I am Groot Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Geoff Russ speaks baldly about the hypocrisy of the Canadian Left now pretending to be patriots. The Canadian left should sit this one out. After doing their utmost to undermine Canadian citizenship, culture and pride in our history, they do not deserve to even try and take up the mantle of patriotism. The memory of 1812 involves the Crown and the ideals of loyalism and martial valour, none of which are upheld, cherished or practised by the Liberal party and the broader progressive movement. Even Remembrance Day, the one day that the Canadian military and its traditions are not assaulted with DEI initiatives and ritual humiliation, has become a controversial topic on the Canadian left. These brave, admirable ideals are a language that the modern left is incapable of comprehending, let alone adopting and expressing. Terms like “diversity,” “inclusivity” and “decolonization” are their substitutions for the distinct Canadian national trinity of “peace, order and good government.” Outside the platitudes posted on social media, there are few signs that Liberals or progressives would do anything to fortify a culturally unique Canadian identity. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/liberals-turned-their-back-on-patriotism-providing-an-opportunity-for-conservatives 1 Quote

No, nobody is saying that. That's just you. As always you make up fake arguments that someone else didn't make so you can justify your own weak positions. And you'll note that Canada's gov'ts both left AND right wing have respected the first nations rights to the land. Quote Right wingers when Jews make a claim to a land based on a 3,000 year old storybook: "we must respect the deep connected of these, the indigenous peoples to this land." Only in so far as the other side claims that no such history exists and uses that as a pretext to claim they are 'invaders'. You'll notice that when the first nations make a land claim we don't go and murder rape and burn their women and children and claim they never lived in canada Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

From beginning to end! This is what the Sun is all about. Distortion facts. Smith and company embarrassed themselves on a national level, by begging Trump not to impose tariffs on the oil and gas sector. Trump failed, and they left empty handed. Now Trump can use the situation to create division within Canada. It should also be known that they threw Mexico under the bus while doing so. SO Mexico is going to retaliate and not trust us. Overall, a complete failure for Smith and the UCP. Now Trump is STILL going to impose 25% tariffs on EVERYTHING, but he now will exploit the divisions between the Alberta Government and Canada. Quote

"The text was exposed as fraudulent by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and by the German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion Wikipedia is just another source for leftist liberal bullshit. Most of the stuff that they produce is leftist garbage. Just how would you personally know yourself as to whether those newspapers stories are true or fraudulent? You are just going by what you want to believe. And why should i believe what those newspapers said a long long time ago? Again, they could have been spreading lies and bullshit in those days for all we know. Everybody should read that book and then believe what they want to believe. I did, and it made for some very interesting reading. Just my opinion. Quote

The war in Israel is another subject which has nothing to do with the garbage you posted. You said you will refuse to accept the facts. I gave you the information: " The text was exposed as fraudulent by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and by the German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion You claim you prefer to believe an Arab woman who spread anti-Israel trash. No surprise there. There have been millions of anti-Semites in the world. Who would be surprised. Who says that i am anti-semetic or anti-Israel? You? Just because i question something that has to do with Judaism and Israel that i am somehow supposed to be anti-Jew? Grow some brain cells will you. Do you not believe that others could have a different opinion to yours, and that your opinions are only right and count? You gave me information which could all be read and taken as fraudulent. You have no idea as to what ever really happened thousands of years ago. If you are able to prove to me that the Arab woman is wrong, well go ahead and try. But for now, i prefer to listen and believe what she says and not you. All you can ever seem to do is keep trying to spread fraudulent garbage. When your so called god just sits around and watches as his poor and persecuted chosen people commit murder and crimes against humanity that does not look like a very good and loving god to me. Your god has to love chaos and mayhem, eh? Are you able to explain to me as to why a god for the chosen ones will allow is chosen ones to commit crimes against humanity? I await your reply. Quote

taxme Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 21 hours ago, blackbird said: If you are serious, maybe do some research yourself and find the answer. It doesn't sound like you would believe any answer I would find for you. Yes, there are many false religions in the world. If you don't know anything about what the Bible says, you are really just shouting in the wind without any knowledge about the subject. What gives you the expertise to be a judge of God's written revelation, the Bible? What do you have to offer to explain why man is on the earth? Because God said those that bless the Jews, he will bless; those that curse the Jews, ....well you can fill in the blank. The only answers that you seem yo give to me could very well be taken as fraudulent ones themselves. You have this air of ellegance about you that only your god and bible is the gospel truth. Only you seems to believe that your bible is the honest to goodness right bible and all others belong to false religions. Just how would you know if their god or religion was false? What gives you the expertise to be the judge of other religions? It would appear to me that Jews are doing pretty good in this world. They are sure treated by politicians and the media as pampered pooches. Just my opinion. Quote

blackbird Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 1 hour ago, taxme said: You have this air of ellegance about you that only your god and bible is the gospel truth. Yes, thank you for confirming my confidence in what I believe. I am confident because I have studied many things in the Bible, heard lots of excellent sermons on subjects in the Bible, and studied the subject of the different versions and where the Bible came from. I thank God for all of this. Everything I believe is due to God giving me the faith. I feel sorry for the obvious mess of false beliefs you seem to hold. I could help you get out of it, but what you do and what you believe is up to you. You have to make the decision about that. I have enough experience dealing with people on the forums to know it is a waste of time trying to debate with someone who has a closed mind. The evidence is there that the Bible was written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. Life is a struggle for many people. Perhaps that has something to do with you ideas too. I don't know what gives you the ideas you hold. Quote

Just how would you know if their god or religion was false? If I was not confident and sure about what the Bible says, then of course I would not know which religion was the true religion. You statement is odd because you are criticizing someone for being sure about what they believe. It would seem to me that anyone who holds strongly to a certain religion or any belief must be confident about what they believe. Otherwise why would they believe it or defend what they believe? As to how I would know if another religion is false, the answer is in the Bible. Two contradictory claims or belief systems cannot both be true. Either one is false or both are false, depending what the religion or belief system is. This is hard to explain to someone who has no idea what the Bible is all about. You could Google and ask the question as to what is the Bible about or ask for a summary of the Bible. Something like that. You might find some answers. Surprisingly even in churches that I have attended there are people who are deceived about some things or know little about some important related topics. I don't know a lot myself, but I have been fortunate to be able receive and learn about some things. I attended one particular church for a couple years where I heard some excellent preaching. One must make an effort to find the information. It doesn't come delivered to a person on a platter. There is also a website called sermon audio which has literally thousands of sermons by countless different ministers. They have an index of topics with hundreds of topics. You can find sermons on almost anything you can think of. I am not saying all sermons are good or even correct. That is something each person has to determine. That is where the Bible comes in. There has to be some reference point for truth in the world. The final authority is the Bible, in English, the King James Bible. Without that, what authority is there for truth? There is no other reference point. Edited January 15 by blackbird Quote

I am not going to get into that fruitless debate about the war in Israel. I don't have all the answers and it would be pointless to try. Your assumption about God is nonsensical. It shows you don't understand who God is at all. All I can tell you is what I believe the Bible says about God. One must accept a certain basic understanding about God. That does not mean it will explain all the conflicts in the world. There are many things we do not understand the reasons for and we must trust that God is in control and knows things that we will never know in this world. We do know that mankind fell from a perfect relationship with God when he rebelled against God in the garden of Eden. Since then the world became a corrupt place with all kinds of evil. Man is a fallen, evil being by nature since the fall. But God in his mercy decided to send His Son Jesus Christ into the world to die on a cross for the sins of mankind. God is first of all omnipotent. That means he is all powerful. God is omniscient. That means he knows everything from the beginning to the end. God is omnipresent. That means God is present everywhere. God is a spirit, not a part of the material universe. God is all merciful and loving. God is completely just. Here is an important point. God is personally knowable. But he is knowable only through His Son, Jesus Christ. One can and must know His Son and then he will know God. That is how God can be personally known and one can be known by God. It is a personal relationship. This is where other religions fail. Edited January 15 by blackbird Quote

blackbird Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 52 minutes ago, Black Dog said: lol f*ck off with your fairytales. quote How I Know Christianity is True Article contributed by Probe Ministries Visit Probe's website Probe's Patrick Zukeran offers 5 lines of evidence that Christianity is true: Christianity teaches the correct worldview, the Bible is God's Word, Jesus confirmed His claims, Christ's resurrection, and personal experience. Because Christianity Teaches the Correct Worldview Among all the religions and philosophies, how do we know Christianity is true? While there are many ways to address the question, let's begin by saying that Christianity makes sense of the world around us. In other words, it presents the most correct worldview based on the world in which we live. There are three worldviews that lie at the foundation of all religions and philosophies: theism, naturalism, and pantheism. Theism teaches there is a personal God who created the universe. Naturalism teaches there is no divine being and that the universe is the result of time and chance. Pantheism teaches that the universe is eternal and that the divine is an impersonal force made up of all things. All three worldviews cannot be true at the same time and if one of them is true, the other two must be false. The evidence from our study of the universe points to theism. Unfortunately, time will allow me to go over only three lines of evidence. The first is the argument from first cause or the cosmological argument, which states if something exists, it must have either come from something else, come from nothing, or have always existed. What is the most reasonable conclusion of the three for the existence of the universe? Scientists confirm that the universe has a beginning. Many call this the "big bang." Since the universe assuredly has a beginning, the worldview of pantheism bears the burden of proof. Second, to say the universe comes from nothing goes against responsible scientific inquiry and human logic. For example, any invention in human history is not brought about from nothing. It comes from materials and ingenuity that existed before its inception. Therefore, the naturalist worldview has no logical ground to stand on. The best conclusion is that the universe is the result of a cause greater than itself. That cause is God. unquote For the full article go to: How I Know Christianity is True | Bible.org Quote
