Do you realize you are a fallen sinner? Where are you going when you pass away?

I tried to help you in a kind way but you reject all comments and are completely irrational. Had to put you on the ignore list so I don't have to see your trash.

The bottom line is if you love your neighbour, you will want them to know the truth. Often the truth is in conflict with what your neighbour believes or supports. Do you believe that? Do you think a person should just keep quiet about false religion in our midst? "Truth and lies are more than just words—they shape our relationships, our integrity, and our walk with God. We live in a time where truth is often distorted and lies can feel easier to tell. But the Bible remains a timeless source of clarity. Scripture speaks often about the importance of telling the truth, walking in honesty, and avoiding deceit." 35+ Powerful Bible Verses About Truth And Lies One thing you should know. We are all only human and we try to speak the truth in love. But the fact is some things that people hold dear are lies and falsehood and there is no simple, easy way to correct them than speaking the uncomfortable truth. Speaking in love is always preferable, but not always possible in the sense of how people receive the truth. People are conditioned often to oppose what someone else says and take it as an insult if it goes against their false belief system. That is why those who stand up for the truth are often the targets of persecution and insults. Truth is not a welcome commodity in society often. Christians have been tortured and killed by the millions over the centuries for standing up for the truth. Those are the martyrs. The following book called Foxe's Book of Martyrs will tell you the truth of the persecution of many martyrs down through history. quote CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. unquote Read it online easily here: FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS

One thing you have to admit, a convicted murderer who receives capital punishment, perhaps by MAID, will not kill anyone else again. You have to agree that will eliminate a serious threat to the public and reduce incarceration costs that could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years. Under the present soft-on-crime system in Canada, killers who receive "life sentences" are eligible for parole after a certain number of years. That means the victim's relatives have to go through the grief, stress, expense, and struggle of going to parole hearings to oppose the killer's release. How is that justice?

That all you got to say? You didn't answer the question, are you Catholic? Why not be honest and tell me where you're coming from? I told you my position. I am a Bible believer. That means I don't hate Catholics. So you are not being honest when you say I am "anti-Catholic"... What exactly does that accusation mean? I disagree with the Catholic belief system. How does that make me anti-Catholic? All you have to do is examine each belief in the Catechism against the Bible and you will find it is contrary to or not supported by the Bible. It is man-made. We need to be honest on here and not make dishonest allegations. Truth is important, not dishonesty.

You make it seem like I must give you psychiatric counselling. I would say Carney is sectarian. All that means is he has a religion. So do I. What about yourself? Do you have any religious beliefs? Just a matter of interest. I already explained above to herbie why I don't agree with the Catholic religion. How do you figure that makes me anti-Catholic? You seem to be twisting things. Perhaps you are Catholic and think nobody should ever disagree with the religion. Is that true? We have some people on here like herbie who do not appear to be religious at all. Maybe more irreligious and poke fun at people who are religious. But strangely enough, when I say anything against Catholicism, they get their back up, at least herbie does. Kind of hypocritical, don't you think. He makes asinine comments about my beliefs, but whines when I say anything about Catholicism. All I can say is don't set your hair on fire because of somebody's comments about a religion. It won't do your health any good.

I think I have spent enough time trying to help you. Carry on.

That's not how Scripture is understood by anyone. You are completely alone in that thinking.

Wow! You need to read Exodus and Leviticus. The Scriptures say repeatedly in countless verses in Exodus and Leviticus "And the Lord spake unto Moses ...." or such wording. Moses was the leader of the Israel and God used Moses to bring them out of Egypt into the promised land although they never entered the actual promised land until after Moses' death. But it repeatedly says how the Lord spake to Moses. You have to read it yourself. I can point out a few places to start with. "1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea." Exodus 14:1 KJV "15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea." Exodus 14:15 KJV " 26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. " Exodus 14:26 KJV "22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. {Marah: that is Bitterness} 24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. " Exodus 15:22-27 KJV So you see in these two chapters how the Lord spoke to Moses and protected the people as Moses led them out of captivity toward the promised land. You scan through these chapters and see often in the beginning of a chapter. Sometimes there is a verse or two in the middle of a chapter, sometimes at the beginning of a chapter. "10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. {trumpet: or, cornet} 14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives." Exodus 19:10-15 KJV Also it says in the New Testament "16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: " 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV That includes the whole Bible, all Scripture. Hope that helps.

You are trying again to imply I hate Catholics which I don't. I have had Catholic friends. I simply disagree with the over one hundred false teachings which have been invented the last 1,500 years. You can't worship Mary and saints and pretend you are worshiping the God of the Bible. God has no "mother" in the Bible. I disagree with the false teachings but do not disrespect anyone. Disagreeing with a belief system is not hating or disrespecting anyone. The word disrespect has no place in a discussion about beliefs. Nobody has to agree with a false religion. Do you disrespect Islam and Buddhism? So why do you think I should bow down to Romanism? Carney is a devout Catholic and held prominent positions in the Vatican, WEF and other globalist organizations. So of course he is going to be influenced by his globalist friends. Liberals sent 12.3 billion dollars to various other countries around the world in the 2023/2024 fiscal year. That is what the Pope would say he should do. The Pope is the final authority in that religion.

" To prove that the Bible came from God, several key points can be considered: Inspiration: Second Timothy 3:16 states, "All Scripture is inspired by God," affirming that the Bible's ultimate Author is Jehovah, guiding human writers to record His message. Unity and Prophecy: The Bible's unity across various authors and languages, along with its detailed prophecies, indicates divine origin and purpose. Self-Authenticating: The Bible claims to be God's communication, and its authority is believed to be self-authenticating, requiring no additional proof. Historical Context: The Bible's composition spans over 1,600 years, reflecting God's dealings with humanity and His plan for restoration. Personal Belief: Many individuals believe the King James Version (KJV) is the preserved and infallible word of God, supported by various reasons and personal testimonies. These points collectively support the belief that the Bible is the Word of God, reflecting divine inspiration and purpose. 4 Sources

If you don't accept the whole Bible as from God, you are totally mixed up. Go talk to someone who knows the Bible and believes it. You can't discuss anything without believing the Bible as from God.

PP is correct in his comments because remember we still have many of the same old Liberal gang in cabinet that we had under Trudeau. Same ol same ol. So PP's comments simply point out the fact of how corrupt the Liberal Party was and is. It seems the RCMP was reluctant to do anything under Trudeau. Maybe Trudeau had the power to fire the RCMP commissioner; I don't know. That might affect how they operate. Do you think things are going to be any different now? We will see. Not much has changed. A new Liberal leader who seems to hold to the same globalist agenda. Carney is a committed globalist who doesn't appear willing to change the Liberal agenda much to make Canada an energy superpower. I am not sure he is going to approve an oil pipeline to the B.C. coast and he is the one who holds the power to do something. The High Commissioner of India just said Canada is not yet a reliable energy superpower. That's a big problem. The bottom line is it is the opposition's job to criticize the government and that's all PP does.

You are ignoring the truth to satisfy your own agenda.

Because generally the world has been anti-semitic for most of 2,000 years. The world could care less about Israel's survival.

" Jesus affirmed the authority of the Old Testament as Holy Scripture in several ways: He often cited the Old Testament during His ministry, demonstrating His knowledge and approval of its teachings. In Matthew 5:17, Jesus stated, "I have not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them," indicating that He came to fulfill the Old Testament. Jesus emphasized that the Old Testament Scriptures are God-breathed and have authority, as seen in John 10:30, where He quoted Deuteronomy 8:3, affirming the Old Testament's relevance to His teachings. These statements reflect Jesus' belief in the Old Testament as a source of divine revelation and guidance. 3 Sources

Jesus quoted many verses in the Old Testament. Did you read them? Of course he knew it was Holy Scripture.

Yep, they are given freedom to blow billions of dollars of taxpayer money around the world.

Thanks for that information. Also, the history of the Trudeau years shows they spent millions of dollars on consultants of questionable value. But the citizens seem to be in a powerless position to stop it. I don't think we knew about it until after the fact anyway. Just another way they wasted vast amounts of taxpayer money. They spent like drunken sailors and nobody is held accountable.

That doesn't prove anything. There could be other reasons why the murder rates are higher in some states than others. You know well that the murder rates are higher in some cities than others. Capital punishment could act as a deterrent in some cases. That is just common sense. Secondly, if a murderer receives capital punishment, one thing is sure....he is not going to do it again. That is very important because dangerous offenders have been let out early on parole and murdered other people.

That is pure BS. You are deliberately confusing the job of Prime Minister with the job of the leader of the opposition. In our parliamentary system the job of the Prime Minister and his cabinet is to produce budgets and govern all the departments and lead the country as required. The job of the opposition leader is to expose and criticize the faulty way government operates. It's as simple as that. The opposition is not the government and does not have power of the government. The business of the opposition is to oppose the government when necessary. That is all the conservative leader is doing. You are making up a pile of BS.

socialism definition: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. In other words government owns or controls everything. That is socialism. Some governments own or control part of society and you would then say that is partly socialism. That is what we have here. If a government does not own or control the means of production in society, it would not be socialist by definition of the word. Canada is a mixture. Public services which are owned and controlled by the government would fit the definition of socialism. So public health care is socialist. Car insurance run by a crown corporation could be viewed as socialist in a way when government does not allow private car insurance.

‘Absolutely done’: Fires, street disorder push downtown Prince George businesses to breaking point Yes, street crime is out of control and it's all the Liberals fault.

The federal government spent 12.3 billion dollars on various forms of foreign aid in 2023-2024. Half of that is spent by Global Affairs. Yet there are many urgent needs in Canada that are not being met. It's all taxpayer money. Liberals believe taxpayers should be funding the problems of the rest of world. Carney, as a committed globalist, is a strong proponent of that. They are out of touch with Canadians.
