Bob Weaver

I think they’re being raised as normal Christians. Are you ok? You never responded to the citations I sent about Trudeau issuing vaccine mandates. You sent a lot of strong obnoxious language saying he didn’t do that. Are you allowed to admit you’re wrong in this forum?

Is that you Bob? Bob Weaver? You seem to be bobbing and weaving.

What do you mean as “normal Christians”. Feel free to go into as much theological detail. I was raised in what I considered to be a “normal Christian” household by parents that were clergy.

Yes, both my father and mother were clergy. My mother preached a sermon every Sunday, something that would be prohibited by most “normal Christians” in America.

Do these “normal Christians” you are referring to require belief in the inerrancy of the New Testament? Neither the Nicene Creed nor the Apostles’ Creed, foundational documents of Christianity make any reference to the inerrancy of scripture.

“Inerrancy” is almost uniquely American, first fully articulated in the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, yet you might be thinking that “normal Christians” have to believe it.

Do they subscribe to the provision of the Nicene Creed that,

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

Do they believe, as required by the Apostles’ Creed, in

the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.

Or do they believe in the new American god who hates his opponents, despises the foreigners in the land and wants to be worshipped unquestioningly?

Regarding your question about citations related to of the complaints of a small minority of Canadian truck drivers that they were subject to covid “mandates”, perhaps you didn’t see my response of September 18, 2025.

I read what you wrote very slowly. Did you read the citations very slowly about Trudeau’s mandates?

Yes, thank you for providing the non-paywalled link.

Again, there was no “truckers’ mandate”. There was consistent application of cross border requirements that applied to anyone entering Canada. Truck drivers under federal jurisdiction had temporarily been exempted from the requirements.

As of January 15, 2022 they were treated the same as others entering Canada. That is not some kind of “truckers’ mandate” it is consistent application of the law.

The mandate, which took effect on Jan. 15, states that all Canadian cross-border essential workers — including truckers — must show proof of vaccination at a port of entry to avoid stringent testing requirements and quarantine.

Those rules have been in effect for the travelling public since the fall. Truckers travelling within Canada are not affected by these new measures.

The government announced the cross-border vaccine policy on Nov. 19 and, after some confusion, the policy took effect on Jan. 15.

Regarding the silencing of Jimmy Kimmel, Americans would be wise to re-read what Martin Niemöller said.
