  1. Do you know anything at all about the Bible? Appears you don't. The ten commandments are part of the Old Testament. Do you think most of the ten commandments still apply today? What reason do you give to say God's statement ordaining capital punishment in Genesis 9:6 would not apply today? Can you give a clear explanation?
  2. Not claiming to "speak for God". The Bible is God's inspired word or revelation from God. Do you believe that? If you don't believe the Bible is God's written revelation, why are you even mentioning God? What God are you talking about or what God do you believe in? Obviously you don't appear to believe in the God of the Bible. If God communicated to mankind with the Bible, why would he not expect man to quote what he said?
  3. Again this subject has nothing much to do with Trudeau and the Liberals. We all know Trudeau and the Liberals will be out of government within the next 12 months. The subject is just a general subject about using MAID for capital punishment for murderers. Nothing to do with the existing Liberal government which opposes any capital punishment and does not support law and order.
  4. Nonsensical comment. Nobody is talking about Trudeau. Capital punishment would have to be based in the law and the law is implemented by the justice system and courts. Of course this is not likely to happen under the Liberals.
  5. Do you think the police have the right to shoot someone in self defence or to defend the other citizens? Do soldiers have a right to shoot the enemy in battle in defence of their country? Does this prove there are exceptions to the command thou shalt not kill? Do you support women choosing to have abortions (freedom of choice)?
  6. Very childish. Read the Bible. There is far more in the Bible than one word or one sentence. I just quoted Genesis 9:6 and you totally ignored it. Do you think God inspired men to write Gen. 9:6? Why did God ordain capital punishment there?
  7. No. Never said anything about giving power to Trudeau. His time as PM is limited and hopefully he will out soon. Who gets capital punishment is decided by the courts and laws that govern them anyway. Nonsense. Who else is responsible for law and order? We just need a government that puts law and order at the top of the agenda and understands their job is to protect the public.
  8. The New Testament says something similar in Romans ch13, which I quoted above. Where does it say anywhere that capital punishment for murder is no longer justified or valid? The Old Testament statement on capital punishment has no time limit. The reason it gives is eternal. That reason still stands. God said man was made in the image of God and nobody has the right to kill humans except for certain cases as described in the Bible. Authorities have the right in the enforcement of the law (Romans ch.13). Self defence is another exception.
  9. The answer is simple to that. Pass laws that say exactly how it will work along with time limits. Do not allow phony appeals. Only allow appeals that can be justified . I once wrote to the Minister of Justice about a case involving a man who was wanted for extradition to California for murder and he was delaying it with appeals for five years. The answer to me is everyone is entitled to appeal. That is a very weak answer. An appeal has to be legitimate, not an invented excuse. It all depends on how the law is written. If you want to have all kinds of loopholes, that can happen. It must be written in a way to make it bullet proof. And if the legal process is done expeditiously, it should limit the amount of money involved. It would be far less expensive than keeping people in prison for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
  10. That is not a rational claim. Nobody believes that. How much would it cost to bring in a medical professional to give the injections needed for medical assistance in dying? Maybe a few hundred dollars. Versus how much a year does it cost to keep a prisoner in prison? Hundreds of thousands. Obviously absurd to say it is more expensive to give MAID. Whether it is a deterrent or not, it brings justice. There is no justice to the families of victims when a murderer is sentence to life but then, after 20 years, is given parole board hearings every few years forcing the victim's families to have to attend and fight against the criminal's release. That is not justice. It is time the justice system started thinking about the victim's families. It could be a deterrent in some potential murderer's mind. But it needs to be done simply because it is the right thing to do and is ordained in Genesis 9:6.
  11. Where did I post that? You are inventing things now. Also changing the subject. You are one very confused individual. You don't understand the difference between killing a person with assisted suicide and capital punishment for murder. The Bible (God's word) forbids killing people. But the Bible allows for the exception for capital punishment for murder when done by a proper justice system and legitimate process. You appear to have come from a backward country in the middle east or Asia that does not hold Judeo-Christian or Biblical beliefs at all but you failed to learn the basics of western civilization and beliefs. Your thinking is very confused and irrational as a result. It is clear you don't know the difference between taking innocent life as in abortion and capital punishment for murder in the legal system. I know many religious people and leftists oppose capital punishment for murderers. That is another problem. Hanged to death or electric chair might be opposed by more people and is an older way of execution. The MAID method might appeal to more people because it is not supposed to be painful and is more peaceful. But it accomplishes the same thing. Thousands of people are receiving MAID each year in Canada. It might be more palatable to people who oppose the death penalty.
  12. I prefer to listen to what God has said in his word (Genesis 9:6) which ordained capital punishment for murderers. You prefer to let these heinous people escape what they are due.
  13. " 6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. " Genesis 9:6 KJV If God ordered capital punishment for murder, why do you oppose God and claim it is against "Christianity"? Which evil spirit are you listening to today? "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered} 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. " Romans 13:1-4 KJV
  14. They give MAID to all kinds of people who have committed no crime such as old people, handicapped people, and mentally ill people. Yet 83 people have been murdered in Toronto up to today and it is costing taxpayers a fortune to keep the murderers behind bars or just release them after a relatively short period in prison, which is often the case. The simple solution is to give MAID (medical assistance in dying) to the murderers. Every day someone is shot to death or stabbed to death. The police are working hard but they cannot stop it. The judicial system is very lenient and is making things worse. The streets are full of dangerous, mentally ill people who should not be there. So once suspects are given a fair trial and with DNA evidence if possible, they should be given MAID. That would act as a major deterrent and remove that particular one from repeating the offence again. This should include drivers who willingly act totally irresponsibly by drinking, taking drugs, and speeding very fast and kill pedestrians.. We have had a number of these cases in recent times. This needs to end. MAID involves giving three injections, beginning with a sedative injection and followed by two injections that stop the body function and heart. This is quick and possibly painless. A good way to deal with them.
  15. A man in the U.S. brutally murdered a ten year girl and will be executed possibly today by lethal injections. Oklahoma prepares to perform the nation's 25th and final execution of 2024 A young man in Canada who drove his car wildly through the streets of Vancouver at a high rate and recorded it on social media killed a pedestrian and will likely get off with a couple years in prison. In Canada the justice system will likely take into consideration various factors such as the man's race (FN), his difficult upbringing associated with foster care. There is no justice in Canada. The contrast in the punishment between these two cases is shocking. In another case the punishment is extremely light. This was in Washington state. Man who struck, killed pedestrian and fled is sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison
  16. Canada under the Liberal-NDP coalition is committing economic suicide with the war on climate change. Canada has one of the highest carbon taxes in the world. Most countries don't even have carbon taxes. The truth is it will make no difference at all to climate change because Canada's emissions are miniscule compared with the rest of the world plus there is no proof that man is a significant cause of climate change. This whole thing is a scam of the worst kind and punishes the population for nothing.
  17. Instead of trying to defend the indefensible, this is where we should be:
  18. More information on this: " 19th and early 20th centuries [edit] Antisemitic agitators in Paris burn an effigy of Mathieu Dreyfus during the Dreyfus affair. Photo believed to show the victims, mostly Jewish children, of a 1905 pogrom in Yekaterinoslav (today's Dnipro) By the end of the 19th century a new type of antisemitism had begun to develop in Europe, racial antisemitism.[26] It started as a part of a broader racist world view and belief of superiority of the "white race" over other "races", while existing prejudice was supported by pseudo-scientific theories such as Social Darwinism.[27] The main idea of racial antisemitism, as presented by racial theorists such as Joseph Arthur de Gobineau, is that the Jews are a distinct and inferior race compared to the European nations. The emphasis was on the non-European origin and culture of the Jews, meaning they were beyond redemption even if they converted to Christianity. This modern antisemitism emphasized hatred of the Jews as a race and not only due to their Jewish religion. The rise of modern antisemitism together with the rise of nationalism and the nation state brought a wave of antisemitism as Jews struggled to gain their rights as equal citizens. In Germany, this brought up the Hep-Hep riots in 1819 when the Jews of Bavaria were attacked for claiming their civic rights. One of the most famous examples of the 19th century was the Dreyfus affair,[28][29] when a French officer of Jewish origin, Alfred Dreyfus, was accused of high treason in 1894. The trial sparked a wave of antisemitism in France: eventually Dreyfus was found innocent of the charges in 1906. The affair greatly inspired Theodor Herzl. In eastern Europe, religious antisemitism remained influential as the Industrial Revolution affected those areas less. During the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a number of pogroms occurred in Russia, sparked by various variables such as antisemitic political movements, the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881 and blood libels[30][31] about Jews killing Christian children. The most famous blood libel was the Beilis Trial[32][33] that took place in Kiev in 1903 when a local Jew was found innocent from the accusations of killing a Christian boy. Another example of modern antisemitism in Europe was the conspiracy theory of Jewish world economic domination, as presented in the hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion[34][35] which was first published in Russia in 1903 and became known outside Russia after the Russian Revolution of 1917. This theory was strengthened by the leading part Jews like the Rothschild family played in the European banking system. The pogroms in 1881 and after the first Russian Revolution of 1905 cost thousands of Jewish lives and more than a million migrated to America. The second Russian revolution and the civil war that came afterwards sparked a new wave of pogroms against the Jews as nationalist militias and regular armies fought over the control of the country. The casualties from the pogroms were estimated in tens of thousands dead.[36] The Holocaust [edit] Main articles: History of the Jews during World War II and The Holocaust A wagon piled high with corpses outside the crematorium in the newly liberated Buchenwald concentration camp, 1945 The Holocaust was among the most significant events in modern Jewish history and one of the largest genocides in the history of the world. Approximately six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis, accounting for roughly 2/3 of all European Jews. unquote Antisemitism in Europe - Wikipedia
  19. We know there have been isolated resistance to the Nazis in WW2, but as far the Jews were concerned, this was not the rule in Nazi occupied countries. The Jews were transported to the death camps from all over Europe during WW2. The history demonstrates anti-Semitism was a major problem for nearly two millenia. quote Antisemitism, the prejudice or discrimination against Jews, has had a long history since the ancient times. While antisemitism had already been prevalent in ancient Greece and Roman Empire, its institutionalization in European Christianity after the destruction of the ancient Jewish cultural center in Jerusalem caused two millennia of segregation, expulsions, persecutions, pogroms, genocides of Jews, which culminated in the 20th-century Holocaust in Nazi German-occupied European states, where 67% European Jews were murdered.[1] Antisemitism in Europe in the Middle Ages was largely influenced by the Christian belief that the Jewish people were collectively responsible for the death of Jesus through the so-called blood curse of Pontius Pilate in the Gospels. Persecutions against Jews were widespread during the Crusades, beginning in 1095, when a number of communities, especially in France and the Rhineland, were massacred.[2] On many occasions, Jews were accused of the ritual murder of Christian children in what were called blood libels. The first known blood libel was the story of William of Norwich (d. 1144), whose murder sparked accusations of ritual murder and torture by the local Jews.[3] The Black Death which devastated Europe in the 14th century also gave rise to widespread persecution. In the face of the terrifying spread of the plague, the Jews served as scapegoats and were accused of poisoning the wells. Many Jewish communities in western and central Europe were destroyed in a wave of violence between 1348 and 1350.[4][5] For example, some two thousand Jews were massacred by burning in Strasbourg, in February 1349, upon a decision by the city council, before the plague had reached the city.[6][7] In the German states a total of approximately 300 Jewish communities were destroyed during this period, because of Jews being killed or driven out.[8] unquote Antisemitism in Europe - Wikipedia
  20. Canada is a post national state and according to Trudeau and Liberals Canada must send billions of dollars to other countries around the world instead of fixing the problems here such as the porous border, illegal migrants, and a neglected military and health care system.
  21. We have seen some ghastly results of Socialism in Canada too. One major example is the failing health care system, which won't allow private care alongside the public system to help the failing system, as people die on waiting lists for cardiac care. We have also recently seen how a Human Rights Tribunal fined a mayor and a little village for failing to fly a special interest group's flag. " It’s not uncommon to hear Canadian-born politicians, university professors and activists speak fondly of socialism and communism. Yet, why is it that people who have actually lived in such regimes want nothing to do with them? SecondStreet.org’s Survivors of Socialism project includes interviews with people who came to Canada from socialist and communist regimes, as well as conversations with experts, a policy brief and more. Most importantly, we asked Canadians who fled such regimes – are there any policies in Canada that concern you as they remind you of the country you left?"

  22. Maybe if kids didn't eat so much candy and drink so much pop, they wouldn't have all the dental problems. People need to take responsibility for their own health care and deal with it.
  23. There is a major difference between fluoridation and chlorination. Fluoridation is done for the purpose of medicating the citizens while chlorination is done to kill the harmful bacteria in the water systems, not medicate the population. Big difference. Funny how you ignored that and try to make it look like both are for the same purpose. No citizen should be forced to be medicated through the public water system. No to fluoridation.
  24. Did the pope during WW2 ever condemn the Holocaust or Nazism and stand against it? Doesn't appear so. "printed on Protestant minds the indelible conviction that Catholicism was a bloody and treacherous religion".[4] "In the 20th century "Documentation related to the pope’s wartime activities has long been housed in the Vatican Archives, which remained largely closed to researchers until earlier this year. Now, historians examining newly opened files from the vast collections say they’ve found evidence, detailed in German weekly Die Ziet, that suggests Pius learned of the mass slaughter of Jews in fall 1942.

  25. The devil walketh about seeking whom he may devour. The demons control the world and every major false religion. This has nothing to do with hating Catholics. Do you think disliking Islam means one hates Muslims too? Why pretend opposing a religious system means you are hating the followers? Only brainwashed slaves of the devil use that claim. We know why you make that claim. Are you some sort of Catholic? Going by your comments, you have nothing at all that indicates you have Christian beliefs. Perhaps you think that the Pope or priest can somehow save you. That is a false hope. Read the Bible and find out why. How many people have been killed in the past 1,500 years in the name of the religion of Rome? How many billions of dollars does Rome have, taken from the people to buy their way into heaven in the last 1,500 years? And you think everyone should just wave off the dark history as if nothing happened. What has changed since then?
