Added: 2014-12-23 15:04:17 New Heavens And New Earth.pdf These two are very widely misunderstood eschatological concepts, because of error in the understanding of so many preachers, teachers and authors. The article tries to explain the true context of these concepts and why we understand them to be fulfilled. Added: 2015-02-03 11:28:56 New Jerusalem.pdf Another eschatological concept that is very misunderstood.

Added: 2016-10-10 08:41:48 Should women remain silent in the gatherings.pdf A look at two problematic portions of Scripture from Paul's letters to the Corinthians and Timothy.

> Basic Framework of Understanding Die Bybel God se Woord.pdf Antwoord op 'n agnostikus se vraag of die skrywer die Bybel as God se woord beskou. Die artikel neem in ag dat jong mense vandag onder toenemende druk van die wêreld se antichrisgees kom om hul rug op die Bybel en Christenskap te draai. Daar word met realisme gekyk na die Bybel as die openbaring van God aan die mensdom. Added: 2015-04-26 13:24:21 Geloofstandpunte.pdf Ek word dikwels uitgevra oor my die inhoud van my geloof in Jesus Christus, ook deur groepe wat bekend is as Torahbehoudend of Heilige Naam Alleengroepe.

Added: 2015-11-30 11:26:24 Statement of Faith.pdf I am often asked about the content of my faith in Christ Jesus, including from within groups who are known as Torah Observant or Sacred Name Only groups.

> Bible Study Tools Timeline of New Testament Books.pdf The Books of the New Testament do not appear in the historical sequence in which they had been written. Paul's letters, for example, appear from the longest (Romans) to the shortest (Philemon).

Biblical Hebrew Culture and Hebraic thought.pdf Brief overview of important characteristics of the Hebrew language and culture for clear Bible interpretation. Added: 2014-11-23 11:19:44 Email document
Back to Basics.pdf Is it not ironic that when the achievements of a sports team declines, everybody seems to shout: Back to Basics!? But not so with knowledge of the biblical record - back to the basics never seems to be an option! Instead, we continue to be confronted by more and more spiritual philosophising, or by some long drawn out argumentation on whether or not to accept and adopt some religious-political confession. This article discusses the urgent need of the hour to return to biblical accuracy in our understanding. Added: 2015-11-20 08:36:19 Email document
Terug na basiese dinge.pdf Is dit nie ironies nie, dat wanneer 'n sportspan se prestasies afneem, almal oënskynlik skreeu: Terug na die basiese dinge toe? Maar dit gebeur nie by kennis van die Bybelrekord nie - terug na die basiese dinge toe is skynbaar nooit 'n opsie nie! Ons word eerder deurgaans gekonfronteer met meer en meer geestelike filosofering of lang argumentasies om die een of ander godsdienstig-politieke belydenis te aanvaar. In hierdie artikel word die dringende noodsaaklikheid bespreek om terug te keer na absolute akkuraatheid in ons verstaan van die Bybel. Added: 2015-11-24 08:41:06 Email document

Bybelraamwerk.pdf Kort begrip van ons verstaan van die Bybel as vervulde boek van Genesis tot Openbaring, en openbaring van God aan die hedendaagse mens. Added: 2017-02-17 07:52:18 Email document
Bible Framework Improvements.pdf Brief description of our understanding of the biblical record as a fulfilled book from Genesis to Revelation, revealing God to humanity living today. Added: 2017-02-17 18:00:23 Email document
Christene en die Wet van Moses.pdf Torahbehoudende groepe meen Christene moet steeds die Wet van Moses onderhou. Ons kyk na 'n onderwerp wat dikwels twyfel in gelowiges se gemoed saai. Added: 2017-02-17 18:17:02 Email document
Christians and the Law of Moses.pdf Torah Observant groups state that Christians should still observe the Law of Moses. We look into a subject that often sows confusion in the mind of believers. Added: 2017-02-17 18:24:04 Email document
Die Hel Eeueoue Dwaalleer.pdf Hierdie artikel is 'n weerkyk na die helkonsep. Eeue se besoedeling deur mensgemaakte tradisies en geskrifte word blootgelê deur die Bybel as skietlood te gebruik in plaas van mensgemaakte bronne. Added: 2017-04-18 09:25:19 Email document
The quest for forgiveness.pdf This article looks at the difficult concept of forgiveness and different levels that may apply. Added: 2018-06-05 09:09:35 Email document
How Accurate Am I Reading The Bible Text.pdf Lately, the fact that we so often even err in our reading of the translations, has been turning around and around in my mind. This short article is the result and I only hope that it will stimulate every reader to focus anew on what the written word is really stating – and I am not referring to obvious twisting of Scripture portions. Added: 2018-11-18 07:40:08 Email document
The Mamzer Topic of Deuteronomy 2323.pdf Many seminars and training courses on emotional healing, Biblical counselling, families, etc., include teachings addressing persons born out of wedlock based on Deut 23:3-4. Sadly, these teachings mostly (if not always) apply a wrong interpretation of this Scripture portion and in the process persons are wounded emotionally and spiritually, and unnecessarily so. The application of emotional and spiritual cotton wool afterwards does not undo the wounds. I have seen the hurt in such people, having been involved in seminars of thid kind. This article was written after thorough study and I believe presents the truth within the correct context of the time. Added: 2018-12-30 12:41:05 Email document
Background of New Testament World and Culture.pdf Many misrepresentations of New Testament scriptures stem from ignoring the true context of the environment and culture in which the books and letters were wrtitten. The proper context for interpreting the Bible is the context of the biblical writers - the context that produced the Bible. Every other context is alien to the biblical writers and, therefore, to the Bible. This article sheds important light on cultural aspects of the time, including the problem of mixed religions. Added: 2019-06-09 06:56:29 Email document
Nuwe Testament se Kultuuragtergrond en Wreld.pdf Talle wanuitlegte van Nuwe Testamentskrifte spruit voort uit die ignorering van die ware omgewing en kultuurkonteks waarbinne die boeke en briewe geskryf is. Die behoorlike konteks vir Bybelinterpretering is die konteks van die Bybelse skrywers - die konteks wat die Bybel voortgebring het. Enige ander konteks is vreemd aan die Bybelse skrywers en daarom aan die Bybel. Hierdie artikel werp belangrike lig op kulturele aspekte van daardie tyd, met inbegrip van die probleem van gemengde godsdienste. Added: 2019-06-09 07:22:34 Email document
Four Women in the Genealogy by Matthew.pdf While Mary is a logical mention, the question is why these other four women were listed by Matthew and not any other maternal persons (e.g. Rebekah and Leah). He does not explain, but the fact is that they featured in prominent and specific ways in the history of Israel and which are linked to the Davidic and Messianic bloodline, ways that stretched beyond the traditional focus of marrying and bearing children.
