Scientists have recorded more than 250 confirmed or suspected monkeypox cases, mainly in Europe, and are trying to determine if and how the cases might be connected.

For decades, monkeypox has been seen in parts of Central and West Africa, believed to jump occasionally from animals, probably rodents, into people. Typically, several travelers a year arrive in the U.S. and Europe infected with the virus, but such a large chain of person-to-person transmission has never been seen before.

  2. The God of the Bible is the One True Living God. Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved from our sins and reconciled with our holy Creator God.

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

    For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    (John 3:16‭-‬21)
