Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
kugira ngo ubwo butegetsi bwa Leta nabwo buzakoreshwe n’itorero mu gusohoza imigambi
yaryo.
Igihe cyose itorero ryagiye rigira ubushobozi rihawe n’ubutegetsi bw’isi, ryagiye
ribukoresha kugira ngo rihane abataravugaga rumwe n’inyigisho zaryo. Amatorero
y’abaporotesitanti yageze ikirenge mu cya Roma abinyujije mu kwifatanya n’ubutegetsi
bw’isi yagaragaweho icyifuzo nk’icyo cyo kubuza abantu umudendezo wo gukurikiza
umutimanama. Urugero rwatangwa kuri iyi ngingo ni itoteza ryamaze igihe kirekire ryakozwe
n’Itorero ry’Ubwongereza ryibasiye abataremeraga inyigisho zaryo. Mu kinyejana cya cumi
na gatandatu n’icya cumi na karindwi, ibihumbi byinshi by’abavugabutumwa batabwirizaga
ibihwanye n’iby‘itorero baciwe mu matorero yabo barahunga, kandi baba abapasitoro
n’abizera benshi, bajyaga bacibwa ibihano, bagafungirwa muri gereza, abandi bakicwa
urw’agashinyaguro bazira imyizerere yabo.
Ubuhakanyi ni bwo bwateye itorero rya mbere gushaka kwitabaza ubutegetsi bwa Leta,
ritegura rityo inzira yo guteza imbere ubupapa- ari bwo nyamaswa. Intumwa Pawulo yaravuze
ati: “Aho” hazaba igihe cyo kwimura Imana, kandi urya munyabugome azahishurwa.” 617
Uko ni ko mu itorero ubuhakanyi buzategurira inzira igishushanyo cy’inyamaswa.
Bibiliya ivuga ko mbere y’uko Yesu Kristo agaruka, hazabaho gusubira inyuma mu
by’idini nk’ukwabayeho mu binyejana bya mbere. “Umenye yuko mu minsi y’imperuka
hazaza ibihe birushya. Kuko abantu bazaba bikunda, bakunda impiya, birarira, bibona
batukana batumvira ababyeyi babo, indashima, batari abera, badakunda n’ababo, batuzura,
babeshyerana, batirinda, bagira urugomo, badakunda ibyiza, bagambana, ibyigenge,
bikakaza, bakunda ibibanezeza aho gukunda Imana, bafite ishusho yo kwera, ariko bahakana
imbaraga zako.” 618 “Ariko Umwuka avuga yeruye ati: ‘Mu bihe bizaza bamwe bazagwa
bave mu byizerwa, bite ku myuka iyobya n’inyigisho z’abadayimoni.” 619 Satani azakoresha
“imbaraga zose n’ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza by’ibinyoma, n’ubuhenzi bwose bwo
gukiranirwa.” Kandi abantu bose “banze gukunda ukuri ngo bakizwe,” bazarekwa ngo bemere
“ubushukanyi bukomeye cyane ngo bizere ibinyoma.” 620 Igihe uru rwego rwo gukiranirwa
ruzaba rumaze kugerwaho, ingaruka nk’izabaye mu binyejana bya mbere zizakurikiraho.
Abantu benshi bafata ko imyizerere y’amaharakwinshi irangwa mu matorero
y’Abaporotesitanti ari igihamya kidasubirwaho cy’uko nta mbaraga zakoreshwa ngo higere
habaho guhuza mu myizerere. Ariko mu myaka myinshi yashize mu matorero
y’Abaporotesitanti hagiye habaho igitekerezo gikomeye kandi cyagendaga gikura cy’uko
habaho ubumwe bushingiye ku ngingo zimwe z’imyizerere ahuriyeho. Kugira ngo ubwo
bumwe bugerweho, impaka zerekeye inyigisho zimwe batemeranyaho, uko byagenda kose
zigomba kurekwa -uko mu buryo bukomeye bwose zaba zishingiye ku byo Bibiliya ivuga.
Uwitwa Charles Beecher mu kibwirizwa cye cyo mu mwaka wa 1846, yaravuze ati:
“Abayobozi bo mu matorero y’ivugabutumwa y’Abaporotesitanti ntibashyirwaho mu rwego
rw’igitugu gikaze gishingiye ku kubahisha umuntu gusa, ahubwo uko babaho, uko bagenda
