Abstrak: Persekutuan merupakan suatu panggilan Gereja dalam misinya didunia, karena dengan persekutuan itu manusia bisa mengenal Allah dan hidup didalam Allah. Persekutuan sendiri terkadang orang mengidentikkannya hanya terjadi didalam Gereja saja, sehingga ketika diluar Gereja hanyalah sebatas hubungan relasional semata. Secara khusus, dalam konteks Toraja terdapat sebuah tradisi yaitu ma’kombongan yang dimana tradisi ini merupakan tradisi turun-temurun dalam menjalin relasi antar sesama, dan juga menolong sesama dengan cara bergotong-royong dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan dan pekerjaan. Dari perspektif penulis sendiri, melihat tradisi tersebut sebuah refleksi persekutuan yang bukan hanya tercipta dalam sebuah Gereja tetapi persekutuan yang tercipta antar sesama melalui kebudayaan. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yaitu deskriptif, dan melakukan pengumpulan data dengan wawancara pada yang bersangkutan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini, ingin menemukan makna dan nilai dari tradisi ma’kombongan sebagai sebuah refleksi koinonia yang perlu diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bergereja. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tradisi ma’kombongan merupakan sebuah tradisi yang memiliki makna dan nilai dimana orang menjalin kerjasama karena tidak bisa dilakukan secara personal, orang menjalin moderasi beragama, dan juga menjadi sebuah persekutuan yang komprehensif yang menjangkau semua orang tanpa terkecuali. Jadi persekutuan tidak hanya dilihat bahwa itu terjadi dalam Gereja, tetapi persekutuan yang Yesus inginkan adalah persekutuan yang komprehensif dan menjangkau semua orang. Tradisi ma’kombongan perlu untuk dikonservasi agar tetap terpelihara dan menjadi sumber edukasi dalam berbangsa dan bernegara yang berbasis kearifan lokal.

Identitas Gereja Genetik dari Israel

Risno Tampilang — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has had a global impact, including in Indonesia, with the emergence of the discourse of “brothers in faith” which has the potential to increase tensions. This study proposes the thesis that this discourse in the New Testament needs to be re-examined through a postcolonial perspective, because it has the potential to perpetuate colonialism based on the genetic linkage of identity. The aim is to conduct a postcolonial critique of the understanding that is too Israel-centric and to develop a more inclusive theology. Methodologically, this study uses a descriptive qualitative study and a postcolonial approach. The results of the analysis show that the historical and theological ties between Christians and Jews/Israel often lead to uncritical support for modern Israeli policies. The church needs to deconstruct exclusive understandings and develop a more balanced perspective on contemporary understandings. In conclusion, the church must shift from exclusive identity to an inclusive-humanist understanding as an agent of transformation that fights for justice for all parties. Further research is recommended to explore the practical implementation of this inclusive theology in the context of the local church.

Man's fall into sin resulted in the human soul being vulnerable and fragile. If not addressed immediately, it will cause social problems. Returning something to its original condition is the goal of restoration. Not only God, individual participation is the main key to turning things around. Instead of demanding that circumstances change, what is more important is to change your personal perspective in dealing with problems, and that is personal responsibility. This process is called self-healing. By using intrapersonal communication methods, an individual is able to become the best healer for himself. Reflecting on the experience of a psalmist in Psalm 42, psychological values are implied that can be applied in today's life to reduce psychological illnesses, such as depression. Through an exegetical approach and integrating it with psychology, a coping mechanism can be formulated that can help believers to carry out self-healing, as first aid.

Tinjauan Kritis Terhadap Konsep Agama Sebagai Institusi Sosial dalam Ide Moderasi di Indonesia

Marianus Rago Kristeno, Teresia Noiman Derung — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 16:56:43 +0000

Religion has an important role in the lives of Indonesian society as a social institution that functions to maintain social stability. Amidst the diversity of cultures, languages, traditions and religions, conflict and intolerance often arise as challenges to the role of religion in society. Conflict situations that occur due to differences in religious views or understanding often become obstacles to carrying out the role of religion as a social institution. This research aims to examine the concept of religious moderation as an effort to overcome social conflict and discrimination in relation to the role of religion as a social institution. Using qualitative descriptive methods and literature study techniques, this research analyzes themes related to religious moderation and the role of religion from various literary sources so that conclusions can be drawn regarding the role of religion which tries to carry out its function through religious moderation in Indonesia. The research results show that although religion, which is a community belief system, has a significant role in instilling social values, rigid traditional views often hinder inclusiveness and tolerance. This traditional view hinders the implementation of religious moderation which aims to create social harmony, so that religion as a social institution cannot carry out its role. Therefore, the concept of religious moderation needs to be developed as an implementation of the role of religion so that society can live in peace.

Memaknai Penderitaan Orang Hidup dalam Kristus dalam Kitab Ayub

Evi Mariani, Robert Betaubun — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 17:04:57 +0000

The background of this paper is to present thinking as an activity for interpreting the story of Job through a life in constant suffering. Thinking about suffering is not a new idea in theological circles, but it has always existed, and even suffering is considered an inseparable part of happiness. For this reason, suffering, which is often reflected in cross-cutting ways, becomes a problem when looking at different perspectives of theology, especially those that talk about suffering and hope in the case of Job's life. The story of Job offers insight that suffering is not always synonymous with punishment, but can be a test of faith or a means of spiritual growth. This message is very relevant in the modern era, especially in the face of a crisis situation such as the pandemic, where Christians are reminded to see suffering as part of the divine plan. From an academic perspective, an analysis of Job's suffering expands the discussion on the theology of retribution, by showing the relationship between God and humans as more dynamic than transactional. This understanding can encourage a more mature response of faith in facing life's challenges. The purpose of this study is to find the meaning of humanity and faith, theological retribution, and the mystery of God for human beings in the history of wisdom literature in the Books of Job and the Psalms. This research method is qualitative research with literary study. The results showed that God's justice, though seemingly unjust, is for Jacob and people today a form of God's participation with all love, which is as complete as possible by including suffering as an integral part of the self. Thus, God's wisdom as an emanation of love for every people and creation is a space of reality for people who are far from justice, prosperity, well-being, health and peace.

Analisis Ucapan Hukuman Ilahi Terhadap Para Imam Dalam Maleakhi 2:1-3 Yang Berimplikasi Pada Keputusan Orang Percaya

Aska Aprilano Pattinaja, Farel Yosua Sualang — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 17:17:37 +0000

There are two groups of scholars who discuss Malachi 2:1-3 from different perspectives, namely, the divine perspective and the priestly perspective. These two views have led to the fallacy of dichotomizing the intent of the divine utterance. This article comprehensively correlates these two perspectives, which have implications for believers' decisions, based on the hermeneutic method of studying prophetic literature in the sub-genre of catastrophic prophecy. This article finds that the influence of divine punitive speech has great implications for the factors that influence believers' decisions, namely First, the Listening Factor, which discusses the decision to direct our hearing to the Word of God; Second, the Attention Factor, which discusses the decision to specifically and deliberately provide a sincere heart to fellowship and glorify God; and Third, the Honoring God's Name Factor, as an effect of the previous two factors, which makes every believer choose to honor God's name. The results of this study serve as a warning to every believer, especially to servants of God and ministers in the church as serving priests.
