Abstract

To Examining LGBTQ issues in Indonesia still requires serious time and attention. The church must be at the forefront of providing solutions for the congregation and the country. Before the situation got even worse. This article offers an equal and respectful approach to facing the problems of LGBTQ people. This is the first step that the church must think about so as to encourage the creation of new formulations that are more contextual but biblical. By using several narrations in the book of John, this research produces ways to deal with the problem of sexual deviation, especially from LGBTQ people. The church is encouraged to follow the pattern of the incarnation of Jesus by seeking, having dialogue and being open to all sinners. No longer closing himself and only highlighting his sinfulness. Especially for teenagers who are vulnerable to conditions in modern times and in the future.

Abstract

The media currently plays an important role, one of which is the entertainment media for romantic drama films. Romantic drama films are one of the most popular genres of various age groups. Its presence, which can be enjoyed by various age groups, can cause problems, including for believers. Not infrequently the film presents messages or values that are contrary to religious beliefs. This research answers the question how does the Christian worldview evaluate the romantic genre film? There are many messages from various films circulating in Indonesia that need to be studied. In this context, theological study can be an attempt to analyze the messages and values contained in romantic drama films by using the concept of a Christian worldview. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a Christian worldview approach. This concept refers to a world view based on Christian religious beliefs, which can help believers understand the moral and spiritual values contained in films. This research shows that various films of the romantic genre from within the country and abroad can influence Christian culture sooner or later to move away from practical theological values. This does not cause someone to stay away from watching that movies.

Abstract

Not only philosophy, ethics, and other fields but also ecclesiological life are facing severe challenges from the impact of digital culture, which continues to develop endlessly. This context encourages the church to think further about something new to predict what will happen and how it should take its role. This article offers a diachronic mission approach examining current and future contexts. The church is a missionary whose identity is to present the values of the Kingdom of God for His glory. This research indicates that the development of digital culture will be contrary to the Christian faith. This digital world is a context that God allows to occur to prepare for life in the church; every believer understands the challenges of transhumanists and cyborgs around them.

Abstract

Backsliding is a problem occurring among Christians in Myanmar. The author focuses this research on seeking several solutions to the issue of backsliding among Christians in Myanmar by comparing it with the Reformed worldview. The analytical focus is on the educational aspect in the church to address backsliding based on the Reformed worldview. This research was conducted in several stages, including problem identification and its causes, proposing problem-solving ideas. The researcher conducted interviews among Christians and elaborated with various other literary sources. The research findings reveal that the church needs to teach sound doctrines that can help its members grow in their faith and withstand difficult times. Political and religious issues are inseparable, but the fundamental problem is the need for contextual churches. The church needs to love and care for its flock. Additionally, the research finds that contextual churches require influence in every public area. Church leaders in urban areas need to be more educated and aware of the views and sensitivities of various ethnic, class, race, and religious groups. The church, as the body of Christ, should be able to communicate the Word of God honestly and accurately to its members and ensure that they are engaged in Bible classes or groups where they can learn and enjoy fellowship with fellow believers to strengthen their faith.

Abstract

Kehidupan manusia pada era digital sekarang ini telah mengalami degradasi dari nilai-nilai spiritualitas kekristenan. Mereka lebih suka kepada hal-hal yang bersifat duniawi ketimbang membawa dirinya lebih dekat dengan Tuhan. Banyak orang berharap adanya akhlak dan karakter yang baik dari setiap generasi termasuk generasi milenial sehingga tercapai masa depan yang gemilang. Fakta di lapangan yang terjadi saat ini justru menunjukkan keburukan karakter generasi muda ini. Berdasarkan fenomena ini, penulis berpendapat bahwa perlu dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi kepada generasi milenial agar memiliki kesadaran diri yang tinggi. Kesadaran diri agar memprioritaskan Tuhan sebagai sumber utama dalam kehidupan ialah suatu tindakan yang lebih baik dibanding mengutamakan hidup pada nilai-nilai moral yang buruk dan kontradiksi dengan ketetapan Tuhan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Penulis menggunakan berbagai sumber dan data seperti buku, artikel jurnal, website, dan penelitian lainnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa generasi milenial yang memiliki perilaku-perilaku moralitas dan spritualitas yang baik. Menjadi orang Kristen yang hidup tetap mengandalkan Tuhan berarti bahwa kehidupan orang Kristen harus memiliki kualitas yang baik di mata masyarakat, di mana standar kebenaran Allah menjadi dasar untuk bagi praktik hidup mereka. Kenyataannya, di lapangan hal yang mudah untuk memiliki dan mempertahankan integritas hidup yang baik, sebab secara esensial manusia sangat kompleks untuk menguasai dirinya dalam segala situasi. Apalagi manusia dinilai sebagai kepribadian yang mudah berubah-ubah kapan saja tanpa diketahui waktunya. Meskipun begitu, etika Kristen tetap menyoroti dan memberikan penilaian tentang apa yang dibuat atau dilakukan oleh manusia. Dengan demikian orang Kristen juga akan dimampukan Tuhan untuk melewati proses kehidupan yang sangat kompleks.

Abstract

The research problem focuses on the differing perspectives between Christianity and the beliefs of the Saluan community regarding the concept of death and the existence of the soul after death. In Christianity, death is viewed as the final separation of the body and soul. In contrast, in the beliefs of the Saluan community, the soul undergoes a transitional phase known as the Periode Ton. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences in the concepts of death and the existence of the soul after death in both belief systems. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Data were collected from various sources, including books, scholarly journal articles, and previous research findings. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that while there are similarities in understanding death as the separation of body and soul, significant differences exist in the existence and influence of the soul after death. In the beliefs of the Saluan community, the soul remains in the physical world until the Mohatu ritual is performed. In contrast, Christianity asserts that the soul immediately enters the presence of God or is separated from Him. In conclusion, this study contributes to contextual theology by integrating cross-cultural understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to further explore the dimensions of humor in Jesus' teachings and its implications for the practice of Christianity in the contemporary era. Although humor is often overlooked in a spiritual context, this study aims to further explain Jesus' humor, which functions as the most effective communication tool to convey deeper spiritual messages. In addition, through techniques such as irony, hyperbole, and parables, Jesus not only aims to entertain, but also encourages listeners to reflect on better moral values. This finding has highlighted the importance of integrating humor into the spiritual experience of Christians, which can create a more inclusive approach to forming an atmosphere of joy and laughter as an integral part of faith. Therefore, through this study, the author focuses on the importance of understanding Jesus' humor in order to improve understanding of spiritual experiences and also strengthen the bonds of the church community.
