“But if the watchman
see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if
the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his
iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

[1] Lawsuits
and Chaos Paralyze the Hungarian Reformed Church in America
The
Hungarian Free Press on 27 June 2020 published an article titled Lawsuits
and Chaos Paralyze the Hungarian Reformed Church in America, which reports
that the Hungarian
Reformed Church in America (HRCA) is in chaos and is “paralyzed” due to
several lawsuits between several churches and the HRCA moving slowly through
courts in Arizona and California due to delays caused by the Corona Virus crisis.
The article describes problems with several HRCA
churches and their ministers, including one minister that has left the
denomination and desires to work independently of the Reformed Church in Hungary
in Budapest.

the top five Covid-19 vaccine research companies, Moderna, Inovio,
CanSino, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson, are all using aborted
baby cell lines to fuel their research and build their vaccines.

[3] Pope Says Judas Is Possibly in
Heaven
Speaking at a papal mass on April 8, Pope Francis
said, "Something that calls my attention is that Jesus never calls him
'traitor': [Jesus] says he will be betrayed, but he doesn't say to [Judas],
'traitor.' He never says, 'Go away, traitor.' Never. In fact, he calls him,
'Friend,' and he kisses him. ... How did Judas end up? I don't know. Jesus
threatens forcefully here; he threatens forcefully: 'woe to that man by whom
the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had
never been born.' But does that mean that Judas is in Hell? I don't know."
The pope also said there is a "little Judas that each one of us has
within" ("Satan pays badly, warns pope," Aleteia,
Apr. 8, 2020). The pope lightly passes over the words of Jesus that it would be
better for Judas if he had never been born (Mt. 26:24). When the apostles chose
a replacement for Judas after Christ's ascension, they prayed, "Thou,
Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of
these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and
apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his
own place" (Acts 1:24-25). What is Judas' own place? Jesus answered this
in His high priestly prayer, as He said to the Father, "While I was with
them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have
kept, and none of them is lost, but the SON OF PERDITION; that the scripture
might be fulfilled" (John 17:12). "Perdition" is the Greek apoleia,
which is also translated "destruction" (Mt. 7:13) and "damnation"
(2 Pe.2:3). It is used for eternal judgment in Romans 9:22; Philippians 3:19;
Hebrews 10:39; 2 Peter 2:1, 3; 3:7, 16; and Revelation 17:8, 11. The antichrist
is also called "the son of perdition" (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

In a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a
Louisiana law that required abortionists to maintain local hospital privileges.
This ruling in June Medical Services v. Russo has left women
vulnerable to abortionists who travel from state to state, dumping women on
emergency rooms when things go wrong.
Chief Justice John Roberts flipped to join the leftist
majority against the Louisiana safety law similar to one he voted to uphold in
the 2016 Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt case.
"Once again the U.S. Supreme Court has chosen to
betray the trust of women, leaving them defenseless against what is tantamount
to patient abandonment and potentially fatal breaks in their continuity of care
by what we call traveling 'Fly-By-Night' abortionists," said Operation
Rescue President Troy Newman, whose organization documents medical emergencies at abortion
facilities.
"Abortionists oppose hospital privilege requirements because they know
they cannot meet the high standards hospitals require, and because they
understand that their botched abortions pose a liabilities that hospitals are
hesitant to assume."
Operation Rescue filed an amicus brief in this case supporting the Louisiana law.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh all
dissented, and each wrote their own dissenting opinion.
Justice Thomas wrote, "Today a majority of the
Court perpetuates its ill-founded abortion jurisprudence by enjoining a
perfectly legitimate state law and doing so without jurisdiction."
Thomas explained that abortionists and abortion
facilities, not women who were impaired in their so-called right to take the
lives of their unborn babies.
"Their sole claim before this Court is that
Louisiana's law violates the purported substantive due process right of a woman
to abort her unborn child. But they concede that this right does not belong to
them, and they seek to vindicate no private rights of their own. Under a proper
understanding of Article III, these plaintiffs lack standing to invoke our
jurisdiction," Justice Thomas concluded.
"We expect that today's ruling will only add to
abortion dangers for women and may result in an increase of abortions in the
U.S.," said Newman. "This is a tragedy that we lay at the
doorstep of Justice Roberts, who actually knows better, but has decided to put
his alliance with leftist activist justices above protecting the public from
harm. His part in this travesty is a disgrace."
