{"title":"Contribution of God’s Servants In Upholding Sound Doctrine in The Church Community Based on Titus 1:5 - 2:10","authors":"Robi Panggarra, Yosua Feliciano Camerling","doi":"10.25278/jj.v21i2.885","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25278/jj.v21i2.885","url":null,"abstract":"In the current reality of the development of faith and the church, there are challenges in the form of unhealthy teachings that can hinder the growth of true religion. That is why this research aims to analyze and reveal the concept of God’s servants based on Titus 1:5-2:10. Then, show and describe the steps to become a servant of God who contributes to the development of the church and society through sound teachings based on Titus 1:5-2:10. The results of this research are that four factors challenge the church in dealing with heresy. However, this challenge is paradoxical because, on the other hand, within this challenge, there are opportunities for the church, especially for community development. The four factors include, First, Religious Pluralism and Moral Relativism. It is essential to properly understand the moral values taught by the religious scriptures so that they can be the primary key to opening the way for evangelization missions. Second, the influence of media and technology. The presence of social media will become an increasingly important service object for maintaining connections among its people—third, heretical teachings. The church needs to act firmly to fight the practices of heretics who try to distort the truth to suit their wishes. Fourth, Materialism and Worldly Pleasures. No human wealth can buy life or health. Therefore, this “empty space” can provide an opportunity for God's servants, equipped with sound doctrine, to bring people to the needs of eternity rather than mortal.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"100 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135976724","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}

Of course, the metaphors that Paul put forward are full of meaning based on the context of life at that time in which the life of the people in Ephesus and Asia Minor, in general, had a relationship with the worship of the gods. Using the grammatical-historical method, the writer found that the metaphor of the armour of God that Paul put forward in Ephesians 6:10-20 also has coherence (connectedness, unity) of meanings, ideas, and ideas between these metaphors. This coherence will contribute to efforts to build the theological construction of spiritual warfare and the life practices of believers to face spiritual warfare.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"87 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067674","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}

Using a qualitative method, this research was conducted at the Samironobaru Javanese Christian Church and found that in an effort to contextualize the church's mission, the church in the context of Javanese society needs to actualize the ethical values of the Javanese community in a contextual church mission approach.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135942842","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}

The goal is to understand its doctrine and relevance in the church's life, especially the C&MA churches worldwide. Divine healing is a characteristic of Simpson’s teaching that should still be lived out in church life today. The Bible’s teaching about divine healing is not aimed at healing from suffering solely but is aimed at glorifying God and preaching the gospel of salvation. A church that is faithful in preaching the gospel will not stop practising healing prayers for those who ask to be prayed for their healing. Likewise, the church must be an agent of healing both physically and emotionally for communities that are facing various diseases.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136078329","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}

The method employed in this study is a literature review of Bible verses, theological texts, and scholarly articles on the topic of work ethics in Christianity. The findings of this research indicate that work is not only a blessing and a privilege for humans as God's stewards on Earth but also a part of God's plan for salvation and forgiveness. The Holy Spirit utilizes human work in accordance with the purpose of salvation, thereby making work an essential ritual in life. All humans are created by God and adopted as children in Jesus Christ, and God works for the good of those who love Him. This research contributes to the understanding of the theological significance of work in the lives of Christians and its role in the existential faith as the people of God.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761477","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}

A Survey of Contemporary Applications of the Biblical Jubilee","authors":"Christopher James Luthy","doi":"10.25278/jj.v21i2.858","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25278/jj.v21i2.858","url":null,"abstract":"Since the middle of the twentieth century, the biblical Jubilee has enjoyed an increasing level of prominence in the public sphere. It has been cited as the basis for a number of different movements, traditions and practices, many of which vary greatly in their emphases. This qualitative study surveys and critically analyses each of the major contemporary applications of the biblical jubilee, as represented in the current corpus of academic literature. It is concluded that these applications can be categorised under eight headings. It is also concluded that the significant variation in many of these applications is the product of a variety of hermeneutical approaches. The validity of these approaches and an assessment of the varying applications is to be the subject of future study.","PeriodicalId":485075,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Jaffray","volume":"264 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360494","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}
