You are lost in the biggest lie ever told. You sound like a diehard Darwinist or atheist. I would encourage you to get the book "Darwin's Universe - From Nothing, By Nothing, For Nothing, Survival for Nothing" by Yan T. Wee. Available on Amazon and many other bookstores. Available at a lower price used at Alibris website. Alibris has the book used for about $1.61 U.S. plus shipping. You couldn't beat that price. It is well worth it. This is the link to Alibris: Darwin's Universe - From Nothing, By Nothing, For Nothing - Survival for Nothing by Yan T Wee - Alibris Part of the preface says: "This book will walk us through cosmology, biology, philosophy, and end with theology, the queen of the sciences. Empirical science buries Darwinism and resurrects Creationism. We are more than cosmic orphans lost in an accidental, uncaring and dying Universe; we are living souls, made in the image of God, and designed to have a wonderful relationship with an awesome Creator." This book has a massive amount of food for thought. If we accept your view, life has no purpose, no meaning, and we are just a cosmic accident that happened for a brief moment in time. That means your thoughts are just a chemical reaction in your brain. If there is no purpose or meaning to life, what is the point of existence? That of course is completely contrary to scientific observation of the complexity of everything in the universe including the massive amount of DNA or genetic information in the simple cell, not to mention all the precise laws of physics which control how the universe functions. I could spend hours quoting parts of the book to try to make you aware of some things, but I think it would make more sense for you to get a copy and learn for yourself. There are countless facts that I cannot give you on here.

Canada has been governed by Papist liberals for most of its history. Quebec is largely Papist and Liberal. They decide the federal election outcome in most cases.

Polls show half of Canadians do not agree with gender change surgery or hormone treatment. Another issue Canadians are divided on but the Liberal NDP government still pushes it under their perverted ideology. This is the point. People who are Papists and who control the government are easily blinded by other ideologies because Romanism is a very flexible belief system that has no sound foundation. It is built on the opinions of men. When people are followers of false religion like Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh, their mind is open to almost anything. That includes totalitarianism and elimination of personal freedoms because in their mind, it's all for the common good. That is the same ideology basis as Communism or Marxism. All for the common good and what they perceive as the common good takes preference over human rights and personal freedoms.

You are dreaming. The NDP is completely Socialist and around 20% of the population votes for and supports the NDP. That is another large division. If they had their way, they would make Canada completely Socialist and destroy the country completely.

A recent survey found half of Canadians believe in Socialism. That is quite a divide. But of that 50% that believe in Socialism, they don't support it to the degree NDPers do. They favour a weaker kind of Socialism and support the Liberals. But it is still a huge divide between Canadians who do not support Socialism and those who do.

The thing about Popery is the great majority of Quebec and many in other parts of the country consider themselves as Catholics although most do not even attend their church. Some go occasionally at Christmas or Easter, but being a nominal member leads them to think they can be leftists, Marxists, progressives in favour of LGBTQ agendas, and state authoritarians and still be safe in their mother church even if they do not participate in it. After all they were baptized Catholic. This creates a barrier in their mind to learning the truth. The truth is in the Bible but people like Trudeau and his liberal cohorts reject it because the darkness of Rome has clouded their mind. They can be Marxist dictators and authoritarians because that is how they think and there is nothing in their thinking to tell them otherwise. In fact many of them attended Papist schools and Jesuit-founded and run universities. I will grant there are a few Catholics who recognize this leftist and perverse ideology of liberalism/authoritarianism and reject it in spite of their religious background and support freedom and conservatism. But this is the exception rather than the rule.

The fact that the four western provinces almost totally reject Trudeau and Liberals is another proof of major division in this country. Quebec, which has a high percentage of Papists and nominal Papists, and the rest of Canada are almost completely divided. Quebec is almost a self-governing country. They have major control over many things, but the rest of Canada does not. Trudeau and the Liberals cater to Quebec while Alberta, and to a lesser extent, Saskatchewan, are seriously alienated from the federal government and system. The federal government is run by to a large extent by Papists like Trudeau and the liberal elites in the Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa triangle clique who could care less about English Canada which has far more white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants (nominal Protestants) WASPs. Trudeau and liberals have no use for WASPs and have said so in many ways. They cater to third world immigrants and that is why they bring them in by the millions. But it is the attitude of Papists like Trudeau and some of his cohorts that believe they are God's gift to Canada and they can do whatever they want even if it amounts to authoritarianism. Good examples are the carbon tax which is forced down the throat of Canadians and all the government laws and policies that created the housing crisis mess.

There is more division in this country under Trudeau. His popularity has sunk to an all time low. The Convoy protests proved there are many people who totally disagree with the Liberal government. The Conservatives totally disagree with the Liberals and NDP. The CPC has raised more money I think than ever and far ahead of the Liberals in finances.

Fox's Book of Martyrs says "Though nearly all sects have persecuted their opponents, during a brief season, when men's passions were highly excited, and true religion had mournfully declined, yet no denomination except the papal hierarchy, has adopted as an article of religious belief, and a principle of practical observance, the right to destroy heretics for opinion's sake. The decrees of councils, and the bulls of popes, issued in conformity with those decrees, place this matter beyond a doubt. Persecution, therefore, and popery, are inseparably connected; because claiming infallibility, what she has once done is right for her to do again; yea, must be done under similar circumstances, or the claims of infallibility given up." I have never heard the Papacy retract this policy or express remorse or apologize to the world for their outrageous past. Wonder if anyone else has any links to reveal what the present policy is on this. The fact some of our federal leaders belong to this system, should give pause for thought. This was and remains an authoritarian system. Liberalism is closely tied to it because many liberals are members of the system. Did they ever renounce what happened down through history or even acknowledge these things happened? No, of course not. The authoritarian mentality still exists.

The military has been terribly neglected by the Liberals. We are not meeting out NATO commitments of 2%. Yet we are a relatively wealthy country living off the backs of the Americans for our defence in the world. What do you mean? Why burden the taxpayers with the cost of a phony war on climate change. Nobody can control the climate. But I agree about healthcare. If we are going to keep a public system then government must do some things to improve it even if it costs more money.

" Is Pierre Poilievre Jewish Or Christian? Pierre Poilievre, being a public figure in Canada, has chosen to keep his religious beliefs private, and no official information or public statement confirms whether he adheres to the Christian or Jewish faith. While some sources claim that he has identified himself as a practicing Roman Catholic, it’s important to note that there is no definitive proof or public statement from Poilievre confirming his religious views. Poilievre, in line with this approach, has not made his religious views a focal point of his public image." Is Pierre Poilievre Jewish Or Christian? Religion And Family (bandofoutsiders.com)

I doubt that very much. There is no information on what he believes. Bible believers have no choice but to vote for the least undesirable candidate or party. He was raised in a Catholic family. I believe he was adopted. But I have not been able to find any information about his beliefs. He is probably not a practicing or believing person. The Catholic religion is not Christianity from much close examination and comparison with the Bible. I would never support Jagmeet Singh for anything.

I was talking about what the Papacy did to so-called heretics in the past 2,000 years prior to the Reformation because you wouldn't accept what I said. The Bible was completed 1,900 years ago and does not record history since then. So we have to use other sources. But you don't accept the cruel dark history of the Roman church and refuse to acknowledge it. No surprise. History tells us everything we need to know. "By their works, ye shall know them".

Seems the NDP wants to bring in laws to control speech and make it a criminal offence for companies or lobbyists to say anything good about fossils fuels. This is a good example of the authoritarian and anti-human rights mentality that is becoming more prevalent among some liberals and left in our Popish nation. We see the Liberals forcing their ideology of liberalism which is largely a Popish form of authoritarianism on the country with laws implementing MAID, same sex marriage, etc. and a Papal supporter who praised China's Communist system and walks in pride parades. This is the same guy who once said evangelical Christians are the worst kind of Canadians. That is exactly how the Papacy felt about those who failed to bow their knees to Rome's religion and instead believed in their personal freedom to worship God in accordance with how they believed the Bible. So we have a divisive PM who attacked with words those who don't submit to his ideology.

Canada is ruled by a group of Papists who have no qualms about using dictatorial methods to impose their will. Being a part of the Papacy as many of them are leads to the belief that totalitarianism is the perfectly humane thing to do. They automatically spent 30 million dollars toward the Pope's last visit to Canada. Where is the freedom of religion for other religions if taxpayer money is spent to support Popery? We see it in many ways that laws and government operate. A look at the history of persecution by Popery in the past 1,700 years should tell us something about the attitudes that led to totalitarian authoritarianism. That is exactly how the Papacy operated. quote Though nearly all sects have persecuted their opponents, during a brief season, when men's passions were highly excited, and true religion had mournfully declined, yet no denomination except the papal hierarchy, has adopted as an article of religious belief, and a principle of practical observance, the right to destroy heretics for opinion's sake.

Persecution, therefore, and popery, are inseparably connected; because claiming infallibility, what she has once done is right for her to do again; yea, must be done under similar circumstances, or the claims of infallibility given up. There is no escaping this conclusion. It is right, therefore, to charge upon popery, all the persecutions and horrid cruelties which have stained the annals of the papal church during her long and bloody career of darkness and crime. Every sigh which has been heaved in the dungeons of the Inquisition—every groan which has been extorted by the racks and instruments of torture, which the malice of her bigoted votaries, stimulated by infernal wisdom, ever invented, has witnessed in the ear of God, against the "Mother of Harlots;" and those kings of the earth, who giving their power to the "Beast" have aided her in the cruel work of desolation and death. The valleys of Piedmont, the mountains of Switzerland, the vine crowned hills of Italy and France—and all parts of Germany and the low countries, have by turns, been lighted by the fires of burning victims, or crimsoned with the blood of those who have suffered death at the hands of the cruel emissaries of popery. England too, has drunken deep of the "wine of the fierceness of her wrath," as the blood of Cobham, and the ashes of the Smithfield martyrs can testify. Ireland and Scotland, likewise, have each been made the theatre of her atrocities. But no where has the system been exhibited in its native unalleviated deformity, as in Spain, Portugal and their South American dependencies. For centuries, such a system of police was established by the Holy Inquisitors, that these countries resembled a vast whispering gallery, where the slightest murmur of discontent could be heard and punished. Such has been the effect of superstition and the terror of the Holy Office, upon the mind, as completely to break the pride of the Castillian noble, and make him the unresisting victim of every mendicant friar and "hemp-sandaled monk."

Actually the citation just came to mind. There is a relatively famous book. Maybe you heard of it. Fox's Book of Martyrs Or A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs I haven't read it myself but have heard of it many times. It is available to read for free at archive.com and other websites. Rome ran a dictatorship for over a thousand years. You either bowed the knee to Rome or you were a heretic that had to be dealt with. 400 years of the Inquisition was about persecuting and punishing heretics. All done in the name of God. Some religion.

There quite likely were individuals or small groups of believers since the apostolic age who believe in salvation by grace through faith, but they could not come out in the open because Rome controlled the state. It was the state religion for most of the western world for over a thousand years until the Reformation.

Take a look at this link and video. Why is salvation by works the predominantly held viewpoint? | GotQuestions.org

I don't give you "my truth". Only God's truth which is revealed in his word the Bible is absolute truth. Do you think you are a sinner or do you think you are not so bad? Where do you think you will end up when you pass away?

This article explains why many or most people believe that their salvation depends on works. It is human nature and many false religions believe along that line of thinking. quote The simple answer is that salvation by works seems right in the eyes of man. One of man’s basic desires is to be in control of his own destiny, and that includes his eternal destiny. Salvation by works appeals to man’s pride and his desire to be in control. Being saved by works appeals to that desire far more than the idea of being saved by faith alone. Also, man has an inherent sense of justice. Even the most ardent atheist believes in some type of justice and has a sense of right and wrong, even if he has no moral basis for making such judgments. Our inherent sense of right and wrong demands that if we are to be saved, our “good works” must outweigh our “bad works.” Therefore, it is natural that when man creates a religion it would involve some type of salvation by works. Because salvation by works appeals to man’s sinful nature, it forms the basis of almost every religion except for biblical Christianity. Proverbs 14:12 tells us that “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Salvation by works seems right to men, which is why it is the predominantly held viewpoint. That is exactly why biblical Christianity is so different from all other religions—it is the only religion that teaches salvation is a gift of God and not of works. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). Another reason why salvation by works is the predominantly held viewpoint is that natural or unregenerate man does not fully understand the extent of his own sinfulness or of God’s holiness. Man’s heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9), and God is infinitely holy (Isaiah 6:3). The deceit of our hearts is the very thing that colors our perception of the extent of that deceit and is what prevents us from seeing our true state before a God whose holiness we are also unable to fully comprehend. But the truth remains that our sinfulness and God’s holiness combine to make our best efforts as “filthy rags” before a holy God (Isaiah 64:6; cf. 6:1–5). The thought that man’s good works could ever balance out his bad works is a totally unbiblical concept. Not only that, but the Bible also teaches that God’s standard is nothing less than 100 percent perfection. If we stumble in keeping just one part of God’s righteous law, we are as guilty as if we had broken all of it (James 2:10). Therefore, there is no way we could ever be saved if salvation truly were dependent on works. unquote Why is salvation by works the predominantly held viewpoint? | GotQuestions.org

You are missing the nuance of the Biblical doctrine of justification by faith alone. You need to slow down and THINK a little. Do you really understand what you are talking about? I doubt very much you even understand the doctrine of justification by faith which you profess to oppose. At least understand it so you can discuss it intelligently.

Sadly you are ignoring many, many verses which were quoted to you. You cling to one verse and ignore all the rest. Not the way to understand Scripture. You know nothing about preachers and their theological training obviously. I will leave it for now in God's hands. Only God can change a person's heart. Luther, Calvin, and others were RC priests I understand. God opened their eyes and delivered them from a false religious system. So there is hope.

You actually made the claim you live a moral life. But the Bible says: "23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 I never lied. That is your fabrication. I simply told you the truth, which you try to deny. You are the one who claims I am trying to tell you how to live your life. What I told you is the simple truth that we are all sinners and need to be born again. Yes that would change your life and if you want to interpret it as me telling you how to live your life, so be it. I don't deny that it would change your life. That is what God does for people. He gives them a new and better life and an eternal life.
