Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

No, maybe not the first goal, but being a Christian should mean at least in part entrusting Jesus to deliver you not only from the penalty of sin but the power of sin too.

Fact Check: Is Mamdani Introducing Arabic Numerals To New York Schools?​

It appears to stem from a misunderstanding—or a deliberate attempt to provoke controversy or generate ridicule—by using a term that some readers may find unfamiliar even though it refers to the numbers Americans already use. But some social media users may have taken it seriously.

The claim caused a stir online, with some X users condemning Mamdani.

[Including pardoned convicted J6 felon and current West Virginia state House member Derrick Evans.]

The Ruling​

False.

Mamdani has not said he will introduce Arabic numerals to New York schools.

But…..they already use Arabic numbers yes, I know that’s the point

Seems unbelieveble but the U.S. Coast Guard changed its policy on Swastikas.

The share of electrics in new truck sales, from 8% in 2024 to 28% by August 2025, has more than tripled as prices have fallen.

Diesel consumption in China is down 11% year over year.

CATL plans to build truck battery swap stations on nearly 100,000 miles of Chinese freeways.

"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

The Lord Jesus Christ felt so strongly about this place that "doesn't exist", that He suggested the cutting off and plucking out of body parts, if that's what it took to keep you from going there.

And while in the process of encouraging self mutilation, He said not a single word about
"annihilation". But rather, repeated three separate times "where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched"

I don't mean to be unkind. I love you all, and with all the love of Christ within me. And it is because of that love that I humbly say to you. You better give heed to His words. You better stop arguing amongst yourselves and hear the words of the Master Himself. He created Hell, do you think He might just have some kind of an idea what He's talking about?

There are some of you who for whatever reasons will insist that the One person in all of human history who never spoke anything but the truth, for He is Truth, did not mean what He was plainly saying. To you I say, regardless of your level of education, you are a fool. Repent of your nonsense before you become a damned fool.
Father have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Holy Spirit lift the veil.

Delvianna, did you understand my hint ? Another hint, church members are called the elect by Jesus and the Apostles and also in the prophets. As far as I know no other people were called the elect except ancient Israel. GOD did chose ancient Israel as the elect of the old covenant but Christians are the elect in the new covenant. In times past, before Jesus, GOD worked with people from Able to Christ. Remember there were saints raised from the dead when Jesus was thus indicating there were indeed saints before Jesus. Matthew 27:52-53 This passage creates a mystery for many people. Hebrews 1:1-2 it was only in the last days that GOD now only works through Jesus but before this GOD worked through the prophets to the “fathers” , this would be the root of the olive tree in Romans 11 and the people mentioned in Hebrews 11 . Jesus said Abraham rejoiced to see my day and saw it and was glad. Abraham and all the people in Hebrews 11 saw things afar off, Hebrews 11:13 and GOD even preached the gospel to Abraham, Galatians 3:8 We are of the same faith as Abraham except we are on the other side of Christ, they knew what we know before Christ and we after Christ, but its still the same Christ. Remember, the church is built on the foundation of the prophets and the Apostles, Christ the cornerstone, and this entire structure is a the dwelling place for GODS spirit. This is what I believe GOD has taught me through the mediator Jesus. According to what I read in scripture GODS Holy Spirit is the only teacher of HIS church through the mediator Jesus Christ as Jesus said. John 6:44-45 Isaiah 54:13 1 John 2:27 John 14:26 John 16:13 Even though these words are very plain why do so many not believe them ? The warning of a great deception has been given that in the last days perilous times would come. There are numerous verses of scripture that tell us this. However, if only GODS spirit through Jesus is our teacher then it would not be possible to deceive the elect.

He had major power over people. And could have been under the influence of drugs. While detaining people, that behaved better then he did.

I doubt it will happen. My opinion only.

Following the reaction to the new Vatican document Mater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful People”), Father Maurizio Gronchi, a Christology expert and consultant to the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, warned that considering the Virgin Mary as “Co-Redemptrix” or “Mediatrix” distorts the Christian faith and leads to a superstitious view.

“It is superstition to think that the Virgin Mary has the role of holding back God’s wrath. Whoever thinks this way is not in accordance with the Gospel,” Gronchi told ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.

The expert spoke about the new document this week alongside Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In the text, the Vatican urges the faithful against using the titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix” to refer to the Virgin Mary.

In thinking on the murder of Charlie Kirk, something jumped out at me. How many - and I personally saw it dozens of times - rushed out and with almost joyful sneering pointed out that Kirk died while defending gun rights. The point was supposed to be irony. You get it, right? He was all about gun rights, and then he was killed by a gun - Ha! That'll teach him!

But did it ever occur to them that he was aware of the possible dangers of his very position, yet he held it anyway because he actually believed what he stood for? That he was willing to even die for his cause?

As so many rushed out with that supposed gotcha take-down, and so more many nodded ascent and gave thumbs up when it was said, all I could marvel at is how someone willing to stand by a conviction even if they died for it was so foreign to these people. How standing firm on a cause even to the point of the greatest sacrifice apparently wasn't even on their radar screen as a possibility.

I thought of those as I saw this:

Thank you. Glory to God.

Beyond the archaeologist’s interpretation of the biblical passage, Christian tradition already pointed to Kursi as the site of the miracle, reflected in the ruins of a 5th-century Byzantine Basilica, known as the «Chapel of the Miracle,» on the hill overlooking the port. Some scholars see the representation of pigs in the remains of its mosaic.

(ZENIT News / Kursi, 11.17.2025).- Dr Scott Stripling, director of excavations for the Association for Biblical Research, reported on the combination of textual clues, geography and ruins in the city of Kursi, Israel, where the exorcism of the Legion of demons and the subsequent infestation of pigs in Gadara, described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, most likely took place.

The town of Kursi is located on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Dr Stripling used information from a 1985 excavation that documented dozens of ancient ports along the Sea of Galilee, including Kursi. This port had enormous stone breakwaters and a large fishpond. «From the port, every biblical detail fits within a 200-meter radius,» the archaeologist commented.

The research identified three geographical clues present in the three Gospels: a steep cliff near the water, a nearby cemetery, and Jesus’ arrival by boat from the western shore. These three elements converge at Kursi, which has a cliff less than 50 meters from the shore, a hill with ancient Jewish tombs, and the discovery of a Roman-era port partially submerged in the lake.
