Abstract

Building and moving ponds or ancestral graves in the Toba Batak community, who have become Christians, is still practised today. The practice of building ponds is, of course, contrary to God's word, for that it needs to be responded to theologically and is the goal of this research. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method by reviewing the literature related to the research topic and reporting the findings in a description. The study results are as follows: First, building a pond with the motivation of asking for blessings from the ancestors is an act of sin. The gift of both physical and spiritual life comes from God and not the spirits of the ancestors. Second, moving and caring for ponds is wrong to prevent sickness and family quarrels because Christ bore all curses and diseases on the cross. Third, building a pond as a tribute to parents is wrong. The fifth commandment in Exodus 20:12 concerns respect for parents. It cannot be opposed to supporting the practice of building ponds. The substance of this verse is not only related to relations between humans but concerns God's blessing for His people to glorify God, the Creator, not ancestral spirits.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the contextual mission construction using the concept of Jubata to introducing the concept of the Trinity in a biblical view to Dayak Tanayatn people This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to identify how the Kanayatn Dayak understand the Jubata figure. The results show that through the adaptative method and using the seven Jubata names in the Kanayatn Dayak language to understanding the concept of the Triune God in biblical view and change the understanding of the survivors' sacrifices to be understood as worldly salvation, not eternal in nature through the image of Jubata (which is equated with the spirit of the ancestors) but is directed to one of God's persons in the Trinity of God the Son (Jesus Christ) as the Savior of mankind. Thus, the contextual mission construction of the Jubata concept in the introduction of the Gospel of the Triune God can be a reference material for carrying out outreach missions to remote tribes and building contextual mission studies that are culturally appropriate to spread the Gospel amongĀ  the Kanayatn Dayak tribe in Landak, West Kalimantan.
