Never thought about it. It's a multi-pronged attack on our biology, psychology and spirituality. Even if we make efforts to lower our exposure to toxic environment we're still oblivious to most of it.
Lmao what, it was -10 efficacy? lol I dont think it works like that.
They determine vaccine effectiveness by comparing vaxxed group vs control, so it's relative. If the vaxxed group people have more cases and higher mortality, effectiveness drops below 0.
Or just be smart and cool headed about it and use it to diversify your assets and not go all in on it. That's what I do and I've made a profit even though I entered recently.
That's my prediction too. I suppose they might supplement the financial collapse with some cooked up health or environmental crisis to get the dominoes falling. Civil unrest will follow and they have the means to deal with "domestic terrorists".
They specifically call it the end times like this prophecy by elder Paisios of Athos (I've posted it here), though I agree we may not be in it but on the verge of it, as the elder says. The end times will unravel when the prophecy of the Temple is fulfilled and the Antichrist and his prophet are revealed:
Very difficult times are ahead for the faithful. Great trials await us. Christians will suffer great persecutions. Meanwhile, it’s obvious that people don’t understand that we’re on the verge of the end times, that the seal of the Antichrist is becoming a reality. As if nothing’s happening. That’s why Holy Scripture says that even the chosen will be deceived.
The Zionists want to rule the earth. To achieve their ends they use black magic and satanism. They regard satan-worship as a means to gain the strength they need to carry out their plans. They want to rule the earth using satanic power. God is not something they take into account. One sign that the fulfillment of prophecy is near will be the destruction of the Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem. They’ll de¬stroy it in order to restore the Temple of Solomon which used to be on the same place. In the end the Jews will pronounce the Antichrist messiah in this rebuilt temple.
The rabbis know that the true Messiah has already come and that they crucified Him. They know this, and yet they are blinded by egoism and fanaticism.

Progress assumes telos (purpose). There is no quest for progress because progress is not an end in itself. Progress is change of state and has no ethical value. Change is neither good nor bad without an ethical standard. I could be progressing towards a degenerate sociopathic drunk. Is it good that I change my state in that direction or is it better to stay the same?
In this case the word progress is used in the context of Enlightenment liberal worldview and we know where that progress leads - nihilistic skittles brave new world.
What a waste. As if she needs to push redditors to vote for her.
1 presupposes progressivism - superiority of modernity to the past. "Quest for progress"? Progress towards what - NWO, troons rights, depop, degeneracy and abrotions?
He better prepare. It's obvious Trump will win according to plan. I even placed a bet on him months ago.
So a blue-haired anime funko-pop girl with a hoodie represents RC? Welcome to clown church.
You didn't address what she said in the video though. Ad homs are not a great argument and it makes you sound like a troll or a shill.
You're simply wrong on what the church teaches, and what it doesn't. It does not teach a literal interpretation of Genesis as necessary.
I red on how that problem was perceived by the Western Church and indeed Augustine of Hippo has a similar view on creation and original sin as what you said - I guess there is a big difference between RC and Orthodoxy on that matter. I am aware RC is geared towards natural theology and nominalism due to influence by Augustine and Aquinas.
The Eastern fathers like St Basil rejected allegorical interpretation as did most in the Orthodox tradition. Here's a great compilation of the recent patristic views delving in evolution too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0sdPLJO3cE
Origin was heretical because he denied original sin.
You're thinking about Pelagius. Origen was condemned for teaching God was incorporeal as well as his heterodox views on sexuality and excessively allegorical hermeneutic.
And Fr. was talking about this in 1982 like the end was night. No man knows the hour.
We're living in the end times and that's evident by the many signs that have came to pass. All saints agree on that and this is what Jesus and the apostles teach us in scripture. But it's true we don't know how long the end times will last - could be 100 or 1000 years. Once the Temple is rebuilt the events of the apocalypse will unravel in a matter of years.
Death occurs before the fall, just not for humans, who ate from the tree of life. When the Bible says death came into the world due to Adam's sin, it only mentions humans.
That's not what the Church teaches. God is life. God created everything and it was good. Therefore death is the moving away from God which only took place when Adam and Eve disobeyed God through their own free will. The Garden of Eden was paradise and there's no death in paradise. There was no death and no evil before the fall period. The first death of a living being was the animal that was used for it's skin to make their garments. The fall of man changed the whole nature of the world - it was cosmic in scope. This is the dogmatic teaching of both the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches and it's been so since the first ecumenical councils.
The creation story in Genesis, of the two of them, the one that deals with Adam and Eve, can be, by good Christians, accepted as purely allegorical. Our first ancestors disobeyed God in some way, and thus we have original sin.
Again, not what the Church teaches. This was a common heresy committed by the early gnostics. I believe Origen was excommunicated because of his free interpretation of Genesis. This may fly with gnostics, kabbalists, Jungians and Jordan Peterson but it's not a Christian interpretation.
From a scientific perspective, the universe is billions of years old and stars have winked out of existence before man first drew breath.
Where's the evidence of that? Is this real science at all or just Carl DeGrasse Dawkins story time for scientismo goobers? Has this been demonstrated using the scientific method? Why would a Christian take this wild speculation about what happened billions of years ago (which is based on pure faith and baseless assumptions of the nature of the universe btw) and prefer it to God's own revelation?
You're doing freestyle gnostic new-agey interpretation of Scripture and that's why I called you protestant. As a Catholic you're supposed to follow the teachings and dogmas of the RC Church as the sole authority on theological matters and correct your views when they diverge.
Depends on what aspects of darwinism you're using. God most certainly could have used evolution as the means to create the first fully human beings of Adam and Eve.
No, because evolution as we understand it presupposes death before the fall. This has been condemned by the ecumenical councils. They also condemned all metaphorical interpretations of the creation story in Genesis and one can't read a natural determined process like evolution in it if the story is taken literally. Also, what did man evolve from? Did he possess the image and likeness of God in those previous stages and if he did, why did he have to continue evolving? When did that qualitative transition during that process occur (when did man acquire free will)?
As for the alien demon hypothesis, I am going to outsource this to Jimmy Akin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LDj2By1JLM
I'll check it. Here's where I got my understanding on aliens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcyYUzYFEE
He helped willingly or unwillingly. I doubt he had the full picture or came up with the agenda.
Can't trust ChatGPT with that.
Sure, there is no explicit teaching on darwinism too but such propositions have entailments that contradict the Church teachings. ETs make sense in Christianity as being angels/demons only.
No early life needed with such a name.
Was this article penned in the USA or in Israel?
Potatoes - potatoes
Possibly the worst president in history, Wilson got the US into the fakest and gayest of all banker wars - WWI, even though he promised not to get the nation into the conflict. He was instrumental in instigating the jewish Bolshevik revolution (ran from Wall str) and was a staunch supporter of the League of Nations (later UN) - the first one world government organization.
He initially opposed the right of women to vote but came around and supported the 19th amendment in 1920, because "he saw women can vote adequately" (meaning feminists who supported his fabian socialist policies).
Thanks, Woodrow. I'd like to get this sob out of the grave for a quick tour so that he can witness the degeneracy he delivered to the US and the world. But I'm sure he's at an even worse place now.
What church teaching you what?
Oh, you're protestant I get it. You mentioning purgatory threw me off. The apostolic Church established by Christ to preserve and spread the word of God which is the only path to salvation - there is no other Church.
When John wrote Revelation, that's the end of "public revelation."
It is speculated John wrote Revelation around 90AD. It was the Church that centuries later compiled the Bible and decided John's gospel to be within the Christian tradition.
Deeper thinkers than you thought long and hard about this, and they didn't have the answers you do.
Those are not my ideas, I'm not a gnostic possessing some secret knowledge. I'm relating the teachings of the Church fathers who kept the tradition and knowledge that was revealed to us by God.
Either way, scripture applies to humans.
Exactly. How do you have knowledge of anything that doesn't apply to humans? I can imagine a lot of things that most likely are not real. This is exactly what the atheists argue with the stupid Flying spaghetti monster (which is based on Bertrand Russel's teapot) - we don't know that such a thing doesn't exist somewhere in the universe with certainty, yet with no proof there's no reason to believe in it.
Your limiting yourself.
Yes, I'm limiting myself to what the Church teaches about cosmology and our world. The path of truth is straight and narrow.
On the far side of the universe, or in alternate ones, there could be a species that is immortal, having never fallen like man.
Metaverse and realities beside our world and the Kingdom of God make no sense in Christianity. This is wild speculation and fantasy at best and gnostic heresy at worst. The term species itself is not Christian at all. It originates from evo theory and presupposes naturalism. Man is a unique creature made in the image of God and not a product of speciation of biological life.
Is there a reason God has not revealed the creation of another such creature in the creation story? I take it you're Catholic, so you should be aware your Church teaches that God has deposited His revelation in fullness starting with the OT prophets and ending at Pentecost and the establishment of the Church as the new Ark of the covenant.
You'd have to make that work in the Christian cosmology. According to scripture there are 4 categories of created beings - angels (demons are in this category), animals, man and Nephilim (the result of humans and angels interbreeding).
What's the problem with Virgin Mary's crown being the EU flag? It's based if anything, though it's obviously a subversion of the Christian meaning.
I'd just call them demons. Calling them aliens or ET allows for other non-Christian interpretations.
Stop flooding the forum with bs, dude. Is someone paying you for this shit?
