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.

Abstract

Modern medical literature reveals that leprosy is a treatable disease and not easily contagious. In contrast, theological literature, especially from biblical texts, often views leprosy as a symbol of sin and impurity, reinforcing social stigma against sufferers. This study combines theological and medical perspectives to provide a more comprehensive understanding of leprosy, focusing on Leviticus 13. Using descriptive qualitative methods and a literature review, this research analyzes various sources. The results indicate that ancient theological views of leprosy as divine punishment have perpetuated enduring social stigma. Meanwhile, modern medical perspectives offer scientific explanations that emphasize leprosy as a treatable medical condition, helping to reduce this stigma. This study suggests concrete steps to reduce stigma, such as community education, social integration of leprosy sufferers, empathy training for healthcare workers, and psychosocial support. This research not only enhances understanding of leprosy from historical and theological viewpoints but also provides practical ways to address social stigma and support the reintegration of leprosy sufferers into society.

Abstract

The postmodern era is characterized by a decadence of moral and spiritual values, including in Christian life. Many Christians lose their understanding of the true meaning of Christianity, which has an impact on behavior, moral values, and lifestyles that are contrary to the example of Jesus Christ. Church leaders tend to seek personal gain, avoid sacrifice, and serve with the wrong motivations. The Church of God is also often trapped in sin, unable to forgive, and views Christianity as a mere religion or routine. In this context, an understanding of kenosis—the self-emptying of Jesus Christ—can be a motivation to live authentic Christianity. Through a literature study with a qualitative approach, this study found that Jesus' kenosis that emphasizes obedience to God is an example for Christians to live according to His will. The meaning of kenosis invites Christians to abandon selfishness, live in holiness, and reflect the love of Christ in daily behavior. Thus, kenosis can be a spiritual foundation to restore the authenticity of Christian life in the postmodern era.

Abstract

The environmental damage that is happening today, such as climate change, deforestation, and ocean pollution, demands a holistic and cross-sectoral response. In this context, religion can play a significant role in shaping human mindsets and behaviours towards nature. Eco-theology is a theological approach that integrates concern for the environment in the context of the Christian faith. With reference to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically those related to ecosystems such as Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 14 (Ocean Ecosystems), and Goal 15 (Terrestrial Ecosystems), eco-theology offers an ethical framework to encourage collective responsibility for creation. The approach used is qualitative descriptive through literature study. As a result, this article explores the principles of Christian ethics that can support the achievement of the goals of the SDGs ecosystem, including sustainable resource management, ecological justice, and environmental spirituality. With a multidisciplinary approach, this article demonstrates the relevance of eco-theology in answering global ecological challenges. As an implementation, eco-theology can be carried out through the Green Church Community, Ecological Liturgy, and Faith-Based Environmental Education.

The study in the article covers several important aspects, including the description of insecurity in adolescents, the challenges faced in mental growth in that age range, the impact of unstable mental growth, the role of pastoral counseling in overcoming feelings of insecurity experienced by adolescents, and pastoral counseling strategies that can be applied. In the social and psychological context of adolescents, insecurity can be one of the complex problems and has a significant impact on their mental well-being. This study provides in-depth insights into the important role of pastoral counseling in helping adolescent students overcome insecurity and strengthen the mental development of adolescent students. The pastoral counseling perspective recognizes the importance of the spiritual dimension in adolescent life. Through this approach, pastoral counseling is able to help adolescents explore their values, beliefs, and meaning in life.

Abstract

Divorce is one of the things that every Christian family does not want. Especially in the Christian faith, divorce is generally prohibited. However, it is undeniable that there are many cases of divorce among Christian families today. This study aims to provide a different perspective on divorce in the Christian faith according to the text of Matthew 19:9. By using qualitative methods and contextual analysis of the text of Matthew 19:9, this study wants to look at divorce due to adultery. The analysis of the text of Matthew 19:9 is also linked to the understanding of theonomic ethics so that divorce can be done if there is indeed a problem of adultery in the Christian family. With a theonomic ethics approach that emphasizes freedom in human responsibility and how to side with victims, divorce in Christian families can be done, because God's will is not alien to the fulfillment of our humanity. So through this study, Christian families who are having marital problems are still able to see God's infinite love for the limited human ability or flesh.

Abstract

The tradition of Bόwό is one of the important cultural practices in the Nias tribal society, where the prospective husband gives a certain amount of money or property to the family of the prospective wife as a dowry. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Bόwό tradition on Christian family harmony with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Nias Tribe who have been involved in this tradition, as well as analysis of related literature. The results of the study show that although Bόwό is considered a symbol of appreciation and seriousness of the prospective husband, this tradition also has the potential to cause conflict in the family. Social pressure, unrealistic expectations, and shifting cultural values are the main factors that affect the negative impact of this tradition on household harmony. This research provides in-depth insight into the local cultural dynamics of the Nias Tribe and suggests the need for a more flexible approach in preserving traditions without sacrificing family harmony.
