Kodi anthu amene amati ndi Akhristu ali ndi zifukwa zapadera zopezera zakudya zochokera ku zomera? Choyamba, pali zifukwa zinayi: kudera nkhaŵa chilengedwe, kudera nkhaŵa nyama, kudera nkhaŵa moyo wa anthu, ndi kufunitsitsa kukhala ndi moyo wathanzi. Kuonjezera apo, Akristu angatsogoleredwe ndi mwambo wakale wachipembedzo wakusadya nyama ndi nyama zina pamene akusala kudya.
Tiyeni tione zifukwa zimenezi motsatizana. Tiyeni tiyambe ndi funso lofunika kwambiri: chifukwa chiyani kumvetsetsa kwachikhristu za Mulungu ndi dziko lapansi kungapereke chilimbikitso chapadera pa moyo wa zomera.
Akristu amakhulupirira kuti chilichonse m’chilengedwe chilipo chifukwa cha Mulungu. Mulungu wa Akhristu si Mulungu wawo chabe, kapenanso Mulungu wa anthu onse, koma Mulungu wa zolengedwa zonse. Malemba a m’Baibulo amalemekeza Mulungu amene analenga zolengedwa zonse ndi kuzinena zabwino (Genesis 1); amene analenga dziko lapansi kumene cholengedwa chirichonse chiri ndi malo ake ( Salmo 104 ); amene achitira chifundo chamoyo chilichonse, nachisamalira ( Salmo 145 ); amene, mwa umunthu wa Yesu Kristu, amachitapo kanthu kumasula zolengedwa zake zonse ku ukapolo (Aroma 8) ndi kugwirizanitsa zonse zapadziko lapansi ndi zakumwamba (Akolose 1:20; Aefeso 1:10). Yesu anatonthoza otsatira ake powakumbutsa kuti palibe mbalame imene Mulungu amaiwala (Luka 12:6). Yohane akuti Mwana wa Mulungu anabwera padziko lapansi chifukwa cha chikondi cha Mulungu pa dziko lapansi (Yohane 3:16). Kuyamikiridwa ndi chisamaliro cha Mulungu pa zolengedwa zonse kumatanthauza kuti Akristu ali ndi chifukwa chochitira nazo chidwi ndi kuzisamalira, makamaka popeza kuti anthu amaitanidwa kukhala chifaniziro ndi chifaniziro cha Mulungu. Masomphenya amene dziko lonse lapansi, monga momwe wolemba ndakatulo Gerard Manley Hopkins ananenera, akuimbidwa mlandu wa ukulu wa Mulungu, ndi mbali yofunika kwambiri ya kawonedwe ka dziko ka Chikhristu.
Chotero, Akristu amazindikira chilengedwe chonse ndi zonse zimene zili mmenemo kukhala za Mulungu, zokondedwa ndi Mulungu, ndi zotetezedwa ndi Mulungu. Kodi zimenezi zingakhudze bwanji kadyedwe kawo? Tiyeni tibwerere ku zifukwa zisanu zimene tazitchula pamwambapa.
Choyamba, Akristu angasinthe n’kuyamba kudya zakudya zopanda nyama kuti asamalire chilengedwe cha Mulungu, chilengedwe. Kutulutsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa ziweto ndizomwe zimayambitsa ngozi yomwe dziko lathu lakhala likukumana nalo m'zaka zaposachedwa. Kuchepetsa kudya kwa nyama ndi imodzi mwa njira zofulumira kwambiri zochepetsera mpweya wathu. Kuweta ziweto m’mafakitale kumayambitsanso mavuto a zachilengedwe m’deralo. Mwachitsanzo, n’zosatheka kukhala pafupi ndi mafamu akuluakulu a nkhumba kumene zinyalala zimatayidwa m’ngalande, koma kaŵirikaŵiri zimayikidwa pafupi ndi madera osauka, zimene zimachititsa moyo kukhala wachisoni.
Chachiwiri, Akhristu atha kukhala osadya nyama kuti athandize anthu ena kuchita bwino ndi kutamanda Mulungu mwanjira yawoyawo. Zinyama zambiri zimakulira m'mafakitale omwe amawavutitsa mosafunikira. Nsomba zambiri zimabzalidwa mwapadera ndi anthu kaamba ka zosowa zawo, ndipo nsomba zogwidwa kuthengo zimafa kwa nthaŵi yaitali ndi zopweteka. Kupanga mkaka wambiri ndi mazira kumaphatikizapo kupha nyama zazimuna zomwe zatsala. Miyezo yamakono yoweta nyama kuti idyedwe ndi anthu imalepheretsa nyama zoweta komanso zakutchire kuti zisamakule bwino. Pofika m’chaka cha 2000, kuchuluka kwa nyama zoŵeta kunaposa nyama zonse zakutchire ndi ka 24. Nkhuku zoweta zimachuluka kuwirikiza katatu kuposa mbalame zonse zakutchire. Ziŵerengero zochititsa mantha zimenezi zikusonyeza kuti anthu akulamulira mphamvu ya dziko lapansi yobala m’njira yakuti palibe malo a nyama zakutchire, zimene zikuchititsa kuti pang’onopang’ono ziwonongeke.
Chachitatu, Akristu angasinthe n’kuyamba kudya zakudya zopanda thanzi n’cholinga choti apulumutse anthu. Makampani oweta ziweto akuwopseza chitetezo cha chakudya ndi madzi, ndipo omwe akuvutika kale ali pachiwopsezo. Pakali pano, zoposa gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a phala lopangidwa padziko lonse lapansi limapita kukadyetsa ziweto zapafamu, ndipo anthu omwe amadya nyama amangopeza 8% yokha ya zopatsa mphamvu zomwe zikanakhalapo ngati adya chimanga m'malo mwake. Ziweto zimadyanso madzi ambiri padziko lapansi: zimatengera madzi ochulukirapo ka 1-10 kuti apange 20 kg ya ng'ombe kuposa kupanga zopatsa mphamvu zomwezo kuchokera kumasamba. Zoonadi, zakudya zamagulu anyama sizothandiza m'madera onse a dziko lapansi (mwachitsanzo, osati kwa abusa a ku Siberia omwe amadalira ng'ombe zamphongo), koma n'zoonekeratu kuti anthu, nyama ndi chilengedwe zidzapindula posintha zakudya zochokera ku zomera. kulikonse kumene kuli kotheka.
Chachinayi, Akristu angatsatire zakudya zopanda thanzi kuti asunge thanzi ndi moyo wa mabanja awo, mabwenzi, anansi awo, ndi chitaganya chawo chonse. Kudya nyama ndi nyama zina zomwe sizinachitikepo m'mayiko otukuka zimawononga kwambiri thanzi la anthu, chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa matenda amtima, sitiroko, mtundu wachiwiri wa shuga ndi khansa. Kuphatikiza apo, kulima kwambiri kumathandizira kukula kwa mabakiteriya osamva maantibayotiki komanso chiopsezo cha miliri kuchokera ku matenda a zoonotic monga nkhumba ndi chimfine cha mbalame.
Pomaliza, Akhristu ambiri akhoza kulimbikitsidwa ndi miyambo yakale yachikhristu yopewa nyama ndi nyama zina Lachisanu, nthawi ya Lenti komanso nthawi zina. Mchitidwe wokana kudya nyama ungaonedwe monga mbali ya kulapa, kumene kumapangitsa kuti anthu asamaganize zongosangalatsa Mulungu. Miyambo yoteroyo imakumbutsa Akristu zopereŵera zimene zimadza chifukwa chozindikira kuti Mulungu ndiye mlengi: nyama ndi za Mulungu, choncho anthu ayenera kuzilemekeza ndipo sangachite nazo chilichonse chimene akufuna.
Akhristu ena amapeza mikangano yotsutsana ndi zamasamba ndi zamasamba, ndipo mkangano pamutuwu umatseguka nthawi zonse. Genesis 1 amatchula anthu ngati mafano apadera a Mulungu ndipo amawapatsa ulamuliro pa zinyama zina, koma anthu amapatsidwa chakudya chamagulu kumapeto kwa mutuwo, kotero ulamuliro woyambirira suphatikiza chilolezo chopha nyama kuti tidye. Mu Genesis 9, pambuyo pa Chigumula, Mulungu amalola anthu kupha nyama kuti adye, koma izi sizilungamitsa makonzedwe amakono oweta zinyama m’machitidwe a mafakitale m’njira zimene mwachiwonekere ziri zowononga kwambiri kwa anthu, zinyama, ndi chilengedwe. Mauthenga a Uthenga Wabwino amanena kuti Yesu anadya nsomba ndi kupereka nsomba kwa ena (ngakhale, chochititsa chidwi, sanadye nyama ndi nkhuku), koma izi sizikutanthauza kudya nyama zamakono mafakitale.
Ndikofunikira kudziwa kuti zamasamba m'Chikhristu siziyenera kuwonedwa ngati utopia wamakhalidwe. Akristu amazindikira kusiyana kwa unansi wathu ndi anthu ena kumene sikungatsekedwe mwa kutsatira mchitidwe wakutiwakuti wa kadyedwe kapena kuyesetsa kwina kulikonse. Akhristu odyetsera nyama sayenera kudzinenera kukhala apamwamba: ndi ochimwa monga wina aliyense. Amangoyesetsa kuchita zinthu mwanzeru monga momwe angathere posankha zakudya. Ayenera kufunafuna kuphunzira kuchokera kwa akhristu ena momwe angachitire bwino m'mbali zina za moyo wawo, ndipo angapatsire zokumana nazo zawo kwa Akhristu ena.
Kusamalira anthu, nyama, ndi chilengedwe ndi thayo kwa Akristu, chotero chiyambukiro cha zoweta zamakono za m’mafakitale ziyenera kukhala zodetsa nkhaŵa kwa iwo. Masomphenya achikristu ndi kusiririka kwawo kwa dziko la Mulungu, kukhala kwawo mwachidwi pakati pa anzawo amene Mulungu amawakonda, kudzatumikira monga chisonkhezero kwa ambiri kuti ayambe kudya zakudya zopanda thanzi kapena kuchepetsa kudya nyama.
