== Kerangka sistem apologetika Geisler == |
|||
Geisler terutama dikenal sebagai seorang apologetika Kristen klasik. Antara tahun 1970 dan 1990 ia berpartisipasi banyak debat publik dan mendapatkan reputasi sebagai seorang pembela theisme, mukjizat alkitabiah, [[kebangkitan Yesus]], dan reliabilitas (dapat dipercayanya) [[Alkitab]]. Penerbitan pertama kerangka metode apologetikanya dicantumkan pada lampiran buku tahun 1990 "''When Skeptics Ask''" ("Ketika orang skeptis bertanya"). Lampiran ini diberi judul "''Reasoning to Christianity from Ground Zero''" ("Penalaran Kekristenan Dari Dasar Nol"). Di dalamnya terkandung pandangan tingkat tinggi dari sistem holistik apologetika klasik yang telah dikembangkannya selama bertahun-tahun. Kerangka pertama terdiri dari 14 poin argumen:<ref>Geisler, N. L., & Brooks, R. M. (1990). When skeptics ask (p. 289). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books. |
|||
</ref> |
|||
# Ada kebenaran yang terbukti sendiri (misalnya, "Aku ada", "Logika diterapkan pada kenyataan"). |
|||
# Kebenaran bersesuaian dengan kenyataan. |
|||
# Kebenaran dapat diketahui (pandangan-pandangan lain mengalahkan diri sendiri). |
|||
# Orang dapat melanjutkan dari kebenaran yang terbukti sendiri kepada keberadaan Allah. |
|||
## Argumen dari Penciptaan (berlanjut dari "Aku ada") |
|||
## Argumen dari moral (berlanjut dari "Nilai-nilai tidak dapat disangkal") |
|||
## Argumen dari desain/rancangan (berlanjut dari "Desain menyiratkan adanya desainer"/"Rancangan menyiratkan adanya perancang") |
|||
# Allah adalah Keberadaan yang diperlukan (argumen dari keberadaan). |
|||
# Keberadaanku bukan sesuatu yang diperlukan (bukti dari definisi "Keberadaan yang diperlukan"). |
|||
# Karenanya, theisme adalah benar (ada suatu Keberadaan yang diperlukan di luar dunia yang telah menciptakan benda-benda pokok dalam dunia dan bercampur tangan di dalam dunia [bab 3]). |
|||
## Keberatan mengenai masalah kejahatan dapat dipecahkan. |
|||
## Keberatan mengenai mukjizat dapat dipecahkan. |
|||
# Alkitab berdasarkam sejarah adalah dokumen yang dapat dipercaya. |
|||
## Sejarah adalah pembelajaran objektif mengenai masa lampau. |
|||
## Ada banyak bukti sejarah, arkeologis, dan ilmiah yang memastikan reliabilitas Alkitab. (Kelanjutannya: Alkitab memuat catatan yang dapat dipercaya mengenai ajaran Yesus Kristus.) |
|||
# Yesus mengklaim diri sepenuhnya manusia dan sepenuhnya Allah. |
|||
# Ia memberikan bukti untuk mendukung klaim tersebut. |
|||
## Penggenapan nubuat-nubuat |
|||
## Kehidupan-Nya yang ajaib dan tanpa dosa |
|||
## [[Kebangkitan Yesus|Kebangkitan-Nya]] |
|||
# Karenanya, Yesus adalah sepenuhnya manusia dan sepenuhnya Allah. |
|||
# Apapun yang Allah ajarkan adalah benar. |
|||
# Yesus (Allah) mengajarkan bahwa [[Perjanjian Lama]] adalah Argumen yang terilhami dari Allah dan Ia menjanjikan [[Perjanjian Baru]]. |
|||
# Karenanya, baik Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru adalah Firman Allah yang terilhami. |
|||
Ikhtisar sistem ini kemudian sedikit dipersingkat dalam skema 12 poin, sejak tahun 1999, sebagai berikut:<ref>Geisler, N. L. "Apologetics, Argument of", in ''The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics''. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books. 1999</ref> |
|||
# Kebenaran mengenai kenyataan dapat diketahui. |
|||
# Hal-hal yang berlawanan tidak dapat sama-sama benar. |
|||
# Ada Allah yang theistis. |
|||
# Mukjizat mungkin terjadi. |
|||
# Mukjizat yang dilakukan dalam hubungan dengan klaim kebenaran adalah tindakan Allah untuk memastikan kebenaran Allah melalui utusan Allah. |
|||
# Dokumen Perjanjian Baru dapat dipercaya. |
|||
# Sebagaimana kesaksian Perjanjian Baru, Yesus mengklaim sebagai Allah. |
|||
# Klaim keilahian Yesus dibuktikan dengan suatu kumpulan mukjizat yang unik. |
|||
# Karenanya, Yesus adalah Allah di dalam daging manusia. |
|||
# Apapun yang dinyatakan benar oleh Yesus adalah benar. |
|||
# Yesus menyatakan bahwa Alkitab adalah Firman Allah. |
|||
# Karenanya, adalah benar bahwa Alkitab adalah Firman Allah dan apapun yang berlawanan dengan Kebenaran alkitabiah adalah salah. |

Geisler advocates the view called [[graded absolutism]], which is a theory of [[moral absolutism]] which resolves the objection to absolutism that in moral conflicts we are obligated to opposites.{{Sfn |Geisler |2009}} Moral absolutism is the [[Ethics|ethical]] view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them. Graded absolutism is moral absolutism but clarifies that a moral absolute, like "Do not kill," can be greater or lesser than another moral absolute, like "Do not lie". According to graded absolutism, in [[Ethical dilemma|moral conflicts]], the dilemma is not that we are obligated to opposites, because greater absolutes are not opposites of lesser absolutes, and evil is not the opposite of good but is instead the privation of good. Since evil is the privation of good, only the privation of the greater good counts as evil, since whenever there is a moral conflict, we are only obligated to the greater good. The real dilemma is that we cannot perform both conflicting absolutes at the same time. 'Which' absolutes are in conflict depends on the context, but which conflicting absolute is ‘greater’ does not depend on the context. That is why graded absolutism is also called 'contextual absolutism' but is not to be confused with [[situational ethics]]. The conflict is resolved in acting according to the greater absolute. That is why graded absolutism is also called the 'greater good view', but is not to be confused with [[utilitarianism]]{{Citation needed |date=January 2012}} (see also [[prima facie right|''prima facie'' right]].)--> |

Of the six major ethical systems (antinomianism, situationalism, generalism, unqualified absolutism, conflicting absolutism, and graded absolutism), Geisler advocates [[graded absolutism]], which is a theory of [[moral absolutism]] which affirms that in moral conflicts we are obligated to perform the higher moral duty.{{Sfn | Geisler | 2009}} Moral absolutism is the [[Ethics|ethical]] view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them.

Norman Leo Geisler (21 Juli 1932 – 1 Juli 2019)[1] adalah seorang apologet Kristen yang berasal dari Amerika Serikat. Ia adalah salah satu pendiri Southern Evangelical Seminary yang berlokasi dekat Charlotte, North Carolina, di mana ia dulunya mengajar. Ia meraih gelar Ph.D. dalam bidang filsafat dari Loyola University. Geisler terkenal karena kontribusi kesarjanaannya pada topik Apologetik Kristen, filsafat, dan Calvinisme moderat serta telah mengarang, bersama-sama mengarang atau menyunting lebih dari 60 buku dan ratusan artikel.
Biografi
[sunting | sunting sumber]Geisler meninggalkan Evangelical Theological Society pada tahun 2003, setelah sekolah itu tidak mau mengeluarkan Clark Pinnock, yang mendukung teisme terbuka.[2] Pada akhir abad ke-20, Geisler memasuki arena Mormon: ia mengarang bersama Rhodes "When Cultists Ask: A Popular Handbook on Cultic Misinterpretation".[3] 47 artikel yang didaftarkan di indeks berkaitan dengan Mormonisme. Ia berkontribusi pada "The Counterfeit Gospel of Mormonism".[4] Pada tahun 2009, Geisler bersama-sama mendirikan Veritas Evangelical Seminary di Murrieta, California. Seminari ini menawarkan gelar master dalam bidang Teologi, Apologetik dan Divinity. Geisler menjabat sebagai Chancellor, distinguished Professor of Apologetics and Theology dan Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics.[5]
Geisler menikah dengan Barbara Jean dan mereka dikaruniai enam anak, 15 cucu dan 3 cicit.
Pendidikan
[sunting | sunting sumber]Pendidikan Geisler meliputi program diploma (1955) dan Th.B. (1964) dari William Tyndale College, B.A. dalam bidang filsafat (1958) dan M.A. dalam bidang teologi (1960) dari Wheaton College, dan Ph.D. dalam bidang filsafat dari Loyola University. Ia mengerjakan karya graduat tambahan pada Wayne State University, University of Detroit, dan Northwestern University di Evanston, Illinois.[6]
Kerangka sistem apologetika Geisler
[sunting | sunting sumber]Geisler terutama dikenal sebagai seorang apologetika Kristen klasik. Antara tahun 1970 dan 1990 ia berpartisipasi banyak debat publik dan mendapatkan reputasi sebagai seorang pembela theisme, mukjizat alkitabiah, kebangkitan Yesus, dan reliabilitas (dapat dipercayanya) Alkitab. Penerbitan pertama kerangka metode apologetikanya dicantumkan pada lampiran buku tahun 1990 "When Skeptics Ask" ("Ketika orang skeptis bertanya"). Lampiran ini diberi judul "Reasoning to Christianity from Ground Zero" ("Penalaran Kekristenan Dari Dasar Nol"). Di dalamnya terkandung pandangan tingkat tinggi dari sistem holistik apologetika klasik yang telah dikembangkannya selama bertahun-tahun. Kerangka pertama terdiri dari 14 poin argumen:[7]
- Ada kebenaran yang terbukti sendiri (misalnya, "Aku ada", "Logika diterapkan pada kenyataan").
- Kebenaran bersesuaian dengan kenyataan.
- Kebenaran dapat diketahui (pandangan-pandangan lain mengalahkan diri sendiri).
- Orang dapat melanjutkan dari kebenaran yang terbukti sendiri kepada keberadaan Allah.
- Argumen dari Penciptaan (berlanjut dari "Aku ada")
- Argumen dari moral (berlanjut dari "Nilai-nilai tidak dapat disangkal")
- Argumen dari desain/rancangan (berlanjut dari "Desain menyiratkan adanya desainer"/"Rancangan menyiratkan adanya perancang")
- Allah adalah Keberadaan yang diperlukan (argumen dari keberadaan).
- Keberadaanku bukan sesuatu yang diperlukan (bukti dari definisi "Keberadaan yang diperlukan").
- Karenanya, theisme adalah benar (ada suatu Keberadaan yang diperlukan di luar dunia yang telah menciptakan benda-benda pokok dalam dunia dan bercampur tangan di dalam dunia [bab 3]).
- Keberatan mengenai masalah kejahatan dapat dipecahkan.
- Keberatan mengenai mukjizat dapat dipecahkan.
- Alkitab berdasarkam sejarah adalah dokumen yang dapat dipercaya.
- Sejarah adalah pembelajaran objektif mengenai masa lampau.
- Ada banyak bukti sejarah, arkeologis, dan ilmiah yang memastikan reliabilitas Alkitab. (Kelanjutannya: Alkitab memuat catatan yang dapat dipercaya mengenai ajaran Yesus Kristus.)
- Yesus mengklaim diri sepenuhnya manusia dan sepenuhnya Allah.
- Ia memberikan bukti untuk mendukung klaim tersebut.
- Penggenapan nubuat-nubuat
- Kehidupan-Nya yang ajaib dan tanpa dosa
- Kebangkitan-Nya
- Karenanya, Yesus adalah sepenuhnya manusia dan sepenuhnya Allah.
- Apapun yang Allah ajarkan adalah benar.
- Yesus (Allah) mengajarkan bahwa Perjanjian Lama adalah Argumen yang terilhami dari Allah dan Ia menjanjikan Perjanjian Baru.
- Karenanya, baik Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru adalah Firman Allah yang terilhami.
Ikhtisar sistem ini kemudian sedikit dipersingkat dalam skema 12 poin, sejak tahun 1999, sebagai berikut:[8]
- Kebenaran mengenai kenyataan dapat diketahui.
- Hal-hal yang berlawanan tidak dapat sama-sama benar.
- Ada Allah yang theistis.
- Mukjizat mungkin terjadi.
- Mukjizat yang dilakukan dalam hubungan dengan klaim kebenaran adalah tindakan Allah untuk memastikan kebenaran Allah melalui utusan Allah.
- Dokumen Perjanjian Baru dapat dipercaya.
- Sebagaimana kesaksian Perjanjian Baru, Yesus mengklaim sebagai Allah.
- Klaim keilahian Yesus dibuktikan dengan suatu kumpulan mukjizat yang unik.
- Karenanya, Yesus adalah Allah di dalam daging manusia.
- Apapun yang dinyatakan benar oleh Yesus adalah benar.
- Yesus menyatakan bahwa Alkitab adalah Firman Allah.
- Karenanya, adalah benar bahwa Alkitab adalah Firman Allah dan apapun yang berlawanan dengan Kebenaran alkitabiah adalah salah.
Dua belas langkah yang sama menjadi kerangka bab-bab dari buku yang sangat populer "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" ("Aku tidak punya cukup iman untuk menjadi seorang ateis")[9] terbitan tahun 2004 dan karya Geisler terbitan tahun 2012 yang berupa e-book "Twelve Points that Show Christianity is True" ("Dua belas poin yang menunjukkan Kekristenan itu benar").[10]
Teologi
[sunting | sunting sumber]Geisler adalah seorang sarjana evangelikal konservatif yang telah menulis suatu teologi sistematika empat volume.[11]
Ia adalah seorang pembela inerrancy Alkitab penuh, menjadi salah satu pemrakarsa dan perancang "Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy" (1978) serta editor buku "Inerrancy" (Zondervan, 1978). Kemudian, ia menulis "Defending Inerrancy" bersama William Roach (Baker, 2013). Ia juga menulis (bersama William Nix) "General Introduction to the Bible" (Moody Press, 1986)[12] and From God to Us, revised (Moody, 2012).
Calvinisme Moderat
[sunting | sunting sumber]Geisler menyebut dirinya seorang penganut "Calvinisme Moderat" ("moderate Calvinism"),[13] sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam buku-buku tulisannya "Chosen but Free" (Harvest House, 2001) dan "Systematic Theology, in One Volume" (Harvest House, 2012). Geisler menolak konsep tradisional Kalvinis mengenai unconditional election ("pemilihan tanpa syarat"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa tidak ada syarat hanya dari pihak Allah), irresistible grace ("anugerah tidak tertahan"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa Allah menghimbau mereka yang "mau menerima karya Allah") dan limited atonement ("penebusan terbatas"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa penebusan hanya dibatasi oleh hasilnya). Namun para kritikus menolak istilah "moderate Calvinism". James White menyebut "hanya bentuk termodifikasi dari Arminianisme dalam sejarah."[14]
Pandangan mengenai etika
[sunting | sunting sumber]Geisler telah menulis buku-buku penting mengenai etika: Christian Ethics[15] dan The Christian Love Ethic.[16] Ia menyampaikan perspektifnya mengenai pilihan-pilihan etika, aborsi, infantisida (pembunuhan bayi-bayi), euthanasia, hal-hal biomedis, hukuman mati, perang, ketidakpatuhan sipil, hak-hal seksual, homoseksualitas, pernikahan dan perceraian, ekologi, hak-hak binatang, obat terlarang, judi, pornografi, pengaturan kelahiran, dan lainnya. Geisler percaya bahwa Revolusi Amerika tidak dapat dibenarkan dari standar Alkitab maupun teori perang adil. Namun, ia bukan sama sekali seorang "pasifis", percaya bahwa perang untuk membela diri dapat dibenarkan tetapi revolusi tidak.[17]
