Abstract

Young people who exist and interpret their relationships horizontally really need to understand the meaning of their relationships, of course, in their friendships. The fundamental problem is that young people prioritize reciprocity in their friendly relations rather than the value of "kindness." In Plato's view, friendship can be likened to a triangle, where the level of interchange between actors is relative, not primary. To find out vague problems, researchers used the Gap Method and a literature study approach. This discussion results in young Christians interpreting their existence in relationships as free of horizontal relationships alone. Still, instead, they pursue the vertical relationship of "God" together. Christian youth who involve God in their friendship relationships will go beyond epithumia and thumos relationships; their relationships will be at the logistic level. Abstrak Pemuda yang bereksistensi dan memaknai relasinya secara horizontal, sangat perlu memahami makna dari relasinya, tentu dalam persahabatannya. Permasalahan mendasarnya adalah pemuda lebih memprioritaskan resiprositas di dalam relasi persahabatannya, ketimbang nilai “Kebaikan”. Persahabatan dalam pandangan Platon dapat diibaratkan sebagai suatu segitiga “triangular”, di mana tingkat resiprositas antar pelaku memiliki sifat yang relatif, bukan yang utama. Untuk mengetahui permasalah yang samar-samar, peneliti menggunakan Metode Gap dan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Hasil dari pembahasan ini, pemuda Kristen yang memaknai eksistensinya dalam berelasi, ia tidak terbelenggu dalam relasi horizontal semata, melainkan mereka bersama-sama mengejar relasi vertikal “Tuhan”. Pemuda Kristen yang melibatkan Tuhan di dalam relasi persahabatannya akan melampaui relasi epithumia dan thumos, relasi mereka akan berada pada level logistikon.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the nature of human responsibility within cultural contexts, focusing on the role of the Church in upholding and applying moral values reflected in the cultural mandate of humanity. The research methodology employed is a qualitative approach through a literature review coupled with an in-depth analysis of relevant theories. Findings indicate that the Church plays a crucial role in promoting human cultural responsibility and environmental conservation, not merely as a place of worship but also as a moral and ethical guide for its congregation. The Church must design educational and service programs that foster cultural and environmental missions and actively participate in environmental conservation efforts and moral character formation. This study contributes novel insights into understanding the Church's responsibility within social and ecological contexts, encompassing spiritual dimensions and humanitarian and environmental aspects.

Abstract

This research aims to conduct an in-depth study of claims about the birth of Jesus from a virgin, which is thought to have occurred through the process of parthenogenesis. In Christian tradition, the birth of Jesus from Mary is considered a miracle involving the concept of birth without human fertilization. By using descriptive qualitative methods through an interdisciplinary approach that includes hermeneutics (text analysis and science), this research tries to reveal whether parthenogenesis is a scientific possibility that can explain the birth of Jesus. This research method involves textual analysis of the birth narrative of Jesus in the New Testament, as well as scientific examination of the possible process of parthenogenesis in human reproduction. The results of the theological and scientific analysis will be evaluated to determine to what extent the claim of Jesus' virgin birth is acceptable from the perspective of faith and science. The results of this research show that the event of Jesus' birth can be called parthenogenesis if the reader looks at it through a scientific lens. On the other hand, the event of Jesus' birth is the intervention of God and His Holy Spirit as an absolute thing that cannot be separated and denied and even replaced with other concepts.
