Chapter 1 - Introduction

The aim of my website is to share something of my recognitions about God's love, and which could be helpful for community, which is labelled by Gerald Kluge as 'Holic group' (in German: Holic-Gruppe). I am a former member of this group.

My website is dedicated to the topic about LOVE, because I don't share community's understanding about it and I see it as a starting point for several unbiblical interpretations, that have led community to hate their enemies and have led them also to the inner crisis.

My further arguments and proposals for thinking over some needful questions are based on the the Bible passages mentioned in introductory part (Mt 5:38-48 and 1 Cor 13). My creed is, that just these two passages are together the core teaching of New Testament about LOVE, and all further interpretations about LOVE must be interpreted in accordance with Mt 5:38-48 and 1 Cor 13.

Many of my following thoughts are copied from my own comments sent to the blog: http://followchrist2.blogspot.com/. In several points these comments are modified, in order to make my ideas, arguments more clear and suitable for the format of this website. All quotations of the Bible are taken from The Holy Bible: New International Version.

My critique here doesn't claim to be the ultimate truth about the community. These are my thoughts AD 2011, which in many points have been changed since the time of exclusion in 2006. A lot of new information about the destiny of excluded ones and also open dialogue about the Bible with other Christians outside the community have given me chance to compare different points of views and helped to reconstruct the picture, as it seems for me the most logical one and the most presumptive by now. 

I recommend to read also blogs of other excluded ones, because the opinion about community varies in persons. Also community's topics and J.A.'s apology are useful to read, to get the whole context of my quotations. All the links to blogs and other above mentioned texts are given under the title 'WWW' of my website.

I am open for dialogue about my thoughts, opinions. These are not outsiders, who don't want to have a dialogue with community. It's community's turn to open themselves, to make their discipleship less anonymous to the whole world, awaking thereby more trust among outsiders, who don't know anything about this community.

May God guide and bless our community.

May God give His love to community,
