Marmidi marmidi@ust.ac.id <p>This study aims to examine whether the Gospel of John 20:19-31 contains a theology of mercy. This theology is actualized in the Catholic Church’s tradition, especially in the liturgical celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday, where it uses John 20:19-31 as the third reading in the Eucharist. The passage of John 20:19-31, in fact, does not employ the word “mercy” or “love.” It narrates the appearance of the risen Jesus to the frightened disciples. Applying synchronic and diachronic approaches to the text, this article will show that John 20:19-31 contains theologically “mercy” described in the acts of Jesus Christ: His appearance, his presence, and his forgiveness. Mercy belongs to God; it depicts the character of Jesus Christ, and it was taught by Jesus for His disciples to practice. Even though in the Church Fathers’ writings and the Ecclesiastical Documents, John 20:19-31 has been related to the theme of mercy, in this article it will be observed textually to find that it richly reflects the theology of mercy.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/2668 Baptism According to Matthew 3:13-17 and the Martutuaek’s Rite 2023-05-24T02:04:45+02:00 Febri Novel Sinaga febrinovelsinaga@ust.ac.id F.X. Marmidi marmidi@ust.ac.id <p>This study examines if the story of Jesus’ baptism according to the Gospel of Matthew 3:13-17 is read and interpreted by someone who knows the rite of <em>martutuaek </em>in the tradition of Batak Toba’s community. Baptism is one of the special ceremonies used to accept and enter outsiders into a particular community or group as full members with all their obligations and rights. This ceremony is called "initiation". The word "initiation" comes from the Latin terms "<em>inire</em>" or "initiare," which mean: to enter or join into a group; or also accept someone into a group. <em>Martutuaek</em> is an initiation rite in the Batak Toba community, while Matthew 3:13-17 narrates Jesus’ baptism. The dialog between Jesus’ baptism and <em>martutuaek</em> would be fruitful in interpreting the Scriptures hermeneutically. Culture can pave the way for contextually sharpening Scripture, and Scripture provides illumination and fulfillment for culture. The <em>martutuaek’s</em> rite can be seen in the light of Jesus’ baptism according to Matthew 3:13-17. However, for Christians, as the Scripture’s text, Matthew 3:13-17 has a higher position than <em>martutuaek</em> since it is about God’s revelations.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/4161 Fellow Human Beings in Luke 10:25-37 and Humana Communitas: A Picture of True Brotherhood in the Time of Pandemic 2024-10-06T17:13:19+02:00 Lukman Pandiangan lukman.pandiangan@ust.ac.id Boni Pandapotan Purba boni.pandapotan@ust.ac.id Fransiskus Xaverius Marmidi fransiskus.xaverius@ust.ac.id <p>This article shows that if the ecclesial document <em>Humana Communitas</em> is read as an interpretation of the Gospel according to Luke (10:25-37), it contributes to understanding the particular meaning of a question in the Gospel, “Who is my neighbour” (Luke 10:29), and its actualization. All human beings are brothers and sisters because they were created in the image of God. Human beings are called to live in brotherhood and serve one another. Today, there are many questions about the meaning of the human neighbour. They would be because there are mentalities that undermine and disrespect human dignity. Moreover, the world has been suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. In these situations, the scribe’s question to Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, “Who is my neighbour” is an important point that can be ‘an ethical warning’ for Christians in trying to express his love for God in his fellow human beings. According to Jesus, a fellow human being is one who has shown compassion for all people.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/4162 Reinterpreting Classical Theological Concepts Through Modern Philosophical Lenses 2024-10-07T00:14:06+02:00 Benediktus Bagus Hanggoro benediktusust@gmail.com Febri Novel Sinaga febrisinaga@gmail.com <p>The paper is devoted to the reeval_uation of crucial classical theological concepts-through modern philosophical structures-on the nature of God, free will, and divine foreknowledge. The paper introduces some modern concepts-developed by existentialism, phenomenology, and analytic philosophy-showing new lights on these long-standing theological debates. The placing together of the above fields vividly reflects the possibility for modern philosophy to bring new lights to traditional religious doctrines, making them relevant to the modern philosophical debate.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/4163 Theology and Data: Ethical Implications of Big Data from a Theological Philosophy Perspective 2024-10-07T01:08:23+02:00 Angelo Bonardo Purba angelobonardo@ust.ac.id Junius Setiawan Sihombing juniussetiawan@ust.ac.id <p>Big Data has become a revolutionary phenomenon, transforming nearly every aspect of human life, from how we communicate to the methods of large-scale data collection, storage, and analysis. While it offers numerous benefits, such as technological advancements and increased efficiency across various sectors, Big Data also poses complex ethical challenges. From the perspective of theological philosophy, these issues raise profound questions about individual privacy, the distribution of authority, and moral responsibility in data usage. This article explores how Big Data interacts with theological principles, particularly in the context of ethics, highlighting critical issues such as privacy violations, inequities in data control, and the implications for human freedom and dignity. Through a critical analysis approach, this research provides insights into how theology can play a role in formulating ethical guidelines to address these challenges in the digital age.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/4164 Theodicy in the Perspective of Philosophical Theology: Addressing the Problem of Evil and Suffering in the Presence of an All-Powerful God 2024-10-07T01:32:28+02:00 Benediktus Bagus Hanggoro benediktusust@gmail.com Febri Novel Sinaga febrisinaga@gmail.com <p>Theodicy is the most difficult problem in philosophical theology, and it concerns how God, if benevolent and omnipotent, can permit evil and suffering into the world. This article considers classical and modern arguments about theodicy: those by Augustine and Leibniz, the modern critiques by David Hume, and existential philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre. Through a hermeneutical approach, this paper will illustrate the relevance of theodicy to modern theological ethics and how suffering can be approached in light of the furthered understanding of human free will and divine love.</p> 2023-02-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Conference of Omnibus Omnia https://ejournal.ust.ac.id/index.php/InCOMNIA/article/view/4165 The Integration of Theology and Technology: Exploring the Impact of Digitalization on Religious Understanding 2024-10-07T02:58:38+02:00 Angelo Bonardo Purba angelobonardo@ust.ac.id Junius Setiawan Sihombing juniussetiawan@ust.ac.id <p>The digital era has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including the understanding and practice of religion.
