Canadian Parliament Passes Bill C-9: Does It Criminalize Scripture?

Canadian Parliament Passes Bill C-9: Does It Criminalize Scripture?

On a 186–137 vote, Canada’s House of Commons approved Bill C-9, the “Combatting Hate Act.” The law removes the religious exemption for quoting Scripture on homosexuality, gender and marriage. Critics warn that citing passages in Leviticus, Romans or Genesis could now be treated as hate speech. I see this as a direct attack on Christianity. Liberal MPs and their Bloc Quebecois allies have admitted that certain biblical texts are “clearly hateful.” Without the good-faith religious exemption, pastors and believers risk legal penalties for speaking God’s word. Christians in Canada and beyond must act. Flood the Senate with calls and emails. Pray without ceasing. No government can extinguish the Truth that sets us free.

Could removing religious exemption for scripture quotes really mean someone might face charges for citing Leviticus or Romans in a study group?

True, if the exemption goes, quoting those verses might technically breach the law in some settings.

I get the worry, but it's unlikely everyday scripture quoting will be criminalized. Context and intent matter more than quoting verses.

This Combatting Hate Act seems much broader than past laws, potentially covering personal conversations about marriage or gender in religious settings.

I understand the intent to combat hate, but this change might unintentionally punish heartfelt religious reflection when discussing scripture citations.

Church groups and faith forums should review their study materials now, adapting how they quote scriptures on sensitive topics to comply with the new rules.
