She was not acting politically correct.

If you know a particular doctor in the clinic is gay, is it racist to bigoted to request a different doctor if there are more than one?

Never said she was. Maybe she was. Does she have to tell her history?

I went to a specialist 25 years ago, who happened to be a black doctor from Africa who was very difficult to understand. He treated me like s__t and it was the worst experience I ever had with a doctor in my life. I never went back to him and chose to drive 400 km and stay overnight in another city to see another specialist instead after that. I don't think the problem had anything to do with his skin colour, but it was his incredibly shocking attitude. Nobody deserves to be treated like that by a doctor.

According to bible experts the earth was created about six thousand years ago. So where were the aboriginals 14,000 years ago? Native rights activists will cling to the 14,000 year story because it means they have far greater claim to the land than relative newcomers whose ancestors came here a few hundred years ago at most.

The poor Governor General slipped up and mis-spoke a politically incorrect line. It didn't fit with the first nations and lefty narrative so he had to apologize and speak the correct phrases.

Yep, and the mayors in that area are opposed to the Energy East pipeline project. Appears they are dumb in more ways than one. Encouraging illegal migrants to come to Montreal is about as irresponsible as people can get.

The children of Israel clearly in Deuteronomy were God's chosen people. "For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." Deuteronomy Ch7 vs6 KJV (1611). Abraham was the father of the Jews and the Arabs. King David was a descendant of Abraham. Jesus was a descendant of King David through Mary his mother and is therefore a rightful king of Israel. Jesus was a Jew and a descendant of Abraham. The holy scriptures were written by Jews. Learning parts of the bible takes time and patient study. It is not always like picking up a newspaper and just reading something.

You err in equating God with a tin-pot dictator. There is no similarity or analogy. God is our Creator, who keeps us alive by his power. All things were created by him and for him. As the Bible says, in him we live and have our being. The Bible teaches all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There is no peace possible between God and man without becoming a son or child of God by faith in Jesus Christ. You might think one who is living a moral, peaceful, and law abiding existence should be able to just carry on and be accepted by God. That's not what the Bible teaches us. I would suggest reading the first few chapters of Paul's epistle to the Romans and the gospel of St. John. The Bible says faith comes through the Bible and without faith it is impossible to please God. see Hebrews ch11. Until one is born again by faith in Jesus, he is at enmity with God. There is a wall or barrier between that person and God no matter how moral, peaceful, and law-abiding he might be. The bible says nobody is accepted on his own merit or goodness, because our best righteousness falls far short and cannot atone for our sin. When one believes in Jesus (that he died for one's sins personally and rose from the dead), then he becomes that person's mediator (or savior) between God and man. That is the only way the separation between a person and God can be eliminated.

I have to interject a comment. The Bible records supernatural events, which did in fact occur. If you take the supernatural out of the Bible, you lose the whole meaning because it is a supernatural book about supernatural events. You accept it by faith. That's what pleases God. The account of Genesis did occur exactly as it says. Noah's flood occurred exactly as it said. These are not myths and are meant to be taken literally even if we can't explain them in scientific terms. God is able to perform every supernatural event in the Bible. Those that come to God must believe by faith. see Hebrews ch11.

I have to say the Bible gives an account of how God created the earth and universe in a very short period of six days. This was how the Bible begins, but only takes up a few pages. The rest of the Bible has a huge amount of information about how God dealt with Israel (first few books of the Bible - Pentateuch), Psalms and Proverbs, God's dealings with Israel and prophecies. The New Testament gives the four gospels of Jesus Christ and several apostles give their account of the teachings of the christian religion. Ending with Revelation which has a lot of prophecy of the future. A central theme may be described in this verse for example: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs ch3 vs5 Another verse I can't put my finger on says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (or wisdom). People who set themselves in opposition to God and His word are definitely on the wrong path and need to reconsider while there is still time. The way to do that is through prayerful study of the Bible.

The climate has always been changing. Nothing new there. But if you believe in man-made climate change and the doom and gloom, you've been had by the globalists who have there own agenda. The climate change business is a huge business with thousands of people making money on it. Over a trillion dollars a year involved, some say several trillion. There are biblical prophecies that forecast the future thousands of years ago and nothing is mentioned about climate change. If it was important, one would think it would have been mentioned, don't you think? There may be an Armageddon in the future and other things.

There are countless articles on that. Basically it comes down to the fact the KJV 1611 is the only version based on the received text for the New Testament. The modern versions are generally based on two corrupt manuscripts called Sinaticus (which was found in a waste paper basket in a monastery in the Sinai in late 1800s. The Vaticanus was discovered or retrieved from the Vatican library I believe. Two heretical churchman in around 1880 used these corrupt manuscripts to produce either a new New Testament or a new Greek Text to produce the English Standard Version. Generally modern versions translators believe these corrupt manuscripts to be more accurate than the received text. The received text is the collection of Greek New Testament manuscripts believed to be handed down through ages and used for the KJV completed in 1611. The modern versions do not follow the received text. The received text was a collection of Greek manuscripts which scholars brought to western Europe when the Muslims conquered the Byzantine empire. Since the original (which no longer exist) manuscripts for the N.T. were written in Greek, it is believe these Byzantine manuscripts are accurate. The Trinitarian Bible Society website may have some articles on this. Also google the two churchmen Westcott and Hort and find critques on them. The argument for the two corrupt manuscripts is that they are of a little older date than extant manuscripts. However, they disagree with the received text in thousands of places. Age does not necessarily prove anything because they could have been rejected by scholars in the early centuries but left in storage someplace. http://graceway.com/articles/article_025.html https://www.scribd.com/document/144266295/Jesus-Is-Savior-Westcott-and-Hort-Exposed

There is some question as to whether the invasion of Iraq caused ISIS. There have always been two different sects of Islam, the Sunnis and the Sheites. The radical version of Sunnis decided they wanted a caliphate and got support from many Islamic radicals. They are not content living in peace with other non-violent Muslims. They have been blowing up Muslims in Iraq, not Americans. They oppose anyone who does not believe their extreme version of Islam. That is the real reason for their existence, not Americans in Iraq.

That's one reason I don't believe in socialism, which requires big government and big bureaucracy to function. Governments waste millions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money. I don't trust them with my money.

Just found an interesting video on Netflix if you have it. "Is Genesis History" goes into it with creation scientists. Explains a lot of things. There are two schools of thought, or two paradigms. One is the old earth paradigm and the other is the Genesis paradigm. It seems to boil down to the uniformitarian principle which is used to support the old earth theory. The catastrophism paradigm explains the young earth paradigm. The video looks at the Grand Canyon which is explained as a result of Noah's flood. A very sudden deposition of layers including fossils. They also interviewed a Hebraist, a specialist on the Hebrew language and Genesis. He said it is written in a way not to be interpreted as anything other than literal, that God created the universe in six days.

Somebody has to be the chief. Yes, the chief needs to be able to remove those who might undermine the executive of government or those who he does not have confidence in.

He's probably correct. The military in Egypt probably thought that too.

Probably both reasons.

The question is should she be treated as some kind of terrorist or how long should she be locked up?

The debate about the science involved in creation appears to be complex and who is to know. I would investigate the inspiration and truth of the Bible (KJV 1611). That should be a higher priority. It is interesting of course to read the articles about creation but it might not resolve the question one way or another in the end in one's mind. The truth of scripture is of extreme importance because it determines one's future for eternity. That puts things in perspective.

The CBC is running a story about illegal or undocumented immigrants in the states and how hard it is for them now being deported. They interviewed a couple of Trump supporters to see what they think. One of them said if the U.S. doesn't deal with it, it will only get worse and more will keep pouring in illegally. Reminded of how the Liberals could care less about illegals crossing the border into Canada even though some of them might be criminals trying to escape deportation from the U.S. I think the word got out that Trudeau welcomes them to Canada. But he apparently is not providing any funding in B.C. to help take care of them when they get here. It might not be good as they were led to believe. This may come as a surprise to a lot of them. They may end up sleeping on the streets in downtown and panhandling.

I was taught, but I can't recall if someone told me that God created everything or if I first read it in Genesis. In any case, because it is clear in the Bible, I accept. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:35 I am satisfied the account in Genesis is God's word to be taken literally. The very first verse in the Bible says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1 KJV (1611)
