There's no worthy distinction here. Islam is nothing beyond what the people who follow the faith make of it, which is the same as any major religion, including Christianity. What the books say is secondary to what the people who follow the faith believe it says, or is meant to say, because that's all that ultimately matters. Both faiths have sublimely stupid passages in their Holy texts that only the blindest and least thoughtful among the faithful would accept as anything but archaic allegory. 5 hours ago, I am Groot said: Finally, I'd like to note the irony of someone who castigates me for not speaking from logic and reason yet produces dishonest emotional twaddle such as you wrote above. Yet in your attempt to clarify what you figured was "dishonesty" on my part, you did nothing but reinforce and highlight the foolishness and ignorance for which I was criticizing you. You may not like that I did that, but there was nothing "emotional" or "dishonest" about it. That's just you projecting again.

Canada was founded on Judeo-Christian civilization originating in Europe. While there are many who have apostate or many false ideas, there were also people who held biblical beliefs down through history. Many principles came with the European settlers such as the dignity and worth of the individual and gradually resulted in enshrining concepts of human rights, democracy, religious freedom, and the western ideas of the rule of law applied equally to both genders, as well as the equality of the sexes. This is not the case in many third world countries. Unfortunately, these Judeo-Christian principles do not exist in many parts of the third world such as Asia, Africa, the middle east, central America. These are areas where today Christians are heavily persecuted and killed for their faith. Yet many European settlers who started Canada brought with them beliefs in freedoms and human rights for the individual. But here we are today having multiculturalism forced on us which results in bringing millions of people in from the third world who do not share the same belief systems where they came from. If anyone thinks this is not having a negative impact they should think again. Many of them simply do not understand these historic Judeo-Christian beliefs or why the original settlers held them. Many immigrants are quite willing to vote for Marxist or Socialist type governments, (NDP and left leaning liberals) and embrace secular humanist ideas that are contrary to Judeo-Christian beliefs. Some of them don't even understand our Constitutional Monarchy and want to get rid of it. What would they replace it with? A dictatorship such as where they came from in Africa, the middle east, or Asia? So yes, multiculturalism does have a negative influence on society in Canada. Tell us you're a racist POS without saying you're a racist POS. If we let Africans in the country they'll vote in a dictator!!!!!111!!!!1! There should be no pre-requisite that new Canadians abide by Judeo-Christian standards. Separation of Church and State is Important. Many immigrants have far closer cultural family ties and love of their brethren than any Caker multi-generation Canadian could hope to have. We are a country of laws. The slippery slope ramblings that if we let too many immigrants in they'll change our laws is racist hysteria. We've been debating the red herring of Sharia Law for 20 years. It's just a Racist talking point. Some in Canada may come here thinking they can subjugate their kin. But those people would also be breaking the laws of the land. And they're also the outliers.

But Christian principles existed in Europe which do not exist in the middle east, Asia, Africa, latin America to any extent. Everything is not black and white. There are some relatively small numbers of Christians in those heathen parts of world but they are heavily persecuted by the majority. In spite of the wars in Europe, democracy and human rights exist in Europe and the west far more than the third world. The UK and west abolished slavery two hundred years ago. There are no human rights or respect for the individual in much of the third world, including Russia and China. Canada is heading toward becoming a more heathen nation and is one to a large extent now. That means less civility, less respect for the traditional family structure, more crime, more Socialism, continued failing health care system, increased taxation, more government authoritarianism, and more rebellion against parents and authority. Generally a more corrupt society is what we are seeing. 2 Quote

"Legislation in the 1960s and 1970s laid the groundwork for the immigration regime Canada has today, which embraces multiculturalism. In 1967, Ottawa introduced a points-based system for evaluating applicants, after which Canada saw a jump in immigration from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America. A 1971 policy first articulated the government’s support for cultural diversity, and legislation in 1976 explicitly codified Canada’s commitment to refugees, mandated federal and provincial officials develop immigration targets together, and cast immigration as a tool for meeting the country’s cultural, economic, and social objectives." What Is Canada’s Immigration Policy? | Council on Foreign Relations (cfr.org) So even Canada has a way of choosing immigrants, even if it is the wrong policy and the opposite of what I believe. You say the third world has a right to come into Canada shows you do not understand that. In spite of what liberals and left think, Canada does not belong to the rest of the world. Every country has a sovereign right to determine who it lets in for their best interests. Global Communists such as the U.N. don't accept that and want Canada to accept the rest of the world's immigrants. If you descended from the third world and are not a Christian, then of course you would oppose what I say. That is logical. The best solution is for you to study the Bible, particularly the New Testament. The world in general is a corrupt, fallen place and the only solution is an individual solution, i.e. to believe the Bible and be born again. Apart from that there is no salvation. Different racial and cultural backgrounds do not unite people except in evil Socialist systems which is Communist in the sense of being anti-God and communal. China is a good example where the state, meaning Communist Party is above everything else. Individuals rights are sacrificed for the Communist system or communal system ( in reality the Communist Party and it's leaders). I don't care much for what the Conservative Party believes.

blackbird Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Posted September 27, 2022 12 minutes ago, herbie said: What perverted form of warped religion says Catholics are not Christians? The question is not whether any particular person is a Christian or not. That is God's business. The correct question is: is a particular church or denomination Biblical or Christian? We have to know the answer to that in order to know which church to support or attend. quote The issue concerning any church and its practices should be “Is this biblical?” If a teaching is Biblical (taken in context), it should be embraced. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church is doing His will and obeying His Word than whether it can trace a line of succession back to Jesus’ apostles. Jesus was very concerned about abandoning the Word of God to follow the traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently invalid…there are some good and valuable traditions. Again, the issue must be whether a doctrine, practice, or tradition is Biblical. How then does the Roman Catholic Church compare with the teachings of the Word of God? Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15). Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation cannot be guaranteed or assured. 1 John 5:13 states that the letter of 1 John was written for the purpose of assuring believers of the CERTAINTY of their salvation. Good Works: The Roman Catholic Church states that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism) and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confession of sin to a priest, etc.) The Bible states that Christians are saved by grace through faith, totally apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24). Baptism: In the New Testament baptism is ALWAYS practiced AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the means of salvation; it is faith in the Gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches baptismal regeneration of infants, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible hint of infant baptism in the Bible that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the whole household of the Philippian jailer was baptized in Acts 16:33. However, the context nowhere mentions infants. Acts 16:31 declares that salvation is by faith. Paul spoke to all of the household in verse 32, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not of infants. Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics to not only pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, we are taught in Scripture to only pray to God (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7). Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between the clergy and the “lay people,” whereas the New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9). Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is infused with grace upon reception of the sacraments. Such teaching is nowhere found in Scripture. Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless a believer is hindered, the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is by confessing them to a priest. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9). Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, a perpetual virgin, and the co-redemptress who ascended into heaven. In Scripture, she is portrayed as an obedient, believing servant of God, who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have any basis in the Bible. The idea of Mary being the co-redemptress and another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only redeemer. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men. Many other examples could be given. These issues alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as being unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on Scripture. That is why Scripture must be the standard of Christian faith and practice. The Word of God is always true and reliable. The same cannot be said of church tradition. Our guideline is to be: “What does Scripture say?” (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:11). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” unquote Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical? | GotQuestions.org Quote
