Freedom is Not Free
Yet we, Canadian Christians have Lost it

Freedom cost the lives of many soldiers, airmen, and navy personnel where all were grieved by a loved one, from a father, a mother, brothers and sisters who will never be comforted for their loss. It was a war by hand-to-hand combat, infantry, artillery fire, air-to-air combat, bombing deliberately on the civilian population, battleships against battleships, and merchant vessels against submarines. The cost of human life and resources for our freedom far exceeds our comprehension. It is now been taken for granted, easily giving up our freedom to accommodate the agenda of our enemies that have infiltrated our government institutions without resistance, not even a single gunshot has been fired, no sign of casualty. Nonetheless, there have been casualties. Our children have been kidnapped, and parents have lost their sovereign parenthood right over their children. Christians underestimate our enemy and its tactics. We were always at war - a war against principality, a war against Judeo-Christian culture. Canada's enemies are those who want to destroy our Judeo-Christian values.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places,” Eph 6:12
“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it,” Col 2:15
This commentary exposes the lies and the deceptions. It is about making a public spectacle of the false principalities and misappropriation by the authority of the federal government and the provincial government who weaken our Judeo-Christian heritage in Canada by twisting language which was under the protection of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees that everyone
has the following fundamental freedoms:
•
freedom of conscience and religion;•
freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of
communication;•
freedom of peaceful assembly; and•
freedom of association.
Rights Respecting Certain Schools Preserved
•
Nothing in this Charter abrogates or derogates from any rights or privileges
guaranteed by or under the Constitution of Canada in respect of denominational,
separate or dissentient schools.
A lesson from the past
Have we learned anything from the example of God’s people Israel? The theme throughout the Book of Judges was, “Failure through compromise” and the theme found in the Book of Joshua was “Victory through faith.”
How many books have been written, how many commentaries were blogged, and how many sermons have been preached about faith? Is the Church any better than historical Israel when it comes to being in obedience to His commandments? The Church has its moments of victory and its moments of failure. One generation who has forgotten what it took to be in fellowship with God proceeded by a generation crying out to God to intervene. Is this where the Church of this era is right now, confused, divided and in despair? Many American and Canadian Christians are crying out to God for a revival while many Christians are content with a once-a-week gathering to worship our Lord since they figure that we still have the right to do so. You wouldn’t believe how many stay-at-home believers are forsaking the assembly of the saints, (Hebrews 10:25). Revival will not come unless we are willing to obey and to live by faith according to His instructions. If we don’t obey, we are no better than the children of Jacob, Israel. Inasmuch God warned Israel and Judah to return to Him and to His covenant, so is Jesus through the Apostle John whom He loved much, through his writing is warning His Church in North America to return as a good and faithful steward of His Word, fulfil His commission or else, it will be given to another nation.
“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent,” Revelation 2:5
Canadian and American Christian Churches are not Israel since we live under a new covenant (Mark 14:24). We are bondservants by the same rules of stewardship as the Israelites. The present Canadian multicultural society with its diversity of cultures and religions reflects the same characteristics that existed during the time of Imperialist Rome and Autocratic Babylon. Nothing new under the sun, (Eccl 1:9).
In the Book of Judges, soon after the settlement of each Israelite tribe in their assigned territory, Israel quickly drifted away from God. In those days there were no kings in Israel, and every man did that which was right in his eyes, (Judges 17:6). Doesn’t that reflect also the North American Christians Churches? Having good intentions, each congregation identifies itself with their own personalized statement of belief - every church denomination doing what is right in its own eyes and so are each individual Christian? Canada and America were once a strong Judeo-Christian influence; it is no more. The Church has lost its salt flavour, and the light on the lampstand has extinguished and the lampstand will soon be relocated, (Rev 2:5) if the Church doesn’t repent.
In (Judges 3:4), God allowed five lords of the Philistine to be used as a thorn in the side of the children of Israel, (chap. 2:3). The Canaanites, the Sidonians, the Hivites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, (verse 5). Why? Verse 4 explains; how to test Israel. From what? From their gods who would be used as a snare (Judges 2:2). The snare was used to find out whether they would obey the commandments of God (Judges 3:4), particularly “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3-5). The consequences of being entangled in the snare, Israel's moral and spiritual disobedience would lead to their deportation.
What about Canadian Christians? Have we not been entrapped into the federal multicultural policies - an autocratic snare, and anti-Christian trap, slowly but surely dictating what ought to be taught to our children, over-ruling the parent's cultural and religious practice and beliefs, to unite all cultures, all religious faith unto one philosophy, one ideology, one religion under the trickery of Bahai faith indoctrination and Darwinism evolutionary rhetoric. We live in a so-called ‘Extreme Bias Multiculturalism and in an Extreme Bias Multi-Gender’ nation.
We, Christians, dropped our guard and allowed the Canadian federal and provincial leaders to dictate what we are to accept culturally. Both levels of government became fascist to the core, under the umbrella of political correctness accusing Christians of intolerance and racism when Christians voiced their concern.
“True and pure diversity in a multicultural society is to allow each parent to teach their children their religious belief, their values according to their culture and tradition, and to teach their sexual moral standard and behaviour without prejudice and without interference from any level of government. Isn't that what the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is all about?”
