The theme for the March 31, 2010 Wednesday Forum was “Matthew’s Contradiction”? which was delivered by Ahmad Saber, an ICRS-Yogya student held again at Rm. 306 at the Graduate School Building. Dr. Robinson Rajagukguk acted as moderator.
In his presentation, the speaker, simply called Saber by friends and colleagues at ICRS and CRCS, discussed the various contradictions he and the Christian scholars found in the Bible, most especially in the New Testament.
Saber said that countless books have been published by Christian scholars on the topic of the various contradictions in the Bible. However, he said, most of these books have gone one of two different routes, either: reconcile every single discrepancy through abstraction and so forth, and when they are presented with two conflicting versions of one story in the Bible they simply choose the one they personally prefer and claim the other was a scribal error, or claim that Jesus was no more than a legend and a myth, and that the Bible, the apostles, and even Jesus himself were only figments of someone’s imagination. Saber, on the other hand, did not go with any of these routes. He, however, took a different route which is that Jesus was indeed a true prophet of God but that His message was corrupted by those who came after him for personal gain.
Presentasi forum yang disampaikan oleh Prof Dr Carolina Lopez C. dalam Wednesday Forum yang diadakan pada April 21, 2010 mengusung judul “Pergerakan Melampaui Kekerasan: Potensi Aplikasi dari Teori Restrukturisasi Kognitif untuk Transformasi Konflik.” Bertindak sebagai moderator adalah Faqiudin A Qodir.
Untuk pembukaan, Prof Lopez memperkenalkan Pusat Dialog & Kesejahteraan Manusia (CDBH) dan keterlibatan mereka dalam berbagai jenis pekerjaan dialog, seperti pendidikan perdamaian, transformasi konflik kerja, penyembuhan memori sejarah dan beberapa lainnya. Setelah itu, Lopez menjelaskan bahwa dalam melakukan pekerjaan mereka, alat analisis yang digunakan untuk seluruh proses kerja dikenal sebagai teori mikro analisis struktural-ideologis yang mengeksplorasi format memori di otak, dan bagaimana pengaktivasian ini menyebabkan kebiasaaan kekerasan dan pola respon terhadap input tertentu. Menurut Lopez, dalam situasi-situasi konflik di mana kekerasan dinormatifkan, lokakarya berbasis ISA menawarkan kepada peserta kemungkinan terhadap kesadaran dalam memilih respon alternatif untuk damai terhadap rangsangan yang menyulut kekerasan di bagian output perilaku mereka.

Tema untuk Wednesday Forum pada tanggal 31 Maret 2010 adalah “Kontradiksi Matthew” disampaikan oleh Ahmad Saber, seorang mahasiswa ICRS-Yogya. Forum ini diadakan di Ruang 306 di Gedung Sekolah Pascasarjana, dan Dr Robinson Rajagukguk bertindak sebagai moderator.
Dalam presentasinya, pembicara, yang akrab dipanggil Saber oleh rekan-rekannya di ICRS dan CRCS, mengungkap berbagai kontradiksi telah ia temukan dalam ajaran Kristen khususnya Alkitab Perjanjian Baru.
Saber mengatakan bahwa telah banyak buku yang tak terhitung jumlahnya diterbitkan oleh sarjana Kristen dengan mengangkat topik tentang berbagai kontradiksi dalam Alkitab. Meskipun demikian, ia mengatakan, sebagian besar buku-buku tersebut telah mempunyai berbagai jalur penafsiran berbeda. Ada yang bersifat mendamaikan setiap perbedaan melalui abstraksi dan sebagainya, dan ketika ayat-ayat tersebut disajikan dengan dua versi yang saling bertentangan satu cerita dalam Alkitab para sarjanawan Kristen hanya memilih satu yang menurut mereka secara pribadi lebih suka dan mengklaim bahwa yang lain adalah kesalahan juru tulis, atau klaim bahwa Yesus tidak lebih dari legenda dan mitos, dan bahwa Alkitab, para rasul, dan bahkan Yesus sendiri hanyalah imajinasi seseorang. Saber, di sisi lain, tidak sepakat dengan berbagai jenis perbedaan ini. Dia, bagaimanapun juga, mengambil penafsiran lain yang berbeda yaitu bahwa Yesus memang seorang nabi yang benar dari Tuhan, tetapi bahwa pesan-Nya dikorupsi oleh orang-orang yang datang sesudah dia untuk keuntungan pribadi.

| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this research is to identify and describe conflict and compromise between adat (tradition) and agama (religion) in the case of Tolaki’s marriage in Southeast Sulawesi. Both conflict and compromose is done by analyzing the types, the factors, and the implications. This research is a qualitative research. The focus of this research is the marriage case of Tolaki people in Southeast Sulawesi. The method of collecting data is attained by using observation about marriage’s ceremonies and rituals; taking by in deep interview to the leaders of adat about the important position in the marriage, and using documentations of some events in the marriage and also the traditional poetries (pantun) within. Later on, the data is conducted by using a sociological approach and will be presented in an analytical qualitative descriptive. It could be sum up that both conflict and compromise persisted the same time in the events of society. Both are seem to be very important and could not be ignored. Therefore, conflict and compromise in marriage case within tradition in one hand and religion in another is a certainty, so one’s existence would not negate the others. However, traditional elite domination, the runaway marriage, and the prerequisite of marriage one three realities of Tolaki’s people which moves between conflict and compromise that might be happens. The compromise situation happens in a marriage, also has a potential conflict. Probably, it seems to be pseudo-compromise, if the effort to preserve stabilization and integration of society doesn’t solve the core of the conflict, instead reduce or obstruct it. Conversely, conflict, which happens in society, doesn’t automatically refers to dysfunction and disharmony situation, because, it could reinforces the establishment of the Tolaki society and the possibility of the new social system. |
