Togatorop, Andri Vincent Sinaga, Juan Ananta Tan","doi":"10.46362/jrsc.v4i2.201","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46362/jrsc.v4i2.201","url":null,"abstract":"Mysticism and traditional medicine are two things that are intertwined in terms of healing from illness. Diseases that are often treated through traditional medicine include diseases originating from evil spirits, as well as diseases involving witchcraft, black magic, and even diseases from which it is not known where they originate. In this culture of belief in mysticism and traditional medicine, among Christians there is a dualism of belief, namely one side believes in God, but also believes in evil spirits/dark powers. Of course this is contrary to the Christian faith. The aim of this research is to prove that mystical and traditional medicine is still developing among Christians, as well as the connection between mysticism (occultism) and traditional medicine and to examine it based on Christian theology. The results of the research show that mysticism, as well as traditional medicine, is now increasingly widespread among Christians. Mysticism and traditional medicine are inseparable. This practice of mysticism and traditional medicine is a socio-cultural phenomenon among certain tribes and is very difficult to abandon. \u0000  \u0000Mistis-isme dan pengobatan tradisional adalah dua hal yang saling berkelindan dalam hal penyembuhan dari sakit penyakit. Penyakit yang sering dilayani melalui pengobatan tradisional ini adalah seperti penyakit yang berasal dari roh jahat, juga penyakit guna-guna, santet, bahkan penyakit yang tidak diketahui dari mana berasal. Di dalam budaya kepercayaan kepada mistis-isme dan pengobatan tradisional ini, di kalangan orang Kristen terdapat dualisme kepercayaan yaitu satu sisi percaya kepada Tuhan, namun percaya juga kepada roh jahat/kuasa gelap. Tentu hal ini bertentangan dengan iman Kristen. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuktikan bahwa mistis dan pengobatan tradisional masih berkembang di kalangan orang Kristen, pun kaitan antara mistis-isme (okultisme) dan pengobatan tradisional serta mengkajinya berdasarkan teologi Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mistis-isme pun pengobatan tradisional, kini kian merebak di kalangan orang Kristen. Mistis-isme dan pengobatan tradisional saling tidak dapat dipisahkan. Praktik mistis-isme dan pengobatan tradisional ini adalah fenomena sosial-budaya di kalangan suku tertentu dan sangat sukar untuk ditinggalkan.","PeriodicalId":194583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Socio-Cultural","volume":"31 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140371770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leadership based on ethical and moral values is the key to guiding organizations and societies towards sustainable development. In this context, the exemplary leadership of Jesus Christ in His teachings and actions becomes relevant and can be implemented effectively in the era of globalization. This study discusses the implementation of true leaders with integrity through the leadership example of Jesus. First, it explores the teachings of Jesus that are relevant for today's leadership, such as love, justice, humility, and wisdom. Secondly, it highlights Jesus' actions in serving and leading by example that inspire others to follow in His footsteps. By analyzing Jesus' teachings and actions, today's leaders can take inspiration in building leadership with integrity. They can develop qualities such as honesty, fairness, empathy, and the ability to serve sincerely. In addition, leaders can also understand the importance of prioritizing common interests over personal interests. The implementation of Jesus' exemplary leadership can have a positive impact on organizations and society in the era of globalization. Leadership based on moral values will increase trust, collaboration, and sustainability. Therefore, this study illustrates how leaders who follow the footsteps of Jesus can be agents of positive change in the face of complex challenges and the dynamics of globalization.   Era globalisasi menuntut pemimpin yang tidak hanya memiliki keterampilan manajerial yang kuat, tetapi juga integritas moral yang tinggi. Kepemimpinan yang berdasarkan nilai-nilai etis dan moral adalah kunci untuk memandu organisasi dan masyarakat menuju perkembangan berkelanjutan. Dalam konteks ini, keteladanan kepemimpinan Yesus Kristus dalam ajaran dan tindakan-Nya menjadi relevan dan dapat diimplementasikan secara efektif di era globalisasi. Studi ini membahas implementasi pemimpin sejati yang berintegritas melalui keteladanan kepemimpinan Yesus. Pertama, studi ini menggali ajaran-ajaran Yesus yang relevan untuk kepemimpinan masa kini, seperti kasih, keadilan, kerendahan hati, dan kebijaksanaan. Kedua, studi ini menyoroti tindakan Yesus dalam melayani dan memimpin dengan teladan yang menginspirasi orang lain untuk mengikuti jejak-Nya. Dengan menganalisis ajaran dan tindakan Yesus, pemimpin masa kini dapat mengambil inspirasi dalam membangun kepemimpinan yang berintegritas. Mereka dapat mengembangkan kualitas seperti kejujuran, keadilan, empati, dan kemampuan untuk melayani dengan tulus. Selain itu, pemimpin juga dapat memahami pentingnya memprioritaskan kepentingan bersama di atas kepentingan pribadi. Implementasi keteladanan kepemimpinan Yesus dapat membawa dampak positif pada organisasi dan masyarakat dalam era globalisasi.

The coming of the kingdom of God is to defeat the kingdom and dominion of Satan, which the Bible also describes as the ruler of this world (Jn 12:31, 14:30, 16:11; Eph 6:12). Thus, there is a confrontation called warfare because the two parties are essentially different and cannot negotiate a middle ground: peace. This article aims to find the meaning of the confrontation of the kingdom of God against the power and kingdom of Satan in the Synoptic Gospels. In this article, the authors will specifically bring up fragments of confrontation or resistance carried out by the Kingdom of God in fighting the kingdom of Satan based on the Synoptic Gospels. The result of this study is that the Synoptic Gospels describing the story of Jesus’ death provide evidence that indicates the victory of the Kingdom of God against Satan’s power.   Injil Sinoptik menyatakan bahwa kehadiran Kristus menandai datangnya kerajaan Allah di dalam dunia (Mat. 4:17, Mrk. 1:15, Luk. 11:20). Kedatangan Kerajaan Allah tersebut adalah untuk mengalahkan kerajaan dan kekuasaan Iblis yang Alkitab juga deskripsikan sebagai penguasa dunia ini (Yoh. 12:31, 14:30, 16:11; Ef. 6:12). Dengan demikian, terjadilah konfrontasi yang disebut peperangan, karena kedua pihak secara esensi memang berbeda dan tidak dapat berunding untuk memperoleh jalan tengah: perdamaian. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan makna konfrontasi kerajaan Allah terhadap kuasa dan kerajaan Iblis dalam Injil Sinoptik. Dalam artikel ini, para penulis secara khusus akan memunculkan fragmen-fragmen konfrontasi atau perlawanan yang dilakukan oleh Kerajaan Allah dalam memerangi kerajaan Iblis berdasarkan Injil Sinoptik. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Injil Sinoptik menggambarkan kisah kematian Yesus memberikan keterangan-keterangan yang mengindikasikan kemenangan konfrontasi Kerajaan Allah terhadap kuasa (kerajaan) Iblis.","PeriodicalId":194583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Socio-Cultural","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
