https://www.yahoo.com/news/brazils-p1-coronavirus-variant-mutating-143931728.html
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil's P1 coronavirus variant, behind a deadly COVID-19 surge in the Latin American country that has raised international alarm, is mutating in ways that could make it better able to evade antibodies, according to scientists studying the virus.
It's reaching hysterical levels. The next obvious question becomes:
WHY?

Of course. Use the scapegoat country. The data is much more credible.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said earlier this month that people will likely require booster shots within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated - as early as December for some.
Oh ok. It's obvious now. It's a tactic used in many scenarios and a social phenomena as well.
Just oversaturate the waves with information and soon enough people won't even remember important details. .
And as time and data progresses, people won't be able to form their own opinion.
What does that accomplish?
People are more likely to simply go along with the status-quo.

If COVID-19 is not controlled across the world, there exists a worst-case scenario where a new vaccine-resistant variant emerges, said PAHO sub-director Jarbas Barbosa.
Oh ok. Which means what? That taking the previous vaccines was useless?

What IS Christianity?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-evangelicals-unchristian-attacks-raphael-090948876.html
For the sake of clarity, given this article's format, I think it will be easier to suggest what it IS NOT.
Most recently, Georgia Baptist minister and Donald Trump loyalist Doug Collins, claimed Warnock’s stance as a “pro-choice pastor...
Christianity is NOT a stance on any specific political/social issues.
“meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
There is nothing more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Any suggestion of such would trivialize the single most important event in human history.
"Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves”.
The idea that we are able to "save ourselves" is completely anti-christian even if it is meant as a matter of practicality.
"As the dominant cultural power in America,” Jones writes, the white Christian church has “been responsible for constructing and sustaining a project to protect White supremacy and resist Black equality. This project has framed the entire American story.
Black Church and the religion practiced within its embrace acted as the engine driving social transformation in America, from the antebellum abolitionist movement through the various phases of the fight against Jim Crow, and now, in our current century, to Black Lives Matter,”
The bible says:
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Turning the Church into a matter of demographics (including black and/or white) is an act of divisiveness and one that most likely comes with an agenda behind it.
American Christianity’s theological core has been thoroughly structured by an interest in protecting white supremacy…
Turning the Church into a matter of "geographics" is an act of divisiveness and one that most likely comes with an agenda.
“The black church was born fighting for freedom, and freedom is indeed its only reason for being.”
If something other than Christ is a church's "only reason for being" then it is not a church. It is a social movement.
God stands most closely with the oppressed, and that God actively works to free the oppressed.
God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. But God does not work to free the "oppressed" as perceived under human standards. If that were the case, Christ would have started his own revolution since his people were oppressed by the romans. God is interested in freeing people (for whom he gave himself up for) from their slavery to sin (which He became and dealt away with at the cross) for "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God".
This is the core of the difference between Warnock’s faith and that of the white evangelicals who criticize and question the religious validity of the Black theology he espouses. They embrace a religious ideology that is fundamentally selfish, one which actively works against political change...
Christianity is not theology. Christianity is not ideology. And Christianity definitely does NOT seek POLITICAL CHANGE. Only those concerned with power are into politics. Jesus drew a very clear line between the politicians of his time on earth (pharisees) and himself. He was NOT a politician. If He had any desire for power He would have accepted Satan's third attempt. As it turned out, glory be to God, that too was rejected.
And we too must reject the notion that Jesus was a democrat because He wasn't republican either. Those labels are things of this world.
AND WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD!
STOP HIJACKING THE NAME IN ORDER TO ADVANCE YOUR SECULARIST IDEALS!
COME LORD JESUS!
Current Events-Vax
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/fda-cdc-recommend-pause-johnson-and-johnson-vaccine-112841900.html
The US Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called for a pause Tuesday in the use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine “out of an abundance of caution” so they can review an “extremely rare” incidence of blood clots.
Ok, so this was the "one shot and done" vax that had already had its production stopped in Baltimore due to "employee mistakes".
Johnson & Johnson last I checked was good at making baby powder and shampoo. And now, under emergency use authorized by the FDA, people are experiencing serious side-effects.

Over the past seven days, the number of COVID-19 cases has averaged 69,632 a day (an 11% increase from two weeks ago), according to New York Times data.
Are people really still being tested for COVID as much as when the virus first started?
“It’s an equation between how many people will get vaccinated and can get vaccinated, and the variant and the virus going wild,” she said. “The more people that get vaccinated, the quicker we can get back to having that summer.
WOW. Is that the new bait? Summer?
Talk about living life in the pursuit of pleasure...You wanna get back to bars and partying, take the vaccine.

Abraham Piper became a sensation on TikTok nearly overnight.
That's the very first sentence of the article. And it puts it all on a nutshell. What does present day society preach? Fame.
Make a name for yourself. Build a legacy.
Fame tends to develop faster online than in the pulpit.
That line came later in the article.
And why should it come as a surprise? If the most ardent of believers were found during the first days of the faith, we can be sure that apostasy will flourish during the last days. Society is losing hope and faith in God. They find the Most High to be impotent in the midst of such evil. Many may not articulate it but they all think it.
It is the ages-old question of theodicy. How could an omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent ,perfect God allow this madness to run rampant?
They focus on God's "delay" instead of Satan's boldness.
They are willing to condemn God in order to justify themselves.
As it is written:
There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Abraham Piper was excommunicated from his father’s church at age 19 after rejecting the faith. “At first I pretended that my reasoning was high-minded and philosophical,” he later wrote in a Christian magazine. “But really I just wanted to drink gallons of cheap sangria and sleep around.”
In other words, he just wanted to "do as thou wilt" without relying on the grace of God to get him to the point of sanctification which comes in God's timing, not our own. Did the church fail to convey that to him? Yes, at least unequivocally so. However, the veil was torn, so that no institution or tertiary party should have to come between God and man. Ultimately, the Church was never assigned to accomplish that which only Christ can do. That is what makes the sacrifice sufficient for all but only efficient to the elect.
Between the Church(bride) and the Word(groom) there is no doubt about which takes precedence in terms of authority. Question what the Church does but dont trash what the Word says while you're at it just to somehow strengthen whatever selfish point it is you are trying to make.
To the unbelieving world i say:
If you think the Church is imperfect, you are right. But you are focusing on the wrong example.
