In this world, there are many temptations. We also find lots of people who call themselves Christian, but who undertake a lot of acts and keep to a lot of traditions that are not in line with the Biblical instructions.

We continue our thought about man making himself a god or worshipping more than one god.

The previous years we here in Belgium did not have it quite easy. In 2012 we got even silenced for some time.

In the previous postings we came to see that Jesus walked on this earth as a son of man, was seen by many, and was impaled. After his death he was put in a grave to be resurrected by his heavenly Father. In case this son of man would be God having come in a man, how does that fit the bible sayings and who, after faking His death and resurrection (because God cannot die), would be than the mediator between Him and man? In this article we look further at this son of man who is our saviour and mediator between God and man.… Read More When you believe Jesus is God: who do you think is the mediator? #2 Firstborn from the dead our advocate
