Kusono Yini Kubhema?
Lokushiwo liBhayibheli
LiBhayibheli alikhulumi ngekubhema a nobe letinye tindlela tekusebentisa ligwayi. Kunaloko, licuketse timiso letikhombisa kutsi Nkulunkulu akayemukeli imikhuba lengcolile nalengenamphilo, kungako atsatsa kubhema njengesono.
Kuhlonipha kuphila. ‘Nkulunkulu . . . unika bonkhe bantfu kuphila nemoya.’ (Imisebenti 17:24, 25) Njengobe kuphila kusipho lesivela kuNkulunkulu, akukafanele sente nobe ngabe yini lengakunciphisa njengekubhema. Kubhema kungulenye yetimbangela letinkhulu tekufa lokungagwemeka emhlabeni wonkhe.
Lutsandvo ngamakhelwane. “Kufanele utsandze makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.” (Matewu 22:39) Kubhema emkhatsini walabanye akukhombisi kutsi uyabatsandza. Bantfu labangabhemi kodvwa labavame kuhogela intfutfu yeligwayi basengotini lenkhulu yekutfola letinye tifo letivamise kuphatsa labo lababhemako.
Sidzingo sekubangcwele. ‘Nikelani ngemitimba yenu ibe ngumhlatjelo lophilako, longcwele nalowemukelekako kuNkulunkulu.’ (Roma 12:1) “Asitihlante kuko konkhe kungcola kwenyama nekwemoya, siphelelise bungcwele betfu ngekwesaba Nkulunkulu.” (2 Khorinte 7:1) Kubhema akuhambisani nemvelo nekubangcwele—lokusho kuhlanteka nekubamsulwa—ngobe bantfu labasebentisa ligwayi bafaka emitimbeni yabo kungcola lokulimatako ngenhloso.
LiBhayibheli liyakhuluma yini ngekusebentisa insangu nobe letinye tidzakamiva kute sitijabulise?
EBhayibheli kute ligama longalitfola letitsi insangu noma emagama aletinye tidzakamiva. Kodvwa licuketse timiso letikulahlako kuba yimilutsa yetidzakamiva ngenjongo yekutijabulisa. Ngetulu kwaletimiso, naku lokunye lesingakusebentisa:
Sidzingo sekulawula tingcondvo. LiBhayibheli litsi: “Kufanele utsandze Jehova Nkulunkulu wakho . . . nangayo yonkhe ingcondvo yakho.” (Matewu 22:37, 38) Liphindze litsi: “Nichubeke nicabangisisa kahle.” (1 Phetro 1:13) Umuntfu losebentisa kabi tidzakamiva akakhoni kuyilawula ngalokuphelele ingcondvo yakhe futsi bantfu labanyenti babe yimilutsa yato. Bahlale bacabanga ngetindlela tekutfola letidzakamiva kanye nekutisebentisa kunekutsi bacabange ngetintfo letakhako.—Filiphi 4:8.
Kulalela imitsetfo yabohulumende. ‘Lalelani babusi netiphatsimandla.’ (Thithusi 3:1) Etindzaweni letinyenti, imitsetfo yabohulumende ngiyo lelawula ngalokuphelele kusetjentiswa kwetidzakamiva. Nangabe sifuna kujabulisa Nkulunkulu kufanele silalele imitsetfo yetiphatsimandla.—Roma 13:1.
a Lapha kubhema kubhekisela ekuhosheni intfutfu yeligwayi, kungaba sitiki seligwayi, sigazo, lipipi nobe lishawulo. Nome kunjalo, letimiso lokukhulunywa ngato tisebenta ngalokufanako naselugwayini loluhlafunwako, sinefu, ligwayi lolungalayidwa lolunesidzakamiva i-nicotine, naletinye tinhlobo teligwayi.
