    Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: "Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?" Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?

    The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century – Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

    Find "The Mystery about the Church of Christ" video on YouTube. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

    I’ve regained my memory, and you can try this too. You must remove inflammation in the brain. Start gluten free diet today. Stop eating sugar as much as possible. Keep a journal, record how your symptoms improve. A teaspoon or tablespoon of coconut oil daily. Your dr will not tell you, just try it. Lori -RPh

    I find this documentary fascinating but my experience with my own mom is SO different. She could never intellectually understand her disease, or talk about it. Just today a therapist canceled on us, saying therapy isn’t indicated bc it can create frustration and anxiety. My dad has pseudo dementia and it’s nightmarish. He stopped showering months ago, then stopped eating, then began refusing all psych meds, and has psychosis too. He’s now in hospice, starving to death, while my mom with dementia can’t understand why we can’t just take him on a walk to get him to be better. It’s all beyond heartbreaking. Cancer would be a treat at this point.

    I think I'm glad I got in photography. Especially happy moments. Like when two people greet and hug each other or people cheering. When she said "I like looking at pictures. I feel happiness"
    I'm honored to capture happy for them.

    I'm a social worker in a long term care home. Dementia is a nightmare. There are a few who are lucky and are "pleasantly confused" but the majority of dementia patients are constantly terrified, paranoid, angry, frustrated, confused and lost. They spend their days seeing and hearing things that are scary to them, they wander the halls like zombies looking for loved ones who they will never find, sitting on chairs waiting for buses to take them home that will never come or screaming and calling out in terror because they are confused about where they are.
    Please, take it from me, if your country has a Medical Assistance in Death program, talk to your loved one early enough to sign up for it so that they can die with dignity when the time comes.
    The slow death due to dementia is a torture and no way to spend your last days.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
