Some of Candace Owens recent statements concern me. Maybe it's battle fatigue. I can see where that road leads and it doesn't end well for anyone. My first concern is the claim that Jews aren't Jews. My second concern is the claim that Jews rape children in occult ceremonies. Now that is bat sh*t crazy.Can we say a word about sweeping stereotypes? Recently Candace made a similar statement claiming that Freemason's traffic children. Like the claim about the Jews raping children, both are false, defamatory and hypocritical.
Candace Owens has become a vocal advocate for the Catholic Church. That is her right. Yet making false claims about other groups raping children is somewhat hypocritical knowing that Catholic Priests have been raping boys for generations.
It's obscene and happens far too often. I have always defended the church by saying the Catholic church does not teach molesting young boys is OK. There has been the occasional Protestant minister do the same thing. Even hockey coaches. That doesn't mean hockey is bad. It means bad people often hijack religion or volunteer groups to do bad things.
Yet I do find it to be a huge double standard when Candace makes false allegations about other groups of people raping children without acknowledging the horrific legacy of child rape the Catholic church historically bears.
One set of allegations are very real while the other set of allegations most certainly are not. This is why I have always stressed the difference between Jewish Neo Cons and Judaism because there's a big difference. Some Jews are far left, while some are far right. Like any other group, most fall somewhere in between. To claim that Jews rape children and Freemasons tragic children is absurd. It's completely false.
The hatred and misinformation about Jews concerns me. There's good and bad in every group of people especially when you have political agendas hijack the religious intent.
Now Candace claims that Jews aren't Jews and cites a book "The Invention of the Jewish People." Like WTF? That is batsh*t crazy. That's like saying Palestinians don't exist or Russians don't exist or the British don't exist.
Palestinians and Jews are both descendants of Abraham. Jacob, Abraham's grandson was given the name Israel. His 12 children became known as the 12 tribes of Israel.
The kings of Israel were descendants of Judah. Hence Moses' blessing the scepter shall not depart from Judah. King David was of the house of Judah as was Christ.
Does Candace Owens and the Catholic church not believe in the Bible? Historically the Kingdom of Israel was split in two before it was conquered. The Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel. That's history. Does Candace Owens and the Catholic church deny history as well as the Bible?
These erroneous claims draws attention to some of the other prophecies about the Catholic church. The Protestant Reformation happened for a reason. When the Bible was translated into English, many people saw that some of the teachings of the Catholic church contradicted the Bible.
Martin Luther and John Wesley were good men. King Henry was not. King Henry kept executing his ex's because the church wouldn't allow divorce. Then finally he decided to start his own church. Yet other reformers had much more noble intentions.
Sadly a lot of Protestants went running in the wrong direction. When I was in Ireland I felt far more comfortable with the Catholics because they weren't so extreme and intolerant.
They would always quote oral prophecies. They kept saying in the last days you won't know the summer from the winter. I kept hearing that over and over again so I finally asked where is that from? It's not in the Bible. Was that some local prophet like Saint Patrick or Columbcile? Surely it had to be local because in the tropics you can't tell the summer from the winter and it's always been that way. Yet in the Arctic you can sure tell the difference between the summer and the winter.
One Irish Catholic claimed that one day the Antichrist will sit on Saint Peter's chair. That's a Catholic term for the Pope. When she said that I asked her you're Catholic? Yes she said. And you believe that? Yes she said. Interesting I thought.
Bad people hijack religion for bad purposes. Ian Paisley always used to say the Pope was the Antichrist and I would always say, yeah? Ian Paisley teaches hate. The Pope doesn't.
Yet all this antisemitic misinformation coming from members of the Catholic church concerns me and forces me to reflect on some of the other prophecies about the last days.
It's one thing to oppose the genocide in Gaza but to claim Jews have no hereditary claim to the land in Israel is absurd. To claim that the State of Israel does not fulfill Biblical prophecies is false. The Bible talks extensively about the scattering and gathering of Israel. Denying the legitimacy of the State of Israel is the same as denying the Palestinians right of return.
Both extremes are wrong. That's what the Oslo accord fixed. To claim that there is no such thing as Jews is crazy. The Biblical record is validated with history. Then to claim that Jews rape children is an offensive lie. This is QAnon nonsense equivalent to the claims that they were raping babies and eating babies. That is delusional.
This is why I oppose adapting a State religion. The freedom of religion means exactly that. Adapting a State Religion would violate the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights. It's also a stepping to to abolishing all religion and every other freedom that goes with it. First you abolish all religions but one, then you abolish that final religion and mission accomplished. You've just created a Marxist Leninist atheist state.
Previously I asked what if a future Pope embraced Communism in exchange for becoming the State Religion. That could feasibly happen and I can tell you it won't end well for anyone.
Without speculating about the future we need to denounce all this crazy talk and separate ourselves from it. Mind how you go.
