Tikuwona kuti ndi udindo ndi udindo wathu pamaso pa Mulungu kuchenjeza owerenga athu za gululi lomwe mkati mwa zaka 100 lalowa mosalekeza m'mabwalo a maphunziro kuyambira ku pulaimale ndi masukulu apamwamba mpaka ku makoleji ndi mayunivesite athu; chiphunzitso chake chimaloŵerera m’maphunziro a achichepere mamiliyoni ambiri m’dziko lonselo amene, kupatulapo ataphunzitsidwa mwanjira ina kunyumba ndi kutchalitchi, akukula opanda chipembedzo ndi opanda mitheradi iriyonse ya makhalidwe.

Humanism imanena kuti si chipembedzo, koma ndi chipembedzo chofanana ndi Chikomyunizimu. Ndi chipembedzo chopanda umulungu, chimene chimalimbikitsa kukonda chuma ndi kukhutiritsa m’zosangalatsa zonse za moyo popanda kulingalira za Mlengi kapena malamulo Ake monga momwe Malemba amaphunzitsira.

M’chenicheni, mwapang’onopang’ono Humanism yatha kuthamangitsa Mulungu, Yesu, Baibulo, ndi pemphero m’kalasi mwa kunamizira ‘kupatukana kwa tchalitchi ndi boma,’ (ngakhale kuti Baibulo linali bukhu lalikulu logwiritsiridwa ntchito m’masukulu pamene lamuloli linali lopanda tanthauzo. zidakhazikitsidwa). Humanism imathandizidwa bwino ndi bwenzi lake lolimba, Bungwe la Ufulu Wachibadwidwe (?) Mgwirizano, pamene uku kunyengezera kuteteza ufulu wa anthu wa anthu onse, kwenikweni ndi mdani wa Mulungu, Baibulo ndi zipembedzo zonse. Tsiku lililonse timaŵerenga za ntchito zake m’mapepala a mzinda uliwonse ndi tauni.

Tikudziwa kuti munthu wopanda Mulungu amatayika mopanda chiyembekezo. Ali ngati munthu wakhungu m’chipinda chamdima akufunafuna mphaka wakuda yemwe palibe. Munthu wopanda Baibulo sadziŵa mmene anafikira pano, kumene akupita ndi tsogolo lake. Chipambano chake cha sayansi, filosofi ndi maphunziro, chimene akudzitamandira nacho kwambiri, sichinakhudze nkomwe nkhani zenizeni za moyo.

Ndi kupita patsogolo kwake kodabwitsa kwa zaumisiri, iye sanathe kutembenuzira mtima wa munthu kwa Mulungu. Inde, iye ‘angaulambalale’ mtima, ‘kuuikamo’ kapenanso kupatsa munthu wochita kupanga, koma sangasinthe mtima wa munthu kapena kumupanga kukhala ‘cholengedwa chatsopano’ monga mwana wa Mulungu. Munthu amaphunzira nthawi zonse, koma sangathe mwa kuyesetsa kwake kufika pa chidziwitso cha chowonadi choyambirira chifukwa cha mtima wosalapa ndi kusowa kwa Mzimu wa Mulungu kuti atsogolere moyo wake, kutayika kwake (2 Timoteo 3:7). Kumbali ina, ana owomboledwa a Mulungu ali nacho chowonadi chimenechi m’maganizo mwawo ndi kukhala m’mitima yawo.

Sadzidalira okha koma amadalira Mulungu kaamba ka chitsogozo ndi chitsogozo m’zochitika zonse za moyo. Motero, amakhoza kulimbana ndi nkhani za moyo momveka bwino ndiponso momveka bwino chifukwa amaika maganizo awo pa zinthu zakumwamba osati za dziko lapansi (Akol. 3:2).

Zapadziko lapansi, zowoneka, ngakhale zili zenizeni, pamapeto pake zimawonongeka, zipita, koma zakumwamba zosaoneka zimakhala mpaka muyaya (2 Akorinto 4:18).

Pali makonzedwe ndi chifuno m’moyo wa munthu, zolinganizidwa ndi Mulungu wanzeru zonse dziko lapansi lisanakhazikitsidwe ndipo pang’onopang’ono likufikira ku mapeto ake omalizira koma aulemerero. Okhulupirira umunthu amanena kuti munthu, chotulukapo cha chisinthiko, osati chirengedwe, sanachimwepo, chotero, sanafune konse Mpulumutsi kapena ngakhale Mulungu; kuti tsogolo lake lili m'manja mwake ndi luntha. Ndichiyembekezo chosauka komanso chopanda chiyembekezo. Anthu amene amanyengedwa ndi anthu amakana umunthu wa Satana komanso wa Mulungu. Malinga ndi kunena kwa iwo, Satana ndi nthano chabe ya malingaliro achipembedzo kuti asunge munthu kugonjera atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi chipembedzo chifukwa cha mantha. Koma Baibulo limaphunzitsa zosiyana ndi zimenezi. Satana ndi weniweni. Timauzidwa za chilengedwe chake monga kerubi wonyezimira wodzala ndi kukongola, mphamvu ndi nzeru, amene anachimwira momvetsa chisoni Mlengi wake pamene anadzazidwa ndi kunyada, kulakalaka kulambiridwa ndi kulambiridwa kwa anthu ndi angelo amene anali a Mulungu yekha. Satana ananamiza mayi Hava, kum’nyengerera kuti asamvere Mulungu ndi kugwera pansi pa mphamvu zake zoipa ndi chisonkhezero chake ( Yes. 14:3-23; Ezek. 28:11-19; Gen. 3:1-5 ). Chotero, Lusifara (wonyamula kuunika) anakhala Satana, mdani wa Mulungu ndi munthu. Okhulupirira zaumunthu sangathe kufotokoza chifukwa chake munthu amafa, koma Baibulo limapereka yankho ( Gen. 3:15 ); Okhulupirira anthu sapereka chiyembekezo cha moyo pambuyo pa manda, pamene Baibulo limaphunzitsa za chiukiriro chimene chikubwera cha akufa (Yohane 5:28, 29).

Munthu, mosonkhezeredwa ndi Satana, wakana ulamuliro wa Mulungu pa iye, mofanana ndi mwana amene, pamene aphunzira kuyenda, safuna kulamuliridwa ndi makolo ake. Munthu amadzitama kuti, “Ine ndine woyendetsa chombo changa, ndine mbuye wa moyo wanga,” ndipo amadzipangira malamulo ake mosasamala kanthu za chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa iye. Mkhalidwe wa dziko wamakono uli chotulukapo cha kulingalira kopanda nzeru koteroko,

kudzitama kopusa, ndi kunyada ndi mphamvu ya munthu, luntha ndi zipambano zake, m’malo momvetsetsa kuti “mphatso iliyonse yabwino ichokera Kumwamba”! Chotero, munthu lerolino amadzipeza ali wozunguliridwa ndi zolephera zake popanda njira yotulukira. Zamulungu za umunthu zakhazikika pa mizati inayi ikuluikulu. Ali:

1. Kusakhulupirira Mulungu komwe kuli chikhulupiriro chakuti kulibe Mulungu kapena Mlengi, palibe Woweruza amene tsiku lina munthu aliyense ayenera kudziŵerengera mlandu kwa iye. Baibulo limanena za anthu osakhulupirira oterowo kuti: “Chitsiru chimati mumtima mwake, palibe Mulungu.” ( Salmo 14:1; 53:1 ) “Chitsiru chimati kulibe Mulungu.” Ndipo ngati kulibe Mulungu palibenso Mwana wangwiro wa Mulungu - Yesu - ndipo palibe angelo ~ dziko lopanda kanthu, lopanda anthu la Okhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu.

2. Chisinthiko chimatsatira mwachibadwa pazidendene za mzati woyamba. Koma ngati kulibe Mlengi, ndimotani mmene munthu amalongosolera kukhalapo kwa nsomba, mbalame, zokwawa, zoyamwitsa ndi munthu iyemwini pankhope ya dziko lapansi, zonse “monga mwa mitundu yawo? Okhulupirira anthu amapereka chisinthiko monga kufotokozera kuti munthu ndi zamoyo zonse zidasinthika kuchokera ku moyo wocheperako kupyola mabiliyoni azaka mpaka momwe zilili lero. Zopusa zamkhutu? Poyeneradi! Komabe lerolino, aphunzitsi ndi asayansi ophunzira kwambiri amakhulupirira ndi kuphunzitsa chisinthiko, osati monga nthanthi koma monga chowonadi cha sayansi.

Katswiri wa Chisinthiko sangakhulupirire Mulungu wotchulidwa m’Baibulo. Kukhulupirira Mulungu kumatsutsa ndi kuwononga chiphunzitso chaumunthu cha chisinthiko. Munthu sangakhulupirire zonse ziwiri. Ngati chisinthiko chiri chowona, ndiye kuti nkhani ya m’Baibulo ya Chilengedwe si yowona—nthano, nkhani yongopeka ya chinachake chimene sichinachitike kwenikweni.

Izi, ndithudi, zimatsutsa kugwa kwa munthu kuchokera ku ungwiro kupita ku uchimo ndi imfa ndi kufunikira kotheratu kwa Mpulumutsi.

3. Amoral ndi mzati wachitatu wa Humanism umene umachokera mu ziwiri zoyambirira. Ngati kulibe Mulungu, munthu samangidwa ndi lamulo la Mulungu. Palibe zabwino kapena zoyipa. Munthu akhoza kupanga malamulo akeake, komabe alibe maziko, palibe cholimba chimene angapangirepo moyo wake. Zonse ndi mchenga.

Chikhalidwe cha makhalidwe abwino chimatanthauza kukhala wopanda makhalidwe - munthu aliyense kuti apeze chirichonse chimene angathe pa moyo wake ndi mwa njira zonse kuyiwala Malamulo Khumi. Chilichonse chomwe munthu angachipeze ndi chabwino. “Chitani za iwe mwini” ndiyo mawu awo, koma Baibulo limati: “Njira ya chitsiru iri yolungama pamaso pake; koma womvera uphungu ali wanzeru; Komanso “Ilipo njira yooneka kwa munthu ngati yoongoka, koma matsiriziro ake ndi njira za imfa” (Miyambo 12:15; 14:12).

4. Palibe Mtheradi kapena mitundu ya makhalidwe yomwe ili yamuyaya, yosasinthika, yosatsutsika, ndi yolimba ngati thanthwe. Mwachitsanzo: Ulemelero, ulemelero ndi kufunika kwa munthu zimakhazikika pachoonadi chakuti Mulungu adalenga munthu m’chifanizo chake. Iye anauzira mwa iye mpweya wa moyo ndipo munthu anakhala wamoyo (Gen. 2:7). Koma ngati kulibe Mulungu, ndiye kuti palibe cholengedwa; munthu anasanduka kuchokera ku chilombo, chotero palibe ulemu, palibe wolemekezeka, kapena chiyembekezo chirichonse chamuyaya kwa munthu. Iye ali chabe dongosolo lapamwamba la nyama, komabe nyama yokha.

Kuchokera m’maganizo otere mumachokera malingaliro ochotsa mimba. Moyo si wopatulika ndipo popeza kuti Mulungu sanalenge zamoyo, sayenera kufunsidwa. Munthu yekha ndi amene angasankhe ngati mwana wosabadwayo achotsedweratu (kuphedwa) kapena kukhala ndi moyo. Woyambitsa moyo ali kunja kwa chithunzicho kotheratu, ndipo kokha kumasuka kwa mayi woyembekezera kuyenera kufunsidwa m'chigamulo ichi cha moyo ndi imfa. Ngati Mulungu sanafunsidwe kuti achotse mimba, zimenezi zingatsogolere ku kuthetsa okalamba amene ‘akutha msinkhu. Ngati palibe miyezo ya makhalidwe abwino yoperekedwa ndi Mulungu ya chabwino ndi choipa, ndiye kuti chabwino chimasanduka cholakwika mosavuta ndipo choipa chimakhala choyenera. Ndiyeno, nchiyani chimene chiri cholakwa ndi kugonana kwa ofanana ziŵalo, chigololo, dama, uchidakwa ndi mtundu uliwonse wa chivundi chimene chaloŵerera m’nyumba kudzera m’mawailesi owulutsa mawu ndi makina osindikizira amene tsopano akulamulira ora lamakonoli m’mbiri ya anthu?

Malingaliro aumunthu agwira ndi kulamulira malingaliro a amuna ophunzira kwambiri limodzinso ndi awo amene amawatsatira mwachimbulimbuli, kuphatikizapo mbadwo wachichepere umene akuphunzitsidwa ndi iwo. Koma Mtumwi Paulo akuchenjeza mu Aroma 12:2, “…Musafanizidwe ndi makhalidwe a pansi pano...” ndiko kunena kuti, musakhale ndi kachitidwe, kuumbidwa, kuumbidwa, ndi nzeru za dziko lino, pakuti nthawi iliyonse mukatembenuka. pa TV, kuŵerenga nyuzipepala kapena kutumiza ana anu kusukulu yakudziko, nonse aŵiri inu ndi iwowo mukukanthidwa ndi nthanthi yaumunthu yozikidwa pa nthanthi yakuti kulibe Mulungu ndipo chirichonse chimapita ngati inu mungachipeze.

“Musafanizidwe ndi makhalidwe a pansi pano.” Koma filosofi yaumunthu kumbali zonse imatipanikiza mwamphamvu kotero kuti tikukhala ndi vuto la kusatengera dziko lino. Nkosavuta kwambiri kutsatira unyinji wa anthu ndi kupeŵa kudzudzulidwa ndi kunyozedwa kwa ‘akuluakulu’ athu ophunzira, mwakutero kulandira chivomerezo chawo kotero kuti tidzipeza tiri m’nkhondo ya gulu loyamba ya moyo kapena imfa.

Paulo akupitiriza, “Koma mukhale osandulika, mwa kukonzanso kwa mtima wanu…” Ichi ndi chinsinsi ~ kusandulika! Ngati malingaliro a dziko lapansi alowa m’maganizo mwanu, kuumba maganizo anu, tikukulimbikitsani mwamphamvu kuti muyambe tsopano kulola kuti Mulungu akusintheni; kuchokera mkati kupita kunja, monga momwe mbozi imakwera pamwamba pamene moyo wa mbozi umafa pamene imasandulika kukhala gulugufe wowuluka. Chotsani nzeru zonse zaumunthu kuchokera kumbali zonse za malingaliro anu ndi kulola mzimu wokhalamo wa Mulungu kulanda mbali iriyonse ya luntha lanu ndi moyo wanu, kudzaza ndi choonadi cha Mawu amoyo ndi amphamvu a Mulungu.

Tingakhale otsimikiza kuti pamapeto pake Satana sadzapambana. Adzagonjetsedwa, kumangidwa ndipo potsirizira pake adzawonongedwa (Chiv. 20:1-3. 10; Aheb. 2:14). Mphamvu zophatikizana zamdima sizingapambane. Mulungu adzakwaniritsa zifuno Zake zonse, ndipo tsiku lina, pamene Mfumu Yake ikulamulira, “bondo lirilonse lidzagwada, ndi lilime lirilonse lidzavomereza kuti Yesu Kristu ali Ambuye, ku ulemerero wa Mulungu Atate” ~ “Ndipo kudzachitika kuti, munthu aliyense amene sadzamva (kumvera) Mneneri ameneyo (Yesu), adzawonongedwa pakati pa anthu.” ( Afil. 2:10 11; Mac.

Mfumu yathu ikuguba!

We feel it our duty and responsibility before God to warn our readers about this movement which within 100 years hassteadily infiltrated itself into the halls of education from elementary and High Schools to our Colleges and Universities; its teaching permeates the curriculum of millions of young people all over the country who, unless taught otherwise at home and church, are growing without religion and without any moral absolutes.

Humanism claims that it is not a religion, but it is as much a religion as Communism. It is a Godless religion, which promotes materialism and indulgence in all the pleasures of life without giving a thought to the Creator or His laws as taught in Scripture.

In fact, gradually Humanism has been able to banish God, Jesus, the Bible, and prayer out of the classroom under the pretext of ‘separation of church and state,’ (even though the Bible was the main book used in schools when this law was put into effect). Humanism is ably assisted by its staunch ally, the Civil Liberties (?) Union, this while pretending to defend the civil liberties of all people, really is an enemy of God, the Bible and all religion in general. We daily read about its activities in the papers of every city and town.

We know that man without God is hopelessly lost. He is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that is not there. Man without the Bible does not know how he got here, where he is going and what the future holds for him. His scientific, philosophical and educational achievement, of which he boasts so greatly, has not even touched the real issues of life.

With all his astounding technological advances, he has not been able to turn man’s heart toward God. Yes, he can ‘bypass’ the heart, ‘transplant’ it or even give man an artificial one, but he cannot transform man’s heart or make him a ‘new creature’ as a son of God. Man is ever learning, but never able by his own effort to come to the knowledge of basic truth because of an unrepentant heart and lack of God’s Spirit to lead his life, hence his lost condition (2 Timothy 3:7). On the other hand, God’s redeemed children have this truth imbedded in their minds and lodged in their hearts.

They don’t depend on self but on God for guidance and direction in all affairs of life. Thus, they are able to face life’s issues clearly and logically for they have set their affections on things above and not on earthly temporal things (Col. 3:2).

Earthly, visible things, while real, eventually perish and pass away, but heavenly, invisible things endure forever (2 Corinthians 4:18).

There is a design and purpose in human life, planned by an all-wise God before the foundation of the world and gradually enfolding to its final but glorious end. Humanists claim that man, a product of evolution, not creation, never sinned, therefore, never needed a Savior or even a God; that his future destiny is in his own hands and intelligence. What a poor and hopeless prospect indeed. Those deluded by humanism reject the personality of Satan as well as God. According to them, Satan is a figment of religious thinking in order to keep man subject to the clergy and religion through fear. But the Bible teaches otherwise. Satan is real. We are told of his creation as a resplendent cherub full of beauty, power and wisdom, who sadly sinned against his Creator when he became filled with pride, craving the adoration and worship of men and angels which belonged to God alone. Satan lied to mother Eve, inducing her to disobey God and fall under his evil power and influence (Isa. 14:3-23; Ezek. 28:11-19; Gen. 3:1-5). Thus, Lucifer (bearer of light) became Satan, enemy of God and man. Humanists cannot explain why man dies, but the Bible gives the answer (Gen. 3:15); Humanists offer no hope of life beyond the grave, while the Bible teaches of a coming resurrection of the dead (John 5:28, 29).

Man, under the influence of Satan, has refused God’s rule over him, just like a child who, upon learning to walk, does not want to be controlled by his parents. Man boasts, “I am the captain of my ship, I am the master of my soul,” and makes his own rules regardless of God’s will for him. The present world situation is the result of such irrational thinking,

foolish boasting, and pride in man’s own power, intelligence and achievements, instead of understanding that “every good gift comes from above!” Therefore, man today finds himself surrounded by his own failures with no way out. Humanistic theology rests on four major pillars. They are:

1. Atheism which is the belief that there is no God or Creator, no Judge to whom one day every human being must give an account. The Bible speaks of such unbelievers: “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1; 53:1). And if there is no God there is also no perfect Son of God –Jesus – and no angels ~ just the empty, vacant universe of the Atheist.

2. Evolution follows quite naturally on the heels of the first pillar. But if there is no Creator, how does one explain the presence of fish, birds, reptiles, mammals and man himself on the face of the earth, all “after their own kind?” Humanists give evolution as the explanation that man and all living things evolved from lower life forms through billions of years to what they are today. Fantastic nonsense? Indeed! Yet today, highly educated professional educators and scientists believe and teach evolution, not as a theory but as scientific fact.

An Evolutionist logically cannot believe in the God of the Bible. Faith in God condemns and destroys this human theory of evolution. One cannot believe in both. If evolution is true, then the Biblical account of Creation is untrue - a myth, a fanciful story of something that never really happened.

This, of course, denies the fall of man from perfection into sin and death and the absolute need of a Savior.

3. Amorality is the third pillar of Humanism which naturally comes forth out of the first two. If there is no God, man is not bound by God’s law. There are no such things as good or bad. Man can make his own laws, yet he has no foundation, nothing solid on which he can build his life. All is quicksand.

Amorality means to be without morals - every man for himself to get whatever he can out of life and by all means to forget the Ten Commandments. Whatever one can get away with is okay. “Do your own thing” is their slogan, but the Bible says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that hearkens unto counsel is wise;” also “There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 12:15; 14:12).

4. No Absolutes or forms of conduct that are eternal, unchangeable, uncontroversial, and firm as a rock. For example: the dignity, nobility and worth of man are inseparably based on the truth that God created man in His image. He breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). But if there is no God, then there was no creation; man evolved from a beast, so there is no dignity, no nobility, nor any eternal hope for man. He is just a higher order of animal being, but still only animal.

Out of such thinking comes the abortion mentality. Life is not sacred and since God did not create life, He is not to be consulted. Man alone will decide if and when an unborn child should be aborted (murdered) or live. The Author of life is out of the picture completely, and only the convenience of the prospective mother is to be consulted in this decision of life and death. If God is not consulted in terminating a pregnancy, this could lead to terminating the elderly who have “outlived their usefulness.” If there are no God-given moral standards of right and wrong, then right easily becomes wrong and wrong easily becomes right. Then, what is wrong with homosexuality, adultery, fornication, alcoholism and every kind of corruption that has invaded the home through airwaves and the printing press that now dominates this present hour in human history?

Humanistic thinking has captured and controls the minds of highly educated men as well as those who blindly follow them, including the young generation that is being taught by them. But the Apostle Paul warns in Romans 12:2, “... be not conformed to this world...” that is to say, don’t be fashioned, molded, shaped, by this world’s philosophy, for every time you turn on TV, read a newspaper or send your children to a secular school, both you and they are bombarded by the humanistic philosophy based on the theory that there is no God and anything goes if you can get away with it.

“Be not conformed to this world.” But humanistic philosophy on every hand is squeezing us so firmly that we are having difficulty in not being conformed to this world. It is so much easier to follow the crowd and avoid the criticism and scorn of our educated ‘superiors,’ thus receiving their approval that we find ourselves engaged in a first class battle for life or death.

Paul continues, “But be transformed by the renewing of your mind...” This is the secret ~ transformation! If the worldly ideas have entered into your mind, shaping your thinking, we strongly encourage you to start now the process of letting God transform you; from the inside out, just as the caterpillar climbs higher where the caterpillar life dies as he is transformed into an airborne butterfly. Rid yourself of every humanistic philosophy from every corner of your mind and let the indwelling spirit of God take over every part of your intellect and life, saturating it with the truth of the living and powerful Word of God.

We can be sure that in the end Satan will not triumph. He will be defeated, imprisoned and finally destroyed (Rev. 20:1-3. 10; Heb. 2:14). The combined forces of darkness will not succeed. God will accomplish all His purposes, and one day, when His King is reigning, “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” ~ “And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear (obey) that Prophet (Jesus), shall be destroyed from among the people” (Phil. 2:10 11; Acts 3:21).

Our King is marching on!
