Ake ucabange ngalokhu: UMxolisi udidekile. Ubelokhu ekholelwa kuNkulunkulu nasekutheni izinto zadalwa. Kodwa namhlanje uthisha wakhe we-biology ugomele ngokuthi ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kuyiqiniso, wathi kusekelwe ocwaningweni oluthembekile lwesayensi. UMxolisi akafuni ukubonakala eyisilima. Uyazitshela, ‘Uma isayensi ifakazela ukuthi ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kuyiqiniso, ngingubani mina ukuba ngingakungabaza lokho?’

Ukube ubunguMxolisi, ubungakholelwa ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo ngoba nje izincwadi zesikole zithi kuyiqiniso?

Abantu abakholelwa kulezi zimfundiso zombili bayashesha ukusho ukuthi yini abayikholelwayo yize bengazi ngempela ukuthi kungani beyikholelwa leyo nto.

• Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuthi izinto zadalwa, ngoba yilokho abakufundiswa esontweni.

• Abanye bakholelwa ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo, ngoba yilokho abakufundiswa esikoleni.

IBhayibheli lithi: “Yileyo naleyo ndlu yakhiwa othile, kodwa lowo owakha izinto zonke uNkulunkulu.” (Hebheru 3:4) Kunengqondo yini ukukukholelwa lokhu?

OKUSHIWOYO: Yonke into yaba khona ngenxa yokuqhuma okukhulu okwazenzakalela.

OKUSHIWOYO: Abantu bavela ezilwaneni.

OKUSHIWOYO: Kunobufakazi bokuthi ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kuyiqiniso.

“Ukube ubuhamba ehlathini bese ubona indlu enhle, ingabe ubungathi: ‘Yaze yayinhle! Kumelwe ukuba izihlahla ziwe ngendlela efanele kwabe sekwakheka le ndlu.’ Ubungeke! Akuhlakaniphile ukucabanga kanjalo. Kungani-ke kufanele sikholelwe ukuthi zonke izinto ezisemhlabeni zazivelela?”—UJabulile.

“Ake sithi othile ukutshele ukuthi kunento eqhume efekthri yokunyathelisa, u-inki wachitheka wasakazeka ezindongeni naphezulu ophahleni wabe usubhala amagama asesichazamazwini. Ubungamkholwa?”—UNontobeko.

IBhayibheli likukhuthaza ukuba usebenzise ‘amandla akho okucabanga.’ (Roma 12:1) Lokho kusho ukuthi ukukholelwa kwakho kuNkulunkulu akufanele kusekelwe

• ENDLELENI OZIZWA NGAYO (Nginomuzwa wokuthi kumelwe ukuba ukhona umuntu onamandla)

• ETHONYENI LABANYE (Ngihlala emphakathini osontayo)

• EKUTHENI ABANTU BAZOTHINI (Abazali bami bangifundisa ukuba ngikholelwe kuNkulunkulu—akukho engangingakwenza)

Esikhundleni salokho, kufanele ube nezizathu ezizwakalayo zento oyikholelwayo.

“Uma ngisekilasini ngilalele uthisha echaza indlela imizimba yethu esebenza ngayo, angingabazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Ilunga ngalinye lomzimba linomsebenzi walo, noma ngabe mncane kangakanani, futhi ngokuvamile amalunga enza le misebenzi singanakile. Umzimba womuntu ukushiya umangele ngempela!”—UThabile.

“Lapho ngibona ibhilidi eliphakeme, umkhumbi noma imoto, ngiyazibuza, ‘Ubani owakha le nto?’ Ukwakha imoto, ngokwesibonelo, kudinga abantu abahlakaniphile ngoba izingxenye eziningi kudingeka zisebenze ngendlela efanele ukuze ikwazi ukuhamba. Uma kudingeka kube nomuntu oklama izimoto, nabantu-ke nabo kudingeka kube nomuntu owabadala.”—UKwanele.

“Lapho ngifunda kakhulu isayensi, ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kwabonakala kungenasisindo. . . . Ngibona sengathi udinga ‘ukholo’ olukhulu ukuze ukholelwe ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo kunalolo oludingayo ukuze ukholelwe ukuthi kukhona uMdali.”—UThulani.

Naphezu kokuba ososayensi sebecwaninge iminyaka eminingi, abakayitholi incazelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo abavumelana ngayo bonke. Uma ososayensi bengavumelani ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo—kube kulindeleke ukuba babe ochwepheshe—wena unephutha yini uma uyingabaza le mfundiso?
