  1. There are many powerful politicians, globalists, billionaires, and people working toward a one-world government. This will mean the complete loss of all freedoms. Get this: The World Economic Forum was founded in 1971 by Karl Schwab. PM Justin Trudeau is a graduate of the WEF program along with other notable figures. Anyone can read about the plan of the WEF on their website. They don't hide it. It is called the great RESET, with which they plan to change the world. Now is the time for a 'great reset' of capitalism | World Economic Forum (weforum.org) These people have been totally deceived by Satan otherwise called the Devil. A one world system ruled by the anti-Christ and false prophet is prophesied to come to pass. We need to ask ourselves, are we a pawn of Satan or are we on God's side. We already have powerful organizations and individuals who are working on bringing in a one world government. This is no conspiracy theory. This is already happening. The people who try to ban speaking about Biblical Christianity are the kind of people who are totally deceived and will be swept into the one-world government easily. That is why Satan doesn't want anyone to reveal these facts about Biblical prophecy and what is happening. The only people who can offer some resistance to this tide are the Bible believers who are aware of what is happening in the world. More information on it can be found on various websites. "The Deep State conspiracy goes far deeper than Klaus Schwab and Joe Biden. Ultimately, Satan is behind the effort to destroy America from within and make us part of a globalist entity. The Bible calls it the Beast system, fast tracking us to the worldwide control of everyone on this planet. It’s the system of the Antichrist." Watch this video interview with Billy Crone, the author of the book on the planned destruction of America. Billy Crone: The Planned Destruction of America - The Prophecy Watchers When it is talking about the destruction of America, that mean Canada too.
  2. Canada's national government debt reached 1.5 trillion USD in March 2024. National household debt is 2181.5 billion dollars. The federal government deficit is expected to be 38.4 billion dollars in the 2024/25 fiscal year. The government does not have the money to finance anything. Increasing the deficit and the debt will have serious consequences.
  3. The fact is the Bible has the answers about life, politics, and the evil in the world. There is a struggle going on in the world between good and evil. But the Devil wants to silence people from talking about it from a Biblical point of view.
  4. You have that backwards. I am not out of touch with reality. There are unions in many industries which do not have the power to seriously harm a country. If the telephone workers go on strike, they don't cause a lot of harm because the telephone system keeps running. The supervisors and management do the essential services to keep it going. If the railway workers or longshoremen go on strike, they shut the seaports down or the transportation system for moving agriculture products and grains. That does serious harm to business and the country. That is nothing to do with "Red Seal" workers. So who is out of touch with reality? I don't blame anything on Red Seal tradesmen. I was talking about the type of union jobs that can hold a country hostage and extort far more than a typical wage. You think that is reasonable? $101,000 a year to load and unload container ships in seaports like Vancouver or work in the railway system. Let's face it there are typical union jobs in mills, factories, etc. that do not cause huge harm to the country if they go on strike. Then there are union jobs that hold a vast amount of power to demand outrageous contracts. They can seriously affect thousands or millions of people. The system is totally unbalanced and inequitable.
  5. It doesn't have to specifically mention closing down meat packing plants, but the power is in the bill to do it. " l) after consultation with the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Minister of Industry and provincial governments, provide for measures to (i) reduce the risks posed by antimicrobial resistance, (ii) regulate commercial activities that can contribute to pandemic risk, including industrial animal agriculture, (iii) promote commercial activities that can help reduce pandemic risk, including the production of alternative proteins, and (iv) phase out commercial activities that disproportionately contribute to pandemic risk, including activities that involve high-risk species; unquote
  6. You should study pre colonization aboriginal belief systems. They involved Shaminism (witch doctors) which was totally alien to European settler beliefs and culture. It was not something that could fit in with today's western society. The history of colonization involved conflict with aboriginal belief systems and European missionaries. It was quite a sensitive subject and continues to be. I don't think those belief systems could possibly fit in with non-native society, laws, and life. Yet liberal governments have mixed healing lodges in with the Canadian justice system, Liberal ideology seems to try to give lighter sentences than non-native offenders and in some cases send offenders to healing lodges. It was a native who was released on parole that murdered about a dozen people in the Cree nation in Saskatchewan a few years ago.
  7. It is not just Mother Earth or animism or worship of birds and animals that happened. Guess you don't know about the heathen barbaric practices that took place in central and south America, Africa, southeast Asia, and other places in the world before missionaries and Europeans arrived. The fact is some aboriginals practiced human sacrifice. Yes, babies were offered to the heathen gods. There were other things that people now would find abhorrent. But of course many people don't know about these things. "Human sacrifice and other forms of ritual violence were widespread in the pre-Columbian Americas. This chapter focuses on ritual violence and human sacrifice in the ranked and stratified societies in the south-western and south-eastern culture areas of North America, in Mesoamerica, and the central Andes. It argues that, at least in some cultures, human sacrifices represented regular donations of energy to the supernatural sphere, a kind of “food for the gods” to maintain the cosmos. This kind of energizing was extended to deified humans. Companions and retainers were sacrificed as attendants of deceased high-ranking personages. Thus, the afterlife mirrored the social hierarchy on earth. Humans were also offered for the dedication and sanctification of temples. Some sacrificial victims became impersonators or representations of deities and other supernatural powers in ritual re-enactments of particular myths. They were considered messengers or mediators in the communication with the spiritual sphere. Humans were sacrificed as special donations pleading or reciprocating for certain benefits, such as a good harvest. The sacrifice could be an act of expiation, penitence and relinquishment redressing faults or sins of the sacrificing individual or collective." Human Sacrifice and Ritualised Violence in the Americas before the European Conquest (Chapter 19) - The Cambridge World History of Violence Was colonization of the Americas really as bad as some now claim? I don't think so.
  8. If you think I am wrong, your argument is with God and the Bible.
  9. Election campaigns are all about promising everything possible to get votes. It is up to the voter to decide who is telling the truth, what is best, and who is making phony promises just to get elected.
  10. Only pointing out a few things that show that our government is not on the right track. It's pretty bad when even a Communist country is doing better that a western country in some things. It is not advocating Communism, but our country needs to look closely at what it is doing wrong. Why such outrageous prices for rent, homes, and other things? Somethings not right. Why should some people make over 100 thousand a year for a labour or trade type job while other people get a little more than minimum wage?
  11. I am just replying to comments made to me. I don't insult nearly as much as you do. At least I try to avoid insulting. It is better to receive insults than to give them. I have had more than my share. I am insulted simply because I am a bible believer, even if I am just talking about politics or anything. Hate is the name of it. Nope. People hate Christians because that is just the way it is. Always has been. Jesus said that is the way it would be. It is part of being a Christian. If the world loves you, beware. That is price to pay for just being a Christian. I only convey what the Bible says. Don't say somebody didn't try to warn you.
  12. Since you mentioned rights and unions, I would have to question some of what some unions get and how they hold such vital jobs that they can make far higher salaries than most people. Take longshoremen in Vancouver for example. When they go on strike, they are in a position to hold the country hostage and I would say extort much higher salaries and contract benefits than most other workers. Is this reasonable? The average wage for a Vancouver longshoreman is $100, 841 per year. Then there are grocery store workers, drug store workers, fast food workers, all barely earning a little more than minimum wage. Hardly enough to live on, especially if you have a family.
  13. No, it doesn't get anything wrong. I would suggest you stick to the subject instead of trying to make false accusations.
  14. I am not called to go to a far off country to be a missionary. There is work to do right here. Life is a struggle in lots of ways but I trust in Jesus Christ to get me through it. You still don't believe and need to study the gospel of John and become a believer yourself. You haven't shown any interest at all. Do you want to have eternal life? The time is now.
  15. I read the verses and don't see what your point is. You seem to be trying to invent something that is not there. And you can't explain what exactly the problem is. Yes I recall that circumference is 2 times Pi times the radius. 2PiR However it is not necessary for anyone to know that to read the Bible. In fact, nobody needs to know that formula to live their life.
  16. Yes, I know how to calculate circumference. But I don't see anything in those verses about calculating circumference. Not sure what you are referring to.
  17. Can you quote the actual verse you are talking about? I just looked at 2 Chronicles 4:2-5 and don't see anything specifically about a circle. What version of the Bible are you looking at? Can you spell out the sentence you have a problem with?
  18. That is nonsense. Anybody can study the KJV Bible and don't need to know any letters of the Hebrew or Greek alphabet. Those letters have nothing to do with the KJV which is in English. The KJV is an absolutely accurate and trustworthy Bible and no knowledge of Greek is required to study and learn from it. The KJV translators would have had to have a lot of understanding of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts when they made the English translation we call the KJV, but the reader doesn't need to know Greek or Hebrew. We are reading it in English.
  19. OK, let's be clear. You are referring to a letter called Pi. That is not in the KJV Bible. So what is your point? Why mention it?
  20. You must mean 1 Kings 7:23-26 There is 1st Kings and 2nd Kings, two separate books. What is your point? I looked up those verses and don't see what your point is. You quoted a few verses but never explained at all why or what you are referring to. I have a KJV Bible Commentary and can also see what they say if you can give details of what you are referring to.
  21. By faith I mean faith in the God of the Bible, the true God. There you give examples of faith in the wrong thing. Of course faith in false gods will lead nowhere. I am talking about faith in the Bible, in English, the King James Bible of 1611. If one has a basic understanding, they will realize that all these other gods you mention are false gods. Of course we are not talking about faith in just anything. It has to be in the true God and his written revelation, the Bible. Not correct. If you don't understand the Bible at all, of course you won't see what this is all about. You talk about critical thinking and logical reasoning, but you ignore the central truth that the universe was created by God and he revealed himself in the Bible. You seem to be trying to make an argument that all of that is irrelevant when it is the central issue. What does that mean? Is that some kind of Hebrew or Greek letter? If so, I don't see what your point is. I am not a Greek or Hebrew scholar and it has no relevance here.
  22. That is not a legible verse reference? What book of the Bible? I assume the chapter and verse is 3:14 but what book? Trying to attack the Bible is a losing proposition. That proves nothing. There are parts of the Bible that are hard to understand initially and require some study.
  23. False. Nothing has disproved what the Bible says. The fact that Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and seen by many eye witnesses proves he is who he said he is, God the Son, that is, God. God is a trinity made up of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Since Jesus recognized the Scripture as being from God, then that should be final.
  24. If you don't have faith in what God wrote in the Bible, then you are not going to believe anything about it. I gave a link to help explain why the Bible should be believed, but of course you ignored it. All I can do is give you the reasons why you should believe the Bible. If you refuse to read it, there is nothing much I can do. quote Though Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God, it is obvious that the world as a whole does not pay attention to what the Bible says. So why should we pay attention to what the Bible says? What is Faith? A nineteenth-century philosopher by the name of Comte held that we should believe only what we can observe personally. Though advanced as a practical philosophy, it is impossible to live with this definition of faith. Everyone in his daily life is constantly believing and acting upon certain facts that are not necessarily proved. For instance, if we drive a car across a bridge, how do we know by observation that the bridge will not break down? If we board an airplane for a flight to a distant city, how do we know whether the thousands of workers who put the plane together did a good job, whether the mechanics properly checked the plane, whether enough fuel has been added, and whether the flight crew is competent to fly the plane? We have been able to observe none of these factors, and yet we board a plane with a good deal of confidence. In everyday life, faith is a part of the way we live. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below But faith is not a totally irrational step. After driving over many bridges and observing others doing the same, we assume that bridges are constructed safely. After flying thousands of miles, we assume that those involved in the process of flying have done their duty well. Though we have only partial knowledge, we believe it is sufficient upon which to base our faith. In coming to the Bible, we do not have all the proofs that the Bible is the Word of God, but we have many that are quite sufficient. A study of the Bible not only provides an object of faith, something to believe in, but gives us many reasons why we should believe what the Bible states. The answer to why we believe the Bible involves many facts that together provide an intelligent basis for believing the Bible to be a supernatural statement of truth. The Bible itself claims to be a supernatural book that God produced through human authors. The Bible Inspired of the Holy Spirit The authors of the Bible do not claim to be men of supernatural knowledge, and they freely admit that God is the source of their information. This is brought out in a central text that states, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The claim in this statement is that all Scripture, that is, all the “holy Scriptures” (2 Tim. 3:15), comes from God, who guided the men who wrote it. This was a supernatural process that human minds cannot understand, but the practical effect was that the writers wrote what was their thinking, but their thinking was so guided by God that the very words they used to express the truth were exactly what God wanted them to use. Because of this, the Scriptures are effective in teaching spiritual truth about God, about morals, about salvation, and about our future hope. The Scriptures are capable of rebuking those who are not obeying its commands. The Scriptures also provide correction. They answer the question, How can a person who is not doing the will of God correct his life and make it correspond to the will of God? They also provide training, or schooling, in righteous living as well as teach all the truth about God, His righteousness, His justification, and the righteousness that He can provide for a Christian. The end result is that the man of God as he studies the Bible will be equipped thoroughly, as the Scripture states, for every good work into which God leads him. The process of inspiration is beyond our understanding. In reading Scripture, however, it becomes evident that inspiration does not hinder human expressions. As illustrated in many Psalms, the Scriptures record the thinking of the psalmist, even his doubts and his fears. They state his struggles. All of this, however, is by divine design, and what is written accurately portrays the situation and helps one to understand something of the spiritual struggles that every godly person goes through. This also explains how various sources of information can be used sometimes by direct revelation from God, as would be the case in regard to creation and in regard to eternity future or in regard to history as to whether an account of history is accurate or not. Inspiration would assure that God would correct any mistake in recording history and in any other writing that might be used as a basis for information, such as the genealogies and other facts that related to Israel written by the scribes in the Old Testament. In all these cases, inspiration guarantees that what they wrote was accurate and true and that God would supernaturally correct any mistakes that otherwise might appear." For the full article: 3.

  25. I just gave a possible explanation but the Bible doesn't say how they travelled. If you are so hung up on fossil records, tell me where are the fossil records that prove evolution? They don't exist.
