M<\/span> Marafiki wowote wanakubali mizizi ya Kikristo ya Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki lakini wanaonekana kuhisi kwamba wao (au Jumuiya kwa ujumla) wamepita mizizi hiyo na sasa ni wa jumuiya inayokaribisha watu wote. Wanaweza kutatizika kuelezea kile wanachoelewa kuwa misingi ya sasa ya Quakerism. Mara nyingi zile zinazoitwa ushuhuda wa Quaker hukaririwa kana kwamba hii ni sawa na imani\u2014kwamba tunaweza kufafanuliwa pekee na mambo tunayofanya, badala ya mambo yoyote tunayoamini. Huenda wakahisi kwamba watu wanaojieleza kuwa Wakristo wa Quaker ni mabaki yanayokufa ya wakati uliopita ambao hauzungumzi tena kuhusu hali ya ulimwengu wa kisasa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Marafiki hawako peke yao katika hili. Wanatheolojia wengi wa Kikristo wa kisasa wanashangaa jinsi na kama ujumbe wa Kikristo bado unaweza kuwashirikisha na kuwaangazia watu. John Shelby Spong amejaribu kujibu changamoto hiyo, na anafanya hivyo kwa njia ambayo ninaamini inaweza kuwa muhimu kwa washiriki wa jamii yetu wanaojitambulisha kuwa Wakristo na wasio Wakristo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kiini cha kila vuguvugu la kidini ni seti ya hadithi zinazofungamana zinazoelezea asili ya ukweli wa mwisho na nafasi ya ubinadamu ndani yake. Wakati vipengele mahususi vya hadithi hizo havina maana tena, vinaweza kuwekewa viraka au kurekebishwa. Lakini wakati watu wanapoteza imani katika muundo wote wa hadithi, harakati huvunjika na kupoteza wafuasi wake. Wakati fulani watu waliamini kwamba familia za miungu ziliishi mahali halisi panapoitwa Valhalla au juu ya Mlima Olympus. Sasa hawafanyi hivyo, na dini zilizotegemea hadithi za miungu hiyo zimetoweka. Hadithi bado zinathaminiwa kama ngano au hekaya, lakini hazikubaliwi tena kama ukweli au misingi ya kuaminika ya imani ya kidini. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kinyume chake, Dini ya Kiyahudi imestahimili kwa milenia kwa kuweka vipande vya hadithi zake za zamani na kuacha zingine—kujumuisha maarifa mapya ya kibinadamu na utambuzi mpya wa kiroho-ikibaki kuwa kweli kwa msingi wake huku ikibadilika kuzungumza upya kwa vizazi vipya. Ukristo leo unakabili changamoto ya kufanya vivyo hivyo. Naamini Quakerism pia hufanya hivyo. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n Ajabu<\/span>
\n<\/i> ni<\/span> ukosoaji wa utaratibu wa hadithi za jadi ambazo zinasisitiza Ukristo. Kuanzia na asili muhimu za Mungu na Yesu, Spong anafikiria tena kwa uangalifu kanuni za msingi za imani, mafundisho, na mafundisho ya msingi ya imani. Spong hana nia ya kuzikataa tu, bali anapendekeza njia mpya za kuelewa imani 12 za kimsingi za Kikristo. Hiki ni kitabu cha hadithi mpya kwa imani ya kale. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sio marekebisho haya yote yatavutia watu wote. Baadhi nimepata kulazimisha. Sura yenye kichwa ”Ufafanuzi Wetu wa Mungu: Kubadilika, Haijarekebishwa Kamwe” inaunda upya Ultimate kwa njia ambayo nadhani Marafiki wengi wangepata kuvutia na utambuzi. Nyingine zilihitaji kufikiria tena kubwa mno. Ufafanuzi upya wa Spong wa hadithi ya Pasaka, kwa mfano, unaonekana kuhitaji msomaji kupindisha na kupuuza maana ya wazi ya maneno katika hadithi za injili ili kuendelea kuamini katika ufufuo bila ufufuo usiowezekana wa kiafya wa nyama iliyokufa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Katika moyo wake, kitabu hiki kinatoa wito kwa dini inayozingatia upendo. Spong anaandika hivi katika muhtasari: \u201cNimejionea kwamba Mungu ndiye Chanzo cha Upendo. Upendo ndio nguvu inayoboresha maisha . . . njia pekee ya kumwabudu Mungu ni kwa kumpenda \u2018bila malipo\u2019 . . . aina ya upendo usiokoma ili kuhesabu ikiwa kitu anachopenda kinastahili kupokea.\u201d Huu ni msingi muhimu wa Spong kwa Ukristo. Vile vile ni mwamba ambao Uquakerism unaweza kuanzishwa\u2014mahali ambapo tunaweza kusimama kama Marafiki. Hili ni fundisho la kidini ambalo tunaweza kukariri tunapofikiwa na mgeni Jumapili asubuhi. Hiyo ndio hadithi, iliyobaki ni minutiae tu. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5090,"featured_media":3082204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,10002],"fpb_issue_category":[10259],"class_list":["post-3125315","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-vitabu-vya-septemba-2019","fpb_issue_category-septemba-2019"],"yoast_head":"\nAjabu: Kwa Nini Imani za Kale Wala Matengenezo Hayawezi Kuzalisha Imani Hai Leo - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/ajabu-kwa-nini-imani-za-kale-wala-matengenezo-hayawezi-kuzalisha-imani-hai-leo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ajabu: Kwa Nini Imani za Kale Wala Matengenezo Hayawezi Kuzalisha Imani Hai Leo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na John Shelby Spong.
