There are a couple dozen mentions of Jesus touching people when he healed them. The healing Jesus did was personal, one-on-one. There are only two cases I can come up with of Jesus healing someone long distance: The centurion whose beloved servant was deathly ill recognized that Jesus could heal with a word (Luke 7:1-10). […]
Revival for French-speaking Brothers in Christ At the hands of Duncan Heaster, the leader of Carelinks, our Belgian association suffered greatly in 2014 and subsequent years. The whole affair surrounding a dispute that was mainly between CBM and Mr D. Heaster totally undercut us when we tried to get all the different Christadelphian groups in […]
Renouveau pour les Frères en Christ belges francophones Sous l’impulsion de Duncan Heaster, le dirigeant de Carelinks, notre association belge a beaucoup souffert en 2014 et les années suivantes. Toute cette affaire autour d’un différend qui opposait principalement CBM et M. D. Heaster nous a totalement décrédibilisés lorsque nous avons essayé de rassembler tous les […]

We have already seen that we cannot blame God for causing suffering, it is our fault whether we like it or not. But if God has the power to stop it and does not, it might be argued that He must take some of the blame. Suppose you were an expert swimmer, and you saw […]
Initially this seems like a foolish question, after all no one likes to suffer. It is unpleasant, but that does not mean it is bad. It is possible for something to be unpleasant and yet useful at the same time. Remember that particularly nasty medicine you probably had at some time? It was unpleasant — […]

If we think about it carefully, we find that there are basically four kinds of suffering in the world: Suffering caused deliberately by humans In this category are included war, robbery and murder. If a person (or a nation) sets out to deliberately kill, maim, rob or cheat, then a great deal of suffering will […]

There is no doubt at all that the problem of suffering is one of the greatest problems a Christian has to face. It has probably caused more people to lose faith, and prevented more people from finding faith, than almost any other problem. It is the argument most often used by atheists when they want […]

Everyone knows what a scapegoat is: someone who is made to take the blame for something, allowing the actual perpetrator(s) to go scot-free. The origin of the term is in Leviticus 16, in the directions given for the Day of Atonement. There are two goats, one to be sacrificed and one “scapegoat”. Modern translators leave […]
