Abstract

Prenuptial agreement has been implemented for a long time in Indonesia, mainly by couples from middle and upper socioeconomic strata. It is a common legal step taken before marriage, and establishes the property and financial rights of each spouse in the event of a divorce. Nowadays, the rapid growth and development in all fronts of human life, particularly in information and communication, make people more aware about this agreement, both in Christian and non-Christian couples.

Prenuptial agreement avoid arguments in case of divorce and can also be used to protect spouses from disputes. The method used is a qualitative method using interviews with several informants who are considered eligible to obtain valid data.

Ini adalah langkah hukum umum yang diambil sebelum menikah, dan menetapkan hak milik dan keuangan masing-masing pasangan jika terjadi perceraian. Saat ini, pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang cepat di semua bidang kehidupan manusia, khususnya dalam informasi dan komunikasi, membuat orang lebih sadar tentang perjanjian ini, baik dalam pasangan Kristen dan non-Kristen. Tingkat perceraian yang tinggi yang mempengaruhi integritas kehidupan keluarga dan kesejahteraan anak-anak, adalah salah satu alasan yang meningkatkan pasangan untuk mengikat diri dalam perjanjian ini. Perjanjian pranikah menghindari argumen jika terjadi perceraian dan juga dapat digunakan untuk melindungi pasangan dari perselisihan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan wawancara dengan beberapa informan yang dianggap memenuhi syarat untuk mendapatkan data yang valid. Kesimpulan dari Pemahaman Para Pendeta mencapai 75% yang menyatakan tidak setuju atas Perjanjian Pranikah dalam pernikahan Kristen dan kesimpulan dari umat Kristen awam adalah bahwa hingga 50% tidak setuju dengan Perjanjian Pranikah dalam pernikahan Kristen. Menghadapi kecenderungan yang semakin meningkat dari orang-orang yang melakukan perjanjian pranikah pernikahan ini, para pemimpin gereja perlu lebih memahami perjanjian ini, sehingga mereka dapat menjelaskannya kepada pasangan Kristen yang merencanakan pernikahan mereka.

Abstract

This research trying to see the phenomenon of secularization that is dominating the world. Some people argue that secularization is dangerous for the Christian faith while some say that it is just the opposite that secularization is necessary. What is developing now is that secularization becomes a movement in personal thought. Some experts distinguish between secularization and secularism. Secularism is a kind of ideology that remove everything supernatural defining ones life. Secularism refers to the fact that religion has lost influence on the societal, the institutional and the individual levels. Preaching is a main part of church to educate the congregation about God, what His will and also supernatural being. Expository preaching is the method of teaching scripture. There are many other ways to preach a sermon that are beneficial to a congregation. However, that these other forms of preaching should never replace expository preaching in the life of the church. Solid expository preaching brings scripture to life. It connects the meaning of the passage to the life of the hearer, helping them to apply what they’ve heard to their specific life situations. This is the way to maintain people from leaving God and supernatural being in modern human life.

Abstract

Since Indonesia is also one of the most diverse societies in the world such as there are over three hundred different ethnic groups in Indonesia, each with its own cultural identity, and more than two hundred and fifty distinct languages are spoken, then Pancasila is created as philosophic fundamentals of the state to supports the diversity in Indonesia. Pancasila (from a Sankrit word: panca: five and sila: principle) consists of five principles that are interrelated and inseparable to generate unity in diversity (bhinnekatunggalika). In this paper, I will argue that Pancasila promotesand facilitates religious diversity although religious culture in Indonesia does not promote religious pluralism.

Abstract

Many people have difficulty understanding the Trinity. Likewise, many Christians themselves do not understand this basic doctrine. Even more so for people outside of Christianity, they assume that Christians believe in three Gods or even think that God has a sexual relationship with Mary. There is also the opinion that the triune God is one person with three functions. The three views above are not true. Thophilus of Anthiokia was the first to use the term Trinity or trias in Greek. Whereas Tertullian was the first to use this term in Latin form. It was from Tertullian that the terms substance (substance) and person(personal, person) were used in formulating the concept of the Trinity. Every Christian must understand what is fundamental to his faith. The Trinity is a basic doctrine that must be correctly understood and accepted by every Christian. Without a proper understanding of this doctrine, it will undermine other related doctrines, namely the doctrine of creation, the doctrine of Christology, the doctrine of redemption, and the doctrine of eternal life. The trinity doctrine is a doctrine which is accepted by all Christian churches for almost 2000 years. Only heretical schools and deviant movements do not accept this doctrine.

Abstract

The post-truth era has had a significant impact on the responses and behaviors of both individuals and groups. The characteristics of this era tend to blur objective facts and lead to relativism, where objective truth is no longer considered absolute. This situation triggers the spread of false news and the distortion of facts, causing individuals to become disseminators of lies or, at the very least, mislead others into logical fallacies far from objective truth. The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of the post-truth era on individual behavior and thinking, as well as to uncover the factors contributing to the widespread dissemination of lies and manipulation of facts. This study also aims to understand the root causes of the chaos in the post-truth era from a theological perspective. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. The researcher analyzes the variables used and presents them descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the chaos of the post-truth era stems from individuals being deceived, manipulated, and trapped in the allure of lies, diverting them from the objective truth that originates from God, and instead leading them towards subjective truth driven by personal desires and passions.
