Was suicide really seen as noble during the French Revolution? Was there any recorded tension regarding this cultural shift with more religious or less revolutionary people/groups? Thanks!
In the book La liberté ou la mort: mourir en député 1792-1795 (2015) can be found a list of all the deputies of the National Convention that died unnatural deaths between 1792 and 1799. Of the 96 names included on it, 16 were those of suicide victims, and to these must also me added a number of botched suicide attempts as well.
Only a single one of these suicides appears to have been driven by something outside of politics, that of the deputy Charlier, who shot himself in his apartment on February 23 1797, two years after the closing of the Convention. The rest of the suicides are all very clearly politically motivated, more specifically, deputies killing themselves just as the machinery of revolutionary justice was about to catch up to them. There’s those who killed themselves while on the run and unsheltered from the hostile authorities — the girondin Rebecqui who on May 1 1794 drowned himself in Old Port of Marseille, Pétion and Buzot who on June 24 1794 shot themselves after getting forced to leave the garret where they for the last few months had been hiding out, Maure who shot himself while in hiding on 3 June 1795 after having been implicated in the revolt of 1 Prairial, Brunel, who on May 27 shot himself after failing to quell a riot in Toulon, and Tellier, who similarily shot himself on September 17 1795 due to a revolt directed against him in the commune of Chartres. Barbaroux too attempted to shoot himself on June 18 1794 but only managed to blow his jaw off. He was instead captured and guillotined. There’s those that put an end to their days once cornered by said authorities — Lidon, who on November 2 1793 shot himself after having been discovered at his hiding place by two gendarmes (he did however first fire three shots at said gendarmes, one of whom got hit in the cheek) and Le Bas who shot himself in the night between July 27 and 28 1794 as National guardsmen stormed the Hôtel de Ville where he and his allies were hiding out (according to his wife’s memoirs, already a few days before this he had told her that he would kill them both right then and there wasn’t it for the fact they had an infant son). In an interrogation held two o’clock in the morning on July 28 1794, Augustin Robespierre too revealed that the reason he a few hours earlier had thrown himself off the cordon of the Hôtel de Ville was ”to escape from the hands of the conspirators, because, having been put under a decree of accusation, he believed his death inevitable,” and there’s of course an eternal debate on whether or not his older brother too had attemped to commit suicide at Hôtel de Ville that night or if he was shot by a guard (to a lesser extent, this debate also exists regarding Couthon). There’s those who committed suicide in prison to avoid an unfriendly tribunal — Baille who hanged himself while held captive in the hostile Toulon on September 2 1793, Condorcet who took poison and was found dead in his cell in Bourg-la-Reine on 29 March 1794 (though here there exists some debate on whether it really was suicide or if he ”just” died from exhaustion) and Rühl, who stabbed himself while in house arrest on May 29 1795. On March 17 1794, Chabot tried to take his life in his cell in the Luxembourg prison by overdosing on medicine (he reported that he shouted ”vive la république” after drinking the liquor) but survived and got guillotined. Finally, there’s those who held themselves alive for the whole trial but killed themselves as soon as they heard the pronounciation of the death sentence — the girondin Valazé who stabbed himself to death on October 30 1793 and the so called ”martyrs of prairial” Duquesnoy, Romme, Goujon, Bourbotte (in a declaration written shortly before his death he wrote: ”Virtuous Cato, no longer will it be your example alone that teaches free men how to escape the scaffold of tyranny”), Duroy and Soubrany who did the same thing on June 17 1795 (only the first three did however succeed with their suicide, the rest were executed the very same day).
To these 24 men must also be added other revolutionaries that weren’t Convention deputies, such as Jacques Roux who on February 10 1794 stabbed himself in prison, former girondin ministers Étienne Clavière who did the same thing on December 8 1793 (learning of his death, his wife killed herself as well) and Jean Marie Roland who on November 10 1793 ran a sword through his heart while in hiding, after having been informed of his wife’s execution, Gracchus Babeuf and Augustin Darthé who attempted to stab themselves on May 27 1797 after having been condemned in the so called ”conspiracy of equals,” but survived and were executed the next day, as well as two jacobins from Lyon — Hidins who killed himself in prison before the city got ”liberated,” and Gaillard who did the same thing shortly after the liberation, after having spent several weeks in jail.
With all that said, I think you could say taking your life was considered ”noble” in a way, if it allowed you to die with greater dignity than letting the imposition of revolutionary judgement take it instead did. It was at least certainly a step up compared to before 1789, when suicide (through the Criminal Ordinance of 1670) was considered a crime which could lead to confiscation of property, opprobium cast on the victim’s family and even subjection of the courpse to various outrages, like dragging it through the street. To nuance this a bit, it is however worth recalling that this was only in theory, and that in practise, most of these penalties had ceased to be carried out already in the decades before the revolution, a period during which suicide, in the Enlightenent’s spirit of questioning everything, had also started getting discussed more and more. The word ”suicide” itself entered the French dictionary in 1734. Most of the enlightenment philosophes reflected on suicide and the ethics behind it. There’s also the widely spread The Sorrows of Young Werther that was first released in 1774. Furthermore, most revolutionaries were also steeped in the culture of Antiquity, where suicide was seen as an admirable response to political defeat, perhaps most notably those of Brutus and Cato the younger, big heroes of the revolutionaries. Over the course of the revolution, we find several patriotic artists depicting famous suicides of Antiquity — such as Socrates (whose death is considered by some to have been a sort of suicide) (1791) by David, The Death of Cato of Utica (1795) by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière, and The death of Caius Gracchus (1798) by François Topino-Lebrun. According to historian Dominique Godineau, the 18th century saw ”the inscription [of suicide] in the social landscape, at least in large cities: it has become “public,” people talk about it, it is less hidden than at the beginning of the century,” and she therefore argues that the decision to decriminalize it in the reformed penal code (it didn’t state outright that suicide was now OK, but it no longer listed it as a crime) of 1791 wasn’t particulary controversial.
Furthermore, that committing suicide was more noble than facing execution was still far from an obvious, universal truth during the revolution. In his memoirs, Brissot does for example recall that, right after the insurrection of August 10, when he and other ”girondins” discussed what to do was an act of accusation to be issued against them, Buzot argued that ”the death on the scaffold was more courageous, more worthy for a patriot, and especially more useful for the cause of liberty” than committing suicide to avoid it. The feared news of their act of accusation did however arrive before the girondins had reached a definitive conclusion on what to do, leading to some fleeing (among them Buzot, who of course ironically ended up being one of the revolutionaries that ultimately chose suicide over the scaffold) and some calmly awaiting their fate. In her memoirs, Madame Roland did her too consider going to the scaffold with her head held high to be an act of virtue — ”Should I wait for when it pleases my executioners to choose the moment of my death and to augment their triumph by the insolent clamours of the mob to which I would be exposed? Certainly!” In his very last speech to the Convention, convinced that his enemies were rounding up on him, Robespierre exclaimed he would ”drink the hemlock,” a reference to the execution of Socrates. The girondin Vergniaud is also said to have carried poison on him but chosen to have go out with his friends on the scaffold, although I’ve not yet discovered what the source for this is. It can also be noted that the number of Convention deputies who let revolutionary justice have its course with them was still considerably higher than those who attempted to put an end to their days before the sentence could be carried out.
According to Patterns and prosecution of suicide in eighteenth-century Paris (1989) by Jeffrey Merrick, there was indeed tension regarding the rising amount of suicides in the decades leading up to the revolution. Merrick cites first and foremost the printer and bookseller Siméon Prosper Hardy, who in his journal Mes loisirs ou journal des evenements tels qu'ils parviennent a ma connaissance (1764-1789), documented a total of 259 cases of Parisian suicides. Hardy saw these deaths as an unwelcome import from the English, who for their part were led to kill themselves due to ”the dismal climate, unwholesome diet, and excessive liberty.” He also blamed the suicides on "the decline of religion and morals," caused by the philosophes, who in their ”bad books” popularized English ways of thinking and undermined traditional values. He was not alone in drawing a connection between the suicides and the new ideas. According to Merrick, the clergy in general ”denounced the philosophes for legitimizing this unforgiveable crime against God and society, which they now associated with systematic unbelief more than the traditional diabolical temptation.” In practice, many parish priests did however still quietly bury the bodies of persons who killed themselves. The future revolutionary Louis Sébastien Mercier did on the other hand blame the government and its penchant for inflated prices and burdensome taxes for the alleged epidemic of suicides in his Tableau de Paris (1782-1783).
In La liberté ou la mort: mourir en député, 1792-1795 it is also established that there weren’t that many participants of the king that killed themselves once the wind started blowing in the wrong direction, but that is not to say they didn’t exist. As example is cited the case of a man who in April 1793 shot himself on the Place de la Révolution, before having written ”I die for you and your family” on a gravure representimg the head of Louis XVI. There’s also the case of Michel Peletier’s murderer Philippe Nicolas Marie de Pâris, royalist and former king’s guard, who, similar to Lidon, blew his brains out when the authorities had him cornered a week after the murder.

ville de l'amour. a trent alexander-arnold blurb
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
pairing: trent alexander-arnold x gn!reader
requested: yes
request: hii can i request reader and trent maybe in paris and he proposes under the eiffel tower in the dark?
warnings: teeth-rotting fluff, obnoxious lovey-dovey couple activities
notes: no proposal under the eiffel tower, simply because i personally think it's overrated, instead check out the luxembourg gardens and you'll see why i picked it as inspiration for this! tysm for requesting and all the love on my fics! ����🤍 (not proofread as per usual lmao)
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
you had no idea, what your boyfriend had planned for your holiday in paris, but his requests and suggestions had made you beyond suspicious of his plans.
why did he have the sudden urge to go to paris, despite having never shown interest in it? why had he suddenly asked you to dress up? why was he looking so formal when all you were doing was taking a little walk?
not that you were complaining. paris was beautiful and the man strolling through the gardens with you was a god. you could swear he was a divine being walking this earth. from the bottom to the top, he looked gorgeous, especially in this sunlight. what had you done to deserve this? to deserve him?
you never realized you were staring until his words brought you out of your trance. "you never realized you were staring until his words brought you out of your trance. "my love?" he spoke, his thumb gently stroking the back of your hand as he kept it in his own. "huh?" was all you could reply, having been torn away from your thoughts.
"what were you staring at?" he questioned with a wide grin on his lips and from that smile alone, you knew you'll never be hearing the end of it. he could read you like a book so you knew that he was probably aware of what you were thinking. "come on, tell me, babe. promise i won't tease you about it" he smirked and you both knew he was lying.
"it's so pretty here, trent" you said as you took the sight in, moving closer to him as you held onto his arm to avoid bumping into the large groups around you. the gardens were beautiful, truly. but there were a lot of people and this put both of you slightly on edge. your relationship had always been private, you rarely posted one another and you rarely appeared in public cozied up.
"only the prettiest place for someone as pretty as you," he replied with a gentle hum and the two of you attempted to remain serious but quickly failed when glancing at each other, bursting out into laughter. "that was so bad!" you exclaimed and he only nodded as he continued laughing. "i give you a compliment and you react like that?!" he argued back.
"that was the cheesiest thing i've ever heard, trent. we both know it was awful, don't try that one ever again." you told him and leaned against him as he guided you through the gardens, now having reached a more quiet, private area. "you love it deep down, i know you do." he hummed and smirked to which you couldn't help but roll your eyes.
"i love you but sometimes i can't believe how i fell for you" you pointed out and chuckled at the offended expression on his face. he let out a joking huff and stopped walking in front of the medici fountain. "i was planning to propose to you just now, but you've just broken my heart. can't believe you." he mused but his tone was a clear indication he was only joking.
when you heard the word 'propose,' your eyes widened as you stood in front of him. "what?" you laughed and shook your head, throwing it back in disbelief as you glanced at the sky and took a deep breath. "what? i'm not kidding, my love." he chuckled and pressed a kiss to the back of your hand.
while you had been convinced he was joking, his words threw you into a frenzy, your eyebrows furrowing together in confusion. he had to be joking, right? there was no way he was being serious. you shook your head and looked him straight in the eye, however the playful expression remained on your face "stop playing. there's no way you were going to propose."
at this, he beamed up once again and within a single second, the man was on one knee in front of you. you felt like you had been hit in the face and you were sure your jaw was hanging open. "what are you doing, trent? get up!" there was no way this was real.
the look on his face could only be described as pure love and adoration as he took your hands in his and flashed that gorgeous smile you loved so much. "i'm not joking, love. with or without a ring, i want to be yours forever but i want to celebrate our love. i want you to be my partner in everything, whether it's a game or whether it's in life. i don't think i've ever felt more loved and i certinly have never loved anyone as much as i love you. everything about you is...pure perfection, really. i want to love you at your best, your worst and your everything in between. it sounds awfully cheesy, i know it does but i can't word it any differently because this is how i feel." he told you and kissed the back of your hand as he was holding it.
"you've shown me what love is supposed to look and feel like and i'd be a fool to not ask you to marry me. so, would you make me the happiest person in this entire world and marry me, love?" he asked as he pulled out a tiny emerald green box and opened it, revealing what must've been the most beautiful ring you've ever seen. it wasn't huge or flashy with a massive diamond but it was perfect, beautiful. you were in complete disbelief but quickly, you dropped down to your knees and smiled at him as you nodded almost frantically.
his smile only grew as his arm wrapped around your waist and he pulled you in, burying his nose deep into the crook of your neck "i love you so much" he whispered as he held you close and you could swear you felt tears against your skin. but you weren't any better as you were in tears the moment he said he wanted to love you through every moment of your life. the two of you were never serious with one another but the look in his eyes alone told you that he wasn't kidding. you held each other's gaze for a few more seconds until trent cracked and pressed a kiss to your cheek.
"we should probably get up, we're kneelin' in the middle of a park and i think people are staring." he pointed out with a chuckle. as he helped you up, he pulled you flush against himself, the muscular pair of arms tight around your midriff. he nuzzled against your temple and pressed the gentlest kiss against your skin. you observed the ring with a small smile on your lips as he led you out of the park and in your gut, you had a feeling there was more planned.

Do you know 'The City of Light' refers to which location?
We are talking about the capital Paris of France.
Paris, the capital city of France, is renowned worldwide for its rich history, iconic landmarks, and vibrant cultural scene. Situated along the banks of the Seine River in northern France, Paris is often referred to as the "City of Light" (La Ville Lumière) due to its historical role as a center of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment.
Paris is celebrated for its stunning architecture, exemplified by landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral (though partially damaged by fire in 2019), and the Louvre Museum, home to world-famous artworks including the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. The cityscape is characterized by wide boulevards, charming cafes, and beautiful parks like the Tuileries Garden and Luxembourg Gardens.
Culturally, Paris is a hub for fashion, art, cuisine, and literature. It boasts numerous theaters, art galleries, and fashion boutiques, while its culinary scene ranges from cozy bistros serving traditional French dishes to Michelin-starred restaurants offering innovative cuisine. The city also hosts prestigious events such as Paris Fashion Week and the French Open tennis tournament.
Beyond its cultural and historical significance, Paris is a global center for diplomacy, education, and commerce. It is home to numerous universities, international organizations like UNESCO, and serves as a key financial hub in Europe.
In summary, Paris captivates visitors with its timeless beauty, cultural richness, and artistic allure, making it a destination that continues to inspire and enchant people from around the world.
Although Paris is widely admired for its beauty and cultural richness, like any major city, it also faces challenges and drawbacks:
Traffic and Pollution: Paris suffers from traffic congestion and air pollution, particularly during rush hours. The high number of vehicles in the city contributes to environmental concerns and impacts on air quality.
Homelessness: Like many large cities, Paris grapples with homelessness. There are visible numbers of people living on the streets, which is a persistent social issue despite government efforts to address it.
Pickpocketing and Petty Crimes: Certain areas of Paris, especially tourist-heavy areas, are known for pickpocketing and petty crimes. Visitors are often advised to be vigilant with their belongings and avoid isolated areas at night.
Cost of Living: Paris is one of the most expensive cities to live in globally. Housing costs, in particular, are high, making it challenging for residents, especially lower-income individuals, to afford suitable housing within the city center.
Protests and Civil Unrest: Paris has seen periodic protests and civil unrest, often related to political or social issues. While protests are generally peaceful, they can occasionally lead to disruptions and tensions in the city.
Social Inequality: There is a noticeable wealth gap in Paris, with disparities in income and living standards between different neighborhoods and social groups. This inequality poses challenges for social cohesion and integration.
Despite these challenges, Paris remains a captivating and culturally rich city that continues to attract millions of visitors each year with its history, art, and vibrant lifestyle.
As a tourist, I think you should visit Paris at least once Thanks for reading <3

Avignon - Corps-Saints (Place des Corps-Saints)
Cette place avait été d’abord simplement nommée Place du Corps-Saint parce que les restes de Saint-Pierre de Luxembourg, cardinal, mort le 2 juillet 1387, avaient été inhumés dans le cimetière public de Saint-Michel, sur l’emplacement duquel s’éleva bientôt le somptueux monastère des Célestins.
En 1843 on remarqua que les restes de Saint-Bénézet ayant été transportés et inhumés dans le même monastère le 26 mars 1674, c’eût été Place des Corps-Saints qu’il eût fallu dire, et l’on s’empressa de rectifier ce nom, lorsque depuis trop longtemps le vent des révolutions avait également dispersé les reliques de Saint-Pierre de Luxembourg et celle de Saint-Bénézet.
À l’entrée de la place des Corps-Saints était la porte de l’ancienne enceinte de 1226, dite du Pont-rompu (Pontis fracti), et quelquefois de Rome. Tout près de là existait avant 1210 un hôpital qui tenait de ce voisinage le nom d’Hôpital de la Bienheureuse Marie du Pont-Rompu
Le pont qui faisait communiquer la rue des Trois-Faucons avec la place des Corps-Saints était très étroit, la ville le fit élargir en 1738 en y ajoutant tout l’espace qu’occupait sur la Sorgue la maison d’un nommé Blanc, qu’elle avait acquise à cet effet.
Le parc des Célestins était séparé des bâtiments de leur monastère par une rue qui, de la place des Corps-Saints, allait boutir en face de la tour des Arbalétriers.
Les moines, qui ne pouvaient aller s’y promener qu’en passant par un arceau, tentèrent souvent d’usurper cette partie de la voie publique. Ils crurent y avoir réussi en 1689 lorsque, profitant des premiers moments de la prise de possession d’Avignon par le roi de France, ils surprirent au premier président du Parlement de Provence une ordonnance qui les autorisaient à la fermer. Mais, sur les réclamations qui furent faites, ils durent la rouvrir le 12 mars 1699 et de cet incident cette voie publique conserva le nom de rue Courte-Joie.
La rue Courte-Joie disparut définitivement lorsque les nécessités de la guerre mirent l’administration centrale du Département dans l’obligation de réunir, par son arrêté du 5 Thermidor an II, le couvent des Célestins à l’hôpital militaire, auquel étaient déjà affectés les bâtiments de l’ancien monastère des Dames de Saint-Louis.

Située à un peu plus d'une de train de paris, et une heure de Luxembourg-ville, voici Metz !
Dans mon cas, il s'agit de ma dernière étape de voyage après Luxembourg-Ville et Trèves avant de rentrer à Lyon. L'occasion de découvrir cette ville de Moselle proche de la frontière.
La gare en elle-même est tout à fait remarquable de part son architecture néo-roman rhénan.
Amateurs de marchés de Noël, vous serez servi ! Car il y a en effet plusieurs marchés dispersés dans toute la ville. Vous en trouverez un sur l'incontournable place Saint-Louis, à l'architecture médiévale et ses galeries couvertes d'une soixantaine d'arcades. Un autre Place Saint-Jacques, et un autre sur la place d'Armes, entre la Cathédrale Saint- Etienne et l'hôtel de ville.
Juste à côté, prenez le temps de visiter les halles couvertes, avant de vous perdre dans les ruelles qui bordent la cathédrale.
Vous arriverez peut-être Place Jeanne d'Arc devant l'église Sainte-Ségolène de style gothique.
Allez faire un tour sur l'île du Petit Saulcy et perdez-vous dans ses petites rues. Tout au sud de l'île, vous trouverez l'opéra et le Temple Neuf, temple protestant dans un style néo-roman.
De l'autre côté de la rive, vous trouverez aussi la Basilique Saint-Vincent et sa façade classique.
Enfin, direction la porte des allemands. Construite au XIIIe siècle, la porte des Allemands est un symbole du passé médiéval de Metz.
Amateurs d'art, il faut passer par l'incontournable Centre Pompidou-Metz, designé par l'architecte Shigeru Ban. Sa charpente en forme de chapeau chinois saura vous séduire (si la programmation du musée de le fait pas). À ne pas manquer également: le Fond Régional d'Art Contemporain de Lorraine et le musée de la cour d'Or.
Mon avis
N'y allez pas un jour de pluie. Les pierres jaunes, typiques de la région, affadissent la ville. Je n'y ai pas trouvé beaucoup d'attrait ... En revanche, en terme d'art contemporain, on est servis.

3 novembre : la Saint-Hubert, rendez-vous des chasseurs et sonneurs
Le 3 novembre, jour de la Saint-Hubert, rendez-vous dans la basilique Saint-Hubert, à Saint-Hubert, ville de Belgique située au cœur du massif des Ardennes, une ville qui porte, depuis 1991, le titre de « Capitale européenne de la chasse et de la nature ». À 11h, c’est la grand-messe sonnée par la formation musicale Royal Forêt Saint-Hubert et les trompes de chasses internationales venues de toute l'Europe. L'art musical des sonneurs de trompe a été reconnu en 2020 comme patrimoine culturel immatériel par l’Unesco.
À l’issue de la messe, vers 12h15, on procède à la bénédiction des animaux, en particulier des chiens de chasse de la race Saint-Hubert. C’est ici, bien sûr, qu’est née cette race que certains font remonter à l’époque d’Hubert, le saint patron des chasseurs. Une autre bénédiction de chiens a également lieu le même jour à Tervuren, une ville de Flandre, proche de Bruxelles où est mort Hubert en l’an 727. Ce jeune aristocrate, chasseur impénitent aurait vu apparaître une croix entre les bois d’un cerf qu’il poursuivait jusqu’à l’épuisement. Selon la légende, le cerf en se retournant, l’aurait interpellé et sermonné. Hubert aurait alors tout abandonné pour se consacrer à la religion. Il fera carrière et sera nommé évêque de Maastricht dont, il est le saint patron, ainsi que celui de la ville de Liège, avec saint Lambert.
Saint Hubert est particulièrement populaire en Belgique, au Luxembourg, en Moselle, en Rhénanie… où il est considéré comme le patron des forestiers, des bûcherons et de tous ceux qui, modestement, vivent de la nature. La ville de Saint-Hubert est aussi l’aboutissement de pèlerinage en provenance de plusieurs localités de la région. C’était, disait-on, un moyen de se prémunir de la rage et, en cas d’infection, d’en guérir. Le pèlerinage de Lendersdorf (en Allemagne) ou le « grand pèlerinage des Allemands » se déroule chaque année depuis 1720, suite à un vœu formulé afin d’obtenir la cessation d’une épidémie de rage. Les pèlerins parcourent ainsi 320 kilomètres en huit jours.
France, dans les milieux traditionalistes, notamment ceux cultivent la chasse à courre, la messe de saint Hubert est une tradition chaque automne mais elle peut avoir lieu à des dates variables. À Chartres, cette année, elle a été dite dans le 26 octobre, dans la cathédrale, animé par le Rallye Saint Hubert de Chartres. La cathédrale Notre-Dame a Paris en organisait également une chaque année. Déplacée depuis trois ans en l’église Saint-Roch où la prochaine est programmée le 18 novembre 2024 à l’invitation des jeunes pros et étudiants chasseurs, les jeunes sonneurs et veneurs d’Ile-de-France. Les fanfares de cette traditionnelle messe de la Saint Hubert seront interprétées par les jeunes sonneurs de Paris.

🟥 AVIS AUX CHRÉTIENS DU MONDE ENTIER !*
"Que vous le vouliez ou non, vous êtes concernés !"
Voici les résultats de l'évolution du Nouvel Ordre Mondial Satanique.
A lire absolument !"
1-Les États-Unis ont confirmé que tous les pays du monde, afin d'établir de bonnes relations avec les grandes puissances, doivent accepter le mariage homosexuel (femme/femme ou homme/homme). Il existe actuellement 34 pays où le mariage homosexuel est légal : Andorre, Argentine, Australie, Autriche, Belgique, Brésil, Canada, Chili, Colombie, Costa Rica, Cuba, Danemark, Équateur, Finlande, France, Allemagne, Islande, Irlande, Luxembourg, Malte, Mexique, Pays-Bas, Nouvelle-Zélande, Norvège, Portugal, Slovénie, Afrique du Sud, Espagne, Suède, Suisse, Taïwan, Royaume-Uni, États-Unis d'Amérique et Uruguay. 😭
2- L'Allemagne vient de signer la loi qui déclare qu'il n'y a plus d'inceste, c'est-à-dire : frère et sœur peuvent se marier, maman et fils, papa et fille, etc. 😭
3-La ville de Miami est désormais proclamée ville d'achat de sexe en public. Cela signifie : sur le chemin, à l'église, à la mosquée, au marché, au terrain de football, si vous avez besoin de sexe, vous pouvez en profiter à tout moment sans aucun problème.
4- Le Canada a autorisé la bestialité (sexe avec des animaux) 😭
5- En Espagne : les films pornographiques sont autorisés dans les lycées et les universités.
6- L'autorisation de la prostitution de mineurs est donnée. Marg Luker affirme que toute jeune fille de 10 ans qui ressent du plaisir sexuel, personne ne devrait la défendre de découvrir comment fonctionne son corps.
7- Enfin les USA ont permis l'ouverture publique des églises sataniques.
Chers Frères et Sœurs, la fin est proche, le départ en Gloire approche.
Les gens sont distraits et le diable veut entraîner avec lui le maximum d'âmes afin de les soustraire à la MISÉRICORDE DIVINE. Soyons prudents. 😭
Si vous avez une minute... partagez ce message.
Pourquoi dormons-nous dans les églises et veillons-nous dans les bars ?
Pourquoi est-il si difficile de parler de JÉSUS mais si facile de bavarder ?
Pourquoi est-il si facile d'ignorer les messages de DIEU et de renvoyer des messages sales ?
Allez-vous envoyer ce message à vos amis ou allez-vous l'ignorer ?
Si vous aimez DIEU, envoyez ce message à vos vrais ami le plus tôt possible 🙏🏾.
Que DIEU vous bénisse. Amen !!!
*L'IMMORALITÉ SEXUELLE RAVAGE LE MONDE ACTUELLEMENT.*
*DIEU a dit : Il viendra un temps où l'Humanité aimera cinq choses et en oubliera cinq.*
1. Ils aimeront la jouissance de ce monde et oublieront le jour du Jugement.
2. Ils aimeront l'argent et oublieront le jour de la responsabilité de la façon dont ils ont acquis et dépensé l'argent.
3. Ils auront peur des choses créées et oublieront le CRÉATEUR.
4. Ils aimeront les belles demeures et oublieront leurs tombes.
5. Ils aimeront les péchés et oublieront de chercher le Pardon de DIEU.
"Pensez-y !......"
1. Vie éternelle = gratuite
2. Entrée de l'église = gratuite
3. Le salut du Christ = gratuit
4. L'amour de Dieu = gratuit
5. Souffle de vie = gratuit
A. Cigarette = payante
B. Prostitution = payante
C. Alcool = payant
D. Droit d'entrée à la discothèque = payant
E. Pouvoir gouverner le monde = payant
Alors pourquoi les gens paient-ils pour l'enfer alors que PARADIS est gratuit ?
"Réfléchissez à deux fois !"
Croyez en Christ et vous serez sauvé..
On pense toujours à la Saint Valentin
Anniversaire
Fête des pères
Fête des mères
La journée des enfants
La journée des fermiers
Le jour du professeur
Le jour de Noël
Jour de l'indépendance
Le lendemain de Noël,
Ce jour,
Ce jour là,
Jour après jour.
Avez-vous déjà pensé au JOUR DE LA MORT et au JOUR DU JUGEMENT ?
Est-ce que ça va être un jour de fête ou de condamnation pour vous ?
Si vous êtes en sécurité, qu'en est-il de vos amis et de vos proches. Montrez-leur votre amour en leur parlant du "JOUR DE LA MORT et du JOUR DU Jugement".
