"for he was before me" - The Battle between God and Satan over Religions



Tokyo

The Battle between God and Satan over Religions

Christianity didn't start by just preaching that there was only one and single God in this world whom we had to revere.

But it started by preaching that God sent His Son or Jesus who was more than His Son to show His love to us, so that we had to believe God and Jesus.

In Christianity, they have respect Christ Jesus as much as they respect God.  But this cannot be accepted by Jewish people and Muslims, because they think that people have to believe God even without the mediator Jesus.

In other word, for Christians, the words and teachings by Christ Jesus are as important as those of God; however, for Jewish people and Muslims, it is impossible for anybody to have such authority as God.  Jewish people and Muslims can say that they have words of God and they don't need words of Christ Jesus; and it is a grave blasphemy for anybody to position Himself as high as God.  Put extremely, for Jewish people and Muslims, Christ Jesus has become a sinner due to Christians who set Christ Jesus as high as God or regard Christ Jesus as God.

From this point of view, the fact that God has not destroyed Judaism and Islam seems to tell the mind of God.  To revere and believe God, people don't need to revere and believe Christ Jesus.  However, yet the fact that the Western civilization based on, or supported or helped by, Christianity has become the main stream of the mankind seems to tell that Christianity has satisfied God to a large extent.

Anyway, whichever a man believes or does not believe the Christian ideology that Christ Jesus is God, the center and core of any religions is God.  The battle between God and Satan must be more critical than battles between Christians, Judaists, and Muslims.
