For historical background I present you quotes about Pongkinangolngolan alias Tuanku Rao then newly converted Batak who lead the first terror for the Padri of Minangkabau between 1816-1821, http://batarahutagalung.blogspot.com/2008/01/beberapa-catatan-mengenai-tuanku-rao.html
Genoside conducted by the Padri jihadist around the lake Toba led by Tuanku Rao, following direction of Tuanku Nan Renceh of Bukittinggi stalled altogether in 1820. This is because many jihadist died from epidemics of cholera and plague and pestilence. From the original 150,000 Padri army who entered Batak Land in 1818, only about 30,000 left two years later. The vast majority were not killed in battle, but died of various diseases.
Padri jihadist attacked again the second time in 1827, directly under the leadership of Tuanku Imam Bonjol ready to resume their attrocities. It's because Tuanku Rao had been killed earlier in the battle for Air Bangis in 1821. This time the Padri attack with greater force and with better preparation. However when camping in Pahae, even before entering Silindung valley, various elements of Batak society together with security troops who were there, destroyed the Padri. Padri forces retreated entirely from the Batak land in 1833 and fought until its demise in Bonjol Pasaman 1837. Tuanku Imam Bonjol himself died in exile in 1864.
For this, we thank Lord Jesus Christ because He spared the Batak tribe and opened their hearts for the good news of the Holy Gospel some 40 years later.
Isaiah 1:24
Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
"Ah, I will get relief from my foes
and avenge myself on my enemies.

Kepada teman-teman dan sanak saudara kami yang kami hormati, marilah kita sejenak bertukar pikiran mengenai pergeseran Adat Batak Toba yang kita praktekkan dan kita jalankan.
Terutama dengan adanya keterkaitan antara adat inti Habatakon dengan animisme ataupun parmalim yang merupakan dasar bagi kita untuk menggeser hal-hal tesebut untuk menjadi yang lebih baik, yang lebih berkenan dan kudus dihadapan Tuhan dan Juruselamat kita Jesus Kristus dan sesuai dengan Firman Tuhan yang kita baca dan terima di dalam Alkitab.
Aek godang tu aek laut
Dos ni roha do sibahen na saut
Nangkok si puti tuat si deak
a i na ummuli ima tapareak
Seluruh saran dan komentar mohon disampaikan di dalam iman pengharapan dan kasih.Tujuan dari note ini untuk sharing topik yang penting ini dan mendapat diskusi yang membangun, agar seluruh adat Batak Toba nantinya yang akan kita praktekkan dan jalankan seluruhnya tiada yang melanggar Firman Tuhan.Mohon maaf bila ada kata-kata yang salah dan sulit untuk dimengerti
Amin

Misrepresentation of the Holy Trinity
Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 3:54pm
Sadly, this is a very common error of the Muslims. The single greatest instance of this is in the doctrine of the Trinity. Muslims so often attack a false understanding of the Trinity by stating that it is three gods. That is not the correct Christian definition of the Trinity doctrine. Christianity does not teach there are three gods. It never has and it never will. The doctrine of the Trinity is that there is only one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Trinitarianism is monotheistic. If a Muslim continues to proclaim that the Trinity is three gods, then I simply stop discussing the issue with him because he is not willing to accept what the definition is and it isn't possible to have a meaningful dialogue.
Another Christian doctrine they fail to understand is the Hypostatic Union. This is the teaching that Jesus is one person with two natures. He is both God and man as is declared in Col. 2:9, "For in Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Because Jesus was also a man, we have verses such as John 14:28 where Jesus says "the Father is greater than I." Muslims will say that if Jesus is God, how could He be greater than Himself? Of course, they fail to understand the Trinity (three persons) and they fail to understand that Jesus, as a man (Phil. 2:5-8), cooperated with the limitations of being a man and was in a lower position than the Father (Heb. 2:9) for a while.
Sometimes Muslims refuse to accept Christian explanations for things because it doesn't fit their agenda nor their preconceived ideas of what they think Christianity is. Oddly enough, Christians often contribute to this problem by offering inadequate and sometimes erring explanations of Christian doctrine. Thus, many Muslims are led into error regarding what Christianity really teaches. Christians need to know their doctrine, and Muslims need to understand the proper explanations for those doctrines.
