Abstract

This paper explores the phenomenon of possession (kesurupan) from multiple perspectives, including theological, psychological, and cultural viewpoints. The study highlights how possession is understood and interpreted differently across various traditions, particularly within Indonesian culture. It examines the relationship between possession and spiritual beliefs, addressing both the communal and individual dimensions of the experience. The paper also delves into the psychological implications of possession, analyzing how mental health professionals approach cases of possession in contrast to religious practitioners. From a theological perspective, it is often interpreted as a demonic phenomenon, while empirical studies generally categorize it as a form of dissociative experience. By synthesizing these diverse perspectives, the paper aims to provide a synthetic understanding of possession, offering insights into its complex nature and the various factors that contribute to its manifestation. The study concludes with reflections on the implications for conversation  between religious and psychological perspectives for Christian ministry in Indonesia.

Abstract

One of the problems in Christian families occurs when parents shift the responsibility of educating their children to educational institutions. Even if they finally realise the biblical guidance that parents are responsible for educating their children, they do not understand the method of teaching in the home. The biblical text, Deuteronomy 6:7-9, primarily addresses this issue. The purpose of this study is to show the pattern of repetition as a method of teaching in the household of God's people. The research was conducted by applying exegetical procedures to the target passage, aided by a literature review. Biblical commentaries and biblical journal articles were used to interpret the meaning of the passage. An exploration of the target passage shows that the household teaching method mandated in Deuteronomy 6:7-9 is based on love for God and has three important components: the discipline of repetition, fellowship with God, and social norms in the community. Ultimately, the simple repetition method is effective in cultivating children's spirituality.

Abstract

Humans are fragile beings, and even the knowledge they possess may not save them from eternal punishment. Humanity needs God for salvation, once and for all, a salvation that cannot be lost, as outlined in the doctrine of salvation in Evangelical Theology. This paper aims to historically elaborate on the concept of salvation in Evangelical theology and the biblical foundations of Evangelical beliefs, where it is not salvation that is lost, but rather humans themselves who are lost from God's presence for not accepting Christ as their Savior. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, it gathers sources as evidence of the long journey of the Christian faith. Ultimately, through Evangelical doctrinal perspectives, it can open doors to proclaim salvation for everyone amid the challenges of the times.

Abstract

Nowadays, the problem that occurs in the context of marriage is the occurrence of interfaith marriage. Interfaith marriage in question is a marriage between a man and a woman of different religions and each maintains the religion they adhere to. Therefore, the question of how the Christian faith actually responds to the pros and cons of interfaith marriage is important to review again. Furthermore, who or what is the basis for the continuation of marriage according to the biblical context will be traced through Deuteronomy 7:1-11. The biblical search was carried out hermeneutically-exegegetically using various related literature. This question then became the main problem to be studied in this paper. The findings from the biblical search of Deuteronomy 7:1-11 show that LORD is the basis and key to the continuation of an ideal marriage in order to respond to the pros and cons of interfaith marriage.

Abstract

Nature is part of human life. But, the humans as imago Dei often abuse their superiority over other creations. The Bible tells that God formed humans from the Earth in His image and likeness, then breathed into them (Gen. 2:7). Glory, honor, and power to subdue the earth and all other creations are given to humans (Gen. 1:26-28; 5:1; 9:6). Humans understand this as justification for acts of control and destructive-exploitative treatment of nature and all creations and to fulfill human interests. So Theology as part of human reflection on this reality needs to respond to do something about this phenomenon. Through the Story of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2: 8-17, it is the story of the beginning of harmonious creation according to God's will which is described as something good. This becomes a discussion starter about how the ideal picture of the relationship of each creation with an ecological hermeneutic approach finds and shows the complexity of the relationship between God, Man and other creations. This story becomes a picture of relational theology as an effort to bring each other to life as fellow creations on this earth.

Abstract

Surat Efesus, yang ditulis Rasul Paulus, menyoroti berbagai aspek kerohanian jemaat yang pernah dilayaninya, termasuk doa sebagai elemen penting dalam perjalanan iman mereka. Dalam Efesus 3:14-21, tercatat sebuah doa khusus dari Paulus bagi jemaat Efesus. Doa ini mengandung makna yang dalam dan menjadi fokus penelitian ini, dengan pertanyaan utama: Mengapa doa menjadi topik yang penting dalam teks tersebut? dan Apa situasi yang mendorong Paulus berdoa demikian bagi mereka? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksegesis biblika, yang meliputi analisis teks, konteks historis, dan teologis, untuk menggali signifikansi doa Paulus serta latar belakang yang mendasarinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa doa Paulus mengandung tiga pilar utama yang mencerminkan signifikansi doa itu sendiri: 1) Sikap tubuh dan hati dalam berdoa, yang menunjukkan ketundukan dan kerendahan hati; 2) Permohonan-permohonan doa, yang berfokus pada penguatan iman dan pemahaman kasih Kristus; dan 3) Tujuan utama doa, yang berkaitan dengan kemuliaan Allah. Ketiga pilar ini saling terkait dan membentuk doa yang teosentris, yaitu berpusat pada kemuliaan Allah. Dengan demikian, doa Paulus bukan hanya menjadi sarana penguatan rohani bagi jemaat Efesus, tetapi juga menegaskan pentingnya keterikatan dengan Allah dan keterlibatan dalam misi-Nya. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang mendalam tentang signifikansi doa dalam kehidupan Kristen, serta relevansinya bagi gereja masa kini.
Injil di Tengah Tradisi Santet: Refleksi Misiologis atas Ulangan 18:9-14 dan Budaya Nias Utara Lumbantoruan, Poda Oky Tober; Mendrofa, Jernita; Telaumbanua, Intan Sari; Illu, Jonidius

Abstract

The practice of santet (witchcraft) that still exists within Nias culture reflects a search for spiritual power outside of the living God. In this context, the message of the Gospel faces both a challenge and an opportunity to demonstrate the power of God in Jesus Christ, who brings liberation. This article is a missiological reflection on Deuteronomy 18:9–14, which firmly rejects occult practices, and explores how this passage is relevant in addressing local cultural phenomena such as santet in Nias. Using a theological-contextual approach, this paper analyzes the encounter between the Gospel and local culture, and proposes mission strategies that can reach communities without disregarding their positive cultural values. The proclamation of the Gospel must affirm the authority of God in Jesus Christ, alongside the confidence given to believers through the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome all forces of darkness. At the same time, it must also reveal the love and power of Jesus Christ to heal, restore, and deliver from intimidation. This writing is intended to contribute to the development of mission strategies that are relevant, culturally sensitive, and transformative in communities that continue to wrestle with traditional spiritual powers such as santet.

Abstract

Denominasi gereja-gereja di Indonesia sebagian besar disebabkan adanya perselisihan dan perpecahan dalam gereja karena faktor budaya, pandangan doktrin yang berbeda, politik kekuasaan dalam gereja, persoalan liturgika, sehingga terjadi konflik dan membuka denominasi gereja baru. Hingga beberapa pimpinan gereja dan jemaat menganggap gerejanyalah yang paling benar yang sesuai dengan firman Allah dan ajaran Kristus serta mengelompokan diri menurut bapak rohani mereka. Akibat banyak denominasi gereja-gereja di Indonesia sangat berdampak dalam kualitas iman jemaat yang menyebabkan ketidak konsistenan jemaat sehingga sering berpindah-pindah gereja, perceraian keluarga atau pergantian jemaat (pindah gereja, saling merebut jemaat) menjadi suatu permasalahan antar gereja mengakibatkan ketidakpastian jemaat dapat menyebabkan fragmentasi dalam kehidupan bergereja. Persoalan inilah penulis mencoba melihat pergumulan gereja mula-mula di Korintus dengan menafsir teks kitab 1 Korintus 3:10-23 melalui pendekatan metode Social Scientific-Criticism (Kritik Sosiologi). Bagaimana pangalaman jemaat dan bagaimana pandangan Paulus tentang Firman Allah kepada jemaat mula-mula di Kota Korintus yang pada saat itu terjadi perselisihan jemaat pengkotak-kotakan kelompok Apolos, Kefas, Paulus, Kristus, karena beda pandangan tentang pengajaran, budaya, dan status sosial jemaat dengan merelevansikan gereja-gereja yang ada di Indonesia pada masa kini.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the theological reasons why humans marry, as set out in the biblical narratives from Genesis to the New Testament. Through a review of literature and a theological interpretive approach, it demonstrates that marriage is an integral part of the divine mandate and a reflection of God's love, rather than merely a social or biological necessity. It highlights that marriage is rooted in creation, love, character development and participation in God's mission on earth. Furthermore, it discusses key principles for building a Christian family, including the roles of husband and wife, effective communication, financial management, and spiritual development. The article concludes that a healthy Christian marriage can only be established on the true principles of God's word.
