List of loan words in Indonesian

The Indonesian language has absorbed many loanwords from other languages:

  • Early Hindu and Buddhist influence from India results in many Sanskrit words in Indonesian (and especially Javanese). Indian traders may have contributed words as well, in Sanskrit-related languages as well as Tamil.
  • Muslim influence, which came at first through Arabic traders, over a number of centuries results in an extensive Arabic influence.
  • Portuguese contact, trade and colonization in the 16th century was the first contact between Indonesia and European culture, and had an influence that remains today, in spite of the relatively short time period of that influence.
  • Dutch colonization and administration, lasting from the 17th century to the 20th, had an extensive impact on the vocabulary. As Dutch-trained linguists determined the rules for the official Indonesian language, Dutch thus had an impact on the structure of the language as well.
  • Modern Indonesian regularly adapts new words from other languages, particularly English.

See Indonesian history for more detail.

Indonesian differs from the Malay language in a number of respects, particularly the influence it had from Dutch. See Differences between Malay and Indonesian.

List of loanwords

Almost all loan words in Indonesian with Chinese origin comes from Hokkien dialect.

Indonesia extends between 6 degree country, it was until 11 degree indonesia, and from 97 degree until 144 degree, also it is situated between two continents.i.e. Asia and Australia/Oceania. This strategic location has a significant influence towards its Culture, Social, Politics and Economy.Indonesia's territory extends along 3.977 mile between the indian ocean and the pacific ocean.

OUTLINE : FOLLOW THE LEADER
Tony Evans

Text: Hebrews 13:17–24
Topic: How we must answer our personal calling to impact the world
Introduction
• A church fails for one of two reasons: poor leadership or lack of congregational support.
• Leaders must lead well, but they need people to follow well, too.
- Hebrews 13:7–24
• The church only develops properly when members play their part; if we fail to do and be what God has called us to do and be, we will never disciple the church or impact the world.

Relate properly to your leadership.
• The writer of Hebrews asks that you simply remember those who have led you; don't take for granted leadership that is leading well.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13
• Hold quality leadership in highest esteem—it's hard to come by!
• The writer of Hebrews says we must also obey our leaders.
• There must be a chain of command in the family of God, marked by obedience.
• We're not talking about blind obedience or dictatorial attitudes.
- 1 Peter 5:3
• On the other hand, there's not to be disrespect for leadership.
• There is to be obedience, as long as what the leader asks of you is commensurate with the Word of God—even if it's not your preference, or you wouldn't do it "that way."
• We are all held accountable in this area of our lives.
• One reason you may not be receiving a blessing in your life is because you have a rebellious attitude.
• One of the most important questions of the church is not only, "Leaders, what have you done for me lately?" There is another question: "Members, what have you done for leaders lately?"
• Along with remembering and obeying your leaders, greet your leaders.
• Illustration: With a greeting of shalom, Hebrews were saying, "How are you, over all?"
• When the writer tells us to greet leaders, he wants us to express personal concern.
• We are to look out for the concerns of our leaders—to be an encouragement for their well-being.

Use your gifts.
• Along with properly relating to leadership, each member of the church is responsible to use his or her God-given talents to serve the rest of the church, building up the body of Christ.
- Ephesians 4
• God has given the church staff to equip the body for works of service; just as you can't build a home without work, you can't build a church without work.
• You only have to have one bad part to stop the whole church.
• You don't hire a pastor or a pastoral team to replace the work of a body; you hire staff to equip you to do the work of ministry.
• A church will not grow, and a body will not expand, unless every member says, "I must play a part."
• I believe it is a sin to benefit from a ministry to which you do not contribute; everyone who claims to be a member of the church but does not use his or her time and talents to serve the church insults God—the one who invited them into his home in the first place.
- 1 Peter 4:10–11
• Spiritual gifts are divine enablements, empowered by the Holy Spirit, that allow you to glorify God and build up his family.
• I would like to suggest that every believer only has one spiritual gift.
• A person may be multi-talented, but they are singularly gifted; the difference is, God has given you one gift at a time to use uniquely for the building and promotion of his body.
- Illustration: God could take a natural love for coaching and so infuse it with the power of the Holy Spirit that young boys are being developed into young, godly men.
• It becomes a spiritual gift when it's being used to glorify God and build up the body.
Support strong family structures.
• A church, Paul insists, must be comprised of strong families, because the church itself is a family.
• Because Satan will attack your family, you must fight for your family.
- 1 Timothy 5:8
• The Greek word for "provide" is a very interesting word, meaning "to think ahead" or "to provide by seeing in advance."
• Man's responsibility is to set a process into motion that assures the progress and well-being of the family.
• Women are to bear children to produce a godly seed to counteract the unrighteous seed.
• Women are to keep house, managing the affairs of the home.
Conclusion
• My challenge for us is simply to become a better membership—and we'll try to be better leaders as we all build this church together.

INDONESIA: ISLAMIC GROUPS SECURE CLOSURE OF TWO CHURCHES



Monday December 03, 2007


INDONESIA: ISLAMIC GROUPS SECURE CLOSURE OF TWO CHURCHES Baptist, Catholic congregations shut down after Muslim extremists attack, protest.
GKBJ Sepatan church members
JAKARTA, December 3 (Compass Direct News) – Attacking the house of a Baptist pastor and protesting the presence of a Catholic temple, radical Muslim groups got authorities to close down two churches in the past two weeks.
In Banten province, extremists from the Islamic Defender Forces (Front Pembela Islam, or FPI) on November 21 attacked the Tangerang home of the Rev. Bedali Hulu, pastor at Jakarta Christian Baptist Church (GKBJ), kicking out doors and windows, breaking glass and throwing the pastor’s belongings from the house. The church had been meeting in the pastor’s home.
At the time of the attack, only the pastor’s mother-in-law and a member of the church, Temaziduhu Laoli, were in the house, located at Perumahan Permata Sepatan, Desa Pisangan Jaya in Tangerang. Habib Muhammad Assegaf led the attack.
As a result of the attack and objections to the church, Rev. Hulu met with Pisangan Jaya village leaders on November 22 – with the result that officials asked him to leave the territory until tensions cooled. Activities at the church, which has a permit and is registered with Religious Affairs authorities, came to a halt.
“It’s okay for a while, but I’ll be back,” said Rev. Hulu. His wife and his mother-in-law were allowed to remain in their house.
The pastor previously had met with Pisangan Jaya village authorities on Nov. 8, sources said, after about 10 Muslim extremists on November 4 arrived at a Sunday school class at the house church, ordering shocked children to stop meeting. That night, they said, protestors returned and forced those present to halt their worship.
Rev. Bedali Hulu and his wife
Before the November 21 attack, sources said, Muslim extremists from the FPI on November 19 hand-delivered a letter to Rev. Hulu at his home demanding that the church close down.
At the November 22 meeting with the pastor were GKBJ leaders and Hanie Lawrence, chairman of Damai Sejahtera Party (PDS) of Banten territory, along with Pisangan Jaya Village leaders under the district military post command.
The PDS’s Lawrence told Compass that the Muslim extremists of the FPI were mistaken by claiming all area residents supported the closing of the church. He said one of the Muslim group’s demands was that the church pay a fee.
The church activities began in June 2005, and objections didn’t arise until January 4, 2007, when area residents asked that the church shut down because it was meeting in a home.
Loud Demands
In West Jakarta, about 75 Muslim demonstrators on November 23 demanded a halt to the ministries of Damai Kristus (Christ’s Peace), a Catholic church in Kampung Duri.
Marching against the church ostensibly because it didn’t have the proper permit for expansion – local authorities had denied the parish priest’s application without explanation – the irate demonstrators walked from Al Maulana mosque to the church yelling “Allahu Akbar [God is Great].”
About 15 protesters, including members of the FPI, undertook tense discussions with the church board at the parish house, along with some local government members. Under the banners of The South Duri Region Mosque-Musholla and the Majlis Ta’lim Cooperation Forum, they submitted several demands that in essence would require the church to stop all of its activities – permanently.
Sources said the protestors threatened violence if church leaders refused to comply with their demands and tried to force clergymen to remove all religious symbols.
The church leaders refused their demand to cease activities, saying such requests could only be made by an official letter from West Jakarta officials. The protestors left the church, returning shortly thereafter with a letter from the Tambora district head requiring the church to halt its ministries.
Previously, beginning November 19, local officials and police had asked church leaders to explain new construction on the church premises, pointing out that the parish priest did not have a permit to build a place of worship. Clergymen Anton Corebima and Frans Susanto explained that the new construction was for living quarters, not a church.
The parish priest had applied for the building permit and was immediately refused without explanation, according to Asia News.
The property had been zoned as a residential area, with the Mother of Sacred Heart Foundation originally using it for a multi-function room of a Catholic school, the agency reported. Gradually it grew into a small church, and area zoning was changed from residential to social function in 1998.
The church, which is registered with religious authorities, reportedly has some 4,000 parishioners.
