Mercy in John 20:19-31 and Its Actualization

Arie Rizky Oktavianus Saragih, F.X. Marmidi — Rab, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

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.

Baptism According to Matthew 3:13-17 and the Martutuaek’s Rite

Febri Novel Sinaga, F.X. Marmidi — Rab, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

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 martutuaek 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 "inire" or "initiare," which mean: to enter or join into a group; or also accept someone into a group. Martutuaek is an initiation rite in the Batak Toba community, while Matthew 3:13-17 narrates Jesus’ baptism. The dialog between Jesus’ baptism and martutuaek 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 martutuaek’s 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 martutuaek since it is about God’s revelations.

Lukman Pandiangan, Boni Pandapotan Purba, Fransiskus Xaverius Marmidi — Rab, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

This article shows that if the ecclesial document Humana Communitas 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.

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.

Benediktus Bagus Hanggoro, Febri Novel Sinaga — Rab, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

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.

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.
