Synergy of Pancasila Humanism and Theological Ethics: The Foundation for Building a Digital Culture towards the unity of the Indonesian Nation

Abstract

Digital culture has become a hot topic to be discussed together, given its increasingly strong impact on the life of Indonesian society in this digital era. The fact that lifestyle is shaped by the influence of digital technology in this era illustrates the decline in human values. Overcoming this requires an expected order or culture as a binder and shaper of a social lifestyle in Indonesia based on ideology and the state ideology termed Pancasila, so that the essence of interacting and communicating returns to its substance. Pancasila Humanism does not conflict with Christian teachings because the Bible shows how much God loves humans created in His image. Many verses show that God commands humans to live in harmony and respect one another's rights. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative with literature study techniques through books, journal articles, general articles on the internet, and manifold other relevant literature. This study aims to describe the importance of digital culture based on the values of Pancasila humanism. It also clarifies how to build this culture along with the challenges and impacts. The study's results concluded that a digital culture based on Pancasila humanism could be built through collaboration, literacy, and socialization, all of which are to be accelerated. The Lord Jesus commands us to carry out our role as the ‘salt’ and ‘light’ of the world (Matthew 5:13- 16). The church must thus be able to manifest Biblical truths amid society in diverse ways for the betterment of all of humanity.
