Esinye sezimo ezingavamile kakhulu zokuphila komuntu ukufa, ngoba akekho oye wakwazi ukuthola ukuthi yini ngemuva kwalokhu. Abantu abaningi, ngokuqinisekile, bazibamba ngokwabo becabanga ngalokho okubalindele ngemva kokufa nokuthi yiziphi izulu nesihogo ezibukeka njengeqiniso. Ubani ozokutshela ukuthi kukhona umphefumulo kanye nezinye izinhlobo zokuphila, okuhlukile kweyethu ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngaphesheya kokuphila.
Abantu abaningi bakholelwa ekufeni okulandelayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi kulula ukuhlala, ngoba umuntu uyazi ukuthi akayikufa ngokuphelele, kodwa umzimba wakhe uzothinteka ukufa, kodwa umphefumulo uzophila.
Kuningi ubufakazi obubuKristu behogo nezulu, kodwa lezi zifakazelo, futhi, azibonakali, kodwa zikhona kuphela emakhasini oNgcwele. Futhi kufanelekile ukuthatha ngokoqobo amazwi eBhayibheli mayelana nokuba khona kwalezo zindawo, uma kuyaziwa ukuthi konke okukule ncwadi akulotshiwe ngokoqobo, kodwa ngokweqile?
Ukukhanya ekupheleni komhubhe
Kukhona abantu ababesesimweni sokufa, bakhuluma ngemizwa yabo ngesikhathi lapho umphefumulo wabo ulinganisa phakathi kwezwe lethu kanye namanye amazwe. Njengomthetho, abantu babethule lolu lwazi cishe olufanayo, nakuba babengasazi kahle.
Imithi esemthethweni inikeza amaqiniso ngalabo bantu abaye bakwazi ukubhekana nomuntu noma ukufa komtholampilo. Kungacatshangwa ukuthi laba ngabantu ababona isihogo neparadesi. Wonke umuntu wabona eyakhe, kodwa abaningi bachaza ukuqala "kohambo" lwakhe ngendlela efanayo. Ngesikhathi sokufa komtholampilo, babona umgwaqo lapho kwakukhona khona ukukhanya okukhulu, kodwa ososayensi abangakholwayo balondoloza ukuthi lezi yizinto zokuqala zamakhemikhali-ezenzakalweni ezenzeka ebuchosheni bomuntu ngesikhathi sokufa.
Muva nje, ososayensi bebelokhu besebenza ngalolu daba, beveza izici ezintsha. Ngesikhathi sakhe, uRaymond Moody wabhala incwadi enesihloko esithi "Life After Life", okuyinto eyashukumisela ososayensi ukuba bahlole ucwaningo olusha. U-Raymond ngokwakhe ukhulume encwadini yakhe ukuthi ukuzwa kokungabikho komzimba kungabonakala ngezimo ezithile:
- Imisindo engavamile ingazwakala kusukela ekukhuleni;
- unciphisa yonke imisebenzi yomzimba yomzimba womuntu;
- indoda efile iphuma emzimbeni wayo futhi umphefumulo wakhe uhamba eceleni komhubhe, ekupheleni kwawo okukhanya okukhanya;
- ngokungazi lutho kunezithombe ezihlukahlukene ezivela ekuphileni okudlule (izikhathi ezicacile nezikhunjulwayo);
- ukuhlangana nezihlobo noma abangane abaye basuka ezweni labaphilayo.
Labo bantu ababuya "kwelinye izwe" bathi impilo emva kokufa ikhona, kanye nezulu nesihogo. Kodwa bahlukaniswe ngokukhethekile: bayatshela ukuthi bakhumbula futhi babona konke okwenzekile nxazonke ngesikhathi sokufa komtholampilo, kodwa ngeshwa babengenakukwenza noma ngandlela-thile bazizwa bephila. Kodwa into ethakazelisayo kakhulu ukuthi abantu abayimpumputhe kusukela ekuzalweni bakwazi ukuchaza lezo zenzakalo ukuthi amehlo abone.
The Mystery of Hell and Heaven
EbuKristwini, ukuba khona kwezulu nesihogo akumele nje emibhalweni yeBhayibheli, kodwa nakwezinye izincwadi ezingokomoya. Mhlawumbe iqiniso lokuthi kusukela ebuntwaneni, sitshala imali emakhanda ethu futhi sidlala indima ebusweni kwezinye izimo.
Isibonelo, abantu abathiwa babuya "kwelinye izwe" bachaza ukuthi kwenzekani emininingwaneni encane kakhulu. Labo ababesesihogweni basitshela ukuthi kwakukhona izinto eziningi ezimbi ezungeze amakhanda abo
Abanye ababesePharadesi, ngokuphambene nalokho, bachaza impilo emva kokufa njengento elula kakhulu ngephunga elimnandi nemizwa evelele kakhulu. Bathi futhi ePharadesi umphefumulo wawunalo lonke ulwazi olungenzeka.
Kodwa kukhona okuningi "kodwa" embuzweni wokuba khona kwesihogo nezulu. Noma yikuphi ukucabanga nokucabanga, okungeke kubonakaliswe abantu ababesinda ekufeni, kungaziwa ukuthi lezi zindawo zikhona yini ngempela. Ngokwezinga elikhulu, umbuzo wokukholelwa esihogweni neparadesi uphefumulelwe yinkolo futhi ukholelwa noma uphike ukuthi umphefumulo emva kokufa uyaqhubeka uhlala esihogweni noma ipharadesi yindaba yangasese kubo bonke abantu.
