Abstract

This article examines the contextualisation of the Gospel within the Aluk Todolo tradition by conducting a historical and theological analysis of the Dutch Zending mission in Tana Toraja. The proclamation of the Gospel in the early 20th century did not occur in isolation, but rather encountered a system of beliefs and local culture that was already deeply ingrained in the lives of the Toraja people. Through a descriptive qualitative approach and a literature review, this study examines the characteristics of Aluk Todolo, the process of the Gospel’s introduction, and the missionary strategies adopted by the Gereformeerde Zendingsbond (GZB), particularly through the figure of Antonie Aris van de Loosdrecht. The research findings indicate that the proclamation of the Gospel was carried out in a contextual manner through the use of the local language, the translation of theological concepts such as ‘Puang Matua’, and educational and social methods that respected local cultural values. The interaction between the Gospel and Aluk Todolo created a dynamic that was not merely adversarial, but also dialogical and transformative. This adaptation allowed the Gospel to be accepted without entirely erasing the Toraja cultural identity. This study emphasises that a mission approach that is contextually appropriate and sensitive to local culture is vital in conveying the Gospel in a relevant and meaningful way within the community.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of the Intermediate State theologically, particularly in relation to the doctrines of Purgatory and Soul Sleep. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether both doctrines have a strong basis in the Bible. The method used is a qualitative theological approach through literature study and analysis of biblical texts. This study includes the concepts of Sheol, Hades, and interpretations of relevant verses. The results of the study indicate that the doctrine of Purgatory does not have a strong biblical basis and is more developed from church tradition. Meanwhile, the doctrine of Soul Sleep is also inconsistent with the biblical testimony that describes the dead remain conscious in the Intermediate State. Therefore, it is concluded that after death, humans immediately enter a state of consciousness, either in communion with God or in separation from Him, without going through an additional process of sanctification or unconsciousness.

Abstract

Abstract This community service program aims to provide spiritual guidance and character development for the youth and young adults of the church GPR Pandeglang, Banten, through a theological approach based on 1 Corinthians 10:13. This verse emphasizes that temptation is a common human experience, that God is faithful and will not allow individuals to be tempted beyond their capacity, and that He provides a way out so they may endure it. In the context of this program, the verse serves as a reflective foundation for holistic self-understanding: recognizing human limitations, acknowledging God-given strength, and developing a resilient spiritual attitude amid life’s challenges. The methods used in this activity include material presentations, interactive discussions, and group reflections designed to explore the theological and practical understanding of self-identity among participants. The results show an increased awareness of personal value grounded in the Word of God, as well as the emergence of initiatives to build a supportive and faith-centered community. This program has made a positive contribution to the spiritual formation of youth and has equipped them with a contextual and applicable faith perspective for navigating real-life situations.  Abstrak Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pembinaan spiritual dan penguatan karakter kepada remaja dan pemuda gereja GPR Pandeglang, Banten melalui pendekatan teologis berbasis 1 Korintus 10:13.
