No. 1646: They were too "good" for this world!

No. 1646:

They were too "good" for this world!

Picture of one of the case managers in PBE here in Oslo who is controlled by the forces of darkness that, among other things, we who have upgraded our property want.
Will tear down our wall that we were led by PBE how to build.
Here you see an example of the children of this world punishing what is good. Satan he turns everything upside down.
Picture of the evil and Devilish Astrid Myhra who is only looking for trouble and hatred.
That such people are allowed to continue here in Oslo is so bad.
Words are not enough, are there no adults at home here in the capital?
Doesn't look like that, could never have imagined a place.
To meet such evil and Devilish people.
This should only be met in one way, with strong rejection and never under any circumstances comply with what they want out of evil and completely on their face decisions.
They are some bullies controlled by Satan and his demons.
Trying to break people with fines and theft.
After we have upgraded our property and done good.
We are good and do good.
These are evil and do evil.

Heb. 11. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been compassed about for seven days.
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute avoided being destroyed with the unbelievers when she received the spies with peace.
32 What more can I say? — It would take too much time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah and David, or about Samuel and the prophets.
33 For through faith they subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, and shut the mouths of lions.
34 They quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword. The weak were made strong, they became valiant in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection; others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, hoping to obtain a better resurrection.
36 Others were tried with mockings and scourgings. They were even put to death in chains and prisons.
37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were slain by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, afflicted, and mistreated.—And the world was not worthy of them!
38 They wandered about in deserts and mountains, and lived in dens and caves of the earth.
39 All these had a witness given to them through their faith, but they did not receive the promises.
40 But God had provided something better for us, so that without us they could not be made perfect.

The standards of this world are not God's standards!

What people value highly and what they don't, is individual.

But there is no doubt that we as believers have a completely different view of values than non-believers.

What Muslims and others also value highly, is of course not what we Christians do!

Here, in the context of the text in Hebrews, the Apostle Paul comes up with many strong and apt expressions that I really recognize.

Among others, this, from verse 36: "Others had trials such as mocking and scourging. And they were even put in chains and imprisoned."

The previous verses speak of those who won victories and endured the battle.
But from verse 36 onwards, it speaks of those who did not win so-called victories and overcame the enemy in this world.
That is also part of the whole picture for us believers.
It is not always the case that we in this world apparently win victories.
It may look like we do not.
But that is only an optical illusion.
We as believers always win victories.
The apostle Paul says something very strong in the letter to the Romans.

Rom. 8. 37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Christians "continue to win a glorious victory."
The fact is, even when all of life is against us, we are still "more than conquerors" despite how things seem to us, or how we feel about our circumstances.
God will strengthen us no matter what.
We are victorious over all those who would challenge our relationship with the Lord. God has "justified" us, and nothing will ever change His mind.

Winning more than victory is how God sees it all.
Even our defeats, difficulties, and trials are not defeats, surely?
These are Blessings in disguise many times over.
Therefore, our life as believers is not how the people of the world see it all.
It is not actually how we ourselves see it all.
Many times we live in an optical illusion.

From Wikipedia:
An optical illusion, an optical deception, or an optical illusion is when we perceive an image as something other than it actually is, or as something that according to our reason is impossible.
The information our eyes send to the brain challenges our perception of reality.
Optical illusions can be roughly divided into two groups, physiological and cognitive illusions.

I have experienced this, but that for us believers. Is much we experience as an "optical illusion."
We experience apparent defeat, but for God this is only an opportunity for him. Where he gets his way and will.

For example. when the authorities stole our car, supernatural things happened that I will not mention yet. As the fight against Satan and PBE is not over yet.

Here in this situation, PBE and the authorities are completely controlled and ruled by Satan and his demons.
These are Norwegian authorities who lie, distort the fact.
Aim to try to break us for having done only right and good.
We have upgraded our property.
Where nothing is as PBE claims it to be. Among other things, they do not remember that they guided me how to build the wall. They lie about the drop height or the level difference on our property.
Where they will not admit that they make a difference between us and others.
They lie about one and all. Their entire explanation supported by the State Administrator and others.
Is a continuous lie and distortion!

https://blog.janchristensen.net/2025/07/nr-3488-det-er-ingen-tvil-i-mine-yne-at.html

Verse 38:
“They wandered in deserts and mountains, and lived in dens and caves of the earth.”

It is timely to ask a big and important question here.
If we go to the previous verses, we see that God’s people won an unqualified victory.
Did these not believe in the same God?
Israel’s God, and were just as devoted as the others about whom it is written, among other things, the following:
“For through faith some conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, and stopped the mouths of lions.
They quenched the fury of fire and escaped the edge of the sword. The weak became strong, they became valiant in battle and put foreign armies to flight.”

They had promises fulfilled and closed the mouths of lions as the Prophet Daniel experienced.
Here one can say that the contrasts are great. But they served the same God, right?

The truth is that just like a coin or for that matter a cake.
Has two sides, our faith life also has two sides.
Where we are not guaranteed which of the sides will emerge and we get to “taste” it.
Where God always has full and complete control over and in our lives.

We also read in verse 37 the following:

“They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were slain by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, they were discouraged, they were in need and they were mistreated. — And the world was not worthy of them!”

There are many things to address here.
But for some of the believers here, life went against them in the worst possible way.
Some, among others, were sawn in two, as the prophet Isaiah experienced.
Isaiah was the son of Amos.
The Bible does not say anything about his birth and death, but according to Jewish tradition, he was sawn in two by the evil King Manasseh.
His writings show that he lived in Jerusalem with his wife, who was a prophetess, and at least two sons, who had prophetic names.
Isaiah was sawn in two by King Manasseh because he would not retract his message.

Didn't the prophet win then? He would not retract or change the message to please the evil King Manasseh.
When the choice is to compromise or stand for God and his word, it is always more important to stand for God than to give in!

We read further here that it is written:
"And those who were in the world were not worthy of them!"

Here I must be allowed to use the persecution of Christianity we experience from the Oslo Municipality. Where we have upgraded our property. They use this against us, even though it was they who guided us how to build.
Such things and similar things only happen in the world of Satan and demons.
Where the right and good become the crazy and illegal.
Think, this is how this world works where Satan is the Prince of this World and the God of this World!

Final comment:

If one does not understand how this world is screwed up.
Then one can quickly be deceived and go astray.
It says the following about these heroes of faith:
"they were discouraged, they were in need and they were mistreated."

There are times that I do not understand that God allows Satan through certain evil people.
Through circumstances and other conditions that the enemy is allowed to pinch, gag and apparently is allowed to hold on far beyond the line in my opinion and perception.
But sooner or later, this will testify against them.
And God's word will come true.
The scripture says this, among other things.
Deuteronomy 28. 7 The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways. 8 The Lord will command the blessing to be with you in your barns and to follow you in all that you undertake, and he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

God's words and promises are very strong, and the Lord gives us victory in all our ways.
But sometimes we have to take a step back before we can take two steps forward.
We as believers must not forget that we live and walk in a wicked world.
Where the people of the world and unfortunately also some believers are characterized by the God and Spirit of this world.
Where they want to create trouble, difficulties and other nausea.
Where their values are trouble, not solutions!
As believers, we must expect a somewhat turbulent life where injustices are often in a queue!
But in the end, we have God's word and God's promises that we will come out of the battle victorious and the people of the world losing!
It is a type of infantilization of our lives that is not ke has nothing to do with facts.
For example, look at what I experience where Satan and his demons use Oslo Municipality against me for all it is worth.
Thus, as believers, we must accept that we cannot retaliate against this injustice as this World lies in Evil.
But Victory is always within reach for us believers.
Because God has his clock and timetable.
Where he does his mighty work when he says it is enough that Satan and the demons have been allowed to use these evil Devilish people who do everything they can to harm, destroy and kill as Satan's task and work is.
John 10. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly.

In conclusion, I would like to add that when God works in a person, one gets a healthy mind.
As in these employees in Oslo Municipality and the authorities who let Satan and his demons rule, have an unhealthy and Devilish mind.
That we should tear down the beautiful, fictional and environmental we have built.
Is nothing other than downright demonic.
It is therefore obvious that what we are in is a spiritual battle.

2 Tim. 1. 7 For God did not give you the spirit of cowardice, but of power, of love and of sobriety.
The original text does not say the spirit of sobriety, but the spirit of health.
Or a healthy mind to be completely correct.
That is why, as I said, the whole matter is fundamentally a battle between God and Satan.
Light and darkness. Truth and lies!

No. 1645:

Program leader Visjon Norge has remarried as a believer after a divorce before she came to Jesus, is this in accordance with scripture?

There are different opinions about whether it is permissible for someone to become a believer.
If the person has been married as a non-believer.

IS IT THEN PERMITTED FOR HIM/HER TO THEN MARRY AS A BELIEVER?

WHAT DOES THE SCRIPTURE SAY?

Does a marriage entered into as a pagan apply?

This is not an easy question to answer. Because it is complicated and not straightforward.
But the word of God, rather than the Apostle Paul's subving.
Is very clear, simple and without misunderstandings!

To start with the clear in the word of God, which says that remarriage for believers is exclusive.
Only death is allowed for remarriage.
That is the starting point for everything.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2019/07/nr-2490-teolog-og-bibellrer-yvind.html
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2014/01/nr-745-en-mann-en-kvinne-en-pakt-ett.html

1 Cor. 7. 10 To the married I command in the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.
11 But if she departs, let her either remain abstinent or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not leave his wife.

Rom 7. 2 A woman who has a husband is bound to him, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
3 If her husband lives and she marries another, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law of her husband, and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

It is said, there is no rule without exception.
So it is also here with remarriage.
As the scripture, especially the Apostle Paul teaches about this.
The Gentile Apostle had a clear teaching about this.

Who is given permission and permission for remarriage as a believer?
No one?
There is no permission for remarriage for believers who are married as Christians.
Remarriage here is and remains to be against the word of God and the will of God.

1.) 1 Cor. 12 To the rest I say by the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is not a believer, and she is willing to live with him, he should not divorce her.
13 In the same way, she who has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, should not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by her husband. Otherwise, their children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving one wishes to depart, let him depart. No one is under bondage in such cases, for God has called us to peace.
16 For how does the wife know whether she will save her husband, or the husband whether he will save his wife?

If a couple have married unbelievers. Where one becomes a believer.
Then the believer should remain in the marriage.
But if the unbeliever does not wish to remain, then the believer is free.
Free to remarry. This is the first “clause” for remarriage.

2.) 1 Thess. 4. 1 Furthermore, brothers, we urge and exhort you by the Lord Christ, just as you received from us how you ought to live and please God, that you would live even more abundantly.
2 And you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 This is the will of God for you: your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.
4 Each one of you should know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
5 not in passionate lust like the Gentiles who do not know God.

Paul is saying here about unbelievers, they find their spouses through passionate lust. So they should not be among us believers.
The starting point for a right marriage is only and only this is among believers.

Does the Program Manager in Visjon Norge have the right to enter into a new marriage after she has come to faith?

Since she is divorced as a non-believer?

What does the Apostle Paul say on this subject?
Jesus preached to the Jews, the same as the Apostle Peter.
Here it is Paul who applies!

How are our lives before we come to faith?
The Apostle Paul speaks of us being in darkness.
We are in Satan's kingdom.
Satan is the prince of this world.
We are dead in our sins and transgressions.
The life and the choices we make are thus controlled by Satan all too often.
Then Paul is clear that one starts all over again.
As if one has never lived, made any mistakes.

At the same time, from the day one accepts Jesus.
One is responsible for one's deeds.
One does not just start over.
But one enters into a relationship of responsibility to God that one did not have before.

As I understand the scripture, Program Manager in Vision Norway Liv Søvde Kallevig is free to remarry!

If she had been divorced as a Christian, she is not free.

Since this happened while she was living as a non-believer, the conditions are completely different.

Here are some scriptures that show the nne enormous contrast it is to be an unbeliever versus a believer.

Col. 1. 13 He has delivered us from the powers of darkness, and will bring us into his kingdom through the love of his Son.

Eph. 2. 1 You too were dead in your trespasses and sins.

2 For you also lived in time past according to the spirit of this world, according to the prince of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience.

3 You also also lived in time past in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires and minds of the flesh. You were by nature children of wrath, just as the rest of us were.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy and with his great love for us,

5 And you, who were dead in trespasses, are made alive in Christ, for by his grace you are saved.

1 Tim. 5. 6 But he who lives in pleasure is dead while he lives.

1930 translation 1 Tim. 5. 6 but he who lives according to his desires is dead alive.

The apostle Paul who preached more severely than anyone.
At the same time was gentler than anyone?
Wrote this.

2 Cor. 5. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!

18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

19 For God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Therefore we are Christ's representatives, as though God were making an appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf, ‘Be reconciled to God!’

21 He made him** to be sin who knew no sin, so that the righteousness of God might be made.

Then as an unbeliever, nothing is imputed to it in the same way into the new life.
This is what the Apostle Paul taught us.
The Apostle Paul was the one who was to complete the word of God.
There is no new revelation, what is given. It is given to us.
For teaching, encouragement and imitation.

Col. 1. 25 Of whom I became a servant according to the stewardship which God gave me to fulfill the word of God.
26 In which is also the mystery which has been hidden from the generations for ages, but has now been revealed to the saints.

No. 1644: But punished in relation to going against the authorities and the superiors. Norway, and especially Oslo has become a "Nazi country!"

No. 1644:

But punished in relation to going against the authorities and the superiors. Norway, and especially Oslo has become a "Nazi country!"

https://www.sokelys.com/selv-nazistene-og-adolf-hitler-var-ikke-sa-ille-som-det-offentlige-er-imot-oss-er-vi-overvevist-om-for-dette-er-ikke-noe-annet-enn-et-offentlig-overgrep/

Norway and especially Oslo are about to become a population like the Nazis who went in step with each other and nothing is tolerated outside the "box" and the mainstream perception!

Illustrative image where the Nazis and the Norwegian authorities and society as it has become in Norway. As in our case with PBE and the public testify and tell us.
Where one is not actually punished in relation to what one has done.
But punished in relation to going against the authorities and the superiors.

 

The punishment for not submitting to the authorities is that the authorities have "permission" to do whatever they want.
The rejection of our arguments is total and the truth does not matter.
We are to be gagged, everything is legal for us.
Think, 280,000, - NOK in fines for having upgraded our property is directly demonic and completely out of all proportion.

Here is the first demand, of nearly 280,000, - NOK.

 

Here is the second incorrect and completely out of all proportion.
Demand of 188,500, - NOK after they forcibly sold our car.
The punishment we receive is not according to our so-called illegality.
It is because we have gone against the authorities, and did not bow to their lies and narrative. Then one should be punished unrestrained until one bows, even if everything is fabricated and exaggerated completely out of all conceivable and possible circumstances.
Norway, and especially Oslo has become a Nazi city.

 

In our case where we have built a wall, stairs and a shed that is not as illegal as PBE claims then the fall on our property indicates that we are allowed to have a wall almost similar to ours. Where we have submitted proposals on how to solve the whole thing.
They do not answer this even though the Administrative Procedure Act says they are required to do this.
In other words, we should be punished for not subordinating ourselves and lying to the authorities.
The Nazis and the Norwegian authorities operate in the same way.
The worst thing you can do in a totalitarian society is not what you have done.
But to go against the authorities and not accept what they say and do, blindly!

Everyone should be included and get their rights is the slogan here in Oslo.
Where soon the entire population will follow the Nazis' lead.
Nothing is tolerated outside the box, and if you somehow get outside.
Then there is nothing that the authorities are not allowed to do to you.
But nothing is in proportion and in proportion to what one has made up for by so-called violation of the law.
Totalitarianism means that the public sphere is total, as it is in many ways in Norway.
Where it is for most people quite well.
But if one falls into "disfavor" as we have become. Then all means and punishments are legal.
Going against the totalitarian Norwegian rule, one gets a fine of 280,000, - kr for having built a cracking good wall. Talk about Satan and his demons thriving in these evil and downright devilish people like PBE and the authorities are.
It is simply unhindered evil and harassment they are doing.
What should be punished most severely is that you go against the system!
Are you someone who does not obey, blindly. For the lies, distortion and discrimination of the authorities. Then the demos and Satan come forward with these.
They do not hold back anything, for a gang controlled by Satan and his evil spirit forces this is what we are fighting against.

All means can be used, no inhibitions!

In Norwegian law it is freely translated that a violation of the law shall be punished in relation to the violation of the law. In our case this is completely out of all proportion as it is possible. As we are not punished for anything other than that we will not comply with an invalid and illegal decision.
Where we have built a wall that is not only pretty and functional.
But is a huge environmental gain as it is no longer dirty, wet, dirty and mollusk runs down the road as it did before.
It is now dry, pretty and a clear advantage and environmental gain where stormwater and everything negative is gone, completely!

The biggest "crime" one can commit is to go against the system!

Norway obviously cultivates the totalitarian, rigid and inhuman.
Imagine, we have built a shed that keeps bicycles and other things safe, dry and
It is used to delegitimize what we have built with lies and distortions.
Where they claim that we have a flat plot, but have themselves written that the level difference on our property is 5 meters.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2024/12/nr-3433-etter-plan-og-bygningsetatens.html

It is alarming that no one reacts to the fact that we should be punished in the harshest possible way for having upgraded our property!

The whole case against us is total madness, madness and downright Devilishness!
What we have built so far, as I have not actually finished the stairs the way I want them. In concrete/stone like our wall is.
Where stormwater and dirt are replaced with dry ground.
What else can you do to succeed in what you do?
Here we now have 188,500, - NOK outstanding after they stole our car.

These people within the public lie about everything, what they do not lie about.

Omit or embezzle everything that is to our advantage.
What is to our disadvantage, they amplify a thousand times.
These people are ruled entirely by darkness and evil.
Should one give in to such?
Never!

We are their bitterest enemies as we do not bow to PBE lies, narrative and discrimination!
The authorities in Norway, especially here in Oslo. There on us as their enemies as we will not obey their rigid and meaningless orders. Which are exclusively built on lies, deceit and unwillingness.
Whether we are their own civilian people means nothing, obey them or not, they are our enemies. These are evil and purely Devilish people of power.

It is Satan and his demons who work in and through PBE and the authorities!

Important not to be fooled here. As this is not normal behavior.
Here are so-called highly educated people who lie, distort the truth and do everything they can to prevent us from getting a wall, staircase and shed approved.
Others are allowed to do most things, we will be held accountable for minimal and insignificant violations.
Where we also make suggestions to resolve this conflict.
Where they don't even bother to answer.
More rotten and unfriendly than these people it is not possible to be and be!

Final comment:

Our case is really completely, completely insignificant?
Where we live 50 meters from the field. What we have built is not in the way or a nuisance to a single person.
What we have built is almost legal, which is why we have sent a proposal to PBE which they refuse to answer. Or take a position on, even though Norwegian law through, among other things, the Public Administration Act requires them to answer.
Here they can BREAK ALL THE LAWS THEY WANNA PUNISH US!

https://blog.janchristensen.net/2025/05/nr-3461-de-totalitre-kreftene-er-sterke.html

The punishment is merciless and diabolical, as these people are hateful, evil and obviously a bunch of psychopaths in their practice of their profession.
This is a bunch of Nazis in my eyes, which we will never in any way come to. Or are willing to bow to, never!
If you read about what a psychopath is like, also for that matter narcissists and other personality traits. As deviants, it fits perfectly with the people we have experienced and experienced within the public sphere.
Absolutely incredible that they are allowed to continue, and no one reacts!?

No. 1643: A preacher and pastor should not be remarried as a believer, but a husband of one woman!

No. 1643:

A preacher and pastor should not be remarried as a believer, but a husband of one woman!

Former Mission Secretary in PYM and preacher Hans Svartdahl made several couples who were remarried as believers realize that this was against the word of God, to separate! Picture by Hans Svartdahl

Titus 1. 5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you would put in order what was left undone and appoint elders in the cities, as I commanded you.
6 If so, he must be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children who are not accused of debauchery or rebellion.
7 An overseer must be blameless, a steward of God; not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drinking, not violent, not corrupt.
8 He must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, self-controlled, just, God-fearing, and sober-minded.
9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message we were taught, having the ability to teach in unadulterated terms and to be able to rebuke and refute those who contradict.

A husband of one wife—is this a one-time occurrence in the Word of God?

It is with great astonishment and with a certain degree of discouragement that I share this.
All truths in the Word of God, whether it be salvation, healing, holiness.
What it is, we find a common thread throughout the word of God where God means the same thing all the way.

Heb. 13. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes forever.

So also when it comes to no preacher and with responsibility should be divorced and remarried as a believer!

This is not something the Apostle takes out of thin air.

This is a biblical principle.

Through all covenants and also in the coming 1000-year kingdom.

It applies to the church, it applies to Israel. This is God's standard.

Ministry and remarriage

But still one has been divorced as a believer and one holds a ministry, then stricter criteria are set. There are several places in Paul's teaching that one should be the husband of one wife (see the Pastoral letters). What then?

James says in his letter chapter 3:1: "My brothers! Not many of you should become teachers! For we know that we will receive a stricter judgment".

The responsibility is very great to be a preacher. There is a big difference between being an ordinary church member and being a preacher.
It does not mean that one is more loved by God, but it has to do with being faithful to the area of ​​responsibility God has given one. I believe that God will forgive everyone and every sin. But here there are other things that must be taken into account, as a preacher one has a special responsibility. Would anyone in a secular context allow a pedophile to work with children?
No, of course not!

The Scriptures are equally clear that we should not allow a remarried preacher to preach to other people with a Pastoral and teaching responsibility. That one is an Evangelist as, among others, Frank Mangs was after he was divorced, we can allow.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2013/09/nr.html

But not to be ordained as a Pastor, Shepherd or elder. One should not be the leader of the flock and the herd, but be under some form of supervision.
But when one holds an office as a preacher, much is required. That is why James says that not many should be preachers. Therefore, a preacher cannot take liberties only at his own expense, he has a special responsibility to God and his fellow men.
Regarding marriage, it is not permitted for a preacher to remarry under any circumstances, then he disqualifies himself for the office he has been given. It is like an athlete cutting off his legs, he is no longer fit to be an athlete, even if he wants to. A preacher should be the husband of one wife, as we see Paul teaching time and time again. (1 Tim. 3.2 and Titus 1:6).

If something is unclear here, I recommend submitting a question to our blog or writing something there yourself. This should and should have been a common Christian understanding where remarried people were not allowed to travel around the country. There are spiritual powers, demonic ones that follow in the footsteps of loose sexual and moral life.

1.Tim. 4. 1. The Spirit clearly says that in the last times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings that come from evil powers. 2 They are deceived by lying hypocrites whose conscience is seared. 3 These people forbid people to marry and insist that they abstain from certain foods, although God created these things to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. 5 It is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

This is not about A and B Christians. Marriage is a God-given arrangement that also shows the relationship between Christ and the church. Therefore, it is in the very nature of this that such great demands are made. God stands behind his word, therefore this is a model of something even greater and richer. Our preold to Jesus and his relationship with us. Therefore, be careful both about who you marry and that you do not contaminate your life here. By living in accordance with the word of God here, the best condition is that you grow as a believer.

1 Thess. 4. 1. Finally, brothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus: As you received and learned from us how you ought to live and please God, and so you are already living, but you should make even greater progress in this! 2 For you know what orders we gave you from the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God - your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 each of you should know how to control his own wife in holiness and honor, 5 not in sensual desire like the Gentiles, who do not know God. 6 And no one should wrong or defraud his brother in these things. The Lord punishes all such things, as we have told you before and warned you about. 7 For God did not call us to impurity, but to holiness. 8 Therefore, whoever rejects this does not reject man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

We read that the scriptures give clear testimony about the priest in the old covenant how he should live, who was in the same responsibility before God and his fellow men as the preacher and overseer is in the new covenant. Leviticus 21:14: "A widow or a divorced woman or a woman defiled or a prostitute - these he must not marry. Only a virgin from his own people he must take as his wife."

We read that God gives the same testimony and demands the same from the Priest during the coming 1000-year kingdom who will serve the people in Jerusalem in Israel, where law and justice will come from. Ezekiel 44:22: “A widow or a woman divorced from her husband they shall not take as wives, but only virgins of the house of Israel. But a widow who is the widow of a priest they may take.”

If the Scripture is so clear regarding the priest in the old covenant and under the millennium, it is no less clear regarding the dispensation of the church, we who live under the most glorious and greatest privilege of all; “the husband of one wife.”

Just as the Scripture says that it is demonic and seductive to refuse a preacher and overseer to marry (1 Tim. 4:1), it is to come under the same negative conditions to accept and allow preachers to remarry while their spouse is alive.
It is only upon death that it can be right for an overseer to remarry again, and then to one who is not divorced!
Rom. 7. 2 A woman who has a husband is bound to him, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
3 If, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law of her husband, and is not an adulteress if she is married to another man.

Final comment:

A man should guard his own life above all else, says the scripture.

1 Tim. 4. 16 Pay attention to yourself and to the teaching; continue in it! For in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

It is like a red thread throughout the word of God, being a preacher or holding an office.
There are completely different requirements than for others. Where one of the requirements is to take care of the relationship in marriage and family.

1 Tim. 5. 17 An elder who proves himself capable is worthy of double honor, especially if he strives to teach the word
18 For the Scripture says, ‘You shall not muzzle an ox while it threshes out the grain.’ And, ‘The laborer is worthy of his wages.’ Deuteronomy 25:4, Luke 10:7
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
20 But a sinner rebuke him before all, that he may be a warning to others.

Here, as elsewhere, the scripture is clear.
It is consistent throughout the entire Word of God, to have an office of oversight.
Far stricter requirements are set than with others.
One of them is that one should not be divorced and remarried as a believer as far as I understand the scripture.
Must be the husband of one wife. Where one is bound as long as the other lives.
Also, several wives that we find among others. The Kings in the OT practiced, always led in a negative direction. Following God's word to the letter is what brings Blessing, not Curse.
We are to be head, not tail. Where we are to be above, not below for sin, the world and the flesh.

Deuteronomy 28. 13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will always be above and never below, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today to keep and do,
14 and if you do not deviate from any of the words that I set before you today, either to the right or to the left, to go after other gods and serve them.

No. 1642: Oslo is the city where the "Law of the Jungle" applies!

No. 1642:

Oslo is the city where the "Law of the Jungle" applies!

The capital of Norway has become a city where the "Law of the Jungle" applies!
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2025/06/nr-3473-her-i-oslo-er-junglenes-lov-som.html

Here in Oslo, does the "law of the jungle" apply?

Meaning and usage
Law and conduct that is based on the fact that the strongest is right, and beats down opponents or competitors brutally and ruthlessly.

We do not live in a democracy, especially here in Oslo, is that not what one associates with a well-functioning democracy?

How can I say it?
We have now been fighting against Oslo Municipality for over 10 years, where PBE has lied and distorted the facts as it suited them.

I come from Karmøy - which is not the Capital of Norway!

But here, on the other hand, there is democracy, where one is actually heard and taken into account.
Why doesn't this work in the Capital?
Here, all agencies and agencies overprotect each other to the point of being sick!
Cronyism and what is abuse of authority are widely practiced.
Then everything will be according to that!

We have a case where PBE claims we have a flat plot, therefore we should tear down the wall that was erected under the guidance of PBE verbally.
When we called down and were guided how to build.
We did as we had been guided.
Then they come up with the idea of ​​saying the wall is illegal because it does not fall on our property.
When they themselves say in the framework permit given when we built it is 5 meters.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2024/12/nr-3433-etter-plan-og-bygningsetatens.html
Since then, they have taken our car and are also demanding from us afterwards for 188,500, - kr.

Here, the authorities are free to just drive on.
Why?
Here in Oslo, does the law of the "jungle" apply?

Russian stamp from 2012, with Mowgli and his friends.

 

 

To me, Oslo appears to be a city where jealousy, greed and everything that is disgusting has free rein within most agencies, and possibly also elsewhere?
Unfortunately, too much of what is inviting and uplifting has disappeared here with no one standing up against such things we have experienced!
It is the opposite slogan than that you should not tolerate so fervently the injustice that does not affect you. Oslo is that, tolerate the injustice that affects you.
Do you have to tolerate that if you are going to live in the Capital?
For me, it is really far from Karmøy to Oslo for more than km.
But in decent behavior from those who are set to rule who expect only one thing. Blind obedience, something I have never ever experienced is like it is in Oslo on Karmøy. It should definitely not be like this, as all residents have the need to be both seen and heard. Whether you live in a small place, or in a big city!

No. 1641: Many new electric buses have arrived in Norway, but as far as I know, only Yutong has the batteries attached to the bus body!

No. 1641:

Many new electric buses have arrived in Norway, but as far as I know, only Yutong has the batteries attached to the bus body!

Where is the battery on a Yutong bus?
Thorough study of the vehicle's actual operating conditions, battery units are installed at the top, back and bottom of the bus body.
Why are most other electric buses, not least regular buses that I know best, placed on the roof?
This is really against all common sense. And here it is the Yutong buses that have not done this.
Strange that other buses are allowed to continue like this?
https://bussmagasinet.no/bedre-batteribeskletting-i-elbusser/

I drive a bus in Vestby now, and there we will have BYD buses with batteries on the roof.
But in Drøbak they will have Yutong buses with batteries on the floor.
These buses should have been standard buses in my opinion.
They are attached to the bus body itself.
Fantastic. Magnificent!
Picture of the fantastic Yutong bus they will have in Follo and which will run in Drøbak.
Picture Jan Kåre Christensen

 

At the other end we have the Solarius buses that Unibuss received in April 2023 which have 4 packs of batteries on the roof in the middle of the bus.
Drive axle at the back where they have 2 packs on the roof.
Is it that bad that it is possible to place batteries?
See picture for how the batteries are placed.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2024/02/nr-3345-solaris-tidsmaskinen-fra-helvete.html

In the tender competition, is it only money – not quality and safety that counts?

The buses will be far safer and in a difficult situation. Will the driver have a much greater chance of saving himself, the passenger and the bus with Una maneuver with a bus that has the batteries attached to the frame. A bus with the batteries on the roof. Is in a completely different way difficult to get back in.
This is what I learned on the slippery driving course where I tested buses with the batteries both on the roof and on the floor.

AI overview
Yes, there are electric cars with batteries placed in the floor. This is a common solution to lower the center of gravity and free up space in the bus. The batteries can be placed in a module in the floor, or in a chassis where the batteries are placed low.

Advantages:
Lower center of gravity: Provides better stability and driving characteristics, especially in corners.
More space: Frees up space in the bus that can be used for passengers or luggage.
Safety:
The batteries are placed in a robust chassis and can be designed to withstand fire and impact.
Efficient use of space:
The batteries can be stacked in modules to maximize capacity and range.

Final comment:

https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/3EvEde/buss-i-oslo-staar-bom-fast-paa-toerr-asfalt

I was on a slippery driving course and really got to try buses with the battery differently placed.
The batteries on the roof in a difficult situation were much more difficult to pull back in.
Even at a lower speed than the Yutong, which was a much better bus.
Then it is completely incomprehensible that this with the battery is not in the tender competition that they should be located in and around the framework.
So, as low as possible in the bus. And closest to the drive axles is also a clear advantage.
Here in Oslo, there are buses that spin on dry asphalt.
What is the reason?
One of the reasons, if it is also probably the main reason?
Is where the battery packs are located!

No. 1640: What makes you fit for marriage? At least two things, not having been married before and getting your own life and finances in order!

The church – not to mention the Pentecostal/charismatic – communities. Has possibly become the opposite of what Jesus meant where the profiled preachers are very good at it.
But many of the church members struggle with, among other things, consumer loans, apply in other ways. This is clearly not in accordance with God's good will.

Illustrative picture where this preacher, unfortunately like many others, did not live as he should.

 

I was out with a fairly newly saved brother who wanted to get married.
He was single!
I have had several conversations with men who are unmarried – single – but want to get married.
Where they fulfill the first by not being married as a believer.
That is the first, and most important.
Single in the biblical sense is not having been married as a believer.
Is this so important?
Yes, as believers we are bound to our spouse as long as that person lives.
It is only death – and only death! That gives access to a new marriage!
Rom. 7. 2 A woman who has a husband is bound to him, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
3 If, while her husband lives, she marries another, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law of her husband, and is no adulteress if she marries another.
1930 translation:
Rom. 7. 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law that bound her to her husband. 3 Therefore, if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

As a man according to the scriptures, one is the head of the family, and has responsibility for the economic and spiritual!

What is masculinity and being a man from a Christian perspective?
Here I have experienced that Christian men are let down by those who are leaders and who should have experience and make them disciples.
That is what the scriptures say, that discipleship is a pillar of the Christian faith.

Luke 6. 40 A disciple is not above his teacher. But when he is fully prepared, he will be like his teacher.

Now it is of course not the case that all men are let down by those who are older and more mature.
Unfortunately, there are far too many believing men who are not really fit for marriage and poorly suited.
Then with regard to carrying the responsibility that is entering into a marriage.
Where one as a man according to the scriptures is the head of the family and has responsibility for the economic and spiritual.

Even simple understandings of how to act as a man, many do not understand!

Now I have come across a number of single men who want and want to get married.
As believers, many of these are sincere in their Christian faith.
But the help, guidance and understanding one needs to enter into marriage is absent.
As mentioned, the scripture says:
"A disciple is not above his teacher. But when he is fully prepared, he will be like his teacher."

The Christian community is built so that one should TEACH AWAY, AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF THOSE WHO HAVE COME TO FAITH!

How does it work within the Pentecostal movement and the charismatic community that I know best?
Yes, there are certainly many who also receive help on several levels.
Who move forward in their spiritual and human development in a good and right way.
But far too many do not move forward.
They are not fit for the responsibility and what is needed to become and be a good husband.
They will possibly never become the head of the family as the man should be in a family from a Christian point of view?

We as believers should not exploit and exploit each other, but help and guide each other!

How do many Pentecostal/charismatic preachers act?

They really look healthy and charismatic.

Successful and appear to be unsurpassed!

It is the people who hear, support and pray for these who come to me and feel and experience that they are not enough.
They do not make it, and want to get married in many cases.
It is those who are either married or divorced who also make contact.
If they are in the minority for me.

We should help each other - but how?

Here is of course the 1000 kroner question.

This is of course individual, and here someone who is learning cannot always help fully.
Many steps must also be taken alone.
One can be a helper and conversation partner for help and blessing.
And pray with, and for each other.
Do not add to the burden, but help so that we all succeed in our lives.
Also here on earth, not just in "Heaven!"

Just understanding the system here in Norway - and taking ad Notam to it is a great help!

I believe that many believers do not get help from anyone.
Neither parents nor others.
Then one must actually learn to save to build up equity to be able to buy a house or apartment.
For many there are other solutions.
To give to well-fed predicates and congregations. And thus as if God will automatically help and provide for them, isn't that how it always works, right?
We should seek first the kingdom of God and learn to walk Here
