Abstract

The relationship between philosophy and Christianity is a complex subject that has been the focus of debate for centuries. Essentially, both philosophy and religion play important roles in shaping human thought and worldview. However, there are various views and approaches to the relationship between them. On one hand, there is a traditional view among some Christians who see philosophy as something potentially dubious or even threatening to faith. They may argue that Christianity is the primary source of truth, and therefore, efforts to understand reality through the lens of philosophy may lead to deviations from religious teachings. On the other hand, philosophers often question the compatibility between philosophical intellectualism and religious belief. They may emphasize the importance of using reason and rational methods to achieve a deeper understanding of the world and truth, which may not always align with religious dogmas.History records attempts to reconcile philosophy and Christianity. Some figures such as Justin Martyr and Clement of Alexandria sought to integrate ideas from classical Greek philosophy into the framework of Christian thought. They viewed philosophy as a useful tool for defending and explaining the truth of the Christian faith to skeptics or critical thinkers. However, not all Christians embraced this approach warmly. Some believe that such efforts could cause confusion or even undermine the authenticity of Christian teachings. This could lead to conflict between those who adhere to the traditional approach and those who are more open to dialogue between philosophy and religion. Nevertheless, the debate between philosophy and Christianity continues to this day. Despite tensions between them, this interaction has also enriched our understanding of both fields. Through continuous dialogue and reflection, we can gain deeper insights into the origins, meanings, and relevance of Christian teachings in the context of the modern world.

By using logic, one can critically consider religious teachings and seek a deeper understanding of one's beliefs. This is one of the things that helps a person feel more confident in his faith because he understands the reasons behind that belief. This article shows the challenges faced when combining logic and Christian faith. Sometimes religious beliefs seem to conflict with logic or rationality and can cause internal conflict within a person. The method used is library research based on qualitative methods.

Abstract

Life change is an inevitable process in every individual's journey. This paper explores how the principles of spirituality and biblical teachings can provide guidance and meaning in experiencing positive and meaningful life change. Spirituality is viewed as a search for a higher purpose in life, both from a philosophical and Christian religious perspective. The Bible contains many narratives of characters who underwent significant life transformations, such as Paul and Mary Magdalene. Biblical teachings emphasize principles such as repentance, renewing of the mind, living in the Spirit, and sanctification to achieve true life transformation. Philosophy also offers interpretations that enrich the understanding of spirituality and life change, such as the concept of self-denial, achieving higher consciousness, and the pursuit of a more noble life purpose. To experience positive life change, steps such as self-evaluation, goal setting, action planning, self-discipline, and support from a faith community are necessary. The faith community plays a crucial role in providing moral support, accountability, role models, guidance, and resources for its members going through the process of life transformation.

Abstract

In a world full of arguments and opinions, the ability to understand the logic of thinking is a strong foundation for creating persuasive arguments. Logical thinking involves using meaningful rules and principles to form reasonable arguments based on available information. The basic principles of logic, such as the identity principle, the contradiction principle, and the refutation principle, are the basis for consistent and correct reasoning. Understanding and avoiding logical fallacies is also important for developing critical thinking and strong reasoning. In argumentation, logic plays an important role in creating strong and convincing arguments. By using strong evidence, assessing relevance, and thinking critically, you can avoid reasoning errors and create stronger arguments. In argumentation and debate, arguments that are based on logic and strong evidence are generally accepted and taken more seriously by opponents and listeners. Therefore, it is important to develop a good understanding of logical thinking and use it effectively to create strong and convincing arguments. Understanding the basic principles of logic will help you identify weaknesses in arguments, evaluate evidence critically, and create more effective arguments. Thus, logical thinking becomes an important basis for creating strong and convincing arguments.

Abstract

This article explores Christian philosophical views regarding the existence of God through an analysis of various main arguments that have been developed by Christian philosophers. Focusing on ontological, cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments, this article explores how each argument attempts to prove the existence of God through rational and empirical approaches. Ontological arguments, such as those proposed by Anselm of Canterbury, use conceptual reflection to conclude that God must exist. The cosmological argument, popularized by Thomas Aquinas, combines observations of the universe with the logic of causality to demonstrate the existence of a transcendent first cause. The teleological argument, with a major contribution from William Paley, suggests that the complexity and order in the universe indicates the existence of an intelligent designer. Apart from that, this article also highlights the importance of religious experience as subjective evidence of the existence of God. Through a combination of rational argument and spiritual experience, Christian philosophy offers a comprehensive and insightful view of God's existence, making it relevant in contemporary theological and philosophical discussions.

Abstract

Humans are creatures created specially by Allah, Allah created humans to be the same as Himself. This means that humans were created to live according to God's will. Humans try to find God in various ways and efforts but it is completely difficult to find the truth. So that makes people tend to think wrongly. Theology itself not only shows interesting facts related to the Christian Scriptures, but in the theological context, long debates often occur regarding certain topics within the scope of theology. Philosophy tends to use reason (logic) as a basis for carrying out arguments. Philosophy brings people to be able to think logically, straight and precisely. This is the case with the history of philosophy, so that seminarians, while studying the basic principles of various systems, can maintain elements that are proven to be true and find the roots of errors and refute them. Human life is a complex reality because in life, humans have no other choice but to always do something to maintain their existence. Before acting, each individual must decide, given certain risks, what to do.

Abstract

On the other hand, from a Christian philosophical perspective, the concept of salvation can be approached through rational thinking and conceptual analysis. Christian philosophy often explores ontological and epistemological questions about the nature of salvation, such as the relationship between human freedom and God's sovereignty, as well as the nature of spiritual truth. This research highlights the differences in sources of authority, methods of truth discovery, and ultimate goals between theological and philosophical approaches to salvation. While theology relies on religious teachings, divine revelation, and religious experience, Christian philosophy tends to use logical reasoning and conceptual analysis. However, these two fields can complement each other in deepening understanding of the concept of salvation, creating creative and in-depth dialogue about the nature of the Christian faith. This research provides valuable insights for theologians, philosophers, and practitioners of Christianity to explore the concept of salvation holistically, combining deep theological understanding with critical philosophical analysis.

Abstract

Philosophy is a method of thinking systematically and critically. In relation to Christian religious education, it must be studied systematically and critically as a basic science so that it can be on par with other sciences that show real benefits for the development of humanity. The author will describe Christian Religious Education as an ontological, epistemological and axiological practice of science. The method used in this research is a literature study approach. Ontologically, Christian religious education must be a strong guide towards the journey of human life so that he is able to exist and exist both theologically and socially. Epistemology talks about knowledge. Epistemologically, the Bible and Jesus are sources of epistemology for Christian religious education. Axiology talks about utility value. The axiological foundation of Christian religious education is a loving humanism that is imbued with Christian values. In other words, axiology can help humanize humans and liberate them from the alienation of their human function in life.
