One of the arguments against solo fidelas that we hear from RCC is that early fathers agree with them that faith alone is not enough to save. That's false, so with a reminder that our source of truth is the Bible, here are some quotes that may help you really know what early Christian leaders taught:

This doesn't represent @SookeBrewingCo 's values: So what are those values? Fire people for exercising free speech. Accept anecdotes as evidence and then demand everyone agree with your position. Your values, Sooke, are exactly held by businesses that supported Hitler rather than demand evidence for the Nazi's claims.

The city of Calgary admits removed the option two signs but left the stay in Canada signs untouched. And somehow that’s a mistake? No that’s a directive from the mayor’s office. @JeromyYYC broke the law and needs to be held accountable! #TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSbySMv6F/

The Truth About Residential Schools. Residential Schools were a black mark on Canada's history of engaging with First Nations. There is a lot of nonsense (from all sides). Claims have been paid out for supportable, real harm. Here is why: the supportable, and verifiable truth: The boarding-school idea is older than Confederation. The Mohawk Institute in Brantford began taking boarders in 1831. The federally funded, church-run system that people mean by “residential schools” was authorized in 1883 on the model of the 1879 Davin Report and expanded under the Indian Act. The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement lists about 140 institutions between 1831 and 1997. The number open at once peaked around 1931 at roughly 80 schools and more than 17,000 students. The last federally funded school, Kivalliq Hall in Rankin Inlet, closed in 1996–97. So the national system ran mainly from the 1880s into the 1970s, with a long tail, not as a continuous 166-year regime. About 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children attended over that whole span. Attendance was never universal. In the mid-1930s residential enrolment was roughly comparable to federal day-school enrolment. By 1960, First Nations students in ordinary public or private schools already matched residential enrolment; by 1968–69, students living in residences were about 13 percent of First Nations children in school. The 1894 and 1920 Indian Act amendments made school attendance compulsory for status Indian children and allowed truancy enforcement, but the obligation was to a day school where one existed, or to a residential school where it did not. Some parents enrolled children for food, trades, or lack of a local school; others resisted, and agents did remove children. Compulsion was real and uneven, not total. The stated aim was assimilation. Officials and missionaries agreed that children should be separated from parents, languages, and ceremonies, Christianized, and taught farming, trades, or domestic work so they could live in the settler economy. Treaty texts had promised schooling; many Indigenous leaders wanted skills, not family separation. In practice, per-capita grants were low, student labour often replaced classroom time, and academic results stayed poor. Into the 1930s only a small share reached Grade 8, and high-school grades were rare before the 1940s. The health record is the clearest quantitative harm. In 1907 Indian Affairs medical officer Peter Bryce reported that, of pupils who had attended 15 western schools, about 24 percent were known to have died, mostly of tuberculosis, with one school near 69 percent. Duncan Campbell Scott later wrote that it was “quite within the mark” to say half the children who passed through those early schools did not live to benefit from the education. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s registers, built from school and government files, list about 3,200 confirmed deaths from 1867 to 2000, most before 1940; names, sex, or cause are missing in a large share of cases, so the count is a floor, not a ceiling. Where cause is recorded, tuberculosis and other infections dominate, not homicide. Death rates among residential-school students stayed well above those of non-Indigenous Canadian children aged 5–14 until the 1950s, when antibiotics and better conditions brought them down. Tuberculosis was also severe on reserves; some period comparisons show on-reserve child mortality as high as or higher than in the schools outside the worst outbreak years. Overcrowded dormitories still amplified infection, and Bryce’s warnings were not acted on. Abuse is established by the compensation record, not only by testimony. Under the 2006 settlement, a Common Experience Payment went to roughly 79,000 former students for attendance itself. The Independent Assessment Process, for serious physical or sexual abuse, had paid about $3.2 billion to roughly 31,000 claimants by 2019. That is a large minority of attendees, not all of them, and it excludes milder punishment that was never claimed. Languages and family transmission were deliberately suppressed, and that loss is the policy’s most durable effect. The same system also produced English or French literacy and some vocational skills for students who stayed healthy long enough to finish, which is why a minority of former students later described the schools as harsh but useful. By the 1940s officials themselves treated the model as a failure on both cost and results and began shifting children into day and provincial schools. A supportable summary is therefore: from the 1880s to the 1970s, Canada and the churches ran boarding schools whose explicit goal was to replace Indigenous home life and belief with Christian, English- or French-speaking citizenship; roughly 150,000 children passed through them; early death rates from infectious disease were indefensibly high; serious abuse was widespread enough to generate tens of thousands of compensated claims; and the schools largely failed even at the narrow education they promised.

I got a little emotional singing EK GENG FRAM. You can probably hear it from the beginning. Having the opportunity to perform and seeing so many people enjoying the music genuinely touched me.

Phyllis Webstad has made millions by saying that a nun took her orange shirt—but she wasn’t taught by nuns and was never at a residential school.

With National Day for Truth and Reconciliation tomorrow, it’s important that Canadians know the facts. In 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc announced that ground-penetrating radar had identified 215 anomalies believed to be potential unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. As of September 2026, no human remains have been recovered or forensically confirmed at the site. No excavation has taken place despite money given to the nation for that cause.

One theme I have witnessed constantly in my life is that debt and money divide families. Today, the level of entitlement among many is unsurpassed. What is your story? What is the most outrageous demand a family member put on you because you had won, saved or earned some money?

Carney needs to pull his elbows down, and get a trade deal with the US. All this EU crap, isn't fooling anyone. It's all theatre. Would not happen for years and years down the road, if ever. He best get his ass back to Parliament and do his damn job.

Florida Democrat says its "crazy" she has to pay back student loans. @AngieNixon I think its "crazy" you went to college and still don't understand what the word "loan" means. If I were your credit card and mortgage providers, I would be calling in those debts. foxbusiness.com/video/640511…

Even Arabs in other countries are sick and tired of the so-called "Palestinians" and their endless hatred of Israel.

An Arab man from Saudi Arabia in a message to Palestinians: "Who are you trying to fool? You have no land and no case. This land belongs to Israel for the people of Israel. You Palestinians are evil in any country you set foot on!" This must be shard every single day.

@MarkJCarney You keep fucking around with the trade talks, and we are now going to feel the full wrath of Trump's anger. You have been an absolute and complete failure as Prime Minister. This is going to kill our country, and it's all because of you! Please resign!

What Lindsay Clancy‘s trial, and the reactions of the women who wanted to set her free without even considering the evidence because of her hormones, tells us is this: No woman should be in any position of responsibility, including in business or government, because her hormones make her do crazy stuff that could kill people or put the country into war. This is a step back 500 years for feminism. That is what these women are arguing for. They are arguing that women should not be in any position of responsibility that could put anyone at risk, they should never be allowed to be gun owners, they should never be allowed to own knives or anything that could harm another person. Is that really what you want to argue for women?

Controversial take: While the Bible forbids marks on our body associated with worshipping false gods (as they are really demons) (Leviticus 19:28 and 1Cor 10:20), I don't believe that applies to body art. What do you think? Are tattoos only forbidden if they are symbols that celebrate false religions, or do you think all tattoos are wrong?

Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew is בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ (transliterated as Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'aretz) The word Elohim is El for God and him is three which you can see in the next passages: the Spirit of God hovered over the waters, God the Father spoke and He commanded light, which is Jesus, by whom and through whom everything was made People that don’t understand the scriptures complain about the idea of Trinity because the word Trinity is not in the Bible. But it’s combined in the very first statement about God in the entire scripture. God has always been three persons in one being.
