I'm amazed at how far Canada has fallen. Truly.
the police were called to remove him from the library, he was arrested because he had outstanding warrants.

according to police reports he pushed aside parents who were trying to keep him away from the event and their children. He pushed his way to the front of the room and proceeded to shout obscenities and homophobic and transphobic slurs at children who were attended the event.

The man is a true hero.

This man is disgrace, violating God’s law to “Obey those in authority over you”

Obey those in authority over you is not an absolute.

Any Christian that holds to the idea that it is, is going to have to reconcile that errant idea to the coming of the beast and antichrist.
They'll obey them too. If it's an absolute.

Not sure I agree with this statement linked to this event. I do think that barging into an event with children present and shouting is not the best way to protest and that the police had every right to remove him. Christians still have to be held accountable for how they choose to do things, and if this had been anyone else then the same action would have been taken.

I think it helps to read the full article. Tinman claims are not in the article.

Meanwhile, what many Christians here may not know is when the pastor is accused of hate speech that means he was citing scripture. Which is a hate crime in Canada.

I read the article, the pastor did turn up to the library and he was harassing the staff and manager while the event was taking place, so children were present. My point is that if anyone was to do this over here then the police would be called and the person would be removed by the police for causing a disturbance.
You cannot harass people who are just doing their jobs, even if you disagree with what they are doing. There are good and bad ways to protest. Also there are right and wrong ways to preach the word of God - has it ever occurred to you that the wrong way has actually brought about some of the laws being changed ! ( not all as I am well aware of hidden agendas )
This is just my opinion - I know it’s not the same opinion as others.

Given Canada's laws that are hostile toward our faith, I think it best to reserve judgement on what is reported as harassment.

The Beast is of no concern to those who are in Christ! They are all taken up before the Beast takes his throne as the 7th Seal is opened: Rev 7:9-18

I'm surprised there is not a huge uprising by all women against drag queens who make a mockery of real womanhood. Maybe because the media has not told them to do so? In any case, I don't see much difference between drag queens and black face.

Agreed.
As to media reporting, I think when media has demonstrated its bias and Leftist agenda propagandizing, if there were protests against tranny men mocking womens sex that we wouldn't hear about it.

Only if individuals videos would appear on the net at such events would it be brought to our attention.

Men are allowed to enter women's sport and compete. If they win they're reported as a woman winning that sport.

This is a war against women. By mentally ill men and a complicit yellow journalism media.

Satan is on the throne of this world.

He's sitting over there in the left. Wearing a skirt sitting topless and showing off his breast implants. The makeup is grotesque by the way .
Oh, look! Old Scratch also has fake porcelain nails and a French manicure.

Want a real eye opener? Google image search, Trans Satan.

There's a tee shirt line,and way more, cartooning the Satanic goat. The slogan, Satan Respects Pronouns.

"Reimer was protesting near another drag storytime event when he was arrested on outstanding warrants. He now faces eight new offences, including criminal harassment, causing a disturbance and breaching his release conditions. "

"On that day, he allegedly pushed parents to get to the front of the room and proceeded to shout homophobic and transphobic slurs at children who attended the event." A less biased source

here is the actual ruling: Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott

As you can see it doesn't say this at all.


From the ruling: "Biblical beliefs and the principles derived from those beliefs can be legally and reasonably advanced in public discourse, speech which can be described as "detestation" and "vilification" cannot be."

"The biblical passage, in and of itself, cannot be taken as inspiring detestation and vilification of homosexuals. While use of the Bible as a credible authority for a hateful proposition has been considered a hallmark of hatred, it would only be unusual circumstances and context that could transform a simple reading or publication of a religion’s holy text into what could objectively be viewed as hate speech."

Whiatcott's conviction of hate speech was for the actual hate speech he was distributing.

Using 'phobia' to make the arguement in defense of sexual perversion fallacious Ad Homenim. Could we be phobic AND such sexual persion STILL be wrong?
Or, could atheists, Tranny's, Homosexuals, in direct opposition to and with malice for Christian morality and doctrine invoke the phobic ad hominem against Christians in a clear act of hate speech and as an example of their Christophobia?

Phobia , Greek phobos "fear, panic fear, terror, outward show of fear; object of fear or terror. "

Christian doctrine condemns the unnatural sex act of homo-sexual behavior.
It also condemns Trans behavior, though we should certainly feel sympathy for those persons and because they are mentally ill and emotionally unbalanced.

The hate speech against our community intends to mask the contempt, hatred and fear the Sodomite sinners and Tranny sinners feel toward God, for making a mistake in the creation of their wrong gender, and those who hold to the natural order of things.

It's Satan's temper tantrum via surrogates.
