Why is the modern-day Church so pathetic and weak?

Why is the modern-day Church so pathetic and weak? It is very simple the pre-trip rapture false doctrine that was taught in the early 1800s has had catastrophic effects on the Church (it is worth mentioning this doctrine was not taught anywhere in history prior to the 1800s). Even Jesus didn’t know about it, when He was asked about the resurrection He referred to it as the last day, a specific day. Not some secret night snatching that takes place 7 years before His return (or which ever time frame you use).It was popularized by the Scofield reference bible in the early 1900s and took off into the ’70s and ’80s.Regardless of what you believe or have been taught this argument is not edifying to the Church because the false teachings go on and on. However, for this post, I would like to rebuke and address the results of this teaching and how it has effected the Church over the past century. My hope and prayer is to wake some of you up from this false teaching. This teaching has paved the way to an arrogant, self cent...

Are the Covid-19 measures and mandates causing more harm than good or are they justified?

Are the Covid-19 measures and mandates causing more harm than good or are they justified? I think it is time we have a real discussion on this topic and answer the hard questions. This question will not be asked on most other sites or mainstream media and we cannot even ask the question on social media as we all know why.How have the Covid-19 mandated measures effected you or your family?It needs to be in the public domain where everyone can have access, many have opted out of social media. Are Covid-19 related mandates such as Isolation, Emergency Orders, Schools, Lock-downs, Masking, etc causing more harm than good? Or, are they justified?

Calling the church to repentance (Pastors & Church leaders)

Calling the church to repentance (Pastors & Church leaders) Calling all Pastors and church leaders please join me in this prayer.We have failed you almighty GodWe have cowered in fear when we should have been a light to the world.We closed our churches and severed your people from the word of God.We told the world that Jesus was not essential by our actions.We have not emulated your requirements as a church leader or as a representative of Jesus.We have denied the faith and your Son by our actions, oh Lord.We have allowed ourselves to be overcome with fear and not the love of Jesus.We have only thought of ourselves Lord and not how this would affect our congregations or the community at large.We have not adhered or done as your word commands us to do and we allowed ourselves to operate in fear. We walked not as the light of the world, we covered our candle and hid our light and now the evil one can walk unhindered.We have not acted as leaders, we are not worthy of your great calling that has been placed upon us.We have done evil in your...

Astronomers detect water molecules swirling around a star

Astronomers detect water molecules swirling around a star (CNN) — A nearby star system is helping astronomers unravel the mystery of how water appeared in our solar system billions of years ago.Scientists observed a young star, called V883 Orionis, located 1,300 light-years away using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array of telescopes, or ALMA, in northern Chile.The star is surrounded by a planet-forming disk of cloud of gas and dust leftover from when the star was born. Eventually, material in the disk comes together to form comets, asteroids and planets over millions of years.A team of researchers used ALMA to measure chemical signals in the planet-forming disk, and they detected gaseous water, or water vapor. Their detection allowed the astronomers to trace the water’s journey from the gas clouds that formed the star and will eventually give rise to planets.Their findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, suggests that comets formed from the sun’s planet-forming disk could have brought water ...

Tolls And Traffic Rebound Before Transit

Published Sun, 01 Dec 2024 05:26:55 GMT

Tolls And Traffic Rebound Before Transit The state highway system is bringing in nearly as much money from tolls as it did before the COVID-19 pandemic hit three years ago.The Department of Transportation collected $215.9 million from motorists using tolled roads in the first two quarters of fiscal 2023, only $5 million less than the same span in fiscal 2019, the last full budget cycle before the public health emergency upended life and rewired work and travel patterns.With that year-to-date haul, MassDOT expects it will wrap up the year with 99 percent as much toll revenue as before COVID, an outlook chief financial officer David Pottier called “great news.”Recovery has been substantial, but not identical, across the various roadways where the state imposes charges on motorists.Comparing the first half of fiscal 2023 to the first half of fiscal 2019, toll revenues in the Boston-area Metropolitan Highway System (MHS), which includes the Central Artery, Sumner and Callahan Tunnels, and the Massachusetts Turnpike...

Louisville Metro Police Department uses ‘excessive force’ and ‘unlawfully discriminates against Black people,’ DOJ report says (CNN) — The Justice Department issued a scathing critique Wednesday on the Louisville Metro Police Department after a nearly two-year review it launched into the force following the botched raid that killed Breonna Taylor.The review, looking at whether the Louisville Metro Police Department used excessive force, found that officers use unreasonable tactics including unjustified neck restraints, police dogs and tasers. The report also found that the police department executes search warrants without knocking and announcing.“For years, LMPD has practiced an aggressive style of policing that it deploys selectively, especially against Black people, but also against vulnerable people throughout the city,” the report said.“LMPD cites people for minor offenses, like wide turns and broken taillights, while serious crimes like sexual assault and homicide go unsolved,” the report added. “Some officers demonstrate disrespect for the peopl...
