UJesu nguNkulunkulu

AMA-Muslim kholwani ukuthi Ungumprofethi. OFakazi BakaJehova, ukuthi WayenguMikayeli ingelosi enkulu. Abanye, ukuthi Ungumuntu nje womlando, kanti abanye, inganekwane nje.

Kodwa uJesu unguNkulunkulu.

Ukufundwa kweBhayibheli okukhethiwe kuphela, noma ukuhlanekezelwa kweZwi elilotshiwe ngamabomu, okushintsha lokho okubhalwe ngokucacile. Ngemva kwenkulumo-mpikiswano ende namaJuda, yilapho kuphela uJesu eveza owakhe ngokuqinisekile identity ukuthi ngokuphazima kweso bafuna ukumkhanda ngamatshe.

Amen, amen, Ngithi kini, ngaphambi kokuba u-Abrahama abe khona, NGIKHONA. (Ivangeli Lanamuhla)

UJesu usebenzisa igama elithi “NGIKHONA”, elisho ngesiHebheru Jehova—igama uNkulunkulu azinika lona phambi kukaMose eSinayi:

NGINGUYE ENGINGUYE. ( Eks 3:14 )

Ngakho kwaba ukuhlambalaza kumaJuda angakholwa afuna ngokushesha ukumbulala. Baba nelinye ithuba eNsimini yaseGetsemane, lapho futhi, uJesu asebenzisa igama Yaweh kuYe—futhi ngokungena okuncane kwabalaleli Bakhe:

“Ufuna bani?” Bamphendula bathi: “UJesu waseNazaretha.” Wathi kubo, “NGINGUYE”… Lapho ethi kubo, “NGIKHONA,” baphenduka bawela phansi. ( Johane 18:5-6 )

Iqiniso lokuthi uJesu, “iZwi likaNkulunkulu”, wayekhona ngaphambi kwendalo yonke lachazwa ngokucacile ngumphostoli uJohane, owavula iVangeli lakhe ethi:

Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, futhi uLizwi wayenoNkulunkulu, futhi uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu. (UJohn 1: 1)

Futhi encwadini kaJohane ye-Apocalypse, uJesu usebenzisa isiqu esasetshenziswa uNkulunkulu encwadini ka-Isaya lapho ethi, “Ngingowokuqala, ngingowokugcina; akekho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.” ^[1]cf. Isaya 44:6 Izikhathi eziningana, uJesu wasebenzisa isiqu esifanayo:

Ungesabi. ngingowokuqala nowokugcina. (IsAm 1:17; bheka futhi 1:8; 2:8; kanye no-22:12–13)

Ngokuphawulekayo, ngaphandle kokumbona uJesu, u-Elisabethe wamchaza ngokwesiprofetho umntwana owayesesiswini sikamzala wakhe uMariya, embiza ngokuthi “Nkosi yami.” ^[2]isib. Luk 1:43 UPawulu oNgcwele ufakazela ukuthi uJesu weza “esesimweni sikaNkulunkulu.” ^[3]isib. Fil 2:6 Futhi lapho uTomase ebeka iminwe yakhe ohlangothini lukaKristu ngemva kokuvuka Kwakhe, uJesu akamthethisi lapho uTomase ememeza, “Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!” ^[4]isib. Joh 20:28 Ngempela, lapho uJohane ewa phansi ukuze akhulekele ingelosi embonisa izambulo ezimangalisayo azilobile, ingelosi iyamvimba ithi: “Ungakwenzi! Ngiyinceku kanye nawe..." ^[5]isib. IsAm 22:8

Yebo, uma uke wema emnyango noFakazi BakaJehova, ngokushesha uzoqala ukubona ukuthi le miBhalo isontwa futhi ihlanekezelwa kanjani ukuze isho into engeyona. Ngakho-ke umbuzo uba ngempela, iBandla lokuqala lalikholelwani ngaphambi kokuba iBhayibheli libe khona ekhulwini lesi-4?

U-Ignatius, obizwa nangokuthi uTheophorus, ebandleni lase-Efesu e-Asiya... wakhethwa ngokuhlupheka kweqiniso ngentando kaBaba kuJesu Kristu uNkulunkulu wethu... Ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu, uJesu Kristu, wakhulelwa ngoMariya.. —U-Ignatius wase-Antiyokiya (AD 110) Incwadi eya kwabase-Efesu, 1, 18: 2

...UJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu noNkulunkulu noMsindisi neNkosi yethu... —USt. U-Irenaeus, Ngokumelene namaHlubies 1:10:1, (AD 189)

Nguye kuphela kokubili uNkulunkulu nomuntu, nomthombo wazo zonke izinto zethu ezinhle. - UClement wase-Alexandria, Isikhuthazo kumaGreki 1:7:1, (AD 190)

Nakuba ayenguNkulunkulu, wathatha inyama; futhi esenziwe umuntu, wahlala lokho ayeyikho: uNkulunkulu. - Origen, Izimfundiso Eziyisisekelo, 1:0:4, (AD 225).

Ngempela, uNkulunkulu owenza isivumelwano no-Abrahama wehla Yena enyameni ukuze alethe isivumelwano esisha nesiphakade—uJesu, umuntu wesibili kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele.

Yena, uJehova, unguNkulunkulu wethu… (IHubo Lanamuhla)
