Institutional conscientious objection may sound like an arcane bioethical issue, but it will be at the centre of fierce political debates in coming years. As more and more jurisdictions legalise procedures like abortion and euthanasia, some hospitals and clinics, mostly Catholic, will refuse to provide facilities. Governments will try to force them to participate – […]

Jehová Dios Fuente y Dador de Vida Esperamos que los candidatos al bautismo sean conscientes de que se nos está dando vida porque el Único Dios Verdadero nos da la oportunidad de estar aquí en la tierra. Es a través de Él que vivimos, nos movemos y podemos realizar las cosas. “Yo hice la […]
Jehova Gott Quelle und Geber des Lebens Wir erwarten von Taufkandidaten, dass sie sich bewusst werden, dass uns Leben geschenkt wird, weil der einzig wahre Gott uns die Möglichkeit gibt, hier auf Erden zu sein. Durch Ihn leben und bewegen wir uns und können Dinge verwirklichen. “Ich habe durch meine große Kraft und meinen […]
Jehovah God Bron en Gewer van die Lewe Ons verwag dat doopkandidate bewus sal wees daarvan dat ons lewe gegee word, want die enigste Ware God gee ons die geleentheid om hier op aarde te wees. Dit is deur Hom dat ons leef en beweeg en dinge kan besef. “Deur my groot krag en […]

Sobre la espera de nuevos bautismos En nuestra ecclesia de Anderlecht, algunos nuevos miembros serán bautizados dentro de unas semanas. Antes de que se bauticen, primero comprobaremos si están de acuerdo con los puntos bíblicos de la fe. Esto se debe a que hay muchas denominaciones que en realidad no siguen esos pensamientos bíblicos y, […]
Über die Vorfreude auf neue Taufen Hier wurde ein erster Artikel über die wesentlichen Kenntnisse für eine Taufe veröffentlicht.

Wag op die komende doopfasiliteit Sommige nuwe lede sal binne ‘n paar weke in ons ecclesia in Anderlecht gedoop word. Voordat hulle gedoop word, sal eers bepaal word of hulle met die Bybelse of noodsaaklike oortuigings saamstem. Daar is baie denominasies wat nie eintlik daardie Bybelse gedagtes volg nie en daarom is dit belangrik om […]

The Times, January 24, 2024 Event Two cargo ships sailing close to the Gulf of Aden came under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Wednesday night, the White House said — forcing the US navy to intervene as the Iran-backed militia intensified its maritime assault on commercial shipping. Houthi forces fired three anti-ship ballistic […]
The Independent, January 19, 2024 Event It is hard to escape the impression of a theatre of military conflict that is inexorably growing – to the east and the south, if not yet to the north and the west. And if you look backwards, rather than forwards, the Hamas massacres of Israelis on 7 October, and Israel’s all-out […]
VOA, January 12, 2024 Event Thursday’s retaliatory attacks by U.S. and British forces on Iranian-backed Houthis inside Yemen have prompted support and condemnation from the international community.

The Times, January 12, 2024 Event Explosions were heard across Yemen late on Thursday night as British and US forces launched strikes on Houthi targets, after the Iranian-backed group ignored warnings to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.

People have drawn up many rules, but we as Christians must first and foremost put the rules or commandments of God first.
Last Saturday we mentioned the adjusted planning for our ecclesiae in Belgium, brother Marcus normally to be operated on Monday April 22, so not available for the Passover services.

Das Jahr 2023 endete für viele von uns mit einem wunderschön erholsamen Finale, in der Bibelschule in Neustadt.

Wir konnten das Jahr mit dem Wort Gottes ausklingen lassen. Als […]
Man sagt, dass es immer einen Silberstreifen am sonst düsteren Horizont gibt.

Im April 2023 waren Bruder […]
Reuters, April 4, 2024 Event Russia and NATO are now in “direct confrontation”, the Kremlin said as the U.S.-led alliance marked its 75th anniversary on Thursday. NATO‘s successive waves of eastern enlargement are a fixation of President Vladimir Putin, who went to war in Ukraine two years ago with the stated aim of preventing the […]
The Times, February 23 , 2024 Event Israel wants operational freedom throughout Gaza “without a time limit” as part of its postwar plan for the territory, Binyamin Netanyahu has told his war cabinet.

Arab News, February 15, 2024 Event Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip has spilled over into neighboring countries and sent shockwaves across the wider region, transforming Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen into battlefields in an escalating proxy war between the US and Iran.

Washington Post, January 27, 2024 Event The International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to do more to prevent the killing of civilians in Gaza but did not call for a cease-fire, disappointing Palestinians who had hoped the court would endorse their pleas for immediate relief from the violence. At a closely watched hearing […]
Een kijk op de alsmaar ouder wordende uiterlijke mens en een vernieuwd lichaam.
Het getuigenis van de apostelen De geschriften van het Nieuwe Testament laten geen ruimte voor het geloof dat niet God maar Christus de Schepper was. De apostel Johannes beschrijft in het boek Openbaring een hoogst symbolisch gezicht dat hij op het eiland Patmos had gezien. “Er stond een troon in de hemel en iemand was […]
Het geloof van de eerste gemeente Het is heilzaam deze ontwikkeling in de gemeenten in de heidenwereld te beschouwen vanuit het gezichtspunt van de eerste volgelingen van Christus in de eerste dagen van zijn gemeente in Israël. Zo filosofisch gezind als de Grieken waren ze helemaal niet. Zij waren gewoon van kindsbeen af zich toe […]
In de Griekse stad Athene, waar de altaren van een menigte góden te be zichtigen waren en een kakofonie van filosofen te beluisteren was, klonk Paulus’ verkondiging van de levende God als een heldere klaroenstoot. “God, die de wereld gemaakt heeft en al wat daarin is, die een Heer is van hemel en aarde… daar […]
Wanneer de discipelen van Johannes de Doper bezorgd bij hem komen met het bericht: “Rabbi, die met u was aan de overzijde van de Jordaan en van wie gij getuigd hebt, zie, die doopt en allen gaan tot Hem” laat Johannes hun in zijn antwoord zien dat dit alleen maar verheugend is. Hijzelf was de […]
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Looking at the world, being sad, noticing that so many people are misled by big institutions that claim to be the only right church, whilst they do not follow at all the Bible teachings, nor Christ his teachings and do […]
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.
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.
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.
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.
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? In Christendom there are lots of denominations but oh such a few, keep really to the biblical teachings. A lot of churches claim they are the only right church. In case they would follow all the teachings of Christ Jesus, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

“Situaties en personen komen bij ons zoals het licht dat we erop schijnen vanuit onze gedachten. Hoe onbewust oordelen we anderen door het licht dat in ons is, veroordelen of keuren hen door ons begrip van wat goed en fout is, eerbaar en oneerbaar! We laten gewoon ons oordeel gelden door het licht wat in ons is.”
– Laura Ingalls Wilder

Originally it was “Marcus Space” but I was corrected about it when it would have to mean “the space of Marcus Ampe” that it should have an ” ‘s” added being “Marcus his space”.
Your thought is welcome, because I would love to know how it best would be. Before I changed it from Marcus Space I had done some search about the grammatical rules. Though not a linguist and not knowing the English language properly, having also to decide to take the UK, American or Australian English I chose the English from the United Kingdom (my mother having been born there and having lived there as well)
Looking at the Possessive adjective, personal and other pronouns in the Practical English Grammar edition of 1960/1969,impression of 1976 it is written it should be Mary’s father, when it is the father of Mary and Marcus’s blog when it is the blog of Marcus.
I am called Marcus and not Marcu, so according to what I understand of the grammatical rules explained in my old grammar book, from the period I had to teach in England (not language but a.o. history), I thought I should use the apostrophe s denoting “my space” is the space of Marcus Ampe = Marcus his space => Marcus’s Space.
I do know lots of things have been changed in Dutch, French and German, the languages spoken in Belgium where I live know and in 1999 I had a very serious car accident which made I lost my memory and lots of my knowledge and ability to speak several languages. But I want to continue to learn and where there is something wrong I would like to correct it.
So I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me please.
Thanks for taking the interest for visiting my blog and for willing to comment on it.
God bless.
