Abstract

Artikel ini membangun sebuah model baru teologi disiplin gereja yang didasarkan pada penafsiran ulang atas Matius 18: 15-17. Dalam artikel ini, saya menyimpulkan bahwa sudut pandang dan tindakan yang paling tepat untuk orang berdosa di gereja berdasarkan pada teks Matius 18: 15-17 bukanlah disiplin tetapi untuk memberikan perhatian khusus secara intensif, yaitu penggembalaan khusus. Penggembalaan adalah cerminan kasih Allah bagi dunia yang tidak terbatas dan tak terhingga. Pengampunan harus diberikan terus menerus untuk orang lain karena manusia terbatas dan tidak ada potensi untuk kesempurnaan dan kesucian dalam hidup mereka. Kesempurnaan dan kesucian hidup manusia hanya akan datang di hari-hari terakhir.

Abstract

This research intends to initiate and formulate the economic theology of the Toraja Church based on a biblical view, and it is realized that it requires challenging and complex efforts. The field of Economics is vast and significant, and therefore, in the context of the Toraja Church, theology is inclined to aid economists in establishing an ethical, faith-based groundwork for the development of economics. The extensive scope of this inquiry has motivated the Toraja Church to initiate this investigation as a foundation for fostering sustainable research pertinent to the economic realm of Torajan population. This research carries out using a qualitative method. Primary data were collected by means of observations and interviews during various mini-tours and live-ins of field research. Both personal interviews and those in the form of tentative-by-the-run FGD were conducted. To support them, referential data were collected by literature review and documentation from various stakeholders. This study recognizes 1) God's mandate to organize the economy, 2) preferential options for the poor, and 3) economic empowerment as a responsible duty. However, in its fundamentals the Toraja Church should build its economic theology based on Biblical principles, taking consideration of its experience & history and the community’s socio-cultural context.
