This unity was pronounced as: “all in each place who are baptized into Jesus Christ and confess him as Lord and Saviour are brought by the Holy Spirit into one fully committed fellowship, holding the one fully committed fellowship, holding the one apostolic faith, preaching the one Gospel, breaking the one bread, joining in common prayer, and having a corporate life reaching out in witness and service to all and who at the same time are united with the whole Christian fellowship in all places and all ages, in such wise that ministry and members are accepted by all, and that can act and speak together as occasion requires for the tasks to which God calls his people”.

The Roman Catholic Church around this period of the early 1960’s was not left out. The Church was about to enter into the ecumenical movement officially but was stopped by Pope Pius XI for fear of “religious indifferentism”. The emergence of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) brought in a new Catholic thrust… Pope John XXIII came up with a special decree on Ecumenism… This made the Catholic Church a prominent participant in the modern ecumenical movement.

To set the scene, in the episode “Wedding Day Sale,” Glenn, the religious store manager, enlists the help of Mateo, a gay employee, in creating a special gay wedding section. Glenn explains, “I just want everyone who comes into this store to feel accepted,” which is a fine sentiment and a great way for a manager to treat his customers. But it leads to this discussion about Jesus being pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption, and maybe was even gay himself – a statement that FINALLY makes Glenn uncomfortable.

Lefty Hollywood loves poking its finger in the eye of Christians and disrespecting their religion. They think they're being edgy and provocative, but instead they're being lame and predictable. Hey Hollywood, you want to REALLY be edgy and provocative? Try airing a scene that has characters saying Muhammad would be pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption, and might even be gay. Let's see how that goes!

For example, scientists would have to perform extensive preliminary research in the laboratory and with animals to try to make sure it is safe. And then researchers should initially try to make only male babies, because they would be incapable of passing their unusual amalgamation of DNA on to future generations.

Critics of the research, meanwhile, say the number of women who could benefit from the experiments is so small that it's not worth crossing a line that's long been considered off-limits — making genetic changes that could be passed down for generations.

"The possibility of what you could call 'mission creep' is very real," says Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society, a watchdog group based in Berkeley, California. "People are talking about going forward not just with this but with the kind of genetic engineering that will produce outright genetically modified human beings."

Once that happens, Darnovsky says, "I think you get into a situation of where some people are genetically enhanced and other people are the regular old variety of human being. And I don't think that's a world we want to live in."

Zika virus has been linked to a birth defect called microcephaly, which causes babies to be born with brain damage and unusually small heads. Brazil has been labeled the “epicenter” of the Zika virus outbreak, with more than a million cases reported there. Perhaps not coincidentally, Brazil is also the site where the GM mosquito project was carried out – and it involved the same strain of mosquito said to be responsible for the spread of the virus.

It’s easy to see where the Zika virus crisis might fit in with Bill Gates’ admitted depopulation agenda. Not only are babies being born nearly brain-dead, but now women throughout Latin America are being urged not to have children during the next two years. Coincidence?

And in the latest Zika news, GM mosquitoes are now being considered for use in fighting the further spread of the virus. And of course, researchers are scrambling to develop a vaccine.

Deutsche Bank shares fell by nearly four per cent to close at an all-time low amid turmoil not seen since the depths of the financial crisis in 2009. Meanwhile shares in Commerzbank, Germany's second biggest lender, fell even further, by 4.65 per cent, to close at their lowest level in nearly two-and-a-half years.

Only last week Deutsche Bank posted record losses of £5.1 billion - higher than expected and enough to spark a fresh wave of desperate selling. It came as shares plunged in another stock market rout on Tuesday which also wiped billions from the value of the UK's biggest banks.

Germany is the world's fourth largest economy and the fate of the eurozone relies almost entirely on its financial security.

National public service broadcaster Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF), which was recently forced into a humiliating apology for their silence on migrant violence and sex assault is being drawn into a fresh scandal after one of their former bureau chiefs admitted the company takes orders from the government on what it reports.

He said journalists received instructions to write news that would be “to Mrs Merkel’s liking”. “Today, one is not allowed to say anything negative about the refugees” said Dr Herles, concluding: “This is government journalism and that leads to a situation in which people no longer trust us. This is a scandal.”

That the German mainstream media is not free and routinely obscures or bends the truth has been a key criticism by the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of Europe (PEGIDA) movement, which has coined phrases like Lügenpresse — the liar press — to express their frustration.

But the once-a-week pill is also known to cause vivid nightmares, anxiety and depression. In November, the Defence Select Committee launched a probe into the use of Lariam after concerns were raised by some military personnel over its safety. Now, the Government has revealed that "a minimum" of 354 - or 2 per cent - of British soldiers who have been prescribed mefloquine were subsequently assessed as having a mental health disorder.

The MoD says its medical advice is based on the current guidelines set out by Public Health England and that the figures do not prove the onset of mental health conditions are a direct result of taking the drug. However, most NATO countries have stopped using it and momentum is building behind a campaign to have its use banned.

Airlines have been placed on an "orange" warning to avoid the area following today's eruption. It came less than 48 hours after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake tore through the region, followed by a series of at least seven less powerful aftershocks. Terrified shoppers fled from a shopping mall after feeling the tremors inside.

The epicentre of the earthquake was within about 20 miles of the 1,486 metre-high magma mountain, prompting fears seismic activity is on the rise and there could be a catastrophic earthquake, volcanic eruption or both. The quake struck an area close to the Ring of Fire, an arc of fault lines circling the Pacific Ocean.

Scientists say the world is currently in volcano season, and that the Earth should expect a world-changing catastrophic eruption from one of the super volcanoes across the planet within the next 80 years. They worryingly added world leaders are woefully unprepared for the consequences.

The Palestinian narrative holds that the Temple Mount is one of the holiest sites in all of Islam and inherently belongs to Muslims and under Muslim sovereignty. Recently, several Muslim and Arab leaders have claimed that the Jews, who built the two Temples for which the Temple Mount is named 2,000 years ago, have no valid historical or religious connection to the site.

Disregarding the facts that the site only exists because Jews built temples to worship there, and that the Temple Mount was constructed thousands of years previous to the emergence of Islam, Arab leaders want Western onlookers to believe that the Temple Mount is inviolate Muslim territory.

Some, including the UN and the New York Times, have bought the theory, despite volumes of archeological evidence, and are attempting to portray the Temple Mount as a solely Muslim site, or, at least, a site whose Muslim significance outweighs its Jewish significance to the point where it is considered acceptable to forbid Jews from visiting it. If the Palestinian Arab claims were true, and the Temple Mount was actually a site of importance to Islam, one would expect that Muslims worldwide would know it.

However, the new study proves that a significant number of Muslims living next door to Israel, quite close to the Temple Mount – indeed, Muslims living in the very country which controls the Temple Mount – have never heard of al-Aqsa. Scrambling to correct this embarrassing reveal, the Islamic Council of Jerusalem quickly imposed new rules requiring students to take a course on the “Jordanian al-Aqsa Mosque”.

The survey should serve as a serious blow to the fallacy, promoted by Islamic movements, that Jewish activity or sovereignty on the Temple Mount justifies Arab violence and terror in “defense” of the “Muslim” site.

Memphis Meats, which grows meat from animal cells, says it hopes to have its animal-free products on the market in three to four years - and has unveiled the first lab-grown meatball to the public. It is one of several firms that have developed 'test tube meats' that could one day be cheaper and more environmentally friendly to produce than traditional farming.

'This is absolutely the future of meat,' said Memphis Meats CEO Uma Valeti. 'We plan to do to the meat industry what the car did to the horse and buggy. Cultured meat will completely replace the status quo and make raising animals to eat them simply unthinkable.'

The firm says its cutting-edge technique produces 90 percent less greenhouse emissions, consumes less nutrients and doesn't require antibiotics or other additives used in traditional meat production. Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who provided $330,000 to fund the world's first cultured hamburger, describes cultured meat as a technology with 'the capability to transform how we view our world.'

This isn't a one off – in fact, 27% of largemouth bass in the same region also show undesirable sex change indications. Meanwhile, an earlier report by Natural News states that tiny amounts of estrogen used in birth control pills is making its way into waterways and causing wild fish populations to collapse. With the increasing number of reports around the subject, is it possible that humans are also at risk of unwanted sex changes?

It is thought that the natural excretion of synthetic estrogen from birth control pills can be one of the leading causes of sex changes in fish, with male fish becoming feminized once they come into contact with the chemical. This causes them to produce the same hormones that female fish do and develop eggs where their testes should be.

The amount of estrogen needed to feminize male fish is thought to be very small, meaning that fish populations can drop quite dramatically after exposure to a small amount of the hormone. These sex changes have not just been recorded in fish, but also in frogs, alligators, turtles, quail and rats, with studies into whether the same effects are happening in humans well underway. The sex changes seen in fish are a strong indication that something is very wrong with our waterways – and there is a good chance it is affecting humans too.

At a Downing Street dinner with Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, Mr Cameron forced Brussels to admit Britain needs an immediate “emergency brake” on the number of foreigners coming to the UK. In a major breakthrough, the agreement would allow Mr Cameron to impose a four-year ban on migrants claiming in-work benefits in the UK immediately after the referendum. The concession by Mr Tusk suggests that he has the agreement of the 27 other EU member states, meaning that none of them is likely to veto.

Mr Tusk had been due to publish his final offer to the UK today, but has now agreed to hold another 24 hours of talks after Mr Cameron told him that the deal on the table was “not good enough”. The Prime Minister warned Mr Tusk that Britain could vote to leave the EU unless Brussels does more to ensure that the number of foreigners coming to the UK is reduced.

On Sunday night Mr Tusk accepted Mr Cameron’s demand that any “emergency brake” comes into force immediately. It allows Mr Cameron to reject claims that his “emergency brake” will be subject to a veto by Brussels. The concession appears to be the first time that the EU has accepted that freedom of movement – the rule allowing citizens of the bloc to live and work in any member state – puts a strain on prosperous countries like the UK.

The President does not have to deploy the US military to turn America into a militarized police state, however. He can use his unlimited authority to expand programs that turn local police forces into adjuncts of the US military, and send them increasing amounts of military equipment. Using the threat of ISIS to justify increased police militarization will be enthusiastically supported by police unions, local officials, and, of course, politically-powerful defense contractors. The only opposition will come from citizens whose rights have been violated by a militarized police force that views the people as the enemy.

As the American economy faces continued stagnation, and as challenges to the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency mount, an increasingly authoritarian government will impose new restrictions on our economic activities and new limits on our financial privacy. In particular, our ability to move assets out of the country will be limited, and new reporting and other requirements will limit our ability to use cash without being treated as criminals or terrorists. Those who carry large amounts of cash will find themselves at increased risk of having the cash confiscated by government agents under civil asset forfeiture laws.

If Senator McConnell’s declaration of perpetual war passes, presidents could use the war on ISIS as a justification to impose new restrictions on our use of cash and our financial privacy via executive action. After all, they will say, the government needs to make sure cash is not being used to support ISIS.
