Why I Believe In God

This is kinda of my statement of faith and my attempt at apologetics. Many who read this know about my Christian faith and know how it sharps many of my views. These are some of the reasons why I follow God.
The universe is to far orderly for it to have come into existence by accident. The earth will orbit around the sun without falling off course. The stars do not all spontaneously fall out of the sky and all the other planets remain in orbit. Not to mention the sun doesn’t just burn out or disappear and goes out every day or for that matter hurl toward Earth.
There is natural law such as marriage which goes back to Adam and Eve and is a universal  institution that goes across numerous cultures. All world religions celebrate this rite and seems natural to the world to get married and rise a family.  Even the gay community have been fighting for this right as they recognize this as universal expression of love between two people. I feel that this had to be designed by a higher power.
The origin of man and creation on Earth as I find I cannot believe the theory of evolution. I strongly believe that man was created in the image of God.1 I also look at scenery around where I live with the trees and animals as well and think there is no way this (Once again) could have been created by accident. Not to mention all the different forms of life on the planet in the form of plants and animals as there are so many.
There is also prayer which He has answered more times than I can count. Examples are when things are going bad at work where they have been corrected to healing for myself or loved ones and even peace of mind at mind. These happen in such a way they can't be a conscience and right at a good time for them to happen.He is constantly working my life.
I haven’t mentioned Jesus Christ and not because I don’t in him but because next time I will explain the reason why I believe Jesus Christ is God.

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. What is a Red Tory then?  In Oxford”s Dictionary it is defined in Canada “a member of a political group who,while maintaining some conservative principles,supports many liberal and socialist policies “.

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...
