We are being bombarded daily with the rainbow accompanied by a mad drumbeat on CBC and CTV daily. What next? If anyone thought the CBC and CTV were unbiased or neutral media not under the control of the liberal left, radical progressives, think again.

Horgan's NDP MLA Josie Osborne was made a minister and her department just gave a grant of 15 million dollars to an environmental organization. She is under the microscope and being examined now for possible conflict of interest because her husband sold some land to the organization a few years ago. The environmental organization is called MakeWay which changed it's name from Tides Canada. This organization was the target of the Alberta government as a oil/energy industry opponent. The organization distributes money to various other environmental organizations across Canada to fight various "social justice" causes. So in effect our taxpayer money is being used to fight for radical environmentalism and against the energy industry and other industries that Canadians depend on. How is it our tax dollars can be used for what are essentially political causes while the health care system is in a crisis and gas prices are out of sight?

After years of doing nothing about the failing health care system in B.C. and 900,000 people without a family doctor, it is time he retired. All I have heard him do is blame the feds for not contributing enough money for health care. But he doesn't seem to realize it is the B.C. provincial government who has the main responsibility for health care. Since Ottawa was not contributing enough money for B.C.'s health care, Horgan should have acted and properly funded it in the meantime until the problem with federal financing is solved. Socialists want to promise every kind of service but they are failures when it comes to financing their promises. Since the Socialists ban private health care they have a responsibility to provide the necessary care, not just ignore the needs of the people as they have done.

Why should Canada or western NATO countries stop funding and supplying weapons in Ukraine, which wants to be part of the democratic western nations? Without NATO and the west's help, a brutal, authoritarian dictatorship may completely destroy and take over the Ukraine and then what is next as it would have expanded it's size and control of the world? Russia, China, N. Korea, and Iran are the great Axis of Evil that are in fact a real threat to freedom in the world.

This situation at Babine Lake with the federal and provincial NDP government signing an agreement with the Lake Babine Band to hand over 22,000 hectares of crown land in the coming years is not unique. There are other similar deals that have been made without the consultation or approval of Canadians. Ostensibly this land will be used to create a logging industry for FN. But how much study has been done to find out if FN will in fact be interested in working in the logging industry and actually doing a professional job of utilizing this land? If they do and it results in them getting off government support, then that would be a good thing. But I am not so sure that will be the outcome. Secondly, why is it necessary to give them absolute title to the land instead of just granting them timber rights for a certain number of years to see what they actually do with the land? FN people are traditionally enthusiastic hunters and fishermen, not loggers. Hunting and fishing is seasonal and does not require the white man's work practice of working 8 hours days for five days a week for around 49 weeks per year not counting statutory holidays. That has always been the stumbling block for FN people. They prefer their own work schedule and only seasonal for the men. The women must work all the time of course maintaining the home and family. So I am not sure how trying to get FN to start a logging industry is going to work. This is just a fact of life and one of the obstacles white people have faced in settling and trying to employ some FN people. Not all of course, but some have trouble adjusting to white man's ways. They no doubt see white man's work ethic as a form of slavery as you must admit it does infringe of one's freedom to some extent. On a smaller scale, deals are being made periodically to hand over control of certain areas without consultation or approval of Canadians or even the non-native populations that live in the region or area. These areas are not FN reserves but are part of what natives claim as "traditional territories", a ambiguous term that covers 150% of B.C. It is a useful term for FN activists who claim the land as their own. Local and provincial politicians (particularly the woke) seem to be aiding and abetting them by their repeated land acknowledgements which are made at the beginning of meetings by mayors and public announcements by politicians at all levels of government. Where will all this take us? To compound this dilemma is an American-controlled forest industry company recently made a deal to build a commercial campground around a tiny lake on Vancouver Island with the cooperation of a FN band and gave the campground an unpronounceable FN name. It now appears that a forest company is acting like a government and creating campsites and handing them to FN. I am not saying the campsite is not a good thing; it is a wonderful campground and camping is a reasonable price, but ordinary non-native Canadian citizens have absolutely no say in this. In essence a foreign company is taking over our land and doing with it whatever they please. It is the principle that is at stake here. What is happening to our land we call Canada and what is happening to the rights of the 95% majority of Canadians who have no say in these things?

The resource extraction is not out of control. It creates thousands of jobs and contributes billions of dollars to pay for your health care, welfare, pension or whatever you live on. The Indian rights/reconciliation industry produces nothing but takes from the taxpayers who will never escape paying and paying with no end in sight.

It might have an impact on me if the federal Liberal and Provincial NDP governments are giving large areas of land to FNs as part of their vision of "reconciliation". It might impact a lot of people in the area who have lived there for all their life and their ancestors also lived there. Also that handover of large tracts of crown land might be repeated closer to where I live and could have an impact of me and my relatives. Everything government does sets precedents that can be repeated elsewhere. So yes, I think it is a reasonable concern. All Canadians should be interested and involved in what is happening in their country at the present time whether it is next door to their town or a thousand kilometres away.

Immigration is just life. Nobody has sole claim to the land. God created it for everyone. You just need to learn there are finer details of how everything must work. Everyone has a right to life, and to the fruits of their labour. Nobody has a right to expect some other demographic to support them forever and give everything to them on a gold platter simply because they had ancestors in a province or country before Europeans arrived. FNs lost most the land long ago when Canada was formed and were given reservations. Now since then there have been agreements to give them more land, but that is not an unlimited process. There are limits how far that can or should be done.

Nothing happened that I was aware of or approved of or had any part of. Lots of my tax dollars have gone to support FNs but I don't complain about that. I just think there has to be a limit and your NDP, Liberal friends are not rational or reasonable about the subject.

The Smithers area is a very advanced town of thousands of people and they produce a lot of lumber, mining in northwest B.C. and lots of dairy farming in the valley. If you whine about them being there, you should prove your sincerity by stopping drinking of milk products and stop living in homes built with lumber from white man's sawmills. Also stop reading and using paper that comes from pulp mills and stop using other products that were produced by white man in B.C. because it was all produced on what natives claim is their "traditional territory". In fact what are you doing here living on their traditional territory?

Again, why should Canadians living today have to pay for mistakes made back in history? I don't agree with a lot of the things that were done to FNs back generations ago, but I and my parents and grandparents had nothing to do with it. How is giving chunks of crown land and millions of dollars to native bands going to be fair to generations of non-natives who live in the areas and work going to solve past mistakes? I don't think it is solving anything. Just creating a new set of problems. We should not forget that reparations for specific harms done in residential schools have been paid and continue to be paid. How far do you carry that? If you go by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations, Canada must give the land back to the natives and pay billions of dollars for everything imaginable. Hardly a realistic proposition. People have always migrated from one part of the world to another. That is the history of the world. Endless generations should not burdened forever with paying compensation for what earlier settlers did. Have you ever heard of the Norwegians, Scandinavians, paying Britain for the Vikings invading the UK and all the atrocities they committed? I didn't think so.

The local people are the non-natives who live around Smithers Landing which is on Babine Lake and others who own cabins or vacation homes there. Also, the people in the town of Smithers and surrounding areas. Nobody knows how this large land grant in the Babine Lake area along with self-government for the Babine Lake band will effect everyone else. I lived in the area for nearly 30 years and know the area fairly well. Lots of non-native people hunt and fish in the whole area as well as guide outfitters work in the area. Lots of Americans and Europeans travel into the area to fish and hunt and stay in one or more of the fishing / hunting lodges. Not exactly sure how this self-government thing will work and whether non-natives will be prevented from using or entering certain areas. Lots of people feel we are all Canadians and the distant governments in Ottawa and Victoria and their bureaucrats should not be dividing people up and creating certain privileges for certain people without consulting with and giving the local people any say. The non-natives get along well with the natives. But distant political outsiders are dictating or creating a new kind of order for political reasons. There are thousands of non-natives who live in that part of the northwest who should have had a say in all this and know exactly what is being proposed. This area is part of the provincial and federal riding area for NDP politicians who seem to have their own agenda and not interested in consulting the local non-natives in their riding.

God is not hiding his existence. God makes his presence clear in two ways. The first half of Psalm 19 makes that clear. quote 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun. 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. unquote Psalm 19: 1-6 kJV The clear evidence of God is the creation all around us. In the second part of the Psalm God has spoken to us clearly through his inspired Word, the Bible. quote 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring} 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. {true: Heb. truth} 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs} 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. {the great: or, much} 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Unquote Psalm 19:7-14 KJV

I don't think you even read the information or looked into it. I have done my part. You have to do yours. Otherwise, I can't see much hope. Eternal life depends on having the faith and faith depends on a degree of understanding of these issues. So unless you intend to have a lost eternity and miss out on the chance for heaven, you need to start learning the truth. The KJV Bible has the truth. The lies from the world could be a hindrance and block a person from learning the truth and way of salvation, which is very much connected to this issue of creation versus evolution. Not much more I can add.

We often hear Trudeau and Liberals toss around the word reconciliation and now we frequently hear politicians at all levels routinely make land acknowledgements at the beginning of a speech or meeting. But how much have we heard about what this actually all means? I recently discovered that the Federal and Provincial BC government signed a three way deal called the Lake Babine Foundation Agreement to begin the process of handing over about 22,000 hectares of land to the Lake Babine band. This band comprises about 2,500 people in about five different FN communities around Babine Lake although some of the communities are only occupied seasonally by a small number of people. Babine Lake is the longest lake in B.C. at about 110 km. and is situated in northwest B.C. I have fished on Babine Lake many times over the years. The people who live in a small community or have recreation cabins/homes on Babine Lake at a place called Smithers Landing were notified after the fact and invited to attend a public meeting in Smithers to hear about this agreement about six years later and make their own opinions known at the meeting. You can watch them raise their questions and concerns on the video link below. This was after the fact. Apparently the fine points of the deal are still to be worked out. The main agreement had already been made between the federal government, the province of B.C. and the Lake Babine band in 2014 without consulting or including the non native people who live in the area and the town of Smithers which is about 90 km from the lake. Of course the people who live or have cabins or homes at the lake are greatly concerned. But it crossed my mind that this may be just the beginning. This is being done under the claim of reconciliation. There is talk by the government that the Lake Babine band will receive valuable timber lands that could be used for logging and hopefully they will get into the logging business. But there are a lot of concerns of how this will affect non natives in that area who use the area for recreation, hunting, guiding outfitters, and other things. Will the natives block access to the area or through the area for one thing? The value of the land plus about 50 million in cash included in the agreement will come to a total value of about 200 million dollars. For 2,500 people that works out to an equivalent value of $80,000 for each man, woman and child. But the bigger question comes to mind. Is this a sign of things to come in countless other communities across B.C. and Canada? Is this part of what politicians mean by "reconciliation" without actually spelling it out. We know the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission are mind boggling and completely beyond affordability or reason for Canadians. Read a little of the 94 calls to action through Google and see the endless demands that are included. It should also be noted that the politicians that make these decisions to hand over large tracts of land do not live in the area and are not personally effected themselves. They have no skin in this issue. It costs the politicians nothing, but could well have unknown impacts on local people, which we do not yet understand.

For the moment, I wish to respond to your point on evolution. In actual fact, it is called the "Theory of Evolution" meaning it is not a proven fact; only a theory. It has been found wanting by many experts and scientists. The book Refuting Evolution can be read online. But the conclusion in the book gives these points. This is somewhat lengthy; so I hope it is not deleted. Otherwise you can go to the creation.com website and find the book online there. There are also study guides to help study the subject. There are a number of topics within the subject which refute evolution. Quote Conclusion This book has addressed the main arguments for evolution presented by Teaching about Evolution and the Nature of Science and found them wanting. By contrast, the evidence for creation is cogent. In particular, Refuting Evolution has covered the following areas in its nine chapters: Chapter 1: Facts do not speak for themselves, but must be interpreted according to a framework. The leading evolutionists are biased towards naturalism, to the extent that many are outspoken atheists. This is especially true of the National Academy of Science, the producers of Teaching about Evolution. Conversely, creationists admit that they are biased in favor of creation as revealed in the Bible. Although they have the same facts as evolutionists, interpreting them according to a biblical framework results in a more scientifically cogent theory. Chapter 2: Adherents to both the biblical creation/corruption/flood framework and the particles-to-people evolution framework teach that organisms change through time, and that mutations and natural selection play a large part in this. But evolutionists assume that the changes eventually increase the information content, so that a single living cell (which they claim arose from non-living chemicals) was the ancestor of all other life. Creationists believe that separate kinds were created, and that changes generally either remove information or leave the total information content unchanged. The examples of ‘evolution in action’ presented by Teaching about Evolution do not demonstrate the information increase required by evolution. Rather, they are examples of variation within a kind, and are consistent with the creation framework. Chapter 3: Evolutionists since Darwin have predicted that the fossil record would show many intermediate forms linking one kind of organism to a different kind. Instead, the fossil record shows that animals appear abruptly and fully formed, with only a handful of debatable examples of alleged transitional forms. It is also doubtful whether one can even imagine functional intermediates in many cases. Chapter 4: Birds are unique creatures, with wings and feathers designed for flight, and special lungs completely different from those of any reptile. Some evolutionists propose that birds evolved from gliding tree reptiles, while others propose that birds evolved from running dinosaurs. Each group refutes the other so convincingly that a reasonable conclusion is that birds did not evolve from non-birds at all. Chapter 5: Whales are mammals designed for life in water, with many unique features. Teaching about Evolution asserts that whales evolved from land animals, and presents an alleged series of whale intermediates. But on close analysis, none stands up. For example, we find that the fossil evidence for one alleged key intermediate, Ambulocetus, is fragmentary. Another alleged intermediate, Basilosaurus, is actually 10 times the size of Ambulocetus although the book draws them the same size. And an evolutionary vertebrate paleontologist points out its peculiar body and tooth shape mean that Basilosaurus ‘could not possibly have been the ancestor of modern whales.’ Chapter 6: Humans are very different from apes, especially in intelligence and language. Teaching about Evolution presents a series of alleged apeman skulls. But the evidence shows that humans and australopithecines are distinct kinds. This includes analysis of the semicircular canals in the ear and the canal that carried the nerve to the tongue. DNA similarities between humans and chimps are exaggerated; the dissimilarities correspond to encyclopedic differences in information. A common creator is a better explanation for both similarities and differences. Proper drawings of embryos show that different kinds have very different embryos, not similar ones, despite the claim of Teaching about Evolution. Chapter 7: Teaching about Evolution presents the usual big bang theory. However, there is no satisfactory evolutionary explanation to explain how the universe could come into existence without a cause, or for the formation of stars and solar systems after such an alleged ‘big bang.’ Teaching about Evolution also discusses the Galileo controversy, but misses the point. The church had adopted the Ptolemaic framework and interpreted the Bible accordingly. Secular defenders of the framework persuaded the church leaders that Galileo was really contradicting the Bible. Moreover, the verses (mis)used to teach Ptolemaic astronomy were often from the Psalms, Hebrew poetry (unlike Genesis) that was clearly not intended to teach a particular cosmological model. Also, other biblical passages (mis)used were using the earth as a reference frame, a scientifically accurate procedure. Chapter 8: Teaching about Evolution teaches that the earth is billions of years old, and uses the fossils and radiometric dating as ‘proof.’ However, there is evidence that many rocks and fossils were formed by catastrophic processes, which is consistent with the biblical framework that includes a global flood. Radiometric dating theory relies on several untestable assumptions about the past, and the methods have often proven false and even self-contradictory in practice. Ninety percent of the methods that have been used to estimate the age of the earth indicate an age far younger than that asserted by Teaching about Evolution. Chapter 9: Living organisms have encyclopedic quantities of complex, specific information coded in the DNA. Interestingly, this is precisely the criterion that would prove that a signal from outer space has an intelligent source. DNA itself is the most efficient storage/retrieval system in the universe. The information it stores is the blueprint for all the enzymes required for life, and the recipe for building the complex organs needed. Some of these include sonars of dolphins and bats, and the miniature motors driving flagella or making the ATP molecule. These are far more complex than anything humans have built. Other structures have inspired human inventions; for example, the lobster eye inspired an x-ray telescope design. Finally, it is shown that the design explanation is legitimate, and that the only reason to reject it is an a priori faith in materialism. Thus, there is good reason to take the biblical creationist framework seriously, and every reason that students should hear the evidence against evolution. Unquote Refuting Evolution chapter 10: Conclusion - creation.com Some main points that should be examined are the Theory of Evolution and the later modifications to the theory do not support the essential processes evolutionists claimed. For instance, there are no transitional fossils that credible show evolution for example from land creatures to birds. There are no fossils or evidence to show life formed from non-life or chemical matter to biological living cells. In fact the evidence leans more toward creation than evolution. The other point is creationists do believe that creatures may modify over time, but this is not evolution. According to Genesis God created the various kinds of creatures. Birds for example, were always birds, but may have adapted or changed to a different bird through modification over time. But fish or animals did not become birds. There is no evidence to support the claim that they did. In fact, if you study the material in the book Refuting Evolution and perhaps delve into it further, you will find the science actually support creation more than evolution. There is a vast amount of information in a simple cell, let alone a living creature. The amount of information in a cell could fill many sets of encylopedias. The fact is for evolution to be a fact, new information in the DNA, RNA, etc. would have to have been added for new creatures to evolve. But science has found new information is never added. Living organisms have this vast store of information that determines how they are structured and function. Only God could have designed them like that. In other words everything required an intelligent designer to be created and exist.

The simple fact is many people cannot afford the high cost of accommodation in the west coast communities. It is up to the government (local municipal, regional (ACRD), and provincial to look after homeless people. It is also up to these governments to provide sufficient provincial parks, and forest service campsites for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Not everyone has the money or interest in the crowded commercial campsites around Tofino. The ACRD and other bureaucrats, local authorities should stop treating people like filth, stop ticketing everyone they can, and start working toward providing the camping facilities for people. They should also be working to provide accommodation to the poor and homeless instead of punishing them and trying to force them to go somewhere else. Tofino has just as much responsibility to look after the homeless and poor people as any other town on the island. Of the total population in the regional district, natives have nowhere near 50%. The ACRD represents the whole region, not just the native villages which in total is a very small number compared to the tens of thousands of people in the region. Therefore they have no right to be 30% of the board of directors which speaks for and represents the whole region.

I am one of the victims of the climate "crisis" and the highway robbery of carbon taxes since 2008. I was robbed of $2500 from 2008 to 2016 in the form of carbon taxes imposed by Premier Gordon Campbell and the BC Liberal government and saw no rebate. Quote How many times do alarmists have to fall for lie after lie … like Al Gore’s claim that the polar ice would melt by 2013; or Obama’s science advisor (John Holdren) said CO2 induced famines could kill as many as a billion people before 2020; or the father of global warming (James Hansen) said in 1986 that temperatures could rise by 7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2020 (but it only rose by 1 degree Fahrenheit); or Al Gore’s science advisor (Michael Oppenheimer) said in 1990 that by 1996 the Platte River of Nebraska would be dry and the Mexican police will round up illegal American migrants surging into Mexico seeking work; or Prince Charles said in 2009 that we have 50 days to save the planet from catastrophe; or the UN climate official (Noel Brown) said in 1989 that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. There’s hundreds more of similar alarmist claims over the decades — but you get the idea — they’re all lies. Unquote Man-made climate change scam - Villages-News.com

Yes, the carbon tax is a flat rate. In B.C. the rebate is based on one's income. So most of the rebates go to very low income people. People that make or earn more than the specified amount, receive a very small rebate. That's the NDP policy. It's a kind of Communist system of wealth redistribution cloaked under a mask of fighting climate change. That's why they like the carbon tax system.

The carbon taxes go up with the cost of gas and diesel. The federal Liberals and B.C. NDP love it because their revenues continue to climb. They could care less about the cost of living for the middle and low income Canadians. The politicians all get expense allowances so it makes no difference to them.

You and millions of others are completely deceived by the U.N. , environmentalists, and left wing governments (liberals and NDP). There is no climate crisis and man cannot control the climate or weather. The truth is man emits a tiny amount of CO2 into the atmosphere and Canada's emissions are negligible. There is no proof this miniscule amount of CO2 emitted by mankind makes any difference to the climate. We are being conned big time and we are paying heavily for it. It is hurting millions of Canadians. quote “The oceans contain 37,400 billion tons (GT) of suspended carbon, land biomass has 2000-3000 GT. The atpmosphere contains 720 billion tons of CO2 and humans contribute only 6 GT additional load on this balance. The oceans, land and atpmosphere exchange CO2 continuously so the additional load by humans is incredibly small. A small shift in the balance between oceans and air would cause a CO2 much more severe rise than anything we could produce.” unquote How do human CO2 emissions compare to natural CO2 emissions?

I still don't buy your argument. As for FN, the board of directors has four FN people representing their interests on the board of about 14 members. FNs are 5% of the population but have 30% of the representation on the board. Makes a whole lot sense? That means the other 95% of the population in the area are not being democratically represented. But the fact that the population of the area don't elect the board makes the whole thing a farce. They are not interested in serving the people when they spend their time complaining and fining people for sleeping in their vehicles and chasing people away from certain areas. They only want people to bring lots of money to Tofino and other places to stay in expensive motels, campgrounds for $55 to $90 a night and eat in their expensive restaurants. If lots of people want to go and camp or don't have a place to stay or the money to stay in the expensive accommodations, then find a decent solution. Stop treating the citizens like dirt and trying to chase poor people away. They have to live somewhere and have as much right as anyone else to live in those areas. Most people do not have the big piles of money to stay in the expensive tourist destinations.

The Bible is the written revelation from God to mankind. That is the way God chose to reveal his revelation. Perhaps if you studied the Bible, the answer to your question might come to you more clearly. But you prefer the answer given to you on a silver platter. That's not how it works. The truth is there. It's up to you to read it. As for Jesus, the New Testament gospels are an account of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection on earth. He was seen by many eyewitnesses after the resurrection. There is no need for people outside the biblical writers to give that account. Also, Israel was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. and probably almost everything written down was destroyed. The early Christians were also outside that area in the first century and the writers of the N.T. survived the Roman destruction in 70A.D. He also performed many miracles which are recorded in the gospels, proving he is who he said he was and proving he is God. 1 Corinthians ch2 explains a little of what we are talking about. quote 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned} 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Unquote 1 Corinthians 2:11-16 KJV You may gather from this that before someone can make any sense of the Bible or believe it, one must have a degree of an open mind or a willingness to learn about what it is saying. Ask God to open your mind. That is about all I can suggest.

This short article substantiates the fact that Jesus did live on earth. References to the fact are also recorded by secular (non-Christian individuals who lived at the time. Two off hand were Tacitus and Josephus, a Jewish historian. It makes no sense to say Jesus should have written Scriptures himself, when in fact, he is the Son of God or the third person of the trinity. As such he is God. The Bible teaches that men who wrote the Scriptures were inspired by God to write them. In the beginning of the gospel of John, Jesus is referred to as the Word. The word is the Scriptures or Bible. Did Jesus really exist? Is there any historical evidence of Jesus Christ? | GotQuestions.org
