I hope the Pope is not endorsing or encouraging any sexual behaviors other than between a married man and woman. It certainly sounds like it from the article. If people want to choose deviant sexual behaviors (including fornication, adultery and many other sinful types) that is their choice, but choices have consequences. We will be judged by our thoughts, words and deeds in the next life. As Joshua said many years ago: ". . . choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15) We should be encouraging people to forsake their sins and turn to the LORD so He can cleanse and forgive them.

21st October 2020 -- NewsMax Pope Francis endorsed same-sex civil unions for the first time as pontiff while being interviewed for the feature-length documentary “Francesco,” which premiered Wednesday at the Rome Film Festival. The papal thumbs-up came midway through the film that delves into issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. “Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God,” Francis said in one of his sit-down interviews for the film. “You can't kick someone out of a family, nor make their life miserable for this. What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered.” While serving as archbishop of Buenos Aires, Francis endorsed civil unions for gay couples as an alternative to same-sex marriages. However, he had never come out publicly in favor of civil unions as pope.

Planet Discovered Around Barnard's Star
Still_Small_Voice replied to Still_Small_Voice's topic in General Discussion
Voyager 1 spacecraft probe is now in Instellar space from what I read. It is about 14 billion miles away from the Earth in space now. And 14 billion miles is not even far at all when you consider Alpha Centari A and B stars are about 4.3 light years away and the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light years from one side to the other. -
Planet Discovered Around Barnard's Star
Still_Small_Voice replied to Still_Small_Voice's topic in General Discussion
Excuse the math if I messed up. The distance of the Moon from the Earth is about 222,000 miles depending on where the Moon is at in its orbit. Barnard's Star is only a little over 158,878,378 times further away than the Moon. The Space Shuttle travels up to about 17,500 miles per hour. Traveling at about that speed it would only take you around 229,920 years to get to Barnard's star. -
Are members in your area: Awake or Asleep?
Still_Small_Voice replied to NeedleinA's topic in General Discussion
I am hoping it does not come down to this but I am not counting it out. If you leave your home you become a refugee. All my supplies are at home and I want to be near them. But I will try to do what ever the LORD tells me I need to do. -

Still_Small_Voice replied to NeedleinA's topic in General Discussion
The best thing you can do to prepare in my opinion is build up your food, water storage (also take an inventory and get an idea of what you have as you can forget what you already have in your storage) and have a decent first aid kit. Listening to the Holy Spirit on what you should do for other preparations that you need to do is essential. Exercise as well and do what you can to keep your body in decent physical condition. -
If Biden wins he won't even make it one term as President. Kamala Harris would take over. His mind is weak and going. Personally I have never seen the Democrats run such a weak candidate for President in my opinion.

Kanye West is also running for President. I like the message he is giving that we as a nation need to turn back to God. Trump has surprised me with the over all good job he has done. I voted for him in 2016 and I will gladly vote for him again in 2020. Edit: Here is some of Kanye's message: "We will build a stronger country by building stronger families. Families are the building blocks of society, of a nation. By turning to faith, we will be the kind of nation, the kind of people God intends us to be," he said.

Planet Discovered Around Barnard's Star
Still_Small_Voice replied to Still_Small_Voice's topic in General Discussion
That is going to be my next vacation. I am going to the planet that orbits Barnard's Star. It is only about 35.271 trillion miles away from here. -
I know this is old news, but I just read about it recently. November 23rd 2018 Astronomers have found that Barnard’s star — a very close, fast-moving, and long studied red dwarf — has a super-Earth sized planet orbiting just beyond its habitable zone. The discovery relied on data collected over many years using the tried-and-true radial velocity method, which searches for wobbles in the movement of the host star. But this detection was something big for radial velocity astronomers because Barnard-b was among the smallest planet ever found using the technique, and it was the furthest out from its host star as well — orbiting its star every 233 days. For more than a century, astronomers have studied Barnard’s star as the most likely place to find an extrasolar planet. Ultimately, said Ignasi Rablis of Spain’s Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia, lead author of the paper in journal Nature, the discovery was the result of 771 observations, an extremely high number. And now, he said, “after a very careful analysis, we are over 99 percent confident the planet is there.” https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/barnards-star/

Timelapse of the Future - Very interesting video I found
Still_Small_Voice replied to Fether's topic in General Discussion
I have watched parts of this video many times. The soundtrack is spectacular. The music is so good that I bought it. I lose interest after they predict the Earth will consumed by the Sun. We know it will not be in the future. One thing I found interesting was scientists believe that it takes so long for a black dwarf to form that they think there are not any of them in our galaxy. When many stars eventually die, they will become an object that doesn’t emit light or heat, and is devoid of any radiation—a black dwarf. Black dwarfs are a projected state of a low-mass star, but they don’t currently exist, as our universe is not old enough for them to have formed. Scientists think this process takes many trillions of years. -
So my longtime friend thinks Pope Francis is the Antichrist
Still_Small_Voice replied to Kawazu's topic in General Discussion
What if the rapture never happens and the followers of the LORD need to go through the tribulations before He comes back? I hope you won't lose faith in the LORD. I am afraid that many will lose faith and not have enough "oil in their lamps" to endure hardships and trying times of faith. I hope I can endure trials that the followers of the LORD will have. -
by Jordan Michaels on October 5, 2020 A bowhunter in Mississippi got more than she bargained for last Thursday when she discovered an adult black bear hanging out in the same persimmon tree that she was using to hunt whitetail. Stephanie McGarrh was so excited to start hunting on the first day of archery season that she made sure to get into her tree stand before daylight. “It was really dark,” McGarrh told the Clarion Ledger. “I wanted to get in the stand while it was still dark and get settled in.” But right away she knew something was wrong. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/hunt365-mississippi-hunter-discovers-black-bear-in-tree-stand-with-her/

When Trump and his wife got Wuhan Coronavirus I thought that they would both likely recover from it within a few weeks because they would get such good health care. More and more people in America are also surviving this virus because they have discovered how to treat this disease. Most people were making full recoveries from it anyway before they gained even more knowledge about it.

Pastor with Prophetic Vision
Still_Small_Voice replied to priesthoodpower's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
I keep thinking about what President Nelson said in April 2019: “ As President of His Church, I plead with you who have distanced yourselves from the Church and with you who have not yet really sought to know that the Savior’s Church has been restored. Do the spiritual work to find out for yourselves, and please do it now. Time is running out .” I have been getting promptings from the Holy Spirit that some judgments and violence are going to come upon us in the United States. I do not know when. From what I have heard there are some violent uprisings being wickedly planned for the November 2020 elections. Get your own revelations from the LORD on what you need to do to prepare. I think Saints and neighbors are going to need to lean on each other for support in days ahead. And I hope I am wrong in my timeline predictions. I hate violence and chaos and do not want to see it. -
The Law of Consecration and Stewardship
Still_Small_Voice replied to Carborendum's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
I heard it described in even more simple terms. I like the below definitions. The spirit of socialism: We are going to take. The spirit of capitalism: I am going to take care of myself. The spirit of Consecration: We are going to give. -
I like how someone else described this debate. He said: It's like listening to my kids after asking who and how something got broken.

Confirming an New Supreme Court Judge
Still_Small_Voice replied to Traveler's topic in Current Events
The Democrats hate Amy Coney Barrett because she believes in the Constitution and wants to support the Bill of Rights. This empowers the people and takes power away from the Federal government. Progressives want to expand Federal power and empower themselves. -
The debate moderator should have had a microphone kill switch. There were parts of the debate where they were just talking over each other. It happened far too much in the debate in my opinion.

One crazy thought that I learned recently is if you make more than $32,350 in United States currency per year you are among the top one percent of global earners. If you are among the top one percent of global earners and pay your tithing imagine what these tithes and offerings can do for saints in foreign countries.

Liberty Counsel reported this: Pastor Trieber has served at North Valley Baptist Church for 45 years. In March, when Governor Newsom issued a total prohibition on religious worship services, regardless of the number attending or whether social distancing and personal hygiene practices were followed, including attendance at in-home worship services. North Valley Baptist Church ceased its in-person worship services, K4 through 12 Christian school, college, bus ministry, jail ministry, public school ministry, nursing home ministry, door-to-door visitation, hospital visitation, children’s ministries and Sunday School. “We wanted to err on the side of safety so we shut down everything. And we closed down as we were instructed,” said Pastor Trieber. However, now that the church is meeting again, he has been forced to risk imprisonment and incur unconstitutional fees in order to stand for God and for his congregation. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “As a result of Governor Newsom’s unconstitutional orders, North Valley Baptist Church is now incurring horrendous fees for simply exercising its First Amendment right to worship. Yet, Governor Newsom supports tens of thousands of protestors, saying ‘God bless you. Keep doing it.’ This is wrong, and the governor’s unconstitutional hostility and discrimination against religious worship must end.” After the Santa Clara County Public Health Office posted a cease and desist letter on North Valley Baptist Church’s doors on Friday, August 21, 2020 the government has now fined the church $52,750 as of September 1, 2020. https://lc.org/newsroom/details/090220-county-throws-unconstitutional-fines-at-ca-church-1

Netflix’s upcoming underage twerking movie - “Cuties”
Still_Small_Voice replied to NeuroTypical's topic in General Discussion
Because many people only lived to around the age 45 in the older days so they married younger. At least that is what I have discovered in my study of history though I may be wrong. I personally feel it too young to marry below sixteen in the older days (1910 and earlier). A girl or boy had not fully developed physically. Current Utah law allows for a sixteen year old to marry with parental permission though I feel that is too young presently. Marriage should be reserved for ages 17 and older in my opinion.
