I’ll carry on with more about my trip round China shortly. My blog follows a sort of ‘Reader’s Digest’ pattern of stories that start and stop mainly on themes of my faith in Christ, travel in places of the bible and other countries that interest me. This week I…
A. Amos Love searches for the the word “Church” in the Bible. Makes an interesting study. An interesting challenge. Print out every verse with the word “church” in it… Read every verse, over and over, again and… And ask yourself… Ask Jesus… In the Bible? Did any of ”His Disciples?” Ever? 1 – ”Go […]

My latest blog post for The Jewish Journal: After a bitterly divisive election season, there’s one question on everyone’s mind: “How can people possibly believe that?” What “that” is depends on who’s doing the talking. It means one thing to Trump supporters, something else to Clinton supporters, and who…
In this world there are lots of denominations in Christendom. Lots of Christians say that the non-trinitarian christians belong to cults or sects, but clearly than they forget what the characteristics of a sect or cult are. The many non-Trinitarians who found one or another denomination in which they go to meetings are all free […]

Since my childhood in the Old Roman Catholic Church I had been brought up with the Holy Name of God, though two versions of His Name were used: Jehovah (at that time written Yehowah or YHWH, later Jehovah and still later Jehovah or JHWH) and Yahweh (also later receiving the J for the Y and […]
In this ungodliness world we do find also several people who claim to be Christian but do not seem to worship the God of the Nazarene man Jeshua. They seem caught or tricked by human doctrines or do prefer to belong to the world and its traditions. We may find ourselves being surrounded by people […]

In de Volkskrant kwam de Iraans/Amerikaanse Reza Aslan aan het woord. Hij kreeg grote bekendheid in 2013 toen hij op Fox News geïnterviewd werd over zijn bestseller De zeloot – Het leven van Jezus van Nazareth en de geboorte van een religie. Presentator Lauren Green vroeg zich af waarom Aslan, een moslim, in hemelsnaam een boek zou […]
De Bijbel wijst God aan als de primaire ontstaansoorzaak van hoofdsoorten die ons universum kwamen te bevolken, zonder dat er veel over de manier waarop dingen tot stand zijn gekomen wordt gesproken, mits dat niet belangrijk is voor de bijbel maar wel over de rede.
In the last two postings we looked at the dangerous situation of one man wanting to control everything in the United States of America whilst he wants to do his own thing in the way he loves to do things and does not mind when foul play is at risk as long as he may […]
We know that Trump has been hiding many of his projects from the American public, and worse of it all, he kept insisting he barely knew the man at the centre of those projects. Though lots of Americans do not seem to see how this was serious deceit. Strange also that not many wonder why […]
Many may think we are set up for the ignorance defence, “I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong. I was only trying to Make America Great Again!” For months we must now tolerate the rarely random pranks of a fickle person and have a lot of patience, enduring the childlike attitude inconstancy of that person that […]

Dear readers, Apparently Donald Trump had a change of heart, yesterday. He has stopped unaccompanied minors being separated from their parents. How nice of him. He said he is showing his “compassion and big heart”. However, “compassionate” and “big-hearted” are never going to be two adjectives…

It looked to incredible to be true, so first I considered it “fake news“. After a few days hearing about incredible incidents and seeing unbelievable pictures I started wondering how it could be that the European Press only got to know about those horrible matters months after it had already started. That proofs that there […]
Every year thousands of children across the UK, India and East Africa run away or are forced to leave homes that have become unbearable through poverty, abuse, violence and neglect. This year, Railway Children celebrates 20 years of fighting for children alone and at risk on the streets. During that time, they’ve reached more than […]
Excerpt from Jonathan – The greatest king Israel never had by Jonathan Cope Jonathan, although being the firstborn son of the king, never reigned, and was, therefore, “the greatest king that Israel never had”. Of course, this isn’t strictly true. Jesus Christ was far, far greater than Jonathan – greater than all others. Although he […]
Europe is facing with a great problem of people trying to find a safer place, but some also to find a more economical nice place to live. Many refugees from Africa find their way into Europe along the shores of Italy and Greece. The new right wing Government are unashamedly targetting not only any darker […]
The latest issue of the magazine arrived from the printer on Wednesday June 27 and was dispatched the same day. This month we continue with our regular series, including “Unity in Ephesus”, “It’s about time” and “Jeremiah and the kings” (now concluded). There is also the second article in a two-part study on the important […]
When we are looking for some one for having a good or close relationship with, we can assure you the best one to have a good relationship with is the Most High Divine Creator God Who made it possible for you to be here in the first place. Having a relationship with Him is a […]
When wondered about a godhead and having come to the conclusion that there must be a Divine Creator or Supreme Being that surpasses all human and animal beings, we may question if it is possible for us to have a relationship with that Higher Being. What does it take to begin a relationship with God? […]
In March 2016 we created on Weebly a website to talk about man’s relationship with God. After we had done all the placing of pages and came to the contact form and placing of a Gravatar for the replies, we were brought to WordPress where we not only could choose a Gravatar but also got […]
Throughout history of mankind there have many groups of people who worshipped a triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity). Those people who worshipped such tri-une god all claim they only worship one deity. Such deities that are worshipped as one are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion. But the God of the Bible is clear about Which God has to be worshipped, not a more headed, be it an eightfold, three-une or bi-one god, but only the God of Abraham, Which is only One God of gods.
Find out in this article and its links how Jews, Christians and Muslims may have been influenced by the pagan gods and false teachings and how they have to separate them from such pagan teachings.
You may wonder if there really exist a God. You have all reason to question His existence and to check if you are feeling right or thinking the right way. We are even requested to examine our own faith. It is important to know what you want to believe, what you want to take for […]

At the European continent there are several descendants from saved Jews who either were brought up in another country and in an other religion by their war- or foster families, or could keep their faith but lost the knowledge of Hebrew. We also may find Jews who have found that Jeshua is the long awaited Messiah and are looking for a gathering of like-minded believers.
Being myself also a reflection of time and surroundings I introduce here my aims and hopes and give an idea which bible translations I shall be using and which track I would like to be following.
A call for Jews was made to hide signs of their faith following the assault of Adam Armush, a 21-year-old Israeli Arab who was violently attacked by a 19-year-old Muslim refugee in Berlin capital Tuesday the 17th of April. On Wednesday the 25th of April Germans showed their solidarity with Jews in a “Kippa Mars”. The ‘kippa march’ given as a sign Europeans do not want to see anti-semitism or any form of racism.
With the ban on kosher or halal slaughtering and with the ban of circumcision several politicians in Europe want to have certain religious people to leave these regions, but the real lovers of God do know that the Elohim has provided enough substances to survive and live healthy with vegetables and as such can live in a kosher and healthy way as veggie.
At the origin of man the Divine Creator provided a world full of plants useful as food. Man was not so happy with it and wanted more variation and meat. God allowed such things but warned them about the good and bad meat or fish. God also gave man mitzvoth so that they could measure their wrong goings and should have a guide for their life. In his effort to play for God man has tried to muddle with genes and to create new hybrids. The understanding on genes and genomes, and ways to manipulate them has given many scientists extreme ideas, tending to distort and exaggerate the results or waving away the possible dangers for the next generations of plants and animals. Different kinds of risks, real benefits, aims and control systems are complicated and genuine discussion between people with different backgrounds is essential and should have to think very cautiously, wondering if we are not going to far. Not only genetic manipulation but also transporting food all over the world and producing it on industrial level should worry us and should make us to take the proper choice to protect the environment. Let us not forget that the Elohim wants us to be healthy – inside and out, living in a healthy clean environment always to know that a person is that what he eats.
Presenting a website in defence of Non-Trinitarian groups and people who prefer to keep on Biblical doctrines and loving the Most High Only Supreme Highest Being, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah.
Mankind should know that people should make a choice and should have to come to a pure belief in line with God’s Wishes and not according human doctrines. Our first priority should be to please God, but all should know that without faith and by keeping to human and heathen traditions it is impossible to please God.
The apostle Paul has given all those who want to follow Jesus an exhortation, so that there should be no doubt how they have to behave and how they should all become united in the One Body of Christ.
According to a recent Pew Review Western Europeans who identify as Christian are more likely than those who have no religious affiliation to express negative feelings about immigrants and religious minorities. At the begin period of the 21st century there are still a large group of Christians who also consider themselves to be the rightful heirs of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Looking at themselves as the sole legitimate heirs of the biblical promises because the Jews rejected and killed the Messiah.
In this last chapter on Zionism, Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, Anti-Christianism we close by looking at the grown group who does not come directly from the ancient Hebrews and look at the fact that to come to a good solution we have to work at a genuine internationalism, and genuine international solidarity, with the knowledge that there can be no meaningful working together of ordinary people wherever tribalism or communalism dominates.
Tijdens een interview met Joods Actueel reageerde Wouter Van Besien, lijsttrekker van Groen in Antwerpen, op het stijgend antisemitisme in Europa. Hij weigert dit te erkennen als een probleem van de moslimgemeenschap of van de islam. “Dat is de kop in het zand steken”, aldus Michael Freilich, “door een probleem niet te durven benoemen, zal je de oorzaak ook nooit aanpakken”.
Meerdere Joden en Messiaansen hebben dezer dagen verkozen om zich op de achtergrond te houden om geen slachtoffer te worden van de aangroeiende Jodenhaat.
We believe that the truly special thing about Pesach is how it manages to be both traditional — we read the same story that our ancestors have been reciting for millennia — and personal, with each of us making the Seder our own by incorporating our own interpretations and interests into the timeless tale of […]
Wij geloven dat het echt speciale aan Pesach is hoe het erin slaagt om zowel traditioneel te zijn – we lezen hetzelfde verhaal dat onze voorouders al millennia reciteren – als persoonlijk, waarbij ieder van ons de Seder de onze maakt door onze eigen interpretaties en belangen op te nemen in het tijdloze verhaal van de […]
In Antwerpen zal er eindelijk werk moeten gemaakt worden voor een herdenkingsmonument (of “Namenmonument”) zoals dit reeds enkele jaren wordt gepland als waardige antwoord op de stolpersteine en het uitblijven van een waardige herinnering voor de vele holocaust slachtoffers.
We can look at the biblical authors as Witnesses for Jehovah God, the divine Creator of many universes, as people who were called to testify before humankind and in several occasions were even willing to give up their life for what they considered to be the truth.
In the Eastern and Western world, philosophy has spawned endless debates about the big life questions but showed that reason alone has not proved adequate to lead people to wide-spread agreement.
In the word there are many words going around, which makes us to decide which words we want to follow. There is the need to believe in the Maker of all things haven given His Word to mankind and considering it the truth. when the divine Maker is not a verity His word also can not be a reality and a truth. we look at the exclusive god between the many gods and how His word by coming from the Highest of all His Words should also be recognised as from the Highest and pure.
Only by a Most High Supreme Being that existed for ever causing everything to come into being, the being only can be a reality and as such to be a truth when that Eternal Causer, Provider and Most High Supreme Being is a realistic existing Thing or Personality. We must come to believe in Him and His Words calling for things to come in order from the chaos and His breath to be the life giving element.
Even when there may have taken an evolution over a long period of time, looking at the complexity of all things we should be in awe and have more faith in a Master-hand behind everything, coming to see that without this Master Creator or Godly Designer has provided for life and consciousness having made beings to come to be able to think, handle and talk like human beings do.
Being conscious that nothing can be the cause of itself we have to look for That What is responsible to have the beginning of something and What gives life into it. Not finding anything which could create itself from nothing we should come to see Who is behind the beginning of everything.
Ultimately we should conclude that there has to be a prime Beginning, or Something or Some One Who Causes, and that Causer we call the Creator is God.
