Ethical Principles in the Book of Proverbs and Its Implementation for Sexual Education in the Land of Papua

Ruben Rewasan, Maria Evvy Yanti

Abstract


Ethics in the Book of Proverbs touches almost all aspects of the praxis of human life in the world. This view is contrary to the view that separates theology and ethics in general. These two aspects not only regulate the problem of an abstract relationship between man and a transcendent God, but about the rules of human life. It also regulates the wider relationship between fellow humans even with the environment and the universe. This diversity shows a very broad scope not only regarding the writing style but also regarding the moral message it conveys. There is a problem when Christian ethics comes into contact with practical matters in aspects of people's lives in Papua. Christian ethics categorically rejects adultery and upholds marital fidelity. But in practical life there is behavior that legalizes" adultery. Through qualitative descriptive research methods that discuss these aspects, this paper shows that belief in God must have a real impact on humanitarian issues. In its application, man needs to have wisdom based on the fear of God.
