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 […]
Many who call themselves Christian do like to follow Augustine, even more than Christ. they do agree with him that reading the Bible is no longer necessary once God had fully cultivated faith, hope, and love in us (On Christian Doctrine, 1.39). In other words, according to them, once we are mature in Christ, the […]
Pew Research Center asked thousands of Americans where they find meaning in life. Their responses were rich, thoughtful and varied. Here are just a few examples of what they told us… “That’s a gosh darn big question for a survey like this, I’m used to the check boxes. I find meaning in career, family, spiritual […]
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 […]
Coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the world, affecting more than 177 countries and claiming more than 36,200 lives. The virus emerged in China in December 2019 and around 3,300 people there have died from the infection – but both Italy and Spain now have much higher death tolls. The coronavirus outbreak was declared a […]

José Antonio Vergara, an epidemiologist from Chile, a former member of the UEA, was interviewed by Katalin Kovats during the pandemic due to the coronary virus / coronavirus (according to José Antonio !!!). In the interview José Antonio talks about the outbreak of the epidemic, and its rise to a global pandemic. He explains how […]
In the previous years we could already see that when there was an outbreak of a serious illness at first countries did not want to get the matter to become public. As such, we saw that in 2003 the reporting of the total number of SARS cases was much under the real numbers. This time […]
Liesbeth List is wel dankbaar geweest naar haar adoptie ouders, maar als zij zo oud werd als haar eigen moeder moest zij toch denken aan haar oorspronkelijke moeder. Toen ze dan 46 jaar werd kwamen de vele gedachten nog meer op en besefte zij nog intenser hoe zij moeder was dan haar moeder en hoe […]
In de jaren 1950-1960 mochten wij geen al te gemakkelijke jongeren geweest zijn. Na de afschuwelijke oorlogsjaren moest het land opgebouwd worden maar leek de wereld in een andere versnelling te geraken. Wij namen het hier in Europa niet meer dat er zo veel onrecht in de wereld was en dat er nog steeds landen […]
Today’s thought “Rejoice in the Lord” (April 9) Today, more than ever before, people love to enjoy themselves. Looking for means of enjoyment is often the pre-occupation of those in “the western world”. They seek situations in which they can have fun, play games, watch shows and much more. Planning for weekends, especially Easter and […]
Scripture verses talking about the position of Christ Jesus, him being the son of God and not God himself. As ea human being sent by God he didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death.
Today’s thought “He humbled himself by becoming …” (April 8) Paul, in the first two chapters of his letter to the Philippians we read today, draws some utterly powerful thoughts, that is, spiritually powerful, from his contemplation of the ‘mortal’ life of our Lord Jesus. Paul tells them to “Do nothing from selfish ambition or […]
Today’s thought “Look carefully” (April 7) Do not we always “look carefully”? We certainly do when we are crossing a road and there is traffic around! The world around us is – more than ever – a highway of godlessness! How do we cope with this highway if we have to go along it or […]
Today’s thought “That is not the way you learned Christ” (April 6) The chapters in Ephesians today are a passionate plea by Paul to the believers there to see their behaviour does not slip back to what it was before they believed in Christ. Life in those days, like life today was full of distractions, […]
Where there is light, there can be no darkness. Light challenges the darkness and banishes it. When you switch on the light, the darkness disappears. What is true literally is also true metaphorically. Light, in Biblical language, is synonymous with knowledge, morality and life, whereas darkness is synonymous with ignorance, immorality and death. The Apostle […]
Jesus said, “Peter, lovest thou Me?” “Yes, Lord. You know I do,” Peter said he. “There is just one command that I want you to keep. You’re the rock for my church – so you must feed My sheep.” “Don’t tell Me you don’t like that one over there Cos there’s mud in his wool […]

Our life in Christ is a demonstration of good characteristics, determined by choice and a constant examination of our motives, our thoughts and our actions.
Bij het lezen van Gods Woord is het alsof we in gesprek zijn met de Allerhoogste. Zulk een intiem moment met Hem is het ideale ogenblik om aan Zijn zegeningen te denken, maar ook om verder nog zegeningen te krijgen, zoals ook koning David op zijn oude dag niet verlegen zat om aldus te doen. […]

From isolation followers of Christ shall have to remember his sacrificial offering from home. Wednesday Apri 8, shall be a night where we look at the unleavened bread and fermented wine as a symbol for the body (flesh) and blood of Christ, which was given as a ransom price for our sins.

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.
Best wishes at the most precious time of year.
2020 the year when an invisible enemy managed to isolate so many people and got so many believers of God not being able to meet with each other for the mitzvah of the memorial meal on 14 Nisan.
Continuing in the book of Adam’s generations we saw that Enoch walked with God after he had begotten Methushelah and find Methushelah bringing Lemech (Lámek/Lamech) the father of Noah on this world. The account ends with Noah having Shem, Ham, and Yefet/Japeth.
Going from Enosh, the son of Seth and grandson of Adam, we go up to another Enoch in the family tree, namely the son of Jared and grandson of Mahalalel.
We know those descendants of Adam had come to recognise the Divine Creator as their God to call upon His Name.
Elohim had blessed the human beings He had created and allowed them to have children. That way A’dham became the father “of a son” in his own likeness, “after” his own image. We were not told this about Cain and Abel simply because the text did not wish to discuss them at length.
In this chapter 5 Moses goes straight to the third son of Adam, Enosh. It is noted that from that time the people started to call upon the Name of Jehovah God.
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.
Ook al is Purim of Poerim voor ons geen Bijbels hoogtijdfeest zoals het ietsje later komende Pesach of Pascha op 14 Nisan en verdere hoogdagen dit jaar van 8-16 April, laten wij het toch niet na om er een hele gezellige boel van te maken in de familiekring zo wel als in de gemeenschap.
Ek staan vanoggend op en ek is lus om te blog. Dit is die eerste keer in ‘n baie lang tyd wat die behoefte net spontaan in my hart kom lê. Ek is bang en bly tegelykertyd. Ek weet nie waar hierdie jaar heen is nie. Ek kan nie veel onthou nie. Ek het ‘n […]
