Abstract

This article focused on Samson's fall when he was in the phase of prosperity and glory. The downfall in this article referred to engaging in sexual sin, corruption, abuse of power and various scandals. The portrait of Samson's fall narrated by the Book of Judges also happened to some spiritual leaders today. The background of the problem accompanied by factual data was the main basis of this article. In writing this article, literature study and hermeneutic approaches were used to design the articles. The formulations of questions asked were what caused Samson's fall in the prosperity phase? And why did church leaders tend to fall in their phase of prosperity? The findings of this article revealed that Samson fell because he was a leader who tended to be difficult to accept advice from others, he was individualistic, narcissistic, and easily swayed by lust. These things were not much different from the downfall of some spiritual leaders today, as a result the image of religious leaders was damaged because of their deeds.

Abstract

Whatever the reason, racialism must be abolished in Christianity because it is not in accordance with the teachings of God's Word. Christians who are still racist must repent by accepting the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior and free themselves from racist attitudes. The racial phenomenon that exists in Christianity is a challenge that must be faced and resolved by the church. This is very possible because within Christianity there are still people who see each other through a certain skin color, hair shape, ethnicity and even gender. In discussing the implementation of Galatians 3:28-29 on James H. Cone's Black Theology in eliminating racial issues, the author will describe the contents of Gal. 3:28-29 as a supporting verse to remove racial issues that exist in Christianity. Where from the racial issues that developed, James H. Cone's Black Theology was chosen to be the object of research for comparison with the verses discussed, because Cone is a Black figure who pioneered Black Theology which is quite popular and has contributed theology that can be a reference or reference that seems would justify racial issues within Christianity. So it is hoped that with this discussion the author can add thoughts to free Christians from racist attitudes.ABSTRAKApapun alasannya, rasieme harus dihapuskan dalam kekristenan karena tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Firman Tuhan. Orang Kristen yang masih bersikap rasis harus bertobat dengan menerima Tuhan Yesus sebagai Juruselamat pribadinya dan membebaskan dirinya dari sikap yang rasis. Fenomena rasial yang ada di dalam kekristenan adalah tantangan yang harus dihadapi dan diselesaikan oleh gereja. Hal ini sangat mungkin karena di dalam Kristen sendiri masih ada orang yang melihat sesamanya melalui warna kulit tertentu, bentuk rambut, suku dan bahkan jenis kelamin. Dalam pembahasan mengenai implementasi Galatia 3:28-29 terhadap Teologi Hitam James H. Cone dalam menghapus isu rasial, penulis akan memaparkan isi dari Gal. 3:28-29 sebagai ayat pendunkung untuk menghapus isu rasial yang ada di dalam Kristen. Dimana dari isu rasial yang berkembang, Teologi Hitam James H. Cone dipilih menjadi obyek yang diteliti untuk dikomparasikan dengan ayat yang dibahas, karena Cone adalah tokoh Hitam pencentus Teologi Hitam yang cukup popular dan telah memberikan sumbangsih teologi yang dapat menjadi rujukan atau referensi yang seakan-akan membenarkan isu rasial di dalam Kristen. Sehingga diharapkan dengan pembahasan ini penulis dapat menambahkan sumbangsih pemikiran untuk membebaskan umat Kristen dari sikap yang rasis. Kata Kunci: Galatia 3, Teologi Hitam, James H.

Abstract

Abstract: The Javanese Bible has a slightly different translation from other translations for the meaning of the word Immanuel. In particular, this difference can be seen when comparing the meaning of Immanuel in Javanese and the meaning of Immanuel in Indonesian. What is interesting is that the translation in Javanese for the word Imanuel has similarities with the sentence "manunggaling kawula Gusti", which is a term that is very familiar in Sufism Islamic circles in Javanese society. The first question is whether the translation in Javanese is correct according to the original meaning or not. Second, is it true that the word Imanuel has similarities with the concept of "manunggaling kawula Gusti" in the Islamic belief in Sufism or not. Third, does the similarity of concepts also mean the same meaning? Fourth, with these similarities, the meaning of Immanuel in Javanese can be used as a means of cultural inculturation and contextualization of Islamic Sufism. Some of these questions will bring the discussion to a new insight related to the Christology of the meaning of Immanuel in the Javanese translation. This writing uses qualitative research methods, with a review of appropriate reference books and journals. Furthermore, it is also hoped that, by understanding the correct concepts and meanings, we can carry out cultural inculturation and contextualization appropriately in using the term Immanuel. Abstrak: Alkitab bahasa Jawa memiliki terjemahan yang sedikit berbeda dengan terjemahan lain untuk makna kata Imanuel. Secara khusus perbedaan tersebut terlihat ketika membandingkan antara arti Imanuel dalam bahasa jawa dan arti Imanuel dalam bahasa Indonesia. Menariknya adalah, terjemahan dalam bahasa Jawa untuk kata Imanuel memiliki kesamaan dengan kalimat “manunggaling kawula Gusti” yaitu istilah yang sangat familiar dalam kalangan Islam Tasawuf masyarakat Jawa. Pertanyaan pertama, apakah terjemahan dalam bahasa Jawa tersebut benar sesuai makna aslinya atau tidak. Kedua, apakah benar kata Imanuel memiliki kesamaan dengan konsep “manunggaling kawula Gusti” dalam keyakikan Islam Tasawuf atau tidak. Ketiga, apakah persamaan konsep tersebut juga berarti persamaan makna. Keempat, apakah dengan persamaan tersebut maka makna Imanuel dalam bahasa Jawa dapat dijadikan sebagai sarana inkulturasi budaya dan kontekstualisasi terhadap Islam Tasawuf. Beberapa pertanyaan ini, akan membawa pembahasan kepada sebuah wawasan baru terkait dengan Kristologi dari makna Imanuel dalam terjemahan bahasa Jawa. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan tinjauan kepada buku dan jurnal referensi yang sesuai. Selanjutnya juga diharapkan, dengan pemahaman konsep dan makna yang benar, maka dapat melakukan inkulturasi budaya dan kontekstualisasi secara tepat dalam menggunakan istilah Imanuel.

Abstract

The Indonesian nation is facing an era where horizontal conflicts often occur. Especially in the era of digital progress and the era of disruption that forces people to use technology to communicate, do business and so on. So that in the era of disruption, many hate speech accessed in cyberspace can threaten unity in the real world. By using a literature study approach, this paper intends to explain how Christians have an impact and become agents of truth through living in harmony and being pioneers in harmony. It was concluded that for Christians, harmony must also be done in a real place in the community as well as in the social media community which is now called the era of globalization in the era of disruption. Through the era of disruption and challenges, Christians can understand that any situation and condition still contributes to the diversity of the nation. It is also in line with the Basic Christian Faith in the harmony which can then be actualized by Christians in society in an era of disruption

Abstract

This paper discusses the initiation of the church as part of the implementation of the Great Commission. The method used in this paper is a qualitative method with a literature approach. Planting churches is part of the Great Commission because the pioneers of the church implement the spread of the Gospel to the established congregations. If we trace the PB (New Agreement) and its historical records in determining the pioneering locations of the church, God and man played a role. From God's point of view, it is theological basis when Paul and Silas prayed, then the Holy Spirit gave instructions on where they should go (Acts 16: 4-12). While from humans, the apostles sent people to preach the Gospel in the designated areas. In this pioneering exercise in identifying culture, it requires the involvement of mentoring involved. In starting a new church planting, focus on the arrangement of faith to new converts as well as on the congregation that will join as members but take priority over discussing material matters.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic has had a huge impact on human life. This study highlights how the theological response to the impact caused by covid-19, both in the context of religious and economic rituals. The method used by the researcher is a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The results of the description in this article suggest that the covid-19 pandemic has caused all global communities and various aspects to be seriously affected by this outbreak, In this outbreak, the world economy has slumped, many people have died due to covid-19, and the space for religious rituals has been restricted. In the context of Christian theology, this pandemic can be indicated as the fulfillment of Bible prophecy as John's prophecy in the book of Revelation. Theologically, this plague is a punishment for humans who are willing to exploit nature. This epidemic is also a form of God's warning in the midst of increasingly corrupted human morality, which eases sinful acts without heeding the truth of God's word. This study concludes that the theological response to the covid-19 pandemic is to be more vigilant spiritually and build a life that glorifies God.

Abstract

This article laid out specifically the portrait of Jesus' solidarity with the poor or marginalized groups who were often socially left out, neglected and even discriminated. This topic was elaborated on, given that human empathy was slowly fading. In portraying Jesus' solidarity, the researchers traced it from the Gospel of Luke because this book paid severe attention to Jesus' solidarity with the poor. The researchers used the exposition and literature approach to outline the topic of this article. The findings of this study suggested that the portrait of Jesus' solidarity for the poor and marginalized people was that He embraced the left out, met their physical and spiritual needs, defended those who were discriminated and helped thoroughly. The act of solidarity shown by Jesus depicted that He shared their burden, felt how they felt, and sensed the suffering of the poor and other marginalized groups. The solidarity that Jesus became the role model for every servant of God, to follow and emulate what He did as God's partner in echoing the kingdom of God.

Abstract

Penelitian ini hendak membuktikan suatu kata “amnesti” yang di dalam hukum positif Indonesia dikenal adanya pengampunan atau penghapusan hukuman yang diberikan Presiden kepada orang atau kelompok yang bersalah melakukan tindak pidana berdasarkan putusan pengadilan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap (in kracht van gewisjde). Amnesti yang diberikan oleh Presiden apakah dapat langsung diberikan ataukan menempuh berbagai prosedur serta membutuhkan waktu berapa lama, dan apa konsekwensinya ketika seseorang atau suatu kelompok telah menerima Amnesti. Dalam teologi Kristen, juga dikenal adanya amnesti atau pengampunan dosa. Pengampunan dosa diperlukan bagi seseorang untuk dapat mencapai Firdaus. Metode yang dipergunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan, dan juga melalui penelusuran dari berbagai sumber untuk menggali dan menemukan makna perkataan Yesus sebagaimana pada judul penilitian. Temuan penelitian ini mengemukakan bahwa pemberian amnesti kepada penjahat diatas kayu salib yang dilakukan Yesus menunjukan Ia adalah Tuhan pemilik kuasa yang dapat mengampuni dosa manusia.
