Fundamenten van geloof 3: De Persoonlijkheid van God
Wanneer het voor ons eenmaal vaststaat dat er een Schepper is van alle leven, dan komt de vraag: ‘Wie is Hij dan?’ We hebben gezien dat Hij ‘een beloner is voor wie Hem ernstig zoeken’. Dit houdt noodzakelijkerwijs in dat Hij ieder mens moet zien en horen om te weten wie Hem ernstig zoeken. Het […]
Schepping, intelligent design, evolutie (3) – Godsbewijzen van heidense filosofen en horlogemakers
In deze aflevering wil ik eerst een zijweg inslaan, voordat we verder gaan met ‘Intelligent Design’. Aan de basis van deze hele discussie ligt namelijk de vraag of God bestaat. En die discussie hoort hier niet thuis! Thomas van Aquino In de 13e eeuw kwam Thomas van Aquino met zijn vijf ‘godsbewijzen’, filosofisch opgezette bewijzen, […]
Kler the Polish Spotlight on Poland’s Clergy Sexual Abuse
The oh so Catholic Poland now begins for many years later than our country to feel the consequences of the wrong attitude of the Catholic Church towards priests who abused young people. New research shows that church attendance starts going down very quickly now. The Polish church also for the first time has to pay […]
Fundamenten van het Geloof 2: De levende en waarachtige God
Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? De levende en waarachtige God Geloof richt zich op het niet-waarneembare, wetenschap houdt zich bezig met het aantoonbare. Dat er geen wetenschappelijk bewijs zou zijn voor het bestaan van God, wil nog niet zeggen dat Hij niet bestaat. God bestaat niet omdat wij dat […]
Schepping, intelligent design, evolutie – Ontstaan en ontwikkeling van het leven op aarde (2)
Bijbel en Wetenschap – Geloof en onderzoek – een wetenschappelijke benadering We hebben in het eerste deel van dit artikel al even gekeken naar de vermeende tegenstelling tussen schepping en evolutie, en daarbij geconstateerd dat het ene gaat over ontstaan en het andere over ontwikkeling. Maar wat zijn dan toch de punten die veel christenen […]
Torens waarvan de top tot in de hemel reikt

Originally posted on Panoptic Discourse:
One of the common misconceptions of science (that even those with science degrees fall prey to) is the idea of a “scientific proof.” Science is not in the business of “proving” theories (or laws).

Readiness to believe anything – ignorance and conviction
It is not perhaps without good reason that we attribute to simple-mindedness a readiness to believe anything and to ignorance the readiness to be convinced, for I think I was once taught that a belief is like an impression stamped on our soul. – Michel de Montaigne Preceding: Interpretation Next: Looking at Lord of Montaigne […]
Looking at Lord of Montaigne – ancient and present words
When looking at words from the past, we often forget that they still can matter in the present day or in the future. Michel Eyquem de Montaigne or Lord of Montaigne may have been looked at as a self-indulgent person. One can wonder what would be wrong to appease oneself or to look for satiation […]

A view in the past and a blusterer making me afraid to spend words on him

Certainly because in the United States of America such […]

Video How the Biblical Canon Was Formed
In the previous chapters we have seen that for thousand years God choose pepole to guide those who were willing to listen to the men of God. In many regions and cultures seeds were sawn making it possible that the Word of God went from one place to an other. Depending on the group of […]
The Canon of Scripture
The people of God, the Israelites had their ancient writings. For them the writings of the prophets were set-apart or holy. As the years went by several books where added and got to be known as the Hebrew Scriptures or the Tanakh or Tenakh. From the time after Jeshua’s death (later on in the first […]
The Bible: is it contradictory?
In the previous chapters you could read how in this world many (Christian) denominations came to exist one next to the other. We have a thousandfold of churches from which many claiming they are the only one true church or claiming that only when you become a member of their church you shall come into […]
Bible Reading: is it worthwhile?
In the previous chapter we have seen that in Christianity came different movements, having the main churches gone far away from the Biblical Truth, always bringing contra-movements or groups doing their best to search in the Bible for the biblical Truth. The reaction by protestants against the Roman Catholic Church brought at first the bible […]
Different wineskins
From the days of Jeshua (Christ Jesus) there were people who wanted to follow that master teacher, whilst others were interested in some points but did not like other points and as such preferred to keep to other teachings and traditions also. Jeshua had asked those who he had chosen to become his disciples, what […]

When there is a relationship with God there is a possibility to grow

When there is a God is it possible to relate to Him
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? […]

Tri-union gods and Pagan, Christian, Muslim and Jewish views on the Creator God
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.
Can you question the existence of God
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 […]

About The story of Creation 4 State of things at the time when God first spoke
The narrative of the Biblical creation story is the idea of ordering that is the result of divine intent. It is a fundamental biblical teaching that the original, divinely ordained order in the physical world has its counterpart in the divinely ordained universal moral order to which the human race is subject.
About The story of Creation 3 Nothingness, chaos, order and divine intelligence
By the different peoples of the world we can find very similar myths in an effort to explain the beginning, of everything from nothing, by a divine intelligence or a Source of life.
About The story of Creation 2 Genesis narrative
Giving verbal expression to explain that which is outside any model of human experience without obscuring the enduring meaning of the text of the scrolls, showing a One self-sufficient, self-existing and transcendent Being outside of nature.
About The story of Creation 1 Existing cosmologies
Mankind has always looked for an understanding concerning the existence of things. They imagined divine powers bringing all those things a life or causing things.

Interpretatie van het merkteken van Kaïn
Omtrent het merkteken dat Kaïn meekreeg zijn er door de jaren heen heel wat verschillende meningen gegeven, waarbij sommigen dienden om bepaalde leerstellingen te verantwoorden, zoals o.a. rassendiscriminatie en slavernij.

Onderweg delen van vreugde
De negende en laatste dag van Soekot is het Simchat Thora (ook: Simhat Torah). Op Simchat Thora is de jaarlijkse lezing van de gehele Thora compleet en zijn wij op het punt gekomen om de jaarcyclus weer aan te vangen met dankbaarheid en vreugde voor het van God gekregen Woord en Regelgeving.
Op weg naar het eindstation
Als mens kennen wij voor alles een begin en einde. Ook in de Heilige Geschriften staat er geschreven over verschillende tijden waarbij een waarschuwing wordt gegeven voor de zwaarste en moeilijkste periode van de eindtijd, wanneer er een eind gaat komen aan de menselijke heerschappij, die onder invloed is van de boze.

Samen kan men namelijk veel meer verwezenlijken en elkaar aanmoedigen de juiste wegen te blijven bewandelen met goede moed.

A Book to trust #25 Perils of unbelief
When men let their faith and confidence in the credibility of the Word of God get away from them, there is danger of lowering their ethical standard. A tottering faith in the Bible narratives shall bring morality to be unstable and to stagger also. When there is a rejection of the integrity of the Old Testament narratives there shall be no vibration to come to see the truth of this life and the person shall move or sway unsteadily or unsure in this materialist world were more and more people are moving away from God and are having their egoism being the base of their life disturbing their relationships, making them unstable.
A Book to trust #24 Sopherim, calligraphers and a message of love and hope
Narrations and stories about men, women and peoples are delivered to mankind to bring a message of love and hope and we can see that by the centuries that passed, not much is changed to the words of those written documents or books and copied by many scribes who were serious about bringing over the right words.
As the system announced in the Scriptures rests exclusively on the ground of being from Divine revelation, one might suppose that the deists and sceptics together with their coadjutors the rationalists, in thus rejecting the absolute foundation of Scripture revelation, need not give themselves any further trouble of “criticizing them.”
The credibility of the declarations of the prophets, Jesus and his disciples is greatly corroborated and rendered in a high degree probable.
It will appear unwarrantable to charge men so far surpassing the best and most learned teachers of their age, with such a degree of enthusiasm or villainy, as must be ascribed to them, if their pretensions to a divine influence were either a delusion or in imposture.
A Book to trust #23 Comparing Ancient Biblical Manuscripts
The 5 books known as the Megilot (the Scrolls) were booked together in the Leningrad Codex of 1008 in a historical order. Nevertheless, their appearance usually follows the order of the liturgical calendar. Subsequent editions of Biblica Hebraica edited by Paul Kahle and Rudolf Kittel.
A Book to trust #22 Confirmed writings and Tampered books
Contrary to the sayings of KJV-only people, God has given His Word to all people in whatever language they speak and for eternally shedding light on His righteousness and honesty, His Word never telling lies. The Supreme Power also enables us to compare His Word like we can find it in print these days, with the ancient writings and original manuscripts which have been discovered by archaeologists after the 17th century.
A Book to trust #21 Biblical hermeneutics and Keys to truth
KJV-only people often forget that in the many Bible Translation committees, all over the world, can be found many serious honest people who like to do justice to the Word of God. Several brainstormers from all sorts of religious groups often work together as a team to sit down to do some good bible hermeneutics for getting the best contemporary words placed in good readable and understandable phrases.
