The Mind

The existence of Christians in this world cannot be separated from the community in which they are located. When someone is in the midst of a community with a different way of life, it is very possible for him to be similar to his surroundings. Whereas what God wants from the existence of Christians in the world is that they can become bright, not follow the flow around them. Paul once gave a special message to the Romans so that they would not be like this world but changed by renewal of mind. This study focuses on the study of the phrases ἀνακαινώσει τοῦ νοὸς (anakainosei tou noos) from Romans 12: 2, which literally means renewal of the mind. This study aims to find out what is meant by the renewal of the mind, why it is necessary to renew the mind, how the renewal of the mind occurs, and how it applies to the life of Christianity in the present. With the exegesis method, researchers try to find out the meaning of the phrase either through lexical studies or by paying attention to the background of letter writing. Having found the meaning and relation to the context of the phrase, its application is made for Christian life today. The conclusions of this research are as follows: First, the renewal of the mind in Romans 12: 2 is a renewal of one's awareness of the truth which builds understanding of the true meaning of life. Second, followers of Christ need to experience a renewal of the mind because the mind will play a role in determining its life, namely in creating or setting its standard of living. Third, renewal of the mind is a process that occurs continuously every day through the Word of God which is done by the Holy Spirit, so that by this process Christians will understand the will of God, that is what is good, that is pleasing to God and perfectAbstrakKeberadaan umat Kristen di dunia ini tidak dapat dipisahkan dari lingungan masyarakat di mana mereka berada.  Ketika seseorang berada di tengah masyarakat dengan cara hidup yang berbeda, sangat mungkin baginya untuk menjadi serupa dengan sekitarnya.  Padahal yang dikehendaki Tuhan dari keberadaan umat Kristen di dunia adalah agar mereka bisa menjadi terang, bukan mengikuti arus sekitarnya. Paulus pernah berpesan secara khusus kepada jemaat Roma agar mereka tidak menjadi serupa dengan dunia ini tetapi berubah oleh pembaharuan pikiran.  Penelitian ini memusatkan kajian kada frasa ἀνακαινώσει τοῦ νοὸς  (anakainosei tou noos) dari surat Roma 12:2, yang secara literal berarti pembaharuan pikiran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa yang dimaksud dengan pembaharuan pikiran, mengapa perlu pembaharuan pikiran, bagaimana terjadinya pem­baharuan pikiran, serta bagaimana penerapannya bagi kehidupan kekristenan pada masa sekarang. Dengan metode eksegesis, peneliti mencoba menemukan makna dari frasa tersebut baik melalui studi leksikal maupun dengan memperhatikan latar belakang penulisan surat. Setelah ditemukan makna dan kaitannya dengan konteks dari frasa tersebut, dibuat penerapannya bagi kehidupan kekristen­an sekarang ini. Sebagai kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: Pertama, pembaharuan pikiran dalam Roma 12:2 adalah pembaharuan kesadaran sese­orang terhadap kebenaran sehingga terbangun pemahaman akan makna hidup yang benar. Kedua, pengikut Kristus perlu mengalami pembaharuan pikiran karena pikiran akan sangat berperan dalam menentukan kehidupan­nya, yaitu dalam mencipta­kan atau menetapkan standar hidupnya. Ketiga, pembaharuan pikiran adalah proses yang terjadi terus menerus setiap hari melalui Firman Tuhan yang dikerjakan oleh Roh Kudus, sehingga dengan proses ini orang Kristen akan mengerti kehendak Allah yaitu apa yang baik, yang berkenan kepada Allah dan sempurna.

Will Of God

Edwards’s aesthetics grounded in the ongoing work of God communicated in creation, not only lies at the centre of his thought but is increasingly recognized as one of his most original contributions to theology. Edwards’s reflection on God’s beauty emerged in the context of his work as a pastor, which allowed him to frame God’s dynamic presence in dramatic and multi-sensory categories. For Edwards Beauty glimpsed in the form of images formed in the mind reflects a consent of being; the visual beauty of symmetry and proportion is meant to move the heart to consent to the will of God reflected in creation—what Edwards calls respectively secondary and primary beauty. All creatures are types and shadows of spiritual realities; beauty and morality are linked, though only the Holy Spirit allows believers to consent to God’s self-disclosure in creation. Edwards’s neo-platonic framework allowed his reflections on the revivals to affirm physical beauty while subordinating its meaning to the spiritual, enhancing its role as revelation but diminishing its value as an end in itself.

Blessing, Father: Blessed be the Lord, who has stirred your Reverence, holy priest, to ask my humble person for an account of the life of our holy mother Melania the Roman, who dwells with the angels.1 Since I spent considerable time with her, I have a slight knowledge of the senatorial family from which she sprang and how, having forsaken the vanity of the world, she started out on an angelic way of life. But since I know my own shortcomings only too well, I considered myself incapable of narrating such great struggles. I rather decided that it was safer to refuse, believing that I could better exalt the noble servant of God by my silence than insult her outstanding achievements through my idle words. However, since you, holy priest, promised again to help me through your pious prayers, I took courage through the power of the [Holy] Spirit: I am preparing to throw myself into the infinite sea of narration, looking forward to the celestial reward for my obedience....

Human Eyes

In a service of the right kind God speaks to the congregation, and the Holy Spirit opens the hearts and lips of the congregation to reply. The means by which the inscrutable God comes out of the ‘Light unapproachable’ is His ‘Word’. It has been the will of God to limit His self-revelation to mediation through the ‘Word’. This self-revealing ‘Word’ makes itself known in two ways:Firstly, God became man in Christ. He has thus entered our field of vision. From Christ's words and acts and from His character discernible behind them, the Father's nature, heart and will towards us are discerned, so far as such discernment is given to man. Christ is that aspect of God which is turned towards us. He reflects the rays of God, so far as human eyes can bear their light. As making known God's heart and will, Christ is therefore in a special sense ‘God's Word’. To describe Christ as the Word of God is to give a fully adequate picture. It is as the Eternal Word of God that the Risen Lord is in the midst of His faithful.

Philosophical Doctrine

The article reconstructs the integral philosophical doctrine in the heritage of Saint John of Kronstadt, which includes the doctrine of being, knowledge, man, nature and history (i.e. ontology, epistemology, anthropology, natural philosophy and historiosophy). It is shown that this doctrine is based on the hermeneutics of biblical texts and patristic tradition, and the method of this philosophy is spiritual reflection based on the acquisition of the Holy spirit and the transformation of the mind. The ontology in this philosophy is revealed through the Revelation of the creation of the world, and anthropology- the creation of man, and therefore they have the character of sacred history. Philosophy of nature has the character of the Revelations about Tri-hypostatic God showing His properties in the creation. Tri-hypostasis of the Creator defines the ontology of the human being, carrying His Image. The revelation of the End of the world sets the semantic structure of the historical process and is the paradigm for understanding any specific events.

Is a church order, according to it’s nature, not contrary to the work of the Holy Spirit? The question is whether a church order should be seen as anti- Spiritual. Does a church order, in contrary to the work of the Holy Spirit, lead to rigidity of the church? By this question the controversy of the spiritual life of the church versus the institutional ordination of it has been raised as a real actuality in modern church life. The rejection of the institutional character of the church has a long history. To understand the true nature and the true Scriptural functioning of a church order one needs to get perspective on the new order which was given by Christ by means of his Holy Spirit. The new order must be seen as the way of life that was created by Christ on the profound ground of the expiation. In this context a church order must be understood as existing in the movement from the believer to the Word which occurs in the leading of the Spirit through ordained means. Seen in this sense, a church order must be regarded as a modus quo by which the church is governed by Christ by means of his Spirit, in order to maintain the new order which He created for his children. Seen as such, a church order is not a man created dispensable burden for the church of Christ, furthermore it is not an anti-Spiritual instrument by which the church is plunged into a dreary existence of cold formalism. To the contrary, a true Scriptural church order must be appreciated as a valuable instrument through which the governing labour of Christ, by means of his Holy Spirit, in the church should become visible. A Scriptural church order is in essence a correction on the separation of the Holy Spirit from the Word of God. Therefore a Scriptural church order should be considered as indispensable in this world for church being, according to the new order of life in Christ.

Lukas memberikan porsi tertinggi terkait dengan tema Roh Kudus. ­ Oleh karena itu, pembahasan mengenai pneumatology. Lukas harus diarahkan kepada apa yang sudah, sedang, dan akan dikerjakan atas gereja dan seluruh orang percaya yang adalah tubuh Kristus. Hasil dari karya itu akan berdampak kepada kehidupan jemaat yang bertumbuh secara kualitas dan kuantitas. Namun dewasa ini, Roh Kudus banyak dipandang sebagai kuasa dari luar yang membuat pelayanan seseorang berhasil. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkap kembali karya Roh Kudus dalam hidup orang percaya sebagai pribadi dan tubuh Kristus. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pneumatologi Lukas mengarahkan setiap orang percaya masa kini dapat memanifestasikan karya dan kasih Roh Kudus bagi setiap orang. Dengan mengerjakan ini, maka relativitas dunia dalam memahami kasih Tuhan dapat terlihat jelas dalam cara hidup orang percaya yang menjaga harmonisasi seluruh ciptaan.Luke gives the highest portion related to the theme of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the person who begins, works, and ends God's work in this world. The results of this work will impact the congregation's life, which grows both in quality and quantity. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit is widely seen as an external power that makes one's ministry successful. The purpose of this research is to reveal the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers as the person and body of Christ again. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results show that Luke's pneumatology directs every believer today to manifest the work and love of the Holy Spirit for everyone. By doing this, the relativity of the world in understanding God's love can see in the way of life of believers who maintain the harmonization of all creation.

Radical Transformation

 The author analyzes the conceptions of ontological nihilism in the works of S. Kierkegaard, F. Nietzsche, M. Heidegger, E. Jünger. On the basis of this analysis, violence is defined as a manifestation of nihilism, of the “will to nothingness” and hypertrophy of the self-will of man. The article demonstrates the importance of the problem of nihilism. The nihilistic thinking of modern man is expressed in the attitude toward a radical transformation of the world from the position of his “absolute” righteousness. The paradox of the current situation is that there is the reverse side of this transformative activity, when there is only the appearance of action and the dilution of responsibility. Confidence in the rightness of own views and beliefs increases the risk of the violent imposition of own vision of reality. Historical and philosophical reconstruction of the conceptions of nihilism allowed to reveal the following projects of its comprehension and resolution: (1) the project of “positing of values,” which consists in the transformation of the evaluation, which is understood as another perspective of positing values, leading to the affirmation of being; (2) the project of overcoming nihilism from the space of temporality, carried out through the resoluteness to accept the historicity of own existence; (3) the project of overcoming nihilism as the oblivion of being from the spatial perspective of the “line,” allowing to realize the “glimpse” of being. The author concludes that it is impossible to solve the problem of violence and its various forms of its manifestation without overcoming “ontological nihilism.” Significant role in solving the problem of ontological violence is assigned to philosophy as a critical and responsible form of thinking, which is capable to help a person to bear the burden of the world, to provide meanings and affirm being, as well as to unite people and resist the fundamentalist claims of exclusivity and rightness.

Christ’s healing of humanity consists, crucially, in forming human beings for loving relationship with himself and others. In this respect, Christ also takes the role of the beautiful beloved. Believers become pilgrims by falling in love with the beautiful Christ by the initiative of the Holy Spirit, who cleanses their eyes to see him as beautiful and enkindles desire in their hearts. By desiring and loving the beautiful Christ, the believer is conformed to him and learns to walk his path. Desiring the beautiful Christ forms a believing community shaped aesthetically and morally for a particular way of life: pilgrimage to the heavenly homeland. Formation is both earthly and eschatological, for so too is the journey and the activity of the pilgrim.
