Udaba NgokuVuka KukaKristuIsampula

Impendulo Yabagxeki Bovuko  

Enye yezinsolo ezaphakanyiswa abagxeki ngokumelene nokuvuswa kukaKristu ukuthi "uKristu akafanga ngempela esiphambanweni!" Leli cala selaziwa ngokuthi "inkolelo-mbono yokucwila". Umbono uthi uJesu waquleka noma waquleka ngenxa yokukhathala, ubuhlungu nokulahlekelwa igazi eliningi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho ebekwa ethuneni, ngandlela-thile wavuselelwa ngenxa yokuphola noma umswakama wethuna. Kamuva, lapho ephaphama, waphuma futhi wabonakala kubafundi bakhe, ababecabanga ngephutha ukuthi inkosi yabo yayivukile kwabafileyo!

Ngokuphambene nalo mbono, umuntu udinga ukuqaphela ukuthi ngokwesiko lamaRoma, ababulali baseRoma kwakuzodingeka bakhokhe ngokuphila kwabo, uma isiboshwa seqa esandleni sabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulandisa kwamaVangeli kufakazela iqiniso lokuthi uJesu wayefile esiphambanweni futhi lokhu kwaqinisekiswa isosha elingumRoma elaqinisekisa ngokumgwaza ngomkhonto ohlangothini okwaphumela ekugobhozeni kwegazi namanzi. Kungemva kwalesi siqinisekiso lapho amasosha ebona khona ukuthi asikho isidingo sokumephula ukuze asheshe afe. 

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-swoon theory izwakala inengqondo, kuze kube yilapho ucabanga imibuzo ebaluleke kakhulu futhi injalo:

A. Kungenzeka yini ukukholelwa ukuthi ngabe waphila izinsuku ezintathu ethuneni elimanzi, ngaphandle kokudla, amanzi kanye nokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha?

B. Ingabe wayeyosinda lapho elimele egqoke izingubo zamathuna ezigcwele izinongo?

C. Ingabe wayeyoba nawo amandla okuzikhulula ezingutsheni zasethuneni?

D. Ingabe wayengalisusa itshe elisindayo emlonyeni wethuna futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo anqobe abalindi baseRoma?

E. Yikuphi okwakuzolandela okwakuzodingeka ahambe amakhilomitha amaningi ngezinyawo ezazihlatshwe ngezikhonkwane? Le mibuzo neminye eminingi ithumela inselele enkulu kulo mbono. 

Eqinisweni, ngalo mbono, kuzoba nemibuzo eminingi kunezimpendulo efuna ukuphendula mayelana novuko. Umgxeki waseJalimane uDavid Strauss ongakholelwa nhlobo ovukweni, encwadini yakhe ethi "The Life of Jesus for the People" uyabhala: “Akunakwenzeka ukuthi lowo owayesanda kuphuma ethuneni eseshonile, owanyonyoba kwababuthakathaka nabagulayo, ababedinga ukwelashwa, ukubhandishwa, ukuqiniswa, nokunakekelwa, futhi ekugcineni wanqotshwa ukuhlupheka, wayenganikeza abafundi umbono wokuthi ungumnqobi phezu kokufa nethuna; ukuthi wayeyiNkosi yokuphila. Lokhu kwakusekugcineni kwenkonzo yabo yesikhathi esizayo. Ukuvuka okunjalo kwakungenza kuphela kube buthaka umbono ayewenze kubo ekuphileni nasekufeni—noma kakhulu, kwakunganikeza ngezwi elimnandi—kodwa kwakungeke neze kuguqule ukudabuka kwabo kube umdlandla noma kukhuphule inhlonipho yabo ibe yintshiseko yokukhonza.”
