Abstract

According to Christian faith, the Bible is the Word of God; however, Christians are required to believe that it must be based on logic and common sense. Based on this statement, the researcher examines the Book of Genesis 12:1-3 from the perspective of contract law to prove whether the various promises between God and Abraham were promises that were realized or whether one of the parties was in default. If a default arises, then the Christian Bible is a purely fictional story, and the Christian faith is a faith without common sense. Based on the articles in contract law, the main agreement is exposed in Genesis 12:1-3 and the continuation of the agreement in articles 15 and 17. Researchers use qualitative methods by relying on data collection through a literature study. The data obtained is managed and analyzed so as to obtain the results as intended. In this research, it was proven that all agreements between God and Abraham had been implemented perfectly, and it was found that all the contents of the main agreement and the continuation of the agreement had been fulfilled. Abraham and his descendants, as recipients of the promise, have received the achievements promised by God. Abraham and his descendants became the source of curses and blessings for all people on earth. AbstrakAlkitab menurut iman umat Kristen adalah Firman Tuhan, namun demikian umat Kristen dituntut untuk beriman harus didasari dengan logikan dan akal sehat. Berdasarkan pernyataan ini, peneliti mengeksposisi Kitab Kejadian 12:1-3 dari perspektif hukum perjanjian untuk membuktikan apakah berbagai janji antara Tuhan dan Abraham tersebut adalah janji yang direalisasikan ataukah salah satu pihak timbul wanprestasi. Jika timbul wanpretasi, maka Alkitab Kristen adalah suatu cerita firktif belaka, dan iman Kristen adalah iman yang tanpa akal sehat. Berdasarkan pasal-pasal dalam hukum perjanjian, dieksposisi dari  perjanjian induk pada Kejadian 12 : 1-3 dan kelanjutan perjanjian pada pasal 15 dan 17.  Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan mengandalkan pengumpulan data melalui studi kepustakaan, data yang diperoleh dikelola dianalisa sehingga mendapatkan hasil sebagaimana maksud peneltian ini dan terbukti semua perjanjian antara Tuhan dan Abraham telah dilaksanakan secara sempurna, dimana ditemukan bahwa seluruh isi perjanjian induk dan kelanjutan perjanjian telah terpenuhi. Abraham dan keturunannya sebagai penerima janji telah menerima prestasi yang dijanjikan Tuhan dimana Abraham dan Keturunannya menjadi sumber kutuk dan berkat bagi semua kaum di muka bumi. Kata Kunci: Abraham, perjanjian Tuhan, Hukum, Kitab Kejadia

Abstract

In 2022, the Supreme Court of India has legalized abortion for all women, regardless of marital status. Consequently, all women in India are free to terminate their pregnancy without having to face a legal case. This decision is a breakthrough for new laws in India, including the issue of upholding women's rights. Even so, the act of arbitrary abortion is contrary to morals and Bible teachings. This article aims to discuss the legalization of abortion carried out by the Indian government from a biblical theology perspective by using a literature review approach. The findings of this research indicate that legalizing abortion through legislation is contrary to the biblical principle of the right to life. The government must guard abortion cases not only from political and socio-economic roles but also from religious beliefs and provide good sex education and a healthy environment for its people to suppress unwanted abortions. The role of parents in educating children and the role of the church in maturing the faith of the younger generation can prevent free sex and unsafe abortion in India. The contribution of this research is related to abortion, the right to life of the fetus, women's rights, sex education for the younger generation, parenting and government law.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to answer whether Tamar's actions, which deceived her father-in-law, Judah, in Genesis 38 are justified from the point of view of Christian ethics. Answering this question can help God's people understand what to consider when making ethical decisions. The method used is a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The author collects data from various literature and then compiles systematic arguments related to the topic. The conclusion is that we could not blame Tamar for her actions since she was only trying to fight for her fate which was oppressed by Judah's indifference. This story teaches us that after God's words, the situation faced by the individual is also important to consider in ethical decision-making. AbstrakTujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menjawab pertanyaan apakah tindakan Tamar, yang mengelabui mertuanya, Yehuda, dalam Kejadian 38 dapat dibenarkan dari sudut pandang etika Kristen. Menjawab pertanyaan ini dapat menolong umat Tuhan untuk memahami apa saja yang perlu dipertimbangkan saat mengambil keputusan etis. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian literatur. Penulis mengumpulkan data dari berbagai literatur untuk kemudian menyusun argumentasi yang sistematis terkait topik. Kesimpulannya adalah tindakan Tamar tersebut tidak dapat disalahkan karena ia hanya berupaya memperjuangkan nasibnya yang tertindas oleh ketidakpedulian Yehuda. Pembelajaran yang dapat dipetik dari kisah ini adalah pentingnya untuk memahami firman Tuhan secara komprehensif dan mempertimbangkan situasi sebelum mengambil keputusan etis. Kata Kunci: Tamar, Yehuda, etika Kristen, keputusan etis, Kejadian 38.

Abstract

This paper specifically described the issue of initiating the study of Christianity based on missiology. This topic was reviewed because factually Christian education based on missiology was still not fully encouraged in religious learning in classes. This topic was discussed considering that there were still a lot of various tribes who had not been reached in missionary services. Obviously, this should not be the responsibility of missionary institutions alone, but religious institutions in the context of Christian education should also make a contribution and pay attention to it. In discussing this topic, the researchers used qualitative methods with a literature study approach. The description in discussing this article started with the Curriculum of Christian Religious Education leading to missiology. Then, the practice of mission-based learning was carried out for students in the classrooms. This was done to instill the concern of the Great Mandate from an early age. Besides, Christian Educators should live up to their missionary activities as their responsibility of their vocation as educators chosen by God to encourage the missionary movements. It was done to emulate the way how Jesus and the apostles taught but framed in missionary Tulisan ini secara spesifik menguraikan perihal menggagas pembalajaran agama Kristen berbass misiologi. Topik ini diulas karena secara faktual pembelajaran agama Kristen berbasis misiologi masih belum sepenuhnya digalakkan dalam pembelajaran agama di kelas. Topik ini dibahas mengingat masih banyak ditemukan berbagai suku belum terjangkau dalam pelayanan misi. Tentunya tanggung jawab itu tidak hanya dibebankan kepada lembaga misi, namun lembaga keagamaan dalam konteks pendidikan Kristen turut ikut andil memerhatikannya. Di dalam menguraikan topik ini peneliti menerapkan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Uraian pembahasan pada artikel ini dimulai dari, kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Kristen itu sendiri mengarah pada misiologi. Kemudian praktik pembelajaran berbasis misiologi dilakukan di dalam kelas bagi naradidik. Ini dilakukan untuk menanamkan sejak usia dini, kepedulian pada mandat Amanat Agung. Disamping itu, Pendidik Agama Kristen menghidupi kegiatan bermisiologi, sebagai bentuk tanggung-jawab panggilannya sebagai pendidik yang dipilih oleh Tuhan untuk ikut menggalakkan gerakan bermisiologi. Hal itu dilakukan untuk meneladani jejak Yesus dan para rasul yang mengajar namun terbingkai dalam gerakan misiologi.

Abstract

Abstract: The focus of this article is the phenomenon of remarriage among church leaders, particularly male and female pastors who have lost their spouses. Although the experience has a significant impact on the personal lives and individual ministries of the pastors, this research is based on the lack of comprehensive studies regarding the socio-theological aspects of that experience. The main research question of this article is, how does the socio-theological context of marriage influence church leadership? This article is written using a qualitative methodology with a multiple-case study. The findings of this article reveal that the remarriage of church leaders often elicits a range of responses from the congregation, from acceptance to rejection. This also affects the social relations and leadership authority of the pastor in the church. Additionally, church leaders face spiritual and emotional pressure when deciding to remarry. Therefore, the church must create more empathetic and inclusive pastoral guidelines to support leaders in the remarriage process while they are in a state of mourning. Furthermore, the church should provide opportunities for theological discussions on this issue. Abstrak: Fokus artikel ini adalah fenomena pernikahan ulang di kalangan pemimpin gereja, khususnya pendeta pria dan wanita yang kehilangan pasangannya. Meskipun pengalaman tersebut memiliki dampak yang signifikan pada kehidupan pribadi dan pelayanan individu kepada para pendeta, penelitian ini didasarkan pada kurangnya studi komprehensif mengenai aspek sosio-teologis dari pengalaman tersebut. Rumusan pertanyaan utama artikel ini adalah, bagaimana konteks sosio-teologis perkawinan dalam kepemimpinan gereja? Artikel ini ditulis menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan studi kasus. Temuan artikel ini mengungkapkan bahwa perkawinan ulang pemimpin gereja sering menimbulkan respons yang beragam dari jemaat, mulai dari menerima hingga menolak. Ini juga memengaruhi relasi sosial dan otoritas kepemimpinan pendeta di gereja. Selain itu, pemimpin gereja menghadapi tekanan spiritual dan emosional saat memutuskan untuk menikah kembali. Oleh sebab itu, gereja harus membuat pedoman pastoral yang lebih empatik dan inklusif untuk mendukung para pemimpin dalam proses perkawinan ulang saat mereka dalam keadaan duka. Selain itu, gereja harus memberikan kesempatan untuk adanya diskusi teologis tentang masalah ini

Abstract

This article discusses how the New Age Movement (NAM) began, who the figures are, what are the points of the NAM teachings, and how is the Bible's perspective on this NAM. The New Age Movement is a religious movement that combines all religious beliefs and sects in the world. The emergence of NAM is suspected because formal religions cannot seem to provide an answer or a kind of inner peace when humans are faced with problems. Not to mention formal religions claiming each other whose religious teachings are superior and true. The method used in writing this article is descriptive and analytical methods. The ideology of the New Age Movement rejects the finality of the authority of the Scriptures, does not accept the claim of the Savior, penance as taught by formal religion including Christianity not trusted by NAM. The NAM doctrine lecturing that God is Pantheistic because it is based on the universe and humans there are supernatural divine elements. The New Age Movement must be watched by every Christian because what is taught by NAM is a contradiction to the principle of what the Bible teaches Abstrak Artikel ini membahas bagaimana awal munculnya Gerakan Zaman Baru (GZB), siapa saja tokoh-tokonya, apa yang menjadi butir-butir dari ajaran GZB serta bagaimana persfektif Alkitab mengenai GZB ini. Gerakan Zaman Baru adalah gerakan keagamaan yang menggabungkan semua kepercayaan agama dan sekte-skte di dunia ini. Kemunculan GZB ditenggarai karena agama-agama formal seakan tidak bisa langsung memberikan jawaban atau semacam perasaan ketenangan batin saat manusia diperhadapkan dengan masalah. Belum lagi agama formal saling mengklaim satu sama lain ajaran agama siapa yang lebih unggul dan benar. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini adalah metode deskriptif dan analitis. Ideologi Gerakan Zaman Baru menolak finalitas otoritas Kitab Suci, tidak menerima pengklaiman juruselamat, penebusan dosa sebagaimana yang diajarkan oleh agama formal termasuk di dalamnya kekristenan tidak dipercayai oleh GZB. Doktrin GZB yang mengajarkan bahwa Allah itu bersifat Panteis karena didasarkan pada alam semesta dan manusia terdapat unsur-unsur ilahi yang supranatural. Gerakan Zaman Baru harus diwaspadai oleh setiap orang Kristen, karena apa yang diajarakn oleh GZB ini bertentangan dengan prinsip ajaran apa Allkitab.

Abstract

Feng shui was a part of the cultural heritage of ancient Chinese society mainly used to design buildings and spaces according to the birth date or the basic elements of the owner or the person who occupied a building to achieve harmony and balance with the environment aimed to bring peace and prosperity. Feng shui practices had become a matter of debate among Christians. The question was whether feng shui practices such as calculations in building construction, determining the direction a tomb should face, or finding a date to start a business did not conflict with God's Word. From a non-theological point of view,  feng shui was well accepted because it seemed reasonable. This article discussed feng shui from a theological perspective by referring to Colossians 2:8. In the research of this article, the researchers used a qualitative descriptive method with an exposition approach where data collection was obtained from literature studies and interviews. The results of the discussion on this topic showed that theologians concurred that feng shui did not correspond with God's Word, while the Bible interpreted feng shui as a false philosophy. The conclusion drawn was the rejection of feng shui practices by theologians and the Bible.

Abstract

This study delves into the ethical considerations of phone sex within long-distance marital relationships (LDRs) from a Christian ethical perspective. Employing qualitative methods, including scriptural analysis and literature review, the research aims to ascertain the compatibility of phone sex with Christian doctrinal teachings concerning marital intimacy. The findings suggest that phone sex is perceived as diverging from the Christian ethical norms which advocate for physical and personal marital interactions, categorizing it as a form of sexual perversion akin to masturbation. The study contributes to theological discourse by providing a framework for understanding modern challenges in marital intimacy within the Christian context. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical intimacy as prescribed by scripture and highlights the potential spiritual and ethical pitfalls associated with phone sex in LDRs. Recommendations include fostering educational and counseling initiatives within church communities to guide couples in navigating these issues. This study enriches the dialogue on integrating technology into marital practices while adhering to Christian ethical standards.
