Doktrin Tritunggal Jürgen Moltmann Sebagai Model Berpolitik Orang Kristen di Indonesia

Febri Ando Pratama Saragih — 2024-12-03

This paper aims to analyse the doctrine of the Trinity developed by Jürgen Moltmann, one of the theologians who presented his theory of the Trinity and then linked it to human socio-political activities. Christians in Indonesia exist in the midst of a pluralistic world. So the task of bringing God's light and love in all aspects of life, including politics, in the midst of a plural world is very important to do. The writing of this article departs from the phenomenon of apathy shown by Christians in Indonesia towards politics, so that Christians are reluctant to focus their attention on political activities in Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with a literature study method, which examines and reviews the socio-political analogy of Jürgen Moltmann's Trinity doctrine as he explains in his book The Trinity and The Kingdom. The research found that the doctrine of the Trinity, which is considered difficult and complicated at the level of systematic theological discourse, has made a great contribution to the lives of believers, including politics. The doctrine of the Trinity developed by Jürgen Moltmann invites all believers to take part in an ideal socio-political life, thus producing a concrete model for the socio-political life of Christians in Indonesia.

Kemesiasan Yesus dan Kemesiasan Masa Intertestamentum: Sebuah Studi Analisis Komparatif

Daniel Pesah Purwonugroho — 2024-12-03

This paper is designed to provide a comparative analytical study of the messiahship of Jesus and the intertestamental messiahship. The messiahship of Jesus and the intertestament messiahship have intersections of similarities and differences that cannot be avoided. The concept of messiahship originates from the Hebrew Bible which has its roots in God's covenant with David. In the intertestament period, the concept of messiahship was characterized by the expectation of a leader who would bring political liberation to the Jewish nation. The intertestament messiahship appears in various texts such as 1 Enoch and the book of Jubilees. On the one hand, Jesus' messiahship emphasizes his function as the savior of mankind. Jesus' messiahship can be traced through the four gospels, the testimonies of the disciples and Paul's theological constructs. The messiahship of Jesus and the intertestamentary messiahship have in common the aspect of hope for a deliverer. However, the obvious difference is that the intertestamental messiahship focuses on the political aspect while Jesus' messiahship focuses on the theological aspect. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, the author will comparatively analyze the messiahship of Jesus and the intertestamental messiahship. The comparative analysis brings strengthening to the Christological aspects of the contemporary church today.

Analisis Teologis Relasi Logika dan Iman Kristen

Sutarman Laia — 2024-12-03

This research aims to explore the relationship between logic and Christian faith through a philosophical and theological approach. The research methods used include text and literature analysis, such as the Bible, articles and books. This research is motivated by the existence of a paradigm between logic and Christian faith which has been misunderstood so far. Starting from this problem, this research offers ideas that include an understanding of the significant relationship between logic and Christian faith. Although to certain limits there are dimensions of the divinity of the Christian faith that cannot be touched by logical thinking, such as the concept of the triune God, the end of time, and the divinity of God and His eternity. In principle, the only logic that can be compatible with the Christian faith is logic that has been born again. Therefore, it is important to recognize that the relationship between logic and Christian faith is not always contradictory, but can complement each other in strengthening human understanding of complex spiritual and intellectual principles. The relationship between logic and Christian faith is an interesting subject to study because it involves complex and profound aspects of human thought.

Eksistensi Allah Dalam Kisah Pembangunan Menara Babel Berdasarkan Kejadian 11:1-9

Binsar Pandapotan Silalahi — 2024-12-03

Kisah pembangunan menara Babel diawali dengan bahasa dan logat yang sama. Namun, motif yang salah terhadap pembangunan itu membuat Allah harus turun, mengacaubalaukan bahasa dan menyerakkan mereka ke seluruh bumi. Akan tetapi, turunnya Allah menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai keberadaan Allah selama proses pembangunan menara tersebut. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu keberadaan Allah pada saat pembangunan menara tersebut, dan apa tujuan Allah harus menunjukkan eksistensiNya secara langsung. Metode yang dipilih adalah melakukan kajian eksposisi terhadap Kejadian 11:1-9 melalui pendekatan analisis genre narasi. Maka ditemukan bahwa sejak awal Allah telah mengamati pekerjaan sekumpulan orang tersebut. Turunnya Allah untuk melihat pekerjaan dari kumpulan orang-orang tersebut menunjukkan dua aspek eksistensi dan keilahian Allah di tengah-tengah ciptaanNya. Pertama, Allah dengan kedaulatan-Nya menunjukkan kedudukan Allah sebagai pemegang otoritas di atas segala ciptaan-Nya di muka bumi ini yang dibuktikan dengan peran Allah dalam mengacaubalaukan segala pekerjaan pembangunan menara tersebut. Kedua, Allah dengan anugerah-Nya menunjukkan sifat Allah yang memiliki kemurahan, kasih karunia, anugerah yang selalu diberikan kepada umat ciptaanNya dengan dibuktikan melalui penyerakan orang-orang tersebut ke segala penjuru bumi tanpa memusnahkan populasi manusia seperti pada peristiwa air bah, supaya perintah Allah untuk memenuhi bumi dapat dilakukan oleh umat ciptaan-Nya.
