Abstract

Artikel ini adalah membahas mengenai dampak penikahan kerabat terhadap kesehatan tubuh dalam perspektif alkitab berdasarkan tinjauan teologis dalam imamat 18: 6 di mana pembatasan masalah yang penulis teliti ialah melihat fokus pada interpretasi alkitab dalam Imamat 18:6 tentang pernikahan kerabat, di mana kata שְׁאֵר (bâśâr) merujuk kepada kerabat sedaging, yang artinya sedarah, ibu yang sama dan ayah yang sama haruslah menjaga kekudusan dengan tidak memperlihatkan bagian intim tubuh, dan tidak boleh menyentuh atau melakukan hubungan badan sementara itu perlu juga umtuk melihat dampak implikasi biologis-genetik dari pernikahan kerabat. Tentu saja dampaknya sangat mengerikan di mana riset membuktikan praktek ini sebagian besar melahirkan keturuan yang kebanyakan cacat secara fisik dan mental, bukan hanya itu, hal ini juga satu kekejian di hadapan Allah di masa sekarang ini.

Abstract

During a pandemic, the body's immune system is vital because it is the body's immune system that plays a role in fighting viruses and helping the body recover. The heart and mind are very influential on the body's immune system. Proverbs 17:22 records that the human heart and mind are persuasive. Based on this background, the purpose of this paper is to prove the truth of Proverbs 17:22 about a happy heart as a scientifically proven medicine that can affect the body's immune system. Then, Proverbs 17:22 can be implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this study is a qualitative method whose results are explained narratively with data collection techniques through literature study. The biblical text used as the basis will be interpreted using the hermeneutic approach. The results obtained from this study are that the text of Proverbs 17:22 can be scientifically proven. A happy heart and a good state of mind will increase the body's immune system to become the body's natural medicine. Vice versa, a heart filled with sadness and stress will trigger a weakening of the immune system to be vulnerable to disease. Thus the text of Proverbs 17:22 can be implemented or applied during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study investigates the theological, pastoral, leadership and relational aspects of the pastor's ministry, which are reflected in the activeness of congregation members in the church's mission of evangelization. The descriptive literature study method was used to assess these aspects. The research results show that pastors must have a strong theological understanding, social sensitivity, the ability to build strong relationships with the congregation, and the ability to be a transformational leader. This study shows that the motivations of faith, love, and obedience to God's commands influence the activeness of congregation members in evangelistic missions. Through direct involvement in mission activities, pastors function as agents of transformation and serve as role models in building an evangelical culture in the church. This study increases our understanding of the complex relationship between the quality of pastors' ministry and congregation members' participation in church evangelism. Some practical consequences of these findings include establishing new methods to enhance the pastor's role in guiding and motivating congregations and creating an environment that supports participation in the church's evangelistic mission.

Abstract

This study analyses the phrase ‘Holy Spirit’ in the formulation of the Trinity (‘Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’) through a linguistic approach, especially semantics and pragmatics, by referring to the New Testament texts. The research method used is qualitative with a literature observation strategy using the theory of Linguistic Purism. The study results indicate that the term 'Holy Spirit' (Ἁγίoυ Πνεύματος) is neuter-gendered (Greek) or feminine-masculine (Hebrew), unlike other terms denoting the Godhead, which are exclusively male. The use of the neuter pronoun (αὐτό) in John 14:17 and the depiction of the Spirit as part of Christ (Revelation 5:6) reinforce that the Holy Spirit is not distinct, but rather a manifestation of the Spirit of God/Christ. The Trinitarian clause in 1 John 5:7 is not found in pre-16th century manuscripts, suggesting it is an interpolation to support the doctrine of the Trinity. The statement of the Trinity in Matthew 28:19 is regarded as a potential post-Nicene insertion, given that New Testament baptisms only invoke the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38; 19:5). Nonetheless, even if the verse holds validity, the constative concept within Illocutionary Acts elucidates pragmatically that the Holy Spirit is not the third person of the Trinity, but rather the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ Himself. This discovery differs from conventional interpretations and presents a more linguistic viewpoint, which is not used as the basic foundation for the formation of the doctrine of the Trinity in Christianity.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the theological meaning of Psalm 84:2, 3, and 5 and how it relates to understanding the presence of Generations Y and Z in Sabbath worship, especially within the Northern Sabah Mission. By using an exegetical approach to the Hebrew and Greek texts, along with expert interpretations and the historical background of Psalm 84. In today’s context, the study highlights several reasons why younger generations are less involved in Sabbath worship. These include personal and spiritual struggles, worship formats that feel outdated or irrelevant, digital distractions, and church leadership styles that don’t adapt well to modern changes. This research recommends a more holistic and contextual pastoral approach, including: deeper and more personal spiritual mentoring; worship services that are inclusive and meaningful without losing theological depth; building communities that are relational and allow participation, and using digital media as a new space for faith-building and sharing the gospel. Furthermore, actively involving young people in church ministry is seen as key to shaping their spiritual identity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the quality of church events and church activities on the spiritual growth of youth in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Palu, based on the biblical principle of Proverbs 22:6. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with a survey method involving 121 youth respondents. The research instruments passed validity and reliability tests. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that both the quality of church events (X1) and church activities (X2) have a positive and significant effect on spiritual growth (Y). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.553, indicating that 55.3% of the variance in spiritual growth is explained by the two independent variables. These findings underscore the importance of the church in organizing high-quality and participatory programs to nurture the faith and spiritual character of young people. The application of Proverbs 22:6 serves as the theological foundation for designing effective and contextually relevant youth spiritual development strategies.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the implementation of liturgy, fasting, and prayer on the spiritual growth of the congregation in the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) in the South Simalungun One District. The primary objective is to understand, analyze, and examine how the practices of liturgy, fasting, and prayer influence spiritual development. The research employs descriptive analysis and causal relationship testing, with data collected from the actual conditions of the studied population. It examines the relationship between independent variables (liturgy, fasting, and prayer) and the dependent variable (spiritual growth). Findings reveal that the practice of liturgy has a strong correlation with spiritual growth—greater participation in liturgical practices contributes significantly to the development of the congregation’s spirituality. Similarly, the practices of fasting and prayer are shown to have a substantial impact on spiritual development. The study indicates that engaging in fasting and prayer can lead believers to grow significantly in their faith and spirituality.In conclusion, liturgy, fasting, and prayer all positively contribute to the spiritual growth of the congregation. Faithfulness in service (liturgy), practicing fasting, and engaging in prayer encourage the congregation to grow spiritually, strengthen their faith, and live in love toward God and others, rooted in the love of Christ.
