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.

Abstract

Passover celebrations are always repeated every year for Christians, although not as festive as Christmas. Christian Passover events are a series of events from the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection on the third day. There have been many attempts to reduce the events of the cross and deny the crucified figure of Jesus Christ. This research tries to explore and examine the meaning of Easter in Christianity and how it relates to the Messianic Covenant in Genesis 3:15. The method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, examining the red threads of the Old and New Testaments regarding Passover, where in the conclusion there is a relationship between Genesis 3:15 concerning the Messianic covenant as a type and its antitype or fulfilment is in the event of the cross, and this is a work God's salvation in overcoming human sin, on the one hand God's justice is satisfied by punishing sin on the cross, and on the other hand it shows God's love for humans. Thus, as people who believe in Jesus Christ, they must understand the meaning of this Passover in their daily lives, and moreover, theological high school students and church pastors must understand that and educate the congregation to maintain the spirit of Passover. BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Perayaan Paskah selalu berulang setiap tahun bagi umat Kristiani, meskipun tidak semeriah Natal. Peristiwa Paskah adalah suatu rangkaian peristiwa dari kematian Yesus Kristus di kayu salib dan kebangkitan-Nya pada hari yang ketiga. Banyak upaya untuk mereduksi peristiwa salib dan menafikan sosok Yesus Kristus yang tersalib. Penelitian ini mencoba menggali dan mengkaji makna paskah dalam kekristenan dan apa hubungannya dengan kovenan Mesianik dalam Kejadian 3:15. Metode yang dipergunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian Pustaka, menelisik benang merah Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru tentang Paskah, di mana dalam simpulan terdapat hubungan antara Kejadian 3:15 tentang kovenan Mesianik sebagai tipe dan antitipenya atau penggenapannya ada pada peristiwa salib, dan ini merupakan karya keselamatan Allah dalam mengatasi dosa manusia, di satu sisi keadilan Allah terpuaskan dengan menghukum dosa di salib, dan di sisi lainnya menunjukkan kasih Allah pada manusia. Dengan demikian sebagai umat yang percaya kepada Yesus Kristus harus memahami makna Paskah ini dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan terlebih bagi mahasiswa Sekolah Tinggi Teologi dan para gembala gereja harus memahami itu dan mengedukasi jemaat untuk tetap menjaga semangat Paskah.

Abstract

Abstract: This article specifically discusses how hermeneutics studies the correlation between Abraham's sacrifice and Jesus' sacrifice. This topic is elaborated by the author based on the author's attention to the difference of opinion among believers regarding Abraham's sacrifice, which is a typology of Jesus' sacrifice. The difference of opinion is marked by the view that the typology of Jesus' sacrifice is Ihsak, but there are also those who agree that the typology of Jesus' sacrifice is the sheep. All of these opinions share the same biblical basis as a theological basis for the relationship between Abraham's sacrifice and Jesus' sacrifice. On this basis, the author uses the literature study method with an exegesis approach. The purpose of this study is to connect the common thread of Abraham's sacrifice and its relationship to Christ's sacrifice. By explaining, it gives an understanding that God's plan of salvation for sinful man through His Son was long prophesied in the Old Testament. The findings of this topic reveal that the Old Testament through the New Testament broadly tell of the prophecy and fulfillment of Jesus' sacrifice. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas secara spesifik bagaimana studi hermeneutika mengenai korelasi pengorbanan yang dilakukan Abraham dengan pengorbanan Yesus. Topik ini diuraikan oleh penulis didasari oleh perhatian penulis terhadap perbedaan pendapat antara orang percaya mengenai perngorbanan Abraham yang merupakan tipologi dari pengorbanan Yesus. Perbedaan pendapat itu ditandai dengan adanya pandangan yang mengatakan bahwa, yang menjadi tipologi pengorbanan Yesus adalah Ihsak, namun ada juga yang setuju yang menjadi tipologi pengorbanan Yesus adalah domba. Semua pendapat tersebut sama-sama memiliki dasar Alkitab sebagai landasan teologis terhadap relasi korban Abraham dengan pengorbanan Yesus. Dengan dasar tersebut penulis menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan eksegese. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah hendak menghubungkan benang merah bagaimana pengorbanan Abraham dan relasinya dengan pengorbanan Kristus. Dengan memaparkan, memberikan pemahaman bahwa rencana keselamatan Allah bagi manusia berdosa melalui Anak-Nya sudah lama dinubuatkan dalam Perjanjian Lama. Temuan dari pemaparan topik ini mengungkapkan bahwa Perjanjian Lama sampai dengan Perjanjian Baru, secara garis besar menceritakan tentang nubuatan dan penggenapan pengorbanan Yesus.

Abstract

Modern medical literature reveals that leprosy is a treatable disease and not easily contagious. In contrast, theological literature, especially from biblical texts, often views leprosy as a symbol of sin and impurity, reinforcing social stigma against sufferers. This study combines theological and medical perspectives to provide a more comprehensive understanding of leprosy, focusing on Leviticus 13. Using descriptive qualitative methods and a literature review, this research analyzes various sources. The results indicate that ancient theological views of leprosy as divine punishment have perpetuated enduring social stigma. Meanwhile, modern medical perspectives offer scientific explanations that emphasize leprosy as a treatable medical condition, helping to reduce this stigma. This study suggests concrete steps to reduce stigma, such as community education, social integration of leprosy sufferers, empathy training for healthcare workers, and psychosocial support. This research not only enhances understanding of leprosy from historical and theological viewpoints but also provides practical ways to address social stigma and support the reintegration of leprosy sufferers into society.

Abstract

Abstract: Evangelism must be done correctly and peacefully to its listeners. To realize this, an effective strategy is needed so that the gospel is delivered without debate with different beliefs. The apostle Paul, a highly educated, insightful, and communicative Pharisee, was chosen by God to spread the gospel to the Gentiles. In his mission, Paul preached the gospel to Athens, a place where scholars and various fisuf sects were born. The purpose of writing this article is to provide insight to Christians on how to conduct effective evangelism in communities that have different religions or creeds. The method used in this writing is qualitative-descriptive with a scientific review of the literature. The findings in this article describe that Paul conveyed the gospel message through an inscription seen on an altar of idolatry. This opportunity was used by Paul to introduce the philosophers of Jesus Christ and how to worship the true God. As a result, some members of the Areopagus Court joined him and believed in Jesus. What Paul did was part of an evangelistic strategy that was applicable in the field in carrying out the mission of the Great Commission. Abstrak: Penginjilan harus dilakukan secara benar dan damai kepada para pendengarnya. Untuk merealisasikan hal itu, diperlukan strategi yang efektif agar injil tersampaikan tanpa perdebatan dengan kepercayaan yang berbeda. Rasul Paulus, seorang Farisi yang memiliki latar pendidikan yang tinggi, berwawasan luas, dan komunikatif dipilih Tuhan untuk menyebarkan Injil ke bangsa-bangsa non-Yahudi. Dalam misinya, Paulus mengabarkan Injil ke Athena, sebuah tempat dimana kaum terpelajar dan berbagai aliran fisuf dilahirkan. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memberikan wawasan kepada orang Kristen dalam melakukan penginjilan yang efektif pada masyarakat yang memiliki agama atau aliran kepercayaan yang berbeda. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah kualitatif-deskriptif dengan kajian ilmiah literatur. Temuan dalam artikel ini menguraikan bahwa Paulus menyampaikan pesan Injil melalui sebuah tulisan yang dilihat pada sebuah mezbah penyembahan berhala. Kesempatan ini dipakai Paulus untuk mengenalkan tentang Yesus Kristus dan bagaimana menyembah kepada Allah yang benar kepada para filsuf aliran epikurios dan stoa. Dampaknya adanya beberapa anggota Mahkamah Areopagus yang menggabungkan diri dengannya dan percaya kepada Yesus. Apa yang dilakukan Paulus bagian dari strategi penginjilan yang aplikatif di lapangan dalam menjalankan misi Amanat Agung.

Abstract

Abstract: In Indonesia, cases of religious blasphemy are still very vulnerable because the government has not strictly implemented supervision and action. Relevant law enforcers should be able to take firm action in monitoring, preventing, and taking action without having to wait for complaints from the public, but in reality, there is negligence by the government. Therefore, this research aims to provide preachers and Christian apologists with a real picture of how to carry out apologetics that do not conflict with the law and how to focus on the science of homiletics in preaching without having to offend the teachings of other religions. The method used in this research is analytical-descriptive, relying on a literature review. From the research results, it was found that the interpretation made by the Christian clergy was wrong, and this was a violation of the law on blasphemy. However, if this interpretation is not an error, then the clergy should be free by law. Abstrak: Di Indonesia masih sangat rentan terjadi kasus-kasus penodaan agama karena pemerintah belum secara tegas melakukan pengawasan, dan penindakan. Penegak hukum terkait seharusnya dapat melakukan tindakan tegas dalam mengawasi dan mencegah serta melakukan penindakan tanpa harus menunggu aduan dari Masyarakat, namun pada kenyataannya terjadi pembiaran oleh pemerintah. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran nyata kepada para pengkhotbah, para apologet Kristen agar berapologetik yang tidak bertentangan dengan hukum, serta bagaimana berfokus pada ilmu homiletika dalam berkhotbah tanpa harus menyinggung ajaran agama lain. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan mengandalkan kajian literatur. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan jika tafsiran yang dilakukan oleh rohaniawan Kristen tersebut adalah keliru, maka ini merupakan pelanggaran terhadap undang-undang tentang penodaan agama. akan tetapi jika tafsiran tersebut bukan suatu kesalahan, maka seharusnya rohaniawan tersebut harus bebas demi hukum.

Abstract

Mass psychogenic illness is a phenomenon that occurs every year in Indonesia, mainly in schools and factories. In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, this phenomenon is classified as dissociative disorders. However, the Indonesian diagnostic manual of mental disorders (the PPDGJ) classified the phenomenon as a conversion disorder. The confounding diagnosis will likely result in less effective and less humane interventions. This study aims to determine the symptoms experienced by individuals experiencing mass psychogenic illness, therefore contributing to the current literature regarding the proper diagnostic of the spirit possession. Samples (N=55) were assessed using the Dissociative Disorder Interview Schedule based on DSM-5. The Beck Depression Inventory and Wong-Baker Face Rating Scale are also used to supplement the data. Findings indicate that the subjects fit the diagnostic criterion of several disorders, namely somatization (experienced by 98.18% of individuals), major depression (49%), trance (69%), childhood physical abuse (35%), and borderline personality disorder (47.2%). However, only 14.54% of subjects fulfilled the diagnostic criterion of dissociative amnesia, 7.27% for diagnostic fugue, 3.63% for depersonalization/derealization, 5% for dissociative identity disorder, 11% for other specified and unspecified dissociative disorder. These findings showed that mass psychogenic illness is likely the manifestation of distinct and separate mental disorders, notably that of somatization disorder, trance, borderline personality disorder, and major depressive disorder, and exclusively those of dissociative disorders.
