግዚአብሔር እንዲያመጣ የሚጠይቁት ሕጎች እንደሚሠሩ ማመን ነው። ክርስትናን የሚያበላሽ ዓለማዊነት የእግዚአብሔር ሕግ እንደ ዓለም ሕግ ነው፣ የእግዚአብሔር ፍትህ የዓለም ፍርድ ነው፣ የእግዚአብሔር ሥልጣን አጠቃቀም ዓለም ኃይልን እንደሚጠቀም እና የእግዚአብሔር ቁጣ የዓለም ቁጣ ነው በሚለው ውሸት ላይ የተመሰረቱ የቅጣት/የሕግ ሥነ-መለኮት ትምህርቶች ናቸው።

በሌላ አነጋገር፣ ቤተክርስቲያንን የበከለው እውነተኛ ዓለማዊነት እግዚአብሔርን ዓለማዊ ባህሪ ያለው፣ የተፈፀመ ሥቃይ፣ መከራ እና ሞት ምንጭ የሚያደርገው የቅጣት/የሕግ ሥነ-መለኮት ነው። እናም ይህ ህጋዊ ዓለማዊነት በቅጣት አማካኝነት “ፍትህ” እፈልጋለሁ የሚለው ሲሆን ይህም በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ አለመተማመንን ወይም አለማመንን ያስከትላል። ለምን? ምክንያቱም በዚህ የሕግ ሥነ-መለኮት ውስጥ፣ ሰዎች በቀጥታ በእግዚአብሔር ላይ እንዳይታመኑ፣ በእምነት በድፍረት ወደ እርሱ መገኘት እንዳይገቡ፣ ነገር ግን እኛን ለመደበቅ እና ከእርሱ ለመጠበቅ በተዘጋጁ የተለያዩ የሕግ ዘዴዎች እንዲታመኑ ተምረዋል። ክርስቲያኖች ለአብ ቁጣውን ለማስታረቅ ለቀረበው የሰው መስዋዕትነት የደም ክፍያ ላይ እምነት እንዲጥሉ ተምረዋል፤ አብ ክፋታችንን እንዳያይ በክርስቶስ ጽድቅ ቀሚስ ላይ መታመን፤ ምክንያቱም ካየው ሊገድለን ይጠበቅበታል፤ በሰማይ ወደሚገኝ የሕግ መዝገብ የገባ የሕግ ይቅርታ ለማግኘት መታመን፤ የተለያዩ ዓይነት አስታራቂዎችን – ኢየሱስን፣ ማርያምን፣ ቅዱሳንን – ከቁጣውና ከፍትሑ እንዲጠብቀን ወደ አብ እንዲሄዱ ተምረዋል።

ይህ ሁሉ ሕጋዊ ዓለማዊነት የሚያምኑ ሰዎችን እግዚአብሔርን አያምኑም፣ በቸርነቱ፣ በምሕረቱና በፍቅሩ አያምኑም፤ በእርሱ አያምኑም፤ ከእርሱ ለመጠበቅ አንድ ነገር ሲደረግላቸው ያምናሉ። ይህም በቀጥታ ወደ አለመቀደሳቸው ይመራቸዋል፣ ይህም ማለት ልባቸው አልነጹም፣ አልታደሱም፣ እንደገና አልተወለዱም፣ አልነጹም፣ መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ እንደሚያስተምረው ጻድቃን አይሆኑም (2ኛ ቆሮንቶስ 5:21) ። በምትኩ፣ በሕጋዊ ክፍያ ላይ እምነታቸውን ሲያደርጉ፣ እግዚአብሔር እንደ እውነቱ ከሆነ ኃጢአተኞች ሆነው ሲቀሩ ጻድቃን እንደሆኑ እንደሚያውጅላቸው ይማራሉ።

እነዚህ ሁሉ የተዛቡ እምነቶች ልብ እንደገና እንዳይወለድ ይከላከላሉ፣ ስለዚህ እነዚህ ሃይማኖተኛ ሰዎች ከአዳም የወረሱትን የፍርሃትና የራስ ወዳድነት መንፈስ ይዘው በአዲስ የፍቅርና የመተማመን መንፈስ እንደገና ከመወለድ ይልቅ በፍርሃትና በራስ ወዳድነት መንፈስ ተነሳስተው መኖር ቀጥለዋል። ልክ በክርስቶስ ዘመን እንደነበሩት የሕግ ፈሪሳውያን ይሆናሉ፣ ይህም በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ ወደ ውስጥ ገብተው ወደ ግጭት፣ የማያቋርጥ የቲዎሎጂ ክርክሮች፣ ደንብ ማውጣት፣ ፖሊስ ማድረግ፣ ማስፈጸም እና ከዚያ በኋላ ወደ አንድ ሰው የሕግ ትርጓሜ የማይስማሙ የተለያዩ ቡድኖች መከፋፈል ያስከትላል።

ቤተክርስቲያን እንድትቀደስ ከተፈለገች፣ የክርስቶስ ሙሽራ ሙሽራዋ ኢየሱስን ለመገናኘት ከተፈለገች፣ ቤተክርስቲያኗ ዓለማዊነትን ማስወገድ አለባት፣ የዓለምን  የሕግ ሥርዓትና የሕግ አስከባር ሥርዓት ውድቅ ማድረግ አለባት፣ እናም ሰማያትን፣ ምድርን፣ ባሕርንና የውሃ ምንጮችን የፈጠረውን እግዚአብሔርን እንደ ፈጣሪ ወደ ማምለክ መመለስ አለባት። ይህም የተጣለውን ሕግ ውድቅ ማድረግና የእግዚአብሔርን ሕጎች ሁሉ እንደ ንድፍ ሕጎች አድርገን መቀበልን ይጠይቃል። የእግዚአብሔር ፍርድ ሰዓት መጥቶአልና ሰዎች እንደ ሮማዊ ቄሳር ሆነው  እግዚአብሔርን መፍረድ አቁመው በእውነት ማምለክ የሚጀምሩበት ጊዜ በታሪክ ውስጥ መጥቷልና፤ ያን ጊዜ ብቻ እንነጻለን፣ እምነት እንደገና ይቋቋማል፣ ከዚያም በኋላ ልቦችና አእምሮዎች ይከፈታሉ፣ ሕዝቡም ይነጻሉ፣ ቤተክርስቲያኑ ዘላለማዊውን ወንጌል ወደ ዓለም ለመውሰድ ይነጻል እና ኃይል ይሰጠዋል።

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 14

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!
