Funda nathi ngalesi sihloko, konke mayelana christian apologetics. Igama elasetshenziswa umphostoli uPetru ezimfundisweni zakhe namaKristu ayeshushiswa ngenxa yokholo lwawo.
Iyini i-apologetics yobuKristu?
Ukuchaza ama-apologetics obuKristu, okokuqala kulula ukwazi umqondo ojwayelekile walokho igama elithi ukuxolisa lisho ukuthini. Leli yigama elivela egameni lesiGreki elithi ἀπολογία, elibuye lilenze:
- ᾰ̓πο noma i-apo: Okushiwo igama elithi “ngemuva”.
- I-λογία yamalogo: Ukusho inkulumo yamagama.
Lezi zimpande ezimbili zesiGreki zihlangene zakha igama elithi ἀπολογία noma ukuxolisa, ukuze lisho inkulumo evikela okuthile noma isu lokufeza ukuzivikela.
Leli gama elivamile kanye nesichasiso sobuKristu, bese libonisa ukuthi ukuxolisa kobuKristu yingxenye yemfundiso yenkolo ephikiswayo ekuvikeleni ukholo lobuKristu. Futhi kungukuthi, kuso sonke isintu kube khona futhi kunengxenye enkulu engabazayo engabaza ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu.
Kulokhu ikakhulukazi ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu waseBhayibhelini nokholo kuKristu Jesu. Ukuxolisa kwamaKristu kwaqala ezinsukwini zabaphostoli, lapho kwaqala ukuvela abafundisi bamanga.
Laba bafundisi bamanga bakhuthaza phakathi kwemiphakathi yamaKristu asendulo, izimfundiso zamanga ezaziphika izimiso eziyisisekelo zokholo lobuKristu.
Lezi zimfundiso zamanga zisenganikezwa nanamuhla, ngakho-ke inhloso ye-apologetics yobuKristu iwukubona nokubhekana nalokhu kunyakaza. Ukuze sithwale isigijimi seqiniso sokholo lobuKristu esiwukwenza kwaziwe okuwukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso noJesu Kristu isithunywa sakhe, Johane 17:3 .
Isifundo se-Christian apologetics siholela umholi wamaKrestu ukuthi azilungiselele ukuthi akwazi ukunikeza izimpendulo kwabangakholwa, afune ukuguqulwa kwabo. Ngokusebenzisa ingqondo nobufakazi obuvela ezwini likaNkulunkulu eliyiBhayibheli, ungaphendula imibuzo efana nalena:
- Kungani kufanele umuntu aguqukele ebuKristwini?
- Noma futhi, Kungani umuntu kufanele abeke ukholo lwakhe futhi athembele kuJesu Kristu?
Evesini loku-1 Petru 3:15
Leli vesi mhlawumbe igama elithethelela kangcono ukuxolisa kobuKristu. Umphostoli uPetru kuleli vesi uthi ngeke kube nezaba zokuthi noma yimuphi umKristu akwazi ukuvikela ukholo lwakhe.
(1 Petru 3:15) Kodwa ngcwelisani uKristu njengeNkosi ezinhliziyweni zenu, ehlale ezilungiselele ukuze ngiziphendulele phambi kwanoma ubani ofuna isizathu sethemba okukuwe Kodwa kwenze ngobumnene nangenhlonipho,
Ukuze wonke umKristu ophenduke ngempela akwazi ukunikeza isitatimende esiphusile noma incazelo yokholo lwakhe kuKristu. Okokuqala, ngobufakazi bakhe, ngoba into yokuqala uKristu ayenzayo kubantu ukuguqula izinhliziyo zabo, uma emukelwa ngobuqotho.
Nakuba ikholwa lingadingi ukuba isifundiswa ekuxoliseni, kumele libe nolwazi lwezwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukuze ube nesisekelo salokho okukholelwayo, kamuva uzokwazi ukwabelana nabanye abantu ngokholo lwakho futhi uzokwazi futhi ukulivikela kunoma yikuphi ukuhlaselwa noma ukukhohliswa.
Umphostoli uPetru wabhala leli vesi encwadini yakhe yokuqala lapho imiphakathi yokuqala yamaKristu eyakhiwa e-Asia Minor yayishushiswa ngenxa yokholo lwayo kuKristu Jesu. Evesini lika-1 Petru 3:15, ukuxolisa kobuKristu kufingqiwe ezingxenyeni ezimbili eziqondile, njengalezi:
- Izizathu kanye nobufakazi obunenhloso ngobuqiniso bobuKristu.
- Indlela yokudlulisela leli qiniso emhlabeni.
Faka isihloko esilandelayo futhi ufunde mayelana ukushushiswa kwamaKristu: indaba yokwesaba nobuhlungu. Kuyo sizoxoxa nawe mayelana nokuthi ushushiso lwalunjani wahlushwa imiphakathi yokuqala yamaKristu ngezikhathi zoMbuso WaseRoma, kanye nalabo abahlushwa isonto enkathini yesimanje nalabo abaphila namuhla.
I-Christian Apologetics yeqiniso lobuKristu
Abalweli bokholo bokuqala abangamaKristu bavela emfundisweni yobuJuda, njengoba kwenzeka kumphostoli uPetru noPawulu. Ngendlela efanayo kwenzeka kumakholwa okuqala, lawa kwakungamaJuda, kamuva ahlanganyela nabeZizwe, okungukuthi, abangewona amaJuda.
Ngakho-ke, kubalweli bokholo bokuqala, ukudlulisela ukholo lwabo olusha lobuKristu endaweni yabo eseduze yokholo lwamaJuda, njengomndeni nabangane. Kumelwe ukuba basungula isigijimi sikaJesu esivela emibhalweni yeTestamente Elidala futhi kusukela lapho ukuvuka kukaKristu kuyisizathu esinokwethenjelwa sokukholelwa kuYe.
Khona-ke kuwukuvuka kukaKristu okuyinhloso eyinhloko ubufakazi bobuqiniso bobuKristu. I-apologetics yobuKristu yabe ithuthukiswa phakathi namakhulu eminyaka, ihlanganisa nezazi zefilosofi ezidumile zenkathi ephakathi, isibonelo esiwumbhishobhi oNgcwele u-Augustine waseHippo.
Phakathi kwalabo benkathi yesimanje, abalweli bokholo abanjengoGilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) kanye noClive Staples Lewis (1898 – 1963) bangaqanjwa. Nakuba okwamanje abalweli bokholo ababili bayagqama: Isazi sefilosofi esingumKristu esineminyaka engu-71 ubudala uWilliam Lane Craig kanye nesazi sebhayoloji esidumile sofuzo uFrancis Collins.
Abalweli bokholo abangamaKristu, ngaphezu kokubhekana nokungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, kumelwe babhekane nezimfundiso ezintsha namafilosofi avele ezikhathini zamuva nje. Kulezi zinkolelo-mbono ezintsha, umcabango we-naturist, i-pantheism kanye nomcabango we-post-modernist ungashiwo phakathi kokunye.
Funda lapha mayelana ukungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu: Kuyini?, incazelo, incazelo, nokunye okuningi. Okuwumoya wefilosofi ophikisana nenkolelo yokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, ngakho-ke uphika ubukhona bukaKristu ngendlela efanayo.
Indlela Yohlelo
Okulandelayo yilokho okungase kube indlela yohlelo lokuxolisa kobuKristu. Ukuze ubonise ngokusobala ubuqiniso bobuKristu:
- Iqiniso likhona noma iqiniso eliqondile lingaziwa.
- UNkulunkulu ukhona, izibonakaliso zakudala ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu yilezi:
- Okokuqala impikiswano ye-cosmological.
- Okwesibili impikiswano yezenkolo.
- Okwesithathu, impikiswano yokuziphatha.
- Izimangaliso ziyenzeka futhi zingokoqobo, impilo yenzeka endaweni yonke engeyona uhlelo oluvaliwe.
- ITestamente Elisha leBhayibheli linokwethenjelwa ngokomlando. Ngaye kunobufakazi bemibhalo yesandla nomlando wemivubukulo.
- Ithuna elingenalutho yilelo likaJesu, owavuka kwabafileyo. Ngakho, uJesu unguNkulunkulu.
Ungakhulumisana Kanjani Nge-Christian Apologetics Emhlabeni
Lapho yonke indlela yangaphambili ye-eschatological equkethe amaqiniso esizathu sokuba khona kobuKristu isithuthukisiwe. Okwesibili okufanele kuthuthukiswe indlela engcono kakhulu yokuxhumana nawo wonke la maqiniso, ukuze aqondwe abantu abazokwamukela umlayezo.
Okungukuthi, indlela engcono kakhulu yokuxhumana ngaleli qiniso elibalulekile emhlabeni kufanele ithuthukiswe. Khuluma ngokuthi imfundiso yenkolo yobuKristu iyiqiniso ngakho-ke kufanele ikholwe, ngisho nangaphezulu ngenxa yeNsindiso engaguquki ekhona kuKristu.
Umphostoli uPawulu usifundisa endimeni yeBhayibheli yeyoku-1 Korinte 9:20-23 indlela yena mathupha ayisebenzisa ukuze adlulisele umyalezo, kuye ngezilaleli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwadingeka aphikise ukholo lwakhe lobuKristu nolwazi lwefilosofi yamaEpikhuru namaGreki amaStoyiku, IzEnzo 17:16-34 .
Kulezi ziqephu siyabona ukuthi umphostoli wanikeza umongo evangelini ngendlela yokuthi liqondwe yibo bonke abalizwayo. I-apologetics yobuKristu isekelwe ikakhulukazi kulokhu:
"Ukuxhumana okuphumelelayo kwezithameli ezithile"
Izindaba ezinhle zikaKristu kufanele zikhulunywe ngokucacile futhi ziqondwe ngaphambi kokuba zikholwe. Silandele ngokufunda isihloko mayelana incwadi kaGenesise: izahluko, amavesi, nencazelo. Lena incwadi yeBhayibheli evula iminyango yolwazi ngoNkulunkulu njengowukuphela komdali neNkosi yakho konke okukhona.
