Abstract

There has been so much discussion about Divorce among Christians with various theological backgrounds, but for the lay congregation, there is still confusion about the attitude of the Church in general. Of course, this has a less than the optimal effect on the spiritual formation of the church. This may happen because of the lack of understanding Christians about how Christian ethical values can be applied in divorce cases. Moreover, it was added with the uncertainty of some church parties in taking their stand. This paper tries to explain in a simple way about Divorce with all its details, causes, and consequences. This paper also discusses why the church needs to take a stand and show it clearly to the congregation to avoid congregational confusion. This research was made using descriptive qualitative research methods through literature studies. Conclusions are generally drawn based on the inductive method. AbstrakSudah begitu banyak pembahasan mengenai Perceraian di kalangan Kristen dengan berbagai latar Teologi, namun bagi kalangan jemaat awam masih terasa adanya kebingungan mengenai sikap Gereja pada umumya. Tentu saja hal ini memberikan pengaruh kurang optimal dalam pembinaan rohani jemaat. Hal ini mungkin terjadi karena begitu minimnya pemahaman orang-orang Kristen mengenai bagaimana nilai-nilai Etika Kristen dapat diterapkan dalam kasus perceraian. Apalagi ditambah dengan kegamangan beberapa pihak gereja dalam mengambil sikap. Tulisan ini mencoba mengulas secara sederhana mengenai Perceraian dengan segala seluk beluknya, penyebab dan akibat yang ditimbulkan. Tulisan ini juga menbahas mengenai mengapa gereja perlu mengambil sikap dan menunjukkannya secara jelas kepada jemaat agar menghindarkan kebingungan jemaat. Penelitian ini dibuat menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif desktriptif melalui studi literatur. Kesimpulan secara umum diambil berdasarkan metode induktif.

Abstract

This article analyzes the postmodern philosophical ideas of three main thinkers, namely Friederich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault through which several serious consequences are faced for the study of Christian theology today. Postmodernism's critique and attack on the absolute truth claims of modernism also have an impact on the concept of Christian theology. These impacts result in the dismantling of the authority of God's word, confusion, lack of purpose and meaning in contemporary human life. This research uses a literature study with a descriptive qualitative method. Data analysis uses philosophical hermeneutics which includes interpretation, descriptive and comparative studies. The results of this study indicate that the idea of postmodernism has resulted in: The rejection of the monopoly of truth claims that have an impact on cultural superiority, the emergence of pluralism and relativism, the absence of absolute meaning in the biblical text, and the free play of interpretation of biblical texts. A number of these consequences are challenges that need to be addressed immediately.AbstrakArtkel ini menganalisis gagasan-gagasan filsafat postmodern dari tiga pemikir utamanya yaitu Friederich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida dan Michel Foucault yang melaluinya sejumlah konsekuensi serius diperhadapkan bagi kajian teologi Kristen masa kini. Kritik dan serangan postmodernisme terhadap klaim kebenaran absolut dari modernisme juga berdampak pada konsep teologi Kristen. Dampak tersebut mengakibatkan terjadinya pembongkaran terhadap otoritas firman Allah, kebingungan, ketiadaan tujuan serta makna hidup manusia kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Analisis data menggunakan hermeneutika filosofis yang mencakup kajian interpretasi, deskriptif dan komparasi. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa gagasan postmodernisme telah menghasilkan: Penolakan terhadap monopoli klaim kebenaran yang berdampak pada superioritas kultural, munculnya pluralisme dan relativisme, ketiadaan makna absolut pada teks Alkitab, dan permainan bebas interpretasi teks-teks Alkitab. Sejumlah konsekuensi ini merupakan tantangan yang perlu dan segera direspons.

Abstract

The condition of the Covid-19 pandemic that has never subsided, raises various questions for Pentecostal-Charismatics regarding the concept of God's power and specifically regarding the existence of miraculous gifts of healing. In the context of Christianity, the view of the existence of miracles of healing is divided into two views which are pro and contra. This paper departs from the controversial side especially during this pandemic situation and seeks to present a comprehensive Pentecostal-Charismatic theological perspective. The methodological approach used is descriptive qualitative. The literature study approach is used to analyze the variety of literature related to miracles of healing, as well as brief hermeneutic studies on relevant biblical texts. The results of this study indicate the difference in conceptual framework between Pentecostal-Charismatic theology regarding miracles of healing, where the difference is not only centered on the conceptual side but also backwards on the study of hermeneutics resulting in different responses in practical theological praxis in the life of the congregation today.AbstrakKondisi pandemic covid-19 yang tak kunjung mereda, menghantarkan beragam pertanyaan bagi kalangan Pentakosta-Kharismatik perihal konsep kuasa Allah dan secara khusus mengenai eksistensi karunia mukjizat kesembuhan. Dalam konteks kekristenan, padangan mengenai eksistensi mukjizat kesembuhan terbagi dalam dua pandangan yang pro dan kontra. Tulisan ini bertolak dari sisi kontroversial terutama ditengah situasi pandemic ini serta berusaha untuk menyajikan kerangka pandangan teologi Pentakosta-Kharismatik yang komprehensif. Pendekatan metodologi yang digunakna adalah kualitiatif deskriptif. Pendekatan studi kepustakaan digunakan untuk menganalisa ragam literatur yang berkaitan dengan mukjizat kesembuhan, serta kajian hermeneutik singkat pada teks-teks Alkitab yang relevan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan perbedaan kerangka konseptual antara teologi Pentakosta-Kharismatik mengenai mukjizat kesembuhan, dimana perbedaan tersebut bukan hanya berpusat pada sisi konseptualnya namun juga mundur ke belakang pada kajian hermeneutikanya sehingga menghasilkan respons yang berbeda dalam praksis teologi praktika dalam kehidupan jemaat saat ini.

Abstract

The child-free lifestyle, namely those who get married but decide not to have children, seems to be increasingly prevalent in Indonesia. And there are various reasons behind it. This paper intends to formulate the problem of how to view childfree from the point of view of Christian ethics. Is the childfree lifestyle acceptable based on biblical truth? This is interesting because there is very little research on childfree from a Christian point of view in Indonesia. So it can be said that research on this is something new. The method used to answer these questions is to collect journals, books, and Bible verses related to the formulation of the problem to get answers to the questions above. It is interesting to be able to listen to the results of this study because it will reveal many reasons why people are childfree. And after doing the research, it can be concluded that child freedom can still be justified according to the Bible for the right reasons, namely for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The author hopes that this work can be used as a reference for those who are considering childfree or those who care about childfree.Gaya hidup childfree yaitu mereka yang menikah namun memutuskan untuk tidak ingin memiliki keturunan rupanya semakin marak di Indonesia. Dan ada berbagai alasan yang melatarbelakanginya. Tulisan ini hendak merumuskan masalah tersebut menjadi bagaimana memandang childfree dari sudut pandang etika Kristiani. Apakah gaya hidup childfree dapat diterima berdasarkan kebenaran Alkitab. Hal ini menjadi menarik karena sedikitnya penelitian mengenai childfree dari sudut pandang Kristiani di Indonesia. Sehingga dapat dikatakan penelitian mengenai ini adalah sesuatu yang baru. Metode yang digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut adalah dengan mengumpulkan jurnal, buku, ayat-ayat Alkitab yang berkaitan dengan rumusan masalah tersebut untuk mendapatkan jawaban atas pertanyaan di atas. Menarik untuk dapat menyimak hasil penelitian ini, karena akan mengungkap banyak alasan orang untuk childfree. Dan setelah dilakukan penelitian, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa childfree masih dapat dibenarkan menurut alkitab dengan alasan yang tepat yaitu dilakukan untuk kepentingan kerajaan sorga. Besar harapan penulis, bahwa karya ini dapat dijadikan referensi bagi mereka yang sedang mempertimbangkan untuk childfree atau mereka yang peduli dengan childfree.

Abstract

Cell community planting is urgently needed, especially in areas where the gospel has not yet been reached. The data shows that the Rancaekek and Soreang areas are two areas the gospel has not reached. Therefore, the author makes pioneering efforts with the hope that one day there will be churches in Rancaekek and Soreang, starting with cell communities in these two areas. The method used in this research is study cases. The author conducts community worship services as the forerunner of the birth of a church of God. So far, the cell community services that have been held have received a positive response from the Christian families served. Those who still need a community to grow in faith in the area where they live show enthusiasm when their house is used as a place to carry out cell community worship. Cell community is carried out not only on-site but also online. This is an alternative response to the ongoing conditions (pandemic). If conditions improve in the future, an online cell community will likely be carried out on-site.

Abstract

Abstract: Plastic surgery to change the shape of the nose (rhynoplasty) is a controversy that is present today as knowledge increases in the field of medical technology, increasing aesthetic influence which presents new trends in influencing a person's shape and appearance. On the other hand, nose reconstruction (septoplasty) is also needed because of an accident, disease or certain conditions in the nose. This paper analyzes the issue of plastic surgery on the nose as an effort to provide an understanding of biblical ethics to place this phenomenon in accordance with Christian ethical principles. The goal is for God's people to consider biblical and ethical principles in making ethical decisions before undergoing plastic surgery. In this study, researchers used descriptive analysis methods and literature studies. The type of data used is in the form of various books and articles according to the theme of the discussion. Based on existing research, researchers found that nose specialist plastic surgery procedures must be carried out according to the conditions that occur and are supported by clear goals and motivation. Such as plastic surgery of the cetoplasty type which is mandatory for the method of healing the respiratory tract in the nose and plastic surgery of the rhinoplasty type which actually does not have to be done because it is contrary to God's will, and does not agree with the perspective of bioethics and Christian ethics. It is possible to do this surgical procedure, but it must be based on clear reasons and objectives, and supported by the unavailability of other options apart from how necessary this operation must be carried out.Key words: Plastic Surgery, Septoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Christian Ethics

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic that began in early 2020 has had serious impacts on various aspects of life globally, nationally and locally, including family planning program services in Indonesia. BKKBN, for example, carries out various policies to increase participation in family planning programs to maintain community welfare by anticipating the baby boom during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the results of the survey conducted, the interest of men to participate in becoming MOP contraceptive acceptors began to increase. This is certainly a progress where the awareness of men to participate in family planning programs is increasing. The increase in participants occurred because of ‘correct’ knowledge about family planning programs. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, many men and their families did not have adequate knowledge about vasectomy as a method of contraception. Consequently, this caused limited accessibility to contraceptive services and acceptance among men. The main objective of this paper is therefore to provide complete and clear information to men regarding the benefits, impacts and perspectives of applied ethical theology on the use of the vasectomy method of contraception. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative method by collecting several journals and books related to the formulation of the problem and looking for possible equations to answer this research problem. The expected results are therefore a wider recognition of the important role of health workers, culture, and experienced family planning cadres, as well as a provision of knowledge and direction in socializing the vasectomy method, including understanding the theologically ethical perspectives of vasectomy as a method of contraception.  Key words: Covid-19, Ethical Theological Perspectives, Family Planning Program, Men, Vasectomy.
