HOSANNA TO THE SON OF PERDITION! YOUTHS BUILD ‘ROME’S KINGDOM’

The theme for 2025 year’s GYD is “ACT: A Community Transformed,” is a call to action that goes beyond a simple slogan. According to General Conference youth leaders, the theme represents the church’s response to God’s Great Commission, which emphasizes that He is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9, NKJV).

Men and women of experience should understand that this is a time of especial danger for the young. Temptations surround them on every hand; and while it is easy work to float with the current, the strongest effort is required to press against the tide of evil. It is Satan’s studied effort to secure the youth in sin, for then he is more sure of the man. The enemy of souls is filled with intense hatred against every endeavor to influence the youth in the right direction. He hates everything which will give correct views of God and our Saviour, and his efforts are especially directed against all who are placed in a favorable position to receive light from heaven. He knows that any movement on their part to come in connection with God, will give them power to resist his devices. Those who are at ease in their sins, are safe under his banner. But as soon as efforts are made to break his power, his wrath is aroused, and he commences in earnest his work to thwart the purpose of God, if possible. CE 26.3

Who are the poor according to Pope Francis? THEY CAN’T BREATHE! ‘ The Poor and the fragility of the planet’

The environmental responsibility initiative calls for a clause requiring that the Swiss economy – including what it imports – “operates within the limits of the planet”.

“Isolated” breathing crisis on Friday : Pope ‘resurrects’ after breathing crisis, Vatican says

While the exact scope of how this would be achieved is left open by the initiative text, it names six areas to be focussed on: climate, biodiversity, water consumption, land usage, atmospheric pollution, and the usage of pesticides.

+ Switzerland: small country, big carbon footprint

The text also demands a “socially acceptable” implementation within 10 years of being voted on.

A total of 100,000 signatures are needed to force a public vote in the Swiss direct democracy system. As such, if federal authorities validate the 105,000 signatures, and if parliament doesn’t come up with a compromise that would convince the campaigners to withdraw the initiative, the population will vote on it.

[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! [15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

John 19 : 14-15

The text is also supported by the main Green Party, the left-wing Social Democrats, the Greenpeace association, and various climate protection groups and scientists.

A previous campaign by Swiss environmental campaigners, demanding net zero carbon emissions by 2050, was withdrawn last October after parliament came up with a counter-proposal.

Adventist Young People Challenged to Transform Communities on Global Youth Day, March 15

The March 15^th day will see thousands of young people serving and spreading Jesus’ Love through community outreach.

March 9, 2025 | Miami, Florida, United States | Libna Stevens, Inter-American Division News

Thousands of Seventh-day Adventist young people around the world will engage in service projects in their communities on March 15, 2025, as part of this year’s Global Youth Day (GYD).

The annual initiative, led by the youth ministries department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, inspires young people to step out of their comfort zones and “Be the Sermon” by showing the love of Jesus through acts of kindness wherever they go.

Pope of the Poor Makes Big Impact in Africa!

“Our young people across Inter-America are excited to make a meaningful impact in their communities and cities with purpose and passion,” said Pastor Al Powell, youth ministries director for the Inter-American Division (IAD).

Global Youth Day activities planned across IAD’s 25 unions, or church regions, will include feeding and praying for individuals in homes, cities, and rural communities; cleaning and refurbishing parks; sharing messages of hope through social media and group texts; visiting the sick in hospitals, orphanages, and nursing homes; reaching out to those in prison; reconnecting with former church members; and more, explained Powell.

Global Youth Day also marks the beginning of Youth Week of Prayer across more than 24,000 churches and congregations in the IAD. During this week, young people will have the opportunity to actively preach from pulpits and lead small group ministries, Powell added.

“We are thrilled that once again, our young people will have the chance to make a meaningful difference in their own lives and in the lives of others,” Powell said. “This is your time to go and transform our communities with Jesus’ love.” In a social media video message to youth, Powell encouraged, “Find your friends, bring all your energy, and join us on March 15th. Let’s work together to make a real difference.”

Pope Francis invites young people to be ‘God’s answer’ to a hopeless world

Launched in 2013, Global Youth Day’s vision is to reaffirm Adventist youth as a global movement mobilized for service, contributing to the proclamation of the everlasting gospel and preparing the world for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

A great crisis is coming upon us. If men still yield to men, as they have been doing for the last fifteen years, they will lose their own souls, and their example will lead others astray. God’s soldiers must put on the whole armor of God. We are not required to put on human armor, but to gird ourselves with God’s strength. If we keep God’s glory ever in view, our eyes will be anointed with the heavenly eyesalve; we will be able to look deeper, and see afar off what the world is. As we discern its dishonesty, its craftiness, its selfish eye service, its pretence, and its boasting, its want of fair honest dealing in the ordinary intercourse of life, and its grasping covetousness, we can take our stand, by precept and example, to represent Christ, and convert <souls from> the world by our sound principles, our firm integrity, our hatred of all dissembling, and our holy boldness in acknowledging Christ.
Do not let the world convert you 11LtMs, Lt 4, 1896, par. 40 – 11LtMs, Lt 4, 1896, par. 41

Nature Worship “Spiritualism” : North Dakota Old Men Dream Deceptions to Children’s Children about Mother Earth_Our Lady

“Mother Earth will take care of her children as long as we take care of her”

Our Grandmothers speak out for Mother Earth

March 7, 2025

In memory of Alicja RozanskaFrom left: Alice Gibson (Mohawk), Audrey Shenandoah (Onongaga), Jeannie Shenandoah (Onondaga), and Alicja Rozanski (Kaszebe/Polish).

By Danny Beaton

After our old Elders bring us into the Sacred Circle and Ceremony, our journey and life can take shape in the ways of our ancestors and healing way of life. Without our Elders, spiritual leaders, and teachers, it is hard to find our true strength and harmony in everyday life. Our ancestors gave us so much to move forward with in oneness with Creation and the natural world. In everyday life, the old Elders taught us to be Thanksgiving people.

[2] Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? [3] Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

Joel 1 : 2-3

“You have to walk in 'your' moccasins 'first' to understand our values and Way of Life.”

Tom Porter, Spiritual Elder of the Mohawk Community of Kanatsiohareke and member of the Bear Clan of the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne, once said, “You have to walk in your moccasins first to understand our values and Way of Life.”

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Deuteronomy 8 : 3

Copy the way of life our Elders

All our Elders had to do was be themselves in everyday life, and when we were gathered in our Sacred Circle, the offerings were put into our Sacred Fire. The words, songs, and prayers would follow, so all the young people had to do was copy the way of life our Elders were living through our sacred ceremonies.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.1 Corinthians 10 : 20

After the Four Directions were acknowledged and all of our Elders had made their offering to our Sacred Fire, we would begin preparations to have breakfast, and afterwards Sacred Council would begin. Our oldest Elders would begin the day by sharing the culture of their homelands and bring greetings from their territories and birthplace. All Elders from across Canada and the USA at our ceremonies were focused on natural life, natural world, and all Creation was our family and extended family. Most important for our gatherings was to restore our culture and ceremonies to our communities, which were being affected by negativity and outside forces, such as a health crisis among Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Our youth had a chance to experience Elders from the Four Directions of Turtle Island come together to give Thanksgiving and honour all the life-giving forces of nature and all our relatives, fish, animals, insects, winged beings, relations, extended family, earth, air, fire, water, Mother Earth’s Blood.

Everyone who was there knew we were in a sacred place and it was a sacred time

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Isaiah 54 : 15

Our gatherings and ceremonies were the best place for our people to be with Elders from that generation that knew many original instructions and Traditions to share and pass onto to our youth and people. In the old days when we gathered to listen to our Elders, they knew this would carry our way of life forward and help restore our traditions. The year we gathered in Onondaga Territory, New York, in 1990, was my first year with our Elders, Chiefs, and Clan Mothers. It was so important for us to restore our culture and restore ourselves. Everyone who was there knew we were in a sacred place and it was a sacred time.

Vatican calls for a cultural revolution to fight climate change

In reality, all of our gatherings and ceremonies are for peace, healing, Thanksgiving, and to Honour the Life-Giving Forces, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Every time we gathered, it was a oneness with Mother Earth. Our Elders never stopped being humble and gentle. Once our sacred councils began, our old ones would walk to the Sacred Fire, make their offering, then begin to share their thoughts and feelings about what was happening back home on their reserves and territories. Some of our Elders would get on their knees and kiss Mother Earth before talking. Some Elders would offer sacred tobacco to the Four Directions in the fire. Everyone listened with the utmost respect because we were talking about Mother Earth and survival, our future generations, and how we were going to protect Mother Earth from harm’s way.

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Jeremiah 7 : 18

At one point, our women asked to have their own circle to honour Mother Earth’s blood, water, and to have their own Sacred Pipe Ceremony with the Grandmothers. Our Grandmothers explained we are the water, rain, snow, ice, rivers, lakes, oceans, aquifers. The water is the blood of our Sacred Mother’s Body. We are made of water, they said, we belong to Mother Earth and we come from Mother Earth.

The Grandmothers knew back in the day that Mother Earth was being polluted and contaminated by the mining industry and logging corporations for self-gains and big profits. Now, the fish life was being washed up on the shores and whales dying everywhere. National Geographic had front page stories about how back in the day, climate change was melting the glaciers. The violence and disrespect to Mother Earth’s blood by society was killing life and Indigenous culture.

In rejecting the truth, men reject its Author. In trampling upon the law of God, they deny the authority of the Law-giver. It is as easy to make an idol of false doctrines and theories as to fashion an idol of wood or stone. By misrepresenting the attributes of God, Satan leads men to conceive of Him in a false character. With many, a philosophical idol is enthroned in the place of Jehovah; while the living God, as He is revealed in His word, in Christ, and in the works of creation, is worshiped by but few. Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today as verily as it existed among ancient Israel in the days of Elijah. The god of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists—the god of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions—is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia. GC 583.1

The Grandmothers brought copper pots of pure clean water into their circle. They began to share a large basket of water among each other, drinking from the same basket of water. The whole area was filled with smoke from abalone shells, while sage burned around their circle. Their circle had grown to over a hundred women and Grandmothers. Many men could not hold back their tears as the Grandmothers held up the copper pots filled with water to the sky. The Grandmothers were crying now; their daughters were standing with them, crying, too; even babies were in their circle, and around their circle, the men’s circle surrounded them for support and protection. Soon, the daughters were speaking, saying everything here is what our Creator put here for us, his children, to look after. Everything on Mother Earth was put here for us to use and take care of: trees, plants, gardens, forests, animals, winged ones, fish life, even insects. We are human beings, the voice for all of Creation. We are the life-givers, we must respect the water, so our children can follow our footsteps, our Original Instructions. When the Grandmothers stopped talking and passing water, they began to drum and sing Water Songs. The air was filled with drumming from our women singing together; even our men joined in, the ones who knew the songs. It was all to help and heal our sacred Mother Earth because we all knew she was suffering.

we were now living our ancestors’ dream to carry on our way of life.

All this took place in Onondaga Territory, the place where Handsome Lake was buried. We had Sweat Lodges set up ready when we would go back into the womb of our Sacred Mother Earth. It was the most beautiful thing I remember, when we all came out and the next day it all started again until our gathering was over. We had many Elders from Turtle Mountain, North Dakota, Ojibwe people who brought so many of their families to our camp back in the old days. We had so many tribes in our ceremonies back in the day. This life was passed onto us from generation to generation, Elder to Elder: we were now living our ancestors’ dream to carry on our way of life.

give Thanksgiving and respect Creation and the natural world

Our Grandmothers said the great Creator gave us Indigenous people everything we need to survive here on Turtle Island. All we need to do is give Thanksgiving and respect Creation and the natural world. Mother Earth will take care of her children as long as we take care of her.

Divorce Cause, Extravagant Weddings, Family Plan Breathing : President Erdoğan declares 2025 ‘Year of the Family’

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who declared 2025 as the “Year of the Family,” presented a series of benefits for young couples about to marry and for parents during a meeting on Jan. 13 in Ankara.

One key initiative was the expansion of the interest-free loan program for newlywed couples. Initially introduced in the earthquake-affected regions, this program offers a TL150,000 ($4,226) loan with a 48-month repayment term and a two-year grace period. Erdoğan announced that it would now be available nationwide, benefiting young couples across all 81 provinces of Türkiye. He emphasized that this loan would help young couples avoid financial stress at the start of their married life. “From now on, all young people in 81 provinces can benefit from this opportunity,” Erdoğan said.

Erdoğan announced an increase in Birth Assistance payments, with TL 300 for the first child, TL 400 for the second and TL 600 for the third and subsequent children as a one-time payment. He emphasized that Türkiye was losing its young and qualified population, stating; “The average age of marriage has risen to 26 for women and 28 for men and the age for becoming a mother has surpassed 29. Back in 2007, we made a call for at least three children to address the decline in fertility and population growth rates. Looking back, we see how right we were. We will continue to repeat our call for three children.”

Another significant announcement was the increase in birth assistance. The government raised the one-time aid for the first child to TL 5,000. Additionally, for the second child, families will receive TL 1,500 per month and for the third child and beyond, the support increases to TL 5,000 per month. Erdoğan explained that the government would directly deposit these amounts into mothers’ accounts without conditions for the second and subsequent children. He highlighted the importance of supporting families as they grow. “We are raising the one-time birth assistance for the first child to TL 5,000. For the second child, we will provide TL 1,500 per month,” he stated.

Beijing’s population has declined for the first time in 19 years

Erdoğan also introduced several new programs to address broader family-related issues. These include financial support, counseling services, and housing assistance for young couples. He also promised new opportunities to improve women’s work-life balance by promoting flexible and remote working models. Additionally, the government plans to strengthen child care services to support working parents and provide medical opportunities to help with childbearing.

“Wedding ceremonies are encouraged to be simple, without extravagance or waste, as advised by our Prophet,”

A major issue Erdoğan tackled was the rising cost of extravagant wedding ceremonies, which place financial pressure on young couples. He noted that societal expectations, fueled by social media, often lead to unnecessary financial burdens. “Wedding ceremonies are encouraged to be simple, without extravagance or waste, as advised by our Prophet,” Erdoğan said. He also linked these pressures to rising divorce rates, noting that excessive financial demands were one of the main causes. “One of the main reasons for early divorces is these excessive financial demands,” he added.

Display, Extravagance, and Hilarity Are Inappropriate At Weddings—Marriage ceremonies are made matters of display, extravagance, and self-indulgence. But if the contracting parties are agreed in religious belief and practice, and everything is consistent, and the ceremony be conducted without display and extravagance, marriage at this time need not be displeasing to God.6
There is no reason why we should make great parade or display, even if the parties were perfectly suited to each other. AH 100.5 – AH 101.1

Türkiye’s demographic challenges, particularly its declining fertility rate

Erdoğan also addressed Türkiye’s demographic challenges, particularly its declining fertility rate, which has fallen to 1.51, well below the replacement rate of 2.1. He warned that this could lead to a shrinking population and a reduced global influence. In response, Erdoğan acknowledged the criticism the government faced but expressed confidence that the public would eventually recognize the necessity of this policy.

The Guise of Family Planning : We Are Sold I and My People

Erdoğan concluded by reinforcing his belief that the issue of family and population growth is vital for the nation’s survival. “Our Family Institute will carry out policy development activities regarding family, which we see as a ‘survival issue’ for our nation’s future,” he affirmed. He also expressed concern over population control efforts carried out under the guise of planning, which he believes are driven by malicious intent. “Time will confirm this belief,” he said.

Additionally, Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş presented Erdoğan with a special gift, a calligraphy painting symbolizing family unity, featuring a hadith that states, “The best among you is the one who is best to his family.”

“Isolated” breathing crisis on Friday : Pope ‘resurrects’ after breathing crisis, Vatican says

“Isolated” breathing crisis on Friday : Pope ‘resurrects’ after breathing crisis, Vatican says

The final overthrow of all earthly dominions is plainly foretold in the word of truth. In the prophecy uttered when sentence from God was pronounced upon the last king of Israel is given the message:
“Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: … exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.” Ezekiel 21:26, 27.
The crown removed from Israel passed successively to the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. God says, “It shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.”
That time is at hand. Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation. Before our eyes is fulfilling the Saviour’s prophecy of the events to precede His coming: “Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars…. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:6, 7.
The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.

Trump Prepares The Way For Saints

Marc Fogel, an American who had been detained in Russia since 2021, landed back in the U.S. on Tuesday.

Fogel, a history teacher who was working at the Anglo-American School in Moscow, returned to the U.S. after his release from Russia following talks with the Trump administration.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

After his arrival in the U.S., Fogel, from Pennsylvania, met with President Donald Trump at the White House and called him a hero for securing his release.

“I want you to know that I am not a hero in this at all. And President Trump is a hero,” Fogel said after meeting Trump.

“These men that came from the diplomatic service are heroes,” Fogel continued. “The senators and representatives that passed legislation in my honor – they got me home – they are heroes.”

Fogel added: “I am in awe of what they all did.”

He said he feels “like the luckiest man on Earth right now.”

Trump’s national security advisor, Michael Waltz, had said the U.S. and Russia “negotiated an exchange” to ensure Fogel’s release, although he did not disclose what the U.S. was giving up. Some previous negotiations have involved releases of Russians by the U.S. or its allies in exchange for a detained American.

When asked by reporters on Tuesday whether the U.S. had given up anything in return for Fogel, Trump replied “not much” without offering additional details.

Marvelous in her shrewdness and cunning is the Roman Church. She can read what is to be. She bides her time, seeing that the Protestant churches are paying her homage in their acceptance of the false sabbath and that they are preparing to enforce it by the very means which she herself employed in bygone days. Those who reject the light of truth will yet seek the aid of this self-styled infallible power to exalt an institution that originated with her. How readily she will come to the help of Protestants in this work it is not difficult to conjecture.

Marvelous Protestants Deceived! Strong Delusions! O America!

Fogel’s family thanked Trump and others who worked to secure his release.

“We are beyond grateful, relieved, and overwhelmed that after more than three years of detention, our father, husband, and son, Marc Fogel, is finally coming home,” the family said in a statement.

[4] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. [5] And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. [6] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. [7] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; [8] And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

“Thanks to the unwavering leadership of President Trump, Marc will soon be back on American soil, free where he belongs. This has been the darkest and most painful period of our lives, but today, we begin to heal,” the statement added.null

Its millions of communicants, in every country on the globe, are instructed to hold themselves as bound in allegiance to the pope. Whatever their nationality or their government, they are to regard the authority of the church as above all other.

Matthew 24 : 14

The line of prophecy in which these symbols are found begins with Revelation 12, with the dragon that sought to destroy Christ at His birth. The dragon is said to be Satan (Revelation 12:9); he it was that moved upon Herod to put the Saviour to death. But the chief agent of Satan in making war upon Christ and His people during the first centuries of the Christian Era was the Roman Empire, in which paganism was the prevailing religion. Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.
In chapter 13 (verses 1-10) is described another beast, “like unto a leopard,” to which the dragon gave “his power, and his seat, and great authority.” This symbol, as most Protestants have believed, represents the papacy, which succeeded to the power and seat and authority once held by the ancient Roman empire. Of the leopardlike beast it is declared: “There was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies…. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” This prophecy, which is nearly identical with the description of the little horn of Daniel 7, unquestionably points to the papacy.
“Power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” And, says the prophet, “I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death.” And again: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.” The forty and two months are the same as the “time and times and the dividing of time,” three years and a half, or 1260 days, of Daniel 7—the time during which the papal power was to oppress God’s people. This period, as stated in preceding chapters, began with the supremacy of the papacy, A.D. 538, and terminated in 1798. At that time the pope was made captive by the French army, the papal power received its deadly wound, and the prediction was fulfilled, “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity.” GC 438.2 – GC 439.2

The churches of Africa held the Sabbath as it was held by the papal church before her complete apostasy. While they kept the seventh day in obedience to the commandment of God, they abstained from labor on the Sunday in conformity to the custom of the church. Upon obtaining supreme power, Rome had trampled upon the Sabbath of God to exalt her own; but the churches of Africa, hidden for nearly a thousand years, did not share in this apostasy. When brought under the sway of Rome, they were forced to set aside the true and exalt the false sabbath; but no sooner had they regained their independence than they returned to obedience to the fourth commandment. (See Appendix.)
These records of the past clearly reveal the enmity of Rome toward the true Sabbath and its defenders, and the means which she employs to honor the institution of her creating. The word of God teaches that these scenes are to be repeated as Roman Catholics and Protestants shall unite for the exaltation of the Sunday. GC 578.1 – GC 578.2

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Two Beasts : Trump’s ‘God squad’ holds increasing sway at White House _Pope Assembles a Squad to Fight Religious Extrimism Bias

The “Act for Preventing Certain Abuses and Profanations on the Lord’s Day, Called Sunday,” which Britain’s Parliament made law in 1781, bears more than a striking name. For more than a century-and-a-half, while Britain was industrializing and democratizing, the Observance Law was responsible for closing each Sunday not just the nation’s theaters, but also its libraries, museums, zoos, public gardens and of course its stores. Especially toward the end of the 19th century, adjustments to the law relaxed its broad powers. But as late as 1972, amazingly, the Sunday Theatre Act was needed to make it fully legal for British theaters to hold performances on such days.

Bishop /Pope Francis Moral Obligation to Care for the Earth and Get Vaccinated

In his book “The Literature of the Sabbath Question” (1865), the Victorian Robert Cox justly complains that the law had become a “barrier” to public learning and relaxation, as well as one that “prevents the admission of the public on Sundays to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham.” But wryness wasn’t the only Victorian response to the law. In his famous treatise On Liberty (1859), John Stuart Mill notes that zealots had begun invoking the law in their “repeated attempts to stop railway traveling on Sundays.” He calls such obstructions a type of “religious bigot[ry]” — a form of harassment against freethinkers and unbelievers, to say nothing of those simply wanting to move freely around the country. Such harassment stems, Mill writes, from “the notion that it is one man’s duty that another should be religious … a belief that God not only abominates the act of the misbeliever, but will not leave us guiltless if we leave him unmolested.” It is, he concludes, “the opinions men entertain, and the feelings they cherish, respecting those who disown the beliefs they deem important which makes this country not a place of mental freedom.”

The English Reformers, while renouncing the doctrines of Romanism, had retained many of its forms. Thus though the authority and the creed of Rome were rejected, not a few of her customs and ceremonies were incorporated into the worship of the Church of England. It was claimed that these things were not matters of conscience; that though they were not commanded in Scripture, and hence were nonessential, yet not being forbidden, they were not intrinsically evil. Their observance tended to narrow the gulf which separated the reformed churches from Rome, and it was urged that they would promote the acceptance of the Protestant faith by Romanists. GC 289.1
The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan by Ellen G White

The Barbaric actions and concerns of one influential bishop, Beilby Porteus.

How the observance law came to exist in the first place is itself notable. The bill that Parliament approved, greatly affecting British culture for more than 150 years, stemmed almost single-handedly from the actions and concerns of one influential bishop, Beilby Porteus. An avid reformer and abolitionist with keen interests also in the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Porteus was bishop of Chester before passage of the bill, but made bishop of London after its approval. In 1780, he writes candidly in his memoir, uncovered a few years later, he sought the aid of Parliament to crack down on religious criticism in Britain:

“The beginning of the winter of 1780 was distinguished by the rise of a new species of dissipation and profaneness.”

Pope’s Eye and Hatred of Protestants

On Sundays, the bishop noted with dismay, groups across London would assemble in public meeting rooms, adopting names such as “Christian Societies, Religious Societies, [and] Theological Societies.” Though meeting “under pretence of inquiring into religious doctrines, and explaining texts of holy Scripture,” he claims, they were “unlearned and incompetent to explain the same.” The bishop, who has since been noted as a likely prototype for Mr. Collins in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” (1813) (there’s a portrait of him here) argues that such discussions “were calculated to extinguish every religious principle,” and thus “threatened the worst consequences to public morals.” They “gave offence … to every man of gravity and seriousness … several of whom I have heard speak of [them] with abhorrence.” Foreigners apparently had been “shocked and scandalized … considering it a disgrace to any Christian country to tolerate so gross an insult on all decency and good order.”

But “the noon of the papacy was the midnight of the world.”—J. A. Wylie, The History of Protestantism, b. 1, ch. 4. The Holy Scriptures were almost unknown, not only to the people, but to the priests. Like the Pharisees of old, the papal leaders hated the light which would reveal their sins. God’s law, the standard of righteousness, having been removed, they exercised power without limit, and practiced vice without restraint. Fraud, avarice, and profligacy prevailed. Men shrank from no crime by which they could gain wealth or position. The palaces of popes and prelates were scenes of the vilest debauchery. Some of the reigning pontiffs were guilty of crimes so revolting that secular rulers endeavored to depose these dignitaries of the church as monsters too vile to be tolerated. For centuries Europe had made no progress in learning, arts, or civilization. A moral and intellectual paralysis had fallen upon Christendom. GC 60.2

The Doubts of Infidels: Queries Relative to Scriptural Inconsistencies & Contradictions (1781).

Passage of the bishop’s bill was far from smooth. Several members of Parliament “violently opposed” it, Porteus recalls, and heated discussion also broke out in the House of Lords, though the bill eventually “passed [both houses] without a division.”

“Babylon the great” was “drunken with the blood of the saints.” The mangled forms of millions of martyrs cried to God for vengeance upon that apostate power.
Popery had become the world’s despot. Kings and emperors bowed to the decrees of the Roman pontiff. The destinies of men, both for time and for eternity, seemed under his control. For hundreds of years the doctrines of Rome had been extensively and implicitly received, its rites reverently performed, its festivals generally observed. Its clergy were honored and liberally sustained. Never since has the Roman Church attained to greater dignity, magnificence, or power. GC 59.3 – GC 60.1

But the new law also led to the publication of a powerful and articulate rebuttal, an anonymous pamphlet called The Doubts of Infidels: Queries Relative to Scriptural Inconsistencies & Contradictions (1781). Its author called himself “A Weak but Sincere Christian” who was submitting his questions to “The Bench of Bishops for Elucidation.” As a self-described infidel, however, the author captured both the word’s flavor of heresy and its suggestion of infidelity (“infidel” comes to us via the Old French infidèle). Bristling with indignation and anger, he was doubtful of the bishops’ ability to answer pages of well-documented concerns about scriptural inconsistency, which he detailed for them chapter and verse.

The pamphlet has since been attributed to William Nicholson (1753-1815), a renowned London chemist and philosopher, and it begins as brilliantly controlled satire:

“An act of parliament is,” he writes, “an excellent engine for producing that kind of uniformity of opinions, which consists in holding the tongue. … It is carrying the notion of liberty too far to suppose, because we are free-born Englishmen, that we may choose our own faith and go to heaven our own way!”

Parliament Pope’s Engine of Holding The Tongues Science Deniers : Laudato Si “Our Guide” on Creation and fall of man

Then follows a series of devastating questions: “How can the attributes of God be vindicated, in having performed so great a number of miracles, for a long succession of very distant ages, and so few in latter times?” “Is the account of the creation and fall of man, in the book of Genesis, physical or allegorical?” And so on, for 21 more pages.

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3 : 7

In “The Age of Doubt: Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty” (2011), which details this and several other major wrangles over doctrine and dogma, I show that Nicholson’s pamphlet was not the only one to appear after observance of Sunday as “the Lord’s Day” became law across Britain for more than 150 years. However, Nicholson’s intervention helps underline how well-argued doubts about the Bible galvanized British freethinkers in the 1780s, creating a vibrant culture of doubt and unbelief that, among other things, helped temper the extremes to which some Victorians, in their attempt at restricting the public’s movement on Sundays, made clear they were still very much prone.

Two Beasts : Trump’s ‘God squad’ holds increasing sway at White House _Pope Assembles a Squad to Fight Religious Extrimism Bias

A day earlier Trump had unveiled a task force under new Attorney General Pam Bondi to root out what he called the “persecution” of Christians in the United States.

[8] Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. [12] There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Trump criticized the bishop who gave the sermon at his post-inaugural prayer service in the Washington National Cathedral (CHARLY TRIBALLEAU) (CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/AFP/AFP)More

Donald Trump said at his inauguration that he had been “saved by God.” Now he appears to be returning the favor with an increasingly conservative, religious focus in his second term as US president.

The three-times-married billionaire signed an executive order on Friday to open a “Faith Office” at the White House, led by the televangelist Paula White, Trump’s so-called spiritual advisor.

Excommunication?

A day earlier Trump had unveiled a task force under new Attorney General Pam Bondi to root out what he called the “persecution” of Christians in the United States.

The Republican has also appointed several cabinet members with links to Christian nationalists, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

All of this comes despite the fact that Trump has long had an ambiguous relationship with religion.

Though virtually a heathen statute, it was enforced by the emperor after his nominal acceptance of Christianity.
The royal mandate not proving a sufficient substitute for divine authority, Eusebius, a bishop who sought the favor of princes, and who was the special friend and flatterer of Constantine, advanced the claim that Christ had transferred the Sabbath to Sunday. Not a single testimony of the Scriptures was produced in proof of the new doctrine. GC 574.1 – GC 574.2

Unlike his predecessor Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, Trump rarely appears in Church. He was confirmed into the Presbyterian church but said he was “non-denominational.”

Then there are the sexual scandals — and a criminal conviction for in a porn star hush money case — and the selling of $60 Trump-branded Bibles on the campaign trail.

While he was still a heathen, Constantine issued a decree requiring the general observance of Sunday as a public festival throughout the Roman Empire. After his conversion he remained a staunch advocate of Sunday, and he then enforced his pagan edict in the interests of his new faith. But the honor shown this day was not as yet sufficient to prevent Christians from regarding the true Sabbath as the holy of the Lord. Another step must be taken: the false sabbath must be exalted to be equal with the true. A few years after Constantine issued his decree, the Bishop of Rome conferred on the Sunday the title of Lord’s day. In this way the people were gradually led to regard it as having a degree of sacredness. Still the original Sabbath was kept. SH 95.3

Yet evangelical Christians continued to back him in the 2024 election, just as they did in 2016.

– ‘Changed something’ –

During his first term Trump certainly dabbled with religion.

He posed with a Bible outside a church near the White House after security forces cleared out “Black Lives Matter” protesters, and had prayer meetings in the Oval Office with evangelicals.

But now Trump claimed to have had what amounts to a religious awakening.

The 78-year-old said that he had become more religious since he narrowly escaped death when a gunman’s bullet hit him in the ear at an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last year.

More Religious since he narrowly Escaped Death

“It changed something in me,” Trump told a prayer breakfast at the US Capitol on Thursday.

“I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it.”

Not that this stopped Trump lashing out at the bishop who gave the sermon at his inauguration service, Mariann Budde, after she called on him to show “mercy” to immigrants and LGBTQ people.

But the people Trump has chosen to surround himself in the White House are also telling.

Christian Nationalist Movement Playbook Game ‘acts Jesuits’

A number have ties to the New Apostolic Reformation church — a Christian nationalist movement that calls for the levers of government and society to come under Christian control.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has been linked to the movement, as has Paula White, who will head up his new Faith Office.

White hit the headlines in 2020 when she led a marathon — and widely mocked — prayer session to call for Trump to win the US election against Joe Biden.

Vance converted to Catholicism in his 30s and appeared at a town hall hosted by a leading figure in the New Apostolic Reformation Church.

– ‘Bring religion back’ –

Former Fox contributor and military veteran Hegseth, meanwhile, belongs to a church affiliated to the right-wing Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), a Christian nationalist group.

The movement wants to reestablish Biblical law, with some of its adherents calling for the repeal of women’s right to vote, US media reported.

As the papacy became firmly established, the work of Sunday exaltation was continued. For a time the people engaged in agricultural labor when not attending church, and the seventh day was still regarded as the Sabbath. But steadily a change was effected. Those in holy office were forbidden to pass judgment in any civil controversy on the Sunday. Soon after, all persons, of whatever rank, were commanded to refrain from common labor on pain of a fine for freemen and stripes in the case of servants. Later it was decreed that rich men should be punished with the loss of half of their estates; and finally, that if still obstinate they should be made slaves. The lower classes were to suffer perpetual banishment. GC 574.3
The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan by Ellen G White

While Trump has not expressed support for such views, he has increasingly adopted positions that have delighted America’s religious right.

He repeatedly boasted that the Supreme Court justices he picked in his first term helped lead to the 2022 overturning of the nationwide right to abortion.

Since his inauguration he has sent a video message to a huge anti-abortion march attended by far-right groups and signed a series of executive orders tackling liberal causes, from diversity to transgender rights and abortion.

Call for an Increased role for Religion

His prayer breakfast speech at the US Capitol this week was unusually explicit in its call for an increased role for religion.

“We have to bring religion back,” said Trump. “Let’s bring God back into our lives.”

Netanyahu, West or Pope Theological Drift? Modi ‘New Era’ _Why conservative American evangelicals are among Israel’s strongest supporters

Here is the latest SEC sports news from The Associated Press

Nebuchadnezzar _Faith is now the Government’s Job as per Project 2025, Israel, America and India “Prepare The Way”

WASHINGTON — One of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s first meetings in the United States this week was not with American Jewish leaders but with evangelical ones.

The conservative Christians met with Netanyahu on Monday at Blair House, which is near the White House. The gathering came ahead of the Israeli leader’s meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, which led to Trump’s dramatic proposals about the future of Gaza.

“The fact that our meeting took place before his meetings with President Trump and U.S. elected officials is indicative of the strength of the historic friendship that exists between Israel and Christians in America,” said Pastor Jentezen Franklin, who leads a Georgia megachurch and has served as a Trump spiritual adviser.

Among those in attendance were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist pastor and Trump’s pick to be the U.S. ambassador to Israel, and Tony Perkins, president of the socially conservative Family Research Council.

Who are Christian Zionists?Many of those in attendance were Christian Zionists, including Pastor John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel, an evangelical organization that claims 10 million members.

“The Prime Minister is here — as his country begins to conclude its longest war — to effectively reset the U.S.-Israel relationship after the damage done by four years of, at best, lukewarm support for the Jewish state,” Hagee told The Associated Press via email.

Christian Zionism Elevates The Papacy “New Humanism” Global Dominance!

Christian Zionism is an ideology among some evangelical Christians, particularly in the United States, that interprets the Bible as promising the land of Israel eternally to the Jews and asserting that God would bless Israel’s supporters. Some proponents also interpret the Bible as predicting many Jews’ eventual conversion to Christianity.

The meeting was a reminder that evangelical Christian Zionists are among Israel’s strongest supporters in the U.S. — and they wield considerable influence as Trump begins his second term. They have also backed controversial sentiments expressed by Republicans and Trump this week over the territories of Gaza and the West Bank.

Trump suggests the U.S. could take over Gaza Trump, during a shocking news conference with Netanyahu on Tuesday, suggested that Palestinians from the Gaza Strip could be removed and resettled elsewhere, with the U.S. taking over the war-torn region.

Magnificent Great City

The president, echoing his real estate developer past, said he envisions a Gaza that could be “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

“This could be something that could be so valuable. This could be so magnificent,” Trump said, adding that the people that live there would be able to live in peace.

Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a key White House adviser during his first term, has also praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property.”

“I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner said a year ago.

Muslim and Jewish leaders react

The national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Nihad Awad, assailed Trump’s proposal.

“Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people, not the United States, and President Trump’s call to displace Palestinians from their land either temporarily or permanently is an absolute non-starter,” Awad said in a statement.

“If President Trump wants to make history with some sort of grand peace deal, he must start by accepting that the way to make permanent peace is to end the Israeli occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.”

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.1 Thessalonians 5 : 3

Trump’s proposals underscore “the colonial nature of the Palestinian struggle,” said Salam Al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

“Any forced relocation of the Palestinian population will only escalate violence and resistance, leading to more instability in the region,” he said. “Anti-American sentiment will spike even further than what we have witnessed over the last year.”

Among U.S. Jewish leaders there were mixed views.

The president of an umbrella group representing relatively progressive congregations, Rabbi Rick Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism, was skeptical.

“While this moment indeed requires bold thinking to bring safety and autonomy to Israel and the Palestinians, what we heard yesterday will not build that future; it will undermine it,” Jacobs said.

“A peaceful Palestinian state alongside a secure Jewish state of Israel has to be reached through a negotiated agreement between the two parties,” he added. “Forcibly removing either populace will only perpetuate the conflict.”

The executive vice president of a more conservative group, Rabbi Moshe Hauer of the Orthodox Union, said Trump’s pronouncements about Gaza “were certainly a shock” and might be viewed in some quarters as insane.

Yet he described the policies affecting Gaza for the past two decades as “utter insanity,” with Hamas holding control and then invading Israel in 2023.

Let’s take a step back, and think, ‘What if this really works, and bodes well for the future of everybody

“There may be in this new proposal something to digest and think about,” he said. “We have gotten into a very unproductive place, an insanity that keeps repeating itself. Let’s take a step back, and think, ‘What if this really works, and bodes well for the future of everybody.’”

Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.Proverbs 17 : 5, Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. Psalm 140 : 11, And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.Daniel 8 : 23, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;2 Thessalonians 2 : 3

Trump’s proposals were praised by Sam Markstein, communications director for the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“President Trump is a disruptor, and after decades of failed policies, we are encouraged that the president is pursuing a bold, new vision for the region. … As the most pro-Israel president in U.S. history, we are confident in President Trump’s ability to bring security, peace, and prosperity to this troubled region.”

Is it the West Bank? Or Judea and Samaria?One longtime goal of Christian Zionists, and their allies, got a boost this past week when Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) reintroduced legislation that would require all official U.S. documents and materials to use the term “Judea and Samaria” instead of the “West Bank.” The legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-New York).

“The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria goes back thousands of years,” Cotton said. “The U.S. should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.”

Israel’s government refers to the West Bank by its biblical name, Judea and Samaria, and considers it the historical heartland of the Jewish people. Palestinians and the U.S. government refer to the occupied territory as the West Bank.

Israel captured the West Bank in 1967 along with the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — territory the Palestinians seek for a future state. The U.S., along with most of the international community, has traditionally supported the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines.

American Christian Zionists often use the biblical terms Judea and Samaria as a signal of their support for Israel and its annexation of the West Bank. Speakers at the annual conference of Christians United for Israel frequently invoke the biblical language as an applause line.

Huckabee has repeated that the West Bank belongs to Israel, and recently said “the title deed was given by God to Abraham and to his heirs.”

Ironically, Judea and Samaria were once part of an ancient two-state scenario. For at least two hundred years of Israel’s royal history, Judea and Samaria represented separate kingdoms: Judea continued the dynasty of King Solomon while Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom, called Israel.

Dem Claims ‘Christian Prayer’ Should Not Be Allowed In Capitol, Protests National Prayer Breakfast

President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the event stating his intention to “bring God back” to America and address the years of “anti-Christian bias” and “targeting” of Christians that occurred under the Biden Administration, according to the Associated Press.

Dem Claims ‘Christian Prayer’ Should Not Be Allowed In Capitol, Protests National Prayer Breakfast — **California Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman protested the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, claiming it violates the separation between church and state.**

The congressman said in an X video that “Christian prayer” should not be allowed in the Capitol building and that the government needs to “build a wall” between church and state to uphold a “secular republic.” (RELATED: Blue State Bill Would Force Catholic Priests To Violate Church Law)

“I am not going to this event because I support it, I’m actually going to protest it.”

“Hi Folks, just getting ready to cross the street for the National Prayer Breakfast,” Huffman said in the video taken outside of the Capitol. “I am not going to this event because I support it, I’m actually going to protest it.”

“Build This Wall” : “creepy dystopic theocracy” _ “slippery slope we’re heading down with events like this.”

Huffman went on to show several buttons he wore to the event, one that said “Build This Wall” with an image of the Capitol building and a church, and another that said “Entering Gilead” to reference the “creepy dystopic theocracy” he said is the “slippery slope we’re heading down with events like this.”

“So look, we should not be having a Christian prayer in the sanctum of the United States Capitol in Statuary Hall,” Huffman continued. “This is an actual violation of the church-state separation like we’ve never seen.”

The National Prayer Breakfast has hosted members of the government for a time of nonpartisan prayer since 1953, though this is the first year the event was held at the Capitol. Christian prayer has been a routine part of the U.S. government since its inception, and Congress still begins with a prayer at the start of every session.

The Constitution prevents Congress from establishing a national church

“The Constitution prevents Congress from establishing a national church. It doesn’t say presidents can’t publicly pray,” Josh Mercer, vice president of CatholicVote, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Obama and Biden each attended the National Prayer Breakfast when they were president, but Jared Huffman never protested them, leaving one to assume that Huffman only has a problem when Republicans pray.”

Communist America : Trump Has Ordered the US Attorney General to Create a Task Force to Unite Our Country Again as “One Nation Under God”

Huffman has led multiple efforts to strip churches and religious organizations of their tax-exempt statuses. The representative has denied any formal religious affiliation and describes himself as a “humanist.”

“The notion that religion has no place in our nation’s public square just doesn’t hold water,” Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, director of the Conscience Project, said in a statement to the DCNF. “Our founders understood the importance of a moral and virtuous citizenry. Our country has been a beacon of light for the world for our commitment to safeguarding religious freedom and countless Americans today of all political stripes consider faith as an important part of their lives.”

President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the event stating his intention to “bring God back” to America and address the years of “anti-Christian bias” and “targeting” of Christians that occurred under the Biden Administration, according to the Associated Press.
