“Abakirisu bo mu ntango ntibakoresha ibishusho mu gusenga . . . Ibishusho vyatanguye gukoreshwa muri Ekeleziya mu kinjana ca kane n’ica gatanu hishimikijwe iciyumviro c’uko ngo abantu ata co bazi bari gushobora kwiga neza ibintu vyerekeye ubukirisu bafatiye kuri ivyo bishusho kuruta kuvyigira mu nsiguro canke mu bitabu.”​—Bivugwa n’igitabu kimwe (Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature), canditswe na McClintock hamwe na Strong, Imbumbe ya 4, ku rupapuro rwa 503 n’urwa 504.

Ivuga iti: “Ntukibāzire igishushanyo, cank’igisa n’ishusho y’ikintu na kimwe kiri hejuru mw ijuru, canke hasi kw isi, canke mu mazi yo mu biyaga; ntuz’uvyikubite imbere, ntuz’ubisabe.” (Kuvayo 20:4, 5) Intumwa Yohani yandikiye abakirisu bo mu kinjana ca mbere, ati: “Bana bato, mwirinde ibigirwamana.”​—1 Yohani 5:21.

None ugukoresha ibishusho bwoba ari uburyo bufasha gusa kwiyegereza no gutera iteka ico biba bigereranya, nk’uko amadini abivuga? Igitabu kimwe c’inkoranyabumenyi (The Encyclopedia of Religion) kivuga giti: “Mu ntango, ibishusho bishobora kuba vyakoreshwa ahanini mu bijanye n’ukwigisha be n’ugushariza; ivyo ni vyo n’imiburiburi abantu bavuga kugira ngo basigure igituma vyakoreshwa. Ariko twovuga yuko bidatevye, vyahavuye biza birasengwa. Ivyo vyari ivy’ukuri na canecane ku bijanye n’ibishushanyo vyahavuye bicika ikintu gihambaye kiranga idini rya Orotodogisi ryo mu Buseruko.” Ariko rero, umuhanuzi Yesaya yarabajije adaca ku ruhande, ati: “Imana mwoyigereranya na nde, canke mwoyishushanya n’ishusho ki?”​—Yesaya 40:18.
