Accepted Death of Believers
Christ Jesus said to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves after loving God with all the resources we have.
If mutual love among neighbors in any community is exercised with love to neighbors equal to that to individually themselves, there should come true peace in the community. If mutual love among nations in the world is established with love equal to that to individually themselves, there should come true peace in the world.
But, in most cases, people are afraid of others; people cannot trust others; and people want to first protect themselves before helping others. How can they be convinced that they don't have to be afraid of their neighbors; they can trust their neighbors; and they have no need to protect themselves before helping others?
If a Judaist tries to behave as a good neighbor to an Islamic terrorist, he might be killed by the terrorist. If a Muslim tries to behave as a good neighbor to a Western colonialist, he might be enslaved by the European or American. If a European or American tries to behave as a good neighbor to a rich Judaist, he might be exploited financially. But is it what Christ Jesus demands of us? It seems to be.
So, all the good neighbors can be killed, enslaved, or exploited by bad neighbors. And, they would all die out in their suffering caused by their bad neighbors. And then what would happen? All the bad neighbors should start to kill, enslave, and exploit one another, leading to annihilation of mankind. On the earth, there would be none but the Bible with the world of Christ Jesus: "Love one another."
To a human point of view, it is crazy. We cannot totally accept it. But to the eye of God, it might be no problem. Love He demands has been realized, which is the matter for God. God might think that He has achieved his goal for which He created mankind. Mutual love among the mankind has been practiced by some of them, though others have perished to fall into the hell. He will welcome all the good neighbors in Heaven.
The point at issue is that believers of God or Allah have to be first of all good neighbors to their neighbors who can be their enemies. If such believers should be killed by bad neighbors, they would be accepted by God.
But, if any Muslim killed their neighbors who happened to be his enemies with suicide bombing, can he be accepted and welcomed into Heaven? If any Judaist killed his neighbors who happened to be his enemies with superior weapons, can he be accepted and welcomed into Heaven? If any European or American killed his neighbors who happened to be his enemies with an advanced weapon system, can he be accepted and welcomed into Heaven?
When you die, you have to be, preferably, killed by your bad neighbors without killing them while being a good neighbor to them. This is the very condition Christ Jesus has set for a man to be allowed into Heaven. Accordingly, suicide bombing is an act of madness.
Probably, a million years later, mankind might be all gone, dying out. But, Christ Jesus alone, coming back to the world, might stand on the earth. Looking up to the sky and down to the ground, He might say, "Everything is over with good souls in Heaven and bad souls in the hell!"
And then, God might start to create another mankind on the earth for the sole purpose of making them love their neighbors as much as they individually love themselves after loving God with all the resources they have.
The underlying idea is that it is not mankind that created this universe, the earth, and mankind themselves. You may think all happened to come to exist by chance. Then the chance must be God. Or, you may think all happened to come to exist through an uncountable trials of randomness. Then what has made possible the uncountable trials of randomness must be God.
God must have something that is reflected in moral character of every man, but He must also have something beyond our understanding.
If we are allowed to see even one facet of His infinite aspects, our mind cannot probably bear it. We might go mad.
