Democrats are having existential meltdowns over RFK's department issuing revised recommendations for Hepatitis B vaccines in children. Instead of the current recommendations that have Hospitals as a matter of course inject all infants with Hepatitis B vaccines on the day of their birth, the new recommendations are that infants whose mothers have Hepatitis B be given the vaccine for protection at birth, but the others who have no risk getting the disease, instead delay until 2-3 months after birth before getting the vaccine. Apparently this will cause all sorts of death and destruction according to dems. The reality is there's nothing wrong with the recommendations at all, and there's no reason we should be injecting newborn infants who are not at risk, with something that they don't need, on the day they're born.

24 hours after birth. The problem as explained to me is that people can be silent carriers of the virus which can be passed through breaks in the skin such as scrapes, scratches and minor cuts. Infants who get infected are at high risk for liver cancer, cirrhosis of the liver and chronic liver problems. Unless everyone who is going to handle the baby is tested, then it is unknown what the actual risk is. The risk of the vaccine versus infection is heavily weighted towards the infection.

What other view in chart form, Maria ?

Jesus is not interested in your culture, He is interested in your heart.

Can this be moved to the Incongruous Title sub fora?

And the vast majority of the time anti white racism is just stopping white people from being institutionally advantaged by society.

Because what you might call greed and what you might call justice may look very different from what I would call greed or justice. Our standards aren’t the same—and that’s exactly why Scripture warns us to be careful about judging the hearts and motives of others.

Jesus said plainly, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1). When we label someone as greedy, corrupt, or unjust, we may be stepping into territory God didn’t give us—the territory of judging motives we can’t see (1 Samuel 16:7).

Click to expand...

That’s taking what Jesus said in Matthew 7 out of context. What He was saying is don’t be a hypocrite, don’t judge others for unrighteousness if you yourself is unrighteous.

““Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

He’s illustrating judging others with taking the speck out of your brother’s eye. He’s not saying not to judge others, He’s saying don’t judge others without judging yourself. Get the beam out of your own eye before you judge others. Right after this He goes on to warn about false prophets and knowing how to identify them. This is another example of judging others by their actions or fruits.

““Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

After my husband divorced me, I struggled with depression. For a couple of years I've been siting next to a widower in Church. We are both elderly and he has recently moved into a flat for older people with a communal lounge and garden. Since then he has not seemed to want the sort of friendship I had been hoping for: a cup of coffee occasionally and maybe an afternoon out, for companionship and conversation.

Our Pastor spoke to me about my friendship with this man, thinking I wanted something more romantic than I do. There seems to be a complete disconnect between myself, my Pastor, and the man. As a result the man is going to other churches until after Christmas. I said if need be, I would change churches, but I really don't want to. (He's been a member for 40 years, so I would hate for him to have to change.)

Meanwhile my next door neighbour is having chemotherapy and I feel I need to tell her about the Lord. She's self-isolating atm so I can't visit her now. Also my very elderly cousin has Alzheimers and is against God. People's salvation is so important and I find it difficult to deal with all this.

Please pray that things get sorted out with this man and no-one will have to change churches. Also that the Holy Spirit will move in the lives of my neighbour, and my cousin, and I will have the courage to talk to my neighbour about the Lord.

Many thanks and God bless you.

Why don't you put some of your own words there instead and answer my question about how these Muslim immigrants will get past the Constitution and the majority of the voters.

When my kids were still growing up we did the typical trick or treating, fall festivals, and Halloween carnivals.

They got costumes when I could afford them. Sometimes they just got cheap makeup or a mask.

We watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

Now my oldest son and his wife do the same with their kids.

I don't think it is evil unless you make it evil. It's no worse than Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.

To the high priest Onias. Greetings!
21 It has been discovered in a written record that the Spartans and the Jews are relatives and are both of the family of Abraham. 22 Since we have learned this, please let us know how you are.

Which word or what version?



I already knew the answers anyway. Chat CPT is a language pattern recognition expert, and understanding the bible is all about language/concept/prophecy etc pattern recognition.

The part where Jews are relatives of Spartans.

I think what you are alluding to is how over time the values and morals have changed. We often hear the older generation speak of the values they had and like you said how they worked hard and sacrificed for a better life.

Something changed along the way and people lost that value. I think this is partly because we also lost God and church and family life. Those values go with such beliefs.

I think what has happened is that over time the State has replaced God and the family. A welfare State has been created and people have become dependent. That has affected their mindset where the value of hard work and achieving something is lost.

You mention the promised utopia that our leaders said would happen. Its turned out to be a nightmare. They tried to play God and be the creators of a new order on earth based on their own ideas and it failed. Any idea without God is going to fail.

So really the US and I think the western world are at a cross roads. The US has always been seen as the face of western ideals and values of freedom and democracy and human rights. But now it is collapsing. The western empire is collapsing as a result.

This is a pivotal point in our history and we can see the polarisation of sides with quite different ideas about how society and thye world should be ordered.

The chaos and hell that has come has caused many to question what is going on and how could our once peaceful and free nations could become so chaotic. I believe that this has caused people to go back to the fundemental truth principles that made Christian western nations so great.

But this could also escalate the divisions and hatred between the opposing sides. We have seen a rise in political violence and assassination attempts. Its not just in the US. But people are more willing to go out on the streets and use violence as a means.

So this is a very pivotal time, a make or brake time that will determine the future as to whether we will decend in further breakdown and completely collapse. Or begin to turn things around to make a better future for our children.

But I truely believe what will achieve this is to return to those truth principles like Rule of Law, the rights and freedoms of belief and speech and that we are not the gods of our own world because we always mess it up.

I was in a pentecostal group prayer couple times surrounded by people falling and wriggling on the floor and felt absolutely NOTHING even though I'm praying.

Eventually, the group thought I'm possessed by an evil spirit so they all surrounded and laid their hands on me and I still felt nothing. If I'm actually possessed, that would mean the group have absolutely no power over the spirit that's possessing me or lack the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in them. Either way, it's bad.

Click to expand...

I don't think you are possessed. I've had similar experiences with Pentecostals. They accused me of being demonically oppressed or that there was a satanic stronghold in me. They have accused me of not being a true believer, lacking in faith, or not being ready for their level of faith and relationship with the Lord.

I believe they are wrong. I think they confuse their own emotions and neurological reactions to their spirituality with the Holy Spirit. They think those who don't experience the same are less than or possessed/oppressed/nonbelievers.

Contine to hold onto that word despite what you see. If it's from God it is rock solid. Praying for your mother and you.

Ave, María, grátia plena,
Dóminus tecum.
Benedicta tu in muliéribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

LoricaLady, I think what you do in raising awareness of the persecuted church is amazing. We are using the Open Doors watchlist at Church, so I am praying with them, but I love the fact that you raise the issue here. Bless you.

Also your OP here. Praying for you.

Do you have a copy of your divorce decree? If not you should be able to get a new copy from the courthouse, or wherever it is stored at your location.

That is your proof that you were married. You got married, and it ended. You have the freedom to heal, grow, and move on with your life, whatever that might be.

Get your mind grounded in reality, but do it in a healthy way.

12/07/25 Day 4

O St. Lucy, whose name proclaims the radiance of light, we approach you with humble confidence to seek your holy intercession. Obtain for us, through your prayers, that sacred illumination which guides our souls away from the shadows of sin and leads us toward the brightness of virtue.

Obtain for us also these petitions which we offer to you in this novena:

[Mention your petitions now]

We beseech you, St. Lucy, through your powerful advocacy before the throne of the Lamb, the protection of our eye sight, and for the grace to employ our eyes always in service of God’s glory and never for that which offends His divine majesty.

Help us to perceive with clarity the truths of our faith and the needs of our neighbor, that we may walk steadfastly in the light of Christ and labor earnestly for the salvation of souls.

Pray for us, St. Lucy, that having honored you as our advocate in this earthly pilgrimage, we may one day behold with you the eternal splendor of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose divine light all shadows flee away forever. Amen.

Genesis 3:9-15, 20

“I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid.”



Fear (evil) is the cause of all our separations from God.

Fear; anguish, worry, anxiety…



Luke 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel says to Mary, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.”



God greets us in this way every day.

It's not a mystery at all. I've given plenty of information on what I think the Christian Faith is (in line with the Nicene Creed), and I've been doing so for over 15 years on these forums.

The truth is not a thing, it's actually a person and He is the Lord Jesus. He has proclaimed the awful truth of the gospel. His gospel is the worst news that unbelievers will ever hear in their lives, because the message is that eternal torment in hell awaits them, unless they repent.

So the gospel is the best news ever to people lie myself and it's the worst news to unbelievers. So it's not good news to everyone as you falsely claim, it to be.
