Diversitas Eksistensialisme: Analisis Kritis Perspektif Teologis-Filosofis

2023-05-03T10:31:17+08:00

The purpose of this article is to describe and analyze the notion of diversity in existentialism that appears in existentialist thinkers namely Soren Kierkegaard, Jean Paul Sartre, and Paul Tillich who have their own characteristics in their thinking. The theme of Existentialism has been discussed throughout history because it focuses on human concerns. A qualitative method with a content analysis approach is used to discuss and analyze existentialism philosophically and theologically. Based on the analysis, existentialism refers to humans as conscious subjects but can be viewed differently by thinkers. Kierkegaard’s theistic existensialism with the concept of leap of faith where humans are fully conscious can relate personally with God. Sartre's existentialism is atheistic, rejecting the existence of God and emphasizing human subjects who determine their own lives, taking responsibility for themselves. Tillich who uses the theme of existentialism in his method of correlation to connect God's Word to modern people with their existential awareness. Existentialism is very anthropocentric and does not emphasize Theocentric in human live.

The Bible gives the reader a narrative in John 21:15-19 about the Lord Jesus having a pastoral conversation with Simon Peter who was about to resign and return to his old profession. Through this text, the author wants to raise and explore it using qualitative methods with a narrative approach from Mark Allan Powell. Through narrative criticism, the author sees events in three important elements where there are events, characters, and places that are in the narrative and draws them out by placing themselves as writers and shadow readers. This study seeks to answer the question of what Jesus, the Master, through the pastoral conversation, was in the view of the narrator so that Simon Peter gave up his intention to resign from the ministry and what are the implications for the minister of the church who wanted to resign because the leader left ? . The results of the study found that the Pastoral conversation of the Lord Jesus to Simon Peter evoked cognitive aspects, affection aspects, and psychomotor aspects. The opposition to these aspects can be used by the leader who is about to leave the place of service where there is his servant who intends to resign and follow him.

Studi Eksegesis Amsal 1-9: Suatu Antitesis Antara Orang Bebal dan Orang Bijak

2023-05-15T09:36:27+08:00

The purpose of this research is to understand the meaning of fear of God in the text of Proverbs 1-9. Because the phrase "fear of God" often shows a gap in interpretation as an action-consequence relationship and re-interpretation in the orientation of obedience to wise qualities. This study uses a qualitative approach using the hermeneutic method of the wisdom genre, in particular paying attention coherently to the thematic phrase "fear of the Lord" in Proverbs 1-9. Thematic analysis of the relation of wisdom literature pays attention to translational or literal analysis, context, theological and especially the structure of antithetical parallelism, as well as the character-consequence pattern of the fool and the wise man. The result of this study is that the phrase "fear of God" describes a rebuke and rejection of wisdom which has bad consequences for a person. However, the peculiarity of wisdom in the phrase "fear of the Lord" provides a coherent orientation between knowledge and knowledge of God. It can be concluded that the basis of wisdom, namely "fearing the Lord" provides an understanding for wise and stupid people. The uniqueness of this interpretation is caused by the peculiarity of the pattern of words that are retribution (cause and effect) in the book of Proverbs 1-9. Not surprisingly, the meaning of the phrase "fear of God" emphasizes character/habits and the impact of true wisdom.

Suara Kenabian Amos: Teladan Bagi Pengkhotbah di Era Industri 5.0

2023-05-03T10:02:11+08:00

This research is motivated by the occurrence of violations and deviations from the prophetic voice of Amos, which have massively occurred in the fields of law, society, and spirituality. The law is twisted, blunt on top, and sharp on the bottom because the judicial system, as a place to seek justice, is not functioning properly and corruption is rampant, disregarding the poor and treating humans as worthless shoes. The priests choose wealth, positions, and compromise with sin. This happens due to an unclear calling that the LORD is summoning, where the Bible no longer serves as a benchmark for sermons, replaced by pleasing speeches for the listeners and compromising with sin. Through qualitative research methods and literature review in the book of Amos, as well as interviews, the results of the analysis indicate that the prophetic voice in the book of Amos produces a firm, uncompromising attitude, and courageously confronts challenges in proclaiming the prophetic voice, all of which serve as guidance for preachers in the era of Industry 5.0.

The purpose of this journal is to apply the principles of fostering church members through the teaching model of partners in learning where coaches and congregations emphasize the importance of relationships to build trust between the two parties. As was done by the Lord Jesus Himself in His ministry, namely building relationships with the people He served, this partner in learning model also applies the importance of acceptance and appreciation between personal mentors and the congregation. Some of the impacts of the partners in Learning model: (1) Involvement means increasing the partnership between tutors and students, (2) Awareness. This model helps mentors and students to develop metacognitive awareness and a growing identity, (3) Improvement. Learners are more active and responsible for the learning program that is being carried out.

Partners in learning will produce students like Paul taught in Col. 1:28 namely growing towards maturity towards Christ.
