<![CDATA[Ruqyah is commonly understood merely as an Islamic ritual used to expel demons or jinn that disturb the body of Muslims similar to Exorcism in Catholicism. However, there are a lot of things related to both which are inappropriately known and caused misunderstandings ended with shirk. This article will discuss the concept of ruqyah in Islam comparatively with exorcism in Catholicism, as ruqyah is not only a religious ritual used to repel demons or jinn but also a form of Islamic medicine inherited from the Prophet Muhammad. Ruqyah is also classified as the Thibbun Nabawi, making it considered as a part of Sunnah. As such, Exorcism is the teachings of Jesus to the 12 Apostles. Ruqyah is done using Qur’anic verses by every Muslim, as it can be an option for Muslims in dealing with disasters in the form of pain either physical or meta-physical injury derived from the interference of Satan or Jinn. While in Exorcism, the practice can only be done by a few who have obtained the legality of the local bishop, so that the authenticity of this practice can be justified. Even so, there are still many ordinary Muslims and Catholics who do not know and even look for other solutions to the problem and even do shirk.]]>

<![CDATA[This article discusses John Hick's critique of the concept of the incarnation of God Jesus and proves the deconstruction that occurs in the concept of Christian divinity. The author uses descriptive and analytical methods to describe and analyze John Hick's thoughts. According to a study of the Bible and history conducted by John Hick, Jesus never claimed to be God or the incarnate Son of God. In Christianity, the incarnation is not the teaching of Jesus Christ but comes from Paganism which originated in Rome. The incarnation was deliberately introduced by the church to invite the enthusiasm of Christians who were not convinced by the teachings of the church at that time. Jesus who is known in the life of Christians is more appropriate to be called a prophet or a nobleman than to think of him as God. John Hick's opinion is very correct because the Bible as the basis of Christianity never says the divinity of Jesus. ]]>

<![CDATA[This article aims to examine non-medical healing as a miracle of Jesus. According to Christianity, non-medical healing is always being associate with miracles, also called divine healing which consists of healing physical and spiritual illness. Both are important parts of Christ's ministry. Jesus' ministry on earth, marked by healing, miracles, and miraculous signs. With descriptive and analysis methods, this study concludes that healing is a renewal of the body's condition to restore the strength of disease, and miracles are events that are difficult to reach by human reason. The relationship between Jesus' miracles and healing services in the Church is that there are several miracles of Jesus that have shown that faith and physical healing are interrelated. Healing from Jesus is not always instant because faith is a significant factor in getting healthy. One form of Jesus' healing is the law of touch and transmission, which is the means to make miracles. Not only that, but prayer is also a way to get healing from a distance. God wants the Church to fully operate on this earth as the empowered body of Jesus. For this to achieve, the gift and anointing of the Holy Spirit in believers must be activated. So that divine healing services can work in the Church along with traditional medicine while still being inseparable from the Christian faith.]]>

<![CDATA[Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis dan membandingkan pemikiran radikal menurut Islam dan Kristen. Isu radikal dalam agama mencuat karena seringnya terjadi teror yang mengatasnamakan agama, terutama Islam dan Kristen. Kondisi ini membutuhkan suatu solusi agar terciptanya kerukunan antar umat beragama dengan cara memahami hakikat radikal. Pentingnya pemahaman ini karena banyak yang menganggap radikal sebuah paham, pemikiran atau ideologi yang mengarah pada tindakan kekerasan seperti terorisme. Jenis penelitian ini adalah literatur studies, menggunakan metode analisis kritis dan perbandingan, dimana mayoritas data dikumpulkan dari jurnal dan buku. Hasilnya ditemukan bahwa radikalisme memiliki terminologi positif dan negatif dari kedua agama. Dalam Islam kata radikal dimaknai sebagai akar sehingga orang yang beragama adalah orang yang ajaran agamanya mengakar dengan kuat. Namun jika radikal menjadi gerakan maka akan berubah menjadi tindakan yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan kekerasan. Dalam Kristen radikal dipahami sebagai sebuah tindakan yang menyebabkan seseorang mencintai agama Kristen sehingga melakukan kebaikan dengan mencontoh kepribadian Yesus dan kepatuhan terhadap wahyu yang dibawa-Nya. Sementara dari segi negatif dimaknai sebagai tindakan kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok tertentu yang mengatasnamakan agama.]]>

<![CDATA[The term "sect" is familiar to all religious communities. This term is known not only in Islam but also in Christianity, namely Advent (Seventh-day Adventist Church). A church that keeps the Sabbath day holy was pioneered by a woman named Ellen G. White. Its doctrine and teachings are believed to be a vision from God in conflict with his prophecies, because the prophecies taught contradict the doctrine of the Catholic papacy. This research is library research (library research), using several methods including descriptive methods and critical analysis methods. This study found that Ellen G. White's prophecy is a vision from God according to Adventists. But not so with Catholics, they are aggressively looking for evidence and accusing Ellen White of being a false prophet. His claims about visions begin with great experiences in childhood. Conjecture after conjecture emerged from various sects, including the Catholic Church. Some scientists claim that his vision was a mistake because of the suffering he experienced. Finally, this research can contribute to further discussion, so that it can be used to explore the importance of understanding the prophecies of Allah's messengers to stay away from wrong thinking.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to show the attitudes and views of Gnosticism towards the position of Jesus in the Catholic Church. The researcher uses the descriptive method to explain the meaning of Gnosticism, history, and also the characters of Gnosticism. In addition, the researcher also uses a critical analysis method that explains the attitude of Gnosticism to the position of Jesus in Catholicism. The results of the study found that Gnosticism has a concept of a different understanding of the figure of Jesus, and rejects the understanding of Jesus in Catholicism. Gnosticism does not recognize Jesus as a savior, because man's salvation will be obtained from man's own efforts and knowledge of God (Shopia). While Jesus was merely a spiritual teacher who brought the knowledge of God, and Jesus' resurrection was a delusion, Jesus did not rise physically but only spiritually.]]>

The results of this study indicate that there are changes in the reaction of the French authorities to Muslims. In 1914-1918 France accepted workers from Islamic countries. While between 1976 and 1989, massive places of worship were built, French Muslims also formed religious organizations and communities. However, several incidents of terrorism which occurred in various parts of the world that accuse Islam as the perpetrator behind it all, gave rise to the term 'Islamophobia' in the West. As a result, the French authorities made several regulations that clearly discriminated against Muslims. The issue of Islamophobia is based on at least three things; first, Islam has been considered an integral part of French society. Second, Islam is the cause of the economic recession. Third, the September 11 tragedy made Islam labeled as a terrorist actor.]]>
