Izwe ligcwele imibono engqubuzanayo mayelana nokuthi kwenzekani ngathi lapho sifa. Abanye bathi simane nje siyingozi yemvelo engenalo ikusasa lomuntu ngaphandle kokufa; abanye ukuthi sizothuthukela ngandlela thize sibe nenkohlakalo encane, ngaphezulu ‘okukhanyiselwe’ ukwazi; kanye nezinye esakhiwa ngazo futhi ngisho namanje zibhekwa futhi ziqondiswa ukuhlakanipha okukhulu kakhulu kunokwethu, oyogcina esithwesa icala ngezenzo zethu. Yilo mbono wokugcina, njengoba kwethulwe uJesu Kristu, lokho kuthuthukiswa ngokungenamahloni ngale ncwadi.

Okuqukethwe kuhlelwe ngaphansi kwalezi zihloko ezibanzi ezilandelayo:

Chofoza lapha ukuze ubuyele esihogweni ukuze uwine noma ukhokhe iZulu, noma kunoma yisiphi izihloko ezingezansi:

• Uthini UNkulunkulu, noma Sicabangani?

  Kudingeka siqale ngokuvuma ukuthi imibono yethu yabantu icishe icheme kakhulu ngokufuna kwethu siqu.; nokuthi asihlakaniphe njengoNkulunkulu. Ngokwesinye isandla, iBhayibheli liyirekhodi lezambulo zikaNkulunkulu nokusebenzisana nesintu; eziqoshwe ngamadoda esebenzisa ulimi nemibono yabantu. Zombili lezi zishintshile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi; ngakho lapho sicaphuna imiBhalo kumelwe siqaphele ukucabangela umongo eyakhulunywa futhi yalotshwa kuwo ekuqaleni.

  Kodwa uma uJesu ngempela ayethi unguye, khona-ke kunoma yikuphi ukungqubuzana kwemibono okusobala, amazwi akhe kufanele aze kuqala.

• Isizinda esingokomlando

  Ekuqaleni, umuntu wayephila ekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu; enokufinyelela unomphela ‘Esihlahleni Sokuphila.’ Ukufa kwakungabalulekile. Kodwa, ngokwamukela amanga eNyoka, ngokushesha umuntu waqala ukuzwa umunyu wobubi kanye nokungakwazi okwesabekayo ukuthola ukuthi kwakuzokwenzekani lapho efa.

  Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayetshele iNyoka ukuthi ngolunye usuku inzalo yomuntu ‘yayiyochoboza ikhanda lakho, wena uyakulimaza isithende sakhe.” Futhi, emakhulwini eminyaka alandela, Kancane kancane uNkulunkulu wembula okwengeziwe ngezinjongo zakhe ekugcineni: kodwa njalo efihla icebo lakhe eliyinhloko lokunqoba iNyoka, uSathane. Ngakho, lapho uJesu efika, eminye imiqondo yayisivele yasungulwa emicabangweni yamaJuda, nakuba isimo sazo sangempela saqhubeka siyindaba-mpikiswano.

• Silulumagama sikaJesu

  Ngesikhathi uJesu efika imiqondo elandelayo ephathelene nokuphila ngemva kokufa yayisisekelwe kahle emcabangweni wamaJuda: kodwa ubunjalo bazo bangempela kanye nokuba khona kwabo, yaqhubeka yaba yindaba ewumbango onzima:

  • ‘Sheol’ - Indawo Yabafileyo.
  • ‘Abraham’s Bosom’ - indawo lapho amaJuda alungile ayengalindela ukuvuka kwawo ekugcineni.
  • ‘Gehenna’ – indawo yokuphindisela kwaphezulu, okuzolandelwa noma wukuvuka ekugcineni, noma
  • ‘The Second Death’ - ukubhujiswa noma isimo sokufa unomphela.

  La magama asetshenziswa ezimfundisweni zikaJesu nabaphostoli; nakuba ezinye izinguqulo zesiNgisi zihumusha kokubili elithi ‘Shiyoli’ nelithi ‘Gehena’ ngokuthi ‘Isihogo’. Kodwa uJesu wawachaza kabusha la magama ngokusobala ukuze ahambisane nemibhalo yokuqala yesiHeberu.
