Abstract

The sift in the world culture has urged the church to revisit its understanding of its role in society. One of the important issues in the current debate in ecclesiology is about the exclusivity of the church. In his book Multicultural Kingdom,[1] Harvey Kwiyani provides the historical overview of the development of the idea of a church over the last couple of hundreds of years that leads to the concept of a multicultural church. Some scholars are trying to come up with a good balance between the relevance and the identity of the church when its authority is being challenged. Theologian such as Barry Harvey believes that the church needs to be exclusive to some degree to preserve its identity to engage inclusively with the world.[2] Scholar such as Gerard Mannion, on the other hand, believes that the idea of an exclusive church is not relevant anymore.[3] Beside looking at the socio-anthropology perspective, this study seeks to understand the concept of the church from Peter’s perspective, as is highlighted in his literary feature. It will discuss the contemporary views about the church and compare them to Peter’s ecclesiology from literary analysis.

Abstract

Christians do not share the same view about the seventh day Sabbath and Sunday. A minority of Christians considers the Sabbath as still binding while a large majority dismisses it. For the latter, the cessation of Sabbath observance is traced back to the apostles. They believe that Sunday has replaced the Sabbath on account of Christ’s resurrection. However, the New Testament and historical documents reveal that the eclipse of Sunday over the Sabbath did not begin with the apostles. This means that the change must have occurred sometime after the apostles. A group of significant church leaders and theologians called church fathers arose in the second century onward whose theological understanding had profound impact on the Christians. What were their understanding of the Sabbath and Sunday? Should their understanding be accepted as normative for Christians today? This study is based on literary research methodology. The findings clearly indicate that in the understanding of most church fathers, Sunday had eclipsed and replaced Sabbath in importance and practice for Christians.

Abstract

Biblical worship is the response of created beings to the self-revelation of the Creator, and a proper response in worship engages both mind and body—the whole person. A closer study of the worship theme in the Psalter elucidates its physical dimension and the relevance of engaging the body in worshiping the Lord. This paper explores the importance of embodied worship as it is purported in the Psalter. First, the connection between biblical anthropology and worship is established. Arguments are presented from the book of Psalms to show how and why the physical aspect of human nature receives attention. Second, the study elucidates practical implications that can foster a deeper biblical worship experience. In particular, the processional movements studied in the book of Psalms teach us the proper attitude worshipers should nurture when they approach God in worship. The act of prostration expresses gratitude and ascribes honor to the Lord. Also, standing posture can instill a sense of commitment to consecrate ourselves to God.

Abstract

This study has examined the Hebrew expression לְרוּחַ הַיּוֹם, "in the cool of the day" (NASB), to determine the correct translation, motif, and theology on the ground of the context. By the exegetical framework, the literary context and structure portray the discourse of the imminent judgment of God and the repercussion. The proposed translation because of the Spirit of the day adduces the motif of divine judgment with God appearing in theophany, the glory-Spirit presence. The particle לְ supports the causative motif (because) instead of the preposition in. The theophany, the voice of God, judicially provokes the first humans to appear sinful before God and receive divine remedy for their sin. In conclusion, the text foreshadows the eschatological hope of the coming Lord as Judge in the great day of judgment and hope for salvation.

Abstract

The three angels’ messages (3AM) in Rev 14:6–13 are worldwide in scope. They contextually fit in the COVID-19 pandemic and other challenging situations. The message, media, and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are embedded in the 3AM. The identity of the target addressees, proclaiming angels, timing, and meaning of the 3AM are investigated in connection to the message, media, and mission of the church through the lens of the biblical-historical method of exegesis and historicism. The proclamation of the 3AM to the target fivefold group (“the earth-dwellers” and “every nation, tribe, tongue, and people”) is significantly relevant to the current pandemic and troublous times in preparation for the impending punitive judgment and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Abstract

The development of Church liturgical music today cannot be separated from the development of Church music over time. It is commonly understood that attempting to describe the over 2000-year history of the Church's music in a single tract is impractical. As a result, the breakdown is broad, allowing us to see the progression of Church music from one epoch to the next. Church music is influenced or exists in the context of history as a whole, as well as the context of music history as a whole. This paper focuses on the systematic review and examination of published primary sources that are kept in various collections, libraries, and record centers. The bibliography digs deeper into these sources as well as archival collections. The history of liturgical music has its unique musical style in every era. There is Baroque music (17th century), Renaissance music (15-17th century), Classical music (18th century), Romantic music (19th century), Impressionist music (late 19th century) but faded after World War I, and various modern music of the 20th century, both profane (such as jazz, tango, pop, rock, and so on) and religious. Today, music is regarded as an integral aspect of the Church's liturgy. Keywords: Church, Church Music, Liturgy, Music History

Abstract

Different concepts and motifs have been studied from the book of Daniel by expositors and interpreters without much consideration to the Aramaic terms that have worship nuances, undertones, and connotations. Through a contextual study, this paper contends that the Aramaic שׁבח highlights worship and its implication as integral to the book of Daniel. The study argues that שׁבח is an Aramaic worship expression and its contextual use emphasizes the sovereignty of God. The term’s usage in Daniel highlights the milieu of worship and uplifting either a deity or gods and the God of heaven. However, when idol worship is amplified, the effect is the pronouncement of judgment on the people carrying out such worship.

Abstract

The idea of when Jesus does His atonement has been a discussion between Protestants and Seventh-day Adventists. Evangelicals have thought that Adventists do not believe that the cross is a complete atonement of God. This question was raised in 1957 and Adventists answered it through Questions on Doctrine. This question, once believed by some Adventist pioneers, has its foundation in the writing of O.R.L. Crosier. This article aims to answer biblically why Crosier’s idea is rejected in this denomination. Using the word study of “atonement,” this work argues that the biblical idea of atonement involves the sacrifice and the application of the high priest in the sanctuary. The Old and New Testaments embrace the concept that Jesus died on Calvary and His application ministry in the heavenly sanctuary as atonement. The reason for Crosier’s limited perception of atonement since he focused on the work of the priest and was not on the overall idea of atonement in the Bible.

Abstract

The Christian faith arose from a Jewish cultural and religious background. The earliest Christians were Jews who observed the various Jewish religious practices including the Saturday Sabbath. In the early centuries, many Gentiles converted to Christianity. With the persecution of the Christians by the Jews and the Romans, the Christians distanced themselves from the Jews. They rejected many of the Jewish customs and practices including the Sabbath. In the early centuries, the change from the Sabbath to Sunday was made. Since then, Christianity has been divided doctrinally on the Sabbath and Sunday issue. The Roman Catholic Church played significant role in the origin and observance of Sunday. This paper is an attempt to understand the teachings of the Catholic Church on the Sabbath and Sunday. The study reveals that the Church bases its teachings on the subject on different biblical hermeneutics supported by Church Tradition. The Church argues for a replacement theology for the Jewish Sabbath on the ground of the resurrection of Christ. It also claims to have made the change from the Sabbath to Sunday on divine prerogatives and authority vested in the Church by God.

Abstract

The Greek word ta hagia in Hebrews 9:8 is semantic in nature. Many scholars agreed to some extent that there is indeed a disagreement among the modern English translation of the Bible in translating the word ta hagia in Hebrews 9:8. Some modern translations, translate it as “Most Holy Place”, some translate it as “sanctuary” and some even translate it as “Holy Place”. This paper clarifies the importance on looking on the grammatical categories of the word ta hagia and its immediate context to determine the correct translation for ta hagia which is a study that involves both lexical and literary contextual analysis. From the study, the Researcher found out that ta hagia should be translated as “sanctuary” or “holy places” in Hebrews 9:8.
