ʻOku Totonu ke Ke Tui ki Ai?
ʻOKU ke tui ki he Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua? ʻOku tui pehē ʻa e kakai tokolahi taha ʻi Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiane. Koeʻuhi pē, he kuo hoko ia ko e tefitoʻi tokāteline ʻa e ngaahi siasi ʻi he ngaahi senituli lahi.
Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, te ke fakakaukau ʻoku ʻikai malava ke fehuʻia ia. Ka ʻoku fehuʻia ia, pea naʻa mo e niʻihi ʻo hono kau poupou kuo nau toki tafunaki ʻa e fakakikihi ki ai.
Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau vakai lelei ki ha tuʻunga lea pehe ni? Koeʻuhi he naʻe pehē tonu ʻe Sīsū: “Pea ko eni ia ʻa e moʻui taʻengata, ke nau fai ke ʻilo koe ko e ʻOtua moʻonia pe taha, pea mo Sisu ne ke fekau mai.” Ko ia ko hotau kahaʻu fakakātoa ʻoku fakatuʻunga ia ʻi heʻetau ʻilo ʻa e anga moʻoni ʻo e ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ke tau aʻu ki he tefito ʻo e fakakikihi fekauʻaki mo e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua. Ko ia ai, ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke siviʻi ai ia ʻe koe?—Sione 17:3.
ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau kehekehe ki he Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua. Ka ʻi he taimi lahi ko e ako kau ki he Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua ʻoku pehē ko e ʻUluʻi-ʻotua ʻoku ʻi ai ha toko tolu, ko e Tamai, ʻAlo, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; ka neongo ia, ko kinautolu kotoa ko e ʻOtua pē taha. ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokāteline ʻoku tatau tofu pē ʻa e toko tolu ni, ʻo māfimafiʻia, pea taʻefakatupu, kuo nau ʻi ai taʻengata ʻi he ʻUluʻi-ʻotua.
Kaekehe, ʻoku pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻoku hala ʻa e tokāteline Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua, ʻa ia ko e ʻOtua Māfimafiʻia ʻoku tuʻu mavahe toko taha ia, ʻikai hano kamataʻanga pe ngataʻanga, pea ko e tokotaha mafai taʻefakangatangata ia. ʻOku nau pehē ko Sīsū, kimuʻa-ke-tangata, naʻe hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo, ko ha tokotaha laumālie naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻi he ʻuhinga ko eni kuo pau pē naʻe ʻi ai hono kamataʻanga. ʻOku nau akoʻi ʻoku ʻikai teitei tatau ʻa Sīsū mo e ʻOtua Māfimafiʻia ʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa; naʻa ne moʻulaloa ki he ʻOtua pea ʻoku ne kei pehē pē. ʻOku nau toe tui ʻoku ʻikai ko ha tokotaha ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ka ko e laumālie ia ʻo e ʻOtua, ko hono ivi ngāue.
ʻOku pehē ʻe he kau poupou ʻo e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua ʻoku ʻikai makatuʻunga ʻi he talatukufakaholo fakalotu pē, ka ʻi he Tohitapu foki. ʻOku pehē ʻe he kau fakaanga ki he tokāteline ʻoku ʻikai ko ha akonaki faka-Tohitapu ia, naʻa mo ha tohi fakahisitōlia ʻe taha ʻoku ne pehē: “Ko e kamataʻanga ʻo e [Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua] ʻoku fakapangani fakaʻaufuli.”—The Paganism in Our Christianity (Ko e Fakakaukau Fakapangani ʻi Heʻetau Lotu Faka-Kalisitiane).
Kapau ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua, ʻoku ne fakamāʻulaloʻi ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi he pehē naʻe ʻikai teitei tatau ia mo e ʻOtua ʻi hono tuʻunga ko ha konga ʻo e ʻUluʻi-ʻotua. Ka ʻo kapau ʻoku hala ʻa e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua, ʻoku ne fakamāʻulaloʻi ʻa e ʻOtua Māfimafiʻia ʻi hono ui ha taha ko hano tatau, pea toe kovi ange ke pehē ko Mele ko e “Faʻē ʻa e ʻOtua.” Pehē foki, kapau ʻoku hala ʻa e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua, ʻoku ne fakaongoongokoviʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ke pehē, hangē ko ia ʻoku fakamatala ʻi he tohi Catholicism: “Ka ʻikai tauhi [ʻe he kakai] ʻa e Tui ni ke kakato mo taʻemele, ʻoku ʻikai ha toe veiveiua te [nau] ʻauha taʻengata. Pea ko e Tui eni ʻa e Katolika: ʻoku mau lotu ki he ʻOtua ʻe taha ʻi he founga Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua.”
Ko ia, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lelei, ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ai ke ke fieʻilo ki he moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua. Ka ki muʻa ke siviʻi hono tupuʻanga pea mo hono taku ʻoku moʻoni, ʻe tokoni lahi ke fakamatala hono ʻuhinga ʻo e tokāteline ko eni ke mahino lelei ange. Ko e hā matematē ʻa e Tolu-tahaʻi-ʻotua? ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakamatalaʻi ia ʻe hono kau poupou?
