Truth & doubt

Living with doubts choosing for the Biblical Truth

When looking for God, not being sure if He exist, who He is, what He has done and what He still shall do, it is best to listen to your inner self, letting your mind speak, whilst you ask for getting to know the Truth.
He that knows the heart shall hear the call for truth and answer.

Give the Truth the benefit of the doubt

If there is a doubt, give the Truth the benefit of the doubt.
Do not be governed by personal leanings.
Men have to be powerfully in love with the Truth to act upon this principle, but men of God will act upon it.
To go with the wrong for friendship’s sake, or to retire in disgust into the corner, are equally inconsistent with the fidelity to God which is required of us in this dark and evil day.
– Brother Robert Roberts

Not of our own will

This site wants to present you with Biblical facts and show you the way to God. That way is the Nazarene man Jeshua, Jesus Christ, who did not his own will but God’s Will and demands from us to do likewise.

Jesus also asked his followers to go out into the world and preach the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God. Like his disciples, apostles and followers of him and in later years followers of the apostles, we should take those words of Christ as our guide and should lead no one of our own will. As followers of Christ Jesus, Jeshua, the Messiah, we do not wish to lead anyone, but wish to show the cornerstone on whom we should build our life. The height of our ambition is to persuade men to be led by the Truth.

Not capable to perform miracles

In the past, several men of God were capable to perform unbelievable things. In this age we are not capable to perform such miracles. We are not able to promise you that we can give you the best possible life. But we can promise you we can show you the way to a better life.

Like Brother John Thomas said:

“We cannot perform miracles, but we can do as John did; we can shew the truth; we can reason the truth into the minds of those that are among us; and the truth, getting into their minds, does the rest.
We are the mere agents in presenting the truth.
But when the truth has been worked into the thinking organ of the system, when it takes root, it is not easy to cast out.
It then becomes a purifier; and just in proportion as it gets deep in the mind of a man does it purify and control him, govern him, and direct him, and keep him.”

Wanting clear understanding

What is wanted is a clear understanding – a hearty appreciation – a decided policy – a disinterested determination to serve God – exalt the honour of Christ – and save men – irrespective of discouragement or opposition.
These can only be acquired by the constant reading of the Word, by which we imbibe the spirit of the ancients, who were approved.
When acquired, they will lead to a calm unquenchable pertinacity in the performance of those things that are possible, in the Truth’s service.
– Brother Robert Roberts; 1867
