Abstract

Apology comes from the root word "apologia", which means defense, or rational explanation to prove that someone is not guilty in court. According to Kalus Stevanus, the word "apologia" and also "apologeomai" in Greek means to defend or be responsible, as well as to defend oneself or be responsible. Apologetics can be understood as a discipline that studies how to take responsibility and how to defend and provide an effective answer to one's beliefs. Apologetics is here to defend Christian philosophy. The Bible is the main source for proving the truth of the Gospel because it is God's own testimony and provides a basis for thought and evidence of the truth of his message. The Bible does not only record the history of Christianity alone. Therefore, the responsibility of a believer is to identify every statement found in the Bible as one truth. In addition, you must bear the responsibility to provide adequate evidence to those who oppose the truth of the Bible. God inspired all the writings of the Bible. Every part of the Bible must be accepted as a divine mandate and guide for every aspect of our lives. The Bible gives us true wisdom, hope, and enlightenment to know and love God our Creator. The Bible is considered by Christians not only to be a trustworthy book, but also to be the sole authority and only source of truth regarding Christian doctrine and practice. Reading and studying the Bible and preaching God's Word daily are essential parts of living our lives as God's people. We must apply the beauty and truth of the Bible to our daily lives

Abstract

Apakah iman berlawanan dengan rasio atau akal budi, ataukah rasio adalah sesuatu yang terpisah dari iman? Pertanyaan ini adalah pertanyaan klasik dalam kekristenan, karena pertanyaan ini telah mempengaruhi agama Kristen selama berabad-abad. Dari pertanyaan tersebut muncul dua ekstrim berbeda, di mana ada yang berpendapat bahwa orang Kristen harus menekankan iman sebagai satu-satunya dasar dalam kehidupan Kristen tanpa menekankan rasio. Di sisi lain, ada yang menjadikan rasio sebagai standar utama segala sesuatu, dan jika tidak logis, maka itu bukan kebenaran. Masih ada orang Kristen yang mempertentangkan apologetika dengan peran akal dan iman di dalam kedua bidang tersebut. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan apologetika, serta pentingnya peran akal budi dan iman dalam tugas berapologetika secara efektif. Kajian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur yang disajikan secara deskriptif-analitis. Melalui kajian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa akal budi dan iman adalah dua hal yang berbeda namun tidak saling bertentangan, di mana keduanya memiliki tempat dan perannya masing-masing dalam praktik berapologetika. Tanpa akal budi dan iman, maka praktik apologetika tidak dapat dilakukan dengan efektif.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of Jesus' teaching strategy in the Gospel of Matthew for the formation of house congregations. Strategy comes from the Greek word stratogos, which means a method, procedure, or trick applied to achieve a goal and to shape the character of its mature members. In improving the quality of Jesus' teaching, Jesus used strategy and it became very effective in the Gospel of Matthew. The problem in this study is how Jesus' teaching strategy for house congregations based on the Gospel of Matthew actualizes their faith in the midst of the majority. Through a qualitative approach with theological analysis and biblical studies of chapters such as Matthew 4:19-20, Matthew 9:35, Matthew 5:2, Matthew 14:29, and Matthew 28:19-20. This article emphasizes that in Jesus' teaching, He prepared His disciples through a personal approach. The Lord Jesus not only chose disciples but also took responsibility for teaching them to prepare them to become teachers for others in spreading the Gospel. Jesus trained His disciples by involving them in real and active actions such as Jesus telling Peter to walk on water.  The Lord Jesus performed signs and miracles before them with the sole purpose of training His disciples. The Lord Jesus also trained and taught them how to truly pray (Matthew 6:5-13). A house congregation is a group of people who gather and learn the truth of God's Word and participate in the proclamation of the Gospel. This means that the congregation is involved in spreading the good news about Jesus Christ, and the congregation perseveres in prayer and makes prayer a lifestyle. Therefore, Jesus' teaching in the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the formation of a close community, experiential teaching, commissioning for ministry, and leading by example in daily life. Jesus not only taught in formal meetings but also built a close community with His disciples, who became models for the house congregation. Jesus chose, taught, trained, educated, and discipled His disciples by sending them out to serve directly. Jesus taught spiritual values through concrete actions, which confirms that the formation of a congregation is not only based on doctrine but also on living examples.
