The Liberal-Bloc deal on Bill C-9 threatens to criminalize biblical teaching in Canada. Pastors, parents, Christian schools, and ministries could face criminal charges for proclaiming what Scripture says about marriage, gender, and life. Stand with us to stop Bill C-9 and defend the freedom to teach God's Word.
The Protection for Biblical Teaching Is Being Stripped Away
On December 1, 2025, the Liberals and Bloc Québécois made a deal to remove the current legal protection for "sincerely held religious beliefs" based on Scripture. Right now, Canadians are protected from hate-speech charges when they express views in good faith based on the Bible. Bill C-9 will eliminate that protection entirely.
This means pastors preaching God's Word, parents teaching biblical truth, and believers sharing the Gospel could face criminal investigation—not for violence or threats, but simply for proclaiming what Scripture says about marriage, gender, sexuality, and the sanctity of life.
Three Warning Signs This Is Already Happening:
1. BC Legislature voted 48–3 to condemn ARPA for holding biblical views — Read the report
2. Federal MP Marc Miller declared parts of the Bible are "clearly hateful" — Watch the video
3. Christians in the UK are being arrested for quoting Scripture, street preaching, and silent prayer
Without protection for biblical teaching, any faithful proclamation of God's Word could be criminalized. Activist groups will weaponize this law to target the Church and silence Christian witness.
Who's at risk: Pastors preaching from Scripture; Parents teaching their children biblical truth; Christian schools upholding biblical standards; Pro-life ministries defending the unborn; Believers sharing their faith or testimony.
Churches can face crippling legal costs. Ministries can be tied up in prolonged investigations and court battles. The process itself becomes the punishment.
We, the undersigned, call on Parliament to reject Bill C-9 and preserve our freedom to teach and live according to Scripture.
We affirm:
1. The Bible is the foundation of our faith, and no government has authority to criminalize its teaching
2. Freedom to preach, teach, and share biblical truth is a fundamental right that must be defended
3. The state has no place prosecuting Christians for faithfully proclaiming God's Word
We call on Parliament to:
1. Maintain the current protection for sincerely held religious beliefs based on the Bible
2. Vote NO on Bill C-9
3. Defend the right of Canadians to live their faith without fear of criminal prosecution
By signing, you join Canadians across the country defending the freedom to live out our faith, teach our children biblical principles, and share the Gospel without government interference.
