Abstract

Abstract: There are many attempts that a person makes to deny the existence of God. However, these efforts are often deadlocked when dealing with facts and events in the history of mankind. De Silva, one of those who struggle to deny the existence of a God who is believed by Christians, doubts the truth of the Bible with the argument of a skeptical phenomenon. The formulation of doubts shapes one's thinking to judge and make decisions about Christian beliefs. De Silva has not explained logically the existence of the Triune God and has shifted to comparative religion. This paper is a descriptive theological response based on the integrity of Bible teaching with a literature study approach and Christian thought. This paper is also an effort to defend the Christian faith and challenge atheist thinking. Abstrak: Ada banyak upaya yang dilakukan seseorang untuk menolak eksistensi Allah. Namun upaya tersebut seringkali menemui jalan buntu ketika berhadapan dengan fakta dan peristiwa yang ada di dalam sejarah umat manusia. De Silva, salah seorang di antara mereka yang berjuang menolak eksistensi Allah yang dipercaya orang Kristen, meragukan kebenaran Alkitab dengan argumentasi fenomena skeptis. Formulasi keraguan itu membentuk pemikiran seseorang untuk menilai dan mengambil keputusan terhadap keyakinan orang Kristen. De Silva belum menjelaskan secara logis atas eksistensi Allah Tritunggal dan bergeser ke perbandingan agama. Tulisan ini merupakan tanggapan teologis yang bersifat deskripsi berdasarkan pada keutuhan pengajaran Alkitab dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan dan pemikiran Kristen. Tulisan ini juga merupakan upaya pembelaan iman Kristen dan menantang pemikiran ateis.

Abstract

This article examines Kant's moral philosophy alongside Biblical and theological perspectives on modern slavery as a consequence of human sin and the fall. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach in a literature study, the author analyzes the root causes of slavery—poverty, low education levels, and weak law enforcement—and explores Christian ethical responses rooted in love and justice. The study integrates Kantian morality with Biblical teachings and Reformed theological thought to develop a holistic understanding of morality that bridges ethics and spirituality. The findings emphasize the importance of education, effective law enforcement, and support for marginalized communities as practical measures to combat slavery and human trafficking. This paper highlights the novelty of interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and theology in promoting human dignity and social justice.

Abstract

Christian Leadership Training (LDKK) is an integral part of character education that begins in the family, church, and school. The basic principle is to prepare students to be responsible, servant leaders who are rooted in the knowledge of God. The goal is to discover, train, and develop the leadership potential of students so that they are equipped to be future leaders who emulate Christ. At Erenos Junior High School, this program is implemented through a combination of LDKK and Community Service (PKM) held by lecturers, emphasizing the value of humility in accordance with the principle of “He must increase” (John 3:30). The activities took the form of leadership training, spiritual guidance, and service activities that took place on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, in Lubana Sengkol, South Tangerang, and were attended by 132 students. The expected outcome is the creation of a generation of Christian leaders who know God personally and are committed to spiritual, academic, and social life. The findings of the activity show that students are becoming more aware of their identity as children of God and understand their calling to lead with love and godly character in their daily lives.

Abstract

The teaching of scientific theories of origins, such as the Big Bang and evolution, in primary education often creates epistemological tension with biblical teaching, particularly within Christian school contexts. In Indonesia, this tension is frequently addressed without a clear pedagogical framework that integrates faith and learning coherently. This study aims to develop a biblical–pedagogical framework for integrating the doctrine of creation (creatio ex nihilo) within Christian Religious Education (CRE) for primary students. Employing a qualitative research design through literature analysis and classroom-based case studies in Indonesian Christian primary schools, this study examines how the doctrine of creation can be taught as divine revelation rather than as a competing scientific explanation. The findings indicate that when creation is presented theologically as an act of God’s sovereign will, students engage scientific knowledge critically while maintaining biblical authority as the foundation of learning. This study proposes a biblical–pedagogical framework that positions Christian teachers as facilitators, reconcilers, and transformers in guiding students toward an integrated understanding of faith and knowledge. The framework contributes to Christian education by offering a coherent model for faith–learning integration that supports intellectual formation and spiritual growth among primary students in Indonesia.
