ʻE HOKO ʻO ʻILOʻI ʻA E “ʻILO”
3. Ko e hā naʻe hoko ki he “ʻilo” ʻi he hili ʻa e mate ʻa e kau ʻapositoló?

(1 Tīm. 4:1) Ko e kakaí fakalūkufua naʻa nau taʻeʻilo fakalaumālie ai pē. Ko e ngaahi tokāteline ʻo e tafoki ʻo fakafepaki ki he moʻoní ʻoku kau ai ʻa e akonaki loi ko e ʻOtuá ko ha Tolu-Tahaʻi-ʻOtua, ko e moʻuí ʻoku ʻikai mate, pea ko e ngaahi moʻui ʻe niʻihi ʻoku fakamamahiʻi taʻengata ʻi he afi ʻo heli.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē kamata ha kulupu ʻo e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he 1870 tupú ke fekumi ki he “ʻilo”?
4 Kae kehe, ʻi he 1870 tupú—ʻi he hongofuluʻi taʻu ʻe fā nai ki muʻa ke kamata ʻa e “ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí”—naʻe fakatahataha fakataha ai ha kiʻi kulupu ʻo e kau Kalisitiane loto-moʻoni ʻi Pennsylvania, U.S.A., ke ako fakamākukanga ʻa e Tohi Tapú pea ke fekumi ki he “ʻilo.” (2 Tīm. 3:1) Naʻa nau ui kinautolu ko e Kau Ako Tohi Tapu. Ko e faʻahingá ni naʻe ʻikai ko e ‘kau poto mo e kau ʻatamaiʻia’ ia naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻe fufū mei ai ʻa e ʻiló. (Māt. 11:25) Ko e kakai fakatōkilalo kinautolu ia naʻa nau holi loto-moʻoni ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI hono fai fakalelei pea ʻi he faʻa lotu, naʻa nau lau, tālangaʻi, mo fakalaulauloto ki he Folofolá. Naʻa nau toe fakahoa ʻa e ngaahi konga tohi Fakatohitapú pea sivisiviʻi ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻa e niʻihi kehe kuo nau fai ha fekumi peheé. Faifai atu pē, naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻe he Kau Ako Tohi Tapu ko ení ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni kuo ʻuliʻulilātai ʻi he laui senituli.
5. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo e holongā tuleki naʻe ui ko e The Old Theology?
5 Neongo naʻe fiefia ʻa e Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau akó, naʻe ʻikai ke nau fakaʻatā ʻenau ʻilo foʻoú ke nau fakafuofuolahi ai ʻi he hīkisia; pe taku ha lelei kia kinautolu ʻi hono talaki ha meʻa foʻou. (1 Kol. 8:1) ʻI hono kehé, naʻa nau pulusi ha holongā tuleki naʻe ui The Old Theology. Ko e taumuʻá ke fakataukeiʻi ʻa e kau lautohí mo e ngaahi moʻoni Fakatohitapu kuo hiki ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Ko e ʻuluaki ʻi he ngaahi tuleki peheé naʻá ne ʻoatu “ha meʻa lahi ange ke lau ke tokoni ʻi he ako Tohi Tapú, fakataha mo ha vakai ke toʻo atu ʻa e ngaahi talatukufakaholo hala kotoa pē ʻa e tangatá pea ke fakaake kakato ʻa e teolosia motuʻa ʻa hotau ʻEikí mo e kau ʻapositoló.”—The Old Theology, Fika 1, ʻEpeleli 1889, p. 32.

Ko e ngaahi moʻoni fakafiefia mo fakatauʻatāina ia ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e ʻuhinga ki heʻetau moʻuí pea fakafonu kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e fiefia mo e ʻamanaki. ʻOku nau tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova—ʻa ʻene ʻulungaanga ʻofá mo ʻene ngaahi taumuʻá. ʻOku nau toe fakamahinoʻi mai ʻa e ngafa ʻo Sīsuú, fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻá ne moʻui ai pea maté, pea fakahaaʻi mai ʻene meʻa ʻoku fai he taimi ní. ʻOku fakaeʻa mai ʻe he ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga ko ení ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku fakaʻatā ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e koví, ʻuhinga ʻoku tau mate aí, founga ʻoku totonu ke tau lotu aí, pea mo e founga ʻe lava ke tau fiefia moʻoni aí.

(Tan. 12:9) ʻOku kau heni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he kotoa ʻo e Folofolá, tautefito ki he ngaahi Kōsipelí mo e tohi ʻa Fakahaá. Kuo aʻu ʻo tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai lava ke tau sioʻaki hotau matá—ʻa e fakanofo tuʻi ʻo Sīsuú, ko e tau ʻi hēvaní, mo e lī hifo ʻo Sētane ki māmaní. (Fkh. 12:7-12) Kuo toe foaki mai ʻe Sihova ha vavanga ki he ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻa ʻoku tau lava ke sio ki aí—ko e ngaahi tau, ngaahi mofuike, ngaahi mahaki fakaʻauha, ngaahi nounou fakameʻatokoni, pea pehē ki he kakai taʻefakaʻotua ʻoku nau tokoni ki he “ngaahi taimi fakalilifu ʻa ia ʻe faingataʻa ke fekuki mo ia” ko ení.—2 Tīm. 3:1-5; Luke 21:10, 11.

Pea he houngaʻia ē ko kitautolu he ko e “tokoní,” ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá, kuo fekauʻi mai ia ke tataki ʻa e kau muimui ʻo Sīsuú “ki he kotoa ʻo e moʻoní”! (Lau ʻa e Sione 16:7, 13.) ʻOfa ke tau koloaʻaki maʻu pē ʻa e “ʻilo” moʻoní pea vahevahe taʻesiokita atu ia ki he niʻihi kehé!

10 Ko e ui ko ení naʻe hā mei ai naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ko e ngāue mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí.
