Ngakhale zili choncho, padzikoli pakhala pakupezeka kagulu ka anthu ochepa kwambiri amene sanasiye kutsatira choonadi. Mwachitsazon, ku Ulaya zaka zoposa 400 zapitazo kunali anthu ambiri amene anaphunzira uthenga woona wabwino chifukwa choti ankawerenga Baibulo pawokha pamene Baibulolo linasindikizidwa m’zinenero za anthuwo. Amuna ndi akazi amenewa anayamba kutchedwa "Abale mwa Khristu". Koma n’zomvetsa chisoni kuti ambiri mwa anthu amenewa anazunzidwa koopsa, ndipo ena anaphedwa chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chawo. Ambiri anathawa m’nyumba zawo, koma pamene ankathawa anatenga Uthenga Wabwino n’kumaufalitsa m’mayiko ambiri a ku Ulaya, kuwoloka nyanja zikuluzikulu. Koma sipanapite nthawi yaitali kuti choonadicho chisakanikiranenso ndi ziphunzitso zonyenga. (Pali phunziro la mphamvu apa: Choonadi sichisokonezedwa pokhapokha ngati anthu amene ali ndi choonadiwo akuwerenga ndi kuphunzira Mawu a Mulungu pawokha.)

Kosi gulu la ma Christadelphian linayamba bwanji?

M’chaka cha 1832, dokotala wina wa ku England, dzina lake John Thomas, amenenso anali m’busa wa tchalitchi chinachake, anakwera sitima yapamadzi imene inkapita ku New York. Iye anachita izi chifukwa bambo ake ankafuna kusamukira ku America. Ulendowu uli mkati, sitimayo inawomba nthaka chifukwa cha namondwe woopsa amene anachitika panyanjayo, ndipo Dr. Thomas ankangoganiza kuti basi, afera pomwepo. Iye anazindikira kuti sankadziwa zambiri zokhudza tsogolo, ndipo analumbira kuti ngati safa komanso akafika kumtunda ali wabwinobwino, ndiye kuti sapuma koma nthawi yomweyo adzayamba kufufuza choonadi pa nkhani yokhudza moyo umene anthu angakhale nawo pambuyo pomwalira. N’zosangalatsa kuti mkuluyu sanafe ndipo anafikadi ku New York. Atangofika, iye anachitadi zimene analonejza zija. Anakhala masiku okwana 15 akuphunzira Baibulo mwakhama zedi

Ndipo analinso ndi mpata wounika zimene matchalitchi ambirimbiri "Achikhristu" amaphunzitsa. Atakhutira kuti wamvetsa bwino zinthu zimene zinalembedwa m’Chipangano Chakale ndi Chatsopano chomwe zokhudza Yesu Khristu komanso zokhudza kubwera kwa ufumu wa Mulungu padziko lapansi, anakonza zoti abatizidwe, thupi lonse limire m’madzi. Iye anapitiriza kulalikira m’madera osiyanasiyana ku America komanso ku Britain ndipo analemba magazini ndi mabuku ambirimbiri a nkhani za mawu a Mulungu.

Pa gulu la anthu amene anayamba kukhulupirira zinthu zofanana ndi John Thomas n’kuyamba kugwirizana naye pa ntchito yakeyi panali Robert Roberts, yemwe kwawo kunali ku Scotland. Roberts anathandiza pa nthawi yokonza dongosolo labwino pakati pa Akhristu a agululi amene anayamba kuchuluka kwambiri, ndipo magulu amene ankaikamo anthuwa ankawatchula kuti ma eklesia. "Eklesia" ndi mawu a m’Baibulo amene amatanthauza "msonkhano wa anthu amene aitanidwa". Ma Christadelphians amaona kuti ndi bwino kugwiritsa ntchito mawu amenewa kusiyana ndi "tchalitchi"—dzina lomwe nthawi zina limatanthauza nyumba imene anthu amapemphereramo m’malo mwa anthu amene akupemphera m’nyumbayo.

Anthu amene angomva dzinali kwa nthawi yoyamba akhoza kudabwa

Dzina lakuti Christadelphian linagwiritsidwa ntchito koyamba mu 1864 pamene anthu okhulupirira anapempha boma la America kuti asamalembedwe ntchito za usilikali pa nthawi imene ku America kunali nkhondo ya pachiweniweni. Popeza pamafunika dzina loti anthuwa azidziwika nalo, John Thomas anakumbukira "Abale mwa Khristu" amene anali zaka zoposa 300 m’mbuyomo, choncho anasankha dzina lakuti ma 'Christadelphian', lomwe ndi dzina lachigiriki otanthauza Abale mwa Khristu. Ma Christadelphians a m’zaka za ma 1800 amene ankayenda zedi n’kumalalikira uthenga m’mayiko osiyanasiyana padziko lapansili. Choncho pofika kumapeta kwa zaka za m’ma 1800, anthuwa anali akupezeka m’mayiko ambirimbiri padziko lonse.

Kodi gulu la ma Christadelphians linalinganizidwa bwanji?

Pali makomiti osiyanasiyana amene amayang’anira ndi kuyendetsa ntchito ya umishonale, kuyang’anira ndi kuzonda odwala komanso okalamba, komanso anthu amene ali okhaokha. Komanso tili ndi maofesi m’mayiko angapo ndipo timafalitsa magazini ndi mabuku kudzera m’ma ofesi amenewa. Koma tilibe anthu kapena atumiki amene alipidwa. Tilibenso bungwe limene tingati ndilamphamvu kapena limene limayang’anira gulu lathu. Ndalama zoyendetsera ntchito yathu yonse anthu a m’gulu la ma Christadelphians amachita kupereka okha popanda kuwakakamiza. Tilibenso ansembe.

Koma mwina mungafunse kuti: ngati palibe gulu loyendetsa ngulu limeneli, kodi nchito yonse ya ma Christadelpians imayenda bwanji? Yankho ndi lakuti izi zimatheka chifukwa choti tonse tili ndi chikhulupiriro chofanana komanso timachita zinthu zofanana. Zimenezi zimathandiza kuti tizichita zinthu mogwirizana komanso mokondana monga mamembala a gululi.

Gulu lililonse limakhala ndi dongosolo lawo loyendetsera zinth ndipo limasankha lokha “akulu” otsogolera gululo. Izi zimachitika posankha akuluwo kamodzi chaka chilichonse mochita kuvota. Anthu amene amasankhidwa kuti azitumikira eklesia m’mautumiki osiyanasiyana, monga alembi, asungichuma, matcheyamani a misonkhano. N’zoona kuti pali m’madera ena amene mamembela a gululi amatha kupeza kapena kumanga nyumba zawozawo zopemphereramo. Komabe m’madera ambiri amapempherera m’nyumba ndi m’maholo ochita kubwereka

Zikukhulupiriro zofanana

Ma Christadelphians, kulikonse kumene ali apadzikoli, akhala akuwerenga ndi kuphunzira mabuku awo opatulika ndipo akhala akukhulupirira zinthu zofanana.

Amayesetsa kuchita zinthu zabwino momwe angathere, koma salowerera ndale, ndiponso samenya nkhondo kapena kutengera anthu kubwalo la milandu kuti akaweruzidwe. Amakhala ndi mkazi m’modzi komanso amapewa chigololo. (Timazindikira kuti ena alipo kale amene ali ndi akazi opitilira m’modzi pa nthawi imene iwo afika pakukhulupilira mawuwa, ndipo zoterezo zakambidwa mu Phunziro 33.)
