Keutamaan Kristus dalam Karya Pemulihan-Nya: Pembacaan Kolose 1:20 Melalui Apokatastasis Balthasar dan Ware
No full textAbstract. This article seeks to show God's work of restoration of all things in order to restore all creation to the order of creation. Using Hans Urs von Balthasar and Kallistos Ware's thoughts on apocatastasis as a lens through which I read Colossians 1:20, I argue that this restoration of all things demonstrates God's Christocentric and comprehensive redemptive work. In Christ, this comprehensive redemption brings a memory to the goodness and beauty of God's creation and has a dimension of hope for all creatures, to be restored to become new creations.Abstrak. Artikel ini berupaya memperlihatkan karya pemulihan Allah atas segala sesuatu yang bertujuan untuk mengembalikan seluruh ciptaan kepada tatanan penciptaan. Dengan menggunakan pemikiran Hans Urs von Balthasar dan Kallistos Ware tentang apokatastasis (konsep pemulihan segala sesuatu) sebagai lensa dalam membaca teks Kolose 1:20, saya beragumen bahwa pemulihan segala sesuatu ini memperlihatkan karya penebusan Allah yang Kristosentris dan bersifat menyeluruh. Di dalam Kristus penebusan yang bersifat menyeluruh ini menghadirkan ingatan kepada kebaikan dan keindahan ciptaan Allah dan berdimensi pengharapan bagi seluruh makhluk, yaitu dipulihkan untuk menjadi ciptaan baru

No full textAbstract. This article discussed the differences of pela as a Moluccan cultural rite and Holly Supper as a Christian rites in the reality of Islam-Christian reconciliation in Maluku based on sacramental theology view of Susan Ross. In Maluku, both Islam and Christian community attack each other due to the distrust that arise from a conflict that happened in 1999. Both Holly Supper, as a Christian rite, and pela, as a Moluccan sacred cultural rite, offeres the uniqueness of the reconciliation process. Using Susan Ross’ perspective on sacramental theology, pela and the Holly Supper could be developed to a new sacred rite that embraces both Christian and Islam community to maintain the reconciliation in Maluku without eliminating the theological perspective on how God works in Moluccan society.Abstrak. Artikel ini mendiskusikan perbedaan pela sebagai ritus budaya Maluku dan Perjamuan Kudus sebagai ritus Kristen dalam rekonsiliasi Islam-Kristen di Maluku melalui lensa teologi sakramental Susan Ross. Di Maluku, kelompok Islam dan Kristen saling menyerang sebagai akibat dari adanya konflik 1999. Baik Perjamuan Kudus maupun pela menawarkan keunikan proses rekonsiliasi. Dengan menelisik cara berpikir sakramental Susan Ross, pela dan Perjamuan Kudus dapat dikembangkan menjadi ritus baru dapat merangkul komunitas Kristen dan Islam dalam menjaga stabilitas rekonsiliasi tanpa mengurangi perspektif teologi bagaimana Allah bekerja dalam komunitas Maluku
Kerajaan Allah dan Transformasi Sosial: Dialetika Kedatangan Kerajaan Allah dan Implikasi Masa Kini
No full textAbstract. Discourses concerning the dialectical coming of the Kingdom of God in Christian theology are debatbale, including its time and relationship to the present. This study focuses to find a connection between the dialectic of the Kingdom of God and social transformation, and its implications to the present. In reaching that goal, the Indicative-Imperative method in bibilical ethics is applied. It means that the works and the will of God become the indicative, and the God’s commands or men’s responsibilities become the the imperative. Based on this research, Christian ethics is performed not only as hope and anticipation to the coming of the Kingdom but also as respond and participaton to the Kingdom’s mission. There is a close connection between the Kingdom of God and social transformation. Therefore, the church can perform the Kingdom’s mission in the world as an agent of social transformation.Abstrak. Wacana tentang dialektika kedatangan Kerajaan Allah dalam teologi Kristen mengandung perdebatan, baik terkait waktu kedatangan maupun kaitannya dengan kehidupan saat ini. Fokus tulisan ini adalah meneliti kaitan antara dialektika Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial dan implikasinya bagi kehidupan masa kini. Dalam rangka itu penulis menggunakan pendekatan Indikatif-Imperatif dalam etika Alkitab. Pendekatan ini menjadikan tindakan dan kehendak Allah sebagai indikatif, dan perintah Allah atau tanggung jawab manusia sebagai imperatifnya. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa etika Kristen dilakukan bukan hanya sebagai harapan dan antisipasi terhadap datangnya Kerajaan Allah, melainkan juga sebagai respons dan partisipasi terhadap misi Kerajaan Allah. Ada kaitan erat antara Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial. Oleh karena itu, gereja dapat menjalankan misi Kerajaan Allah di dunia sebagai agen transformasi sosial
Efektivitas Bimbingan Pranikah untuk Mengantisipasi Stunting
No full textAbstract. Since 2019, a premarital counseling program, as a form of Christian religious education at the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT), has been implemented, specifically to provide an understanding of reproduction health and the first thousand days of life regarding stunting. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of premarital counseling in anticipating stunting at GMIT Sion Kuli, Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The research method used is a qualitative method. The research result showed that the premarital counseling program has not been effective in anticipating stunting because it has not focused on anticipating stunting. Thus, it can be concluded that the church has not paid serious attention to anticipate the danger of stunting.Abstrak. Sejak tahun 2019, program bimbingan pranikah, sebagai salah satu bentuk Pendidikan Agama Kristen di Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (GMIT) telah dilaksanakan, khususnya untuk memberikan pemahaman tentang kesehatan reproduksi dan periode seribu hari pertama kehidupan yang menyangkut stunting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas bimbingan pranikah dalam mengantisipasi stunting di GMIT Sion Kuli Kabupaten Rote Ndao, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program bimbingan pranikah belum efektif dalam mengantisipasi stunting karena belum berfokus pada antisipasi stunting. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa gereja belum memberikan perhatian serius dalam antisipasi bahaya stunting
Melampaui Batas Tradisi: Kritik Teks terhadap Ayat-ayat Tambahan dalam Perjanjian Baru
No full textAbstract. This research discusses the urgency of textual criticism in New Testament exegesis, highlighting the problem of incorrect copying, whether intentional or not, as well as dealing with theological doubts, especially regarding additional verses in several New Testament manuscripts. Using textual criticism methods, this research analyzed several controversial verses, such as Mark 16:9-20; John 5:3b-4; 7:53-8:11; 1 John 5:7b-8a; Matthew 6:13b; 17:21; 18:11. Research result showed that most of these additional verses are not found in reliable ancient manuscripts, raising doubts about their authenticity. Even though they have historical and traditional value, researchers emphasize that these additional verses are not part of God's true word and should not be considered as a guide to faith and behavior.Abstrak. Penelitian ini membahas urgensi kritik teks dalam eksegesis Perjanjian Baru, menyoroti masalah penyalinan yang salah, baik disengaja maupun tidak, serta menghadapi keraguan teologi terutama terkait ayat-ayat tambahan dalam beberapa naskah Perjanjian Baru. Melalui metode kritik tekstual, penelitian ini menganalisis beberapa ayat kontroversial, di antaranya Markus 16:9-20; Yohanes 5:3b-4; 7:53-8:11; 1 Yohanes 5:7b-8a; Matius 6:13b; 17:21; 18:11. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar ayat-ayat tambahan ini tidak ditemukan dalam naskah-naskah kuno terpercaya, menimbulkan keraguan akan keasliannya. Meskipun memiliki nilai historis dan nilai tradisi, peneliti menegaskan bahwa ayat-ayat tambahan ini bukan bagian dari firman Tuhan yang sejati dan tidak boleh dianggap sebagai pegangan iman dan perilaku
The Theological and Inculturative Values of Lamentation Songs In Good Friday Services
No full textMany Christian communities in Sumba practice a unique tradition of incorporating lamentation songs in regional languages into their Good Friday services. These poignant melodies, born out of the local Christian community, trace their roots to the ngi'o teki tradition—a practice characterized by the expressive mourning of the departed through carefully crafted and emotional words. Despite the fact that such lamentations diverge from the official Good Friday services outlined in the widely accepted Roman Liturgy of the Catholic Church, they play a significant role in the cultural and religious fabric of these communities. This qualitative research aimed to delve into the historical and cultural context of these lament songs, unveil their theological and inculturative values, and discern their specific place within the Good Friday service. The findings of this research underscored the intrinsic theological and inculturative values embedded in lament songs, emphasizing their crucial role in rendering the Good Friday liturgy more resonant and meaningful for the local population
Take My Yoke and Learn of Me: Matthew 11:28-30 and Hospitality in Theological Education in Indonesia
No full textThis research was motivated by the situation of theological education in Indonesia, which still perpetuates traditional models of education, where learning still tends to be one-way, authoritative, and more focused on cognitive-academic development with “a rote learning approach.” This has left learners (a group of learners) alienated, marginalised, and even feeling pressured in the learning process. This condition makes it difficult to provide theological education that is hospitable and transformative in the lives of learners. Meanwhile, the Bible has shown that hospitality is an important theme in both the Old and New Testaments. God is a hospitable God and offers hospitality to his people. According to the author, hospitality also needs to be presented in theological education in Indonesia. From the theoretical framework of hospitality and theological education, the author analyses Matthew 11:28-30 to find the principles of hospitality relevant to theological education in Indonesia. The author examines various thoughts on hospitality through a literature study. The selected text was studied using an exegetical approach and inductive interpretation. Based on the analysis, it was found that Jesus' learning environment differs from that of the Scribes. Jesus' learning environment is inclusive, liberating and collaborative. The implication is that theological education with hospitality provides a learning atmosphere that is liberating, uplifting, takes into account the uniqueness of the students, and provides a comfortable atmosphere
The Eucharistic Sending: Reconstructing The Sending Narratives in Sunday Worship
No full textThis article explores the importance of the Sending in the Sunday Worship, which is crucial to support people's daily lives as it bridges the gap between every Sunday service where people worship. The narrative of the Sending must be appropriately formulated to ensure that people can implement it effectively. Currently, the narrative is often based on weekly changing sermon content, leading to unfinished tasks accumulating without evaluation. To address this issue, this article proposes that the Sending narrative should be based on the remembrance of The Lord's Supper, which is the main element of Sunday worship besides the sermon. By using Jesus' words “do this!” as a potential basis for sending people into everyday life, this article argues that individuals can be encouraged to fulfill their role in showing love to others
Trauma dan Penerimaan Luka: Pendampingan Pastoral atas Realitas Traumatis yang Tidak Dapat Diperdamaikan
No full textAbstract. Can emotional wounds heal? Pastoral theories generally have shown that it is possible to engage the complexity of emotional wounds problem. Some of it can be found in Clebsch and Jaekle’s pastoral functions and in crisis intervention methodology that presents the achievable result of responding to the counselee’s emotional wounds. However, what about the wounds that remain? Drawing from the author's accompanying research on the traumatic reality wounds that remain irreconcilable, the author offers a new way of pastoral care that responds to these wounds that remain. The posture of accepting the wounds that remain as a way of healing, would be central here. By using qualitative research methods, the author presents the ABCA crisis intervention method as a way of pastoral care that includes this posture as a way of healing. This method is relevant in that it answers the problem of the remaining wound through inviting the counselee to remember their past, reaffirming their present, and reauthoring their future as a way of healing.Abstrak. Apakah luka batin bisa sembuh? Teori-teori pastoral secara umum mengatakan bahwa kompleksitas permasalahan terkait luka batin dapat dijawab. Beberapa di antaranya dapat ditemukan dalam fungsi-fungsi pastoral menurut Clebsch dan Jaekle dan metodologi intervensi krisis yang memperlihatkan tercapainya kesembuhan dalam merespons luka batin konseli. Akan tetapi, bagaimana dengan luka yang tidak hilang? Berangkat dari penelitian dampingan penulis atas luka traumatis yang tidak kunjung hilang sekaligus tidak dapat diperdamaikan, penulis menawarkan sebuah cara baru pendampingan pastoral dalam merespons luka batin yang tidak hilang. Sikap penerimaan realitas luka yang masih ada sebagai wujud kesembuhan, menjadi penting dibahas. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, penulis menawarkan metode intervensi krisis ABCA sebagai bentuk pendampingan pastoral yang mengikutsertakan sikap menerima tersebut sebagai bentuk kesembuhan. Metode ini menjadi relevan karena ia menjawab permasalahan realitas luka yang tidak dapat diperdamaikan tersebut dengan mengajak konseli untuk mengingat kembali pada masa lalunya, menegaskan kembali pada masa kininya, dan menarasikannya untuk masa depan sebagai wujud kesembuhannya
