For those who do not understand the blind loyalty of people who follow the Climate Change crusade, you must understand that to them it is nothing short of a religious belief. That’s right; Climate Change is a religion whose god is Mother Earth. For leftist politicians, it’s just another means to control the masses, but the religious aspect of Climate Change is ultimately how they are able to convince so many people that it truly does exist and man is responsible for creating it.To really explain what it is I mean, I need to first define the term religion. Then...

The Turin Shroud has been at the center of debate for centuries with many believing it was the cloth used to wrap Jesus's body after the crucifixion. ====================================================================== Scientists are inching closer to determining whether the famed Turin Shroud is indeed the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped. Experts have now stated that the linen can be traced back to the beginning of the AD era, aligning with the time when Jesus was crucified. The shroud, which bears a faint outline of a bearded man believed to be an imprint left by Jesus's body, was first displayed in 1350 and...

I give England until the end of 2025 at the latest before it is no longer recognizable. Don't laugh; I give the U.S. until the end of 2027 at best, but that is a whole other column. The Church of England has apparently joined the pronoun movement. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone, but it is still a shame. According to a report in the Telegraph, the Church has decided to stop using the word "church" in order to be more modern. I don't know what word they will use. Lodge? Club? Association? The...

That places parading as “churches” have handed themselves over to Satan and his legion of homosexual sycophants isn’t exactly breaking news anymore. These dens of iniquity, teeming with demonic influence, proudly flaunt their “gay pride” as if it were a divine mandate—as if the Apostle Paul himself had commanded us to boast in nothing but Christ. But no, in these darkened corners, homosexuality is their god, their twisted version of deity. But this might be one of the worst I’ve ever seen. When you visit their website, the first thing you’re bombarded with are disgusting images of women decked out...

My dear friends, once America's restraint is totally and fully removed from this present evil world, what is to stop the global lawless march to doomsday and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse's ride (2 Thess. 2:2-8, Rev. 6-19)! My friends, a very sobering NOTHING! That is right, NOTHING! We are at the bottom of the super accelerating vortex in world's history, where there is no more time, room and remedies to fix our nation and world's horrific EXPONENTIAL ills. I totally know to point out such realities makes me a villain to many and a spiritual liberator to very...

[Catholic Caucus] Catholics Who Profess Communism are ApostatesOn July 13, 1949, Pope Pius XII issued a decree stating that Catholics who advocate Communism are excommunicated from the Catholic Church. This decree applies today. 1 The decree doesn’t explicitly condemn those who vote for Communists or who support the Communist Party, but excommunicates those who hold to the atheistic doctrines of Communism. The Church judges such persons to be apostates. The 1949 decree 2 was preceded by a previous Vatican decree published by L'Osservatore Romano on July 15, 1948, which excommunicated those who propagate "the materialistic and anti-Christian teachings of Communism."Moreover,...

Many of us start thinking about what we’ll name our future children when we’re basically still children ourselves. With youthful-yet-earnest contemplation, many young people choose the names of their future sons and daughters based on such things as an inspiring book character, a beloved geographical location, or (cringe) the pop culture craze of their era. Some people go on to give their children the names they’ve held dear over the years. Others lament when their spouses put the kibosh on a favorite moniker. Yet others discover that life’s unexpected circumstances steer them toward names they hadn’t considered for their child...

This is the first time I have ever shared this in whole, I have however shared portions before. I offer this thesis as it was presented to my Church History professor in 2008, minus the bibliography or credits. This is somewhat long, but I have been told by others it flows well, so it doesn't seem as long. I'll let you decide if that is true. Mind you, I was not as polished at writing back then, so if you see any egregious errors in my punctuation or grammar you will know why. I pray everyone enjoys it, and please...

Rebecca Lavrenz, known as the “J6 Praying Grandma,” has been sentenced to 12 months of probation, including six months of house arrest, and ordered to pay the largest misdemeanor fine in U.S. history for her involvement in the January 6th Capitol protests, The National Pulse can report. Lavrenz, 72, was found guilty of four federal misdemeanor charges related to her participation in the protest against the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, which amounted to walking into an open door at the U.S. Capitol and praying in the tourist areas.

Jewish Scholars Say Amazing Things About Islam - COMPILATION

Hey, Tim Walz isn’t so bad. In an age when leftists compete with one another in how much they can repudiate and mock traditional values, it is surprising and refreshing to discover that the Democrats’ shiny new vice-presidential candidate, America’s dad, is a regular churchgoer. Walz’s Christian piety, however, is not exactly the sort of thing that would put you in mind of Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, Mother Theresa, or any other prominent Christian you’d care to name. In fact, it’s just the sort of thing you’d expect: the far left at prayer. The Daily Caller reported Wednesday that Democratic...

[Catholic Caucus] The Vatican got almost everything wrong in its weak response to the Olympic blasphemyThe ceremony was not merely an offense against Christians; it was an offense against God. What the Vatican handled as a breach of good manners was in fact a deliberate blasphemy, a violation of God’s first commandment.(Catholic Culture) — What’s wrong with the Vatican statement on the Olympic blasphemy? Nearly everything.Start with the timing. More than a week passed between the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics and the release of the tepid Vatican response. During that week thousands of people had expressed their shock...

It has to be affirmed at the outset that we cannot impose Christianity at the point of a sword. Our weapons are not carnal (2 Cor. 10:4-5). But our weapons are in fact mighty, and after they pull down strongholds, and a Christian consensus develops as a result of effective evangelism and church planting, we find that we still have these swords. What shall we do with them? So absolutely, swords do not create Christians. But can Christians create righteous swords? Can anything be done with these things? The issue is not whether swords can make men Christian. They cannot....

In 2014, Susan Stryker, an MTF transgender Professor Emerita of Gender and Women’s Studies from the University of Arizona, published an essay entitled “My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage.”* In it, Stryker declares, “I am a transsexual, and therefore I am a monster.” Stryker, identifies with the monster in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, whose war against his maker leaves a trail of carnage and death. Stryker seeks to detonate his “rage and revenge” against “the naturalized heterosexual order,” against “traditional family values,” and against the “hegemonic oppression” of God’s creation by sabotaging...

The CEO of Intel prompted mixed reactions for posting a verse from Proverbs on Sunday after announcing that more than 15% of the tech company's workforce will be laid off amid its plummeting share price. "Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways," Pat Gelsinger posted to X, quoting Proverbs 4:25-26. Gelsinger drew criticism from some X users who mocked him for "praying" and accused him of "resorting to religion to save the company." "Have you even asked yourself how...
