MUITO TRISTE !!! ... FAMÍLIA !!!!: Hoje começa a debater a iniciativa da lei de proteção doméstica no Senado da República. Que contempla - Prisão religiosa por pregar em horas impróprias. -Sanção às congregações que têm um grande volume no momento de celebrar sua adoração. -Sanção aos que andam nas ruas e visitam casas incomodando pedestres e violando a integridade da família. Foi até discutido como uma violação da liberdade de culto impor a leitura da Bíblia. Vamos ter um momento para orar, não importa se você está no trabalho, na escola, no caminhão ou em casa, procure um momento para orar a Deus e pedir que ele toque o coração dos deputados e senadores, para refletir e não aprovar esta iniciativa . Isso trará se aprovada, uma perseguição à igreja ... estamos vivendo tempos difíceis, ore. . É necessário informar o maior número de pessoas. Nossa mensagem, porque acho que você vai gostar. Por favor, Levará menos de 2 minutos Olha, na Europa eles já o aprovaram. Lembre-se, Jesus disse: "Se alguém se declarar a meu favor diante dos homens, eu também me declararei a seu favor perante meu Pai Celestial e se alguém me negar diante dos homens, também o negarei diante de meu Pai". Por favor, se alguém tiver outros grupos, envie-o! Pelo menos não para você e eu. Encaminhando a todo o povo de Deus que esteja em oração a cada momento, clamamos em uma voz para que os legisladores não aprovem esta lei. * unidos em oração somos mais fortes

Supreme Court said Ayodhya is Lord Ram’s birthplace Ram Mandir to be built from 5th November.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY examined a Facebook post claiming the Supreme Court had declared Ayodhya to be Lord Ram’s birthplace and that construction of the Ram Mandir would begin on November 5. The review’s account identifies this as the same claim and states its central finding: “The Supreme Court did not give any verdict in the Ayodhya case.” The review describes two checks. It says a Google search using the keywords “ayodhya ram mandir to be built from november 5” returned no relevant information. It also cites an India Today article reporting that a Rajasthan BJP MLA had claimed the temple would be built by November 17. According to the review’s account of that article, Supreme Court arguments were still underway, were due to wrap up by October 17, and a judgment was expected by November 17—not that one had already been issued or that construction would start November 5. The review therefore distinguishes a politician’s claim and an anticipated court decision from an actual Supreme Court verdict. Its conclusion is that, at the time it assessed the post, the Court had not ruled on Lord Ram’s birthplace or the temple’s construction. The evidence supplied supports that conclusion; the excerpt does not reproduce the post’s archived contents or the India Today article itself.

Demi Lovato se ha convertido al Islam

Publisher’s rating: Falso

Newtral investigated a viral message claiming that Demi Lovato was retiring and converting to Islam. The message paired an Arabic-language tweet with an alleged automatic translation and a photograph of Lovato wearing a veil. The review says the claim was false, distinguishing what the viral post asserted from evidence about Lovato’s career and religious background. On the career claim, Newtral says Lovato’s official website had no retirement announcement. It also points to an Instagram post from August 27 announcing that she would appear in the final season of NBC’s Will & Grace, as evidence that she remained active and had new projects. These details address the retirement part of the viral message, not by themselves the claim about her religion. For the religious claim, the review describes an October 1 Instagram post about Lovato’s trip to Israel. In its caption, Lovato said she had been raised Christian, with Jewish roots, and expressed happiness at visiting places she had read about in the Bible and at being baptized in the Jordan River, which she identified as the place where Jesus was baptized. Newtral also says it contacted Hollywood Records for comment but received no response. The excerpt does not describe an independent examination of the Arabic tweet or its translation; its stated evidence instead includes Lovato’s own post and the absence of a retirement announcement.
