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 Genesis 28:3 komen wij het woord lhq qahal tegen dat de Naardense Bijbel vertaald als een “vergadering van volkeren”. “God de Almachtige zal je zegenen, hij zal je vruchtbaar en talrijk maken; worden zul je tot een vergadering van volkeren!(-)” (Genesis 28:3 NB) “God, de Ontzagwekkende, moge je zegenen, je vruchtbaar maken en je […]
First, because many things in the Scriptures are attributed to the Holy Spirit that cannot apply to a divine person. And many of them cannot apply to any person at all. Some examples are that the Holy Spirit is given by God (Acts 5:32; 1 Jn 4:13) either according to measure or without measure (Eph […]
In the 1960ies we often heard it said that God was dead. Carl Ludwig Nietzsche, was appointed pastor at Röcken by order of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, after whom Friedrich Nietzsche was named. Before Friedrich Nietzsche’s fifth birthday his father died in 1849. He was left to live in a household consisting of […]
Tragically, the simple words “Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8) have been grossly misunderstood as meaning that Christ died instead of us. There are a number of connections between Romans 5 and 1 Cor. 15 (e.g. v. 12 = 1 Cor. 15:21; v. 17 = 1 Cor. 15:22). “Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8) is […]
“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Rom. 10:17) The Apostle Paul in this verse tells us that no one can believe unless they hear. In the same context, he also says that no one can hear unless “a preacher” is “sent.” (vss. 14,15) Thus, without question the “sent preacher” is […]
Documents of the Christian Church 2nd Ed 1963 Henery Bettenson (quotes from Arius and his followers) “If, said he, the Father begat the Son, he that was begotten had a beginning of existence; hence it is clear that there was a [a time] when the son was not.” “The Son of God is from what […]
Many who believe in the trinity are surprised to learn that the idea of divine beings existing as trinities or triads long predated Christianity. Yet the evidence is abundantly documented. So let us have a look at some of the evidence. Marie Sinclair, Countess of Caithness, in her 1876 book Old Truths in a New […]
Originally posted on malakhahavah: Steeds meer profileert Maarten Boudry zich als de Richard Dawkins van de lage landen, waarmee ik hem niet wil complementeren met zijn intellect, dat wil ik in het midden laten, maar wel wil bekritiseren op zijn dogmatische houding als atheïstische evangelist tegenover religie.

The reblog A Progressive Call to Arms caused several very different reactions. Pity some people did not want to react straight on the article and choose other, non public, ways.

In today’s reading we can read about those who did not hold certain teachings in Thyatira. In the reading of Isaiah 45 we also hear about false teachings, the folly of the “idols” humans make and “carry about … and keep praying to a god that cannot save” (verse 20). So many in these days, […]
