“Ke’n kong genin ah: Nang pen suangneu a cihnopna Peter na hihi. Hih suangpi tungah ka pawlpi ka lam ding a, sihna nangawnin zozo ngei loding hi” (Matt. 16:18).

Pawlpi ihzatciang in, kipawlna khatpeuhpeuh cihna tawhzong kila thei ahihman in, laigelhna ah, ‘saptuam’ cih hoih kasapen hi. Zomite Khristian suahzawh kum 100 val deuh hipana, tuma kum 1000 valbang Khristian anasuakkhin gamte’ tuahkhak ahi, ngeina, khantohna, leh pilna kilaih ziauziau kamkal ah akilaih ngeilo Khazih Saptuam cih siksan in ei Zomi Khristiante khuasak dantawh tawm ih ennuam hi.
Saptuam Diktak
Zeisu kammal panin agingkhia, “Hih suangtungah ka pawlpi (ecclesia) kalam dinga sihna nangawnin zozo loding hi” tua suangpi tunga kilampen pawlpi/saptuam diktak hi-a, tua Zeisu kammal tunidong kuamah in laih nailo (laih theiloding) ahihman in Khristian pawlpi/saptuam pen Zeisu tungah akilam pawlpi ahihi.
Tua Zeisu saptuam diktak ahihna pen, Zeisu thubek masakin nei-a, Pasian (Logos) kammal, John 1:1, 14, tungah kilam ahihmah bangin tua Saptuam makaih ding mi/pa zong Paul in Timothy ahilhmah bangin (I Tim 2:15) “Pasian thuman a mantakin hilhin, na nasepna-ah maizumna thuak loin, Pasian pahtakna na ngah theih nadingin na siam tawpin hanciam in” cihi. Ahuampi, atomkimtakin gending hileng, Khazih pawlpi diktak ciaptehna namthum hi a, Pasian kammal mah agen ngiatngiat, “Preaching the Word,” tua Pasian kammal khialngeilo “the inerrancy of the scripture” leh Pasian mai ah mawhsutna “Confession” te ahihi. Hih namthumte’ lakah alotheilo, athupipen ahi, “Preaching the Word” Pasian kammal gen ngiatngiatna ahileh namtampi in kikhen leuleu hi.
Gentehna in, “Evangelism, lungdamna thu-um nailote tungah tangko na, “Mission” sepna zonghi-a, ahi zongin Mission nasep pen Evangelism sangin zaizaw aa Mission nuai-ahzong Evangelism kikoih zawhi. Atunga Saptuam te ciapteh nasangin alianzaw, ahihkei leh Saptuam hongpian khiatna “Cross” Singlamteh thu- Zeisu in gim athuakna thu kihahgen nawnlo in tua Singlamteh hanga thupha bek ihgen takciangin bangtawh kibang hiamcih leh singgah bek thupi sa in akung thupi asalo tawh kibangta hi. Martin Luther (Protestant te pupi pa) in Zeisu Saptuam ah member kahih theihna, amah ka Topa dinga ka-up theihna pen ama Kammal (the Word) thukigen te Khasiangtho in teltheihna hongpiak hangbek hi’ naci hi.
Ngeina in Azawhthawh Saptuam
Mihingte ngeina ihcihpen Idea pan kipankhia hi-a, Pasian Idea tawh kituaklo zawden hi. Gentehna in Pasianin Adamleh Eve Eden huana ukdingleh apuahdingin koih a Pasian in agamtatzia dinguh (singgah neklohding) hilhnapi in amau idea- ngaihsutna tawh agamtat uhciangin Pasian thumanlohna dong tunpih hi. Christian Philosopher, Francis A. Schaeffer in, “mihing tangthu leh ngeina (culture) te zungpi (root) pen mihingte ngaihsutna pan hi-a, tua ngaihsutnate khuttawh lai-in gelhkhia in kamtawh ihgenkhiatman in leitungah kizelh hi” cihi. Man mahmah hi. Tuni-a ihpilna leh ihgam ki-ukna idea/ngaihsutna koipan hongpai hiam cih ihtheih nadingin thuthum tel hamtang kulhi: philosophy (ngaihsutna thuthuk) scientific (na tuamtuamte siamna) leh religion (biakna lam) ahihi.
Philosophy in mihing nuntakna tawh kisai thuthukte dawtna leh dawnna bulpi hi-a, scientific in Pasian bawlsa leitungleh asunga omna te bangcizatsiam dingcih honghilh hi. Religion in mimal leh tualsung khuasakzia koilam manawh dingcih honghilh hi. Greek minamte in tualsung ki-ukna khuapi tungah kingasak uh-a, ahizongin tualsung ki-ukna khuapi (polis) in ukzolo hi. Rom te ahihleh atualsung nuntakna leh ki-ukna pasian (gods) tungah kingasak uh-a, a Rom pasian uh tuazah in thahatlo ahihman in kisia veve hi. Tua ahihman in Rom khuapi ukpi Nero Caesar leh galkapte in banghang a Paul that hiam? Rom khuapi mihing bawl tawm pasian tawh ki-uksak uh himah leh Paul leh thu-um dangte in Zeisu bek Saptuam neipa hi, amahpen Pasian hi acih uhciang kithah hi.
Zeisu leh Caesar te bia khawmleh Paul kithat loding hi. Tua ahihman in Buddhism leh Christianity umkhawm lecinzong Kawlgam ah (biaknatawh) bawlsiatna omlo dinghi. Ahizongin Zeisu in nagawmkhawm loa, anungzui te zong nagawmlo ahihman in eikhangah ihgawmkhak leh ei akhial hiding hi. Milimbia tawh gawmding cihtha dah Zeisu thubek genlo a, leitungnate in aluahciang tuapen ngeina in azawhthawh saptuam hita hi. Khazih saptuam pen Khazih bekmah thuneih na hi’ ci in Martin Luther in kuama gelhnai loh Khazih leh saptuam tawh kisai lai (thesis) 95 Wittenberg biakinn ah October 31, 1517 in sikkilhtawh kilh hi.
Ngaihsutna (sociology leh technology) hongkhantoh ciangin Reformation, biakna lam hitaleh secular lam hitaleh, lampi kihong ahihman in asia leh apha khangto semsem hi. Hih reformation hun (1500-1700) kikaalsungin Luther, John Calvin leh John Huss te in akizom Khazih saptuam/pawlpi atangzaizaw in makaih thei ahihman un tunidong mah Khazih saptuam/pawlpi kiciantakin kimu theilai hi. Western lampan khantohna, Saptuam lam hita leh leitunglam hitaleh, ahoihna leh asiatna namnih enpak ni.
Hih hunsung Renaissance, thaksuahna/ mihingpilna leh siamna tungah kingak hun pen AD1400-1600 kikaalsung ahihi. Mihing ngaihsutna bektawh nakhempeuh hithei hi – man is the center of all things- cih hong meiletta uhhi. Mihingpen Pasian bawl hi’ cihsangin mihingleh mihing in nakhempeuh piangtheita hi’cih ahihi. Mihingbawl tawm LAW- upadi in Pasian piak LAW thukhamte langpanta ahihman in mihing thuneihna saptuam sungna ngawnah asangpen munhong tungta hi. Gentehna in mipil minthang, Thomas Aquinas in, Adam mawhna hangin mihingte avekpi in sukha loa mihing pilnatawh kisai sukhalo hi’ cih kipom mahmah hi. Tuabangin mihing pilna leh mihingbek cih hong ultung laitakin John Wycliff in bel, Laisiangtho pen Pasian kammal hi-a, leitung vantungah thuneihna sangpen ‘supreme authority’ nei hi ci in tangko ahihman in mitampi takmah in tuathu zui hi.

Kammal dangin gending hileng, Scientists, Isaac Newton Albert Einstein te modern sciences leh Laisiangtho kitulkalh lo aa amuh khiat khempeuh uhpen Laisiangtho tawh kituak nahizaw cih mukhia uhhi. Banghangin tuni tuhun in Liberal Christian tam semsem hiam cihleh Renaissance -mihingpilna, siamna leh Aristotle idea te, Plato ideate leh Enlightenment te gawpkhawm – synthesize- ahihman in leitung khantohna idea leh akilaih ngeilo Khazih saptuam muhkhialhna omta hi.
Khazih Saptuam leh Zomi Tapidaw te dinmun
Khamtung Pasian thu ongpuak masa pen, Rev. Arthur E. Carson hi a, Hakha March 15, 1899 in tunghi. Gilpeng natna tawh April 6, 1908 in kum 47 aphakin azisihsan aa azi in 1920 dong Pasian nasem in Hakha kuamteng ah pawlpi 10 leh member 800 pha hi. Rev. Herbert Cope, 1910 in Tedim hongtunga Zolai hongbawlsak hi. Rev.

Khazih saptuam leh Zomite kipatna hipah hi. Khamtunga teng Zomite zozu kidawn in khamle uh kitawng in innkuan sungleh tualsung buaisak cih atheih ciang’ Sang mang Cope in Tapidawte zudawn saklo in tudongmah tua kizanglai hi. Kawlgam a hongpai missionary masate, Judson akipan Herbert Cope tepen Laisiangtho siamsa in hongpai uh ahihman in kiteltakin hilhcian thei uh hi.
Kum zalom sawmnih nungsiah Kawlgam ki-ukna hoihloziak leh Leitung khantohna in hongnawk ahihman in gampua ah sumzongin zomite zin kawikawi ta aa American dong kitungin sumzong bek hinawnlo in pemta in kiteng tahi. Bektham lo in’ akitheh thang Zomi thu-um mite leh saptuam cihleng zong hih lai thulu dingin kituak zawlai dinghi. Khazih saptuamte ihcih pen midangte lakpan asapkhiat te cihna hi-a, leitungah omlai phial mahleng thu-umlo tetawh (identity) akibanglo te ihihi. Ahizongin midangte zong tua saptuam sung atuntheih nading thu-um khempeuhin tavuan neihi.
Social, (taangpi nuntakzia) leh Saptuam
Gampua aom, ahihkei leh gamkhangto gama om thu-um Zomite paizia tawm ihsut nuamhi. Khazih saptuam atungah ihgencian sabangin Rome, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Delhi, leh Yangon khuapi koikoi ah ihom zongin Khazih saptuam ahihna (identity)pen kilaih theilo hi. Pasian lungdamnathu Laisiangtho bulphuh in pulpit tungpan agen ngiat ngiat, Laisiangtho khiallo hi’ leh Zeisu tungah mawhsutna-confession-cihte ahihi. Leitung gamkhatna (first country) gama Zomi pemtate in Khazih saptuam bangci paipih ihiam cih et kikhuai ta kasa hi.
Ahangpen, leitung ngeina/culture leh khantohna te in hong vuknelh lam ei leh ei kitheilo ihihna, Western lampan in renaissance, reformation leh enlightenment hunte panin kimu hi. Amaute zong hih movement te’n a vuknelh lam amau leh amau kitheilo in Pasian kammaltawh kigam latektek kisalo uhhi. Khazih saptuamin taangpite’ deihna hong ukzoleh ahoihding hinapi in, taangpite deihna leh nuntakzia in saptuam ukzaw tahi.
Taangpi deihna leh Saptuam
Paul in nisimin kasi hi cihi Korin masa 15:31. Cileh sadeihna kanusia den hi’ acih na ahihi. Taangpi deihna (social) in Saptuam azawhthawh ciangin damdam in Pasian kammal tawh kituak lohi. Gentehna in, January 22, 1973 kumin taangpi deihna tawh kizui in American te thuneihna sangpen, Supreme Court in Numei te in asunga om naungek a utleh lakkhiat theihna(abortion)phalna pia hi. Nugil sunga om naungek khathum nuaisiah mihing in simlo uhhi. Taangpi deihna mahtawh 2003 kumin LGBT (lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) American thuneihna sangpen Supreme Court in thuneihna/ right/ hamphatna pia aa tua khitzawh damdam in Saptuam pawlpi tampite in LGBT te siampiza pia ziahziah ta uhhi.
Taangpi deihna ihcih ciangin LGBT leh Abortion bek hizenzen lo-a, Khazih saptuam mihing te hoihsak leh taangpi taangta deihna tawh pawlpi kilam te adingin tulai ei Zomi te sungah zong omlo’ kicithei lohi. Gentehna in, gamhoihloh naleh neklehtak zonna hamsat natawh pautheihlohna gam, ngeina kibanglo gama ateng mite adingin ih Saptuam uh bang tawh kilam ahihiam? Taangpi deihna leh kisapnate tawh saptuam kilam hiam? Khangnote music tumgingte leh gamlumna te ciangtawh kilam hi loin, music leh hugingte biakinn ah nuam ahihman in night club leh bar te apainawnlo hi loin, music instrument a omkei zongin microphone te biakinn nuamte ihzatloh hangin, singnuai, lamgei peuh, khualzinna vanleng tungleh mawtaw tungte ahzong biakpiakna kipia thei ahihlam zong kiphawksak huaihi.
July 21, 2021 in ZCMF khawmpi paidingin vanleng tualpi kalut aa security check point ah ka hand carrier bag hong etsak dingkithawi in ka Laisiangtho atungah amuhciang anuai lam ensuk nawnlo in kingah ei’ ciziau hi. iPhone, iPad te sungah Laisiangtho software om mah leh abungiat pua-a midangte’n hongmuh bekzong hihpa thu-um mite hi’ hongci thei hi.

Tua biakpiakna hunkhit cianga biakinn pualam peuhpai- music tumkei leh kikhawm lo peuh ciang ihihloh ding’ tu hun nunungah thupi mahmah hi.
Atom in genkik dinghileng Khazih saptuam cihciangin ih pumpi hizaw aa lawppakna leh kisappak nate tawh biakpiak na ihlui lohding Topa in Samuel kiangah, ‘biakpiakna sangin thuman na thupi/hoih zaw’ hi (Sam masa 15:22) naci hi. Zomi atamzaw te’n biakpiakna ihpiak ciangin eilam pan nop ihsak leh Pasian analungkim luading kisapah theihi. Eilam pan haksatna ihtuah leh Pasian eitungah aheh kisapah theihi. Job tungah Satan in ze-et in Job thumin tauin aom laitak, athuak keeikaai laitak Topa lungdam mahmah hi. Banghang hiam cihleh Topa tungah Job citak ahihna Satan tungah lakthei hi.
Thukhupna
Saptuam (church) leh khantohna (civilization) kikal ah thu-um mihingte khuasa ihih manin, khatlah katem, khatlah kapai cihdan in khatzong kipai’ khiatheilo hi. Zeisu in Sawltak Peter kiangah’ hih suangtungah kapawlpi (saptuam) ecclesia kalam ding hi’ acihzawh tuni ciang kum2000 valsungin, akikhelngeilo Khazih saptuamin akikhelden khantohna (civilization/ culture) tuamtuamte phukhato ahihman in atunga ihgensa – renaissance, reformation, enlightenment- te kawmkal ah Khazih saptuam in bawlsiatna simmawhna leh haksatna gen zawhlohin tuak mahleh mangthang lohi.
Khazih saptuam Jerusalem pan kipan khia in Western lampan Africa, America leh Asia, akibanglo kampau ngeina leh biakna – Hinduism Buddhism, Islam- leh atuamtuam telak ah akhangtopen leh mimal tampenin azuih biakna ahihi. Adawldawl in Khazih saptuam in taangpi deihna leh khantohna tuamtuam te thuak toto hi. Khazih saptuam ihlam (build up) na ah Khazih kammal tawh makaih kahiam? Taangpi te deihna masak (priority) in koihzaw kahiam? Ci in Paul in Timothy ahilhna “Pasian’ thuman a mantakin hilhin, na nasepna-ah maizumna thuak loin, Pasian’ pahtakna na ngah theih nadingin nasiam tawpin hanciam in” Tim masa 2:15. Thuman takin hilhding in Topa in zomi Pasian nasemte thupha hongpia hen. Rev. Pau D. Lian D.MIN., (PH.D CAND)
