2024 a mega election year: reason to defend our democracies
2024 is a mega election year and the EU elections are taking place this week. This is the 2nd largest election in the world – around 350 million people are eligible to vote. Just like the elections in India and the USA this year – this one is very important for coexistence on our planet. […]
A month for a long despised community
Any gender variation outside of the male-female binary and any sexual practices and behaviours other than the culturally accepted relations between men and women were long considered deviant. But at the end of the 1960s some changes were caused by riots.
Could Trump go to prison
Now that a Manhattan jury has convicted Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the hush-money case, the immediate next question is: what punishment should the former US president receive? The crimes Trump has been found guilty of, falsifying business records in the first degree, are class E felonies in New […]
For the first time in U.S. history a former president found guilty of inadmissible offences

The case detailed hush-money […]

Pinky clothes and parking spaces
In the mid-19th century, pastel colours for baby clothing — including blue and pink — were introduced and they didn’t become sex-specific colours until the 20th century. Back before pastels were popular for babies, most parents dressed their kids in white dresses until they were about six. Historian Jo B. Paoletti says this outfit was […]

Why is June Gay Pride month?
It took such a long time before people of all sorts of sexual feelings could freely express themselves, and because acceptance of the differences is not yet generally accepted, that the month of June is chosen to bring this more to the attention.
Redheads and anaesthesia
Redheads, like my wife, have always fascinated me. Some can also be said to be strong and bold, not easily brought down. For those who want to grab redheads or stun them, they will have to use a bit more ‘anaesthetic’ than anyone else. Redheads require about 20 percent more anaesthesia than people with other […]

Relation between true self-knowledge and knowledge of the world
One can never reach true self-knowledge without having come to a knowledge of the world. We cannot come to a knowledge of the world without self-knowledge. Neither can we attain self-knowledge without a knowledge of the world. It is like the beating of a pendulum which must swing back and forth. […]

“De God van de hemel zal een koninkrijk oprichten – het Koninkrijk is bij u” Nog meer verzoekingen Na Jezus’ weigering een teken te geven, zijn de Joodse leiders woedend en proberen zij alles om een aanklacht tegen Jezus te vinden.

Fundamentele begrippen van het Kwaad: De satan in het Nieuwe Testament
De kwestie van het bovennatuurlijke Jezus Christus moest zijn werk doen onder een volk, dat behalve kennis van de wet allerlei ideeën en opvattingen had, die niet overeenkwamen met wat God hen had gezegd. Zo lezen we, bijvoorbeeld, zowel in de evangeliën als in Handelingen dat de partij van de Sadduceeën niet geloofde in de […]
Overtuigd worden door de Schriften
Over het algemeen wordt het Oude Testament onder christenen nogal verwaarloosd.

Alleen om bepaalde dogma’s te ‘bewijzen’ wordt het Oude Testament er nog […]

De komst van Elia #3 Komt Elia vóór de wederkomst?
Velen zaten met de vraag: Wie zou er eerst komen: Elia of de Messias; en was Johannes de doper misschien de teruggekeerde Elia?
De komst van Elia #2 De dag des Heren en Johannes de doper
Vervolg van De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia De dag des Heren Elia zou komen “voordat de grote en geduchte dag van God komt”. De uitdrukking “de dag des HEREN” betekent een tijd wanneer Jehovah Zich in de wereld zal manifesteren, gewoonlijk met oordeel. Zij is dus niet van toepassing alleen op […]
De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia
Elia wiens naam betekent ‘voor wie Jehovah God is’. In het Grieks en het Nieuwe Testament is de naam Elias. Hij was de grote profeet die door wonderen en tekenen geweldig ijverde voor de zaak van zijn Heer Jehovah Die hij aanzag als de Enige Ware God. Hij vertrouwde op de verhoring van zijn gebed en is een van de meest merkwaardige personen uit het Oude Testament.
Nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde
“Want zie, Ik schep een nieuwe hemel en een nieuwe aarde; aan wat vroeger was, zal niet gedacht worden. ” De eerste keer dat wij de uitdrukking “nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde” in het Nieuwe Testament tegenkomen is in de tweede brief van de apostel Petrus, waar hij waarschuwt voor het vergaan van “de […]

Foretold Messiah 5 Old Testament pointing to John the Baptist and to Immanuel, Jeshua the Christ
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
Foretold Messiah 4 From the seed of Noah and Abraham
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Foretold Messiah 3 Bruised one to be taken into heaven as a servant and son of God
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Foretold Messiah 2 a Voice giving The Word to His servants
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.

Uncovering wrong sayings and unbiblical teachings

Those grafted in again
The apostle Paul wrote about the dispersion, the dispersed House of Israel. They had been “without covenant“, but Paul was sent out to recover them. So they were “grafted in again“ (Romans 11/23). Or, Grafted back in“. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been […]
Cart ministry is back
Rob Mac wonders when the door to door will return? He wrote this a while back, and went sharing it again. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses hate the door to door ministry, although they won’t readily admit it. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses have developed ‘creative’ ways of counting their time doing this work, and many strategies for avoiding actually […]
Religion and believers #14 Church and state
Constantine wanted unity in his realm, and his call in 325 C.E. for a council of his bishops at Nicaea, located in the Eastern, Greek-speaking domain of his empire, across the Bosporus from the new city of Constantinople was in a certain way his goal to achieve some agreement by which many could live. Constantine […]
Religion and believers #13 Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred leading up to the Nicene Creed
Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred caused the Christians trouble for many generations, and governmental repression they had to suffer occasionally, as a result of popular disturbances. No systematic effort was made by the imperial authorities to put an end to the movement until the reign of the Roman emperor (249–251) who fought the Gothic invasion of […]
