atmosphere at the European Parliament: General consternation.
Let us hope those who survived will not spend the rest of their life with physical or/and psychological consequences.
Using violence to get one’s way is never acceptable!
After Paris, Ankara, Istanbul, Ouagadougou, Abidjan or Garissa, it is now the turn of Belgium’s capital to be the victim of a murderous terrorist attack. The investigations are still running and therefore every information has to be handled with extreme care. But some things are known.
Concerning the explosions at the Zaventem airport in Brussels and the Maelbeek Metro Station: They have been triggered by Kamikazes. Two of them have been identified as being brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui. One of them blew himself up at the Airport and the other one at the station. Both of them were close to Salah Abdeslam, who was one of the main actors of the attacks in Paris, in which the brothers were probably also involved. They have helped Abdeslam to escape from the manhunt following the Paris attacks, which ended with Abdeslam finally getting arrested on March 19th. There…
A joint effort of several authors who do find that nobody can keep standing at the side and that “Everyone" must care about what is going on in today’s world.
We are a bunch of people who do not mind that somebody has a totally different idea but is willing to share the ideas with others and to be Active and willing to let others understand how "today’s decisions will influence the future”. Therefore we would love to see many others to "Act today".
In de Europese universiteiten vindt me de theologie als wetenschapsgebied in directe verbinding met concrete godsdienstige praktijken. Niet alleen in die zin dat die praktijken voorwerp van onderzoek kunnen zijn, maar zo dat de afgestudeerde theoloog bekwaam en geschikt zou zijn om in die praktijken een professionele leidinggevende rol te vervullen. Als die praktijken uit […]
Every generation has to undergo some turnovers on one or the other factor. What is to considered to be normal at one time in another generation can be “not done”. The last few years it seems like we are living in a society which wants to overcorrect itself. It wants to break with previous passages […]
Jeff Carreira notes that the world reveals itself to us in a stream of sensation. Man has to face a lot of things in his life; Growing up we always go from one (unexpected) situation onto another, always bringing new and other facts and facets. All the time we are confronted with lots of imprints, made […]
Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? God beloofde de Verlosser te zijn van wie geloven. In Genesis maakte Hij al duidelijk dat de mens betrokken is bij de tot standkoming van zijn verlossing: “En Ik zal vijandschap zetten tussen u en de vrouw, en tussen uw zaad en haar zaad; […]
Heeft de wetenschap al ooit kunnnen bewijzen dat God niet bestaat? In welke mate wil men alle moderne wetenschappelijke inzichten in de strijd gooien en/of zijn gezond verstand gebruiken en getuigenissen in de omgeving opnemen en deze met de Woorden uit de Heilige Schrift vergelijken?
In certain religious groups there are people who say one may not read philosophers their work. Many philosophers their thought have influenced lots of people. We always should remember that their thoughts are best read in context. In the context of the lives that they lived, the times that they lived in, and the history […]
All human beings are created in the image of God. This makes that we are or should be, all accepting the other as being allowed to be here by God and to be co-images of God and ourselves. The Divine Creator, Jehovah, the God above all gods, did not create more than one race. Of […]
De Verlosser uit de dood God heeft in Adam alle mensen onderworpen aan de dood. Want allen hebben zich door hun zonde met Adam verbonden, en delen in het vonnis dat God over hem uitsprak. Sindsdien worden wij allen door de dood gevangen gehouden. Niemand kan aan de dood ontkomen, en niemand kan zichzelf, een […]
Vele dingen kunnen niet zo dadelijk makkelijk bewezen worden, zoals het al of niet zijn van zwarte gaten of God, maar dat betekent niet dat deze niet zouden bestaan.
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. […]
“Als ik een nachtegaal was, dan zou ik zingen als een nachtegaal; als ik een zwaan was, als een zwaan. Maar omdat ik een rationeel wezen ben, is het mijn rol om God te prijzen.” ~ Epictetus
“Wees niet boos dat je anderen niet kan laten doen wat je hen wilt laten doen, omdat je ook jezelf niet kan maken zoals jezelf wenst te zijn.” ~ Thomas à Kempis
“We evalueren anderen met een aan God grenzende gerechtigheid, maar we willen dat zij ons evalueren met een aan God grenzende compassie.” ~ Sydney J. Harris
“Ik huilde door de schoonheid van uw hymnes en lofliederen, en was erg geroerd door het prachtige geluid van uw zingen in de kerk. Deze geluiden stroomden mijn oren binnen en de waarheid stroomde in mijn hart.” ~ St. Augustinus van Hippo.”
