NOBELPREISE (German)

EIN SCHLECHTES GEWISSEN

Alfred Nobel erfand das Dynamit und hatte danach ein schlechtes Gewissen. So stiftete er den Nobelpreis.

Es ist schon schlimm, ein schlechtes Gewissen zu haben. Karl May schreibt auch davon in einem seiner Buecher. Ich zitiere aus Winnetou 2. Band Seite 181 wo Old Shatterhand mit Old Death eine Unterhaltung hat. Old Death spricht:”Hoert Ihr, Sir, ein boeses Gewissen! Die Stimme im Innern, die einen anklagt, auch da, wo jeder irdische Richter schweigt! Davon habt ihr freilich keine Ahnung, aber ich sage euch: kein Galgen und kein Zuchthaus reicht da hinan!”

Der Alte sagte das in einem Ton, der mich tief erschuetterte. Dieser Mann schleppte offenbar eine schwere Schuld mit sich herum, sonst haette er nicht in dieser Weise sprechen koennen. Ich sagte nichts. Es verging eine Weile, bis er fortfuhr:”Sir, vergesst das nicht: Es gibt eine goettliche Gerechtigkeit, wogegen die weltliche das reine Kinderspiel ist! Das ewige Gericht sitzt im Gewissen und donnert einem bei Tag und Nacht den Urteilsspruch zu. Es muss heraus; ich muss es euch sagen. Und warum grad euch? Weil ich zu Old Shatterhand trotz seiner Jugend ein grosses Vertrauen habe. Und weil es mir in meinem Innern ganz so ist, als wuerde sich morgen etwas ereignen, das den alten Scout verhindern koennte, seine Suenden zu bekennen.”

First John 1:9

Catholic priests find the truth

I received today 2 books with testimonies how catholic priests came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.

There are some email addresses and may be those priests know a way how to reach the pope with the Good News.

So far I have read 1 of the 50 testimonies and what sticks out is that you have to earn your Salvation. It is not by grace. Ephesians 2:8,9

God’s Undertaker

Has Science buried God?

That is the title of a book by John C. Lennox. Unfortunately I cannot get it through the local library, because it does not seem to be in any library in NZ. I would like to read it-but it is about $30,00, I think. Saw it at Paper Plus.

And I hope I do understand the title alright.

But I ask myself: How can the creation bury the Creator? And this is also from memory: A godly scientist said once that we only know a small sliver of everything. But one day we will know more and more and probably find out that SCIENCE agrees with the Bible!

Sorry, but the FUTURE again:

1. Launch your future–courses for adults. On a leaflet from The Correspondence School (Te Kura-a-Tuhi)

2. On the back of a car: Our vision / our whanau / our future

One of these days I must systematize all the material I have collected about the FUTURE!

Do you know what it means to have a bad conscience?

Alfred Nobel had a bad conscience after inventing dynamite. That’s how the Nobel prizes started.

Heard today that people do other things as well to find help for a bad conscience. But I am not going into details.

I have a magnetic sticker here for the refrigerator door and it says:” Live every day as if it’s your last; enjoy the moment forget the past.”

But what, if you cannot forget the PAST?

But where do we really find help for our bad conscience?– First John 1:9

Succeeding Today, Shaping Tomorrow

I read this today in a News Letter: Multiskill is changing it’s name- so from 1 October 2007 we’ll be

‘Kiwidotcom- Succeeding Today, Shaping Tomorrow’

When I read that I was reminded again of what the Bible, the Word of the Living God says about our TODAY and TOMORROW: James 4:13-17. Please click on James 4:13-17 and you can read the verses in four (4) different translations.

The Future again (13. 10. 07)

— Just remembered that the Horoscope also has to do with the future.

— From the local Optometrists: How well you’ll see in the future depends on the lenses you wear today.

— From the business course First Steps to Business (FSB): “The best way to predict your future is to create it”-Erich Fromm.

THE ONLY WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO READ THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD!
