“Be still for just a moment and listen
to the symphony of breath
that fills every moment
with the exquisite pleasure
of being Alive Now. Life is breathing.
Listen….listen”

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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Het zal de meeste krantenlezers ontgaan zijn, maar wie de technische pers volgt, weet dat er al enkele jaren een race aan de gang is om het hoogste gebouw ter wereld te bezitten. Wij zijn ver weg van “Het Witte Huis” in Rotterdam dat rond 1900 met haar 43 meter hoogte het hoogste gebouw van […]

The new Atheists quote Sigmund Freud, that God is a ‘wish fulfillment; a fictional father figure projected in the sky of our imagination and created by our desire for security.’ On this view, Heaven is an imaginary projection of our extinction and death. And religion is…

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). Anyone that says science has “proved” so and so in their discussions does not really understand…

A. Amos Love searches for the the word “Church” in the Bible. Makes an interesting study. An interesting challenge.

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 […]
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 […]

Het is mij gekend dat ik al jaren een verstrooide professor ben. Daarom zei ik wel eens aan mijn leerlingen dat ik een velkoolde plofessol was. Voor ik op pensioen ging heb ik mijn dansarchief over gemaakt aan het Vlaams Theater Instituut. Dat maakt dat ik eigenlijk niets meer heb om opzoekingswerk over dans te […]
Looking at what got me more quiet or not going deeper in American and other politics the last few months, I got distracted by a snuff in power and got to spend more words at him than originally planned. In the Spring I got an inflamed small brain resulting not enough oxygen going to my […]
In the academic year 2017-2018 I noticed in the past I had forgotten to publish several articles. The last few months I have been very busy with spiritual and religious work and did not use much time to do concentrate and react to the worldly matters. Certainly because in the United States of America such […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
De mensheid heeft van zijn hemelse Maker de mogelijkheid gekregen om te vallen onder Zijn Beloften van Redding. Maar ieder individu zal voor zichzelf de keuze voor de aanvaarding van die genadegave moeten maken.
Wij heten u van harte welkom op deze website. Als Jeshuaisten (of Jesjoeaansen) getuigen wij dat wij volgers van Jeshua zijn (of Jesjoea in vele kringen beter gekend als Jesus of Jezus Christus). Niet alleen volgen wij zijn leerstellingen, maar wij houden er ook aan de opdracht die hij zijn volgelingen gaf ook te vervullen. […]
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.
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.
De Goddelijke Schepper wandelt samen met Zijn creaties en op moeilijke ogenblikken voor de mens is Hij bereid deze verder te dragen en in veiligheid te brengen.
Het leven is een gebeurtenis van constant leren. Het vergt een openheid en bereidwilligheid om te willen zien. De Bore heeft een Metgezel voor de mens voorzien die mee de woorden draagt van Hem die hem gezonden heeft, en die leven kunnen geven.
Als men op een grote reis wil gaan zal men eerst die reis voorbereiden en daarvoor de beste gids zoeken, maar het kan ook zijn dat men het aangenamer zal vinden om medereizigers en een goed gezelschap voor onder weg zal waarderen. Samen kan men namelijk veel meer verwezenlijken en elkaar aanmoedigen de juiste wegen te blijven bewandelen met goede moed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
