They live in the cold and travel alot mostly to warm up. Their scocialist system gives them more free time to travel. We Americans have been here for as long as you have and we are the superpower, Canada is just the girl next door that we look after. Without the U.S. to rely on Canada would have to triple it's military budget, increase it's foriegn aid and grow up into our world where being nice gets you killed.
This forum is about the church and the U.S. constitution, not the wimpy hosers north of us who continually give us a hard time while sneaking down here to work and warm up. If you are from canada try to keep to the subject and not on how much better canadians are than us in the U. S. Keep your views on our patriotism up your great white north. |

Very disappointing, guys. Canada is your biggest trading partner, and your strongest ally. Your arrogance and disrespect towards your friend to the north is not only unjustified, but it is very un-Christian.
Jesus taught humility and friendship. Do you guys really think that your insults towards the 'hosers north of you' are very humble or friendly? Do you think that you are following the teachings of Jesus? _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

Jesus says "If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword".
If you are serving then continue to serve.
God needs to be in all things, Government, schools, business, private lives.
Anywhere God is removed from, that area will suffer and fail.
If God is not in our Government then our nation will fail. It will be overcome and destroyed. History has shown that lesson over and over.
If God is not in the schools, pray, study etc. then our kids will grow up with the absence of God in there education and it will show in their lives.
Kids killing kids in school, disrespecting parents, stealing, lying, cheating on tests and against others.
If God is not in Business then you have business people who take advantage of people, use bad business practices for profit, and greed to the point others sufferby their decisions.
If God is not in our private lives then we corrupt our families, friends, children. Accountability, honesty, and trust. All go out the window. In the last days, brother against sister, father against son.
God has been removed and the sequence of events are set in motion.
When our Country was first started God was instilled in the makings of the Government. They had Prayer before each session, they used the government buildings on Sunday to have church in. "In God we trust" meant something and our actions proved it.
We are so afraid, and bow to the minorities wishes. We have taken God from out of the Government and now are trying to remove him from schools, businesses, and soon even any public place. Yes, Churches.
Its happening all over the world, Christian die every day for their faith, approx. 1200 everyday at the last count. Islam is moving against christians, bolder than ever before. Organizations popping up everywhere taking a stand against christians.
Remember what will happen before the beast is revealed, A falling away from God.
The sequence of events are set in motion. But we are to continue serving and to be found faithful even unto the end!!!!
And our reward shall follow us!!!! _________________ Thunderone

What you are saying here is EXACTLY wrong. Countries which DON'T have a separation between church and state are the ones which suffer and fail.
Separation between church and state is one of Western Civilization's greatest contributions to history. Countries with a separation tend to thrive. Those without such as theocracies do very poorly.
You don't seem to understand that separation between church and state is good for the church! _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

I find this to be very hard to believe. Please cite.
Contrary to what you might think, the days of Christians being a persecuted minority are long gone. Christians own this planet. They hold almost all of the power and all of the resources. _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

Are you saying that Christians are persecuted in China, or are you saying that White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Males don't rule the planet? _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

| Quote: | | Are you saying that Christians are persecuted in China, or are you saying that White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Males don't rule the planet? | Yeah, that is what I am saying. How many nations are there in the world? How many of those nations are governed by W.A.S.P.s? How many chinese christians are in prison currently or have been killed for their beliefs in the past couple of years?
Give me the answers to those questions and then try to support your errors in light of the facts. _________________ JP's Mind - my blog

There are about 20 worth mentioning that have any real power in terms of economic or military might.

If you cut me some slack and ask which of the most powerful countries are predominantly Christian, then the answer is pretty much all of them. The only global powers I can think of that AREN'T Christian are China and Japan.

Good question; why don't you tell me? I'm guessing it's about one ten-thousandth of one percent of the total number of Christians on the planet. _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

How did Jesus feel on the subject of Church/ state cohabitation?
John 18:36; " My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence." (of this time)
Most so-called Christians are more interested in belly-aching about what they want the government to do for them than being a part of Christ's future kingdom. I don't think many would be willing to be stretched on the rack, or be burned alive for their beliefs, as Christians have in the past.
To become involved in the affairs of civil government, is to go the way of the world. The USA has become a religion unto itself, insisting on allegiance to it over and above everything else. |

Answer that question based on population.
| Quote: | | Good question; why don't you tell me? I'm guessing it's about one ten-thousandth of one percent of the total number of Christians on the planet. | More equivocation. You qualify after the fact to fit your misled assertions. You said:

This is simply untrue. In China, christians are a minority, and they are persecuted, same goes for most any communist country.
You really have to think things through a bit more before you say something if you expect others not to come by and point out that you are wrong, and then you have to qualify yourself after the fact.... messy, really messy. Do you write computer programs like that? input a program, and then go back in and put in all the stuff you left out, change code all over the place and rebuild what should have been thought out better in the first place? _________________ JP's Mind - my blog
