What we believe
We are a team of Christians and therefore believe that God inspired the whole Bible.
The Bible is the highest authority in all doctrinal matters. No organisation or teaching authority is above the Scriptures.
According to this, God created the whole universe, the earth and all living creatures on it in literally 6 days. All human beings since Adam are sinners and are under God’s judgment of condemnation. This judgement cannot be cancelled by good works, because sins once committed cannot be wiped out.
The only way to be saved from God's judgment is
1. for every human being to admit for himself alone that he is lost before God – through his own fault.
2. that he no longer wants to go the way of sin (= repentance).
3. that he acknowledges that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man and was without sin and thus was able to pay the penalty for your and my sins vicariously on the cross.
For no one who has sinned can die vicariously for the sins of another, since he himself is under judgment. Because Christ is truly God, he could vicariously bear the sins of all people on the cross.
Through this faith in Jesus Christ alone, every person who calls upon the name of the Lord is saved and declared righteous before God. For only those who do not have a single sin will enter heaven, i.e. only those to whom sins are no longer imputed, and this only happens through the blood of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 20… Be reconciled to God.
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Mat 11:28-30 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest unto your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Once converted, life takes on a whole new meaning because the Holy Spirit now dwells in that person. This has tremendous effects. True Christians are not only recognised by what they say, but also by their fruits, by a life of truth and sanctification.
Are you already a disciple of Jesus? If not, don't hesitate until it's too late!
Hebrews 3:7-8 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 do not harden your hearts…"
What is meant here is not an acoustically perceptible voice ... everyone notices for himself when the Lord Jesus Christ calls!

As far as the various teachings on the rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus are concerned, we can only say – also on the basis of our own experiences – that everyone must study the Scriptures for himself without preconceptions. Otherwise one is dependent on the doctrine and Bible knowledge of others. Therefore:
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
May this website encourage independent Bible study.
