All heathen, philosophic, Muslim, and Mormon religions are false because according to all of them, man must do this or that in order to earn salvation. Only the Christian religion says the contrary, stands in opposition to all other religions in the world, and has human nature as its enemy. This nature is blind in its understanding, an enemy of God in its will, and a rebel against God in its desires. People listen approvingly when they are told the following: By nature you are good, your inner being is good. Follow the basic principles of good conduct, love and help your neighbor, in order to become acceptable before God. We Christians do not believe that. Only hypocrites believe, for example, that they attend church in order to be pious. We attend church not really to serve God, but rather that He may serve us there; not to create righteousness but to receive it from God.

"He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said. Friday’s performance was part of a larger shift. For the week, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2%, 2.9%, and 3.5%, respectively. "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides.
