PENGAJARAN YESUS TENTANG TOLERANSI DALAM MASYARAKAT MAJEMUK

Abstract

In the middle of a pluralistic society, the Indonesian Church exists and develops. The civilization is made up of several tribes, faiths, ethnicities, and nations. Diversity is frequently a source of conflict in the lives of Indonesians. Hate speech in the name of religion, ethnicity, or creed, as well as other acts of intolerance, have become serious issues that must be addressed at this time. Indonesia, which prides itself on its variety, confronts a significant task in moving forward and growing as an independent nation. Tolerance is the attitude and way of living that is required in a plural society. Tolerance is the spirit and energy of variety. Christians, as an intrinsic component of a plural society, must be present to contribute to campaigns and the development of tolerance practice. Tolerance must be established on the teachings and example of the Lord Jesus Christ's life. Tolerance, as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a way of thinking, speaking, and doing for every believer in a plural society. The Church of God is obligated to apply the Lord Jesus' attitude of life, teachings, and tolerance practices. Tolerance requires lessons such as loving all people as yourself, respecting the teachings of other people's religions and beliefs, and cultivating a forgiving mindset.
