Kohhran leh Politics (Separation of Church and State)

Mizoram sorkarin zu khapna dan thlahdul a tum chungchang kohhranin a sawisel chuan tunlai titi a luah hle a. Mi thenkhatin kohhranin a tih tur a ti niin an ngai a. Chutihlai chuan thenkhatin an sawisel nasa hle. Sorkar dan siam tura kohhran inrawlh an sawisel viau a, sorkar leh kohhran chu a kal hrang tur a ni, an ti a. Kristiante chu roreltute thu awi turin Bible-in min zirtir a ni, an ti bawk. Hengte hi India leh Bible inzirtirna bihchiangin kan thlir ang.

Kohhran leh sorkar

Kohhran a din tirh atangin kohhran hi sorkar kalphungah hian a inrawlh hle niin kan ngai thin a. Constantine-a Rom lalber a nih a, Melvian Bridge Indonaa hnehna a chan hnu atang phei kha chuan nasa lehzualin sorkar kalphung leh rorelnaah kohhran a inrawlh a. Hun Laihawl an tih hunlai, AD 500 - 1500 chhung phei kha chuan, Khawthlang Ram (Western Europe)-ah chuan sorkar hi kohhranin a thunun a, kohhran a thu ber thin a nih kha.

Hun kal tawh thlirin kohhran leh sorkar a kal hrang ngai lo hrim hrim a. A chhe zawng emaw, a tha zawng emawin an inzawm tawn tlat a, chuvang chuan kohhran hi sorkarnaa a inhnamhnawih hi thil thar a ni lo. Sorkar hi kohhran kalphung leh thlarau lam thila inrawlh a tum tlatin tihduhdahna a chhuak thin a, kohhran hian sorkar aia thu a neih a, politics a thunun lutuk a, a duh ang taka a chawh danglam theih tawh chuan kohhran chhungah kalsualna a awm thin.

Separation of Church and State

Mi tam tak chuan khawthlang rama secularism an kalpui dan leh an hriatthiam dan, Separation of Church and State hi an sawi chhuak fo thin. India rama awm kan ni tih inhre reng ila, khawthlang rama an tih ang zel khuan kan kal dawn lo a, India danpui milin kan kal thin.

Secularism nihphung tak takah chuan mihring chhia leh tha hriatna hi sakhaw inzirtirnaa kaihhruai loh a, dan hmanga kaihhruai hi a kawk zawk a. Mahse India-ah chuan hetiang hi a ni lo. Justice RA Jahagirdar chuan, India-ah chuan sakhua leh sorkar hi a kal hrang lo (separate lo) a ti (Rationalist Foundation. Collected Works of Justice RA Jahagirdar: Secularism).

Justice Jahagirdar hian US Supreme Court-in secularism a kalpui dan leh a kenkawh danah chuan sorkar chuan eng sakhua mah a tanpuiin a thlawp lo, a ti a. India Constitution thlir chiana secularism kan pawm danah chuan, eng sakhua mah hi sorkar sakhuaa neih a duh lo va, eng sakhua emaw, kohhran emaw duhsak bik a nei tur a ni lo a, chutihrual chuan mitinte an sakhuaa an duh anga an tel a phalsak a ni, a ti. Hei bakah hian India context-ah chuan sakhua leh sorkar kal hrang hlak tura tih hi thil tih theih loh angah kan ngai, tiin a sawi bawk. US-a Separation of Church and State leh India secularism a inan lohna em em pakhat chu, Article 290A angin India-ah chuan tunhmaa Travancore leh Cochin-a Hindu temple-te cheithatna tur sorkarin kumtin pawisa a pe thin. Hei bakah hian Muslim ten Haj biakzin an neih dawnin, sorkarin mi rethei, biakzina kal turte sum a tumsak thin.

Bible sawi dan

Tunhnaia sorkarin Zu khapna dan thlah dul a tum chungchanga kohhranin a duh dan a sawiah Rom 13:1 thu mi thenkhat chuan kan sawi chhuak a. Bible thu hi a châng mal chauha hrilhfiah a him lo a, kalsual tam tak an lo awm tawhna chhan a ni. Chuvang chuan Rom 13:1 chauh la vâwng a, châng 2-7 thu kan hlamchhiah chuan a tum a kim thei lo a, Bible sawi tum kha kan thelh duai dawn tihna a ni. Rom 13:1-7 thuah hian Paula hian roreltute thu awi tura a tihna lai nia lang chu chhiah pek tur pe a, pawikhawih zawnga sual lo tura tihna a ni.

Helai châng thu Martin Luther-an a hrilhfiaha a sawi zui danah chuan mihring thuneitute ai chuan Pathian thu kan awi ber tur a ni. Bible thu aia mihring thuneitute thu kan awi zawk a nih chuan Pathian thuneihna kan hnawl a, Kristian kan ni lo tihna a ni, a ti. Paula hian roreltute chu thil sual titute hrem tur an ni tih a hria a, chuvang chuan thil sual ti lo va, dânin awm tura a tih anga awm, zâwm mai turin a ti a ni.

Matthaia 22:21 thu, Kaisara thil Kaisara hnena pek leh, Pathian thil Pathian hnena pek thu hi Bible hrilhfiahna tam berah chuan mihring thuneitute hnen atanga kan hmuh chu an hnena pek let tur a ni a, Pathian hnen atanga kan hmuh chu Pathian hnenah pek let tur a ni, an ti.

Sorkar vs Kohhran

Sorkar thila kohhran inrawlh te, kohhran thila sorkar inrawlh viaute hi kan sawisel nasa hle thin. Hemi chungchanga Pathian mitena an lo sawi dan tlem lo tarlang ila.

Luthera te, siamthatu dangte chuan Sorkar leh Kohhran an ngaihdan chu inkalh ni lovin, kal dun tur an ni a. Pakhatin mihring chu dan leh a lek kawhtute hmangin sual laka a him theih nan a veng ang a, pakhat chuan Chatuana nunna a pe ang, tih hi an ngaihdan a ni a, a pakhat chauh ve ve hi a famkim lo an ti. Treatise on Temporal Authority, 1523-ah chuan Luther-a hian mi zawng zawng hi Kristian an nih loh avangin temporal authority (leia roreltute) an awm ngai a ni, a ti (Bayer, Oswald. Martin Luther's Theology: A Contemporary Interpretation. William B. Eerdmans Publishing). Calvin-a chuan leia roreltu chu Pathianin thuneihna a pek an ni a, an tih tur chu Pathian duh dan, mihringte that tlanna ber tur ngaihtuah leh tihhlawhtlin a ni. Chutiang roreltute thu chu zawm tur a ni, a ti. (Wilhelm Niesel. The Theology of Calvin. Translated by Harold Knight. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1956). Ulrich Zwingli chuan sorkarin mihring felna a tinghetin a humhim thei a, mahse Pathian tana mi fel erawh a chhuah thei lo a, chu chu kohhran tih tur a ni, a ti a. Roreltute an nunrawn a, hleih nei taka ro an rel phei chuan paihthlak a pawi miah lo, Pathian duh dan zawk a ni, a ti hmiah (Stephens, WP. The Theology of Huldrych Zwingli.
