The issue that is often disputed is the distinction between blessing and confirmation of marriage. In fact, certain churches have the opinion that the marriage blessing intended for them is considered sacred, in the sense that the bride and groom in the observation of the pastor and the congregation have not had sexual intercourse. While the term confirmation of marriage is intended for those whose two brides have had sex outside of marriage so that they become pregnant. For the church/person who distinguishes between the blessing and confirmation of marriage, the place is also different. If the blessing is done in the church, while the confirmation is done outside the church building, for example houses, public buildings and so on. The purpose of the research in this scientific work is to explain the ethical review of the Church under the auspices of the Evangelical Spreading Church on the blessing of pregnant couples out of wedlock. The research method is through library research, interviews, and several people who are participants in this research. The results of this study are the church is God's partner to bless not to impose sanctions, GPI needs to reformulate the concept of marriage blessing by considering ethical theological decisions in pastoral care for pregnant couples out of wedlock.\u0000 \u0000Penelitian ini didasari oleh perbedaan pemahaman pelayanan pastoral dalam konteks Gereja Penyebaran Injil (GPI). Isu yang sering dipermasalahkan adalah pembedaan pemberkatan dan peneguhan nikah. Faktanya, beberapa gereja tertentu mempunyai pendapat bahwa pemberkatan nikah diperuntukan bagi mereka dianggap suci, dalam pengertian kedua pengantin dalam pengamatan pendeta dan jemaat belum melakukan hubungan seksual. Sementara istilah peneguhan nikah diperuntukan bagi mereka yang kedua pengantin telah berhubungan seks di luar nikah sehingga hamil. Bagi gereja/orang yang membedakan antara pemberkatan dan peneguhan nikah, tempat pun juga dibedakan. Jika pemberkatan dilakukan di gereja, sedangkan peneguhan dilakukan di luar gedung gereja, misalnya rumah, gedung umum dan lain sebagainya. Tujuan penelitian dalam karya ilmiah ini ialah Menjelaskan tinjauan etis Gereja di Bawah naungan Gereja Penyebaran Injil terhadap pemberkatan pasangan hamil di luar nikah. Metode penelitian melalui studi kepustakaan, wawancara, dan beberapa orang yang menjadi partisipan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini adalah gereja merupakan mitra Allah untuk memberkati bukan untuk menjatuhkan sanksi, GPI perlu menformulasikan kembali konsep pemberkatan nikah dengan mempertimbangkan keputusan yang etis teologis dalam pelayanan pastoral pasangan hamil di luar nikah.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127259656","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}

There are three imperatives or orders: the cultural imperative, the missionary imperative, and the social imperative. Every believer has a duty to fulfill this commission, a responsibility that must be fulfilled. Nevertheless, some believers do not feel responsible for fulfilling their social and divine mission. A social commission is a divine command given to believers to pay attention and care for social problems as they arise. However, some believers still ignore social imperatives on the grounds that human social conditions will surely be destroyed and destroyed, so there is no point in influencing the structure of society. A Christian's only duty is to perform only spiritual acts of salvation. Indeed, when this social task is carried out by believers, there is a great opportunity if this task is carried out correctly and properly. However, if we consider social missions further, we find that social entrepreneurship is a social mission. Social entrepreneurship can also be a vehicle for gospel preaching today. The method of answering this research question is presented in a narrative format using a qualitative writing method and then a literature review approach. Using this method, we can understand that even though social entrepreneurship is a form of social mission, it can be realized through social entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship can not only help people with social problems, but it can bring God's universal love to those who do not know God. Also, Allah's Shalom is readily available to all mankind from all aspects of life.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121929472","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}

Poverty is still the biggest problem in the world today because this problem involves life and death. Poor people cannot get out of their problems without the help of others. The problem is that the poor don't know who to turn to to help them. If God's people were faithful in doing good to the poor and needy people, then their lives would be the same as what Jesus exemplified in His life while living on earth, and people like that would receive salvation. The act of helping those in need, especially the poor, on the other hand, is a natural fruit of salvation and is based on what Christ did for His people at Calvary. This article qualitatively uses analytical, comparative, and argumentative methods. Comparatively, the ladder model which is too rigid and normative while taking into account other examples will be compared with the garden model, which assumes a plurality of types of spirituality. The result of this research is for everyone to understand the meaning of why it is so important to serve the poor. So that a Christian does not neglect his obligation to help people in need, because serving the poor is the same as doing it to Jesus.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120844328","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}

Reception theory stresses the social context and function of the act of reading which is also present in inner-biblical exegesis and must be analyzed. Hence, a proper methodology is needed to study inner-biblical exegesis. Through comparative analysis between reception theory and inner-biblical exegesis, in this article, I argue that inner-biblical exegesis can be seen as a form of reception. Two distinctive features of inner-biblical exegesis—directionality and intentionality—fit nicely with the concept in reception theory—the first- and second-degree texts. Furthermore, seeing inner-biblical exegesis as a form of reception necessitates an understanding of its social function as it is influenced by and seeks to influence its social-historical context. Therefore, studying inner-biblical exegesis is not only limited to identifying strategies of interpretation but also its social-historical context and, hence, its social function.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121134058","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}

Due to the influence of the Methodist movement that he initiated, Europe, especially in England, for some time experienced a revival. An event that cannot be ignored because it had the effect that kept Britain from collapsing morally. The movement's greatest influence was to push for the policy of abolishing slavery. One of the most important teachings of the Wesleyans is about Christian perfections (Christian Perfections). A centuries-old teaching that John Wesley interpreted differently. The idea of Christian perfection itself did not originate with Wesley. Hence Christian perfection is directed to the will not the perfect status of man. Christian perfection is an attitude of the heart that is reflected in life regarding the pursuit of holiness, namely a life that is consistently in opposition to sin. Wesley doesn't see himself as capable of doing it but he tries to keep doing it.\u0000 \u0000Salah seorang tokoh dalam sejarah gereja dunia, adalah seorang bernama John Wesley.

Pengaruh terbesar gerakan ini adalah mendorong kebijakan penghapusan perbudakan. Salah satu pengajaran terpenting dari kaum Wesleyan adalah mengenai kesempurnaan Kristen (Christian Perfections). Sebuah ajaran berumur ratusan tahun yang oleh John Wesley dimaknai secara berbeda. Gagasan mengenai kesempurnaan Kristen sendiri bukan berasal dari Wesley. Olehnya kesempurnaan Kristen diarahkan kepada kehendak bukan status sempurna manusia.
