"have ye not read in the law" - Good vs. Evil

 Tokyo...Yesterday...


Good vs. Evil

Any authentic religion, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, tries to promote good against evil.

So, it seems that if 100% of mankind becomes good, every problem in the world should be solved.

Even if 80% of  of mankind becomes good, every problem in the world should be solved.

Probably, if 50% of  of mankind becomes good, every problem in the world would be solved.

For argument's sake, if 10% of  of mankind becomes good, every problem in the world has a chance of being solved.

But what is reality?  Look around and think of 10 persons you know.  And, what percentage do you find?  

Once or before the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, or WWII, in any community of any nation in the world, at least nominally, they emphasized importance of education as a means to make good adults out of innocent children.  But, today, schools in advanced countries and advancing countries seem to be used as a means to make slaves of money.  Or at least, children are taught that they can pursue their own happiness if they do obey rule of money but not rule of God.

Indeed, there are so many shameless rich men today who try to provide education for children so that they will serve Mammon but not God.

Q: Amount of education Jesus Christ had? 
A: The New Testament is silent regarding Jesus' "developmental" years. Of His childhood, Luke's gospel says, "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him." (Luke 2:40). 
We see Him reasoning in the temple at age 12 (Luke 2:42-49), then in chapter 3 the narrative "fast-forwards" to Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist when He was about 30. 
Of these "missing" years, Luke's gospel merely says (at the close of chapter 2), "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." (Luke 2:52). The other gospel accounts similarly give no details of Jesus' life between the ages of twelve and thirty.

So, who was a teacher of Christ Jesus?  Or, who could be a teacher of the Son of God or the God Himself?

The Occupy Wall Street movement may lead participants and sympathizers to a very surprising direction.

Anti-Semitism in the Occupy Wall Street Movement 
WRITTEN BY DANIEL SAYANI
TUESDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2011 12:40 
For the past three weeks, protestors of various stripes have made their way to New York City’s Financial District as part of the movement known as “Occupy Wall Street,” a self-described “people-powered movement for democracy inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprisings....” 
In addition, however, the Occupy Wall Street movement has also included a fair deal of anti-Semitic protesters, who rely on classically leftist and communist anti-semitic arguments associating Jews with capitalism, and who are informed by the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rhetoric espoused by those leftist coalitions fueling the Occupy Wall Street movement...
Proudhon is best known for being the first self-identified anarchist, and in 1840, he published What is Property? Or, An Inquiry Into the Principle of Right and Government, which inspired Karl Marx, who maintained a years-long correspondence with Proudhon. In it, he asserted that property is theft, and argued for mutualism, where each person is equally doled out some of society’s “means of production,” with trade representing equivalent amounts of labor, and where religious and ethnic identities are eradicated in favor of global revolutionary fervor and “brotherhood...”
Karl Marx’s anti-Semitism is ubiquitous and is clearly laid out in his 1844 work Zur Judenfrage (“On the Jewish Question,” alternatively entitled “A World Without Jews.”) In it, Marx (whose parents were Jewish converts to Lutheranism) blames the Jews for income inequality (which communism sees as a grave evil), and sinisterly condemns Judaism as a societal opiate which is a mere reflection of “bourgeoisie” socioeconomic circumstances. Marx accuses Jews of being “capitalist hucksters,” viciously perpetuating a nearly 2000-year long canard of Jewish financial largesse, and articulates a position that was later used as anti-Semitic propaganda by the Nazi regime... 
In addition, John Maynard Keynes, whose collectivist advocacy of bailouts, central banking, and massive governmental intervention to “stabilize” output over the business cycle has directed American economic policy in every presidential administration since FDR, was also known for strong biases against the Jews. Keynes, the left’s intellectual hero, infamously stated that “It is not agreeable to see civilization so under the ugly thumbs of its impure Jews who have all the money and the power and brains,” essentially equivalent to what many Occupy Wall Street protesters are spewing. Keynes also advocated segregation, in the same manner as Proudhon and the Nazis. 
When understood that the collectivist left’s towering ideologues saw hatred of the Jews as essential to their ideology of global anti-capitalist revolution, it becomes clear that the anti-Semitism observed in the Occupy Wall Street movement has a blatant historical basis in the thought of Proudhon, Marx, and Keynes, the fathers of the anarchism, socialism, and economic collectivism driving these protests.

The tangible part of Occupy Wall Street might not be so dramatic as the civil wars in Libya and so on.  But, its intangible part might really decide the outcome of the 2012 Presidential Election in whatsoever direction.

Today in a Japanese Diet session, PM Mr. Noda was asked whether he thought that he had chosen right persons for right Cabinet portfolios.

Some ministers are now facing a predicament, bringing all their problems on themselves.  Indeed even in Japan, lawmakers are survivors of stupid games of making money, making their way into voters' and rich men's favor, and hunting positions in a political party or the Government.

A reason why I am worried about PM Mr. Noda is not simple corruption but a some sort of machinations, since he is pursuing an increase in a consumption tax rate while the Government has other financial resources and also he is trying to join TPP while there is no need for Japan to join such a vague and biased international trade agreement.

So, it is safe for Japan to change its prime minister every year.

It also goes for the US; it might be safer for the US to change its president in every four years.
  


Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Mat 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
