An unelected premier - an unelected cabinet?: Jim Prentice and the Westminster Wiggle "The years was 1941, and Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King had a problem. Canada was at war, and King needed a strong, unified wartime cabinet to lead a strong, unified country through a time of crisis. The issue of conscription was hugely divisive, and King needed a respected Quebec lieutenant, willing to handle the conscription question. With no one in his cabinet willing or able to meet the task, King took a bold step: he appointed a respected, but unelected, lawyer, Louis St. Laurent, as his minister of justice. St. Laurent held the post, unelected and outside the House of Commons for three months, until he won an eventual by-election." An unelected premier - an unelected cabinet?: Jim Prentice and the Westminster Wiggle | Edmonton Journal So could Trudeau appoint somebody like Mark Carney to cabinet even if he is not yet elected? Yes, of course he could. It has been done in the past.

"The function of government is to restrain evil and to maintain, uphold, and protect the sanctity of life and of property. What Is a Christian’s Responsibility to Government? (ligonier.org) The purpose of government is not to intervene in everyone's life and business or to micro-manage everyone's life. The purpose of government should also be to protect individual freedoms, not deny them and set up a Socialist system. Socialism is stealing and a denial of freedom.

No, I never said they had to be "WASPs". Those are your words. A Bible believer can be any nationality or colour. Doesn't have to be white. I already explained, I prefer a Bible-believing Christian. If they are hard-working for Socialism, Communism, Hinduism, liberalism, progressivism, political Islam, environmental radicalism, or some other ideology, of course I wouldn't vote for them. I don't believe they would be good for the country.

You made your choice to reject God's written revelation, the Bible. I explained that is because you worship the false god of liberalism and secular humanism. You stated in effect you are not willing to change. That is your choice. Be prepared to accept the consequences in this life and the next.

Whether I am for or against them depends entirely on what their beliefs are. I don't see any other way to determine whether to support someone or not. I don't think term limits are necessary if the MP is a good one. It would be preferable to elect MPs and MLAs who are Bible believers and have a Biblical - Christian world view. I think we would have a better country by far.

You avoided the subject completely. You said "I would point out that "unrighteous" is a plainly subjective word so you have to go back to the law, ultimately, to settle it." What does this mean? I did speak to your statement which I quoted here. You said "unrighteous" is a plainly subjective word. I explained why it is not a subjective word. You did not read what i said. You never explained what you meant by "law" either.

I assume when you say law, you are referring to legislation in the law books that was passed by government. If not, you should say what you mean by "law". The basics of society are built on several thousand years of Judeo-Christian beliefs, and ultimately these are rooted in the Bible. Nothing subjective about the ten commandments. Just a few commandments should tell you that. though shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not covet, etc. If you think everything must be "subjective", that is called naturalism, paganism, heathenism, or secular humanism. It has no foundation. The only foundation in existence is God's revelation, the Holy Scriptures. In English, that is the King James Bible (1611). Subjectivism is a curse and a recipe for a decadent society. Liberalism is subjectivism and is therefore a deceptive ideology. It leads nowhere except downward for society. When you say you have to go back to the law (man-made law) to settle things, you are showing you don't understand what this is about. Man's laws should be built on God's law and written revelation, not on subjective humanism, which is changeable at whim. You being a Romanist is why you don't understand how society and government should work. Your god appears to be liberalism, which is an idol and a false god. That is the root of your problem. Romanism does not consider the Holy Scriptures as the infallible and final authority. Romanism believes man is his own authority. That is why Roman Catholic doctrine is built on church councils, popes, and the beliefs of men, not on God's written revelation. That is what makes it a false religion. So you see how religion is directly connected with government, laws, and life. The man-made laws are not a guide on what new laws are needed and interpretation of right and wrong should be for elected representatives. How laws are working can be studied to determine how new laws should be written to improve them, or how old laws should be replaced or removed, but the guide for how it is all done must come from God's written revelation. Laws cannot be written based on other laws unless the laws themselves are based on what God has said. Then they could be a guide. Otherwise, they are not a guide. We are subject to the laws to maintain law and order, not to write new laws.

It is the worst sexual abuse report in Canada's history and deserves to be considered. There were hundreds of victims over decades and it was ignored by authorities. No, I don't hate Catholics. I had Catholic friends. I disagree with the religion because it is a false religion. It is contrary to the Bible. We know the Devil doesn't want anybody to know that fact. Unfortunately you don't know he has you wrapped around his finger. Reverend Ian Paisley cared about Catholics too. I don't believe he hated them. He just knew they were deceived by the system. He preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the only one who can save your soul. Rev. Paisley preached the gospel and was the moderator of the Free Presbyterian churches. He was a man of God. We know the Devil wants to turn people away from listening to Bible believers who stand against false religion and defend the truth from the Bible. Listening to the Devil will lead to hell.

Since we do have one of the largest and longest coasts in the world, it would make sense to have a half-way decent navy. But we also desperately need a strong military or army and air force with the aircraft and equipment needed.

You seem to be denying that unrighteous behavior, practices, and ideology is rampant in the laws and life of Canada. Do I need to give you a few examples to prove it? Same sex marriage, killing of unborn babies, doctor-assisted suicide, soft on crime justice system, continuous release of dangerous offenders who go out to murder people to name a few.

No. Public nudity is contrary go God's ordained way that man should be. It is rebellion against God and his word.

I am not so sure about that. NATO is committed to the defence of the Ukraine. As long as NATO sticks to its promises to defend the Ukraine and increases more defensive aid, it may not be worthwhile for Russia to keep the war going indefinitely. At some point, there will have to be a solution found that will satisfy both sides, even if reluctantly.

Give me one example of something conflicting or contrary I said. Nope. I only commented on your comments. I can't read thoughts. Go ahead and call me names, but you are not doing yourself any favours. I try to restrain myself from throwing dirt back to you. You can't give any detailed explanation as to why you think I am a hypocrite; If you have something, why don't you give the details and we will see? Your claim is obviously false. I have observed your back and forth nonsense with other posters and it is obvious what you like to do.

I know anything I say you are programmed to automatically reject it, but what I have told you and others is the truth about the Bible and salvation. You reject it at your own peril. You don't seem to understand the basis of true or Biblical Christianity is what the Bible teaches, not what men have invented. Romanism is easily shown to be the inventions of men. I quoted a good article to show you that. The article shows what is wrong with Romanism. It can't save you. It is your choice. As the Bible says God has chosen the foolish things to confound the wise. The wisdom of the world is foolishness with God. You need to reconsider. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It is the broad road. The narrow road is the way to heaven. The broad road is the way of Romanism. Get baptized, go to confession once in a blue moon, claim to be a Romanist and claim to accept their teachings (which have nothing to do with the Bible), and you think you will be safe. You are fooling yourself. The Bible which is inspired by God is the only truth on God and supernatural matters or eternal life. There is no other truth. Salvation is by the way God says in the Bible, not according to Rome. You still have time. Don't waste it with foolish arguments and insults that will get you nowhere.

"It is evident from Mein Kampf and Hitler's speeches that he viewed racial conflict as the determining factor in all of human history. "The racial question gives the key not only to world history, but to all human culture."2 Race was not simply a political issue to be used to curry the favor of the masses, but the "granite foundation"3 of Hitler's ideology." This is the conclusion from Hitler's Mein Kampf and Hitler's speeches.

"Hitler believed that the Aryan race, to which all "true" Germans belonged, was the race whose blood (soul) was of the highest degree. God Himself had, in fact, created the Aryans as the most perfect men, both physically and spiritually.4"

In effect, yes. "Hitler's racial ideology stemmed from what he called "the basic principle of the blood." This meant that the blood of every person and every race contained the soul of a person and likewise the soul of his race, the Volk. Hitler believed that the Aryan race, to which all "true" Germans belonged, was the race whose blood (soul) was of the highest degree. God Himself had, in fact, created the Aryans as the most perfect men, both physically and spiritually.4"

The subject of the Nazi belief in the superiority of the Aryan race is quite involved Doug. Check this out: Hitler's Racial Ideology: Content and Occult Sources by Jackson Spielvogel and David Redles You can read the full article here: Annual 3 Chapter 9 (museumoftolerance.com)

Wow, do you live in a dream world or not? quote Hitler's Racial Ideology: Content and Occult Sources by Jackson Spielvogel and David Redles In a 1931 interview with a Leipzig newspaper editor, Adolf Hitler made a passionate declaration of the true significance of his National Socialist movement: The Frenchman Gobineau and the Englishman Chamberlain were inspired by our concept of a new order-a new order, I tell you, or if you prefer, an ideological glimpse into history in accordance with the basic principle of the blood. We do not judge by merely artistic or military standards or even by purely scientific ones. We judge by the spiritual energy which a people is capable of putting forth, which will enable it in ten years to recapture what it has lost in a thousand years of warfare. I intend to set up a thousand year Reich and anyone who supports me in battle is a fellow-fighter for a unique spiritual-I would almost say divine-creation. At the decisive moment the decisive factor is not the ratio of strength but the spiritual force employed. Betrayal of the nation is possible even when no crime has been committed, in other words when a historical mission has not been fulfilled.1 This statement by Hitler gives rise to several intriguing questions. What was the "basic principle of the blood" which inspired Hitler's "new order"? What did he mean by the "spiritual energy" of the people and how was it connected to their blood? Why did Hitler envision his movement as generating a "spiritual" and even "divine creation" that would fulfill a "historic mission"? What was the relationship between "the basic principle of the blood" and Hitler's fanatical hatred of Jews? And finally, what were the sources of these ideas, assuming of course that Hitler was influenced by the philosophies of others? Is it possible that occult or esoteric racial philosophy may, in fact, have been one of the major sources for Hitler's racial ideology? In this paper we shall attempt to provide some answers to these questions. It is evident from Mein Kampf and Hitler's speeches that he viewed racial conflict as the determining factor in all of human history. "The racial question gives the key not only to world history, but to all human culture."2 Race was not simply a political issue to be used to curry the favor of the masses, but the "granite foundation"3 of Hitler's ideology. Hitler's racial ideology stemmed from what he called "the basic principle of the blood." This meant that the blood of every person and every race contained the soul of a person and likewise the soul of his race, the Volk. Hitler believed that the Aryan race, to which all "true" Germans belonged, was the race whose blood (soul) was of the highest degree. God Himself had, in fact, created the Aryans as the most perfect men, both physically and spiritually.4 Since the blood (soul) of the Aryans contained specific spiritual energies, the "cultural energies" or "racial primal elements,"5 as Hitler often called them, the Aryans supplied the culture that creates the beauty and dignity of higher humanity. In other words, all that man calls higher culture was ultimately the product of the spiritual and creative energies that exist in the blood of the Aryans.

According to you that would make Jesus a narrow minded bible thumper because he quoted the Bible which was the Old Testament at that time. So I am in good company. Praise God. Hallelujah!

Anybody who doesn't believe or know the Nazis believed they were a superior race is in complete ignorance and uneducated. I could waste time and show you references that would demonstrate it. Racial superiority especially over the Jews was a major part of the why the Holocaust. If you want some proof, check the history of a man called Gerhard Kittel. His writings penned between 1937 and 1943 caused the physical death of millions of Jews and spiritual death of untold others. Kittel was the chief architect of the so-called "racial science" and "Christian base" for Hitler's anti-Semitism. He established a Christian foundation for the opposition to the Jews. He called himself "the first authority in Germany in the scientific consideration of the Jewish question. unquote from the book New Age Bible Versions by G. Riplinger.

Sadly for you, you reject the Bible and call people who quote it "Bible Thumpers". That's ok. I am pleased to be called one and take ir as a complement. It just confirms I am on the right track. "20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. " Isaiah 8:20 Your rejection of Bible thumping only proves you have no idea what the Bible or Christianity is all about. This verse proves it. You do not speak according to this word (the Bible) and therefore it says there is no light in you. Hiding behind a false religion (Romanism)will not save you. You need to understand that.

Of course they did. The Nazis believed their Aryan race was superior. This information if widespread. What are you talking about? quote The Nazi Party of Germany adopted and developed several pseudoscientific racial classifications as part of its ideology (Nazism) in order to justify the genocide of groups of people which it deemed racially inferior. The Nazis considered the putative "Aryan race" a superior "master race", and they considered Jews, mixed-race people, Slavs (specifically groups such as Poles or Russians), Romani, Africans, and certain other ethnicities racially inferior "sub-humans", whose members were only suitable for slave labor and extermination. These beliefs stemmed from a mixture of historical race concepts, 19th-century anthropology, scientific racism, and anti-Semitism, especially racial anti-Semitism. The term "Aryan" generally originated during the discourses about the use of the term Volk (the people constitute a lineage group whose members share a territory, a language, and a culture).[1] unquote Nazi racial theories - Wikipedia

It's not "old news". It took fifty years or more for a ruling to pay 104 million and the victims have still not been paid. It is an ongoing struggle for the abuse victims. Funny how you are trying to downplay the news about the largest sexual abuse fiasco in Canadian history. Even though you spent a lot of time fighting against the Bible and Christianity on the forum, if you think the RC church is being exposed for sexual abuse, you get on your high horse and suddenly become religious. You must be a closet Roman Catholic. Now you feel you must "come out of the closet" and defend the Catholic church. Kind of ironic after your history of opposing me talking about religion or the Bible, don't you think. Afraid you don't know a thing about the history of Christianity and how it started or how the Roman church started. There was no Pope or Catholic church as we know it in the early centuries. Christianity was not even legal in the Roman Empire until Constantine allegedly had a spiritual experience and legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire in 313 A.D. It was some time after that before the first Popes were established. It was over many centuries that the Roman church invented the long list of its many unbiblical beliefs. However, the main point of this OP was about the sexual abuse and subsequent cover ups that took place in the past sixty years and what is happening with it now. But we know you like to try to create a diversion and a phony excuse to try to downplay the subject on here. Being opposed to Romanism does not mean the Mt. Cashel abuse disaster should not be discussed on here. I think I know far more about Romanism and what has been going on in the world than you will ever know. But since you raised the subject of Christianity itself, here is some truth for you: "The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation. The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16,18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10,13; Ephesians 2:8-9). The Roman Catholic Church rejects this. The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc., etc. Catholic divergence from the Bible on this most crucial of issues, salvation, means that yes, Catholicism is a false religion. If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus’ death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation."
