Abstract

Kabbalah and Hermitism are often unwittingly adopted into the practice of Christian theology due to the clergy's ignorance of this occult philosophical knowledge. The practice of occult philosophy sometimes unconsciously enters into the social practice of Christian society, especially those that are thick with local culture. The concept of cultural inculturation is a legitimization that is often used as an excuse to announce the practice. The purpose of this writing is to provide theological thinking insights into the philosophical practices of the Kabbalah occult and Hermitism so that the church returns to the true teachings and is based on the principles of the Christian faith. This research method uses a qualitative method based on literature research, observation of social conditions, community culture, and history. The results of the study show that the practices of Philosophy, Kabbalah Occultism and Hermitism inadvertently inculturate the socio-pastoral conditions of the Christian faith, which also has an impact on legalized religious ritual actions.

Abstract

This study aims to bridge the understanding of the medical conditions that may have occurred in the centurion's servants in Capernaum as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew (8:5-13) and Luke (7:1-10). This research shows that the differences in descriptions of the servant's condition between the two Gospels are natural and understandable in the context of the knowledge and observations of each author. The results of the analysis show that the descriptions of paralysis and great suffering in Matthew and near death in Luke are consistent with the symptoms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Thus, this study shows that variations in the Gospel narratives reflect diverse eyewitness perspectives and enrich our understanding of the complexity of the testimonies about Jesus' life and ministry. In this way, we can understand that these differences should not be considered as contradictions but rather as natural variations in eyewitness reports based on the different viewpoints and emphases of each author.

Abstract

Samgar b. Anath is an unpopular judge in the history of the judges. His story only appears in two verses in the Bible, Judges 3:31 and Judges 5:6. The very limited story of Samgar b. Anat makes him less popular and desirable to discuss.   Therefore, this study aims to explore the origin and leadership of Samgar b. Anath as a judge over Israel, which has an impact on preparing oneself to be a leader.   The research used descriptive qualitative method, hermeneutic study and found three important lessons that impacted the preparation of being a leader, namely: first, leaders must prepare themselves well, because God can use anyone to be His chosen one; second, leaders must have a strong sense of confidence; third, leaders must rely on God. This research is very important and serves as input for leaders to decide to live right and make a difference, as well as develop the resources available to them.

Abstract

Currently, it is going viral on social media about deviant teachings from people who claim to be progressive Christians. The salvation taught by progressive Christians is contrary to the concept of salvation in the Christian faith. The Christian concept of salvation from ancient times to the present remains the same, never changing that salvation can only be obtained in Jesus Christ. The Bible very clearly says that He is the way, the truth, and the life; no one can come to the Father except through Him. In this research, the author used a descriptive qualitative research method with the aim of looking for Biblical evidence and literature regarding the correct concept of salvation regarding Christianity. The findings from the presentation of this topic reveal that the salvation taught by Progressive Christians is heretical because, firstly, it rejects Jesus as the only God and Savior of mankind; secondly, it upholds pluralism that in all religions there must be salvation; and thirdly, it teaches that salvation can be obtained by doing deeds. well, and fourthly rejecting the Bible as the ultimate authority for Christians.

Abstract

What faith is and how to express it are two essential questions that seem easy but are complicated to answer. According to the prosperity gospel adherents, faith must be expressed through imagining (visualization) and saying (affirmation), as written in Genesis 15:5-6. However, for some groups, this teaching deviates from the truth according to the Bible and is more similar to the law of attraction. This article intends to criticize the visualization concept and to explore what is faith according to Genesis 15:5-6 by using the library research method combined with text exposition. The conclusion is that according to Genesis 15:5-6, true faith focuses on God's will entirely without the help of the power of human thoughts and words. Thus, visualization teaching, apart from being unbiblical, is also humanistic and tends to lead to syncretism.

Abstract

This study explores the theological and practical significance of the Lord’s Supper within its soteriological, koinonia, missional, and eschatological dimensions. Employing biblical analysis, theological literature review, and field observations, this research offers a profound understanding of the Lord’s Supper and its application in contemporary church practices. The integrative approach adopted combines both theological and practical aspects, affirming that the Lord’s Supper is not merely an institutional rite but a command of Christ, rich in meaning. The findings reveal that the Lord’s Supper serves as a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice while also strengthening the eschatological hope of the Christian community. This study underscores the importance of eschatological understanding in worship and daily life, contributing to the development of church practices that are more mission-oriented and eschatologically focused.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of the concept of Free Learning in the practice of fieldwork (PKL) at the College of Theology (STT) to realize quality education in terms of increasing the activeness and creativity of students. Street vendors should ideally be a means for students to integrate theological knowledge with real practice, along with the flexibility and freedom provided by the concept of Free Learning. However, in practice, many times students face obstacles such as limited opportunities to innovate and even labor exploitation, where they are more assigned to jobs that do not correspond to their field of study. This study uses qualitative methods through literature studies, in-depth interviews and observations to identify the relationship between learning freedom and increased student creativity. Although previous studies have shown that innovation in street vendors can increase student engagement, this study shows that challenges in implementation in theological education still exist. The results of this study are expected to provide insights to improve the PKL system in STT, with recommendations to improve cooperation between campus and PKL institutions, as well as create a more supportive environment for student creativity, so that PKL can be a more effective forum for student competence development in accordance with the principle of Free Learning.

The negative impact of deforestation is air and air pollution due to logging and forest fires which threaten humans and wildlife. This research uses qualitative descriptive methods in conducting research. The aim of this research is to offer how the church should play a role in influencing the ecological crisis in Kalimantan, what the church's responsibility is for environmental conservation and what solutions the church can provide to deal with the problem of forest destruction in Kalimantan. The result is that the church has an important role in maintaining ecological sustainability through religious teachings, environmental education, and policy advocacy. The Church builds cooperation with all elements (church congregation, general community, government, NGOs, and community associations) in society to manage and preserve forests, especially in Kalimantan.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a multicultural nation, faces challenges in maintaining social harmony amidst ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity. This study examines an integrative strategy combining social theology, peacebuilding, and local wisdom as a holistic approach to fostering harmonious living. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and case studies, this research analyzes the role of social conflict theory, functionalism, symbolic interactionism, reconciliation theory, and the concept of Christ the Transformer of Culture in formulating a theology-based social strategy. The findings reveal that local wisdom, such as Martarombo in Batak culture, contains peace values aligned with social theology in fostering just and harmonious relationships. Social hermeneutics and thematic analysis are employed to explore the interconnection between cultural and theological values in reconciliation and social integration. This study concludes that social harmony can be achieved through the synergy of religion and culture as a sustainable peace strategy in Indonesia.
