Ithini incazelo yababi eBhayibhelini?
Igama elithi "omubi" noma "ububi" livela kulo lonke ibhayibheli, kepha lisho ukuthini? Futhi kungani, abantu abaningi bebuza, ingabe uNkulunkulu uvumela ububi?
I-International Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) inikezela ngalencazelo yababi ngokweBhayibheli:
“Isimo sokuba mubi; ukwedelela kwengqondo ubulungiswa, ubulungiswa, iqiniso, udumo, ubuhle; ububi ngomcabango nasempilweni; ukonakala; isono; ubugebengu. "
Yize igama elithi ububi livela amahlandla ayi-119 kuKing James Bible ye-1611, igama elingajwayelekile ukuzwakala namuhla futhi livela amahlandla angama-61 kuphela kwinguqulo evamile yesiNgisi, eyakhishwa ngo-2001.
Ukusetshenziswa kuka "omubi" ukuchaza abathakathi kunganephi ubucayi bakhe, kepha e-Bhayibhelini leli cala laliyisimanga esibi. Eqinisweni, ukuba mubi kwesinye isikhathi kuletha isiqalekiso sikaNkulunkulu kubantu.
Lapho ububi buholela ekufeni
Ngemuva kokuwa komuntu eNsimini yase-Edene, akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside ukuba isono nobubi ukuba busabalale emhlabeni. Emakhulukhulu eminyaka ngaphambi kweMiyalo Eyishumi, ubuntu basungula izindlela zokucasula uNkulunkulu:
Futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu emhlabeni nokuthi yonke imicabango yemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe imbi ngokuqhubekayo. (UGenesisi 6: 5, KJV)
Akugcinanga lapho abantu babe babi, kepha imvelo yabo yayihlala imbi. UNkulunkulu wadabukiswa yilesi simo kangangokuba wanquma ukusula zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni - ngaphandle kwesishiyagalombili - uNowa nomndeni wakhe. UmBhalo ubiza uNowa ongenakuphikwa futhi uthi wahamba noNkulunkulu.
Ukuphela kwencazelo uGenesise ayinikeza ngobubi besintu ukuthi umhlaba “wawugcwele ubudlova”. Umhlaba wawonakele. UZamcolo wabhubhisa wonke umuntu ngaphandle kukaNowa, umkakhe, izingane zabo ezintathu namakhosikazi abo. Babesele ukuba baphinde basebenzise umhlaba.
Ngemuva kwamakhulu eminyaka, ububi babuye badonsa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu. Noma uGenesise engasebenzisi "ububi" ukuchaza idolobha laseSodoma, u-Abrahama ucela uNkulunkulu ukuthi angabhubhisi abalungile kanye "nababi". Sekuyisikhathi eside izazi zithi ukuthi izono zedolobha zazimayelana nokuziphatha kabi ngokobulili ngoba isixuku sazama ukudlwengula izingelosi ezimbili zesilisa uLoti owayelungisa emzini wakhe.
INkosi yayisa imvula yesibabule nomlilo ivela ezulwini phezu kweSodoma neGomora. Wachitha leyo mizi, ithafa lonke nabo bonke abakhileyo emadolobheni nalokho okwakume emhlabathini. (UGenesise 19: 24-25, KJV)
UNkulunkulu futhi wathinta abantu abaningana abafa eTestamenteni Elidala: Unkosikazi kaLoti; U-Eri, u-Onani, u-Abhihu noNadabi, u-Uza, uNabali noJerobowamu. ETestamenteni eNtsha, u-Ananiya kanye noSafira noHerode Agrippa bafa ngokushesha ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu.Bonke babemabi, ngokwencazelo ye-ISBE ngenhla.
Ukuqala kobubi kwaqala kanjani
Imibhalo efundisa ukuthi isono saqala ngokungalaleli komuntu Ensimini yase-Edene. Ngokukhetha, u-Eva, ngaleso sikhathi u-Adamu, wathatha indlela yakhe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Leyo modeli iye yaqhubeka emakhulwini eminyaka adlule. Lesi sono sokuqala, esazuzwa njengezizukulwane ngezizukulwane, siye sathinta wonke umuntu owake wazalwa.
Ebhayibhelini, ububi buhlotshaniswa nokukhulekelwa konkulunkulu babahedeni, ubufebe, ukucindezelwa kwabampofu nesihluku ezimpini. Yize umBhalo ufundisa ukuthi wonke umuntu uyisoni, bambalwa namuhla abazibiza ngababi. Ububi, noma okufana nakho kwesimanje, ububi buvame ukuhlotshaniswa nababulali abaningi, abadlwenguli be-serial, izidlakela zezingane nabathengisi bezidakamizwa - uma kuqhathaniswa, abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi balungile.
Kepha uJesu Kristu wafundisa okuhlukile. ENtshumayelweni yakhe yaseNtabeni, wafanisa imicabango nezinhloso ezimbi nezenzo:
Uzwile kuthiwa kubo ezinsukwini zakudala, ungabulali; futhi noma ubani obulala uyoba sengozini yokwahlulelwa: kepha mina ngithi kini: Noma ngubani othukuthelela umfowabo ngaphandle kwesizathu, uzoba sengozini yokwahlulelwa; futhi noma ngubani othi kumfowabo, uRaca, uyoba sengozini yomkhandlu: kodwa noma ngubani othi uyisiwula, uyoba sengozini yomlilo wesihogo. (UMathewu 5: 21-22, KJV)
UJesu ucela ukuthi sigcine yonke imiyalo, kusukela komkhulu kuye komncane. Ibeka indinganiso engenakwenzeka yokuthi abantu bahlangane:
Ngakho-ke yibani ngabaphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele. (UMathewu 5:48, KJV)
Ukusabela kukaNkulunkulu ebubini
Okuphambene nobubi ukwahlulela. Kepha njengoba uPawulu esho, "Njengoba kulotshiwe, akekho olungile, cha, akekho noyedwa". (KwabaseRoma 3: 10, KJV)
Abantu balahlekile ngokuphelele esonweni sabo, abakwazi ukuzisindisa. Ukuphela kwempendulo ebubini kufanele kuqhamuka kuNkulunkulu.
Kepha uNkulunkulu onothando angaba kanjani nomusa nolungile? Angazithethelela kanjani izoni ngokwanelisa isihe sakhe esiphelele futhi ajezise ububi ngokwanelisa ubulungisa bakhe obulungile?
Impendulo kwakuyicebo likaNkulunkulu lensindiso, umhlatshelo weNdodana yakhe okuwukuphela kwayo, uJesu Kristu, esiphambanweni ngenxa yezono zomhlaba. Umuntu ongenasono kuphela owayengafanelekela ukuba ngumhlatshelo onjalo; UJesu wayewukuphela komuntu ongenasono. Wathatha isijeziso sobubi bonke abantu. UZimu uBaba ukhombisile ukuthi uJesu ukwamukelile ukukhokhelwa ngokumvusa kwabafileyo.
Kodwa-ke, othandweni lwakhe oluphelele, uNkulunkulu akaphoqi muntu ukuba amlandele. Imibhalo ifundise ukuthi yilabo kuphela abathola isipho sakhe sensindiso ngokuthembela kuKristu njengoMsindisi abaya ezulwini. Lapho bekholelwa kuJesu, ubulungiswa bakhe bunikezwa kubo futhi uNkulunkulu akababoni njengababi, kodwa abangcwele. AmaKhristu awayeki ukona, kepha izono zawo zixolelwe, ezedlule, zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo, ngenxa kaJesu.
UJesu uxwayise kaninginingi ukuthi abantu abenqaba umusa kaNkulunkulu baya esihogweni lapho befa. Ububi babo bujeziswa. Isono asinakwa; ikhokhelwa iCalvary Cross noma yalabo abangaphenduki esihogweni.
Izindaba ezimnandi, ngokwevangeli, ukuthi ukuthethelelwa uNkulunkulu kutholakala kuwo wonke umuntu. UZimu ufuna boke abantu beze kuye. Imiphumela yobubi ayinakwenzeka ukuthi abantu bayigweme, kepha kuNkulunkulu kungenzeka noma yini.
