"he arose, and departed to his house" - Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed



A Park around Tokyo

Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed

A man has all the genes a chimpanzee has.  In other words, a chimpanzee does not have unique genes a man does not have.  It is also thought that a half of genes a man has were introduced into its ancestors by viruses.  However, it is also estimated that only 5% of human genes are active in a man.

So, it may be possible to turn a chimpanzee to a man by introducing those genes unique only to a man into a chimpanzee.

This is one example of possibility that may become possible due to development of science.  In other words, human science may interfere with the nature in terms of biological development of species.

Yet, we need to know all the functions of all the genes we have.  There must be a gene that will enable the human body to suppress or kill useless or dangerous viruses that invade the body.  Although all the human DNAs (on which genes exist) were read out completely in 2003, their functions are not yet completely understood.

Every man has the same DNAs and genes.  Therefore, at least children from human parents look similar to their parents, and do not look like chimpanzees or any other animals.  But what genes are active in a man differ from those of others.

In this context, Christ Jesus has the same genes and DNAs as those in us.  But some specific genes in Christ Jesus must be uniquely on in comparison with others.  But we do not know yet what genes are uniquely on in Christ Jesus.  We may find key genes that established Christ Jesus.

For example, as there had been 80 generation from Abraham to Christ Jesus, there must be 80 special genes uniquely being on in Christ Jesus, since one specific gene might be turned on in one generation.  

Genes on DNAs are transferred to RNAs which then are translated into specific proteins to alter cells and build specific parts of the body.  But almost a half of RNAs are not translated to proteins but function as they are. 

Anyway, the mankind might discover the secret of genes of Christ Jesus in this century or the next.  Then, they may try to create another Christ Jesus.

However, it will be more difficult to turn those Christ genes on or anti-Christ genes off.

On the other hand, it is thought that our mind-set can have an influence on activation of genes.  When we are positively thinking, our objective can be more easily achieved.   A sick person having a forward-looking view seems to be more smoothly cored than other having a pessimistic view.  Genes good for maintaining health and strengthening immunity must be turned on more easily and smoothly in the body of a man having an optimistic and ambitious view.

So, the extremely pure and strong faith of Christ Jesus must have turned specific genes on in His body.

If we believe that we have also inherently specific genes uniquely turned on in Christ Jesus, all we have to do is to have the same faith as that of Christ Jesus.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said: "If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."

Matthew 9    King James Version
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
