Teraa Koauan te 'Trinity'

Te ‘Trinity Doctrine’

Te koaua are e nangi butimaeaki irouiia Kiritian bon te koaua are te Atua bon teniman, ke, te Trinity – Te Atua n teniman rabatana – te Tama (Father), te Nati (Son) ao te Tamnei ae Raoiroi - ae Tabu (Holy Spirit – are e aki toki n aranaki naba bwa te HolyGhost).

E kangaara n rin te Trinity Doctrine aio n aia koaua moan Kiritian (traditional Christianity)?

Ti na kamatoaa ikai bwa e bon aki roko te koaua aio man te B’aibara. E a tia n taekinaki ikai bwa botanaomata ni kabaneia a bon bane ni mamanaaki iroun Tatan te riaboroo (Kaotioti 12:9, Kiribati Protestant Bible,KPB). E kangaara, ngkanne, Tatan n karinna (introduce) te koaua aio n te aro n “Kiritian”?

E kakaongoraa rongorongon te titiraki aei. E bon nangi kamiimii bwa Tatan e aki ti mamanaa (deceive) te aonaaba ni kabuta, ma e mamanaa naba te aro n “Kiritian” – te aro are e uota aran Kristo ao are ngkoa bon te aro ni koaua. Eng, e bon karaoa aei Tatan!

E karaoia rinanon ana ekaretia ae kewe (false church), ae moan tei n A.D. 33 iroun Timon te tia tabunea (Simon te Sorcerer), ae taekinaki n Makuri mwakoro 8. Teuaei bon atuun te aro are Babiron ae raba nanona (Babylon te mystery religion) i aon Tamaria.

E kangaara n tei aia aro ni beekan aio i Tamaria? Bwa bon tiaki kawaan Iteraera ngkoa te kawa aei?

E koreaki n te boki ae 2 Uea 17:23-24 bwa Tiaremaneta (Shalmaneser), uean Atiiria (Assyria), e buakana te abanuea are i meang (northern kingdom) – ae Iteraera – ao e kamwaingiia nako kaaina -(kaain Iteraera) man te kaawa ae Tamaria, ao e karokoia ana botanaomata mai Babiron ao e kamaekaiia iaon Tamaria. Te botanaomata aio bon kaain te aro ae raba nanona mai Babiron. Bon tiantaire ngaiia. A maekana te tabo are i meangin Baretaina (Palestine) n ana tai Iesu. Kaain Iutaia (Jews of Judea) n ana tai Kristo a bon aki kan karekerekeiia ma aomata aikai, ao a weteiia bwa kamea (dogs). Ma, tiantaire aikai a bon kateimatoaa aia aro ni beekan aio ae raba nanona mai Babiron inanon te moan tienture (1^st century).

N te ririki A.D. 33, uoua te ririki imwiin katean ana Ekaretia te Atua (Church of God) n te bong ae te Bentekota (Pentecost,) iroun Iesu Kristo, ao te rikan (deacon) ae Biribo (Philip), ae e a manga riki bwa te tia nakonako n tataekina taekan te euangkerio (evangelist), e wairio nako Tamaria ao e tataekina ana euangkerio Kristo ikekei. Timon are te tia tabunea e roko naba, ibuakoia baronga n aomata, bwa e na ongora naba irouna.

Timon e a bon tia ni maamanaia kaain te aba aei, ao a iriria (followed) bwa aia tia kairiiri n aia aro ae raba nanona mai Babiron “ao a bane ni baroakinna ataei ma ikawai, ao a kangai: Teuaei, boni M’aakan te Atua” (Makuri 8:10, Kiribati Catholic Bible, KCB).

Ngke a kakoauaa rongorongon abanuean te Atua (kingdom of God) are e tataekinna Biribo nakoiia, ao a babititoaki (baptized) aomata aikai, ao Timon e bon reke naba angana ni babititoaki irarikiia.

Ao e manga roko Timon ni kawariia abotoro aika Betero ao Ioane, ao e uota te mane (money) bwa ana bwai n anainano (bribery), ao e tuangiia abootoro aikai bwa ana anganna te mwaaka ni katoka bai (laying of hands) i aoia aomata bwa e na reke naba irouiia te Tamnei ae Tabu (Holy Spirit). E bon kaota aki kukureina (rebuked him) ma te bwanaa ae matoa Betero. E ngae n anne ao Timon e manga tataekinna bwa bon ngaia naba temanna aia abotoro Kiritian (Christian apostle), ao e arana ana aro are e raba nanona mai Babiron bwa te “Aro n Kiritian” (“Christianity”). E kabonganaa te koaua (doctrine) are te akoi (grace) ibukin kabaraan buure (forgiveness of sin), ma e raira te koaua aei nakon te raitienti (license) n aki kan ongo iroun te Atua (Iuta 4). E mwakuri korakora bwa e na karika ana aro ni beekan aio, are e aana i aan te ara n Kiritian, bwa e na riki bwa te aro ae taabangaki (universal religion), bwa e aongan reke irouna te mwaaka n tautaekana te aonaaba (political rule of the world).

Timon, te “Pater”, man te aro ni kewe aio, e aki koro bukin ana iango aio n ana tai ni maiu. Ma taan kairiiri imwiina, man aia etukuata (headquarters) ae kamwaingaki nako Rom (Rome), a bon kakoroa bukin aia kan tautaekana te Embwaea n Rom (Roman Empire), ao n onea mwiina ma te “Embwaea n Rom ae Tabu” (“Holy Roman Empire”). Te embwaea aio, Holy Roman Empire, ai aoni kawaina n bobongaraoi kateana kaua iroun aban Erube (Europe) aika a kaaina te ‘European Union’ n taai aikai.

Te taeka ae ‘Trinity’ e bon aki kabonganaaki n taekan nako te B’aibara n I-Matang, ke ni koreaki irouiia taan korea bokin nako te B’aibara. E na kamatataaki aio rimwi.

Te moan tai ni iangoaki ke ni tataekinaki bwa te Atua bon Teniman e teirakeaki inanon banen te ka-2 n tienture – tebubua (100) te ririki imwiin korean angin bokin te Nu-Tetemanti. Te aro n Kiritian ae kewe (Te Kaotioti 17, KPB) are e kateirakea Timon te tia tabunea e bon teimatoa ni tataekinna te kewe aio n raonaki ma te waaki ni beekan (pagan) ae te Easter. Ma ana Ekaretia ae Koaua te Atua (True Church of God) e bon teimatoa n aki butimaea. Te kauntaeka i aon aei e a roko n korakorana are e a moanna n aki karekea te rau (peace) i aon te aonaaba.

Ma ana taan boutoko te uea Constantine a bon nangi mwaiti are a taubararaanako ana Ekaretia te Atua ae e bon uarereke ana mwaiti (Kaotioti 12, KCB).

A Karinaki Kiibu aika Kewe

Bon tii teuana te kibu man te B’aibara are a kateitei i aona naake a taua te koaua ae “teniman te Atua (Trinity). E kuneaki te kibu aio n 1 Ioane 5:7-8, n te B’aibara n I-Matang ae te Authorized Version, ao anne e rokinaki n taekan te kibu anne inano: “Ba teniman tani kakoaua,[i karawa, te Tama, te Taeka, ao te Tamnei ae Raoiroi: ao boni teniman ngaiia. Ao teniman tani kakoaua i aon te aonaaba], ba te Tamnei, te ran ao te rara, ao a boraoi aia koaua ngaia teniman" (taekana n te Kiribati Catholic Bible). Taeka aika rokinaki akanne a bon karinaki irouiia taan korea te B’aibara nakon te rairaiiri ae te Latin Vulgate n moan te ka-4 n tienture. E bon aki nooraki inanon aia koroboki kaain Kuriiti (Greek manuscripts) rimoa ao inanon B’aibara n I-Matang n taai aikai. A atiba karinaki imuin te kakauntaeka imarenan Rom ma Dr. Arius, ao ana Ekaretia te Atua.

E kabwarabwaraaki n ana komantare nako te B’aibara (Bible commentaries) bwa taeka aikai a bon aki koreaki n ana boki te abotoro Ioane, ke tao i nanon ana boki aika e a kaman korei. I nanon ana boki ake teniua (3 epistles) ao n ana boki naba ae te Kaotioti, ao te abotoro Ioane e taetae ibukin “te Tama, ao . . . te Nati” (1 Ioane 1:3, KCB), bwa e aki taneai ni kakabongana ke ni kokorea ae “te Tama ao te Taeka”, n aron are e nooraki n te kibu are e koreaki n 1 Ioane 5:7-8.

Bon iai bukina ae koaua ngkai e tangiria Tatan, te tia mamanaia aomata, bwa e na karinaki taeka ni kewe aikai, n te Latin Vulgate ao imwiina e manga reke rinna n te Authorized Version. Te koaua ae te Trinity e bon tiringnga te rongorongo ae raoiroi n ana euangkerio Iesu. Ana euangkerio Iesu bon te RONGORONGO mai iroun te Atua nakoiia aomata, te rongorongo ae raoiroi ibukin ABANUEAN TE ATUA ae ena roko (coming KINGDOM OF GOD). Anne te bwai teuana ae e tangiria Tatan bwa e na kamaunaa rongorongona. E na mataata riki inanon ara waaki.

E kamatoaaki te koaua are e aranaki te Tamnei bwa te mwaane (he) n tabeua kibun B’aibara nako. Ma tiaki n taai nako – tabetai e aranaki bwa te bwai (it) i nanon B’aibara naba aikai. Te katootoo teuna, n rongorongon moan ruon te Tamnei ae Tabu ao moan katean ana Ekaretia te Atua n te bong ae e ataaki bwa te Bentekota.

E Baronako te Tamnei ae [Tabu]

Te Tamnei ae Tabu e roko mai karawa, e kaberoro (audibly), kanga te ang ae korakora (mighty wind), “ao e kaona te auti ike a tekateka iai.” Imwiina, ao e kaoti (appeared) – E NOORAKI (WAS VISIBLY SEEN) – e karikia n rabata (manifested) – “A nori baike kanga newe (cloven tongues) ake ai aron taian ai (fire), ake a uamae nako n toka i aoia n tatabeman” (Makuri 2:2-3, Kiribati Catholic Bible). N te kibu 18 ao Betero e bon anai taeka (quote)mai iroun te burabeti/ibonga ae Ioera: “N na karuoa (pour out- taekana n B’aibara n I-Matang) . . . Tamneiu (of my Spirit).” Te Tamnei ae Tabu, n aron te ran, e kona ni “KABAROAKI” (POURED OUT). Ko konaa ni kabaroa temanna te aomata nako nanon temanna riki te aomata – tao te Atua nako nanoiia aomata ake a mena ikekei?

Ioane 7:37-39, KCB:

“N te bong are e kakananto, are kabaneani bongin te toa, ao e tei Iesu, ao e kangai n te bana ae e korakora: ‘Ngkana iai te kani moi, ao ke e nakoiu, ao ke e moi. Ba e kangai te koroboki: Ane e kakoauaai, ao a na raanga nako mai nanona karanga n ran ni kamaiu.’ Ana taeka Iesu anne, bon taekan te Tamnei, are e na anganaki akana a kakoaua Iesu. N te tai arei ao e tuai n reke te Tamnei, ba e tuai n kamimitongaaki (glorified) Iesu.”

Ao n te boki ae Makuri, “. . . a ruanaki [poured out] naba bekan (Gentiles) n te karea (gift) ae te Tamnei ae [Tabu] (Holy Spirit)” (Makuri 10:45, KCB).
