  1. Kim, please do not cry. I understand it is a human emotion but God wants you to be strong, He wants you to be healthy. God is with you and it should give you peace, confidence and happiness. God wants to see you smile through hardships. So many people are praying for you, you are not alone! May your Guardian Angel be with you every moment of your life. I pray that God keeps you safe and I pray God shows His power over this sinful world. Do not be afraid.

  3. Where there is a regime change, there are American journalists. How odd.

  4. Chris, if you have a compromised immune system, stop watching the news. They make it a lot worse than it really is. If you follow the FLCCC protocol (if it is available in your country), you will be FINE, especially with Omicron.

  5. Truth Fear None Amen!

  6. Right, why would isis pay them in rubles? Good question... because it was not isis.

  7. look UP If you read comments of Christians, you will not see cursing there. BUT when you read comments of those who are against God, you will see plenty of cursing and hatred. I am not surprised, this is how it should be. God is love, Satan is the opposite. When people come to realize that, they come to God and they feel safe there. They feel loved by God, they feel protection and peace. I would rather give up my sins and be with Him and feel peace (that the world cannot give), than be without Him. I hope someday you can understand what it is all about.

  8.  @jeremymorley5670  not half as likely, but 2/3. Look at the South African data and their death rates from Omicron and you will understand that those who are hospitalized now most likely have Delta, not Omicron.

  9.  @littlefluffybushbaby7256  not as active as they are in Ukraine

  10. Ukraine celebrates its independence from the Soviet Union (the non-existent country) with 1/3 of its territory lost and HUGE advances of the Russian army every single day. President Zelenski made a huge mistake by invading Russia. With low resources, he clearly should not have sent his best army men and weapons to the Kursk region to be destroyed by the Russians. Oh, well.

  11. Oh, silly me! How else would you prove the need for polygamy if not by distributing such a lie that is so easy to prove wrong.

  12. Truth Fear None When you are not with God, you stop seeing faults in yourself. We cannot help them, only God can. You see how hard it is. God bless  you and your family!

  16.  @littlefluffybushbaby7256  my reply to you got deleted. How much food do you think they were able to buy in less than one day? They were caught less than 60 miles from the border with Uk-raine.

  17.  @littlefluffybushbaby7256  Do you think they planned to shop a lot for food in Russia or find time to exchange their rubles for other currencies in Russia? Seriously?

  18. This may come as a huge surprise to many Americans, but thieves get imprisoned in Russia. If you are a thief, go to California instead.

  19.  @ryangraham71  When Mexico starts considering becoming a military ally with Russia, it is a no-brainer what America will do to Mexico. The exact same thing was about to happen on Russia's longest border—the border with Ukraine. Ukraine proclaimed to the entire world that it wanted to join NATO, and shortly after this, the Ukraine war started.

  20.  Larkincork Pocco  You sound like a victim of mass media. Those in power (including the media) control the population using fear. Don't give in to this.

  21. I am from Russia and even in school I was taught that there are more boys being born every year than girls. That is because if war happens, we do not lose so much of the male population comparing to if the equal number of boys and girls were born. Have no idea where you took this info from.

  24. Megadeth9811 I do not know how I missed that comment of yours that said you were raised Catholic. I was raised Orthodox where they bow down to icons, pray to saints pretty much same way Catholics do. I had all the reasons to be upset with the church, leave it for how some people there treated me back long ago, but I did not leave until God changed the circumstances in my life that I became an Adventist. I knew that being mad at the church and leaving it was different from being mad at God and leaving Him. Freedom.. Satan was offering freedom and knowledge to Eve but the true freedom comes from God, from following His commandments. You not only get freedom doing that, you get peace during hardships, especially when you face death. When trials come, things change and for me (!) it is easier to go through trials with God. If everyone turns away from you, God is with you but only when you have that personal relationship with Him, you can sense His presence in your life and you can feel His protection. It is the safest place you can find in this world. If you ever feel the need for God, just pray and He will answer. He will always welcome you back (not speaking of church, but God) and you will be just as precious to Him as those who never left Him. Please take care.

  25. Megadeth9811 Please read the last comment from Jennie Hughes and see the difference. It makes me very sad. I hope in seeing that difference you will make the right choice, I hope and pray that you will!

  26. chicagata I am God's child and He loves me and believe it or not, He loves you and all those who hate Him for He did not come to save the righteous only (as they are already with Him), He came to save the sinners and the haters too. But our will is important, we have to make a choice to be with Him. God is perfect, Satan is not and he hates God and does everything to destroy our relationship with Him. Satan wants us to live the way we want, and not care for the will of God or His commandments. This way is easy, way easier than a Christian way of life. To be a true Christian you have to be strong spiritually to be able to say "no" when you want to say "yes", not to go with the crowd, not to please people, not to be popular, but swim against the current and that takes a lot of courage. Christians are not some uneducated, law class people. My son is now 12 y.o. and academically he is at the 12 grade level. I am an engineer by education so is my husband and in my church we have the highest percentage in all Christian denominations with college degrees, masters and PhD's. Besides, at my church we take care of our health, not only by not smoking or drinking but by eating a vegetarian diet (most of us). I am a vegan. What you think of me, I really do not care. All my life is for the Lord and I know He cares about me.

  27. chicagata I know that a lot of homosexuals are vegetarians. It is not only about killing animals, it is about what animals eat and what diseases they have, they are toxic to eat, especially pork. I have been interested in holistic medicine for about 10 years now. I am not a practitioner, I use herbs and homeopathy for myself and my family. I believe God does not like how a lot of people are getting poisoned by chemo and radiation these days, how they are not given alternatives to the mainstream medicine here in this country. A note to Jennie: I would accept criticism on how good or bad of a Christian I am from another Christian but I cannot accept it from those who do not believe in God. It is like if a person who knows nothing about art would be asked to judge the work of an artist.

  28. Jennie Hughes When you said that you believe in God even your tone has changed for the better. I can understand a lot, believe me. I have my own set of problems and hardships which make me more humble and closer to God. As you know, this life is not the end of it, but  preparation for eternity. I will keep you in my prayers.

  29. chicagata I do not think that atheists are all mean and evil. I grew up in an atheist country. My grandfather whom I loved dearly was an atheist, but when I think about him, it brings tears to my eyes because he was a good man. Basically, my entire family was not really Christian. I know it is time for me to say a few things here. I grew up in the Soviet Union. Was baptized Orthodox Christian which did not do much for me from the spiritual perspective. My mom had a few aunts and all of them were devoted Christians (one of them was a nun). They deeply hated communists for destroying their churches and killing so many believers. One of my mom's aunts introduced me to Christianity when I was about 10 or so and I will be forever grateful to her for that. I was not allowed to talk about God in school, but I kept on reading Christian books each time I'd visit my relatives. The rest of my life in Russia was pretty ordinary - high school, then University graduation, then work. I fell in love with the English language. It was my passion which eventually brought me here to the US. I was not much of the believer, was only calling for God in times of suffering and God was answering my prayers even though I probably did not deserve it. I have two boys and what a joy it is watching them grow and learn new things! My husband is a Christian too. I do not know why God decided I was worthy of sharing my life with such a man who has so much integrity, love both for his family and for God and I thank the Lord for it every day. Remember I said that being a Christian can be harder than being an atheist? Let me explain. My husband was born in a family of 7th Day Adventists which as you might know keep Sabbath which means they never work on Saturdays. He was born in the early sixties and his church was outlawed by the Soviet government, just like the rest of protestant churches. The problem was that everyone had to work or go to school or college on Saturdays (and have only Sundays off) back in the Soviet times. He never went to school on Saturdays despite all the pressure from his teachers and the KGB. I once asked him why he read the bible so much when he was a kid and he said that every night when he'd go to bed, he did not know if tomorrow he would still be with his parents. He and his friends had to run away (quite frequently jumping over the fences) from the Soviet police and some were caught and put to orphanages that had prison-like conditions. This is what I call courage and swimming against the current. He was lucky, he was never caught.  Then he went to the Soviet Army where he refused to do anything on Saturdays and it was a work day. He was physically abused there almost daily for his beliefs and was even hospitalized for a month while in the army. One day, the officer that was in charge of his group of soldiers, got drunk to the point that he could barely stand on his feet, put him against the wall, put a  gun to his throat and told him that either he denied God right there, or he would be immediately shot. He could have denied God and God would have forgiven him because of the circumstances he was in but he did not do that. He was ready to die. He did not say a word, did not ask for mercy, he was silent. By the grace of God, that officer put his gun down. The next day when that officer got sober, he yelled at my husband saying he could have killed him (for which he would have been in big trouble - all he cared for). You'd probably call him crazy or even worse and that is your right. I am honored to be his wife and to spend whatever years I have left in my life with him.

  30. Jennie Hughes Time spent for God is never wasted. I am out of this discussion group. I said everything there is to say in my last comment. Best wishes to all!

  31. chicagata I answered your question the very first time. You missed it. I am God's child and prayer is our communication with God, that was established after the fall of man. In other words, being God's child implies that you pray (it is like you cannot digest your food unless you have something to eat, it is as logical and universal and is a common truth).

  32. chicagata If you do not want to learn about Christianity, I cannot help you. You can find answers to your questions in the bible. If you do not believe what it says, I cannot help you either. If you do not want others to pray for you so that you find God, all this communication is worthless and a waste of our time. However, I must say that God is merciful and He can put you in such a situation that you will have no choice but to believe in Him the way He wants us to believe in Him (read the bible to find out how). You have a free choice just like everybody else, you are not more or less privileged than the rest of us. We are all going to be judged fairly by Him. I think it is time to finish our discussion. All the best to you.

  33. chicagata Well, looks like you think that your Satan is so much better than my God. Thanks to Satan we are not immortal anymore. Or do you think God should be happy about sin? He's never been, He never will be. You, unbelievers, do not understand - our life here is temporary and there is eternity. You know what: if you are right, then we will all just die and be eaten by worms no matter how we lived, but if we, Christians, are right, then there is a difference: those who condemn God will have a totally different end than those who love Him. And yes, at the end of times at the second coming of Jesus, a lot of sinners will die, millions of them. It is easier for a Christian to face death, much harder for the unbelievers  because this is all they have. Well, enjoy life while you can, I guess.

  34. +chicagata So I don't know from where you conclude that I am a satanist! 3- Just a thought: If satan wants us to live the way WE want, doesn't that mean that he wants us free? While god wants us slaved?

  35. +chicagata I did not run out of arguments, this dialog is pointless, sorry and I do not have time for this. You know my position, I know yours, I think it is enough already.

  36. Jennie Hughes Those people who believe in the eternal lake of fire do not know their bibles. There is no such thing. I doubt you'd want to know the answer to this but anyway too bad your depression was caused by misunderstanding of what lake of fire is that your former church supported in the past and still supports it now together with the great Catholic church.

  37. Why would any sane person go to America with all its shoo-ings and mental health crises?

  38. and toilets too, that it stole from Ukrainian homes.

  39. How can someone with autism get a gun???????? How could the adults who he lived with allow an autistic teen to bring a gun to their home? They are acting innocent but they are not! An autistic teen who has recently lost his mother moves into their house with a  gun! Wow, that's smart!

  40. Yeah, tell them. They'll listen.

  43. More money/weapons sent to Ukraine means more deaths of the Ukrainian people. The opposite means the end of the war. What a great way to compromise! He is a smart guy, that's for sure.

  44. How can a president not know that a cold comes from a virus?

  45. Why is she smiling while saying "Please don't stop helping us fight" and looking down right away? No one asks for help in a desperate situation and smiles; most people would be tearing up and looking the person they talk to right in the face. She behaves like a hostage saying things under pressure. She knows that the more weapons are sent to Ukraine, the more Ukrainians will die. Her smiling while talking about serious matters is very weird.

  47. Audrie, didn't you get another booster already back in January when you contracted Omicron?

  48. They are isolating those with MILD Covid, showing only the elderly people on stretchers, and have the LOW death rate comparing to the rest of developed countries but the media portrays it like it is the end of the world. For a nation that had a zero deaths policy this situation is serious, but not for the rest of the world where a lot more people have died from Covid including the US. STOP SPREADING FEAR.

  49. How much money have you personally sent to Ukraine?
    1
  50. Well, at least this time we weren't told that the Russian missile started the fire in the nuclear plant. That's what I call honest reporting. This nuclear plant is not too far from Crimea and it would not make sense for the Russians to bomb it.
