Yini esingayilindela ukuyithola?
N.B. Leli khasi akusho okwamanje “Esenziwe Lula isiZulu” version.
ukuhumushwa okuzenzakalelayo zisekelwe embhalweni wokuqala IsiZulu. Bona ingafaka amaphutha abalulekile.
Sifunani?
Hlobo luni lokuqinisekisa okungokomlando kwesigijimi sobuKristu okufanele sikulindele ukukuthola emithonjeni engeyona eyobuKristu?
Cishe ngeke sibathole bethi uJesu wayenguMesiya, noma ukuthi wavuka kwabafileyo. Lokhu kungase kuzwakale kusobala: kodwa kuyamangaza ukuthi kukangaki umuntu ezwa abantu abahlakaniphile besikisela ukuthi lezi zinto akufanele zikholwe, ngoba abantu abasho njalo bangamaKrestu kuphela!
Ukholo lobuKristu lwaluphikisana kakhulu nezinkolelo ezamukelekayo kumaJuda, Umphakathi wamaRoma namaGreki. AmaJuda athi uJesu wenza izimangaliso zakhe ngemilingo (c.f. Luka 11:14-5). AmaRoma ayebheka amaKristu ‘njengabangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu’, ngoba bala onkulunkulu babo nobunkulunkulu boMbusi. Ngenxa yalokho, kufanele silindele izikhombo ezinjalo ezitholakala emithonjeni engeyona eyobuKristu ukuba zilulaze. Njengoba sizobona kamuva endabeni ye-Testimonium Flavianum, noma yini engekho kumele iphathwe ngokuqapha.
Ukushoda Kwemithombo Yezwe.
Ngeshwa, asinakulindela ukuthola ukusekelwa kwezwe kwanamuhla kweTestamente Elisha nhlobo, njengoba imbalwa kakhulu imibhalo yezwe kusukela kulenkathi eye yasinda kuze kube namuhla. Empeleni, zimbalwa kangangokuthi singanikeza uhlu oluphelele lwazo emigqeni embalwa nje:
- Philo, owahlala eGibhithe wafela khona 40 Isikhangiso, yayigxile kakhulu kufilosofi nobuhlobo phakathi kwesiko lamaJuda nelamaGreki.
- Kunengxenye yomlando waseRoma kaVelleius Paterculus, yangomhla 30 Isikhangiso.
- Kunombhalo oqoshiwe ovela eKhesariya oqukethe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zegama likaPilatu, yaphakathi 30 futhi 40 Isikhangiso.
- Kunezinganekwane ezilotshwe nguPhaedrus zangomhla 40-50 Isikhangiso.
- Kusukela kuma-50 kanye nama-60 kukhona izinto ezimbalwa kuphela, ingxenye enkulu yalo ibhalwe abafuduki baseSpain abahlala eRoma.
Ngaphandle kwalezi zikhona:
- Inkondlo kaLucan, Umshana kaSeneca, ngempi phakathi kukaJulius Caesar noPompey.
- Incwadi ngezolimo kaColumella.
- Izingcezu zenoveli ethi 'Satyricon', nguGayu Petronicus.
- Imigqa engamakhulu ambalwa evela ku-satirist, isiPheresiya.
- Umlando Wemvelo,’ (umlando wemvelo) nguMdala uPliny.
- Izingcezu ze-Commentary ku-Cicero ka-Asconius Pedianus.
- Umlando ka-Alexander Omkhulu nguQuintus Curtius.
- Imibhalo ehlukahlukene yeSeneca.
Kulezi, ababili kuphela okungenzeka babhale noma yini, UPhilo kanye noSeneca.
- UPhilo wayeyisakhamuzi sase-Alexandria eGibhithe; kodwa mhlawumbe ngabe wezwa ngoJesu nabalandeli bakhe. Naye wayengumJuda okhuthele, futhi isithakazelo sakhe sisezintweni zamaJuda. Ubhala kabanzi ngezimfundiso zama-Essene. Kodwa kumaJuda amaningi esikhathi sakhe (kuhlanganise neSt Paul, ngaphambi kokuguqulwa kwakhe!) amaNazaretha ayeyihlelo lamambuka; futhi kungenzeka ukuthi akazange azinake ngenxa yalesi sizathu.
- I-Seneca nayo yayizoba yinto engenzeka: kodwa ubuKristu babusanda kuthola ukuvela kwabo kokuqala eRoma ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-50 nasekuqaleni kwawo-60.; futhi akazange aphakame kwaze kwaba yilapho uNero eshushiswa 64 Isikhangiso. USeneca wayesenkingeni ejulile noNero ngokwakhe (wazibulala ngo 65 Isikhangiso); ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukuthi ube nezinkinga ezengeziwe ngokuthinta indaba ebucayi kangaka, ikakhulukazi uma ayenozwela ngamaKristu.
Eminye imithombo yayikhona, njengoThallus noPhlegon, ngoba kukhulunywa ngabo emibhalweni yoBaba bebandla lokuqala, kodwa kusukela lapho sebelahlekile. Lezi zizoxoxwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kanye nezinye izikhombo kamuva ezivela emithonjeni yezwe neyamaJuda.
Ngenxa yalokho, siphoqeleka ukuba sithembele emithonjeni yezwe yedethi yakamuva kancane.
Kodwa, nakuba zingeziningi iziqinisekiso zangaphandle eziningi zangaphambili zomlando kaJesu, lezo ezikhona ziwuhlobo kanye nenani elilinganiselwe okufanele lilindelwe. UTacitus noJosephus, Ngokwesibonelo, sinikeze uhlobo lobufakazi ebesingabulindela. Nakuba kungeyona yodwa imithombo ephakathi kwemihle kakhulu, njengoba bobabili bafakazelwa kahle futhi benedumela njengabacwaningi abacophelelayo.
