9. “Ukuphikisana kobuthutha lobuwula” kwakuliphambanisa njani ibandla lamaKhristu okuqala?

⁹ ILizwi likaNkulunkulu lilezixwayiso ezicacileyo mayelana lobubi okumele amaKhristu abudele kumbe abulahle. Ngokwesibonelo, uPhawuli engakakhulumi amazwi aku-2 Thimothi 2:19, waxwayisa uThimothi “ngokuxabana ngamazwi” lokuthi ‘axwaye izinkulumo zokweyisa.’ (Bala u-2 Thimothi 2:14, 16, 23.) Amanye amalunga ebandla ayesengenisa izimfundiso zabahlamuki ebandleni. Kanti njalo kukhanya angani abanye basebekhuluma izinto ezidala izingxabano. Lanxa kungayisikho ukuthi ababekukhuluma kwakuphikisana lemibhalo, kwakudala ukwahlukana. Kwakusenza ukuthi abantu baxabane ngamazwi futhi kungabi lokuthula ebandleni. Yikho uPhawuli wagcizelela ukuthi kumele ‘baxwaye ukuphikisana kobuthutha lobuwula.’

10. Kumele senzeni nxa sesihlangane lezimfundiso zabahlamuki?

¹⁰ Lamuhla kukalutshwana ukuthi kube labahlamuki ebandleni. Kodwa nxa kuyikuthi sesihlangane lezimfundiso ezingekho emibhalweni kumele singathikazi ukuzilahla, kungelani lokuthi zivela ngaphi. Kungaba yibuthutha ukutshona siphikisana labahlamuki, mhlawumbe ngokukhuluma labo ku-Internet loba ngezinye izindlela nje. Lanxa sizitshela ukuthi sifuna ukubanceda, ukukhuluma labo nje kuyabe sekusitsho ukuthi asisawulaleli umlayo wokuthi sidele ububi. Abantu bakaJehova bayazilahla sibili izimfundiso zabahlamuki.

11. Kuyini okungenza ukuthi kube ‘lokuphikisana kobuthutha,’ njalo abadala abangamaKhristu bangaba njani yizibonelo ezinhle endabeni le?

¹¹ Izimfundiso zabahlamuki kayisizo zodwa ezingabangela ukuthi kube lokuxabana ebandleni. Ngokwesibonelo kungaba ‘lokuphikisana kobuthutha lobuwula’ nxa abantu belemibono etshiyeneyo ngezokuzilibazisa. Kodwa nxa kuyikuthi othile sekhuthaza abanye ukuthi bazilibazise ngezinto ezingahambelani lezimiso zikaJehova zokuziphatha, abadala abangamaKhristu akumelanga bayekele ukumkhuza besesaba ukuthi kungaba lokuxabana. (Hubo. 11:5; Efe. 5:3-5) Nxa bemkhuza, kumele banamathele eMibhalweni hatshi kulokhu abakucabangayo. Kumele balandele isixwayiso esinikwa ababonisi abangamaKhristu esithi: ‘Yibani ngabelusi bomhlambi kaNkulunkulu eliwugcinayo, hatshi ukubusa ababekwe ezandleni zenu, kodwa liyisibonelo emhlambini.’—1 Phet. 5:2, 3; bala u-2 KwabaseKhorinte 1:24.

¹³ Izimiso zeBhayibhili esikhulume ngazo ziyasebenza lakwezinye izinto. Abantu ebandleni bangaxabana ngezinto umuntu alelungelo lokuzikhethela zona, ngokwesibonelo ukuthi umuntu ugqoka njani, welatshwa njani lokuthi udlani. ­Yikho-ke nxa okuthile kungaphikisani lezimiso eziseMibhalweni, abantu bakaJehova kumele bangaxabani ngakho, ngoba “inceku yeNkosi kumele ixwaye ingxabano; kodwa kumele ibe lomusa ebantwini bonke.”​—2 Tim. 2:24.
