Be Poor as the God Requests

Satan says people to be rich, but Christ Jesus said people to be poor.

Whichever you follow, Satan or Christ Jesus, you will surely go to the spirit world after death in this material world.  The knowledge that souls of men survive physical death in this world will not change our decisions and attitudes.  But, the faith that rich men cannot be accepted in Heaven after death must be good news to poor men, since there is the teaching of Jesus Christ that the poor will be accepted in Heaven after their physical death in this world and they will be given happy life and eternal life there.

This is the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  But, people in the world still continue to love wealth and money despite the teachings of Christ Jesus.  There must be many people in this world who will neglect, betray, or help killing of any holy men including Christ Jesus so as to be rich.  Indeed, earning money and big money, accumulating wealth, becoming materially happy and successful, and obtaining social power as much as possible are what most of people want to achieve in this world.  But those poor and desperate in this world without hope of getting better lives while they are living in this world should console themselves through believing in the teachings of Christ Jesus.       

The difference between Heaven and the hells is liked with the difference between good and evil.  And, the difference between good and evil is linked with the difference between poor and rich.

To understand this simple truth, the mankind might need about 2,000 years since the death of Christ Jesus.

So, now must be the time to love poverty but not wealth so as to promote good over evil, so that we can be accepted in Heaven.

There are many creeds, ideologies, assertions, and theories about the teachings of Christ Jesus or Christianity.  But, in summary, we have to love the God and become poor as He requests.

Luke 2, King James Version

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

"the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins" - Truth of Christianity

Truth of Christianity 

Christianity is a religion originally established to save the world by saving poor people through the teaching of Christ Jesus that poor men are welcomed in Heaven after death in this world.

From the beginning, saving the world can have a true meaning when poor men are saved, since rich men do not have a need or a request to save the world as they have been always saved in this world.  Rich men should rather want to keep the current status of the world as it is.

And, if poor men knew that there was the afterlife, the knowledge alone would not save them, since they might fall into the hells after death in this world.  The knowledge about the afterlife or the spirit alone cannot save the poor.

But, when poor men get convinced that they will be accepted and welcomed in Heaven after death in this world, they will be saved, and thus the world will be saved.

The key to this issue is that it was the Son of the God that taught poor men this truth.  Indeed, by understanding that the Son of the God assures them that poor men will enter into Heaven and obtain eternal life and happiness, poor men will be saved spiritually, no matter how much they are suffering in this world.

Rich men have been already materially and emotionally saved in this world.  So, for a holy man to save the world, he should save poor men.  Therefore, Christ Jesus, as a holy man, tried to save the world by saving the poor.

And, saving a man means saving his soul.  No matter how much wealth a man has in this world, it is useless and helpless if he cannot enter into Heaven after his death in this world.  However, no matter how poor a man is in this world, he will be saved if he is allowed to enter into Heaven and live happily forever there.     

This is Christianity.  So, every Christian has to be poor.  In other words, only through poverty one can see true meaning of the teachings of Christ Jesus and the God.

However, Satan trying to prevent this teaching of Christ Jesus is making people love wealth and money more than love to Christ Jesus and the God.  Satan falsely teaches people that rich men in this world can live rich in the afterlife, so that people do not have to be poor in this world.  Therefore, it is useless for men simply to have a knowledge that there is the afterlife and human souls live in the spirit world after death in this world.  Even Satan can brainwash people with the spiritual ability.   For rich men brainwashed by Satan, any knowledge about the spirit world or the afterlife is just another knowledge that is useless for his wealth.  But, for poor men, the knowledge that they are surely accepted in Heaven after their death in this world is really Good News.  And, Christianity is a religion to teach this truth to poor men.

Believing in this truth about the relation between poverty in this world and Heaven in the spirit world is believing in Christianity.  Other matters can be neglected by faithful and poor Christians.

Mark 2, King James Version

7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Many Religions but One True Teaching and One Preferable Religion

People know that Christ Jesus came to the human world to save the world and the mankind with love, although some are indifferent with Him or Christianity since He did not come with promise of wealth or worldly power that changed the society.

On the other hand, there are many new religions that offer promise of wealth to people and pursue political power. Some religions even advertise that their founders have spiritual or supernatural power to make people believe that they are holy. Indeed, in Japan there are about 190,000 religious corporations.  And among the religious corporations registered in and managed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 477 are related to Buddhism, 327 are Christianity related, 212 Shintoism related, and 119 others.  Although most Japanese are thought to be non-religion, the total number of members of all the religious bodies in Japan surpasses the population of Japan.  

In other words, Japanese people think that any religions that pay respect to gods or spirits and have spiritual or supernatural power should be worth respecting.  However, the concept that there is the only one God in this world and the spirit world as the sole creator of everything material and spiritual is a kind of foreign concept to the Japanese.  Even, Christ Jesus is regarded as one of gods like the Buddha in some Japanese religions.

But, what is true Christianity?  First, it tells that souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits.  Second, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells.  Thirdly, good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.  Therefore, poor and faithful men in this world should not be afraid of death but rather should be rejoiced for their promised happiness in Heaven.  This is what Christ Jesus taught people.  Therefore, everybody should try to be poor as much as possible to get eternal happy life in Heaven.  But, Satan brainwashes people to pursue worldly and material happiness that Christ Jesus did not promise.      

All the problems in the human world arise from people's unbelief in the teaching of Christ Jesus: souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells, and good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.

But, if you believe in Christ Jesus, you should surely hate Satan, worldly wealth and money, worldly success and happiness, etc.  True wealth and happiness can be only obtained in Heaven after bodily death in this world.  

From this standpoint, any religions that admit this teaching of Christ Jesus can be overlooked.  However, a religion established for fight against Satan may be preferable.

Genesis 2, King James Version

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
