Abstract

This study discusses the concept of predestination according to Augustine of Hippo and its implications for Christian education. Augustine asserts that humans, because of original sin, are incapable of achieving salvation through their own efforts; only God's sovereign grace is the basis for salvation. His thinking arose from debates with Pelagianism, which emphasized human freedom. Augustine, on the other hand, highlighted the total depravity of humans and their need for God's grace. This doctrine of predestination then affirms the dynamic relationship between God's grace and the limitations of human free will. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature approach. The results of this study show that Christian education is a means of God's grace, whereby God saves, shapes, and restores students to know God. Therefore, Augustine's doctrine of predestination also emphasizes that the goal of Christian education must be oriented towards the transformation of faith, shaping students in obedience and love for God. Thus, Augustine's idea emphasizes that the goal of Christian education is the renewal of life in Christ, not just intellectual achievement.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas tinjauan kritis konsep hermeneutika modern yang dikembangkan oleh Friedrich Schleiermacher dalam perspektif kaum Pentakostal. Schleiermacher dalam hermeneutikanya menekankan interpretasi gramatikal dan psikologis dalam proses penafsiran, dengan tujuan menghadirkan pemahaman yang setia terhadap maksud penulis asli. Namun, interpretasi ini menimbulkan persoalan ketika dihadapkan dengan keyakinan teologis Pentakostal yang menekankan otoritas mutlak Alkitab serta peran Roh Kudus dalam penafsiran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur yang terkait dengan topik. Hasil penelitian ini adalah menunjukkan bahwa pertama, pentingnya menjunjung tinggi otoritas Alkitab sebagai Firman Allah. Alkitab tidak dapat disejajarkan dengan teks lain yang bersifat sekuler, sehingga membuka kemungkinan pengaburan terhadap sifatnya yang ilahi. Kedua, pentingnya menekankan dimensi Pneumatologis dalam hermeneutika. Firman bukan hanya untuk dipahami, tetapi juga untuk dialami dan dihidupi. Gereja masa kini dipanggil untuk tidak menjadikan tafsir Alkitab sebagai urusan pribadi semata, tetapi sebagai bagian dari kekayaan karya Roh Kudus di tengah komunitas. Dengan demikian, gereja dapat menjaga agar penafsiran tidak menyimpang ke arah subjektivisme yang berlebihan, sekaligus menghidupi Firman dalam praksis nyata yaitu dalam pelayanan dan kehidupan sehari-hari.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the meaning and implementation of the character of a servant of God based on 2 Timothy 2:2-6 in the context of the development of the postmodernist movement. In 2 Timothy 2:2-6, Paul emphasizes the importance of the character of a good servant of God, amidst the onslaught of the spirit of relativism and individualism in the postmodern era. Although this teaching has been around for centuries, there is still a gap in understanding and application in today's church ministry. This study uses a qualitative approach with the epistolary genre exegesis method and literature study. The results of the study indicate that the character of a servant of God must be post-individualistic, meaning that a servant of God must remain social even though he does not agree with the spirit of individualism. The character of a servant of God must also be post-rationalistic, meaning that even though he does not agree with the spirit of relativism, it does not make the servant of God "gray" in thinking or "anti-intellectual." In conclusion, 2 Timothy 2:2-6 provides a deep understanding of the principles of the character of a servant of God for the church of God in facing the challenges of the postmodernist movement.
