Abstract

Homosexuality is a serious issue for discussion in recent years. The existence of homosexuals who are increasingly open, has invited pros and cons both among academics, religious leaders and even the public who are active in seeking wisdom and truth. Taking into account this issue, the researcher conducted a critical study to see the biblical anthropological view of homosexuals by using qualitative research methods. After conducting research, concluded that the existence of homosexuality is a result of human fall into sin which affects the area of human life. Viewed from a biblical anthropological perspective, homosexual behavior is a deviation from God's Word. However, those with illnesses or disabilities such as homosexuals must still be served by the Church. The church must be called to provide understanding so that they are aware and return to the right path according to God's Word.Homoseksual merupakan isu yang serius untuk didiskusikan beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Eksistensi homoseksual yang semakin terbuka, telah mengundang pro dan kontra baik di kalangan akademisi, tokoh rohaniwan bahkan masyarakat yang giat untuk mencari kebijaksanaan dan kebenaran. Memperhatikan persoalan ini, peneliti melakukan kajian secara kritis untuk melihat pandangan antropologis biblika terhadap kaum homo seksual dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Setelah melakukan penelitian, berkesimpulan bahwa keberadaan homoseksual merupakan akibat dari kejatuhan manusia dalam dosa yang berefek pada aera kehidupan manusia. Ditinjau dari perspektif antropologis biblika, perilaku homoseksual merupakan penyimpangan terhadap Firman Allah. Namun demikian, mereka yang mengalami penyakit atau kelainan seperti homoseksual harus tetap dilayani oleh Gereja. Gereja harus terpanggil untuk memberikan pemahaman agar mereka sadar dan kembali ke jalan yang benar sesuai Firman Allah.

Abstract

This study examines the role of archaeological evidence in strengthening the Christian faith today. Amid rampant doubt and skepticism, archaeological discoveries offer historical verification and contextualization of biblical stories. This research reviews important archaeological discoveries related to people, places, and events in the Bible. This evidence demonstrates the historical accuracy of the Bible and strengthens confidence in the stories it contains. Furthermore, this study discusses how archaeological findings allow Christians to better understand and appreciate the meaning of sacred texts. Although archaeology cannot prove all aspects of the Christian faith, it offers valuable tools for strengthening faith and combating doubt. By connecting the Bible with physical evidence, archaeology helps build bridges between past and present, allowing Christians to connect with the heritage of their faith more deeply. Penelitian ini mengkaji peran bukti arkeologi dalam memperkuat iman Kristen di masa kini. Di tengah maraknya keraguan dan skeptisisme, penemuan arkeologi menawarkan verifikasi sejarah dan kontekstualisasi kisah-kisah Alkitab. Penelitian ini meninjau penemuan arkeologi penting yang terkait dengan orang, tempat, dan peristiwa dalam Alkitab. Bukti-bukti ini menunjukkan keakuratan historis Alkitab dan memperkuat kepercayaan terhadap kisah-kisah yang terkandung di dalamnya. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini membahas bagaimana temuan arkeologi memungkinkan umat Kristiani untuk lebih memahami dan menghargai makna teks suci. Meskipun arkeologi tidak dapat membuktikan semua aspek iman Kristen, ia menawarkan alat berharga untuk memperkuat iman dan memerangi keraguan. Dengan menghubungkan Alkitab dengan bukti fisik, arkeologi membantu membangun jembatan antara masa lalu dan masa kini, memungkinkan umat Kristiani untuk secara lebih mendalam terhubung dengan warisan iman mereka.

Abstract

In showing the relationship between humans and nature, interpreters still often use Genesis 1:28 to understand humans' relationship with the rest of creation. The words 'conquer' and 'dominate' in caring for the earth are interpreted as the superior power possessed by humans to view the relationship between humans and nature because Allah gave them the responsibility and right to regulate and rule all creation on earth. This interpretation gives rise to power that is hierarchical in nature because humans are placed directly above other created creatures so that humans can exploit created creatures according to human wishes. Through Genesis 9:12-17, researchers will conduct research to see the eternal covenant that God made to humans and all other creations. God's eternal covenant with living creatures is the basis for seeing God's attitude towards all of His creatures. Is the anthropocentric attitude still the basis on which humans view the rest of God's creation? So, this research can become one of the foundations of ecological theology, which is able to change the attitude of viewing other created creatures only as beneficial interests for humans to viewing created creatures from their intrinsic value. Other created creatures cannot be manipulated by humans, so it is not the nature of exploitation that is born but the nature that loves created creatures.

Abstract

This article delves into the notion of reconciliation as presented in Christian doctrine and examines its significance in the context of religious moderation for promoting interfaith harmony in Indonesia. The objective of this study is to elucidate the principles of reconciliation within Christian teachings and discern the implications of this concept within the realm of religious moderation. The research methodology employed is a literature review, with a primary focus on analyzing the theology of reconciliation and its incorporation into religious moderation. The findings of this research underscore that Christian teachings concerning reconciliation encompass values such as forgiveness, peace, and inner transformation. These values align with the essence of religious moderation, which encourages dialogue, tolerance, and interfaith cooperation. The implications of these reconciliation principles from Christian teachings for religious moderation exhibit substantial potential in fostering interfaith harmony in Indonesia. To attain this objective, it is evident that these teachings play a pivotal role in shaping an all-encompassing and peaceful society within the context of existing religious diversity, thereby offering significant potential to fortify the harmonious coexistence of various religions in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explores life transformation through habit transformation, focusing on Daniel's perspective in facing cultural diversity.

Consistency, patience, and awareness of the adverse consequences of habits are key to successfully shaping a resilient character. By presenting novel ideas on life transformation, the article provides a unique perspective on Daniel's journey in confronting cultural diversity.

Abstract

Tema mengenai penundaan parousia sering kali menjadi bagian sentral dalam eskatologi Perjanjian Baru. Namun pemahaman tersebut hanya berhenti sebatas “pengharapan” oleh manusia saja. Artinya, yang ditunggu masih belum tiba. Menariknya, hanya dalam perumpamaan sepuluh gadis (Mat. 25:1-13) saja, “sosok” yang diharapkan tiba, telah tiba. Ia adalah mempelai laki-laki. Di sinilah letak kebaruan penelitian dalam artikel ini, sebab ketibaan “sosok” yang ditunggu ini menimbulkan paham lateness eschatology dan bukan delayed eschatology. Argumen utama dari artikel ini adalah bahwa 1) sangat aneh menerima kenyataan bahwa Yesus datang terlambat dalam pesta-Nya sendiri (jika pembaca masih menyejajarkan figur Yesus dengan mempelai laki-laki), dan oleh sebab itu, 2) muncul paham tentang lateness eschatology hanya dalam perumpamaan ini. Namun baik itu delayed maupun lateness, keduanya bukan karena Allah pada diri-Nya sendiri menyampaikan keterlambatan atau penundaan kedatangan-Nya, melainkan akibat pengharapan berlebih oleh manusia. Akhirnya, artikel ini membuka wacana apakah memang ada “keterlambatan” seperti itu dan mengapa tema tersebut muncul dalam Injil Matius.

Abstract

The book of Judges 6 is a book that tells the life of the Israelites during the time of the Judges, and one of the most famous stories is about the life of Gideon, an outstanding judge. In verses 25-26 there is an unusual line of narration, which readers will find odd, concerning the "second bull." Any reader would ask, why the second bull? Why not the first bull? Where is the first bull? Dominic Rudman has specifically researched this part of the text, but has not formulated a definitive answer and no other studies have specifically analyzed this phrase. Many interpretations of this phrase, too, are often based on thematic and historical interpretations of Gideon's narrative, without regard to the context of the verse. Since there are very few studies oriented towards this phrase and in order to find its exact meaning, this article analyzes the phrase "second bull" using a qualitative method based on hermeneutic exegesis. This article finds three important meanings of the phrase "the second bull": firstly, it refers to the oxen as per the meaning of the text; secondly, it refers to the oxen set aside for the Lord; and thirdly, it refers to Gideon's obedient response to the Lord. The results of this study have added exegetical and theological insight and value to support a better understanding of this phrase in the book of Judges.   Kitab Hakim-hakim 6 merupakan kitab yang menceritakan kehidupan bangsa Israel pada masa Hakim-hakim, dan salah satu kisah yang terkenal adalah mengenai kehidupan Gideon, seorang hakim yang luar biasa. Pada ayat 25-26 terdapat alur narasi yang tidak biasa, karena dinilai janggal oleh para pembaca, mengenai “lembu jantan kedua.” Setiap pembaca akan bertanya, mengapa harus lembu jantan kedua? Mengapa bukan lembu jantan yang pertama? Di mana lembu jantan yang pertama? Dominic Rudman telah secara khusus meneliti bagian teks ini, tetapi tidak merumuskan jawaban yang dapat dijadikan acuan secara pasti serta belum adanya penelitian lain yang secara spesifik, yang menganalisis frase ini. Banyak interpretasi terhadap frase ini juga, sering didasarkan pada tafsiran tematis dan historis dari narasi Gideon, tanpa memperhatikan konteks ayat tersebut. Dikarenakan sangat sedikit penelitian yang berorientasi dalam pembahasan frase ini dan untuk menemukan makna yang pasti, maka artikel ini menganalisis frase “lembu jantan kedua” dengan metode kualitatif berdasarkan study hermeneutik eksegesis. Artikel ini menemukan ada tiga makna penting dari frase “lembu jantan kedua” yakni: pertama, frase ini merujuk kepada lembu tambun sesuai makna teks; kedua, frase ini merujuk kepada lembu yang dikhususkan bagi Tuhan; dan ketiga, frase ini merujuk kepada respons ketaatan Gideon terhadap Tuhan. Hasil penelitian ini, telah menambah wawasan dan nilai eksegetis dan teologis untuk mendukung pemahaman yang lebih baik terhadap frase ini dalam kitab Hakim-hakim.
