Kungani OFakazi BakaJehova Bengayi Empini?

Nazi izizathu ezenza oFakazi BakaJehova bangayi empini:

1. Balalela uNkulunkulu. IBhayibheli lithi izikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu “ziyokhanda izinkemba zazo zibe ngamageja . . . futhi ngeke zisayifunda impi.”—Isaya 2:4.

2. Balalela uJesu. UJesu wathi kumphostoli uPetru: “Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo, ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bayobhubha ngenkemba.” (Mathewu 26:52) Ngakho uJesu wabonisa ukuthi abalandeli bakhe babengeke baphathe izikhali zempi.

   Abafundi bakaJesu balalela umyalo wakhe othi “abayona ingxenye yezwe” ngokuqhubeka bengathathi hlangothi kwezombusazwe. (Johane 17:16) Ababhikishi ngokumelene nezimpi noma baphazamise labo abakhetha ukuba amasosha.

3. Bathanda abanye. UJesu wayala abafundi bakhe ukuba ‘bathandane.’ (Johane 13:34, 35) Babeyokwakha ubuzalwane bomhlaba wonke futhi alikho ilungu elaliyophakamisa isikhali ngokumelene nomfowabo noma udadewabo.—1 Johane 3:10-12.

4. Isibonelo samaKristu okuqala. I-Encyclopedia of Religion and War ithi: “Abalandeli bakaJesu bokuqala benqaba ukuya empini nokwenza umsebenzi wezempi,” beqaphela ukuthi ukwenza kanjalo “akuhambisani nendlela kaJesu yothando nomyalo wokuba bathande izitha zabo.” Isazi sezenkolo saseJalimane uPeter Mein­hold sasho lokhu ngalabo bafundi bakaJesu bokuqala: “Ukuba umKristu nesosha kwakubhekwa njengezinto ezingahlangani.”
