Abstract

Authority is always attached to a leader, including church leaders. However, the problem is that there are some leaders who abuse authority for their own interests. There are also other leaders who cannot use an authority in determining doctrinal and ethical matters. Therefore, this study aims to explain the authority of the disciples to bind and release the law in Matthew 16:19 and its implications for today's church leaders. This research method is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach based on a literature study. The results of the study show that the authority was given by God to expand His kingdom on earth so church leaders must use this gift for His glory and improve the quality of the congregation that God has entrusted to him.

Abstract

Marriage is a conscious choice and becomes one of the essential things in the journey of human life. Therefore, every couple who decides to start a household life brings their own needs, desires and aspirations, including the desire to have children. But the problem is there are married couples who are not blessed with children. If this is related to Christian marriage, how does the Christian faith respond to it? This paper explores the command to be fruitful and multiply in Genesis 1: 28. The method used is hermeneutic with a socio-historical approach to look at the text's origins so that the text's application is in accordance with the context. The results of the study show that the background of Genesis 1: 28 cannot be separated from the events of the life of the Jewish nation (Israel) when they had just returned from exile supported by the Persian empire. As leaders, the priests of Zadok needed many descendants to retrieve inherited land, manage land to revive the economy and pay taxes for the benefit of the lives of the Zadok priests and servants in the temple cult. Based on this, the purpose of Christian marriage is not for that, so physical offspring in Christian marriage is not absolute. The physical birth of offspring in a Christian marriage is a divine mystery. Therefore, a Christian couple with no heart need not feel guilty, let alone think they did not fulfil the commandment in Genesis 1: 28.
