[@rezeren5326]

Hence God's punishment of appointing evil leaders in the West. Sunak, Macron, Biden, Trudeau, Rutte, ... Yet, whilst secularists rebel, the Christian is called to obey their God appointed leaders be they evil or good. The world is an evil place and has been since Eve was outwitted by Lucifer, 6000 - 8000 years ago. I believe these overtly satanic performances and politics is part of Satan's end-game plan. Rile Christians up to the point where they let their emotions take control and rise up as it were against the current powers that be, thereby rebelling against God Romans Ch 13 v 1 reads: “1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”

People have, en masse, lost sight of The Truth, The Way and The Life. That’s the problem.

[@jmc4343]

It’s beyond a lost moral compass. Society as a whole; WORLDWIDE has tolerated the MORALLY BANKRUPT and has since been DOMINATED BY MORAL BANKRUPTCY. As we all can see as we witness this now in real time- all that we know deep in our individual being to be in violation of what we consider to be morally unacceptable and unjust that we have been shamed into “politely” TOLERATED has in fact at the end of the day become what ultimately DOMINATED the society’s of which we find ourselves a part of. BEYOND UNFORTUNATE. And BEYOND DISHEARTENING. It’s worldwide, nationwide, statewide, region wide, local and even personal. I compare it to having your own grown adult aged children living in your home engaging in and being what you consider unacceptable and immoral yet you tolerate them disrespecting you and your home and along with it all of their ways and activities that you know are immoral and maybe even unlawful. Yet you TOLERATE IT to keep the peace. At some point your home will be overtaken by all that you have tolerated until one day you wake up and find you no longer have control of your own home and have lost control over a family you know longer recognize as your own. And it’s unknown as to how to undo what’s been done over decades of incurred decay let alone how to take it back as it once was yours.

Did this person live a peaceful live? Side discussion on your being statement: Your nationality of ethnicity or religious claims do not make your right. Nor do you represent all Israelis or Jews. Would you care for me to give a quick list of people who claim the same who disagree with you? I am sure you are aware of them. Neither you or they are the Voice of Israel or Jews. I know many Jews personally and some of them claim being a Jew is a religion while others an ethnicity and still others both. All sides claim to be Jews but cannot even agree on what it means to be a Jew. Similar things are disagreed upon by those claiming to be Christians. In all these discussions using a being verb to claim to be doesn't win a disagreement when anyone can claim to be the same and disagree. People can claim to be Christian but in the end, it isn't what we claim or think or anyone else does for that matter that determines what IS.

Im Irish and live in UK. I didn't watch Eurovision but had heard about this song 3 months ago. Already 2 priests have come out to explain that the song is a real satanic curse, they go on to explain it. I can confirm what the priests have warned. I volunteer at a drop-in at a protestant church. 3 months ago a woman in her sixties who attends the drop in was a little agitated with excitement, telling everyone about the song and asking me specifically whether I had heard it. She said it was catchy and a great tune. I hadn't heard, but I later checked it out online and seen straight away that it was satanic. The next week I seen the woman and she was still going on about it, I told her what it was and she doubled down in defending it. There was a tension in the room and the others, including myself thought it very odd to see a 60yr plus woman getting excited over a pop tune. Thank God the Minister who is a very astute man, took her in hand. I looked further into this song and here is what I discovered. The singer was not born in Ireland but Sweden and is of Swedish parents. I discovered online that there has been an orchestrated campaign behind the song with numerous KZbin vids and Tiktoks. None of the other artists in the contest has anywhere near the online coverage. The comments in Bambi's song are all in praise, with satanic images in the picture besides many of commentators names. Many of the comments are introducing what appears to be satanic ideas. Critical comments all deleted. There is a repeated slogan which says 'crown the w...' This is an inversion of Our Lady crowned Queen of Heaven. The comments are from all over Europe and further afield. The whole thing has been planned, orchestrated and executed. I prayed against it during the Eurovision but didn't watch it. Do not be surprised or underestimate the diabolic attacks via the media that are now in motion. I truly believe our parishes need to hold vigils of prayer regularly. As a catholic channel would it be possible for you guys to raise this with Dioceses in UK and Ireland? Thanks for covering this.

It will have to be in a nutshell, it would take too much time to elaborate. Decline: Since 2018 Ireland's unborn babies are no longer protected by the constitution, there's a decline for you. Take a stroll through the Temple bar area of Dublin late at night, I did when I was over there last year, yep, the word "decline" somehow entered my mind there as well when I witnessed an orgy of binge drinking. I could go on and talk about the happy uncles and aunts I knew in my childhood who could actually afford to buy their own homes back then!! Looks like a sort of decline to me, just my opinion.

I grew up in Ireland in the 1970s .I remember the unemployment, mass emmigration, the lack of freedom which women had to endure ,the voilence in Northern Ireland.

I'm ethnically Jewish, but I don't understand why some Christians say the Jewish people of today are still God's chosen people. I understand why Jews say this, but why do Christians? Surely, Jews were God's people until Christians became his people. On foreign affairs, the following are true : 1. A large imported Muslim demographics in Europe is distorting politics in favour of Palestinians and against Israel. 2. A small yet influential Jewish demographic has distorted politics in favour of Israel. I don't believe either of these to be hateful against Muslims or Jews. If anything, I believe the inverse: Jewish and Muslim preoccupation with sectional religious or ethnic interests are disrespectful or even hateful of the UK and English people. If I view Israel as equally or more important than England, then why shouldn't English people see me as foreign to them?

I grew up in the eighties, I grew up listening to death metal bands that had dark and Satanic imagery. I am Christian now, and have grown out of that. What differentiates this from say bands like Mercyful Fate, Possessed or Cannibal Corpse is those bands were fringe and it was an underground thing, (some of them actually had talent), most intelligent people realized it was gimmick to annoy our parents. But now it is in your face, mainstream culture, Lady Gaga or Lil Nas X is more Gothic and extreme than King Diamond or Slayer ever was, and this new breed of Satanism is infused with a perverse sexual element in its repertoire. This is not the post punk/heavy metal teenagers rebeling against the Moral Majority of the 1980' s, this is the new Zeitgeist and the nadir of pop culture. I don't like speculating on the end times, as many of my fellow Christians and close friends earnestly believe we have reached, Christ said in Matthew 24, 'we don't know the day or the hour', but I can't help wondering. There is one positive aspect with it becoming mainstream, people will see how bland, boring, childish and absurd Satanism really is, it is shedding it's mystique, and people will look to Christianity and upright morality as a form of rebellion. 😊

Mark, using terms such as "celebrating cultures" is already dangerously close to implicit endorsement of a woke trope. A certain girls school originally set up by Catholic parents (not unknown to Katherine) has just launched a club with a title along those lines: this triggers alarm bells because of the intimate entanglement of an ideology and its terminology.

[@borderlands6606]

It's an interesting question. I attend a Catholic church of highly diverse ethnicity, which I contend is a monoculture: Catholicism. However, in dress, culinary taste and other ways most people would instinctively describe the congregation as multi-cultural. Occasionally outward signs conflict with tradition, for example covering male heads in church. On the other hand it's more likely for ethnically British females to be scantily clad in church. When I attend TLM services, the congregation is exclusively white as far as I can recall. It would be unfortunate to see Latin Masses become ethnically homogenous.

What surprised me was only the lameness, the wretched pathetic-ness, the cheap tinsel vacuity ... "I'm not bullshitting you, but I am bullshitting you and that's a good thing". Perhaps this manifests the mind of us in the west especially the Anglosphere. We updated our outdated whatever and began to teach our infants, children and youth, untruths, that we ourselves knew are untrue. The evolutes of the untruth planted like a seed in the soil of the mind - the psychic children of the falsehoods inculcated for fifty years. Indeed they grow bizarre, bafflingly brazen, embodiments of contradictions though immune to contradiction .... empty chaos. I think we're experiencing the second generation of maturity and development of the original infection. And simultaneously, updated untruths are planted continuously. Within myself acutely aware of the Christian identity of Europe, the warp and weft of it nevertheless, I'm astonished at the magnitude of utter ruin that our faith conquered and Our Lord and His Holy Mother stood warm and breathing at our backs.

No, his mother was Galilean. Galilea literally means 'Land (district) of the non-Jews'. For the same reason, not all apostles were Jews. And Israel was under the non-Jewish Parthian rule at that time (Judah was under Roman rule).

It is rather telling all of this is happening close to the TWO THOUSAND year mark of Christ's earthly ministry, death, burial and Resurrection. At some point, 1260 days - times, time and a half time, forty two months may matter to all of us. It will to some generation. On the third day He rose, and a day is like a thousand years. Masoretic and the LXX the old sexta septa belief may have been on to something. Anno Mundi was off the LXX but the Masoretic does point to the third day being soon. Guess we will all know soon one way or another. Maranatha

Mark, Did the allies have concern for the innocent noncombatants Germans? Do Gazans = Hamas in a similar was to Germans = Nazi in WW2?

[@bengreen171]

Has Hamas invaded Israel, Egypt, Jordan and other surrounding countries or sent thousands of people to camps? The answer is no. Actually, the bombing campaign that saw the indiscriminate killing of thousands of Germans is looked at today as close to being criminal. It was highly controversial at hte time - and yes, there were extenuating circumstances. It was a real war. How about looking at it this way. What would you say if Britain sent its forces into Dublin during the troubles and laid waste to it killing thousnads.

[@jesuslovesaves2682]

@@bengreen171 No, they invaded Israel to kill Jews as their mission statement states. Have you read their founding documents? It was all there when Gaza elected them and know it was their desire. You would likely be saluting the Furer if they didn't. But some sick people probably wouldn't mind that. So, what has been going on in Israel for basically ever isn't real war? Constant bombing isn't war? If you were there on October 7th, you likely wouldn't agree. Let alone the decades of bombing going on there. It was a planned literal invasion. The manipulation currently going on to incite the counterattack was a trap to then send out agitators in West to accuse Israel of beings immoral. It was all planned. This was an act of war, and it is what it is. But not only that a well-planned trap to fool naive people in the West to turn on Israel. It would probably be better if Israel just laid down their arms and got killed like Christ praying for the Muslims killing them. But I don't think that is likely to happen. One thing for certain until Islam overtakes everything it will keep up the similar tactics and fools will go along calling those bigots who point it out. Islam follows Mohammad. Mohammed was a conquer. Even Issa (Islamic version of Jesus) will come to kill those who follow the Cross with his friend the Madhi. Have you ever read the Quran and the Hadith? Or the history of the area? It has basically been nothing but push out those who disagree with Islam since Mohammad. Archbishop Nona, The Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul has warned what history has reveal to anyone willing to read on the topic. But the crescent moon cannot be spoken about on YT so this will be deleted. Immigration can go one way, into the West. If Muslims aren't accepted as they try and convert western nation its bigotry. If western people going into Islamic nations and try to convert them, you will likely wind up in jail or dead. Israel and the Jews aren't going to be accepted in that area for the same reason Mohammads followers conquered it in the first place.

Mark refers to the idea that Israel is involved in a "kind of war that is not paying enough attention to innocent non-combattants and that is a massive problem to me". The ratio of military to civilian fatalities in this latest war is 1:1 (so far) according to John Spencer the world's leading authority on urban warfare. The historical average in general warfare is 1:9. This would suggest that this war has achieved some success in limiting civilIan deaths. Much of that result must be attributed to the actions of the IDF. - within the context of the fact that Israel is fighting an urban war of the greatest complexity - more difficult even than that of the United States military in Mosul but with considerably less loss of civilian life than in that previous conflict

Jesus ended or rather changed who the "chosen" people ARE. "Who is my mother and my brothers"? Jesus came to free all of mankind who accept Him as Lord. We are all Gods chosen people so stop living in the old covenant. Jesus fulfilled that and He is the new covenant come to live inside us who believe. The Jews in Israel are busy persecuting Christians. They are Gentiles now, no better no worse, just unsaved people who need Christ.

[@MrJohnmartin2009]

It's difficult to understand how Gavin can assert Israel is God's chosen people when the Mosaic covenant ended at the cross and Pentecost and the Church is now the restored Israel. There is only one covenant mediated by Jesus, and no other. To claim Israel is God's chosen people is possibly based upon a misreading of Romans 9-11.

It goes beyond Romans 9-11 CCC 671-677 quotes and is based upon much more than just that Romans passage. You could say it most of the Bible. What did Peter say or rather the Holy Spirit to the Jews after Pentecost? "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old."

When Mark said that he was a bit more circumspect than Gavin, it seemed to me that he was saying that Gavin's approach was unbalanced and that Mark's was there to bring common sense; Looking at Gavin's expression, he may have felt the same. After that Mark just seemed to back peddle. My ears pricked up when Mark uttered ' Circumspect ' I don't think there was anything wrong with what Mark said and it's great bringing these things out.

Was it okay to slaughter noncombatant innocent Germans in WW2? Did Germans = Nazi? Do Gazans = Hamas? In war when children and woman noncombatants carry bombs and kill soldiers are they innocent noncombatants? In both Vietnam and Iraq this occurred. In both cases US soldier were instructed to shoot first and ask questions later when approach if they wanted to make it home alive. Do you judge them? This occurs still. People hide and kill behind human shields. They take prisoners whom they rape, torture and kill hiding behind the people who elected them.

[@jesuslovesaves2682]

Do you disagree with the slaughter of innocent Germans in WW2? Gaza attacked Israel on Oct 7th and started a war. They took prisoners whom they are doing bad things too. Do you agree it's okay to do that then hide behind your civilians? Gaza should surrender, free the prisoners and lay down their arms and it is all over. But some people support Oct 7th many times over.
