From animosity to reconciliation: Colossians as narrative of cosmologic migration Ethical discussion concerning the phenomenon of animosity can gain a lot in depth and effectiveness if a strategy is followed of uncovering the cosmological narratives on which worldviews are based. Each worldview generates its own ethical system on the basis of fundamental metaphysical matrices in the form of cosmological narratives. In this article, the letter to the Colos- sians is used to demonstrate how a cosmological narrative of cosmic estrangement results in an ethic of animosity, while a cosmological narrative of reconciliation in Christ results in an ethic of peace and reconciliation. Three cosmological narratives are compared for this purpose: a popular pagan, a Jewish apo- calyptic mystical and a Christ-centred cosmological narrative are read together. In this way it is demonstrated that a new ethic – which ends the common animosity of our world – is only possible if a cosmic migration occurs, from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of the beloved Son, Jesus Christ. In the discussion, the church will play a prominent role as exem- plary community of the new creation, because it is in the church that the peace of Christ, the result of his victory over the powers, rules over and in people, in this way establishing new relationships of peace and justice.

Rowan Williams’s ecclesiology is shaped by his account of the spiritual life. He examines the transformation of human beings’ relationships to one another, driven by their encounter with God’s utterly gracious love in Jesus Christ. The church is the community of forgiven people generated by Christ’s resurrection. It is animated by its constant exposure to God’s love in Christ in word and sacrament. It is held to that exposure by its doctrinal discipline. It is a community in which members go on learning from one another how to go more deeply into that exposure. For Williams, the church’s commitment to unity and its commitment to truth go together: truth cannot be discovered without holding together in unity to learn from one another; and proper ecclesial unity is unity in this search for truth.

Abstrak: Artkel ini membahas konsep kristologi penganut krsiten tauhid. Persoalan doktrin Kristologi, khususnya tentang hubungan antara natur keilahian dan natur keinsanian Yesus Kristus sudah ada sejak abad mula-mula, sehingga gereja merumuskan rumusan Chalcedon pada konsili Chalcedon yang diadakan tahun 451. Tetapi persoalan Kristologi tetap berlanjut meskipun gereja sudah memiliki rumusan Chalcedon tersebut. Salah satu ajaran yang menentang Trinitas dan doktrin keilahian Yesus Kristus adalah unitarianisme, yang muncul pada abad reformasi. Paham unitarianisme merupakan paham yang meyakini bahwa hanya ada satu Allah saja, baik eksistensi maupun persona. Dalam ajaran tentang Kristus, paham ini lebih menekankan kemanusiaan Yesus Kristus dan menolak natur keilahian Yesus Kristus. Dibuktikan pada  bagian Alkitab bahwa Yesus adalah Allah dalam beberapa cara. Karena Kristus benar-benar tokoh yang pernah hadir dalam sejarah dunia ini. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kajian literatur, sehingga diperoleh data tentang latar belakang sejarah dan ajaran penganut Kristen Tauhid, presuposisi penganut Kristen Tauhid, pokok-pokok pemikiran Kristologis penganut Kristen Tauhid, analisis terhadap konsep Kristologi penganut Kristen Tauhid dan implikasinya bagi Theologia Kristen.Abstract: This article discusses the christology concept of monotheistic Christians. The issue of the doctrine of Christology, especially regarding the relationship between the divine nature and the human nature of Jesus Christ, has existed since the early centuries, so the church formulated the Chalcedon formula at the Chalcedon council which was held in 451. But the Christological problem continued even though the church already had the Chalcedon formula. One of the teachings that opposed the Trinity and the doctrine of the divinity of Jesus Christ was unitarianism, which emerged in the Reformation century. Unitarianism is an understanding that believes that there is only one God, both existence and person. In the teachings of Christ, this understanding emphasizes the humanity of Jesus Christ and rejects the divinity of Jesus Christ. This writing uses a descriptive research method with a literature review approach, in order to obtain data on the historical background and teachings of monotheistic Christians, presuppositions of monotheistic Christians, the main points of Christological thoughts of monotheistic Christians, analysis of the concept of Christology of monotheistic Christians and their implications for Christian Theology

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theology of creation is rooted in the confession that Jesus Christ is the mediator. Apart from Christ’s mediation human beings cannot perceive God’s creation, because our postlapsarian world manifests only a fallen creation in which good and evil are confused and intermixed. Whereas Bonhoeffer in his student years affirmed a limited role for the orders of creation, his subsequent writings on the theology of creation can be read as a response to and reaction against the orders of creation. Although human beings have no unmediated access to knowledge of God’s creation, and know the world as fallen creation only through Christ’s redemption, in Christ they are empowered by the Spirit, incorporated into Christ’s body the church, and made a new creation. Only in light of the hoped-for eschatological fulfilment of the new creation may Christian theology speak of the beginning of God’s ways as Creator.

AbstractThe Anglican Communion has been tested by difficult theological tensions that have painfully affected mission in different contexts. The troubled question is: ‘Who is Jesus Christ for Anglicans?’ This paper suggests that, as the spiritual centre has already shifted to the church in the Majority World, the reflections and insights of Africans concerning Jesus Christ should be taken into account in any Christological reflections. African Christology is more holistic as it integrates the person and the work of Christ, which apply to the whole of African life.Jesus, the Lord of cultures and the Healer, is alive today. He has overcome death so that God’s transforming power may heal our deeply wounded souls and our broken communities. The Anglican Communion should recognize the healing power of the Lord Jesus, and continually re-affirm the salvation in Christ, forgiveness of sins, transformation of life and incorporation into the holy fellowship of the church. The world needs the credible witness of Christians who live in the world, but are not of the world.

This article gives a short reflection on the background and origin of the social-scientific model change agent in relation to change agency, a relationship that causes an alternate state of consciousness for the change agent. Arguing from the seven-point explanation of Malina and Pilch of how a change agent operates, this article applies the model to the letter to the Ephesians. The conclusion is that this social-scientific model is helpful for the recent church to realise how narrow the relation is between Jesus Christ and the church, in view of the future of the church as a future in Christ. A choice is made to find alternate words in the Afrikaans language suitable for the theological debate, namely  opdraggewer [change agency],  meningsvormer [change agent] and alternatiewe staat van bewussyn [alternate state of consciousness].

God’s church as always been facing obstacles and trials throughout history, the church has been challenged in many ways, whether it is from inside or outside, to bring the people’s faith to failure for centuries. Therefore, it cannot be ignored that there have been challenges in a large number. Paul wrote to the church at Colossae to respond to the false teachers that had been slipped into the church. They teach that surrendering to Christ and obedience to the apostles teaching is not sufficient to grant full salvation. These false teachers mixed philosophy and human tradition with the Gospel (Col. 2:8). And asked for the worship of the angels as the mediator between God and men (Col. 2:18). These false teachers demanded certain Jewish practices (Col. 2:16, 21-23) and also justified their fallacies by stating that they had the revelation through visions (2:18). Paul has proven the false teachers’ faults by showing that Christ is not only believers’ savior, but also the head of the church and the Lord, and the Creator. Therefore, it is neither the philosophy nor human wisdom that must be seeded, but Jesus Christ and His Power within a believer’s life that has redeemed and saved believers forever, we need no mediator and we as believers can approach God directly. Believers need only to have faith in Christ, rely on Him, love Him, and live in His presence. We, as believers, may not add rules that are not according to the Gospel.Sejarah kehidupan jemaat Allah selalu mengalami hambatan dan cobaan, gereja ditantang dengan berbagai cara baik dari luar maupun dari dalam untuk menggagalkan iman jemaat. orang percaya dari abad ke abad, maka tidak dapat disangkali telah terjadi banyak tantangan. Paulus menulis kepada jemaat Kolose oleh sebab guru-guru palsu telah menyusup ke dalam gereja. Mereka mengajar bahwa penyerahan kepada Kristus dan ketaatan kepada ajaran para rasul tidak memadai untuk mendapat keselamatan penuh. Para pengajar sesat ini mencampur filsafat dan tradisi manusia dengan Injil (Kol. 2: 8). Dan meminta penyembahan para malaikat sebagai pengantara Allah dan manusia (Kol. 2:18). Para guru palsu ini menuntut pelaksanaan beberapa syarat agama Yahudi (2:16, 21 – 23) serta membenarkan kekeliruan mereka dengan menyatakan bahwa mereka mendapat wahyu melalui penglihatan-penglihatan (2:18). Paulus membuktikan salahnya bidat ini dengan menunjukkan bahwa Kristus bukan saja Juruselamat pribadi orang percaya, tetapi kepala gereja dan Tuhan semesta alam dan pencipta. Karena itu, bukannya filsafat atau hikmat manusia yang diunggulkan, melainkan Yesus Kristus dan Kusa-Nya di dalam kehidupan orang percaya itulah yang menebus dan menyelamatkan orang percaya untuk selama-lamanya, perantara tidak perlu dan kita sebagai orang percaya langsung dapat menghampiri Allah. Orang percaya hanya beriman kepada Kristus saja, bersandar kepada-Nya, mengasihi-Nya dan hidup di hadirat-Nya. Kita sebagai orang percaya tidak boleh menambah aturan-aturan yang bertentangan dengan Injil Kristus.
