"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments"... Luke 16:23 There are many people today who do not believe in what I am about to share or even if they believe they have a watered down understanding.. So let me say this real quick, the doctrine of Hell remain the same just as Jesus preached it. See. "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell". Matthew...

The misguided way our generation has been taught in church about the Love of God, is best typified by by a famous anecdote about the death of a very prominent poet and Atheist, Heinrich Heine in 1856. When He was asked by a Priest, on his deathbed, what if He had been wrong about God, as an atheist? He replied, “Gott wird mir vergeben, das ist seine Aufgabe””, or in English “God will forgive me, that is his job“.A good many modern Evangelicals and mainstream Christians in general have been taught false doctrines such as “self esteem” , “Unconditional love”,...

During Tuesday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) weighed in on the developing feud between former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Friday delivered a monologue aimed at Facebook for radicalizing Americans. According to Scarborough, Facebook has “set up algorithms that radicalize people.” He called for the social media giant to be “thrown into the free market system” and “broken up.”

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain said Monday that liberals like Katie Couric and others who had called for the "deprogramming" of some Donald Trump supporters could "go to hell." McCain said she thought there would be a stronger desire for unity from Democrats in the aftermath of President Biden's election win, but she said the language from liberals had been more concerned with dehumanizing Trump supporters, which she called dangerous for Democrats and the country. Couric and several others, including McCain's "The View" colleague Sunny Hostin, have referred to Trump backers as "brainwashed" or in need of "deprogramming" in the...

The Canadian military has launched an administrative review and is considering disciplinary action after a Toronto-area reservist appeared in uniform and spoke at an anti-pandemic lockdown rally over the weekend. Appearing before the rally, cadet officer Lesley Kenderesi warned against what he described as "a killer vaccine" and said it was "criminal" to administer it to people. He urged members of the Armed Forces — truck drivers and engineers who would be involved in transporting the life-saving vaccine — not to follow what he claimed would be an "unlawful order" to distribute the vaccine. The Department of National Defence has...

It’s very sad when you see someone wasting away due to their own poor choices in life. Quite often nowadays, I see reports in the news about people being arrested for their 5th, 6th, 7th (or more) drunken driving offense. And we’ve all seen mug shots of those arrested on drug charges… and the photos showing the progression of someone that took the one-way downward spiral using heroin or Methamphetamine. Those images are haunting. They begin with a young, happy, vibrant, bright-eyed, healthy young man or woman, and each one that follows becomes more and more disturbing. In the end,...

Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Qantas has undertaken some of the most sweeping actions of any major airline – grounding much of its long-haul fleet and drastically reducing its route network. Now, the Australian carrier might have just set a new standard for travel in the post-COVID era as its C.E.O. declared in an interview with the television program, “A Current Affair,” that the airline is looking into options to change its terms and conditions. “For international travelers,” Joyce said, “we will ask people to have a vaccination before they can get on the aircraft.”

From subway attacks to shootings, violent crime is surging in New York City -- a startling reversal after years of record declines. On Thursday, a 40-year-old woman was shoved onto the subway tracks in Manhattan's Union Square station just before a train pulled in. She fell between the rails and a row bed, police said, escaping with minor injuries. A suspect was immediately arrested. Hours earlier on Wednesday night, a man was shoved onto the tracks of the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station by a panhandler after refusing to give him money, authorities said. The victim was able to get back...

(CNN) There has been a "staggering" rise in natural disasters over the past 20 years and the climate crisis is to blame, the United Nations said Monday. Researchers pointed to a failure of political and business leaders to take meaningful action to mitigate the impact of climatic change and stop the planet from turning into "an uninhabitable hell for millions of people." Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 1 million people and infected at least 37 million, has exposed the failure of "almost all nations" to prevent a "wave of death and illness" despite repeated warnings from...

Francis smiled when receiving the shirt.However: In...

I was listening to a Q&A podcast the other day at the gym and one of the questions was the familiar, “Why would a loving God send people to Hell?”Sometimes this question is asked by a person who is genuinely struggling to reconcile God and eternal punishment. Sometimes the question is posed by a hatetheist who has no interest in a real answer but is rather more concerned with throwing out a gotcha question whose answer (hopefully) helps solidify their already-decided position of non-belief. As I listened to the podcast, it occurred to me that in all the years I’ve...

Have you read the headlines lately? They are a consistent and unmitigated chronicle of the slow-motion train wreck of the United States of America, as it sputters and spasms its way to the grave. Everything that surrounds us is fake, a cardboard cutout of what used to be life in the greatest country on the face of the earth. Sports Illustrated is proudly featuring a man named Valentina Sampaio pretending to be a woman as its 2020 face of beauty, and it perfectly represents the end times freak show that our nation and our society has become. As millions cheer,...

Posted on June 17, 2020 by Msgr. Charles Pope Seven Teachings on Hell From St. Thomas Aquinas The teachings of the Lord on Hell are difficult, especially in todayÂ’s climate. The most difficult questions that arise relate to its eternal nature and how to square its existence with a God who is loving and rich in mercy.1. Does God love the souls in Hell? Yes.How could they continue to exist if He did not love them, sustain them, and continue to provide for them? God loves because He is love. Although we may fail to be able to experience...

**SNIP** Secession is considered treason by mobs hauling down Confederate statues in other cities, but it’s the very basis of CHAZ, Seattle’s separate “autonomous zone.” Signs at the barricades read “Property of the People” and “Leaving USA.” But from a video tour of the new country, it doesn’t look promising so far. Solomon Simone, a 30-year-old dreadlocked artist whose nom de guerre is Raz, is the self-styled leader of the 300 or 400 CHAZians. Critics call him a “warlord.” But it’s been discovered that he sent out ugly homophobic tweets several years ago, so he could be deposed. Raz claims...

[Catholic Caucus] Holy Saturday: The Harrowing of Hell (Let the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, speak to us, console us, and edify us as The Blessed Mother surely did in the Cenacle as she awaited the fulfillment of her Son’s promise, never doubting for an instant, despite the horror of the previous day, that He would do as He said He would.)From the descent of Christ to hell we may learn, for our instruction, four things:1. Firm hope in God. No matter what the trouble in which a man finds himself, he should always put trust in God’s help and...

Thou shalt not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14We are in the second table of the Law of God. This is the part which is summed up in this commandment, “You Shall Love Your neighbor as Yourself”. The first table is about how we are to Love God, the second, is about loving our fellow man. We are to love his life, and not to murder him, hate him. seek to diminish him, belittle or insult our neighbor in any way, for these are all forms of murder. We are also to love his marriage. Marriage is sacred, it’s sanctity is protected...

What would I say , if I was given a chance to totally communicate freely with everyone I have ever loved; My brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, acquaintances, former church members, even my enemies ? What would I say if I was given a chance to before I die to put into the barest form, what I long for you to realize? What are my essentials? I believe I should be succinct. I will give you seven things I hope you don’t die without knowing personally, First of all; That Jesus died for us as a substitute, on the cross. I...
