PANGGILAN KRISTIANI, GEREJA, FILSAFAT DAN PANCASILA
In this paper the author reflects on the vocation of Catholic places for the study of philosophy and theology. Believing the gospel, Christians are called to give witness to its redeeming power. But almost from the very beginning Christians felt the need to understand what they believe. From this need rose theology and philosophy. Protestantism, enlightenment and secularism posed new challenges. Aware of them the Catholic Church, since the Council of Trent, obliges her priests to study philosophy and theology. The author then suggests that not only future priests, but also religious sisters, brothers and lay people should get a solid philosophical and theological formation. Our teaching of philosophy should be open also to non-Catholics and non-Christians. Our philosophical and theological institutions must not be inward looking, but enter into the intellectual discourse of the whole society. Turning to Indonesia the author shows that state philosophy Pancasila poses an intellectual challenge for Catholic philosophers they should take up. As a closing note the author points to new challenges the Catholic Church faces after the Second Vatican Council. Indonesian Catholic philosophers and theologians should take an active part in facing them
KEKUASAAN POLITIK MENURUT NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
Kekuasaan politik merupakan bagian integral hidup manusia, yang erat kaitannya dengan kehidupan bermasyarakat. Namun sering menjadi masalah: bagaimana menerapkannya secara benar? Banyak ahli mencoba mengungkapkan buah pikirannya. Salah satu di antaranya adalah Niccolo Machiavelli. Niccolo Machiavelli tampaknya lebih menekankan metode atau cara-cara penggunaan kekuasaan politik. Dia berpendapat bahwa politik pada hakikatnya merupakan kekuasaan. Ditandaskannya bahwa kekuasaan harus menjadi sarana ampuh untuk mengatur kepentingan negara. Kepentingan negara menjadi prioritas yang mampu menyisihkan semua kepentingan-kepentingan lainnya. Sehubungan dengan itu, Machiavelli berpandangan bahwa segala tindakan, baik itu bersifat kriminal, amoral, licik. jahat maupun kejam, yang dilakukan oleh seorang penguasa, adalah sah bila tujuannya untuk kepentingan negara

MAKNA PENDERITAAN YESUS: Uraian Eksegetis dan Refleksi Teologis MRK 15:33-39
Suffering is an essential part of human nature. Suffering appears in all forms, from physical, and psychological to spiritual. What causes it and what does it mean? Human history offers a variety of answers, but no single answer is satisfactory. The definitive and perfect answer can only be found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became human and suffered, was crucified, and died on the cross. The answer will be presented through exegetical description and theological reflection on Mrk 15:33-39 using library research methods. The crucified Jesus is depicted in real terms through terrible suffering, feelings of abandonment from God the Father, and the voluntary surrender of His life. The climax of Jesus’ suffering was expressed in His cry, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Mrk 15:34). Quoting the prayer of the righteous suffering man in Ps 22:2, a seemingly desperate cry becomes a cry of confidence in God’s coming presence and glorification. By voluntarily entering into the greatest suffering, Jesus revealed the true meaning of suffering and became the hope for all human beings experiencing suffering in their lives. As an innocent Servant of God the Father, He willingly endured human suffering, in order to enable humans to share in His salvific suffering. By entering into the mystery of the suffering of Jesus Christ, humanity discovers the true meaning of suffering. Through the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, those who are sick and suffering are united with Jesus so that they can also obtain His liberation and glorification. Imitating Jesus’ attitude of voluntarily accepting suffering can free a person from the influence and impact of suffering itself. Inner freedom based on trust, hope, and love for God not only enables a person to endure life’s suffering patiently but also turns it into something good and useful for himself/herself and others. Saint Francis of Assisi is obvious evidence when he actually found joy in all suffering with a holy desire, namely to feel as much suffering as possible as well as the love of Christ

It relies primarily on library materials, Church documents, books, periodicals, and journals which are related to the study. The results of this investigation with its assumptions regarding institutional apostolates and its willingness to think of Christian existence as separable from sharing Jesus’ mission should be recast in the light of the New Testament discipleship. In order to renew the spirit of disciples is a need to examine the type of Jesus’s formation. The implication of this research to presents the biblical and theological foundation relationship with God, referred as disciples. The relation occurs throughout salvation history as manifestation of God’s love

The researchers categorized them into four types anthropomorphic image metaphors, animal image metaphors. Abstract metaphors, and synesthesia imagery metaphors. The research uses Parera’s theory of metaphor as the analytical framework. The results show that most metaphors are translated metaphorically, yet there are cases where the translation deviates to fit the cultural context of the Toba Batak language. The findings highlight the linguistic and cultural challenges in translating metaphors across languages with different cultural references and religious interpretations. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complexities involved in metaphor translation, especially in religious texts
FAKTOR-FAKTOR PENGHAMBAT PELAKSANAAN PENDAFTARAN TANAH DI KELURAHAN SIOGUNGOGUNG KECAMATAN PANGURURAN KABUPATEN SAMOSIR
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pelaksanaan pendaftaran tanah adat dan mengetahui hambatan yang dihadapi masyarakat di Kelurahan Siogungogung, Kecamatan Pangururan, Kabupaten Samosir. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari data primer yang diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan Lurah Siogungogung, dan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari literatur serta peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendaftaran tanah di Kelurahan Siogungogung masih rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kepemilikan tanah yang umumnya bersifat milik bersama (tanah marga), meskipun penguasaan dilakukan secara individu. Beberapa hambatan yang dihadapi antara lain sengketa lahan, keberadaan ahli waris yang tidak berada di lokasi, serta ketidakjelasan kepemilikan hak atas tanah. Hal ini semakin diperparah dengan keluarnya berbagai peraturan terkait kehutanan dan sempadan Danau Toba. Salah satu contohnya adalah Surat Keputusan Menteri Kehutanan No. 579 Tahun 2014 yang menetapkan Gunung Pusuk Buhit sebagai kawasan hutan lindung, sehingga tanah masyarakat adat di kawasan tersebut tidak bisa didaftarkan, bahkan status tanah menjadi tidak jelas. Selain itu, Peraturan Presiden No. 81 Tahun 2014 dan Perda Samosir No. 3 Tahun 2018 juga menetapkan garis sempadan Danau Toba yang mengurangi hak masyarakat atas tanah di sekitar danau. Pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pentingnya sertifikat tanah juga masih rendah, sebagian besar hanya mengetahui keberadaan sertifikat tanpa memahami fungsinya sebagai bukti sah kepemilikan. Namun, Pemerintah Kelurahan Siogungogung tetap berusaha meningkatkan pendaftaran tanah melalui program-program seperti TORA (Tanah Objek Agraria), PRONA (Program Nasional Agraria), dan PTSL (Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap), serta berbagai sosialisasi untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan partisipasi masyarakat
Variasi Dosis Mulsa Organik Akasia dan Kirinyuh dalam Mengendalikan Gulma pada Tanaman Kedelai : Studi Karakteristik Pertumbuhan Tanaman Kedelai
The success of controlling weeds in soybean plantations, apart from being determined by the type, also determines the dose of mulch. This research aims to obtain the type and dosage of organic mulch to control weeds in soybean plantations. The research was carried out from August to December 2024, in Lawe Sagu Hulu Village, Lawe Bulan District, Southeast Aceh Regency, Aceh Province. The types of organic mulch used are: acacia and kirinyuh, and the doses used are: 0; 4.8; 9.6; 14.4 and 19.2 tons ha-1. The design used was a bifactorial randomized block design with 4 replications. The variables observed were: plant height, number of leaves, root wet weight and plant wet weight. The results of the research show that the kirinyuh type of organic mulch can increase plant height during the 20th and 30th daily periods. An organic mulch dose of 14.4 tons ha-1 can increase the height of soybean plants for the 20, 30 and 40 daily periods and increase the wet weight of soybean plants for the 20, 30, 40 and 50 daily periods. A dose of 19.2 tons ha-1 can increase the wet weight of roots for 20 daily periods. There was no interaction between the type and dose of acacia and kirinyuh organic mulch on the observation of soybean plant growth
