Christians have values now?

[-] AndriiZvorygin@helpos.ca -4 points 1 hour ago

Forgiving loving and being kind to all beings those are the commandments of Jesus to his disciples.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

I've seen the value of Christian values, and that's hardly reassuring, Mark

[-] AndriiZvorygin@helpos.ca -4 points 1 hour ago

What values have you seen? Jesus promoted forgiveness love and kindness for all beings. To he a servant to all. To care for the needy. Are those the ones you speak of?

You mean like holy wars and what's been occurring in palestein?

"Matthew 10:34-36 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.”"

"John 14:26 ”Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”"

And there are so many more.

I've always had a problem with peopel that claim this shit is good, there's a lot of bad shit in the bible too. It aint all peaches and cream. It's not really right to pick and choose either. Sure, you can learn some good things I suppose, but there's a lot of bad along with the good.

John 14:26 is what they have been accusing Muslims of for decades. That the west loves life while Muslims love death.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

What Jesus promoted and what Christians perform are two entirely different things.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

I didn't see that one coming?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago

Fuck off Carney. Wake up, Canada has millions of non-christians, are they now not Canadians?

[-] AndriiZvorygin@helpos.ca -5 points 1 hour ago

Christian values are what make it possible to have a peaceful country even with a large variety of other cultures present. Jesus calls on us to forgive love and be kind to all beings.

Islam and Judaism by contrast say to kill the non believers. Atheism says to kill the enemy of the state. Only Christianity recognizes the inherent dignity of all beings.

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 2 points 1 hour ago

That's insane what you just said right there.

[-] AndriiZvorygin@helpos.ca -3 points 1 hour ago

Amen! This kinda stuff is why Carney has such a high approval rating.

[-] Aralakh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Your comments are batshit crazy

[-] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 1 points 52 minutes ago

I reported him for trolling.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

I thought you were being sarcastic.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 3 points 5 hours ago

Christian values, like when he was complicit in culling over 130,000 of the disabled poor in Britain, during the 2010s?

They'd not have managed to do that without him.

Not falling for his public image management white washing.

[-] AndriiZvorygin@helpos.ca -4 points 1 hour ago

Jesus calls on us to help the poor, cause even the least is divine and worthy of love and compassion. UK is mostly Muslim/atheist now as far as I know.

Mark Carney was at a national prayer breakfast, aka an event for praying in public, and quoted from Mark.
Now, I will do the same:

Mark 6:5-6:
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Still as a Canadian and as PM he should realize it's inappropriate for him to engage in public prayer.

Hopefully he steps down for this.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 47 minutes ago

If he has to step doen it would be for supporting israel and letting the sale of occupied west bank land in synaguoges

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Why would he step down for this if he didn’t step down for any of the terrible shit he’s done? Besides, who’s gunna oversee the government firing the next 12,000 federal employees?

Mark Carney: A conservative in red, voted for by fools who were too scared of a conservative in blue to use even 1% of their brains.
