MENGHAPUS KONFLIK AKIBAT PERBEDAAN LAHIRIAH DI TANAH PAPUA

Bercermin pada Santo Petrus, Paulus, dan Yakobus

Abstract

The Holy Bible’s text offers us with very rich meanings of the Greek words pros?pol?mptes, pros?pol?mpsia, and pros?pol?mpsiais. These words reveal God’s authentic attitude. Here, God has no favourites, nor is He partial. Saint Peter in the Acts of the Apostles used the word pros?pol?mptes to describe that God has no favourites. Saint Paul had continued in his letters to reverberate the word pros?pol?mpsia in different contexts. Similarly, Saint James in his letter featured correctio fraterna using the word pros?pol?mpsiais to put in front the living out of faith correctly and precisely. The deepest meaning of those Greek words and their implementations in the life as proposed by the three saints, must become a mirror for the life in Papua and anywhere. People should share their lives with their fellow creatures as the images of the one and same God. By following God’s attitude, all sorts of conflict can be dissolved, moreover the members of the Church, must continue to proclaim and promote it in the heterogenous life.
