Intsomi 4: UThixo Uneziqu Ezithathu
Yavela phi le ntsomi?
“Imfundiso yokuba uThixo uneziqu ezithathu ifanele ukuba yavela ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yesine. Le nto iyinyaniso. . . Imfundiso yokuba uThixo uneziqu ezithathu ayizange imiselwe ngokuqinileyo, yaye yayingeyonxalenye yezinto awayezifundisa nawayezikholelwa amaKristu ngaphambi kwenkulungwane yesine.”—New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Umqulu 14, kwiphepha 299.
“NgoMeyi 20, ngowe-325 [CE] iBhunga laseNicaea laba nentlanganiso. YayinguConstantine ngenkqu owayongamele loo ntlanganiso yaye nguye owacebisa ukuba . . . kuxwebhu lweenkolelo zecawa olwakhutshwa lelo bhunga kufakwe nenkolelo yokuba ‘uKristu noBawo ngumntu omnye.’ Ngenxa yokoyika uConstantine bonke oobhishophu ababelapho, ngaphandle nje kwababini, balutyobela olo xwebhu nangona babekrikriza.”—IEncyclopædia Britannica (1970), Umqulu 6, kwiphepha 386.
Ifundisa ntoni yona iBhayibhile?
“Kodwa uStefano yena ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wakhangela ezulwini, waza wabubona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo, noYesu emi ewongeni ngakuThixo. Waqhuba wathi: ‘Khawukhangele! Amazulu ndiwabona evulekile, noNyana woLuntu emile ngasekunene kukaThixo!’”—IZenzo 7:55, 56, iBhayibhile YesiXhosa Yowe-1996.
Yintoni eyabonwa nguStefano kulo mbono? Ezaliswe ngamandla kaThixo asebenzayo, uStefano wabona uYesu “emile ngasekunene kukaThixo.” Kucacile ke ngoko ukuba uYesu akazange abe nguThixo ukubuyela kwakhe ezulwini, kodwa waba ngumntu womoya, owahlukileyo kuThixo. Esi sicatshulwa asitsho ukuba kwakukho umntu wesithathu owayeme ngakuThixo. Nangona abantu bebezama ukufumana iZibhalo ezixhasa imfundiso yokuba uThixo uneziqu ezithathu, kwincwadi yakhe ethi À l’aube du christianisme—La naissance des dogmes (At the Dawn of Christianity—The Birth of Dogmas) umfundisi waseDominican uMarie Boismand wabhala wathi: “Kuyo yonke iTestamente Entsha akukho ndawo ethi uThixo uyilwa ziziqu ezithathu.”
Imfundiso kaConstantine yayenzelwe ukuphelisa ukuxabana okwakukho kwiCawa ngenkulungwane yesine. Kodwa ke yadala enye intsumantsumane: Ngaba uMariya unina kaYesu, “nguMama kaThixo”?
