A Year Older

Today I have become a year older and hopefully over the last few years a lot wiser. I look back at how some of views have charged and realize that things and situations charge when you get older. I look to expand on these in future blogs but for now enjoy the rest of my night as I had a great day.

What Church Do I Belong To?

 The short answer to that is the Baptist church which is part of the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec. But recently I across a series of surveys which tell you what Christian denomination best suits you or in some cases what religion best suits you. The first one is from Playbuzz and Asks What Christian Denomination Should You Be Part Of? I took the survey and the answer I got was Lutheran which is a bit strange since I have never foot in a Lutheran church. But I do use a Lutheran Book of Prayer in my devotions sometimes. I came across a blog by Internet Monk and the post was titled Where do I belong? On it he had a bunch of surveys he had taken the results given. One was Belief Net-Belief-O-Matic and I learned that I am a Conservative Christian Protestant The next one was What is Your Spiritual type which learned that I am a Confident Believer. Two other ones were the Christian Denomination Selector which has as 100% Wesleyan/Methodist and 100% Southern Baptist but would be...

What Is A Red Tory?

 My politics have shifted over the past few years as I have gone from being a libertarian to social conservative to being middle of the road. The position I have embraced is Red Toryism as I was a supported of the Progressive Conservative Party Of Canada and later the Conservative Party Of Canada but I have not supported the later in years. My political heroes have included former Prime Ministers Sir.John A MacDonald, Sir Robert Borden and John Diefenbaker. But the problem I am having is what does it mean to be a Red Tory and what Red Toryism is. It is often described by the media as “fiscally conservative and socially liberal” but many Neo-conservative governments such as Mike Harris in Ontario and Ralph Klein in Alberta espoused these views are definitely not Red Tories.

Why I Am Arminian

 I have debated this topic for a while in my Christian walk and have come to some conclusions as I researched it .What I am talk about is the Calvinism vs Arminianism debate and have come up on one side. This is the Arminian side of this debate and these are some reasons why. The first reason is the most central to this issue is free will which goes back to the Garden where Adam and Eve had a choice and unfortunately made the wrong one. Since then we have all become deprived and have the choice whether or not to follow God. There are of course consequences if we choose to follow him or not. This is not taking from the sovereignty of God but as created beings we have we will. The issue of election which is conditional as we have a choice whether or not we want to accept God’s gift of grace. We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.(1Cor 6:1)  It is like if someone gives you a gift, you can choose whether or not to acce...
