Ing 1 Timotius 5:20, Paulus nulis bab pinituwa sing dosa ing jemaat lan apa sing kudu ditindakake yen pinituwa nindakake dosa. Paulus dhawuh marang Timotius supaya ora nampa tuduhan marang pinituwa, kajaba tuduhan kasebut adhedhasar saksi loro utawa telu.. Only when the accusation was based upon two or three witnesses, Timothy had to rebuke the sinning elder before the congregation so that the fear of God would remain. Let’s look at what the Bible says about the spiritual meaning and purpose of rebuking a sinning elder publicly (before all in the church).
Apa sing kedadeyan karo pinituwa sing dosa ing pasamuwan saiki?
Dina iki, akeh wong Kristen bakal langsung mikir utawa ngomong: “Apa sing atos lan ala!”, “Oh, wong mlarat kuwi (wong tuwa)! Kita ora kudu nindakake kanthi cara kasebut, amarga wong mlarat iku wis nandhang sangsara marga saka dosa” utawa “Kitab Suci mrentah kita supaya lumaku ing katresnan, lan iki dudu pratandha lumaku ing katresnan lan nuduhake katresnan marang pepadhamu. Ora ana wong sing pengin isin ing ngarep kabeh jemaah, amarga kita ora sampurna, kita kabeh dosa”.
Many Christians would say these things because padha kadagingan instead of spiritual. They walk after the flesh instead of the Spirit.
Instead of being led by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, they’re led by their opinions, raos, lan emosi. Nanging, this is very dangerous for the Body of Christ.
Amarga iki, Christians don’t change their lives to the Word of God. tinimbang, they adjust the words of God and dhawuhé Gusti Yésus Kristus marang karsane, lusts, lan kepinginan. Padha nutup mripat lan nggawe kuping bolong kanggo bebener Gusti Allah.
Ing artikel iki, sesepuh ditulis ing wangun lanang amarga luwih gampang diwaca. Nanging ditrapake kanggo lanang lan wadon.
Marang pinituwa aja nampa pandakwa, nanging ana ing ngarepe saksi loro utawa telu. Wong-wong sing nglakoni dosa diwènèhi sakèhé, supaya wong liya uga wedi
1 Timotius 5:20
What does the Bible say about the characteristics of elders in the church?
Para pinituwa didhawuhi marang Gusti Yésus Kristus lan dadi duta Kratoné Allah (kaya sing kudu ditindakake saben wong Kristen). The Bible says about the characteristics of an elder (uskup) that An elder should walk in righteousness and be blameless (tegese ora duwe dosa ing uripe).
An elder should be a husband of one wife, duwe anak sing setya, sing ora didakwa rusuhan utawa ora diatur. One that rules well his own house, gadhah anak-anake ing tundhuk karo kabeh gravitasi.
Wong tuwa kudu tanpa cacad, minangka pangarsaning Allah; ora karep dhewe, ora enggal nesu, ora diwenehi anggur, ora ana striker, ora diwenehi rejeki reged.
Wong tuwa kudu dadi wong sing seneng silaturahmi, pacangan wong apik, waras, mung, suci, lan sedheng. Dhèwèké kudu nyekel tembung sing setya kaya sing wis diwulangké, supaya marga saka piwulang kang bener iku bisa paring pitutur lan bisa ngyakinake kang mbantah.
Wong tuwa kudu ngopeni wedhus Allah. Dheweke kudu njupuk pengawasan kasebut, ora kanthi kendala, nanging kanthi kersa; ora kanggo reget reget, nanging saka pikiran siap; uga ora kaya nguwasani warisane Gusti Allah. Nanging para pinituwa kudu dadi tuladha kanggo wedhus (Tumindak 14:23, Timotius 1:6-9, 1 Petrus 5:1-3).
Para pinituwa kagungane lan makili Kratoning Allah
Every born again Christian, kalebu wong tuwa, iku warga Kratoning Allah. Minangka lair maneh Kristen; a citizen of the Kingdom of God, you have a responsibility. You have to obey the law and the rules of the King and His Kingdom.
As a born again Christian and follower of Jesus Christ, sampeyan duta; wakilé Yésus Kristus lan Kratoné.
You are no longer a representative of the kingdom of darkness. Iki tegese, that you don’t live in submission to the ruler of the darkness (setan) and obey him. Sampeyan ora nindakake apa setan, donya, and your flesh (nyawa lan awak) ngandika lan dhawuh kanggo nindakake.
Sing amarga, you have crucified the flesh in Christ and live in submission to Christ. You obey Jesus Christ (tembung) and you do what is written in the Bible.
Lan wong-wong sing dadi kagungané Kristus wis nyalib daging karo pepénginan lan pepénginané
Galatia 5:24
Wong tuwa sing dosa duwe Iblis minangka bapak
When an elder sins it means that the elder lives after the flesh and listened and obeyed the devil instead of God. Sepuh, who sins rebels against God and disobeys His Word by fulfilling the desires and lusts of his flesh.
Through his deed of unrighteousness, he has rejected the Word and denied Jesus Christ. Ing tumindake wong tuwa nuduhake kang manggon ing panguwasa lan kang dirungokake.
Kowe kuwi saka bapakmu, Iblis, lan pepénginané bapakmu bakal koklakoni. Dheweke dadi tukang mateni wiwit wiwitan, lan ora manggon ing bebener, amarga ora ana bebener ing dheweke. Nalika dheweke ngomong goroh, kang ngandika saka dhewe: awit wong iku goroh, lan rama iku. Lan amarga Aku pitutur marang kowe sing bener, sampeyan ora pracaya marang aku. Sapa sing bisa ngyakinake aku saka dosa? Lan yen aku ngomong sing bener, kok ora percoyo? Wong sing asalé saka Gusti Allah ngrungokké tembungé Gusti Allah: mulane kowe ora krungu, awit kowé dudu saka Gusti Allah (John 8:44-47)
Deleng ing Taman Eden. Adam and Eve didn’t have a sinful nature, but they believed the words of the serpent (setan) and followed up his advice. While God was very clear and warned them what kind of evil would happen to them, if they ate the fruit from the forbidden tree.
Senadyan bebaya Gusti Allah, they believed the words of the devil instead of the words of God. Through their deed of eating from the forbidden tree, they rejected God and His truth and obeyed the devil and his lie and sinned.
It is the same for everyone that walks in sin. Dheweke nolak Gusti Yésus (tembung) lan dhawuhe, lan pracaya lan manut marang goroh setan, sing makarya liwat daging lan sistem donya.
Apa sebabé Timotius kudu ngukum pinituwa sing wis nglakoni dosa sadurunge kabeh?
Timothy had to rebuke the sinning elder in front of the whole congregation, so that every believer would have and keep a wedi lan ajrih marang Gusti Kang Maha Kuwasa; nitahake langit lan bumi lan kabeh sing ana ing njero.
Wedi marang Yéhuwah kudu tetep ana ing pasamuwan. Because without the fear of the Lord, wong mukmin bakal mlebu ing dalan sing dipilih dhewe. They would do what they wanted to do and live after their own will, kaya jagad iki, tinimbang Karsane Gusti Allah.
The believers had to know that you can’t play games with the Almighty God and this is still the case.
Bahagia iku wong sing tansah wedi: nanging sing sapa mangkokaké atiné, iku bakal cilaka
Paribasan 28:14
How to prevent spiritual lukewarmness in the church?
Paulus dhawuh marang Timotius supaya manut lan netepi dhawuh iki. Supaya wong-wong sing pracaya ora dadi suam-suam kuku marang Gusti Allah lan ora peduli karo dosa.
Paul weruh ing kahanan spiritual pasamuwan. Dheweke ngerteni alam spiritual: Kratoning Allah lan Kratoning pepeteng.
Paul knew when a sinning elder would teach the believers in the Word of God (Alkitab), roh jahat iki sing mrentah ing gesang sepuh dosa, would come upon all the believers (pasamuwan).
Mulane Paulus dadi ketat lan ati-ati kanthi ngidini lan milih wong-wong sing percaya ing posisi kepemimpinan.
Paulus ngerti banget, what sin is and what sin produces in a person’s life.
Dheweke ngerti, sing nalika dosa yaiku tolerated Ing pasamuwan, ora bakal suwé kabèh pasamuwan bakal kena pengaruh ala lan bakal mati sacara rohani.
When an elder or any other person in the church walks in sin, tegese wong iku lumaku ing pepeteng lan ala (peteng) is present in the heart of the person.
Para pinituwa kudu urip suci lan lumaku ing kabeneran
In the many letters that Paul wrote to the saints, Dheweke terus-terusan ngajak wong-wong mau supaya urip suci lan lumaku ing kabeneran lan nyingkirake wong tuwa. Saben-saben Paulus ngélingké wong-wong sing pretyaya, bilih kanthi iman ing Gusti Yesus Kristus, padha dadi a Penciptaan anyar.
Paul taught them, how they should walk as the new creation in this new (spiritual) life that was given to them in Christ by the Sih-rahmat saka Gusti Allah.
Amarga minangka Gusti Allah, Yesus Kristus, lan Roh Suci, Sing urip ing lair maneh Kristen dening Roh, iku suci lan bener, mangkono uga wong Kristen lair maneh, sing wis digawe ing gambar Gusti Allah, suci lan lumaku ing kabeneran.
Minangka anak manut, aja padha nguwasani hawa-nepsu kang uwis-uwis nalika ora ngreti: nanging padha kaya Panjenengané kang nimbali kowé iku suci, Dadi sampeyan suci kanthi suci kanthi obrolan; Amarga ditulis, YO kowé suci; amarga aku suci. (1 Petrus 1:14-17)
Gusti Allah wis maringi putra-putrane (kalorone lanang lan wadon), everything in Christ to resist the devil and sin.
He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in High Places, so that we’ll be able to live holy and walk in righteousness in obedience to God and His Word, and represent and manifest the Kingdom of God on earth.
Miturut getih Yesus lan Karya redemptre, sampeyan wis digawe suci lan bener. Mulane, sampeyan bakal urip lan lumaku minangka titah anyar ing kasucian lan kabeneran. Just like Jesus walked in holiness and righteousness through obedience to His Father and doing His will.
Anggere sampeyan ngrungokake Sabda, lan manut lan nglakoni Sabda, you stay in Christ and live after the Spirit in freedom under the blood.
A roh pilih kasih ing pasamuwan
Timotius kudu netepi dhawuh iki, senajan hubungane karo wong tuwa sing dosa (an acquaintance, kanca, utawa anggota kulawarga), lan senadyan kang (sosial) status lan kasugihan.
Timotius ora bisa mbedakake apa wae ing pasamuwan. Dheweke kudu nambani wong kanthi padha, kalebu wong tuwa sing dosa. Yen Timothy dianggep wong ora adil, he would be led by a spirit of partiality. (Maca uga: Rohé Eli).
Sampeyan ora bakal ngajeni wong ing pangadilan; nanging kowé bakal krungu wong cilik lan wong gedhe; kowe aja wedi marang pasuryane manungsa; amarga paukuman iku kagungane Gusti Allah: lan sabab sing angel banget kanggo sampeyan, gawanen marang aku, lan aku bakal krungu (Deuteronomy 1:17)
sedulurku, ora nduwé iman marang Gusti kita Yésus Kristus, Gusti kang mulya, karo bab wong (James 2:1)
Piyé pasamuan kudu nambani pinituwa sing dosa?
Ing pasamuwan Dina, iku arang utawa ora tau kelakon, bilih pinituwa dosa utawa pandhita dosa didukani sadurunge jemaah.
Ing jaman biyen, iku normal sing sepuh dosa ngakoni dosa lan mratobat ana ing ngarepe umat kabeh lan dheweke dicopot saka jabatane lan dilucuti kuwajibane. Nanging saiki meh kabeh 'masalah' kepemimpinan spiritual dirampungake ing mburi lawang tertutup ing setelan pribadi. Kaping pirang-pirang dadi rahasia.
Kadhangkala, nanging ora tansah, pinituwa dosa bakal sementara dibusak saka kantor, so that ’the issue’ can appease. But after a short time, wong mau bakal ditahbisaké manèh dadi pinituwa ing pasamuwan sing padha utawa ing pasamuwan liya.
Ing artikel sadurunge, re-ordination saka pinituwa dosa wis rembugan. Mulane iki ora bakal dibahas ing artikel iki. Yen sampeyan durung maca artikel kasebut, lan kepengin maca, banjur sampeyan bisa ngeklik link ing ngisor iki: Apa sing dimaksud Paulus kanthi ndadak numpangi tangan marang sapa wae?
In the name of false love and grace sin is accepted in the church
Nyuwil-nyuwil wong tuwa sing nglakoni dosa ing ngarep wis ora dadi formalitas maneh. Iku di-push adoh ing jubah saka katresnan lan sih-rahmat, lan ditanggulangi ing setelan pribadi. Nanging iki ora cara Gusti Allah (lan Gusti Yesus) wants the church to deal with sin.
Ing badan Kristus; the church is one body and not a divided body and should live holy.
The church needs to obey the Head Jesus (tembung), tinimbang setan (panguasa jagad iki).
Especially the elders and leaders of the church should be spiritually mature, and walk as adult sons of God after the Word and the Spirit and bear the wohing Roh.
Padha kudu urip suci lan mursid lan dadi conto kanggo wong Kristen.
Padha kudu mundhakaken wong pracaya ing Sabda Jahwéh, supaya padha dadi kaya wong-wong mau, and like Jesus and walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh.
Sayange, akeh pinituwa tetep kadagingan. Wong-wong mau dipimpin déning roh donya iki lan urip kaya donya. They approve and accept sin in the church and change the Word of God.
They change the gospel of Jesus Christ and the words of God in the Bible to their own opinion, feelings and the carnal will, hawa nepsu lan kepinginan, supaya wong Kristen kadagingan, kalebu awake dhewe, bisa urip kaya donya, doing what they want and keep walking in sin.
Apa gunane ngukum dosa sadurunge kabeh ing pasamuwan?
When the sin of an elder is exposed in the church and the sinning elder is rebuked before all, lan metu saka kantor, it ensures that:
- Wong Kristen tetep wedi marang Yéhuwah (pakurmatan) lan ngabekti marang Gusti Allah lan Sabdanipun
- Kristen ngerti yen Gusti Allah iku Gusti Allah sing adil lan sengit marang dosa lan Panjenengane (lan umate) ora bisa sesambungan karo dosa
- Wong-wong Kristen diwanti-wanti lan disengkuyung supaya urip suci lan nolak dosa, lan tetep manut marang Sabda
- Wong-wong Kristen tetep setya lan serius bab Kratoné Allah lan ora dadi kesed lan suam-suam kuku.
- Gréja tetep tangi lan waspada lan eling marang dosa lan akibate
- Preventing lukewarmness among Christians
- Gossip and speculations about the matter and the sinning elder will be prevented in the church
Para pinituwa kudu nindakké apa sing diwulangké wong tuwa
Nalika pinituwa dosa tetep ditahbisake utawa bakal ditahbisake maneh sawise wektu sing cendhak lan bali menyang dosa sing padha, apa wong tuwa isih bisa dipercaya?
When a sinning elder commands the believers to stay obedient to the Word and live according to what the Bible says, nanging wong tuwa ora nindakake lan ora nindakake apa sing diwartakake, Apa sampeyan mikir yen wong-wong sing percaya bakal ngajeni wong tuwa lan percaya lan manut marang pituture?
The believers shall have little or no reverence and don’t believe his words let alone apply his words in their lives.
They shall think, “”Ha hear him talking! Telling us what we can’t do, but he does what he commands us not to do.”
Many elders are just like the Pharisees that acted piously in the presence of people. Padha dhawuh marang wong-wong supaya manut marang pangandikane Gusti Allah, nanging ing rahasia, nalika ora ana sing nonton, they disobeyed the words of God.
Nanging, Gusti Yesus, Sapa sing dadi Pambarep saka titah anyar, weruh lan ngerti kabeh liwat Roh. Panjenengané nguningani atine wong-wong mau lan ngetokaké atiné wong-wong mau. Gusti Yesus ora ndhelikake apa-apa lan ora ndhelikake, but He exposed evil and numpes karya pepeteng.
Gusti Yesus isih weruh lan ngerti kabeh. Lumantar Roh Suci, Dheweke isih mbukak apa sing kedadeyan ing peteng. Jesus reveals everything, angger pasamuwan tetep mlaku ing pepadhangé.
Ngakoni dosa sadurunge kabeh
Nalika ing jaman biyen, para pinituwa ngakoni dosané ing ngarepé kabèh wong, it ensured that elders would think twice before they listened to their flesh and gave in to the will, pepénginan lan pepénginan daging lan dosané.
Padha tetep wedi marang Gusti Allah lan ngajeni Sabdané. Padha ora bakal wani ngganti apa-apa bab pangandikane Gusti Allah lan nyetel Tembung marang pepenginan lan hawa nepsu.
Ora ana sing pengin 'diremehake' ing ngarepe wong akeh. Ora ana sing pengin ditandhani minangka pinituwa dosa.
Wong-wong padha tangi rohani lan waspada. Ana wedi marang Gusti lan kesadaran dosa.
Wong-wong mau ngerti nèk dosa kuwi tanda kraman lan ora manut marang Gusti Allah.
Dheweke ngerti yen dosa ora ana papan ing pasamuwan. Amarga pasamuwan makili kabeneran Gusti Allah lan panguwasa spiritual saka Kratoning Allah ing bumi iki.
Wong-wong Kristen ngerti nèk dosa kuwi tegesé manut marang Sétan lan dosa kuwi njalari pisah antarané karo Gusti Allah.
Ing pasamuwan-pasamuwan modern jaman saiki, dosa diijini. Tiyang sepuh ingkang dosa punika boten dipun dukani malih wonten ing ngajengipun tiyang-tiyang saha awit saking punika, ajrihipun dhateng Gusti sampun meh sirna. Ora ana kepinginan ing antarane wong-wong kanggo nolak dosa lan urip sing suci lan suci ing Kristus.
Umume wong Kristen pengin urip kaya jagad iki lan ora pengin nyerahake uripe dhewe. Padha tetep kadagingan lan urip dhewe sawise daging.
Para pinituwa sing dosa ngolok-olok Yésus lan ngrusak Kratoné Allah
Many elders and pastors of the church keep living like the world. They live after the flesh instead of the Spirit. Para tamu pasamuan wis ora ngadhepi dosa maneh. Dheweke ora didandani, amarga akeh para pinituwa lan para pandhita sing nglakoni dosa dhewe. Dheweke nindakake apa sing disenengi lan fokus marang awake dhewe lan kerajaane. Wong-wong mau ora preduli karo kesejahteraan spiritual wong-wong sing percaya lan Kratoné Allah.
Saben-saben, nalika pinituwa utawa pandhita nglakoni dosa, he mocks Jesus and defiles the body of Christ. Through his deed of disobedience to God he damages the Kingdom of God.
A sinning elder or preacher doesn’t walk in love and doesn’t love God above all. Nanging wong tuwa sing dosa nresnani awake dhewe lan daginge. Dheweke dadi abdine awak lan Iblis.
Manut Gusti Yésus lan nglawan dosa
Mulane, let us become serious again regarding the Kingdom of God. Mesthine ana kepinginan ing saben wong pracaya supaya manut marang Gusti Yesus lan urip suci lan lumaku kanthi bener ing kersane Gusti Allah.. Amarga wong sing pracaya tresna marang Panjenengane ngluwihi kabeh wong pracaya netepi dhawuhe.
Nolak dosa, kang teka liwat godaan saka Iblis ing daging. Ngomong ora kanggo dosa, tinimbang dadi a abdi saka dosa.
Gusti Yesus nelukake dosa liwat karya nebus sampurna. Yen wis lair maneh (dagingmu wis mati ana ing Kristus lan rohmu kawungokake saka ing antarane wong mati) sampeyan titah anyar. Sampeyan wis lenggah ing Kristus lan Panjenengane wis maringi kabeh sing perlu kanggo nglawan Iblis lan dosa lan mujudake Kratoning Allah ing bumi..
Ora ana sing duwe alesan maneh. Ora ana sing bisa nyalahke wong liya, dudu setan. Saben wong Kristen tanggung jawab kanggo tumindake dhewe ing urip lan bakal tanggung jawab ing Dina Pengadilan sing gedhe..
'Dadi uyah ing bumi'
