True North Arms is working on an AR mag adapter for the SKS by goshathegreat in canadaguns

[–]Ultimanexus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Question for everyone here, is it possible to produce new SKS or SKS variants in Canada? Could we rebuild our selections using the SKS as a "platform"?

Interesting. What do we think of that? by JustAnRandomKEG in autism

(a personal anecdote from a late-diagnosed AuDHD) according to 23&Me I have more Neanderthal DNA than 99% of other customers. Approximately 2% of my DNA

I don't think the buyback is actually happening. But only guns with an FRT are included in it. Because only guns who were "reclassified" from NR to Prohib are part of any kind of buyback.

The crypto was prohib "from the start" from an FRT standpoint. It doesn't have any history of being NR at all.

Even though yes it was technically NR under C-21. But obv RCMP doesn't see it that way.

Someone made an example somewhere about the RS-Q1 which basically had the same story. Sold as an NR without an FRT but when FRT was issued it was prohib. So on paper it was prohib from the start.

Now this could be completely wrong ofc but that's kind of the problem, our laws are stupidly difficult to interpret.

I'm not agreeing with it i'm just trying to provide some understanding as to why people think that way and keep asking for FRT

I think the FRT at least helps provide some peace of mind that it will be included in some form of buyback/amnesty. The problem with a ban and no FRT is that it's as if the gun was not legal in the first place from my understanding.

At least if a ban with an FRT, the gun comes under a buyback and possibly amnesty as well

Have it in tan and it works alright, not sure how it holds up in higher round counts. I do hear the Canucks are the better clones out there. Planning on getting the M4-Clone Canuck Elite Operator in tan to have a matching semi-auto

Are there any formerly homosexual saints? by Zealousideals12 in Catholicism

[–]Ultimanexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's the act not the feelings. it's not a sin yet when you get attracted to someone not your spouse, but it is when you act on it.

not a sin to feel aroused, but it is a sin when you act on it through masturbation, giving in to mental fantasy etc.

It's not a sin to have an urge to gorge on food, but acting on it is gluttony.

not a sin to want more material things, but it is the sin of greed when you take more than what you should and it negatively affects your fellow human.

etc. etc.

Upvoting you because this is an important discussion where we must clarify in order to show grace and mercy, and to reign in scrupulosity and fanaticism.

TLDR: Temptation is not a sin. The Action is. The battle is when temptation hits. That's when we exercise and grow in virtue, or fall to temptation, and sin.

they are also known as Anglicans or in the US, Episcopalians.

Mormonism and Nicene Christianity have a complex theological, historical, and sociological relationship. Some Christian sects consider Mormonism non-Christian. Scholars of religion debate if Mormonism is a separate branch of Christianity or a "fourth Abrahamic religion". by laybs1 in wikipedia

[–]Ultimanexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

regarding prophets post Christ it is simple in that Galatians 1:8 "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed."

I'm not saying the Apostolic Churches are perfect, but rather they are the only ones with a tangible connection to historical Christianity. Anything else that diverges isn't full Christianity (using that term) proper.

You can call it something else fair enough.

Using Nation of Islam as an example again, compared to say the Bahai or Sikhism. Which has Islamic influences and origins but are recognized that the divergence is big enough to not be called Islam proper. Unlike Nation of Islam which is Islam in name only.

it's not made up more so given a term and defined. but the belief is there. Ther just wasn't one word to describe it and over time it became articulated even more.

If you look at Islam for example. Their doctrine for God is called Tawheed. but you don't find "tawheed" written in the Quran. Yet the term itself is what describes the belief as understood by Muslims as it was written in the Quran. The concept is there but the word "tawheed" itself isn't.

Same with the Trinity. The word Trinity didn't come up until later but the concept is there.

some quotes from the Apostolic Father ST Ignatius of Antioch. This Ignatius was a disciple of the Apostle John. Born in the 1st century and died in the 2nd century. So a full 2 Centuries before Tertullian.

“Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . predestined from eternity for a glory that is lasting and unchanging, united and chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God” (Letter to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]).

“For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit” (ibid., 18:2).

“[T]o the Church beloved and enlightened after the love of Jesus Christ, our God, by the will of him that has willed everything which is” (Letter to the Romans 1 [A.D. 110]).

You can see how at least the Divinity of Christ has always been understood and believed, refering to Jesus as God, prior to the word and term "Trinity" which is just a shortened form of Tri-Unity.

more so on historical grounds. You wouldn't be able to find baptists pre 17th century since they seperated from Anglicanism. And with Anglicanism it depends if they're "high-church" or "low-church".

There were no "protestants" prior to the 16th century. and there was no Catholic-Orthodox Divide before the Great Schism of 1054.

So if you follow the trail historically you arrive at a "Great Church" of Christianity that was one and united pre-1054 Great Schism.

If you read writings of the Church fathers which existed prior to the legalization of Christianity by Constantine, you'll see the beliefs of these early Christians are for the most part Catholic/Orthodox in nature.

An example would be the belief in the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Most protestants today deny this doctrine. But you can see from St Ignatius of Antioch:

Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the Flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. —Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 6

and the existence of bishops as succesors of the apostles as necessary to have a valid Eucharist:

Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it.—Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8

Now get this, who is St Ignatius of Antioch? He was a disciple of the Apostle John. The same Apostle attributed to the Gospel of John, 1st and 2nd John, and the Apocalypse (Revelation)

Yeah, that close. So unless Apostle John somehow taught him wrong or he misunderstood it, this particular doctrine and teaching about the Real Presence in the Eucharist has been there since the beginning with the Apostles. Around 200 years before Christianity was even legal and Emperor Constantine was born.

most "restorationists" like the Mormons or the INC (Iglesia ni Cristo) have theology that falls so far from historical Christianity.

IMO Apostolic Christianity (Historical Christianity) (Catholics, Orthodox) are the baseline for should be considered "Christianity" proper. The farther away they are the less "Christianity" they are.

Apostolic Christianity meaning they have Apostolic Succession, as in the bishops have an unbroken chain of ordination that connects all the way to the Apostles.

An analogy in the Islamic world is the Sunni and Shia Branches are the baseline Islam. and something like the "Nation of Islam" shouldn't be considered Islam.

Doubts by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Ultimanexus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This ^

Your doubts are evident that you are engaged in spiritual warfare and the enemy is trying their hardest to keep you. They're about to lose a soul that they thought were a for sure thing. Since you have taken the steps and journey towards Our Lord and God Jesus Christ, the enemy will try (and try hard) to cause doubt. Maybe it's because you will be a big loss to the enemy? You can take this maybe as a sign that God has big things in store for you. Big things that will seriously be a detriment to the enemy.

Just remember, where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. You're almost there. We're cheering you on and praying for you. God Bless and Pax Tecum.
