DIE BETROUBAARHEID EN OUTENTIEKHEID VAN DIE NT GESKRIFTE

Generaal Titus Gaius se Triomfboog in die Romeinse Forum, Rome - dis reg langsaan die Colosseum.  Wie is Flavius Josephus? En wat het hy te sê oor ons NT geskrifte?  Dit lyk of Josephus die geskrifte van Paulus geken het want hy het daaruit aangehaal toe hy met die Grieke oor die liggaamlike opstanding uit die dood geargumenteer het.  Het Christus aan die Kruis gesterf? Of was Shlomo Piprz reg dat die dissipels Sy liggaam...

DIE BETROUBAARHEID EN OUTENTIEKHEID VAN DIE NT GESKRIFTE: 'N UITNODIGING

Hoe betroubaar is ons Nuwe Testamentiese Skrifte? Hoe outentiek is dit? Miskien is dit vrae wat jy al gevra het of moontlik selfs jou eie navorsing gedoen het. Christus het nie aan die kruis gesterf nie. Sy liggaam is deur Sy dissipels gesteel en vir Moeder Maria gegee wat dit na ‘n ander land geneem het – aldus Shlomo Piprz. Dis ‘n ou storie wat in 2014 deur ‘n Jood oor vertel is. Ek het al gehoor dat Petrus beskryf was as ‘n redelike...

GOOD THINGS DO HAPPEN IN JAILS?!

Good deeds still occur in life - even in a prison with prisoners breaking free to help their jailer who apparently suffered a stroke. Lately we are bombarded by Police brutality and the "innocence" of the "victims."  Looking at the video clips it seems as if the good guys are the civilians and the baddies are the police. Whether this is factually correct or not, it is all in our faces. It is easy to feel somewhat bewildered and lost in...

DIE BETROUBAARHEID EN OUTENTIEKHEID VAN ONS NUWE TESTAMENTIESE GESKRIFTE

DIE TEMPEL VIR CASTOR & POLLUX WAT IN DIE ROMEINSE FORUM GEBOU IS 484vC Ek het hierdie foto van die tempel wat in die Romeinse Forum in omtrent 484vC opgerig was, geneem. Dit was ter ere van die beskermengelle vir die seevaarders.  Die uithangbordjie oor Castor en Pollux Het jy al gehoor van die skip met die snaakse naam CASTOR & POLLUX? Wel, Paulus het daarop na Rome gevaar om daar verhoor te word. Jy onthou seker hoe...

ECSTATIC!!!

I want to deviate somewhat from the usual write-ups. Maybe I am a little bit nostalgic especially if you consider that I am not a rugby fan at all. Yet, digging deep into my memory bank, I remember the late Gerhard Viviers and his radio commentaries on boxing and rugby.  Old Spiekeries!!  That was his nickname.  I mostly concentrated on his boxing commentaries, whereas my late father loved listening to Spiekeries' broadcasts...
