Green tea compounds block key enzyme that allows coronavirus to replicate – study

Green tea compounds block key enzyme that allows coronavirus to replicate – study By Virgilio Marin for Prevention A study published in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science shows that chemical compounds in green tea and other plant-based foods can block the activity of a key enzyme in the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) found that many polyphenols in these foods are able to inhibit the function of “main protease” (Mpro) by directly binding to it. Without the activity of this enzyme, SARS-CoV-2 cannot remain viable for long. “Mpro in SARS-CoV-2…

Who is Jesus Christ?

Who is Jesus Christ? from Compelling Truth Other than the most hardened skeptics, everyone agrees that Jesus Christ actually existed and walked the earth some 2000 years ago. Many believe He was a prophet, a good man, and also a great moral teacher. But, in the Bible we discover that Jesus Christ was far more than a good man, prophet, or teacher. What C.S. Lewis pointed out in his book Mere Christianity, a lot of people still say today, “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I…

Here’s More Proof That the Transgender Movement Is Insane and Extremely Dangerous BY MATT MARGOLIS for PJ Media “There will be enormous difficulties in a child under 16 understanding and weighing up this information and deciding whether to consent to the use of puberty-blocking medication,” read the ruling.  “It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers.

WILL I EVER OBEY GOD LIKE I WANT TO?

WILL I EVER OBEY GOD LIKE I WANT TO? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity I’m writing to the Christian who feels depressed because they repeatedly fail to obey God’s law. It’s not that you want to disobey, but instead you say with Paul, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (Rom. 7:15). You love God but you don’t love him perfectly. In fact, sometimes you even question if your love is sincere. “If I really loved God, would I have responded like that!?” You…

Local Churches as Centers of Resistance

Local Churches as Centers of Resistance by Michael L. Brown It is true that our elected officials help determine the direction of the nation. That is why we emphasize the importance of voting and staying involved in the political process. But it is also true that God’s people, gathered together in local congregations, can have an even greater influence on the direction of the nation, especially when we make up a substantial part of the population. As Jesus put it, we, His followers, are called to be the salt of the…

In time, things changed—his friend began to use profanity and was disrespectful toward his family. Although his mother and father…

This Kingdom Staple Must Be Reestablished Publicly for Christianity to Survive

This Kingdom Staple Must Be Reestablished Publicly for Christianity to Survive by DAVID LANE for Charisma News We had hoped that the Nov. 3 elections would provide insight into what the living God is saying to a nation anchorless and morally adrift. As of this writing, we are still waiting to see which candidate will be sworn in as president of the United States on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. Holy silence itself is a speech, provided there be an ear to hear it. An “ear to hear” is a troublesome…

Season of Peace (Video)

Season of Peace Video by Pastor Austin Hamrick for Cornerstone Chapel The CDC put out a report in late August saying that nearly half of American adults reported struggling with mental health or substance abuse due to the pandemic. Having peace is something that alludes many people today. However, the word “peace” is mentioned 420 times in the Bible, and it also appears at all three significant stages of Jesus’ life: His birth, death, and resurrection. Why is peace so greatly emphasized at all three stages of His life? And…
