In order to properly carry out the commands and teachings of the Lord Jesus, believers need to understand how to implement them. The article is intended to shed light on their implementation, as stated in the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. A narrative approach was used to explore the relevance of the text to the existing context, and then followed by a theological reflection based on the context of Indonesia’s diversity. The reflection on the benevolent attitudes and actions of the Samaritan was disclosed, namely tolerance, compassion and generosity in helping others without discerning religions or cultures. Theological study of the parable was expected to make believers model the Samaritan’s actions assisting neighbors in need. This practice may minimize intolerance occurring in multi-religious and multicultural societies in Indonesia. At the same time, it serves as the implementation of God’s commands, and an embodiment of believers as witnesses and light for Indonesia.

Diskriminasi terhadap perempuan infertil masih banyak terjadi di Indonesia. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah pemahaman patriarkis yang memandang melahirkan anak sebagai kodrat seorang perempuan. Sayangnya, gereja kurang memerhatikan penderitaan mereka yang selama ini terbungkam. Artikel ini hendak merefleksikan fenomena ini dengan kisah Rahel dalam Kejadian 29:31-30:24 untuk menemukan pemikiran teologis yang membela para perempuan infertil yang didiskriminasi. Penulis menawarkan pembacaan ulang teks tersebut dengan analisis naratif dan perspektif feminis melalui studi literatur terkait budaya yang berlaku pada zaman itu. Berdasarkan analisis penulis, Rahel mewakili para perempuan masa kini yang tidak memiliki kuasa untuk menentukan nasibnya dan harus menderita dalam diam. Selain itu, persaingan antara Rahel dan Lea pun menggambarkan konflik antar perempuan yang terjadi pada zaman ini. Kejadian 29:31-30:24 mengingatkan orang-orang Kristen akan adanya perempuan-perempuan yang didiskriminasi karena infertilitasnya, tetapi dibungkam oleh masyarakat dan budaya. Padahal, semua perempuan berharga terlepas dari kemampuan reproduksinya sehingga semua sikap represif terhadap pilihan atau keberadaan yang tidak sesuai dengan norma patriarki tak boleh diabaikan. Oleh sebab itu, teks ini berfungsi sebagai refleksi teologis yang mengajak orang-orang Kristen dan gereja untuk mengadvokasi para perempuan infertil yang selama ini tertindas.

Masyarakat Toraja dikenal sebagai masyarakat yang kaya akan kebudayaan dan tingkat toleransi yang tinggi, baik dalam keluarga maupun dalam kehidupan sosialnya. Namun, fakta yang ditemui ada begitu banyak kasus yang menarik perhatian yaitu kasus bunuh diri yang beberapa waktu yang lalu sangat marak terjadi di daerah Toraja. Salah satu penyebab terjadinya bunuh diri adalah karena tidak adanya perhatian dari orang disekitar individu tersebut dalam menghadapi persoalan kehidupannya, dalam hal ini tidak adanya nilai hospitalitas yang diterapkan dalam menjalin hubungan sosial. Kurangnya cinta kasih yang terjalin dalam sebuah hubungan dapat mengakibatkan seseorang memilih tindakan bunuh diri sebagai jalan untuk terlepas dari persoalan tersebut. Salah satu budaya atau filosofi yang masih dipegang oleh masyarakat Toraja sampai saat ini adalah raputallang. Di dalam raputallang terdapat nilai-nilai hospitalitas Kristen yang dapat dijadikan sebagai pedoman masyarakat Toraja secara khusus Gereja dalam membangun hubungan dengan sesamanya. Karena itu penulis ingin menjelaskan nilai-nilai hospitalitas Kristen yang terdapat dalam raputallang sebagai dasar bagi Gereja dalam mencegah kasus bunuh diri. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode studi pustaka serta model sintesis dari Stephen B. Bevans. Hasilnya, nilai kepedulian dalam budaya raputallang seyogyanya mampu mencegah seseorang melakukan bunuh diri.

Kesatuan gereja telah menjadi proyek ekumenis Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia dengan produk Dokumen Keesaan Gereja. Narasi kesatuan tidak hanya sebatas pergumulan PGI, karena kegerakan ekumenis ini memotivasi banyak kelompok gereja terbentuk, berakar pada doa, yang sekaligus harapan Yesus, melalui narasi Yohanes 17:21 pada frasa Ut Omnes Unum Sint. Tesis dalam penelitian ini adalah, narasi Yohanes 17:21 mengadopsi sebuah konsep kesatuan perikoretik, sehingga frasa ut omnes unum sint harus dimaknai dalam bingkai relasi perikoresis trinitaris. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kesatuan yang dinarasikan dalam frasa tersebut merupakan kesatuan yang bersifat perikoretik. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan interpretatif, frasa ut omnes unum sint juga berimplikasi pada narasi kesetaraan, selain diskursus kesatuan gereja. Kesimpulannya, narasi kesatuan gereja dalam frasa ut omnes unum sint haruslah berproyeksi juga pada semangat kesetaraan.

Acts of terrorism are often associated with Islam; even though Islam itself teaches its adherents as a religion of sowing love for the whole world. But in reality, the terrorists justify their actions by reason of jihad or holy war. This can lead to negative perceptions among people of other religions towards Islam, so that it can interfere with inter-religious harmony. This study aims to determine whether there is a negative perception among Christians towards Islam regarding acts of terrorism and what factors influence it. This explanatory research uses a cross-sectional approach. In collecting data, researchers used a questionnaire or questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Stepwise multiple linear regression test. From the research that has been done, the results show that even though there are acts of terrorism, the majority of Christians still have a positive perspective on Islam. Negative perceptions of Christians regarding terrorism are influenced by negative attitudes from external parties towards Islam and a lack of knowledge about Islam.

The main focus of the discussion to be examined in this article is how the level of decency or reasonableness that Christians should do, when they express themselves in Tik Tok. This topic needs to be discussed, considering that the Tik Tok application is one of the social media that is favored by Indonesian people from various groups and religions. In working on this paper, the researcher uses a literature study and phenomenological approach to answer the research questions to be discussed. As for the question, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this media? What is the concrete form of self-expression that users do in Tik Tok? And what is the perspective of Christian ethics in Tik Tok? The result obtained is that the Tik Tok social media makes it easier for all content actors to go viral, both positive and negative, because the Tik Tok For You Page algorithm gives everyone equal opportunities. The dominant forms of self-expression in Tik Tok by users are dancing, dancing and lip syncing. As a result, elements of eroticism, sensuality by showing body curves and mocking are often carried out. The principle of Christian ethics strictly prohibits Christians from displaying a bad lifestyle, let alone being impolite. Because Christians are labeled as the epistle of Christ to be able to be an example in words and deeds as the light of the world.

This research is motivated by various legal cases (criminal or civil) involving Christians or clergy as individuals, as well as churches or Christian foundations as a Christian institution which chooses litigation as the settlement process. Even though the legal approach is guaranteed by the constitution, the emergence of legal cases that were prosecuted by Christians has become public consumption, causing problems with the effectiveness of the marturia of God's church. Meanwhile, in the light of the Bible, litigation is not the only solution to dispute resolution. Alternative efforts that are based on Christian values should be put forward as a preventive as well as a solution to the presence of problems among Christians. Therefore, this research was conducted to find alternative approaches to legal proceedings when a dispute occurs between Christians based on 1 Corinthians 6:1-11. The study uses descriptive qualitative research methods with a literature review approach to related issues, as well as the application of the principles of exegesis and hermeneutics in exploring the selected texts. The discussion presents findings that non-litigation steps can be put forward when disputes occur with a certain intensity through normative-ecclesiological, mediative and restorative approaches where dispute resolution among Christians should prioritize Bible values for the glory of Christ as the head of the church.
