Regularly we are asked if we really believe all those things we preach about.

Undeniably, it may seem strange to many that we are rock-solidly convinced that there is only one True Divine Creator who created everything, the visible and invisible.
That belief in That One True God is our hold on all the other points of faith in our lives.

Namely, our second point of faith is our trust in the 66 scrolls, which constitute the Bible, and which we behold as the delivered Word of God.

We are absolutely certain that the predictions in that compilation work will all come true.
Relying on what that book says about life and death and what we can perceive, we are convinced that we are all mortal. Thus, in our time, none of us can escape death. All of us will face that termination of our (precious) lives one day or another.
We are also sure that those dead cannot do anything for us. If someone dies, it’s just done with that person. With everything that person will have been allowed to accumulate in his or her life, that dead person will no longer be able to do anything.

But as a fourth point, we should cite that we have several certainties in our lives that may make us optimistic.
For instance, there is the main belief point that there will be a more peaceful world, where there will be no more injustice, bickering, pain or suffering at all.

We firmly believe that God is a God of love who is not at all served by how things are in the world today. He therefore has a better plan for all of us and looks forward to that Time of the End.

Even though the beginning of those end times will not be so fun, for it will be accompanied by a hugely terrible battle or Great World War, we realise that that will only be a transitional phase, after which we will welcome the returned Jesus Christ with open arms.

We are convinced that already at the Fall in Earthly Paradise, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah, the One True God, has already provided a solution against that Fall and curse of death.

That provision, we believe, came from the tribe of David and was the Nazarene teacher Jeshua ben Joseph, better known as Jesus Christ.
He is the only human being who succeeded in doing the full Will of God all his life.

We firmly believe that God has accepted his offering, namely his offering of his whole body as a ransom offering, and that that Nazarene has ransomed us from sin.
We can now go free and approach God as children of His.

But we are also convinced that we must now live righteously under those conditions and faithfully keep the commandments of God.

For, after the Great Final Battle that is yet to come, all the living, as well as the dead, will be called to appear before the throne of Jesus Christ, to be judged according to the deeds and thoughts performed.

The great thing that is reserved for those faithful to God is that they will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of God and will be there able to live endlessly without any worries, struggles or pain.

Who has believed

Today we may see a dark world, not many people having interest in spiritual and religious matters.

We may be pleased that there can be found several people who go around preaching. Though on the streets of Belgium we see less Jehovah Witnesses than some years ago. Their presence in public has been greatly reduced. They, and we, were and are preachers of the Good News who continuously try to show people that Jesus is the way to God. Confronted with those to whom we talk and write, we can only notice to our regret that there are not many who want to believe our message.

We are aware that it is God Who is calling people to come to Him. But we wonder how many people do want to hear His Voice. To whom has the arm of the Most High God of gods been revealed?

We go many places and have several publications on the Worldwide Web as well as in paperwork or in printed matter. Everywhere we talk about the special one, a son of man who grew up before God like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.
We try to convince people that that sent one from God had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, even nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. But who wants to believe in such figure and hear our message?

“1  Who hath believed {1 } our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed? {1)

Or that which we have heard }

2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; {1 } and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. {1) Or that we should look upon him; nor beauty etc }

3 He was despised, and {1 } rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with {2 } grief: and {3 } as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. {1) Or forsaken 2) Heb sickness 3) Or he hid as it were his face from us }

4  Surely he hath borne our {1 } griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. {1) Heb sicknesses }5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isa 53:1-5 ASV)

We still live in days that people reject that man who was been spoken off so much. We only can see that Truth has fallen on hard times. Not many do have ears to the Biblical truth, the same as we find today lots of people preferring to present themselves differently than they are in real life; They also prefer following so called ‘friends’ on social media who love to spread false or fake news.

Problem today is also that more and more people come cross with those who believe in God, being them Jews, Christians or Muslims. Everywhere we can find such satans or adversaries of God who bombard those lovers of God with lies every day. The danger is that the adversaries of God become more tricky and manage to present carefully crafted lies. Because they are in the majority its easier for them to deceive those who are pushed in the corner.

Truth has stumbled in the streets for many centuries. Always it has been very difficult for honesty and clear truth to enter. Already in the prophet Isaiah his time truth was nowhere to be found. In his time those who tried to live according to God’s Will and whoever shunned evil became a prey.

“14 And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. 15 Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.” (Isa 59:14-15 ASV)

We may find lots of people who have made Jesus into their god, not seeing that their three gods are than so different from each other that those trinitarians should really be called polytheists.

We try to convince them that God is an All-knowing Being, whilst Jesus was some one who had to learn everything and did not know important matters, like when the end-times would come, or who would be seated next to him in his kingdom and in the Kingdom of his heavenly Father. We try to convince them that Jesus is the way to God, and that they should prepare themselves for the unknown day that he would return as a thief in the night (Revelation 16:15); but to no avail.

“ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but {1 } by me. {1) Or through } (Joh 14:6 ASV)

We are convinced more people should come to know that it is only possible to come to God by following His son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah. but how long shall it take before people shall come to see and understand the difference between

“the son of God” and “god the son”?

How long shall it take for the world before it shall come to accept that Jesus is that prophet spoken about in the many books from the Hebrew Bible?

How long shall people despise what the son of man really did, by not wanting to see how he put his own will aside to do the Will of his heavenly Father? How long is the world to reject that man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief?

Lots of people turned their backs on him that was willing to do the Will of God, instead of his own will.

“ saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Lu 22:42 ASV)

Clearly we can find in the Scriptures that Jesus says

“not my will”

indicating it is not what Jesus wants but Jesus giving himself to the Will of his heavenly Father, Who he considers also his God, Whose Will we should also do and Whose Will should be done on earth as it is in heaven.

“ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.” (Mt 6:10 ASV)

As lovers of God we can only hope and look forward to that time that the Will of God shall come to be fulfilled.

In accepting Jesus as God His son, we by faith in him that was sent by God, we are allowed to live by hope, having received the example of a real man standing out off the dead, which we would not have had when Jesus would be God (because then there still would be no proof at all that man can come out of death).

We should step away form the distorted data and all those human doctrines. for many that would not be so easy,because they have been for years brought up with those false teachings. for them a new world has to go open. One which they shall find be liberating, because being caught up by all those human teachings which are not really there in the bible, they shall find lots of freedom.

Many who are against those who preach the Good News do forget that they are the ones who try to communicate the truth in love. Out of love for the other, they go around warning for what might come sooner, or later, than we think.

As bringers of the Biblical words we want to promote informed and mature reflection. You do not have to take our words for the truth. You may question and doubt us. What we ask is

try to take the words in the bible for what they stand, for what there is really written

Do not think “God” when there stands “Jesus”. Do not think “God the son” when there is written “the son of God”.

We only ask you to come to read what there is really written, so that your eyes may come to see what is really written in the Bible. Do not think the Bilbie is to difficult to understand yourself. Believe in it. Believe that God has given His Word to everybody, so that every human being shall be able to hear the Words of God and come to understand them.

The communication of that Book of books shall not fall short. In it you may find the best guide to your life.

the only thing that we want is:

That you keep your eyes focused on the Biblical Truth

and that you believe in the sent one from God who declared his heavenly Father greater than himself. It is that son of man who now has gone back to his heavenly Father, Who declared Jesus to be His only begotten beloved son.

“ Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.” (Joh 14:28 ASV)

“21  Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 23 And Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,” (Lu 3:21-23 ASV)

When having found faith through the study of the Bible we do need to do works of faith

When we have found the Word of God and started reading the Bible with an open mind, letting the words come to us like they are written, it shall transform our inner self, if we allow it to do that.

When we do come into the faith, believing in One God and believing in His only begotten son, to be the sent one from God and the Messiah, our saviour, we shall have to take actions. We shall not be able to continue to live like we did before.

Faith demands action. Faith demands works.

We do know that there are lots of pastors who say contrary, but be aware that rabbi Jeshua taught his followers to be prudent and to be alert, doing the right things are otherwise they could miss the opportunity to enter God’s Kingdom.

It is true that we have received the free Gift of the Grace of God by the Blood of Christ. But it is not because we are giving a whitewashing of sins by the ransom offer of Christ Jesus, that we can do whatever we want. No. Once we come into the faith we shall have to do the works of faith. In case we do not do those works of the Law our faith shall be like a dead faith, not bringing us far.

When from our bible reading we got to see that Jesus is the Way and that we have to become one like he is one with God we shall have to work on ourselves to become like Jesus. It shall take many works to come in Christ and becoming “a new creation“. Than the old person has to be set aside and a new person has to take you over, like you are reborn in this system of things, you not any more being of the world but being of God.

Thanks to the sent one from God and God accepting Jesus his offering as a payment for sins, salvation has come over us. But when becoming a Christian we are at a new starting point, saved from the curse of death. This we have to keep so, which shall demand lots of works, keeping ourselves under control.

God reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Given a free way now we have to keep our good relationship with This Divine Creator and with His son. That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them does not give us now a free way to continue sinning.  God has committed to us the message of reconciliation.  Therefore we have to be Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us.  Jesus asked his disciples to go out into the world and to proclaim the Gospel message of the coming Kingdom of God. This is a very important work we do have to do. This we only can do properly when we live according to what we preach.

We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God and start doing the works of faith.

Let us have a look at what the Bible itself says about Faith and Works.

“17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, {1} [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. {1) Or, there is [a new creation]} 18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having {1} committed unto us the word of reconciliation. {1) Or [placed in us]}

20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-20 ASV)

“3 For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; 4 that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; 6 that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 8 Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.

9  But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another; 10 for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more; 11 and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you; 12 that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3-12 ASV)

“2  Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. 9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate: 10 and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.” (James 1:2-10 ASV)

“12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him.

13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: 14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:12-15 ASV)

“19  Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. 23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. 26 If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:19-27 ASV)

“1  My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; 3 and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool; 4 do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?” (James 2:1-4 ASV)

“8  Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: 9 but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12 So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty. 13 For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

14  What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

18 Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith.

19 Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; 23 and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

24 Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

25 And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.” (James 2:8-26 ASV)

“13  Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.” (James 3:13-18 ASV)

“1  Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures.

4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.

5 Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded.

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.

11  Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 One [only] is the lawgiver and judge, [even] he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?” (James 4:1-12 ASV)

“7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 10 Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:7-10 ASV)

“12  But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.

14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.” (James 5:12-16 ASV)

“19 My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.” (James 5:19-20 ASV)
