Abstract:

Jesus founded His Church as the new family of God by instituting the Twelve. The new family is a real space which fulfils the Kingdom of God. It is a community of Jesus’ disciples which fosters the rule of God in the world and has an explicitly institutional dimension. The founding of the new family fulfils the promise to create the new Israel made in the Old Testament. The ethos of the new family of God is aimed at proclaiming the universal reign of God, as it is the mission bestowed on the family by Jesus. Its moral principles were laid out in the Sermon on the Mount. The new family of God i

Abstract:

Etymologically, the Greek Church “Ekklesia” means “ called out”. The Churh is often also defined as “a community of believers” (Andreas, 2010, p. 21). The Church is living community of everyone. The Church is a community formed by Christ, intended to illuminate the word to become His salt. The Church is also a collection of believers who believe in Christ as the head of the Church. The pastor in a Church is the hope or foundation for all members of the congregation, with a great influence on the dynamics and success of the congregation.

Abstract:

AbstractThe church is a chosen group or congregation, namely those who are called by God to come out of the world, go away from sin and enter into the realm of grace. The church has a relationship with God's people in the Old Testament, where in the Old Testament God chose Abraham as the embryo of the birth of the nation of Israel, which was God's chosen nation. Theologically, the idea of God's people being called out clearly existed in Old Testament times, as well as in New Testament times.

The Sinai Covenant was very important in the life of the Israelites. Through this covenant, God gave His statutes as the creator God, also the Israelites had the privilege of being the chosen people. This blessing that was given to the nation of Israel was also given to the church. Realizing this, the church must prepare the congregation to accept it. The inability of the church to understand the promise will fail the church in carrying out its duties properly.

Abstract:

The Church in the New Testament is described with various images, and this article argues that one image that is implicitly present in the New Testament is the Church as a “court” or a “community of trial.” First, this can be argued because the God of the Bible – YHWH - is Creator, King, and Judge. That means that YHWH’s community is responsible, per YHWH’s revelation, to maintain the purity of its members in all aspects of life. Second, in the New Testament, we find examples where the Church functions as a court. However, the question is, does the biblical requirement for “two or three witnes

Abstract:

Consideration of the nature of New Testament Theology (NTT) necessitates an account of theology or “God-talk”. Karl Barth grasped that all valid God-talk begins with God’s self-disclosure through Jesus and the Spirit, which people acknowledge and reflect on. Abandoning this starting point by way of “Foundationalism”—that is, resorting to any alternative basis for God-talk—leads to multiple destructive epistemological and cultural consequences. The self-disclosure of the triune God informs the use of the Bible by the church. The Bible then functions in terms of ethics and witness. It grounds th

What is the Synodalitas Church that the 16th Synod of World Bishops aims for? In order to understand the Synodalitas Church from a biblical point of view, we must first start with the Messianism of Jesus. Although Jesus distanced himself from the title of Messiah, he practiced the so-called decen-tralized messianism where he shared his identity, mission, and authority with his disciples. Jesus invited his disciples to call God Abba and gave them the authority to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God through miracles (Lk 10,9). From a historical point of view, Jesus' decentralized messia

His exegesis mines theological insights from the church fathers to the great Reformers, Luther and Calvin. An unfortunate weakness in the book is its copy editing and proofreading.

This article looks at the biblical foundation that supports the idea that God is still speaking to human beings today through visions and dreams. God has not left communication of his will for humans today totally in the hands of Scripture since he continues to communicate with religious leaders, pastors, the church, unbelievers, and those who hate him through visions and dreams. This article illustrates that God continued to communicate his will through vision and dream experiences from the time of creation until today. Despite widespread skepticism among many toward visions and dreams, God c

Abstract:

Missiological texts typically focus on the church or individuals as the agents of mission (within the missio Dei) and it is rare to find any reference to families or the home. Such an omission, however, overlooks the extent to which families can witness to the transforming grace of God in the midst of the world. In this article, I explore the importance of families for mission, and argue that the New Testament shows that the family is subordinated to the church but also transformed by the kingdom. In the light of the New Testament witness, I explore three scriptural themes of a family spiritua

Abstract This article investigates the presumed identity of the present-day Church while seeking parity in terms and meaning with the identity of the early church. The phrase, ‘The church is not a building; the people are the church’, displays the existence of multiple perceived identities of what/who is known as the church within Western culture. New Testament Scripture best defines the church of Jesus Christ as a gathering of believers, not an inert structure. English-speaking contexts utilize church to describe both a community in relationship to God and owned real estate. Identity confusio

Abstract. The issues of Christian ethics and eschatology are two important parts that being discussed in this paper regarding the ecological crisis that is happening recently. These two issues invite the the church to rethink the missiological and soteriogical concept so that it can influence the activity of the church in carrying out the mission of God. The church become the agen of God in voicing out the renewal of the broken relationship become harmony. Therefore, the mission mandate that carried out by the church should be understood as participation of the church in the dynamic fellowship

Abstract:

In a number of ways, the epistle to the Hebrews is a unique letter among the New Testament epistles because of its Jewish nuance and emphasis on the Mosaic Covenant. The author quotes and alludes to Old Testament texts in a variety of ways, which has aroused great interest for many theologians. The theological themes of the letter have also resulted in much study, particularly when one attempts to apply these unique themes to the present-day church. This study focuses on six of these themes (God, Christ, Priest, Covenant, Endurance, and Faith) and their significance for the current church cont

AbstractHow are we to understand Christian mission in our time? Is it the obedient response to the commission of his disciples by Jesus after his resurrection (Mt 28:18–20)? What should be the motivating power behind the mission of the church? Is it patterned on the conquest expeditions of the people of Israel narrated in the Old Testament? The long history of the mission of the church, especially as organized by the West, would give us such an impression. This approach has more the nature of exercising power over the other, the power of knowledge and the power of self to win over the other. F

Everyone who studies the New Testament Bible must take into account its Aramaic backgro- und that results from several factors:– the Aramaic language was very popular in Roman Palestine during the rst century A.D.; – the Aramaic was Jesus’ mother tongue;– Jesus’ teaching was being recorded in Aramaic and then it circulated among the people; – the oldest Church consisted of Aramaic speaking communities. It is worth remembering that the New Testament authors, when working on the Greek Gospels, they were following their Aramaic language habits. The e ects of them were aramaisms in the Greek texts

Abstract:

This paper argues that a theology of accommodation can provide help to those wishing to integrate youth and children into an intergenerational local church. It will be demonstrated that God's accommodation to humanity is not only communicative, but behavioral, and that in the New Testament we see that this behavioral accommodation principle is normative for relationships within the church. Through an examination of 1 Corinthians 8–11:1, this paper demonstrates that those with authority and knowledge in the church are to accommodate those without, which almost invariably implies youth and child

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The concept of the church that we know in the New Testament has its roots in the Old Testament. This concept is closely related to God's work in freeing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This act of liberation became the basis for the formation of God's people (qahal Yahweh), namely the Israelites to become God's people. Based on the understanding above, we can conclude that the Church in the New Testament is the New Israel. If the Church is the new Israel then the church can also be described as the Family of God (Familia Dei), then as the Family of God, the church is a fraternal

Abstract:

A variety of Hebrew and Greek words are used in the Bible to convey the concept of ‛conversion’. The New Testament recognises both ‛insider conversion’ and ‛outsider conversion’—the former being a call to return to their God and the latter demanding both a new experience of God and a change of religious affiliation. The distinction rests on where a person comes from and the degree of dislocation involved in joining the community of faith. Nevertheless, within the new community the distinction is theologically unimportant. As the church became increasingly separate from Judaism, the conversion

Abstract This article explores to what extent God and his works can be understood in terms of entrepreneurship. We give several theological reasons for using this lens, and we survey briefly the use of the word ‘oikonomia’ in the New Testament, the early church, and Reformed theology. Thereafter, we investigate how the entrepreneurship metaphor fits the narrative of the Bible. We argue that by looking at how features of entrepreneurship can be found in the way in which the triune God acts, we obtain a more comprehensive view on our history as a risky drama between God and humanity.

Abstract:

The relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity can be described in terms of “eternal subordination,” but it is unhelpful to do so. The New Testament uses the language of subordination with respect to this relationship only in 1 Corinthians 15:28, and then with a very specific act in mind. The word also has Arian connotations that are best avoided. The submission of the Son to the Father is a voluntary act of mutual love, not something imposed or made inevitable by their personal identities. The divine analogy for the marital bond is that of Christ and the church, not of the Fat
