Ellen Chat Conversation

When addressing someone who has departed from the faith, the primary focus should be on maintaining a Christlike spirit rather than engaging in heated arguments or debates. It is essential to demonstrate that you are inspired by the Spirit of Jesus, as this allows heavenly messengers to provide the right words to reach the heart of the one who opposes the truth (GW 359.1). By upholding a higher standard of conduct and speech, you make it evident that Christ is speaking through you, which can be more convicting than any logical argument (9T 148.3). While it is important to be kind and avoid giving any occasion for your good to be spoken of as evil, there should be no compromise regarding the truth itself (9MR 363.2).

The goal of any interaction should be to encourage a reformation that proceeds from the inward heart to the outward life, transforming the character (EA 350.5). If the individual is actively trying to undermine the faith of others or divert attention from God's work, you must be careful not to let your own ears be turned toward fables or sophistry (LDE 92). For those who have backslidden, there is a need for faithful education and training to help them recognize the false presentations that may have led them away (Ev 367).

God often sends warnings and reproofs to those in apostasy to help them recognize their condition and lead them back to the source of their strength (CE 95.1). In all these efforts, it is vital to remain courageous, pray much, and speak words of encouragement to others, reinforcing the value of past experiences in the cause of God (MR760 20.4).

Bibiliya yigisha ko mbere y'uko Yesu agaruka, abantu benshi bazavanwa mu mwijima w'ubuyobe n'imyizerere y'ibinyoma binyuze mu kumurika k'ukuri kw'ijambo ry'Imana (CET 242). Imana ihamagarira abantu bayo kongera kugira ubuzima bw'umwuka bushya binyuze mu gusenga no kwihana ibyaha, kuko ibi ari byo bitunganya inzira y'Umwami mu mitima yacu (GW 307). Ubu bubutse bw'umwuka ni bwo butuma abantu bava mu mimerere yo gupfa mu buryo bw'umwuka bakongera kugira imbaraga (LDE 176.1).

Mu minsi y'imperuka, Imana yashyize impano y'ubuhanuzi mu itorero ryayo kugira ngo ibe ijwi rizima ryo kugira inama, gucyaha, no kwigisha abantu bayo mu gihe Satani akora n'imbaraga nyinshi (5MR 151.2). Kwemera ubu butumwa bw'ubuhanuzi ni ingenzi cyane kuko bufasha mu gutunganya abera no kunga ubumwe mu kwizera, kandi ni ikimenyetso kiranga abasigaye baziririza amategeko y'Imana (1TT 17.2). Gusobanukirwa n'uburyo ubuhanuzi busohora mu mateka bifasha abizera kumenya aho isi igeze mu ntambara ikomeye (LDE 15.2).

Hariho isezerano ry'uko hazabaho ububutse bukomeye bw'ubutungane bw'ukuri mbere y'uko imanza z'Imana zigera ku isi, aho imbaraga z'Umwuka Wera zizasukwa ku bana b'Imana (LDE 186.2). Ibi bizagaragarira mu rugendo rw'ivugurura aho abantu bazasenga cyane, bagakira indwara, kandi bagakora ibitangaza nk'uko byagenze mu gihe cya Pentekote (LDE 202.4). Kubera ko igihe gisigaye ari gito, abizera bagomba gukora cyane kurusha mbere kugira ngo bageze ukuri ku bantu bose, bityo bafashe abari mu mwijima kugaruka mu mucyo (WM 79.3).

Mwashobora kandi kwifuza kumenya ibi bikurikira:Ni iki Ellen White yigishije ku ruhare rw'Umwuka w'Ubuhanuzi mu minsi y'imperuka?Ni mu buhe buryo isengesho no kwihana biyobora ku bubutse bw'umwuka?Ni izihe nama zifatika yatanze ku bijyanye no kugera ku bantu batakaje ukwizera kwabo?
