Good. So you believe in Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior then?

Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins personally and was raised from the dead?

That is true. Anything else you can add?

What do you believe about Jesus Christ? That is the bottom line. You haven't said yet today.

What do you believe about Jesus Christ?

I stated what I believe. You claim to be a Protestant. So tell us in your own words and stop hiding behind the Five Solas.

Nonsense! I already explained it all. Nobody is required to recite the Solas. I agree with them and stated the same kind of thing in my own words. Now tell us what you believe IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

Come on Dougie93, you're not making sense here.

Latin has nothing to do with Protestant beliefs or Christianity. Your claim is absurd. Latin was used by the Catholic church and in the Latin vulgate that only priests who were trained in Latin could understand. Protestants never used Latin. Where did you get that idea? My interpretations can be verified in any Protestant church confessions as being absolutely true. You are not making sense here. Check and Protestants statements of faith, Baptist, Reformed Presbyterian, etc.

I was stating the basic Christian beliefs. It is not a requirement to have the Five Solas at the top of one's mind. They are a good summary, but I stated the basic beliefs as well. Latin has nothing to do with it. Latin was used by the false Romanism church. Original Scriptures were not written in Latin. Only in the false church was Latin the language priests used and most people could not understand in the last thousand years.

Of course what I said is covered in the Five solas. I did not say the fifth one because I was not reciting the five solas to begin with. I told you I was simply stating the principles of the Reformation and stated I may have left something out. Now you can state what you believe.

What I stated is exactly what the five Solas state plus the Five Solas add a little more information. I told you I might not remember them all and was just going by memory. You must have looked the official statement up for the five Solas. I was just going entirely by memory. I actually expanded on the meaning a bit you will notice in one or two places. Nothing I said contradicts the Five solas.

Basic principles of the Reformation: 1. Salvation is by grace through faith alone (in Jesus Christ alone) and not of works. 2. That is faith in Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior. (believing that he is the Son of God, the third person of the Trinity, and therefore is God) 3. Belief that he was crucified, died, for the sins of the world and rose bodily from the dead the third day. 4. The Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and practice for the Christian. That is what comes to mind; there could be some other points I forget at the moment that may come to mind.

" The Bible knows no other gender categories besides male and female. While men and women in Scripture may express their masculinity and femininity in a wonderful diversity of ways, Scripture still operates with the binary categories of men and women. You are one or the other. The anomaly of intersex individuals does not undermine the creational design, but rather gives another example of creational “groaning” and the “not the way they are supposed to be” realities of a fallen world. Likewise, the eunuchs in Matthew 19 do not refer to sexless persons, but to men who were born without the ability to procreate or who were castrated, likely for a royal court (for more on the challenge of intersex, and the question of eunuchs, see Denny Burk, What Is the Meaning of Sex?, 169-183). The biblical understanding of male and female is more than just an assumption writ large on the pages of Scripture. We know from Genesis 1 and 2 that the categories of male and female are a part of God’s design for humanity. Indeed, when God created the first human pair in his image, he created them male and female (Gen. 1:27). He made the woman to be a complement and help to the man (Gen. 2:18-22). Far from being a mere cultural construct, God depicts the existence of a man and a woman as essential to his creational plan. The two are neither identical nor interchangeable. But when the woman, who was taken out of man, joins again with the man in sexual union, the two become one flesh (Gen. 1:23-24). Dividing the human race into two genders, male and female—one or the other, not both, and not one then the other—is not the invention of Victorian prudes or patriarchal oafs. It was God’s idea." What Does the Bible Say About Transgenderism? (thegospelcoalition.org) The western world is in great confusion right now. Many people have fallen for the woke, progressive agenda and believe all the nonsense.

You claim you are a Protestant but deny central beliefs. Therefore state your beliefs. Not being a Catholic, does not mean one is a Protestant automatically. One must have certain Biblical beliefs to be a Protestant. What Biblical beliefs do you have?

Since your beliefs do not meet the definition of Protestantism, prove it. Lots of words don't appear in the Bible, such as Trinity, but the Bible still teaches it. The word transgenderism is not in the Bible, but the idea of changing genders and multiple sexual orientations is very contrary to the Biblical understanding. The Bible is clear. There are only two genders, male and female. Biology demonstrates it is the way a person is born. It is not something that is changed on a feeling or whim or social construct. Probably because such a thing was unheard of in ancient times. Of course nobody should take it upon themselves to punish immoral behavior.

That's pluralism all right, see nothing, do nothing, say nothing. Anything goes. Also called liberalism or progressivism. No moral foundations means the fall of society. Anybody who questions anything is arrogant. That sounds pretty dictatorial in itself.

There are many authoritarian or Commie-minded people in Canada who think nobody has a right to their own organs and that the state should be able to do whatever they wish with anyone. That is why the Nova Scotia liberal government brought in a law that made everyone in the province an organ donor unless an individual registers to not be a donor. If you go into an ER someday in Nova Scotia, just be aware of this and if the bureaucracy conveniently loses your registration declining to be a donor, you may be harvested for your organs. If you are just visiting the province, and therefore not registered to not be a donor, I am not sure what could happen if you were in a car accident or suddenly went into a hospital for some reason, especially if you are unconscious.

This detailed article tells how organs are being harvested from people who are still alive in America (and likely Canada). Doctors are under tremendous pressure to get those organs from people and once the person dies, the organs may be dying as well. So according to this report, often people are not really dead when they begin taking their organs. Also the report says they are not given anaesthetic. There are serious law suits over what is going on. Organ Donors are Alive when their Organs are Harvested - Auricmedia - Blogman's Wonderland " The “organ donor” is forced to endure the excruciating painful and ongoing chemical treatment in preparation for organ excising. Literally the “donor” is now an organ warehouse and used for the sole purpose of organ preservation until a compatible recipient can be located. Donation after circulatory death (DCD) can be performed on neurologically intact donors who do not fulfill neurologic or brain death criteria before circulatory arrest. This commentary focuses on the most controversial donor-related issues anticipated from mandatory implementation of DCD for imminent or cardiac death in #hospitals across the USA. The truth of the horrific treatment and DEATH OF THE “DONOR” Organ removal is performed while the patient is given only a paralyzing agent but no anesthetic!"

Organs are often being harvested from people who are still alive. Organ Donors are Alive when their Organs are Harvested - Auricmedia - Blogman's Wonderland

No human being is the property of the state. There are websites that say some people have had their organs taken when they were not really dead. The definition of what is dead is disputed also, because some doctors want to take the organs as fast as possible. Some people have observed bodies react as if they were in great pain when an organ has been taken or attempted to be taken. So no thanks. I don't trust governments or people who are harvesting organs because they want to take them as quick as possible before they are really dead. They may in many cases be taking organs before people are really dead. They might be unconscious or semi-conscious and still feel pain. The heart might appear to have stopped also, but they could be still able to feel pain. But they can't talk or say because of their condition. Organ Donors are Alive when their Organs are Harvested - Auricmedia - Blogman's Wonderland A person's body is also the property of the relatives to do with it as the deceased wishes. Stop interfering with other people's rights like a Commie.

Calgary mayor knows she doesn't have the power to make such a bylaw and it would in unconstitutional. She is saying that just to try to scare away protesters. That might work.

A bylaw cannot stop people from legally protesting something. It would not be valid. Everyone has the right to protest under the Charter of Rights, Freedom of Speech and freedom of assembly.

No, they can't stop people protesting if it is done legally. Also city councils do not have the legal right to make criminals laws. They know that I'm sure. Even the federal government cannot make such a law because it would be contrary to the Charter of Rights. They are just creating propaganda. Protesting a private gathering of drag queens grooming kids is a Constitutional right under Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly. Nobody can outlaw protesting if the protesters are standing on public property like the sidewalk or street and waving signs. Protesters can't physically stop people from going into a library or meeting place.

What a joke! City councils do not have the power to make criminal law. Somebody should tell the mayor and council they don't know what they are doing and need to learn what their job is.
