Zolemba zina za m’mbiri zimachitira umboni kuti atumwi khumi ndi aŵiri, ndipo ngakhale Mateyu, amene analoŵa m’malo mwa Yudasi, anali odya zamasamba, ndi kuti Akristu oyambirira anasala kudya nyama chifukwa cha chiyero ndi chifundo. Mwachitsanzo, St. John Chrysostom (345-407 AD), mmodzi wa oikira kumbuyo Chikhristu otchuka a m’nthawi yake analemba kuti: “Ife, atsogoleri a Tchalitchi chachikristu, timapewa kudya nyama kuti tikhale ogonjera thupi lathu. kudya nyama n’kosemphana ndi chilengedwe ndipo kumatidetsa.”
Clement waku Alexandria (AD 160-240 BC), mmodzi wa oyambitsa tchalitchi, mosakayikira anali ndi chikoka chachikulu pa Chrysostom, popeza pafupifupi zaka zana m’mbuyomo analemba kuti: “Sindichita manyazi kuitcha “chiwanda cha m’mimba,” choipitsitsa. a ziwanda. Ndi bwino kusamalira chisangalalo kusiyana ndi kusandutsa matupi anu kukhala manda a nyama. Choncho, mtumwi Mateyu ankangodya mbewu, mtedza ndi ndiwo zamasamba, popanda nyama.” Maulaliki Achifundo, omwe adalembedwanso m'zaka za zana la XNUMX AD, akukhulupirira kuti adachokera ku ulaliki wa St. Peter ndipo amadziwika kuti ndi amodzi mwa zolemba zakale kwambiri zachikhristu, kupatula Baibulo lokha. “Ulaliki Wachi XII” ukunena mosapita m’mbali kuti: “Kudya nyama yanyama mopanda chibadwa kumaipitsa mofanana ndi kulambira kwachikunja kwa ziŵanda, pamodzi ndi anthu amene amadya ziŵanda ndi mapwando odetsedwa, kukhala ndi phande m’menemo, munthu amakhala bwenzi la ziŵanda.” Ndife ndani kuti titsutsane ndi St. Peter? Komanso, pali kutsutsana pazakudya za St. Paulo, ngakhale kuti salabadira kwambiri chakudya m’malemba ake. Uthenga Wabwino 24:5 umanena kuti Paulo anali m’sukulu ya Nazarene, imene inkatsatira kwambiri mfundo, kuphatikizapo kusadya zamasamba. M’buku lake lakuti A History of Early Christianity, Mr. Edgar Goodspeed akulemba kuti masukulu oyambirira a Chikristu ankangogwiritsa ntchito Uthenga Wabwino wa Tomasi. Choncho, umboni umenewu ukutsimikizira kuti St. Tomasi nayenso anapewa kudya nyama. Kuonjezera apo, timaphunzira kuchokera kwa bambo wolemekezeka wa Mpingo, Euzebius (264-349 AD). BC), kunena za Hegesippus (c. 160 AD) kuti Yakobo, yemwe ambiri amamuona kuti ndi mbale wake wa Khristu, adapewanso kudya nyama. Komabe, mbiri imasonyeza kuti chipembedzo Chachikristu chinachoka pang’onopang’ono kuchoka ku magwero ake. Ngakhale kuti Abambo a Tchalitchi oyambirira ankatsatira zakudya zochokera ku zomera, Tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika chimakhutira ndi kulamula Akatolika kuti azisunga masiku osala kudya komanso kuti asadye nyama Lachisanu (pokumbukira imfa ya nsembe ya Khristu). Ngakhale lamuloli linakonzedwanso mu 1966, pamene Msonkhano wa Akatolika a ku America unaganiza kuti zinali zokwanira kuti okhulupirira asadye nyama pa Lachisanu la Great Lent. Magulu ambiri achikristu oyambirira ankafuna kuchotsa nyama m’zakudya. M'malo mwake, zolemba zakale kwambiri zamatchalitchi zimachitira umboni kuti kudya nyama kudaloledwa m'zaka za zana la XNUMX, pomwe Emperor Constantine adaganiza kuti Chikhristu chake chidzakhala chapadziko lonse lapansi. Ufumu wa Roma unavomereza mwalamulo kuŵerenga Baibulo lolola kudya nyama. Ndipo Akristu okonda zamasamba anakakamizika kusunga zikhulupiriro zawo mwachinsinsi pofuna kupeŵa kuneneza zampatuko. Akuti Constantine analamula kuti mtovu wosungunula utsanulidwe pakhosi pa anthu opezeka ndi mlandu wodya zamasamba. Akristu a m’zaka za m’ma 1225 mpaka 1274 anali Thomas Aquinas (XNUMX-XNUMX) kuti kupha nyama kunali kololedwa ndi chitsogozo cha Mulungu. Mwinamwake lingaliro la Aquinas linasonkhezeredwa ndi zokonda zake zaumwini, popeza kuti, ngakhale kuti anali waluso ndipo m’njira zambiri wodziletsa, olemba mbiri ya moyo wake amamlongosolabe kukhala munthu wonyada kwambiri. Inde, Aquinas ndi wotchukanso chifukwa cha chiphunzitso chake cha mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya miyoyo. Iye ananena kuti, nyama zilibe miyoyo. N’zochititsa chidwi kuti Aquinas ankaonanso kuti akazi alibe mzimu. Zoona, popeza kuti Mpingo potsirizira pake anamvera chisoni ndipo anavomereza kuti akazi akadali ndi moyo, Aquinas monyinyirika anasiya, kunena kuti akazi sitepe imodzi apamwamba kuposa nyama, amene ndithudi alibe moyo. Atsogoleri ambiri achikhristu atengera izi. Komabe, ndi phunziro lachindunji la Baibulo, kumawonekeratu kuti nyama zili ndi moyo: Ndi kwa zirombo zonse za dziko lapansi, ndi mbalame zonse za m’mlengalenga, ndi za zokwawa zonse za pansi, mmene moyo uliri. ndi wamoyo, ndinapatsa zitsamba zonse zobiriwira zikhale cakudya (Gen. 1: 30). Malinga ndi a Reuben Alkelei, m'modzi mwa akatswiri odziwa bwino zilankhulo zachihebri ndi Chingerezi m'zaka za zana la XNUMX komanso wolemba The Complete Hebrew-English Dictionary, mawu achihebri enieni omwe ali pavesili ndi nefesh ("soul") ndi chayah ("moyo"). Ngakhale kuti matembenuzidwe ofala a Baibulo kaŵirikaŵiri amamasulira mawu ameneŵa mongoti “moyo” ndipo motero amatanthauza kuti nyama sizimakhala ndi “moyo”, kumasulira kolondola kumavumbula zosiyana kwambiri ndi zimenezi: Mosakayikira zinyama zili ndi moyo, koma malinga ndi kunena kwa Baibulo. .
