I would like to study with you is how Satan has used church leaders to weaken the confidence of the members in the health reform message that by these leaders disdain for the message the health reform message and their ungodly communication concerning this wonderful message. The church members feel no urgency or necessity for accepting and obeying this important truth. Begin by reading a few passages from the word of God.

On Thursday, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the commutation of 548 death sentences, reducing the sentence of everyone on the state’s death row to life without parole.
California has more people sentenced to capital punishment than any other state, but for years there has been a moratorium on carrying out the death penalty. Newsom’s action ensures that the moratorium is permanent for those 548 individuals.
The action doesn’t abolish the death penalty in the state, meaning that future convictions could result in death sentences. It also commutes all capital punishment sentences to lifetime imprisonment without the possibility of parole, a move that ensures these individuals will still face death by incarceration.
But the move is being praised as a step in the right direction — one that could result in other states following suit.
Newsom said that he made the decision to commute the sentences of everyone on death row “because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California’s values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us.”
“I have decided to commute every death sentence,” he said.

How much influence have the Jesuits had on American history—and does that influence continue today?
In Part 2 of this fascinating three-part series, Joe Horn continues his conversation with award-winning filmmaker and historian Chris Pinto about his documentary, American Jesuits: A History of Jesuitism in the United States.
Together they explore historical claims surrounding the Jesuit Order's presence in America, examining their role from the earliest colonies through pivotal moments in U.S. history. The discussion also looks at the relationship between religion, politics, medicine, and ideology, asking whether connections exist that many people have never considered.
In this episode you'll discover:
• Why many early Protestants viewed the Jesuits as a significant influence in the New World• The historical context surrounding the American Revolution, Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War• Claims regarding Jesuit influence on education, politics, and medicine• Discussions involving Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler, and other controversial historical figures• Why Chris Pinto believes these overlooked historical connections deserve renewed attention
Whether you agree with these conclusions or are hearing these ideas for the first time, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at one of history's most debated religious orders and its alleged impact on America.

‘Bloodshed Will Occur’: Muslims Use Threats, Protests And Paperwork To Keep Christians From Building Churches
Christians in Indonesia face an underreported pattern of threats and protests as radical Islamists weaponize bureaucratic red tape to stop them from practicing their faith, even in private residences.
Though reporting is largely limited to citizen journalists and small Christian publications, a review of reported incidents reveals a tried-and-true method used to repress Christians in the world’s most populous Islamic nation, despite religious freedom being guaranteed by law.
While the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia guarantees “all persons the freedom of worship, each according to his/her own religion or belief,” heavy permitting requirements make it increasingly difficult for religious minorities to establish places of public worship. This gives hostile groups of Muslims an opportunity to stop Christians from practicing their faith.
Fredrik J. Pinakunary, chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Indonesian Christian Legal Society, told the Daily Caller that while established minority communities, such as Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists, remain relatively peaceful and secure, “friction typically flares around two specific flashpoints: applying for and constructing new places of worship, and holding non-routine religious gatherings outside registered sanctuaries—such as residential prayer meetings, or special holiday gatherings.”
For Christians, these flashpoints can leave them with two choices: apply for a permit and endure years of red tape while facing continual protests, or hold small worship and prayer services that risk being interrupted by threats of violence. Those threats often end in local meetings that let the person making them off the hook while the church is forced to suspend services.
“If you don’t close it, bloodshed will occur inside,” a machete-wielding Muslim man, accompanied by a few others, said as he interrupted a prayer service involving approximately 40 Christians in late September, according to Morning Star News. “Yes, I am not afraid to die … For Allah, I am not afraid to die.”
As the congregants fled, the man continued, justifying his outrage by claiming the prayer rooms lacked permits and that he was part of “the majority.”
Despite the threats, the man was not immediately arrested. Instead, he met with community leaders, where he offered his “deepest apologies.” The meeting initially resulted in an agreement to take no legal action, but the settlement later collapsed after officials ordered the prayer house closed, according to Morning Star News.

Abdul El-Sayed Won His Senate Seat With a Mandate on Palestine. Can He Deliver?
The new senator from Michigan will face an uphill battle if he wants to transform the U.S. relationship with Israel. But he has options — and public pressure.
One senator out of the 100 who will fill the upper chamber of the 120th Congress was elected to his seat on a loud campaign promise to end U.S. complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Abdul El-Sayed will walk into a newfound Democratic majority after animating his base with pro-Palestine pledges seldom heard from a U.S. Senate contender. As a first-term senator, he’ll lack seniority on the committees to which he’s assigned. And although his critiques of the U.S. relationship with Israel have proven overwhelmingly popular in public opinion surveys and among voters at the polls, the same can’t be said for most of his soon-to-be colleagues.
“It’s going to be a fight,” said Beth Miller, political advocacy director for Jewish Voice for Peace Action, which supported El-Sayed’s campaign. “The Democratic establishment, when it’s in control, has not taken measures in support of Palestine in the past. And so this is about making sure that now they finally start listening to what the overwhelming majority of their bases say.”
El-Sayed’s run marked the first time the Jewish-led, anti-Zionist group backed a Senate campaign. Pro-Palestine lobbying groups like JVP Action have been pushing for legislation to block weapons transfers to Israel for years, aligning themselves with a small but growing number of left-leaning House members. The group helped author the Block the Bombs Act, introduced by Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., which netted 82 co-sponsors and became a pro-Palestine litmus test in some Democratic primary campaigns.

Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul travel to Puerto Rico for annual conference
By Anthony Carlo
Friday, November 6, 2026 6:49PM ET
Anthony Carlo has more on Mayor Mamdani and Gov. Hochul's remarks on Friday.
PUERTO RICO (WABC) -- Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani traveled to Puerto Rico this week, where they joined other elected officials for the annual Somos Conference and discussed support for the U.S. territory following Democrats' midterm election victories.
The two leaders appeared together Tuesday and spoke optimistically about the political landscape following what they described as a Democratic "blue wave."
Mamdani said the election results could create new opportunities for working-class Americans.
"There's a potential in that, that we can finally start to deliver for working class people across this country," said Mamdani.
Hochul said she hopes the federal government will renew its commitment to Puerto Rico.
"It's a whole new day of responsibility of the federal government to Puerto Rico. And what we've seen over the last two years is really an abandonment of that commitment and we hope to have all those wounds heal," said Hochul.
The governor's remarks came after Democrats swept the midterm elections, a result she said would help provide accountability and strengthen support for Puerto Rico.
Hochul and Mamdani were among a group of elected officials attending the annual conference on the island, which has faced challenges including chronic power outages and water shortages.
The governor said Democratic control of Congress could help secure additional resources for Puerto Rico and address immigration enforcement concerns.
Pope Leo XIV Opens Latin America Trip in Uruguay With Call for Health Care for All

Asiatoday.id – Montevideo. Pope Leo XIV opened his first journey to Latin America as pope in Uruguay on Friday, arriving in Montevideo after a 13-hour flight from Rome and calling for health care that reaches everyone, regardless of their means. Speaking at the Plaza de Independencia before President Yamandú Orsi and other dignitaries, he drew on his own recent illness to press the case for protecting the most vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly. The visit, which runs from November 6 to 17 and will also take him to Argentina and Peru, is the first by a pope to Uruguay since John Paul II visited in 1988.
The pope’s chartered ITA Airways flight touched down at Montevideo-Carrasco International Airport in the afternoon, where he was greeted by young people and welcomed by Orsi. At the welcome ceremony in the Plaza de Independencia, he addressed political and diplomatic representatives, civil society and business leaders before holding a private meeting with the president at the Edificio José Artigas. The mayor of Montevideo also presented him with the key to the city, and he closed the day with a vespers service at the Metropolitan Cathedral alongside bishops, clergy, religious and seminarians.
A Journey Weeks After Surgery
The trip comes just 24 days after the pope underwent surgery on October 13 to remove the lower lobe of his right lung, an operation to treat a localized lung adenocarcinoma. His doctors confirmed the following week that he did not require further oncological treatment, and he told journalists aboard the flight from Rome that he had never doubted the journey should go ahead. He said he felt well, thanked the medical teams who had cared for him, and said faith had given him the strength to face the difficulties of illness.
Asked what advice he would give people facing a cancer diagnosis, he replied, “Not to be afraid.” He urged early detection and regular check-ups, and when asked the secret of his quick recovery, he answered, “Trust in God, good doctors, good surgeons, and overall, a healthy lifestyle.” He added that the experience had given him a sense of commitment to staying close to those who are sick, and said he planned to speak in Uruguay about how health care should be a right for all people.

Leader of doomsday cult jailed for 200 years for murdering 190 children
Paul Mackenzie ordered followers at the Good News International Church to starve themselves to death in Shakahola forest
(Picture: Reuters)
The leader of a Kenyan doomsday cult linked to the deaths of more than 400 people has been given a 200-year sentence.
Paul Mackenzie, who led an apocalyptic Christian church in a forest near the Indian Ocean coast, told his followers to starve themselves to death, along with their children, to reach heaven before the end of the world.
He was convicted of the murders of 190 children and one adult alongside 28 of his followers.
They including guards who enforced his fasting directives and gravediggers who helped conceal the mass graves.
The case stems from the April 2023 discovery of mass graves eventually found to contain 448 bodies in Shakahola Forest, where cult members lived off grid in mud huts.
Mackenzie is also accused of ordering the deaths of 52 people found at a separate location in a village 20 miles away, bringing the suspected death toll to 500.
He has pleaded not guilty in that case.
During the sentencing, Justice Diana Kavedza said that 183 victims died of starvation, defined as a complete lack of food, and the other eight were classified as murder by direct homicide.
She said the killings were ‘cold and calculated’ and dismissed claims by some of the accused that the loss of their own children altered the fact that they had participated in the killings of many other children.
From Stonehenge to Modern Day Witchcraft: The Occult Isn’t a Fad
From Stonehenge to Modern Day Witchcraft: The Occult Isn’t a Fad
John 14:6
Nov 2, 2026
00:00 - Introduction: Darkness, the occult throughout history, and spiritual conflict
From Stonehenge to modern suburbia, this account exposes the occult as a real, enduring, and dangerous spiritual force that has survived and flourished in every age through false religions, strange philosophies, divination, witchcraft, demon possession, and satanic influence. It presents humanity’s search for God and meaning as a search that has too often led people away from the Creator and toward counterfeit spiritual powers: ancient peoples built monuments and practiced sun and moon worship, while Babylon, Baalbek, Egypt, and other civilizations turned to idols, human sacrifice, and rituals intended to reach or control the divine. The Bible’s warnings against stargazers, spell-casters, mediums, fortune-tellers, and those who speak with demons are presented not as outdated prohibitions but as a consistent revelation of a continuing spiritual conflict—one that reappeared in Greece and Rome’s planetary worship, in Israel’s rampant demon activity, and again in today’s growing interest in astrology, tarot, Ouija boards, Eastern mysticism, witchcraft, and Satanism. The message insists that these practices are not harmless curiosities or mere commercial fads: they can begin with curiosity or a desire for power, then create fear, superstition, bondage, and increasingly deeper involvement, ultimately opening people to demonic influence. Yet the answer has never been education, materialism, or human ingenuity, but spiritual deliverance through Jesus Christ, who confronted evil spirits, forgave sin, and demonstrated authority over darkness; Paul’s command for a demon to leave a young witch and prophetess illustrates that same authority. The testimony of a young woman involved in an alleged satanic human sacrifice underscores how deeply evil can distort a life, but her later deliverance through Christ shows that no past is beyond His forgiveness and restoring power. The central truth is that the occult offers destruction disguised as enlightenment, while Jesus Christ offers a greater power—one that builds rather than destroys, brings hope where there is despair, and gives lasting freedom, purpose, and peace.

The Pope Confronts One of His Toughest Political Challenges
Leo’s upcoming trip to South America is an early test of how he will handle the rise of right-wing populists.
November 6, 2026, 7 AM ET
Less than a month after losing part of a lung, Pope Leo XIV set out this morning on one of the longest and most ambitious trips of his pontificate. Over the course of 11 days and 12 flights, Leo will travel from South America’s Southern Cone to the high Andes and the Amazon Rainforest. Much of the Catholic world will be focused on how its 71-year-old leader, just a few weeks removed from cancer surgery, bears the physical challenge that the trip presents. But perhaps the most important challenge he will face is political.
Catholic social teaching does not line up with the ideological commitments of either the left or the right. Yet the global rise of right-wing populism has determined many of the political battles that Leo will confront as pope, particularly over the next week and a half. The center-left recently scored a victory in Brazil, but most countries in Latin America are governed by right-wing or center-right leaders, many of them populist. These include two stops on the pope’s itinerary: Argentina and his adopted home of Peru, where he served as a missionary and bishop for about two decades.
Leo’s trip is an early test of how he’ll address the Church’s disagreements with the right-wing populist leaders ascendant not only in Latin America but also in Europe, the historic heartland of the Catholic Church. The emphasis he puts on either conciliation or confrontation could indicate how he’ll handle a geopolitical challenge that will shape his pontificate.
Crime might be the issue that best explains the rise of the South American right. Latin America and the Caribbean together have the world’s highest homicide rate, nearly four times the global average. About half of the population of this region feels unsafe walking alone at night, compared with about a quarter of people globally, according to a Gallup.

Women, Ordination and the Unity of the Church
By Claude Lombart | 5 November 2026 |
For decades, women’s ordination has been a thorn in the flesh of Seventh-day Adventist administration. It has consumed study commissions, committee hours and enormous emotional energy.
Importantly, it has exposed deeper questions: How should we interpret Scripture? What belongs to unchanging biblical principle, and what reflects culture? How can a worldwide church remain united when sincere believers reach different conclusions?
The debate is often presented as though one side honors Scripture while the other has surrendered to modern culture. That is unfair. Faithful Adventists on both sides love the Bible and the church. One side fears disobedience to God’s order; the other fears resistance to God’s Spirit.
God asks each side to hear the spiritual concern beneath the other’s conclusion.
The biblical case against women’s ordinationThose opposing women’s ordination generally begin with creation. Adam was formed before Eve, and Paul refers to this order when restricting women from teaching or exercising authority over men (1 Timothy 2:11–15). The qualifications for elders describe an overseer as “the husband of one wife” who manages his household well (1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9). Paul also addresses male headship and women’s silence in certain congregational settings (1 Corinthians 11:2–16; 14:34–35).
Jesus treated women with extraordinary dignity, welcomed them as disciples and entrusted the first resurrection announcement to them. Nevertheless, He chose twelve men as apostles. Opponents consider this deliberate and see male pastoral leadership as part of the apostolic pattern.
The Catholic Church says that Christ entrusted particular responsibility to Peter: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). Combined with its doctrines of apostolic succession and sacramental priesthood, Catholicism sees an all-male priesthood as continuing Christ’s choice of male apostles.

NATO Drafts Deep-Strike Plan to Hit Russian Bases and Supply Lines if Moscow Attacks

Takeaways Up Front
1. NATO is drafting plans to answer a Russian attack on alliance territory with conventional strikes deep inside Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported.
2. Targets would span bases, supply depots, infrastructure and defense plants, 93 miles to thousands of miles behind the front.
3. Twelve allies pledged $50 billion to long-range strike systems at July’s Ankara summit, but most European missiles remain years away.
NATO is developing defense plans that would respond to a Russian attack on alliance territory by striking military bases, supply networks and industrial plants deep inside Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported November 3.
The approach marks a shift from decades of planning built around halting an advance at the border. Alliance strategists now hold that stopping a Russian offensive means reaching the forces, factories and logistics that sustain it, a lesson drawn from nearly five years of fighting in Ukraine.
Brotherhood Incompatible with Religious Freedom, Supremacy Clause

"El-Sayed battles claims of family links to Muslim Brotherhood” was the first-page top headline of the print edition of The Washington Times on Oct. 19, 2026.
The article has some good facts, but one portion could be interpreted as being misleading: it is not accurate to report about the Muslim Brotherhood simply that, "The U.S. has not designated it as a terrorist organization, although Hamas emerged from the movement's Palestinian branch and is designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization."
An accurate report would have acknowledged that on Nov. 24, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order, "Designation of Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists."
Section 1 of that executive order reads: "The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has developed into a transnational network with chapters across the Middle East and beyond.
"Relevant here, its chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns that harm their own regions, United States citizens, and United States interests.
The Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood was added to the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions list on March 9, 2026.
The Muslim Brotherhood's motto since the 1920s, as explained in my 2014 article, is this: "Allah is our objective; the Koran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and dying in the way of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."
A month ago, The Federalist announced the formation of a new "Alliance for Islamic Remigration," the core values of which are the antithesis of the Muslim Brotherhood motto.
In his Sept. 30, 2026, article, Joshua Monnington reported that, "Several conservative groups are launching a coalition to safeguard America’s ‘constitutional order’ from the rising tide of Islam and its left-wing political allies."
