Billy Graham's Daughter: We Deserve To Be Hit With A Nuclear Strike

Evangelist Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, said God will punish America's immorality with a nuclear strike.

In keeping with her brother's theme that the United States has a 'sin problem', Rev. Franklin Graham's sister, Anne Graham Lotz, told Decision Magazine that God will send a nuclear strike to punish the country's immorality

Lotz says she believes severe judgment is coming and has partly begun. “And I’m talking about something like a nuclear strike, an earthquake that splits us in two, an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack that devastates our electrical grid. Something major that would be a game-changer for America, because we are so defiant and rebellious and idolatrous and immoral, and we know better.”

Lotz says that Americans deserved to be zapped to death because of their immortality.

Lotz is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump.

Catholic Church in turmoil as Pope ‘admits HELL DOES NOT EXIST’

MILLIONS of Christians across the world had their faith shaken to its foundations after reports the Pope admitted HELL DOES NOT EXIST and that bad people simply cease to be.

In a jaw-dropping Good Friday ‘revelation’ Pope Francis reportedly told an Italian journalist that at the moment of death the souls of “sinners” would “disappear”.

Furious Catholics have suggested the claim sounds more akin to atheism than Christianity.

Eugenio Scalfari, 93, said Pope Francis told him: “Hell doesn’t exist, the disappearance of the souls of sinners exists.”

The quotes appeared in Italian newspaper La Republica, a newspaper co-founded by Mr Scalfari.

The Vatican suggested the quotes in the report were questionable – but seem to have stopped short of an outright dismissal.

The shock revelation from the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic faith overturns more than 2,000 years of orthodoxy.

Conservative Roman Catholics have raged at the Pope for changing fundamental aspects of the faith set out in the Bible. 

Antonio Socci, a Catholic author, accused the Pope of heresy and called for his abdication.

Another Vatican spoke on the condition of anonymity: “He’s a very strange theologian, assuming Scalfari properly understood what he was saying.

“He increases confusion among ordinary Catholics, who no longer know what to believe.”

The expert believes Mr Scalfari over the Vatican because “if someone traduces your thoughts, you don’t keep inviting him back.

Mr Scalfari said that the Pope made the explosive remarks in response to a question asking what happened to wicked souls after death.

The Pope claimed that unrepentant sinners are not punished after death - instead, they just disappear.

Francis and Mr Scalfari, an atheist philosopher, have met four times before.

On other occasions too, the Vatican has had to issue clarifications after meetings with Mr Scalfari - who reportedly reconstructs dialogue from memory without taking notes or using a recorder.

The Vatican has confirmed that the meeting took place this time, but insisted it was not an interview.

It said: “No words in quotation marks should be considered as a faithful transcription of the Holy Father’s words.”

The Times welcomed the Pope’s alleged comments, however: “The Pope’s clarification that there is no such thing as eternal fire and brimstone even for those who eschew faith should be a reassurance to everyone.”

Pope Francis has previously been criticised for replying, “Who am I to judge?” - when asked what he thought of homosexual Christians. 

37 dead, dozens of children missing after tragic mall blaze in Russia’s Kemerovo

As rescuers continue to search the burned-out shopping mall in the city of Kemerovo, many have been frantically trying to reach their relatives, including children who were in the mall’s cinema or play area when the fire started.

Some 37 people were killed in the blaze, the Russian Investigative Committee has confirmed. At least 11 children were among the victims.

Amid conflicting reports, some have described the source of the fire as the children’s playground, suggesting that the trampoline there caught fire after a child allegedly misused a lighter. Another version suggests that electrical wiring at the playground had short-circuited.

Reports from witnesses have described panic as people realized there was a fire spreading, with many saying on social media that there were no fire alarms or loudspeaker warnings, and that people had to find their own way through the top floor of the mall, which was already filled with smoke. Several hundred people, including many children, were in the mall at the time.

Tragically, some reportedly had left their children unattended in one of the mall's cinema halls or at the playground.

The fire, which broke out on Sunday afternoon, was finally contained some 12 hours later, after engulfing some 1,600 square meters. The building sustained severe damage, its roof and floors partially collapsing.

Some 43 people were injured in the blaze, according to the emergency services, and 37 remain hospitalized. Some 69 people, including 40 children, were said to be missing after the fire.

Fears are growing that almost an entire class of primary school children may have perished in the blaze. Eight kids from a school outside Kemerovo were visiting the city on an excursion with a teacher, who led them to watch a cartoon show at the shopping mall. Russian media reports suggest that she chose to have a stroll through the mall and left the children at the cinema, from which they apparently couldn’t find their way out.

Some of the children trapped in the mall reportedly phoned their parents or contacted their friends on social media. A particularly chilling message circulating online was allegedly left by a 13-year-old girl who wrote “We are on fire. Possibly, farewell,” in a screenshot posted on Russian social media network VKontakte. The teen was listed as missing in unofficial lists posted online.

‘No fire alarms, no warning’

When the blaze erupted, witness Anna Zarechneva was at the mall with her husband and little son. Describing their ordeal in an Instagram post, she said there was no fire alarm, that lights were not switched back on in the cinema and that the movie even kept playing. The family was lucky to escape as other mall-goers notified them of the fire.

“We went to the mall, but it did not go well. We were forced to leave because of the fire. The third floor, where the cinema is, is completely dark, full of smoke, people are panicking, children are crying,” Anna can be heard saying, in the video she filmed when exiting the mall. As she walks out of the building, the ground floor can be seen filling up with smoke.

When Anna and her son were safe outside of the mall, her husband tried to get back in to retrieve the clothes they left behind. The man witnessed chaotic scenes on the third floor, with children still trapped in the cinema and their parents unable to reach them through thick, toxic smoke.

Other eyewitnesses have also reported that the fire alarm at the mall did not work. When the fire broke out, people panicked and ran towards the exits in a reportedly disorderly rush.

“We’ve decided to go and watch a cartoon in this mall for the first time. God ... Thank you for saving us,” a woman, identified only as Alexandra, says in the caption to the video. “I saw a woman running and screaming about the fire ... panic erupted, we were almost knocked down ... No there were no alarms!”
