  1. Some antisemites don't support the state of Israel's right to exist. They should be deported whenever possible.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Zionism is simply the support of the State of Israel. Nothing wrong with that unless you are a diehard anti-Semite.
  6. Terry Glavin: Canada is losing the fight against foreign interference (msn.com)
  7. 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!
  8. 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?
  9. " 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. It was obvious I was wasting my time anyway. Nothing I said would have made any difference.
  16. He asked me to give my own definition, not a dictionary definition. So I answered him as he asked, and he rejected it. He never asked for a study report on how many or why some scientists rejected it. He was obviously not interested in a rational discussion. Only interested in throwing an insult or two and walking away. Incidentally truth is not determined by polls or numbers of people on one side or the other. History proves that many things that were previously believed by most people were later rejected as false.
  17. So you actually support biological males going into women's washrooms and changing rooms? It appears you don't respect women. You seem very confused. It is such a simple straightforward issue.
  18. quote Water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas. It’s responsible for about half of Earth’s greenhouse effect — the process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable. Without them, Earth’s surface temperature would be about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius) colder. Water vapor is also a key part of Earth’s water cycle: the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth’s atmosphere, land, and ocean as liquid water, solid ice, and gaseous water vapor. unquote Steamy Relationships: How Atmospheric Water Vapor Amplifies Earth's Greenhouse Effect – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet (nasa.gov) If NASA claims water vapour is a major cause of global warming by the greenhouse effect, how does anyone come to the conclusion that man is the culprit? Your claim about deforestation is another unproven claim. Lots of speculation, but no absolute proof of anything. God is in control and we should trust him. He put man on earth and he has a plan for the future. Climate alarmism is a scam.
  19. Why are you assuming I am wrong. The total CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04 % of the atmospheric gases. You can google that and will see it on countless websites. Out of that 0.04%, man only contributes 3% of 0.04% which is an extremely tiny amount. So how could that possibly cause man-made climate change? Oh, I know. In your deep knowledge you will have the answer, right? So what is 3% of 0.04% equal to? Almost nothing. The earth 's atmosphere is loaded with water vapour which is also a greenhouse gas. The answer is 0.2 to 4%. There is a very wide difference between 0.2% and 4%. They don't even really know how much water vapour is in the atmosphere. Probably because it is impossible to measure it and know. So how credible are these people who claim man is the cause of climate change. There is no credibility. Climate alarmists claim water vapour is not the cause; man is the cause. Why? They can't give a proven reason.
  20. My opponent asked me to define evolution in my own words. Did you actually read my response and definition, which was quite accurate. If you are so smart, how would you answer him and define evolution in your own words. It is pure nonsense to claim my definition was somehow fake or nonsense. It was accurate. You are one to talk about getting along with one another on the forum. Seems to me you are constantly throwing barbs back and forth with people.
  21. The village may be a bunch of LGBTQ supporters. What good is that? Let parents raise their own kids and keep your nose out.
  22. The Liberals have nothing to gain by keeping this coalition deal with the NDP. The NDP are not going to bring the government down over the failure to get pharmacare because the NDP knows they may lose seats. The Liberals hopefully realize there is no money for pharmacare. Canada is already billions of dollars in debt.
  23. I think so too. I don't think the NDP Is in a hurry for an election either. They may lose some seats if one is called early. Even if the coalition deal falls apart, the NDP will probably still support the government to avoid an election as long as possible.
  24. You must be totally blind or willfully so. Any thinking person would understand one doesn't need to use the exact words "faith alone" to have the same meaning. The countless verses I quoted say repeatedly that it is by believing or faith or similar thoughts. It is being dishonest to deny that and claim they must say the words "faith alone" when the verses clearly demonstrate salvation is by faith. Again you cherry pick one or two verses and misinterpret them in a way that contradicts countless other verses that say salvation is by faith. You still haven't learned the basic principle that the Bible must be interpreted in a way that does not contradict itself.
