ALLAH SEGALA MAHA DI TENGAH FENOMENA KEKERASAN DAN PENDERITAAN ORANG SALEH

Jusuf Haries Kelelufna

Abstract


Kekerasan dan penderitaan yang dialami orang saleh merupakan persoalan yang unik dalam kekristenan sebab berhubungan dengan sifat Allah yang“segala mahaâ€.Adanya eksistensi Allah “segala maha†dengan eksistensi kejahatan tidak dapat diabaikan namun juga tidak dapat “didamaikanâ€. Berbagai usaha untuk mendamaikannya memunculkan kemungkinan jawaban terhadap penderitaan orang saleh bahwa Allah tidak “segala maha†atau bahkan Allah tidak ada. Penulis menganalisis jalannya logika berpikir dengan mempertimbangkan: syarat, tempat, proses argumentasi serta kesimpulan untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut. Penulis mencatat solusi terhadap persoalan penderitaan orang saleh dengan penekanan pada sifat Allah yang mengasihi, adil, maha kuasa. Namun kasih, keadilan, dan kuasa Allah tidak sama dengan pengertian kasih, keadilan dan kuasa manusia. Satu kemungkinan jawaban terhadap persoalan tersebut tidak dapat digeneralisir untuk semua kasus penderitaan. Penderitaan itu sendiri dapat berdampak positif (transformatif) tetapi juga negatif (destruktif) bagi penderita tergantung tingkat kedewasaan penderita dalam menghadapinya.
