We have not been crying wolf. We have not been exaggerating the danger. The unthinkable is now reality in Canada. And it could be coming to America next.
THEN ARREST ME!!!!! I am a true Christian and will continue to follow the Bible in regards to homosexual. It is wrong!!! God created man and woman to marriage only!!! NOT am man and a man or a woman and a woman. I do not condemn them as that is God's job. I will in fact pray for them though. God bless eveyone

Either one of two things:
1) Christians are suffering despite their ever-faithfulness to the Covenant—thus despite rejecting the ways of the nations, being a friend of God and not a friend of the world; ergo, this is persecution. Their kids being taken away is happening despite their loyalty/allegiance to YHWH.
Answer: stay faithful, persevere, continue standing and fighting against the paganism/ways of the world, despite the worldly consequences/hostility, and continue caring for each other in the Way that YHWH Commanded.
John 15:18-20 (NIV)
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

a. John 15:20 John 13:16
OR
2) Christians are suffering because of their unfaithfulness (disloyalty) to the Covenant (adulterous generation), accepting the ways of the nations, including their spiritual customs (becoming friends with the world, an enemy of God). In which case, YHWH takes their kids away from them through the hands of the gentile (not-circumcised-in-heart-to-obey-YHWH) oppressors whom He handed them over to for forsaking Him and His Way, and instead seeking the ways of the world.
(Just mentioning it because my daily chapter mentioned YHWH allowing our opposition / enemies / haters to take our children away for our being unfaithful to Him.)
And the solution was to humbly turn back to YHWH and walk in obedience under His Commands.
2 Chronicles 30:6-9 (NIV)
6 At the king’s command, couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and from his officials, which read:
“People of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that he may return to you who are left, who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 Do not be like your parents and your fellow Israelites, who were unfaithful to the Lord, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see. 8 Do not be stiff-necked, as your ancestors were; submit to the Lord. Come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever. Serve the Lord your God, so that his fierce anger will turn away from you. 9 If you return to the Lord, then your fellow Israelites and your children will be shown compassionbytheircaptorsand will return to this land, for the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.”
2 Chronicles 30:10-14 (NIV)
10 The couriers went from town to town in Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, but people scorned and ridiculed them. 11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem. 12 Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the Lord.
13 A very large crowd of people assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14 They removed the altars in Jerusalem and cleared away the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
Akin to:
James 4:4-10 (NIV)
4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[c]
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Footnotes:
a. James 4:4 An allusion to covenant unfaithfulness; see Hosea 3:1. b. James 4:5 Or that the spirit he caused to dwell in us envies intensely; or that the Spirit he caused to dwell in us longs jealously c. James 4:6 Prov. 3:34
We better be very aware of who we're assimilating to (the world or Our Creator). Ultimately, He is in control of the sovereigns and leaders in a nation and can bend them to favour us, if it is Him we are seeking to emulate and honor in all our ways, or oppress us if we're forsaking Him and His Way.

the current government is globalist and antifamily, if you read the bible god would seem to be the exact opposite even if the churches are not always.

I totally agree, God is all about family and commitment, some churches are not and preach that it is not that important

I....I don't even know how to reply to this. 7-year-old drag queens??? Really? I'm afraid to think about how I would be if I were a child in this day. I was always a tomboy (still am), but society today don't say "oh she's just a tomboy" or "oh he's just sensitive". Now it's "if you believe you're a guy, then you're a guy!" or "it's great how little boys can freely dress in drag!" I'm just sickened by this.
