For ages, man has been confronted with loads of questions. Millions of people tried to find answers but never got to the point where they could say they were satisfied. There are things that we think we do know. But often when we grow up we come to see we did not know it really. […]
Originally posted on memory's sacred domain:
There’s been some interesting discussion recently on ThinkNet on the age-old debate on the relationship between theology and philosophy. For the uninitiated, ThinkNet is a mailing list of people from various disciplines interested in the reformational school of Christian philosophy (often identified by the shorthand — for good…
Toestand van de doden De gedachten over de toestand van de doden, zoals we die vinden in het Oude Testament, komen velen erg deprimerend over. Het valt echter niet te ontkennen dat God de mens, na zijn zonde, de toegang heeft ontzegd tot eeuwig leven. Dat vertelt God ons ten minste in het boek Genesis. […]
We gaan verder in op de vraag of er wel bewijzen kunnen gevonden worden dat er één God of meerdere goden zijn die hebben ingestaan voor het ontstaan van het universum. Het is maar in latere jaren, toen de wetenschap vorderde dat mensen zijn gaan twijfelen aan het bestaan van goden en of Één Ware Schepper God.
“U hebt uw schatkamers gevuld, hoewel de tijd ten einde loopt”(Jac.5:3) De geest van Nimrod Nimrod was de eerste machthebber op aarde … De kern van zijn rijk werd gevormd door Babel, Uruk, Akkad en Kalne, in Sinear. Vanuit dat land trok hij naar Assyrië, waar hij Nineve, Rechobot–Ir en Kalach bouwde, en ook de […]
Present day reality of computerisation and the many applications, a repeating loop of “verse of the day” Bible balm.
Geschapen mens God heeft de mens geschapen naar Zijn beeld en als Zijn gelijkenis. Maar hij werd niet zo geprogrammeerd, dat hij alleen maar kon doen wat God wilde. De mens werd geschapen met een vrije wil en heeft dus keuzevrijheid. God stelt ons door middel van Zijn opvoedingsproces voor keuzes. Uit wat wij kiezen, […]
Vervolg van Bijbel en Wetenschap – Geloof en onderzoek een wetenschappelijke benadering Het bewijs van Gods bestaan 1. De weg van veel goden naar geen God 2. De weg van de filosofie Bij de discussie over de vraag of je Gods bestaan wel of niet kunt bewijzen, of zelfs maar zou moeten bewijzen, moet je […]
Vragen naar het goede Nu kwam er iemand naar Jezus toe met de vraag: ‘Meester,wat voor goed moet ik doen om het eeuwige leven te verwerven?’ Hij antwoordde: ‘Waarom vraag je me naar het goede? Er is er maar één die goed is. Als je het leven wilt binnengaan, houd je dan aan zijn geboden’. […]
“Many in the church have turned their back on serious study, and have embraced an anti-intellectualism which refuses to learn anything from scholarship at all lest it corrupt their pure faith. It is time to end this stand-off, and to re-establish a hermeneutic of trust (itself a sign of the gospel!) in place of the […]
A Global issue The human and economic cost of the CoViD-19 pandemic 2020 will be the year to remember the lockdown of many European countries, because of CoViD-19. The human and economic cost of epidemics is unsustainable. Effective research and coordinated action stop outbreaks spiralling into global health emergencies. This pandemic of the coronavirus not […]
Once more we in Europe could see how racism is running higher than a few years ago and how president Trump likes to put oil on the fire. It are unbelievable pictures of a police officer sitting tranquil on his knees, pressing the throat and head down of the African-American George Floyd who did not […]
On March 13 Belgium came in lockdown after already some weeks of limited possibilities to work or to move around. Being retired one would think the restrictions for people going or not going to work and having to stay at home (in your own place) would not change much for that person. I must say […]
Though it has been said so many times, this weekend in several cities, parks and streets it looked like many had not heard about safety and social distancing measures. Let us all help such people to remind that all can help to shorten the lockdown by taking a short pain instead of going on for […]
Social distancing – isolation and mouth masks Too many people ignoring Health and Safety measures. It is a real shame to see several Easter people ignore the Corona measures and the lockdown. We may not forget that the health measures taken now are to avoid what happened some hundreds of years ago. We do not […]
A look in the time: Health advice from the government a few decades ago.
Soon it shall be the most important day of the year. It shall not be to remember that on the 8th of April is the Blessed Night of Bara’a. The night before 15 Shab’aan which is called Lailat-ul-Baraat. According to some believers in the Almighty, Allah determines on this night who will die in the […]
Today’s Thought “Let brotherly love continue” (June 06) As Christadelphians we are brothers and sisters in Christ, which means we should love each other as brothers and sisters, being part of a great family. Whatever might happen in this world we should Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. (Hebrews 13:1) The world […]
Today’s Thought “For our God is a consuming fire” (June 05) The title concludes Hebrews 12 we read today. The whole chapter provides the climax to the remarkable chapter 11 with its testimony of the faithful; those who “died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from […]
Today’s Thought “By faith …” (June 04) Today we read the well-known Hebrews 11; it starts, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. This is the vital lesson we must take to heart in reading this chapter – that having faith is having a state of mind […]
In Hebrews 10 we pick out just three of several wonderful and challenging verses, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works … encouraging one another, and all the more as […]
Our Hebrews reading includes a long quotation (8:8-12) from the prophet Jeremiah. This starts with “Behold the days are coming” and ends with “for they shall all know me [the LORD] from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more”. […]
Tonight let us remember the bad and the good that came over our people and be grateful for the way the Elohim is helping us day in day out.
Time of distress should never be an excuse to not follow the mitzvah of our God. As such now in a time of lockdown, being isolated we should still have a Memorial Meal.
One Passover tradition asks that if people can afford to, they provide those less fortunate with foods that are eaten during the holiday, like matzah, eggs, chicken or wine.
Before the Israelites escaped Egypt they solemnly prepared themselves for their escape and had the seder in their closed circle, what we shall have to do in 2020 as well.
Israeli parents did their best that their children could enjoy a normal Purim. Medical face-masks make a big appearance at holiday events. 39+ Israelis have coronavirus. President Rivlin expected to give first mandate to Benny Gantz.
Lockdown wegens coronavirus, gelegenheid om tijd te nemen voor je zelf en om even wat meer tijd te nemen om aan de Elohim te denken.
Een zalig Pesach toegewenst! – Blessed Passover!
De opdracht van Godswege omtrent het doorvertellen van Gods daden moeten wij ook tijdens de isolatiemaatregelen rond het coronavirus opvolgen.
Wegens het Coronavirus zal er in 2020 geen mogelijkheid zijn om gezamelijk de Shemoth te herdenken en zal eenieder alleen in de huiskring 14 Nisan kunnen vieren.
Ook vandaag lopen velen in de wereld met een masker op, zij het om schoonheid te herinneren maar ook om hun eigen te verstoppen voor de ander.
Vanuit de geschiedenis van Esther zijn veel parallellen te trekken naar de huidige situatie in het Midden-Oosten. In Perzië, het huidige Iran, is niet veel veranderd als het gaat om Jodenhaat en anti-Israël retoriek.
woensdag (tussen twee counselling sessies) is daar iemand by die hek hallo ma ek kom nie kuier nie ek is hier vir ‘n ruiltransaksie sy skuif haar masker eenkant toe gee vir my ‘n toegeknoopte sak ek is hier vir ma se naaimasjien só kan ek nie meer sukkel nie ek haal my […]
Dit het weereens ‘n ruk gevat om hier te kom. Eintlik het dit ‘n landswye lock-down geneem om my tot stilte te kry. Ek het baie verander, die manier hoe ek oor goed dink het ‘n nuwe vorm aangeneem. Ek bevraagteken myself steeds, ek bevraagteken my koers… maar vandag was vir my mooi. Elke keer […]
