Our World on Blogger coming to its end


Since a few months, there seem to be problems with Blogger, making it not practical to open articles via tags. Also opening the home page takes on several browsers too much time. Even reducing the home page to only 5 articles did not bring a solution.


 

From 2021 September 25 I shall provide the articles which I would normally publish on "Our Word" on two platforms: The religious matters shall be placed mainly on Broeders in Christus or  Brethren in Christ, and the other news facts shall receive a place on From Guestwriters

As long as these WordPress websites allow the old system of publishing and do not force the block editing, that system is the best system of blogging and the easiest, giving the most facilities and offering also more viewers than many other systems.

I sincerely do hope to be able to find you there at those WordPress blogs as well as my other personal views and comments blog: Marcus Ampe's Space.


See you there!

February 2015 got new little lights shining on internet

On February 7, 2015 the First blog post was placed on C4U (Christ For You - Christadelphians For You)
On February 11 2015 C4All was created and got its first article "Welcome".

On the same day (2015 February 11) "Starting block" was presented as the first article on "Messiah for all" which would become the final chosen program to present Jesus to the general public. It was because the try outs on different web-programs or blog systems did not give satisfaction that I tried looking for a good solution.

Having put all that work in several systems, some where abandoned as not good at all, and one I would advice people never to try out because the system is infected and brings viruses to the computer of the user and all the work I had invested in it was all for nothing because a few hours after I thought I had made it, everything was gone (except the infection on my pc). (So please do not go to the Weebly site and do not try to invest tie over there falling in their promises of giving you a very nice way to blog.) (All the previous years I have used Avast, but those days I was trying out Bitdefender. Now I am back on the more protecting Avast which let less spam and other ad systems come into my system.)

To be honest, the three sites took so much work and I do find the result not so bad that I found I could keep those three mentioned above. C4U and C4All to bring very short notices and referral articles to the main site about Jesus Christ "Messiah for all". Al three want to present the reason why the Christadelphians are lovers of Christ and why you and all other people should become lovers of Jesus as well.

"Why choose us" wants to give the reason why it would not be bad to come to read more articles at the C4U site. "C4U- its believes" can give you an idea what we believe and what drives us to witness for Jehovah and for Jesus.

The Christadelphians are a very small community, which can use some introduction. Lots of people also find some unjust sayings about us, Christadelphians, Bible Students, Jehovah Witnesses and other non-trinitarians. Because so much rubbish is been told on the net about the Christadelphians we want to make things clear on C4U and also give a picture of what it means to belong to the City of Christ or Christadelphia. (Christadelphian, Christadelphia and Christadelphos)

I have some other blogs which are totally different from my secular blog Marcus Ampe's Space. I prefer to use other blogs to present my spiritual or religious views. But there and on other blogs where I reacted on certain writings I got accused of being a hater of God and a hater of Jesus.
With the new blogs I now want to proof that I am perhaps a grater lover of God and a greater lover of Jesus than they who do not want to accept the Words of God and the words of God His son, Jesus Christ.



In "Christ for you and You for Christ" the start-shot is given for the Biblical view of Jesus Christ, to which the Christadelphians want to keep themselves. They do not want to take on the human doctrines but aim to keep to what is written in the Bible or Holy scriptures, which we consider to be the infallible Word of God.

The three new blogs want to put their focus on Jesus. To present the whole picture "Messiah for all" goes way back to the beginning of everything. As such the first few weeks there shall be several writings on the creation period, Who is behind it, what happened and how Jesus came in the picture at the beginning of times.

On Messiah for all is looked at how Something came from nothing  and what Scripture says about Creation and Creator Deity.
And naturally we can't avoid looking at How Many Persons Created the Heavens and the Earth.

That the new site "Messiah for all" does not want to go away from more difficult subjects in Christendom can be seen in the publication of Genesis 1 story does not take away an evolution.

"Focussing on oneness with Jesus - like Jesus is one with God" is what the apostles did and also asked the followers of Jesus to do. I with the Christadelphians consider myself and my community belonging to the Body of Christ, being brothers and sisters who want to share their love for Christ with each other and being thankful to the Most High for Him accepting Jesus his ransom offer.

May I invite you to come and have a look at the new sites and to give your impression on our presentation of the "world for Christ with Jesus".

From Winterdarkness into light of Spring

Sometimes we can have the impression we are Living in the Wilderness of the chaotic jungle of the industrial world.


English: Skulls remaining on the field and tre...

The darkness of the Winter-months has been with us for a long time. Week after week we got grey skies, winds which brought the the kill feeling deep in us. Every year in the month of February the undertakers have the busiest period of year. This year it was not so bad. The funeral directors could look so deadly serious having less people than normal, because the weather was not so bad. Notwithstanding we can see many gloomy faces running around.


People have demanding jobs, and are taken by the need to get enough money in the till to have the family living reasonably well. It all seems to be great? We seem to be living in a world full of luxury.  Like we may have a shadow of democracy, a varnish civilization many may be king in their home only in name. The banks own most of what people have. Under the show of pretence many do think to have 'many friends'. Social media may be booming but more and more do we find lonely people. Lots of what people pretend is only on the surface.

Glamour, cosmetics, we can find it everywhere around us in this varnished world where so much is not what it seems to be. In that world many do not mind to be the blind one. When they do not know they do not have to worry. Why would they take notice of others or to be worried about things far away from their own house, when they have already enough on their own mind.

So many people are so concentrated earning their money working on whet they call success, they forget to see where the real treasures lie. They are not feeling happy. They do not know where to look for the real happiness. They go looking at the wrong places. So many try their luck by games and by trying out one person after the other. They think all can be said and measured by the amount and quality of sex they can have.

They are not so much interested in talking or in having real deep going conversations. Reading serious or long articles for them is mostly considered a waste of time. today so much have to be so short and so quick. Everything may be casual. This is the world of cursoriness. Hastiness rules this world.

In our transitory being many forget the deeper values of life. they are blinded by all the materialism and are not interested in the spiritual.

Now Spring has come we should Not hold back and should be getting out of darkness.
Many may have been looking for ways to keep the Darkness Out.
Many are also Afraid of the Dark.

We should not Be Afraid From “Life’s Darkness”.Those wanting to get out of the dark corners of this world, can find a new place on the web, where people are asked to come together and to share their ideas, to bring a positive note in this life. there they understand that there is to much Darkness’s Pain.
Some might think they are in a sinking world…. but I am convinced it should not all be so bad, and we can do a lot to keep all together our heads above water. I am convinced that if more people should join hands they could do so much better and rally could bring some change. But they have to be willing to join hands, to contribute, and to go forwards, with heads up, accepting the diversity in this world.

Sink or Swim
Sink or Swim (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It is up to us all to chose if we want to Swim or Sink. Each individual has to make a choice: ~ Sink or Swim ~.

What is important is if we want to See the conquest and believe that we can gain the victory.

When you think you have nothing to say or to show the new website wants to show you differently. You may already be connected to many Social networking Web sites, but that new site From Guestwriters does not want to pretend to become an other social network. We do believe you may love to spend time on such social networks. You may love to have short words and do some chit-chat, Putting your feelings into words and sharing them.
Where-ever you may live, be it in Winter or Summer, living in a small village or in a big town or even Living in the Wilderness, you might like to find a place of rest, peacefulness or a place where you can meditate or think about nice things. there is already so much bad news in this world, so why not having a look at better things. But not many sites present those nice things, the little miracles which happen here and there.

As itseirene wrote in a comment:
“Blogs will always come in different shapes and sizes, and with each shape and size is a platform to inspire and touch lives. I hope I have inspired you and I hope you inspire others. Let’s continue to do this together!”
With Spring in sight I also want to bring some positive corner out of the dark. Pleas do find Welcome to “From guestwriters” and have a look if you would not like to become  part of those people who bring positive news in this world.

We need more positive thoughts in this world, to bring more light and colour in this grim places.
Do you not feel like you can help us to achieve some goal of bringing happiness and showing more beauty to many more people?


Please find to read about our aims and aspirations:

  1. Welcome to “From guestwriters”
  2. Guestwriters for you
  3. About Guest-writers
  4. We all have to have dreams
  5. Spring in sight
  6. When you think you have nothing to say or to show
  7. Putting your feelings into words and sharing them
  8. Helping words
  9. Spark of Positivism

Xanga Toe Stepper made silent

'Stepping toes' was originally a Xanga website opened on the 28th of September 2011, but in the Summer 2013 Xanga changed its policy and the Christadelphians had to find a solution for recovering their texts on October 6 of 2013.
Image representing Xanga as depicted in CrunchBase

The reason why the Christadelphians started a Xanga site was because they were confronted with a lot of wrong sayings on several Xanga sites about serious Bible Students, Jehovah Witnesses and Christadelphians or Brothers in Christ. Because they could not react to certain writings on Xanga, because  to reply the person had to be a member and some writings on the Xanga sites could use some reactions from outside the Christadelphians decided to put on their boots and join the community.

I and and the Christadelphians knew it would not be a place where many writings from our site would be placed on the net. We had our hands full already with other websites and other real life stuff, printing work and distribution of hard copy magazines.

Image representing Skype as depicted in CrunchBase

In the recent previous years we saw many changes in the bloggers world. Also in the system of communicating with each other many changes came very quickly. I still remember to be one of the earlier messengusers having a @messengeruser.com account which later became the better know @hotmail.com account, which still many use today but also has been changed to @outlook.com accounts, and the messenger gave way to the more succesfull Skype.

The "Stepping toes" site got his name from the Dutch saying “Op de tenen stappen” or “Stepping on the toes” being the figuratively  “to thread on a person’s toes” or making that somebody carries a chip on the shoulder.

At the time we did hope that the visitors on that site would not be to quickly to take offence, but would be brought to think about serious and debatable matters. We knew that the matters which we brought forward on that site were texts which could cause commotion, hence the name.

It is our awareness that people like to hold fast on tradition and want to keep to certainties which are given from one generation onto the other. We know that certain ideas we share, are not favoured by so many. First of all do we love and honour only One God, who we want to address to with His Name. And that Name is one which frightens a lot of people. Once people do hear the Name of that Creator they also often of only one denomination in christianity, forgetting that there are (luckilly) more denominations which use that Sacred Name of God.

People are easily put out when they hear whom we adhere.
But we are also sure that the die is been cast and that we have come in a special time where it is more important to share our love to the whole world, like our Masterteacher Jesus/Jeshua, the Messiah did.

The man we do like to follow on this earth not only wanted that everybody knew his Father, he also proclaimed the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God and wanted that all his followers went out into the world to bring that Evangelion of good Tidings.
You could say that nobody can quarrel with such good news that Jesus of Nazareth brought, but as the world went against him so they were not pleased either with his followers.

At the time of going on the Xanga platform the Christadelphians wrote:
Now we pitch our own tents here also on this Xanga Group we do hope we shall find enough spirits eager to share their ideas and to welk along on the long road to … Tipperary and beyond. happy
Today they have to tell the readers:

From Monday 7 October we shall try to place the previous publicised articles from Xanga on some of our other websites.
Most of the Christadelphian writings you can find at our other web pages, to which we would like to invite you:

Our main site: Belgian Christadelphians
Christadelphian Ecclesia
Brethren in Christ – Broeders in Christus
Christadelphia
Hoop tot Leven | Redding door Christus Jezus
Hope to find you there also.heart

Bloggers Voor Vrede



"Ons voornaamste doel in dit leven is om anderen te helpen.
En als je ze niet kan helpen, in ieder geval niet te kwetsen. "
~ Dalai Lam

Enkele maanden geleden hebben in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika Kozo Hattori en Cheri Speak het inittiatief genomen om bloggers van over de gehele wereld op te roepen om hun krachten te bundelen en samen te regelmatig te bloggen voor vrede.



Bloggers For Peace (Blogger4Peace) is stilaan aan het groeien en meerdere schrijvers en schrijversters dragen hun steentje bij om de boodschap van wereldvrede uit te dragen.


Al diegenen die betrokken zijn bij Bloggers voor de Vrede kunnen over zeer verscheiden onderwerpen praten. Men kan er gedichten, proza, commentaren of kritieken vinden of historische en andere artikelen, die ernstig kunnen zijn maar ook om te lachen. Het is de bedoeling om de boodschap verdere uit te dragen. Dat kan gebeuren door de verscheidene berichten te posten, te lezen, te her-posten, te tweeten , re-tweeten , te volgen, en de boodschap mee helpen te verspreiden.

De oprichters en wij vragen dat u zou willen mee helpen om de boodschap van vrede elke dag te verspreiden waar u ook bent.

 "Als we geen vrede hebben, is het omdat we zijn vergeten dat we bij elkaar horen."
~ Moeder Teresa
Mother Teresa of Calcutta (26.8.1919-5.9.1997)...
Moeder Teresa van Calcutta  op de pro-life meeting in 1986 in Bonn, Duitsland (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



Als mensen op deze aardbol moeten wij de verbondenheid voelen tussen de verscheidene mensen in de verschillende wereldstreken. Of men nu gelovig is of niet, blijft er ontegensprekelijk de menselijke factor. Het 'mens zijn' dat ons allen eigen hoort te zijn.

Zij die gelovig zijn weten dat iedereen in de beeltenis van de Grote Schepper is gemaakt en zo een onderdeel uitmaakt van de Schepping van de Allergrootste God, wiens wonderwerken wij kunnen bewonderen  en horen te respecteren.

Dat respect moeten wij zelf niet enkel uitoefenen, wij moeten het overdragen naar hen die rondom ons zijn. Al diegenen die ons omringen zouden wij een warm hart moeten toedragen. Aan onze Schepper zijn wij dat verschuldigd. Hij heeft het universum gemaakt en er voor gezorgd dat wij daar in een plaats kunnen krijgen. Die plaats moeten wij nu zelf waar maken.

Jezus heeft zijn apostelen en allen die hem willen volgen de opdracht gegeven om uit te gaan en de boodschap van liefde en vrede uit te dragen. Dat is wat wij als Christenen horen te doen.

Zij die willen bloggen voor vrede, zijn diegene die een algemeen universele boodschap van liefde en vrede willen uitdragen. Zij willen de liefde verkondigen die mensen er toe kan brengen om samen dingen op te bouwen en om samen zich verenigd te voelen in een groot geheel waar men een waardig burger in wil zijn die samen met ander mee bijdraagt tot het welvormen van een vredelievende maatschappij.

Vrede kent geen grenzen. Bij vrede zijn er geen noemenswaardige gebreken en worden geen fouten aangerekend. Vergevingsgezindheid moet voorop staan en de weg openen om samen te groeien.
We hebben geen vijanden. Zet een "Bloggers for Peace 'badge op je blog (zie hieronder). Zet het ergens op je blog, in de post, op je 'over' pagina, zoals een afbeelding widget op je menubalk op uw pagina "awards", op je avatar pagina, of als een gedragen kenteken. Koppel uw bericht aan ten minste een andere post van een andere blogger voor Vrede. Door de berichten te delen kan je zo lezers naar andere boodschappers van vrede leiden en hen een stem geven in een bredere omgeving.

Het enige wat je hoeft te doen om deel te nemen aan dit initiatief is ten minste één bericht per maand aan / voor / over vrede te besteden. Wij hopen dat u zich toe kan bereid voelen, en mee dit initiatief wil ondersteunen..

Als je gedichten of fictie wil schrijven, schrijf een stukje over vrede. Als u foto's wil maken, post een foto of galerie die reflecteert, symboliseert, definieert, of rust schept. Of het nu een kort stukje is of een langere tekst, doet er niet toe, als het maar die boodschap van rust en vrede kan over brengen. Maar je kan ook schrijven over datgene wat de vrede kan verstoren, of opmerkingen maken wanneer dingen dreigen te ontsporen, zodat het niet zo ver hoeft te komen dat er problemen zouden ontstaan omdat mensen voor het verkeerde zouden gekozen hebben. Je mag over lieve, fijne , ontroerende dingen schrijven, of je roep naar iets dat de vrede brengt of een tirade brengen over iets dat vrede bevordering verstoort. Voel je vrij om creatief te zijn.

Hopelijk, zal dit een symbiotische synergie veroorzaken die anderen zal inspireren om kunst / poëzie / proza ​​/ foto's / tekeningen / liefde te posten  over vredevolle zaken, om zo die noodzakelijke vrede uit te stralen.

De oprichters van Bloggers4Peace hopen een virtuele cirkel te kunnen krijgen van ons allen die de handen in solidariteit voor de vrede in elkaar steken.

Je kan instructies op uw post plaatsen voor anderen om zich bij de groep aan te sluiten of terug te linken naar dit bericht of naar de pagina Bloggers For Peace op Marcus's Space: Bloggers For Peace, of een link plaatsen naar About B4PEACE.

Bij het verder linken zal u kunnen mee helpen aan de groei van de beweging.
Kun je je voorstellen als we genoeg bloggers zouden kunnen uit nodigen, zodat we elke dag een post voor vrede kunnen hebben?
Stel je de impact voor die we kunnen maken als er dagelijks op het internet een nieuwe creativiteit / energie / emotie / positieve vibratie over vrede zou plaats hebben. Stel je voor dat we verbonden zijn door al deze berichten samen om een ​​web van rust en positieve energie te creëren.
"Je zou kunnen zeggen dat ik een dromer, maar ik ben niet de enige ..." Zelfs als je niet zelf een post kan of wenst te maken, kan je deelnemen door er zorg voor te dragen dat de boodschap zich verder verspreidt. Je kan namelijk de teksten dan re-bloggen of de sociale media gebruiken om ze met anderen te delen. Zo kan jij ook bijdragen die vredesboodschap verder uit te dragen en mee werken aan het "vrede berichten".

Iedereen kan zijn steentje bijdragen tot het verder verspreiden van positieve gedachten en de roep naar het bundelen van krachten om de vredesboodschap over te brengen in al de uithoeken van deze aarde.
Peace!
Peace! (Photo credit: aldrin_muya)


Als je hier bent, betekent dit dat u de zorg over het helpen van anderen aan gaat. Het betekent dat u geboeid kan zijn door compassie, liefde en empathie zijn en dat het een deel van je leven kan en mag zijn.

Wij waarderen dat u hier langs bent gekomen en hopen dat wij u hier nog meer zullen mogen aantreffen. Ook hopen wij dat u uw weg ook zult kunnen vinden naar andere bloggers die positief nieuws willen brengen en een boodschap van warmte, genegenheid, bezorgdheid, liefde de wereld wensen in te sturen.

Wij waarderen het als u mee in dit initiatief wil stappen en mee wil bijdragen aan de samenhorigheid van de verschillende mensen in deze wereld vol kleur.

Wij voelen ons gezegend om een ​​deel van deze gemeenschap te zijn. Wij kunnen uw energie voelen, en het verandert onze wereld.

Dank u wel.
