MUNGU NDIYE MWEMA. JE, YESU NI MWEMA?
Leo nitajibu HOJA ya Waislam ya Mungu Ndiye
Mwema.
Waumini wa dini ya Kiislam katika Mihadhara mbalimbali ya kidni wamekuwa na tabia ya kutumia aya 18-19 iliyopo katika Luka Sura ya 18, inayo sema Mungu Ndiye Mwema. Waislam wanadai kuwa, katika aya hii, Yesu amekana kuwa yeye si "MWEMA" na kuwa Mungu Pekee ni Mwema, hivyobasi, kukana kwa Yesu kuwa yeye si Mwema kunapinga Madai ya Wakristo kuwa Yesu ni Mungu.
Kwa hivyo utaona kuwa wahadhiri
hao wa Dini ya Uislamu hufundisha jamii kwa kutumia Qurani na Biblia na kusema kuwa eti Yesu amekana kuwa yeye si MWEMA. Fundisho hili la "MUNGU PEKEE NDIYE MWEMA" wanalieneza kwa kupitia Mitandao mbalimbali kama ya Radio, Vijarida, Mihadhara, vitabu na Kanda (cassettes) za Video na Audio. Na
hivyo kuwafanya baadhi ya Wakristo kuacha Imani yao na kuingia katika Dini ya
Uislamu. Na baadhi ya Wakristo wengine ingawa hawajabadili dini wanaamini
hivyo. Swali la muhimu la kujiuliza kwa kila Mkristo, je, ni kweli Yesu alikana kuwa yeye si MWEMA? Nakusihi fuatilia somo hili kwa makini ili kujua Ukweli wa aya hii:
Luka 18.18-19 "Tena mtu mkubwa mmoja
alimuuliza Yesu, akisema, Mwalimu Mwema, nifanye nini ili kuuruthi uzima wa milele?
Yesu akamwambia mbona unaniita Mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema ila mmoja, Naye ndiye
Mungu".
Ukitazama kwa haraka haraka namna wahadhiri hao wa Dini ya Uislamu wanavyoifunda hii aya ya Biblia unaweza ukashawishika kuamini hicho wanachokifundisha, lakini ni vyema tukajifundisha kwa undani kadiri majibu ya Yesu kuwa "Mungu Pekee Ndiye Mwema" kisha tuone kama kuna ukweli juu ya hayo mafundisho yao, ya kusema kuwa Yesu kakataa kuwa yeye si Mwema na hivyo kunamfanya kuwa yeye si Mungu.

Haya tuanze utafiti wetu.
Katika hii aya hapo juu, je, Yesu katoa jibu au kauliza swali? Hapa tunaona aya
zinatufundisha waziwazi kuwa Yesu aliuliza swali na si kukana kuwa yeye si Mwema.
NUKUU: Yesu akamwambia Mbona waniita Mwema? Hapa Yesu kamuuliza swali, Yule mtu aliye muita “MWALIMU MWEMA” na si kukana kuwa yeye si “MWEMA" kama wanavyo fundisha Wahadhiri wa dini ya Kiislam katika Mihadhara yao ya kidini.
Baada ya Yule mtu kushindwa kujibu kwanini alimwita Yesu "Mwalimu Mwema". Yesu akasema yafuatayo:
NUKUU: Yesu akamwambia Mbona waniita Mwema? Hapa Yesu kamuuliza swali, Yule mtu aliye muita “MWALIMU MWEMA” na si kukana kuwa yeye si “MWEMA" kama wanavyo fundisha Wahadhiri wa dini ya Kiislam katika Mihadhara yao ya kidini.
Baada ya Yule mtu kushindwa kujibu kwanini alimwita Yesu "Mwalimu Mwema". Yesu akasema yafuatayo:
Hakuna aliye Mwema ila mmoja, Naye ni Mungu. Je, Yesu alipo sema haya maneno alikana kuwa yeye si Mungu?
WAISLAM WANAKUBALI KUWA ALIYE MWEMA NI MUNGU TU.
Je, kuna sehemu yeyote ile katika Biblia ambayo Yesu anajiita yeye Mwema. Sasa tumsome Yesu katika Injili ya Yohana 10:14
Yesu anasema yafuatayo:
"14 Mimi ni Mchungaji MWEMA: ninawafahamu Kondoo wangu nao wananifahamu"
KATIKA YOHANA YESU ANAJIITA MWEMA.
Sasa basi, kufuatana na Waislam kukubali kwao kuwa "MUNGU PEKEE NDIE MWEMA" na Yesu kujiita Mwema katika Injili ya Yohana 10:14. Leo hii Yesu amewajibu Wahadhiri wa dini ya Kiislamu kuwa yeye ni Mwema na hivyo hii adhama ya Mwema inamfaya kuwa yeye ni Mungu, kutokana na Luka 18: 18-19. "Mungu Pekee ni Mwema".
Ni matumaini yangu kuwa leo hii umeweza kujua kwa undani maana ya "Mungu Pekee Ndiye Mwema" na Yesu alipo sema hayo alikuwa anamfahamisha yule kijana kuwa yeye ni Mungu na yule kijana hakukosea alipo muita MWALIMU MWEMA.

JE MUNGU WA WAISLAMU (ALLAH S.W) NA MUNGU WA WAKRISTO (YEHOVA) NI MMOJA?
UTANGULIZI
Imekuwa ni kawaida sasa kwa
miaka zaidi ya ishirini hivi, kusikia katika mihadhara inayoendeshwa na
wahadhiri wa dini ya Uislamu, ambayo imeenea sehemu mbalimbali Duniani na haswa
katika nchi za Africa Mashariki na Kati,(East and Central Africa). Wahadhiri
hao hufundisha jamii kupitia Qurani na Biblia kwa kusema kuwa Mungu ni Mmoja
tu. Wasema Mungu kwa Kiebrania anaitwa Yehova , kwa Kiarabu Allah, kwa
Kiingereza God na kwa Kiswahili ni Mungu. Kwa hivyo wasema Mungu Allah kama
Qurani inavyofundisha, ndiye Yehova kama Biblia inavyofundisha. Mihadhara hiyo
inayoendeshwa na Waislamu imeenea sana, mfano Nchini Tanzania kuna vikundi
vingi na kimoja wapo kinaitwa Al-Marid International Propagation Center. Hawa
wameandika katika bango lao kwa kunukuu katika Biblia maneno aliyoandika Mtume
Paulo katika Waefeso 4:4-6. Maneno waliyoyanukuu yanasema hivi “Bwana mmoja ,
Imani moja ….., Mungu mmoja , naye ni Baba wa wote, aliye juu ya yote.
Nilipotembelea mkoa wa Morogoro pale mjini, eneo la kiwanja cha ndege nikaona
Msikiti mmoja umeandikwa maneno haya ya Waefeso 4:4-6. Na nilipotembelea mji wa
Nairobi Nchini Kenya pia nikaona kuna vikundi vingi vinavyoendesha mihadhara na
kikundi kimoja wapo kinaitwa Kibera Islamic Propagation Centre. Hawa nao katika
bango lao wameandika ujumbe unaosema hivi “Acha Biblia Ijisemee na kunukuu
injili aya hii” Yohana 8:32 Tena mtaifahamu kweli nayo hiyo kweli itawaweka
huru.
Kwa hivyo utaona kuwa
wahadhiri hao wa Dini ya Uislamu hufundisha jamii kwa kutumia Qurani na Biblia
na kusema Allah Sub-Hana Wataala ndiye YEHOVA. Fundisho hili wanalieneza kwa
kupitia Radio, Vijarida, Mihadhara, vitabu na Kanda (cassettes) za Video na
Audio. Na hivyo kuwafanya baadhi ya Wakristo kuacha Imani yao na kuingia katika
Dini ya Uislamu. Na baadhi ya Wakristo wengine ingawa hawajabadili dini
wanaamini hivyo. Swali la muhimu la kujiuliza kwa kila mkristo, je, ni kweli
Mungu Allah kama inavyotuhadithia Qurani ndiye Yehova kama Biblia
inavyotufundisha? Nakusihi fuatilia somo hili kwa makini ili kujua Ukweli……
SEHEMU KUU ZA SOMO HILI NI
HIZI……
1. Hoja za waislamu kusema
Allah ndiye Yehova.
2. Je, jina la Mungu kadiri
ya Qurani na Biblia ni moja?
3. Je, Malaika mkuu wa
Allah ndiye wa Yehova?
4. Je, ni nani muumba,Allah
au Yehova?
5. Mji aliochagua Allah je,
ni sawa na wa Yehova?
6. Allah anavyofundisha
kuhusu kujitakasa nafsi je, ni sawa na Yehova?
7. Je, mbingu ya Yehova ni
sawa na ya Allah?
8. Mwisho wa wanaomwabudu
Allah ni wapi?
1. Hoja za waislamu kusema
Allah ndiye Yehova
Wahadhiri wa Dini ya
Uislamu wanasema Mungu Allah ndiye Yehova kwa sababu Manabii wa Mungu kadiri ya
Biblia na Qurani walifundisha kwa kusema Mungu ni mmoja tu. Na wanasoma aya
hizi…
Nabii Musa alivyosema
Kumbukumbu la Torati 6:4
Sikiza ee Israeli; BWANA
Mungu wetu BWANA ndiye mmoja.
Nabii Isaya alisema hivi
Isaya 45:18,21
Maana BWANA , aliyeumba
mbingu, asema hivi, yeye ni Mungu ,ndiye aliyeumba Dunia na kuifanya ….. si
mimi BWANA? Wala hapana Mungu zaidi ya mimi. Mungu mwenye haki , mwokozi hapana
mwingine zaidi ya mimi.
Nabii Daudi Alisema
Zaburi 86:10
Kwa kuwa ndiwe uliye mkuu,
wewe ndiwe mfanya miujiza , ndiwe Mungu peke yako.

God’s Love
Bible verses that describe God’s love for us are some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this list of inspirational quotes showing just how much God loves you.

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God
Romans 8:37-39
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If You Love Me, Obey My Commandments
John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
At first glance, this doesn’t appear to be worthy of being on anyone’s top 10 list of Bible verses on love, but wait…let me explain why I chose this one. We display our love for others when they ask us to do something and we do it willingly because we love them. If we truly love Jesus, why wouldn’t we want to please Him by obeying what He has told us to do? Obedience is preferred over sacrifice (1 Sam 15:22). Samuel asks a rhetorical question in this verse: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” God would rather have a person obey Him than to offer many or costly sacrifices because obedience shows respect and love for the one to whom it is given.
Bible Verses About Love for Marriage or Weddings
Second Coming of Jesus
"The sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Matthew 24:29-31
A man and his 10-year-old daughter, both very good swimmers, entered the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean for an afternoon swim. When they were some distance from the shore they became separated. The father realized they were being carried out to sea by the riptide. He frantically called out to his daughter: "Stephanie, I am going to shore for help. If you get tired, turn on your back! You can float all day on your back. I'll come back for you. I promise!
Before long many searchers in boats were desperately scurrying over the surface of the water hunting for one small girl, while hundreds of people to whom the news had spread waited anxiously on shore. It was four long tedious hours before they finally found her, far from land. She was calmly floating on her back and not at all frightened. Cheers and tears of joy greeted the rescuers with their precious cargo as they came to land. The girl jumped out of the boat and ran into the waiting arms of her father and said, "I wasn't scared Daddy. You said you would come for me, and that I could float all day, so I just swam and floated as I waited for you to come get me."
Just like this little girl's Dad, Jesus will never disappoint you. He fulfills all the promises he has ever made. One of those promises is that he will return to earth and take those of us who believe in him to be forever in heaven.
1. Is the Second Coming of Jesus just a fairy tale?Remember the childhood stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, Beauty & The Beast, and others? Did you ever imagine yourself as the heroine or hero in those stories? As children, it was fun to fantasize about being grown up in a world where people live "happily ever after". Since our childhoods, the realities of life produced more unhappy endings than happy ones. The good news is there's a day coming when a fairy tale happy ending will be a reality for us. Jesus is our hero! Our Knight in Shining Armor! Our Bridegroom! He will return some day for us his bride and we will "live happily ever after" with the Lord.

Nature & Attributes of God Chart Sample
The Nature & Attributes of God Chart displays 84 of God’s everlasting qualities.
Each of the eighty-four words on the chart represent an average of sixteen other divine qualities. The Nature and Attributes of God Book includes more than a thousand alternates to choose from. All of the words on the Chart are the same size since all of God’s qualities are balanced in perfect harmony, something only He could achieve. We may have difficulty seeing Him as Mysterious and also Approachable, as both Transcendent andIntimate, but when we grow to know Him better we can glimpse a bit of these possibilities. His Oneness is even able to meld such all-encompassing attributes as Omnipotence, Omnipresence, and Omniscience with an invitingly loving nature.
Most humans believe in God. And we can agree on most of these qualities as appropriate descriptors of God’s Nature and Attributes. But your relationship with God is unique and how you perceive this Profound Being is molded by your personal experiences and insightful faith.
God's Attributes Observable in Nature
Theme: The doctrine of Natural Revelation teaches that much of what can be known about God, though incomplete without Special Revelation (Christ incarnate and the Word of God) can be observed through nature and conscience. The classic text on this subject is Romans 1:20: “For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.”. But there are actually many references demonstrating that essentially all of God’s attributes can be discerned in creation. Take a look!

ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
Discover God’s Attributes
Many Reformed theologians
distinguish between the communicable attributes (those that
human beings can also have) and the incommunicable attributes
(those that belong to God alone). Many of these attributes only say what God is not -
for example, saying he is immutable is saying that he does not change. The
attributes of God may be classified under two main categories:
1.
His infinite powers.
2.
His personality attributes, like holiness and love.
Because God is a personal Spirit…
I will seek intimate fellowship with Him.
“I reach out for You. I thirst for You as parched land thirsts for rain.” (Psalm 143.6)
“I reach out for You. I thirst for You as parched land thirsts for rain.” (Psalm 143.6)
Because God is all-powerful…
He can help me with anything.
“O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power. Nothing is too hard for You!” (Jeremiah 32:17)
“O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power. Nothing is too hard for You!” (Jeremiah 32:17)
- God has the power to create anything from nothing (Ps. 33:6-9)
- God has power to deliver (Exod. 13:3)
- God’s creative power is beyond our comprehension (Job 38:1-11)
- God speaks and things happen (Ps. 29:3-9)
- His resurrection power is immeasurably great (Eph. 1:19-20)
- His creation reflects His power (Ps. 19:1-4)
- His powerful word sustains everything (Heb. 1:3)
- He has power over death (Rev. 1:18)
- No one can challenge what God does (Dan. 4:35)
- Reveals Himself as the almighty God (Gen. 17:1)
- OmnipotenceThe omnipotence of God refers to him being "all powerful". This is often conveyed with the phrase "Almighty", as in the Old Testament title "God Almighty" (the conventional translation of the Hebrew title El Shaddai) and the title "God the Father Almighty" in the Apostles' Creed.Jesus says in Matthew 19:26, "with God all things are possible". C. S. Lewis clarifies this concept: "His Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to his power."[31]
Because God is ever-present…
He is always with me.
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You. , (Psalms 139:7-12)
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You. , (Psalms 139:7-12)
- all creation is dependent upon His presence (Col. 1:17)
- God’s continual presence brings contentment (Heb. 13:5)
- God is everywhere and no one can escape Him (Ps. 139:7-12)
- no task is too large or too difficult for Him (Jer. 32:17, 27)
- One cannot hide from God (Jer. 23:23-24)
- OmnipresenceThe omnipresence of God refers to him being present everywhere. Berkhof distinguishes between God's immensity and his omnipresence, saying that the former "points to the fact that God transcends all space and is not subject to its limitations," emphasising his transcendence, while the latter denotes that God "fills every part of space with His entire Being," emphasising his immanence.[32] In Psalm 139, David says, "If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there" (Psalm 139:8, NIV).
Because God knows everything…
I will go to Him with all my questions and concerns.
“He determines the course of world events; He removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.” (Daniel 2:21)
“He determines the course of world events; He removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.” (Daniel 2:21)
Omniscience
The omniscience of God refers to him being
"all knowing". Berkhof regards the wisdom of
God as a "particular aspect of his knowledge."[33] Romans 16:27
speaks about the "only wise God".
Because God is sovereign…
I will joyfully submit to His will.
“All the people of the earth are nothing compared to Him. He has the power to do as He pleases among the angels of heaven and with those who live on earth. No one can stop Him or challenge Him, saying, ‘What do You mean by doing these things?”‘ (Daniel 4:35)
“All the people of the earth are nothing compared to Him. He has the power to do as He pleases among the angels of heaven and with those who live on earth. No one can stop Him or challenge Him, saying, ‘What do You mean by doing these things?”‘ (Daniel 4:35)
- God controls time and seasons (Dan. 2:21)
- God powerfully delivered His people from Egypt (Exod. 12:29-32; 13:13-31)
- God has dominion over the affairs of people (Job 12:13-25)
- God controls nature for His purposes (Job 37:2-13)
- God chose His people to become like Christ (Rom. 8:28-30)
- God chose His people before He made the world (Eph. 1:4)
- God’s eternal purpose is to make His wisdom known (Eph. 3:10-11)
- He raises and removes rulers (Dan. 2:21)
- He has a plan for His people and will carry it out (Eph. 1:5, 11)

- Relationship with God requires worship (John 4:24)
- God has dominion over the affairs of people (Job 12.13-25)
- God controls nature for His purposes (Job 37:2-13)
- God chose His people to become like Christ (Rom. 8:28-30)
- God chose His people before He made the world (Eph. 1:4)
- God’s eternal purpose is to make His wisdom known (Eph. 3:10-11)
- He raises and removes rulers (Dan. 2:21)
- He has a plan for His people and will carry it out (Eph. 1:5, 11)
- He chose His people to save and purify them (2 Thess. 2:13)
- He is the only Sovereign (1 Tim. 1:17; 6:15)
Because God is holy…
