MENGHAPUS KONFLIK AKIBAT PERBEDAAN LAHIRIAH DI TANAH PAPUA

Abstract

The Holy Bible’s text offers us with very rich meanings of the Greek
words prosōpolēmptes, prosōpolēmpsia, and prosōpolēmpsiais. 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 prosōpolēmptes to describe that God has no
favourites. Saint Paul had continued in his letters to reverberate the word
prosōpolēmpsia in different contexts. Similarly, Saint James in his letter featured
correctio fraterna using the word prosōpolēmpsiais 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.
