Imago Dei merupakan benih emas yang dapat memberikan kesempatan setiap orang mencapai golden moment. Ada banyak faktor yang dibutuhkan untuk seseorang mencapai golden moment, salah satunya adalah: Golden Seed atau benih emas. Golden moment bukanlah konsep utopis, melainkan sebuah keyakinan dan pengharapan berdasarkan janji Tuhan bagi umat pilihan-Nya. Abstrak: Golden moment merupakan istilah untuk menunjukkan sebuah masa keemasan seseorang atau gereja, seperti masa kejayaan atau pencapaian. The conclusion is, that imago Dei is a golden seed which enables every people has the golden moment. This article used a bible exposition method on Genesis 1:26, which explained that human was created in a frame of Imago Dei. This article has a purpose to gice a biblical view of imago Dei which is inside of every human. Imago Dei is a golden seed which gives an opportunity to the golden moment.

Some factors are required to achieve the golden moment, one of them is a Golden Seed. It is not the utopian concept, yet a conviction and expectation based on God’s promise for His people. Golden moment is a term that refers to someone’s or church’s achievement and glory. Eine solche Auslegung impliziert, dass G*tt (Jhwh) auf der Seite von Personen wie David steht, die sich – aus der Sicht anderer Menschen, wie auch Davids Frau Michal – sonderbar benehmen, also queer verhalten. Möglicherweise identifizieren sich queer Lesende mit David und wenden sich wie er von vorherrschenden Machthabenden – wie den Mitgliedern von Sauls Dynastie – ab, wenn sie wegen ihrer queeren Lebensweise nicht respektiert, sondern verfolgt werden – wie David von König Saul verfolgt wurde. Davids ausgelassenes, fröhliches und eventuell sexuelles Verhalten kann Assoziationen mit dem Verhalten heutiger Personen auslösen, die sich als gay („fröhlich“, „schwul“) bezeichnen. Nach der hebräischen Version der Ladeüberführung nach Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 6 ist König David so leicht bekleidet, dass er sich beim Tanz vor G*tt (Jhwh) öffentlich entblößt. Such an interpretation implies that G*d (hwhy) is on the side of persons like King David, who-from the point of view of other people as well as of Davidʼs wife Michal-behave in a strange fashion, thus act queerly. Queer readers may identify with David and like him turn their backs on dominant rulers-like the members of Saulʼs dynasty-if they are not respected because of their queer way of life, but persecuted-as David was persecuted by King Saul. Davidʼs wild, gay and possibly sexual conduct can evoke associations with the behavior of gay persons of today. This article performs a theological reconstruction of worship theology and analyses it briefly through a literature review of several literature works such as books, articles and research findings.Īccording to the Hebrew version of the transport of the ark to Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 6, King David is so scantily dressed that he publicly exposes himself while dancing before G*d (hwhy). Each church should have a unique way in their respective cultures. The key finding is that the meaning of worship lies not in the direction but in the worshippers’ hearts. The church should deem it important to teach the congregation the concept of true worship and not worship that is trapped in appearances. The research contribution suggests that the church should be accommodating in its orthodoxy to accept this as truth. The article concludes that worship by gestures is biblically substantiated. A biblical argument about body movements, which should not be trapped in appearance and drama, is the third part.

Secondly, it is explained that body movement is a language to God. Firstly, the writer traces the origins of objections to bodily movements in liturgy and analyses them. This article aims to explain and defend the position that worshipping God by moving the body in liturgy is biblical and has a theological foundation. In many religions, worshipping God whilst moving the body is part of worship.
