Jay's Blog part Deux

As promised I am following up my last post which I talked about my belief in a deity and will mention the reasons why I believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate. These are some of the reasons why I embrace Christianity. 1. It Was Prophesied In the Old Testament There are several mentions of a plan to redeem man who consistently fall into sin. The old way was the people had to offer animal sacrifices to atone for their sins. This was insignificant as it only covered past sins and was a”shadow of things to come”(Col 2:17.  ) The prophets were told this and pointed people to a coming Messiah or Saviour:        Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear A son, and          Shall call his name Immanuel.                                                       ...

This is kinda of my statement of faith and my attempt at apologetics. Many who read this know about my Christian faith and know how it sharps many of my views. These are some of the reasons why I follow God. The universe is to far orderly for it to have come into existence by accident. The earth will orbit around the sun without falling off course. The stars do not all spontaneously fall out of the sky and all the other planets remain in orbit. Not to mention the sun doesn’t just burn out or disappear and goes out every day or for that matter hurl toward Earth. There is natural law such as marriage which goes back to Adam and Eve and is a universal  institution that goes across numerous cultures. All world religions celebrate this rite and seems natural to the world to get married and rise a family.  Even the gay community have been fighting for this right as they recognize this as universal expression of love between two people. I feel that this had to be designed by a higher...

Earlier this week Canada’s Finance Minister released a fiscal update which has grown to 343 billions dollars and our national debt to 1 trillion dollars. This is up from 34 billion the previous year meaning the deficit has swollen over one hundred percent. This is largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic which shut down our economy and created the need for stimulus for both businesses and individuals. Missing however was any cohesive plan to get our finances back in order. The government may not want to release any action plan being in a minority situation and not wanting to risk defeat. However here ares some predictions of some measures that will be taken: Personal income taxes will be raised as well as the GST likely up to 7% again. Transfers to the provinces will be cut leading to cuts in health care and education. Property taxes will go up as municipalities look for ways to cover shortfalls in income. Corporate taxes will remain frozen neither going up or down. The civil service cuts ...

Things have calmed down a little bit in Ontario,Canada with the Corona virus as we even had a day where there were no reported deaths. As a result business and churches are slowly opening up to the public as well as many parks and beaches. Many municipalities are passing laws that require people wear masks in public to protect others. However, there is reason to believe a second wave may be coming soon. While in most places people have been good about wearing masks and social distancing there are a few places where these guidelines have been ignored. For instance my wife and I went into a pharmacy where virtually no one including the staff were wearing masks and the shopping carts were being sanctioned. Not to mention social distancing was not being practiced. I would like to believe that this was an isolated incident but I am led to believe this is going on more places than we realize. Beaches and parks where they are being open are being crowd by people and social distancing is not b...
