Abstract

The government's decision to implement social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the concept, method, and design of education. Teaching and learning activities that were originally face-to-face are now being replaced by learning using electronic media (e-learning) or online learning systems. Like formal education, Covid-19 has also changed the concept, method, and design of Bible studies carried out by churches, church institutions, and theological schools. The research aims to obtain information about the problems that hinder online Bible studies carried out by churches, church organizations, and theological schools during the Covid-19 pandemic and find solutions. The research belongs to the descriptive qualitative variety. The results of the study show that churches, church organizations, theological schools, including Christians, are not ready to carry out online Bible studies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of the problems that cause obstacles to online Bible learning are the availability of facilities such as networks, quotas, smartphones, or laptops, the skills of implementers and participants to use online learning applications, and the lack of good preparation from implementers including teachers. The solution to overcome this is the need for churches, church institutions, and theological schools to allocate funds for the procurement of online Bible study facilities, good preparation, especially from implementers and teachers, gathering a limited number of participants in places that have good internet access, and when buying quotas for participants who are economically disadvantaged.

Abstract

The Parmalim belief, which is the original religion of the Batak tribe, is often ignored and even considered as sipelebegu (worshipping ancestral spirits). On the one side, Parmalim has teachings that are similar to the Bible, so it becomes a challenge in itself to convey the message of the Gospel to the Parmalim community. So the purpose of this paper is to find a concept of evangelism without mocking and demeaning, instead showing sincere sympathy and respect for their beliefs by using similar teachings as a bridge in this evangelism. The formulation of the problem that will be a reference in this writing, namely, what are the teachings taught in the Parmalim belief? Do Parmalim's teachings have anything in common with the teachings in the Bible? What is Paul's method in Acts. 17:23 can be applied in this context? The method used is a qualitative method with data collection through literature studies, articles or related journals. The result is that the teachings of worship on Saturdays, the prohibition of eating blood, pigs and dogs can be used as a bridge to convey the gospel message according to Paul's concept in Acts 17:23, namely an approach without appreciating judgment.
