Abstract

This article employs a thematic analysis of Ecclesiastes 1:2–11 to elucidate the theological function of the phrase hebel as the conceptual framework of the book. A review of the extant literature reveals a general tendency among previous studies to emphasize the theme of the meaning of life in a broad sense or the book as a whole. Consequently, the prologue section has rarely been examined through thematic exegesis. Furthermore, previous studies have emphasized lexical analysis of hebel without relating it to the thematic structure of verses 2–11, so that the relationship between the verses and their contribution to the book's theological creed has not been fully explored. The passage is divided into five units by the study: hebel as a creed (verse 2), the limitations of human endeavor (verse 3), the cycle of the cosmos and transience (verses 4–7), existential weariness (verses 8–10), and historical oblivion (verse 11). The findings of the analysis demonstrate a progressive argument that affirms human limitations while criticizing empty optimism in life. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of wisdom theology by affirming that the passage under scrutiny serves to fortify the book's confrontational theological foundation. Moreover, it calls upon readers to adopt a God-centered orientation in life.

Abstract

Purity is the value of authenticity that has not been contaminated by anything else. In relation to service, purity is a form of sincerity and wholeheartedness in serving without having any other motivation. It emphasizes the will of God without mixing personal interests. Purity is an essential element that must be possessed by servants of God. Maintaining purity in service is not an easy task. Therefore, there is a need for a standard or benchmark in serving. Through qualitative methods that focus on literature study and phenomenological analysis, this paper elaborates and describes based on the results of the analysis of the ministry of the Lord Jesus. That is why this writing focuses on the example of the Lord Jesus which should serve as a guideline on how to serve. In facing different situations and conditions of ministry, a servant of God remains firm in maintaining purity that is not contaminated by motivations outside of Christ, namely by following His example.

Abstract

The polarization of the doctrine of salvation represents a significant difference of opinion regarding how humans can be saved. This polarization not only creates confusion in the congregation but also opens the door to the emergence of false teachings in response to differing views of salvation. As a result, the focus shifts from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and from the need for repentance from sin and spiritual transformation. Furthermore, internal and external conflicts arise within the church, which, if unchecked, will lead to division. The Bible explains that salvation is God's initiative and action in saving His people. This study uses literature to explain how God's sovereignty in the salvation process is final. Through Remnant Theology, salvation is understood as God's sovereignty in choosing His people and purifying them so that a holy people remain for God's future people. The results of this study indicate that God's sovereignty is seen in the election and salvation of God's people, who will become the remnant. Therefore, it has become final, that there can be no teaching of salvation without God's absolute right, in line with God's will within it.

Abstract

This article focuses on highlighting the theory of Anonymous Christians developed by Karl Rahner. This theory states that a person can attain salvation even if they do not explicitly identify themselves as a Christian. This concept emphasizes that God's grace works universally and transcends the boundaries of formal religion. Rahner combines Catholic Thomistic thought with existentialist philosophy to emphasize that humans have an inherent openness to God. The strengths and weaknesses of this theory present an interesting area for research. This study uses critical analysis methods to explore the relevance of this theory in relation to religious pluralism, secularization, and the challenges of globalization. The research findings indicate that the theory of Anonymous Christians remains relevant in fostering interfaith dialogue and social harmony in the modern era. This article emphasizes that the Church can use this concept as a basis for a more dialogic evangelization mission, strengthening interreligious tolerance, and responding to the dynamics of religious life in the digital era. This theory, in itself, shifts the understanding of salvation from an exclusive understanding to a more inclusive concept of salvation, and has received criticism from groups that view salvation exclusively.

Abstract

Modern reproductive technology advancements such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete donation, surrogacy, and genetic engineering have brought significant changes to human reproduction practices, while also raising increasingly complex bioethical and theological issues.A gap in academic research is evident in the limited studies that comprehensively examine the bioethical and theological-normative dimensions when assessing the moral implications of these technologies.This study aims to analyze the bioethics of modern reproductive technologies from a theological-normative perspective and identify the ethical implications they produce.The study employs a qualitative approach with a library research design.Data is collected from various academic literature, journals, and other relevant sources, then analyzed using content analysis to examine the principles of bioethics and the theological perspectives related to modern reproductive technologies.The findings show that although these technologies offer solutions for infertile couples, there are significant ethical concerns regarding the status of embryos, clarity of lineage, and the commercialization of the human body.These findings highlight the tension between modern bioethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, andjustice, and theological values that emphasize the sanctity of life and human moral responsibility.The significance of this study lies in its effort to integrate scientific and theological approaches in developing a more comprehensive ethical framework.In conclusion, modern reproductive technologies need to be regulated within a balanced ethical framework to respect human dignity and align with theological values.

Abstract

The doctrine of soteriology constitutes the core of Christian teaching concerning human salvation through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Within Reformed theology, salvation is understood as a free gift of God bestowed through faith in Christ. Although the Sabah Sidang Injil Borneo (SIB) Church is theologically grounded in Reformed principles, the understanding of salvation at the local church level is not always uniform, leading to uncertainty among congregants regarding their assurance of salvation. This study aims to analyze the influence of the soteriological doctrine from a Reformed perspective on the assurance of salvation among the congregation of SIB Iran Beluran Church. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative methods through questionnaires distributed to baptized members with qualitative methods involving literature reviews and in-depth interpretation of the quantitative data. The data were analyzed using regression testing alongside theological interpretation based on Reformed sources. The findings reveal a significant relationship between soteriological understanding and the level of assurance of salvation among the congregation. These result indicate that a robust theological understanding aligned with Reformed principles plays a vital role in fostering firm faith amidst life's challenges. This study offers practical contributions for the church in designing systematic and consistent theological instruction.
