"As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger" - Not to Give Money but Promise Eternal Life

Not to Give Money but Promise Eternal Life

Why did the God send His Son Christ Jesus to this world?  According to the Gospels, the God loved men and especially poor men, so that He wanted to save them, and thus He sent Christ Jesus to the human world in Palestine 2,000 years ago.  

Then, what did Christ Jesus do to men and especially poor men?  Did He teach them theology, as taught today in the Vatican, other churches, the School of Divinity, etc., which needs a high degree of education to be understood?

Christ Jesus first showed people miracles, such as healing the sick, proving His divinity and performed sacred work, such as driving out demons.  Then, He told  parables that could be easily understood by any men without education or literacy.  And, He delivered the simple and direct teaching that poor men could be accepted in Heaven so as to be happy after their death in this world, focusing on poor and suffering people.  Then, His teaching was accepted, although with some tragedies due to attacks by Satan, by some Jewish people in Palestine 2,000 years ago, then citizens of the Roman Empire, and later Europeans, and finally by billions of people in the world today.

Put simply, Christianity started with the simple teaching that poor men can be accepted in Heaven so as to get eternal life and become happy after their death in this world.  As a matter of fact, Christ Jesus lived as a poor man not as a king or a rich man while He was living in this world 2,000 years ago, although He could have been a king or a rich man in this world if only He had used His power.         

So, the Vatican, other churches, and any priests should teach only one thing that rich men cannot be accepted in Heaven. Rich men should go into the hells where they would be finally destroyed with Satan by the God.  They have to encourage people to try to be poor as much as possible, so that they can enter into Heaven after their death in this world.  Or, they have to help poor people as much as possible.

If successful, this world should be a place where people are competing among themselves in terms of how much poor they can be. 

Only poor men sincerely and desperately asked help from the God, which must have been well understood by Christ Jesus.  Every kind of unhappiness in this world is a result of everyman's seeking his own wealth and happiness while neglecting others.  Being rich means being evil, since a man cannot be and continue to be rich if he loves the poor and gives enough money to his poor neighbors.  And, Christ Jesus must have found that Satan made people want money so that they will sell their souls to Satan who could make them rich to any degrees, since money is a tool of Satan.

Those who cannot fully sell their souls to Satan are destined to be poor.  They are inflicted and attacked like Christ Jesus by Satan and its followers.  But, it is the God who has the power and authority to allow any men to enter into Heaven and get eternal life.  Therefore, as the Son of the God, Christ Jesus promised poor men that they would be accepted in Heaven where they should be happy and given eternal life.

Indeed, Christ Jesus came not to give money to poor men but to promise them that they will be given eternal life and happiness in Heaven.  Money in this world or eternal life and happiness in the afterlife?  The only condition to get eternal life in Heaven is being poor in this world, according to Christ Jesus.

Mark 1, King James Version

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
