Abstract

In a number of ways, the epistle to the Hebrews is a unique letter among the New Testament epistles because of its Jewish nuance and emphasis on the Mosaic Covenant. The author quotes and alludes to Old Testament texts in a variety of ways, which has aroused great interest for many theologians. The theological themes of the letter have also resulted in much study, particularly when one attempts to apply these unique themes to the present-day church. This study focuses on six of these themes (God, Christ, Priest, Covenant, Endurance, and Faith) and their significance for the current church contexts. A text analysis research method is employed to exegete various texts. In accordance with many other studies on the subject, this study also concludes that the epistle to the Hebrews is profoundly Christocentric. Christ is the primary focus in all the letter’s emphases. The writer of Hebrews seeks to explain the superiority of the New Covenant, and how the Old Testament was ultimately focused on and fulfilment through Christ.

Abstract

This study explores how members of the Dayak Tunjung Christian community in Lamin Telihan, East Kalimantan, continue to practise and affirm traditional beliefs in reincarnation (Suli) and ritual healing (Belian) despite their formal affiliation with the Evangelical Christian Church (GKII). The research aims to understand the dynamics of religious identity negotiation between institutional Christianity and local cosmological frameworks that have long shaped the community’s worldview. Using a qualitative approach and grounded theory methodology, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes involving traditional leaders, church members, and community elders. The findings reveal that Suli and Belian persist not merely as residual pre-Christian practices but as active, meaningful expressions of lived religion that contribute to spiritual resilience and cultural continuity. These practices function as alternative frameworks for interpreting life, death, and healing—often offering more inclusive and contextually relevant narratives than doctrinal Christian eschatology. The study shows that religious conversion among the Dayak Tunjung is not a linear or total rupture from the past but a layered process of hybridisation and negotiation. The research contributes to scholarship on syncretism, vernacular religion, and ethical pluralism by presenting a unique Indonesian case where indigenous cosmologies coexist with global religious structures. This originality lies in its focus on reincarnation within a Christian setting—a subject rarely explored in Southeast Asian contexts—highlighting the adaptive and dialogical nature of religiosity in multicultural societies.

Abstract

In this article, the authors analyze the choice of the word "grant" in 1 John 5:14-15 as the translation of the word ἀκούει. The authors argue that the word "grant" is a poor translation choice because it has nothing to do with granting prayer. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the authors identify several arguments that require the use of the word "grant" in Terjemahan Baru to be reviewed. Specifically, the authors argue that the use of the word "grant" in 1 John 5:14-15 can mislead readers into understanding God as a God who will definitely grant prayers.

Abstract

The purpose of writing this thesis is to find out the meaning of the phrase “help bear your burdens,” based on Galatians 6:1-5. The research method used is a qualitative research method with inductive reasoning, using an exegesis approach through the application of the principles and methods of Biblical Hermeneutics by Hasan Sutanto. After doing the research, the writer came to the following conclusions: First, the meaning of the phrase help bear your burdens is a form of command to believers who accidentally slip into a violation because they take the wrong step in his faith. Fellowship of believers must help bear the heavy burdens of fellow transgressors, so that he has greater and faster opportunites to recover from his transgressions (6:1b), so that in the end he returns to true faith and experiences spiritual growth in Jesus Christ. Second, the meaning of the phrase help bear your burdens states that Paul’s command in verse 2a and his statement in verse 5, do not contradict each other. Third, the meaning of the phrase help bear your burdens reveals God’s truth about the call of life for believers to bear two kinds of burdens in life. The first burden is a burden that must be borne together as a community, because it is very burdensome and cannot be borne alone (6:2a). Then the second burden is the work of service that God has given to each believer to bear (6:5).

Abstract

The basic diificulty in understanding the text is understanding the role of the devil who destroys the body but aims to save the soul of the person who is handed over to the devil which is very contrary to the goal of the devil who wants to destroy humans so that they experience eternal death instead of saving the soul. The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of handing people over to the devil in the text of 1 Corinthians 5:1-13. In addition, the author also explains the implications of the text for believers today. This study uses a grammatical-historical hermeneutic study method. The result of the author's study is that the concept of handing people over to the Devil in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 is an act of the congregation by exercising church discipline against church members who have not left their sins and aims to provide a deterrent effect. Meanwhile, the implementation of the concept of handing people over to the Devil/demons in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 is that believers live in a commitment to holiness, carry out church discipline as the identity of the holy people, and carry out church discipline as the authority of the congregation. Kesulitan dasar dalam memahami teks tersebut ialah memahami peran Iblis yang membinasakan tubuh namun bertujuan untuk keselamatan roh atas orang yang diserahkan kepada Iblis yang sangat bertentangan dengan tujuan Iblis yang mau membinasakan manusia agar mengalami kematian kekal bukan keselamatan roh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah mengkaji konsep menyerahkan orang kepada Iblis dalam teks 1 Korintus 5:1-13. Selain itu, penulis juga menjelaskan implikasi teks bagi orang percaya pada masa kini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kajian hermeneutik gramatikal-historis. Hasil kajian penulis ialah konsep menyerahkan orang kepada Iblis dalam 1 Korintus 5:1-13 adalah tindakan jemaat dengan menjalankan disiplin gereja terhadap anggota jemaat yang belum meninggalkan dosanya dan bertujuan memberikan efek jera. Adapun, implikasi dari konsep menyerahkan orang kepada Iblis/setan dalam 1 Korintus 5:1-13 ialah orang percaya hidup dalam komitmen kekudusan, menjalankan disiplin gereja sebagai identitas umat yang kudus, serta menjalankan disiplin gereja sebagai wewenang jemaat.
