  1. That is blasphemy. Do you believe in Jesus Christ of the Bible? Why are you worried about what hell will be like or how long it lasts?
  2. I think hell will probably be a place where unsaved sinners will meet up with the worst unrepentant criminals that lived. They will be in the company of these people, people like Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, and others like violent criminals, liars, thieves, serial killers, mass murderers, rapists, etc. who have never repented and been born again. " 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:43-48 KJV
  3. I suspect you do not bother reading replies so I won't hold my breath. But here it is for anyone else who might be interested. quote First, the Bible declares that all sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4). The extent of the punishment depends, in part, on the target of the crime. In a human court of law, a physical assault against an individual will usually result in a fine and possibly some time in jail. In contrast, a physical assault against the president or prime minister of a country will likely result in a lifetime in prison. And this is the case despite the fact that the crime was a one-time offense, not a continual, ongoing action. God is infinitely higher and greater than any human being. How much more are our crimes worthy of a great punishment in light of the fact that our sins are against God (Romans 6:23)? Second, the idea that we cease sinning after death is not taught in the Bible. Are those who go to hell suddenly sinless and perfect? No. Those who go into eternity without Christ will be confirmed in their wickedness. The hard-hearted will be eternally hard-hearted. There will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” in hell (Matthew 25:30), but no repentance. Sinners in hell will be given over to their own nature; they will be sin-infected, evil, immoral, and depraved beings for all of eternity, forever unredeemed and unregenerate. The lake of fire will be a place of eternal rebellion against God—even as that rebellion is judged (Revelation 20:14–15; cf. Revelation 16:9, 11). Unsaved people do not only sin for 70, 80, 90, or 100 years. They sin for eternity. What it comes down to is this—if a person wants to be separated from God for eternity, God will grant that desire. Believers are those who say to God, “Your will be done.” Unbelievers are those to whom God says, “Your will be done.” The will of the unsaved is to reject salvation through Jesus Christ and remain in sin; God will honor that decision, and its consequences, for eternity. unquote How is an eternity in hell a just punishment for only a human lifetime of sin? | GotQuestions.org
  4. The two biggest lies ever told are: 1. The theory of evolution (or Darwinism). It is unproven. 2. There are more than two genders and one can change his/her gender. This also is obviously false. The biology of humans proves it is false. That fact that many people believe both of these lies just proves that humans are easily deceived and will fall for almost anything.
  5. I can't see how this is going to work. The government is already in debt at least ten billion I believe. There is no such as just taxing the wealthy as the NDP keeps repeating. If they try that, they will just scare away investment. The government is already struggling to get companies to invest in Canada because of the red tape, regulations and taxes. An airline company is now closing down because of the excessive regulations, fees, and taxes. Government just can't "tax the wealthy" without dire consequences. I doubt Singh even has a clue where the money would come from for a pharmacare program. It can't just be shoved onto the debt either because interest has to be paid on debt which takes money away from other government programs. Also provinces would be asked to pay for the pharmacare program because health care is primarily a provincial responsibility. Some provinces are already billions of dollars in debt and they have no interest in raising taxes when people are already struggling to pay the rent or mortgages and many can't afford a home or groceries. The money is just not there for an expensive pharmacare program. So there is no answer as to how pharmacare could be paid for. It may take a massive tax increase which would go over like a lead balloon.
  6. quote Jews’ continuous presence in the land of Israel for well over 3,000 years, Trotter writes, “affirms their ‘mana whenua’ or historic right to the land.” unquote Barbara Kay: Israel a true Indigenous success story (msn.com) The early history of Israel is stated clearly in the Old Testament. God created the nation of Israel and stated quite clearly the land will belong to them forever. Many of them were driven out of the land down through the centuries, but some remained. They have the title in Holy Scripture which is a foundation of both Jewish Bible and Christian Bibles. The Christian Bible's Old Testament is part of the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Therefore we have the history in the Christian Bible. The world owes the Jews for being the conduit that God used to provide the world with the Holy Scriptures (Old Testament). God also used the Jews to bring the Messiah, Jesus Christ into the world to save the world. Those who reject that will spend eternity in hell. Those who pay attention to the Bible and believe it and believe in Jesus Christ will be saved and spend eternity in heaven. The rest are heading for hell. The Bible also says those who bless the Jews will be blessed and those who curse the Jews will be cursed. Anti-semites should heed that warning. Nobody can fight against God and win.
  7. Porn should be outlawed and banned completely from the internet. It is destroying society.
  8. You don't appear to have any idea about the true spiritual warfare that is going on in the world between good and evil, or truth and error. So you are stumbling along in darkness. Ian Paisley was one of the greatest politicians and preachers of the 20th century. Why do you think the Communists, Marxists, anti-Christians, anti-Bible people, and revolutionaries always came out to his public meetings to demonstrate and protest and try to silence him?
  9. People migrating is just how the world was settled. If you don't think non-natives have a right to live in Canada, what are you doing here? Israel is a unique case because God gave them that land in perpetuity. If you don't accept the Bible, there is nothing more to discuss.
  10. Some antisemites don't support the state of Israel's right to exist. They should be deported whenever possible.
  11. That land belongs to Israel and it existed there several thousand years ago. Israel has a perfect right to their homeland. The world is generally anti-Semitic and they need to be able to defend themselves from the hatred.
  12. We should stop immigration from Muslim countries but also stop sending money to UNRWA and various Palestinian groups and stop sending money to third world countries like Haiti. The whole foreign affairs policy is a disaster. Stop the massive third world immigration. Canada now belongs to the U.N. They dictate Canadian policy. A good example is the adoption of UNDRIP.
  13. The Liberal government just committed tens of millions of dollars to Haiti. Is there no end of throwing taxpayer money to everything around the world? Yet the government of Canada is billions of dollars in debt.
  14. Zionism is simply the support of the State of Israel. Nothing wrong with that unless you are a diehard anti-Semite.
  15. Terry Glavin: Canada is losing the fight against foreign interference (msn.com)
  16. I tried many times to talk reasonable and quoted many verses but you reject it all and throw dirt back. No more time for that. Pure lie!
  17. I don't see much value in trying to talk to you. You falsely accuse constantly. Your religion is a false one which teaches salvation by faith plus works plus sacraments, plus confessing to a priest, belong to the RC church, etc. What about purgatory? Do you believe in that too?
  18. " Matthew 7:21-23 meaning Jesus asserts He will refuse many people entrance into His kingdom on the Day of Judgment because they did not know Him or follow His Father’s will. Despite their claims of performing mighty works in His name, their deeds and hearts violated God’s law." Matthew 7:21-23 meaning | TheBibleSays.com That may be a difficult passage to understand. It may require some time to study what different commentaries say. You can google them. Not every commentary may be accurate, but some may help to understand. "1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: " Romans 5:1 KJV Justification is by faith alone. You obviously proclaim that you can justify yourself by faith plus works. Of course Jesus dying on the cross for me saved me, not my own works. You are trusting in yourself to help save you. Therefore you cannot claim you are saved. You simply don't know.
  19. REmember the Romanist uses that verse and twists it to mean salvation is by faith plus works. That contradicts many, many verse in the rest of the bible. One cannot take one verse and interpret it in a way that contradicts countless other verses that clearly say salvation is by faith alone. The proper way to interpret that verse is that a Christian should have evidence that he is a believer by the kind of life he lives. He should give evidence. But his salvation was because of grace through faith, not of works as Ephesians 2:8,9 says. That is how James must be interpreted. The Bible cannot contradict itself.
  20. Be careful when speaking about that verse with Yakuda. He is a diehard Romanist and rejects salvation by grace through faith. He is a polished RC defender. It is unbiblical. He believes in salvation by faith plus works and uses James 2:20-24 to promote Rome's false teaching. Over a hundred verses teach salvation is by faith alone. Once a person is saved, they are saved for eternity and then they do good works, but not to earn their way to heaven as Yakuda claims. That is contrary to Romans and especially Galatians. In Galatians, Paul strongly rebuked those who taught salvation by following the law. Salvation is entirely by what Jesus did on the cross. One must accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior and believe he died for them personally. Then they become a child of God. Works has nothing to do with that. Claiming works must be part of it to EARN salvation is a rejection of what Jesus did for sinners on the cross. It is a false religion.
  21. Read this book for free online or you can order a copy, possibly a used one from Alibris for a little less expense than a new one. New Age Bible Versions : G. A. Riplinger, Gail : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive The KJV is completely 100% accurate because God promised to preserve his word in various verses. Do you believe God?
  22. In the case of creation versus evolution, proof is a subjective term. Evidence is on the side of creation. The evidence is in the creation itself. It's extreme complexity points to the need for an intelligent designer-Creator. Science has barely scratched the surface of the complexity of life. The very fact of the complexity of the universe and of even the simple cell tells us that it required an extremely intelligent, designer - creator. Darwinists start from the premise that only a theory called evolution can explain the existence of the universe and life. That is an extremely biased starting point because they do not have the proof. It is a religion to them. Setting a premise like that is like putting a wall up and saying you cannot cross. The fact is the existence of the complex universe points to the need for a designer. The idea that it happened by accident has been rejected by many highly educated people.
  23. It is impossible to discuss something by basing it on something that is not really connected to the topic. If someone is not interested in considering the substance itself, there is no point in going further.
