Abstract

In the Bible it is often found a difficult part to understand, especially in this paper about the plan of the Lord who wanted to kill Moses. Even if you look deeper, Moses is a person sent by the LORD to free the nation of Israel from occupation in Egypt. This section needs to be examined more deeply, so that it can be searched for what is the basis of this action of the Lord, and at the same time what theological meanings are contained in this section, which are also relevant to present life. Through word study research efforts, it can be found that the plan of the Lord to kill Moses was not a playful plan, but it was a truly serious plan. But all these plans could be failed because Zipporah, the wife of Moses, succeeded in making atonement with the LORD through the foreskin of Moses 'son who was affixed to Moses' pubic. This indicates that the Lord's plan occurred because Moses was negligent in keeping his holiness, which is to circumcise his child. Holiness is the most important thing in carrying out all forms of service and call of God. If this holiness was ignored, then it could be that the Lord's plan to send someone turned into the anger of the LORD against the one sent.Abstrak: Dalam Alkitab seringkali dijumpai bagian yang sulit untuk dipahami. Terkait dengan tulisan ini, bagian yang sangat sulit itu adalah tentang rencana TUHAN yang hendak membunuh Musa. Padahal kalau dilihat lebih dalam lagi, Musa adalah orang yang diutus oleh TUHAN untuk membebaskan bangsa Israel dari kerja paksa di Mesir. Bagian ini perlu untuk diteliti lebih dalam lagi, agar dapat dicari apa yang menjadi dasar dari tindakan TUHAN ini, dan sekaligus ditarik makna teologi apa yang terkandung dalam bagian ini, yang juga relevan bagi kehidupan sekarang. Melalui studi kata, maka dapat dijumpai bahwa rencana TUHAN membunuh Musa bukanlah rencana yang main-main, tetapi merupakan rencana yang memang sungguh-sungguh. Namun semua rencana itu dapat digagal-kan karena ada Zipora, istri Musa, yang berhasil mengadakan upaya ‘pendamaian’ dengan TUHAN melalui kulit khatan anak Musa yang ditempelkan ke ‘kemaluan’ Musa. Ini menandakan bahwa rencana TUHAN itu terjadi karena Musa telah lalai dalam menjaga kekudusan dirinya, yaitu menyunatkan anaknya. Kekudusan meru-pakan hal terpenting dalam menjalankan segala bentuk pelayanan dan panggilan TUHAN. Apabila kekudusan ini diabaikan, maka bisa saja rencana TUHAN mengutus seseorang berubah menjadi kemarahan TUHAN terhadap yang diutus.

Abstract

Homosexuality is often seen as deviant and abnormal actions, and therefore must be avoided and avoided. Actions away from homosexuality have an impact on homosexuals getting the stigma of sinners and ultimately being marginalized by the existing social system, including the church. There is an injustice felt by homosexuals. This problem is the main focus in this article. By using qualitative methodologies, specifically by studying various literatures as material for analysis and then responding to the problems set forth in the form of narratives, the authors try to build ethical-Christian attitudes toward homosexuals. Ethically - Christianity, the practice of homosexuality is an unacceptable act, but against homosexual actors, the church must dare to accept them as brothers because their existence as human beings is the same, namely as 'imago Dei’. AbstrakHomoseksualitas seringkali dipandang sebagai tindakan yang menyimpang dan abnormal, oleh sebab itu harus dijauhi dan dihindari. Tindakan menjauhi homoseksualitas berdampak kepada kaum homoseksual mendapat stigma kaum berdosa dan akhirnya dimarginalisasikan oleh sistem kemasyarakatan yang ada, termasuk gereja. Ada ketidakadilan yang dirasakan oleh kaum homoseksual. Masalah inilah yang menjadi sorotan utama dalam artikel ini. Dengan menggunakan metodologi kualitatif, khususnya dengan memelajari berbagai literatur sebagai bahan analisis kemudian menanggapi masalah yang dituangkan dalam bentuk narasi, penulis berusaha membangun sikap etis – Kristiani terhadap pelaku homoseksualitas. Secara etis – Kristiani, praktik homoseksualitas adalah tindakan yang tidak bisa diterima, namun terhadap para pelaku (kaum) homoseksual, gereja harus berani menerima mereka sebagai seorang saudara karena keberadaan mereka sebagai manusia adalah sama, yaitu sebagai ‘gambar dan rupa Allah’.

Abstract

Mystical Theology of Hope for a Restoration: The Interpretation of Ezekiel 37: 1-14. Various problems in the world have made humans live in suffering, especially when facing a pandemic which is still ongoing today. Humans need strength and certainty to face these difficult times in order to rise from adversity and experience restoration that is able to bring life into hope. This article examines efforts to cultivate hope theologically by describing a mystical theological view of hope in Ezekiel 37: 1-14. By using qualitative methods, especially through the approach of textual interpretation that examines the text to find the core of the news, the main message is found in the view of the mystical theology of the hope of the Prophet Ezekiel regarding the picture of Israel's recovery in exile, through Ezekiel's vision of the condition of dry bones scattered in the valley. The final findings of this article reveal that restoration from God is both a physical and a spiritual one that is represented by the act of God's Spirit awakening the dry bones. This event contains a bright hope for Israel, and for humans who believe, that life will be restored as long as humans are willing to keep themselves faithful as God's people. Abstrak: Teologi Mistik Pengharapan bagi Sebuah Restorasi: Tafsir Yehezkiel 37:1-14. Berbagai persoalan di dunia telah menjadikan manusia hidup di dalam penderitaan, terkhusus ketika menghadapi pandemi yang masih berlangsung saat sekarang. Manusia membutuhkan kekuatan dan kepastian untuk menghadapi masa-masa sulit ini guna bangkit dari keterpurukan penderitaan dan mengalami restorasi yang mampu mengantar kehidupan ke dalam pengharapan. Artikel ini mengupas upaya menumbuhkan pengharapan secara teologis dengan menjabarkan sebuah pandangan teologi mistik pengharapan dalam Yehezkiel 37:1-14. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, khususnya melalui pendekatan tafsir tekstual yang meneliti teks untuk menemukan inti berita, ditemukan pesan utama dalam pandangan teologi mistik pengharapan Nabi Yehezkiel mengenai gambaran pemulihan Israel dalam pembuangan, melalui penglihatan Yehezkiel terhadap kondisi tulang-tulang kering yang berserakan di lembah. Temuan akhir dari artikel ini mengungkapkan bahwa pemulihan dari Allah merupakan pemulihan fisik dan sekaligus spiritual yang digambarkan melalui tindakan Roh Allah yang membangkitan tulang-tulang kering. Peristiwa ini berisi harapan yang cerah bagi Israel, dan manusia yang percaya, bahwa akan membuat pulih lagi kehidupan asalkan manusia mau tetap menjaga diri untuk setia sebagai umat kepunyaan Allah.

Abstract

The issue of sexuality becomes crucial when there is sexual violence in the family, including Christian families. Sexual violence can take both physical and non-physical forms, and one of them is about the decision on a soman’s pregnancy is determined by the man. It is said to be a form of sexual violence, because it is actually a woman who has a uterus, so the decision to get pregnant or not must be determined by women, not men. Therefore, the understanding of sexuality must be developed through the right understanding, so that in marriage and family Christians do not live in sexual violence. The way to that is to explore the understanding of sexuality in Genesis 2:21-25 in order to build a theology of sexuality. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach enriched with textual exegesis methods on Genesis 2:21-25. The results of the study reveal that the theology of sexuality opens awareness that a balanced position between men and women is the basis for the understanding that men and women have their own rights, so that there should be no interference with each other's rights. Although a man and a woman are bound in a marriage, in determining the rights of the womb, women are the decision makers, not men. Masalah seksualitas menjadi krusial ketika terjadi kekerasan seksual dalam keluarga, termasuk keluarga Kristen. Kekerasan seksual bisa berbentuk fisik dan non-fisik, dan salah satunya adalah tentang keputusan kehamilan seorang perempuan yang ditentukan oleh laki-laki. Dikatakan sebagai bentuk kekerasan seksual, karena sesungguhnya yang memiliki rahim adalah perempuan, sehingga keputusan hamil atau tidak harus ditentukan oleh perempuan, bukan laki-laki. Oleh sebab itu, pemahaman seksualitas harus dikembangkan melalui pemahaman yang benar, agar dalam perkawinan dan keluarga Kristen tidak hidup di dalam kekerasan seksual. Jalan menuju hal tersebut adalah menggali pemahaman tentang seksualitas dalam Kejadian 2:21-25 guna membangun teologi seksualitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka yang diperkaya dengan metode eksegesa tekstual terhadap Kejadian 2:21-25. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa teologi seksualitas membuka kesadaran bahwa kedudukan yang seimbang antara laki-laki dan perempuan menjadi dasar bagi pemahaman bahwa laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki haknya masing-masing, sehingga tidak boleh ada intervensi terhadap hak masing-masing. Meskipun seorang laki-laki dan perempuan sudah terikat dalam sebuah perkawinan, tetapi dalam menentukan hak rahim, perempuanlah yang menjadi pengambil keputusan, bukan laki-laki.

Abstract

Understanding of God is very important in religious life, especially when religion is confronted with culture. There needs to be contextualization efforts in understanding God comprehensively so that it can be accepted from a religious as well as cultural perspective. Through this, God is not only understood correctly Biblically, but at the same time is understood based on the context of the local community. This article aims to find the understanding of God in the Minahasa context by contextualizing the understanding of God in the Bible with the local context. This article uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach for research into the Minahasa cultural context coupled with a critical interpretation of biblical research, especially Genesis 1:26-28. The results of the study prove that God, known as El Shadday in the Bible understanding can be contextualized with the understanding of Dewi Karema, so that God in the form of El Shadday understood by Minahasa culture is not just a masculine God but also a feminine God. Thus the God of El Shadday in the Bible is not a foreign God in the life of the Minahasa tribe, but a God who is very close to human life, especially in the figure of Dewi Karema. Pemahaman tentang Allah menjadi hal yang sangat utama dalam kehidupan beragama, terutama ketika agama diperhadapkan pada budaya. Perlu ada upaya kontekstualisasi dalam memahami Allah secara komprehensif sehingga dapat diterima dalam perspektif agama sekaligus budaya. Melalui hal ini, Allah tidak hanya dipahami dengan benar secara Alkitabiah, tetapi sekaligus dipahami berdasarkan konteks masyarakat setempat. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan pemahaman Allah dalam konteks Minahasa dengan cara mengkontekstualisasikan pemahaman tentang Allah dalam Alkitab dengan konteks setempat. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur bagi penelitian terhadap konteks budaya Minahasa ditambah dengan tafsir kritis terhadap penelitian Alkitab, khususnya Kejadian 1:26-28. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Allah, yang dikenal dengan nama El Shadday dalam pemahaman Alkitab dapat dikontekstualisasikan dengan pemahaman Dewi Karema, sehingga Allah dalam wujud El Shadday yang dipahami oleh budaya Minahasa bukan sekadar Allah yang maskulin melainkan Allah dalam wujud feminine, sehingga kehidupan El Shadday sangat dekat dengan kehidupan manusia.

Abstract

Mystical theology is often underestimated and labeled as theology that does not touch the problems of life. This article attempts to further examine the existence of mystical theology by examining and exploring the nature of mystical theology from the story of Paul's mystical experience in II Cor. 12:1-10 which is compared to Bima's mystical experience in Dewa Ruci's story. By using qualitative methods, especially narrative studies of the two mystical stories, a new understanding is found that mystical theology is not a floating theology, but an earthly theology, because mystical theology invites humans to be directly involved in the life and suffering of the world to find a way out of the problem of suffering. man. In order for mystical theology to be grounded in Indonesia, biblical mystical theology needs to be contextualized with culture so that it can be familiar to Indonesian human life. For this reason, churches in Indonesia need to develop contextual mystical theology as a form of theology with a social-praxis nuance, based on the events of Christ (Faith) and grounded in Indonesian life (contextual).

Abstract

In the Old Testament, circumcision was seen as a major part of establishing oneself as part of God's people. In the adoption of Israel as God's people at Sinai, every Israelite must be circumcised. It is based on God's command to Abraham, as a sign of the covenant. But actually the culture of circumcision is not a typical Israeli culture, but is a culture that is common in the Middle East, the only thing that distinguishes the culture of Israeli circumcision from the Middle East is in God's decree in the covenant that raised Israel (a descendant of Abraham) as God's people. So there is a spiritual meaning in the cultural content of circumcision in the Old Testament for the Israelites. It turns out that the spiritual understanding of circumcision is not only owned by Israel, because this is also owned by the Nias Tribe. By using qualitative research methods, which are complemented by a literature study approach, this research results in an understanding that the culture of circumcision for the Nias tribe is a culture that signifies them as God's people. So that circumcision is an absolute for every Nias community.

Abstract

Pastoral service is an important task of the church to maintain the life of the congregation, therefore pastoral assistance is always aimed at life. One form of church pastoral service that has received less attention is assistance to people who are facing death, even though this kind of assistance is highly expected because when facing death someone will be faced with anxiety and fear. The Genesis 27:1-19 narrative highlights the importance of feeding people who are facing death as a form of the child/family's ability to continue to be companions. This story has parallels with the Manulangi Natua-tua culture in the Batak tribe, where through this culture each family member will provide certainty to parents who are facing death that they will still be there to accompany them, so that parents do not need to be afraid and anxious to face death. This study uses a qualitative method, with a narrative interpretation approach to Genesis 27:1-19 and literature research on Batak culture. The results of the study show that mentoring people who are facing death is an important thing that must be done by the church as a form of the church's responsibility towards life.

Abstract

The concept and teachings of redemption become a major desire for every religious person, including Christians. Through the teaching of atonement, every people are made aware that God works to liberate sinful humans through His acts of love. This work of God's liberation is understood as a form of human release from the power of sin so this teaching about redemption becomes the basic core of every religious teaching. One of the redeeming teachings of the Bible is found in the narrative of the bronze serpent statue in Numbers 21:4-9. However, it is not the only religion that talks about the teachings of redemption, every culture also has the teachings of redemption, including in this case the culture in the Nias community called Famatö Harimao. By using qualitative methods, especially library research and textual interpretation approaches, this research shows that the narrative of the copper snake statue can be used as the basis for contextualizing Famatö Harimao culture. The results of the study show that the Famatö Harimao culture which has been contextualized through the basis of Numbers 21:4-9 can still be lived and lived by the people of Nias because through this culture the people of Nias have a concept of redemption that is culturally and biblically accountable.

Abstract

This article aims to show the equality between the Fondrakõ law and the ten Laws as written in Exodus 20:3-17. The equality of these two laws lies in the pattern of the relationship between humans and God and humans with each other. By looking at the equality between these two laws, it can be ascertained that in fact the application of the Fondrakõ law to the lives of the people of Nias is very contextual. The discussion in this article uses the cross-textual reading method, which refers to a comparative-correlative study approach by looking at and finding similarities and differences between the two selected texts. The results of the research show that the Fondrakõ law and the Torah Law are actually two laws that have similarities and are interrelated to one another. Even if there are differences between the two laws, these differences can be used to complement each other and enrich each other's meanings. Thus, Torah law can actually be applied in the life of Nias people through Fondrakõ laws, especially those that regulate the relationship between humans and God and each other.AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan kesetaraan antara hukum Fondrakõ dengan sepuluh Hukum Taurat seperti yang ditulis dalam Keluaran 20:3-17. Kesetaraan kedua hukum ini terletak pada pola hubungan antara manusia dengan Tuhan dan manusia dengan sesamanya. Dengan melihat kesetaraan antara kedua hukum ini, dapat dipastikan bahwa sesungguhnya pemberlakuan hukum Fondrakõ terhadap kehidupan masyarakat Nias sangat kontekstual. Pembahasan dalam artikel ini menggunakan metode pembacaan cross textual, yang mengacu pada pendekatan studi komparatif-korelatif dengan cara melihat dan menemukan persamaan dan perbedaan kedua teks terpilih. Hasil dari penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa hukum Fondrakõ dengan Hukum Taurat sesungguhnya merupakan dua hukum yang memiliki persamaan dan saling bertalian satu sama lain. Kalau pun ada perbedaan di antara kedua hukum tersebut, justru perbedaan itu dapat dipakai untuk saling melengkapi dan memperkaya makna satu sama lain. Dengan demikian sejatinya hukum Taurat dapat diterapkan dalam kehidupan masyarakat Nias melalui hukum Fondrakõ, khususnya yang mengatur hubungan antara manusia dengan Tuhan dan sesamanya.
