"walk with me in white" - A Mission to be Carried out without Money

100 km Northwest of Tokyo

A Mission to be Carried out without Money

Even if you are homeless without money, like Christ Jesus or the Buddha, you can be still saved.

You knock on the door of a house to ask the family for any foods.

The family would observe you to see what person you are.  If they find something holy in you, they would offer foods to you.  Even if you don't look like a saint, you may be provided with foods as long as you look decent, honest, and goodnatured.

For example, you may knock on the door of a household and tell them, "I will pray to God for you so that peace and blessing will come to this house, provided you provide me with some foods."  Probably, one in 100 ordinary houses would accept your offer.  Then you will not starve to death.

And a rumor about you would be soon circulated.  Some families would come to wait for your visiting their houses.

But, of course, some people would abuse you verbally.  Or some might even kick you out.

If you are a priest or a bishop, you have to really live in the above way.  If you are a professor or a scholar in religion, you have to really try such a way of living.

The issue at point is that today almost no homeless persons, whose number must be hundreds of thousands in the US alone, have not been taught this way of living.

Another point at issue is that one in 100 ordinary households would surely accept a homeless but holy person taking a walking tour without money and would give him some foods.  That is why Christ Jesus and the Buddha succeeded in their missions having been carried out without money.

"lest ye die" - For Perfect Judgment

Takasaki City & Takasaki Station, Japan

For Perfect Judgment 

One thing sure is that mankind or any human beings cannot damage God if they are determined to become enemies of God.

God requests people to be good but not to be bad.  This is what every Judaist, every Christian, every Muslim, and any other human beings know.  But none are seriously afraid of punishment they have to receive from God in the case that they do a bad thing.

In fact, if you become rich by sacrificing, neglecting,  and trapping others, you do not immediately receive punishment from God.  There have been so many examples that one can be rich while making others unhappy and unhappier.  Even those who trapped and killed Christ Jesus were not punished by God immediately.

So, those religions teach that bad guys will be punished after death, but none have ever observed such punishment.  Accordingly, none are seriously afraid of punishment they have to receive from God while making money in a manner against the teaching of God.

But by becoming rich while neglecting God's teachings, people have become enemies of God.  However, as they feel, they are not harming or damaging God at all.  If those people are getting rich by harming and damaging others, they must be feeling that they are not at all harming or damaging God.  Therefore, they might be thinking unconsciously that they will not be punished by God after their death, since they are not  harming or damaging God, if God exists.

Indeed, it is as if those bad and rich men were defending themselves in a court from God.  As they are so powerless before God, if God exists, they cannot harm or damage God if they are against God's teachings, so that God should not judge them severely.  God should not punish them and throw them into the hell, if they have become rich against God's teachings, since they are so powerless before God.

Besides, they might think that if God intends to punish those who don't follow His teachings, He must punish them immediately.  But as those bad and rich guys often live long, nobody doubts the idea that God, even if He exists, has no intention to punish them in this world.  And, they think it is absurd to live good and poor during their lifetime in this world while being afraid of doubtful punishment they might receive from God after death.

That is why there are so many bad and rich guys in this world.

Judaism inherently doesn't punish anybody that believes that he can be pious and rich.  The Koran reportedly teaches that Allah can make a pious man rich.  But,  Christianity originally punishes anybody that wants to be rich (probably because Christianity was established by the Son of God unlike other religions.)

But people are rather following Satan who just tells people that money satisfies their desires.  Those who want to be rich all belong to a religion set up by Satan: a religion called "Money!"

But why wouldn't God immediately punish those bad and rich people who belong to the Money religion?  This is the deepest question about the God and mankind.

But the answer is simple.  God wants to fully punish those bad and rich guys so that He allows them to be fully bad and rich.  But why does God want this fullness?  Probably, it is because God is perfectly fair.  Probably...

Specifically, in the court for the Last Judgment for you, there would be no counselors or lawyers to defend you from God, though Satan might poke his nose into the court to help and encourage you.  Therefore, God must have perfect evidence for you to throw you down to the hell.  He needs just perfect evidence.  That is why He is watching behaviors of those bad and rich guys till the last moment of their lives to see as to whether they would repent gravely before the last moment in their lifetime.  Then, Satan cannot object to God's ruling.


Finally, a man who is 100% against God, namely fully bad and rich, will be judged to fall into the hell.  And such a man cannot harm and damage God for His misjudgment, even if Satan wishes so.

The poverty rate of the US is 17% and that of Japan is 15%, while the rate is about 20% in Egypt and Lebanon.  They don't look so different.  But Arab countries have no economic power that can match that of the US or Japan.

In 2008, poverty rate was above 30 per cent of the total population in such countries as Sudan, Somalia, Mauritania, Djibouti, Yemen, Palestine and Comoros, according to the Abu Dhabi-based Arab Monetary Fund (AMF). 

The rate averaged around 19.6 per cent in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco and Algeria. The AMF said it had no accurate data on poverty in Gulf oil producers but said the rate was relatively low. 

Besides those factors, many Arab economies have remained dormant because of conflicts and high defence spending, which was at the expense of development expenditure, according to the Arab League. 

Its figures showed defence and security allocation in all nations have averaged as high as 28 per cent of the current expenditure over the past eight years while economic affairs allocations have not exceeded eight per cent.
http://www.emirates247.com/news/region/how-many-poor-arabs-are-there-time-to-find-out-2010-08-21-1.281752

If you have the Koran, some wealthy members in your Islamic nations, or some strong defense forces, you cannot be reasonable economic powers with effective and prevailing democratic systems.

That is why some Americans and Japanese don't trust Islam.

However, Islamic nations belong to a domain where no capitalism and commercialism are dominant, so that they have a big chance to get closer to the Kingdom of God than the US and Japan can be, not to mention China that has even no democracy.

In this context, Islam must be respected.  But still I have a doubt whether the Koran has been correctly interpreted and applied to their lives by Muslims since this religion was first established in the seventh century, namely about 1500 years ago.　


Anyway it looks very unlikely that billionaires will emerge in the territory of ISIL.

Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

"John the Baptist" - Maximum Ability of Mankind

Northwest End of the Kanto Plane, 100 km from Tokyo

Maximum Ability of Mankind 

You can take three points on one line very easily.

But you cannot place simultaneously three points on a plane that constitute one line.  In other word, you cannot specify three points that constitute one linear line without first specifying two points and connecting them to make one line and then place the third one on the line.

It is a very simple challenge: Put three points on a plane so as to constitute one straight line without first connecting any two points.

None can do it, but God can do.

You can make an infinite number of straight lines each of which shares one certain point.  But you can draw only one straight line that connects any two points.  And you cannot even constitute one straight line by first placing three pints and finally drawing the line precisely connecting all of them linearly.

If you are alone, you have an infinite number of chances to connect to an angel.  If a man and his wife are alone, they have only one chance to connect to an angel.  If you are among three persons or more, an angel never appears before you.

That is why any founder of a true religion is one man but not a group of men.

However, there must be other types of angels who may appear in a mas.  Nonetheless, an angel closer to God must appear only to a man or a woman when he or she is alone, in my view.


By the way, if a plane has coordinates, the matter is different.  Only you have to do is to specify three sets of the coordinates of three points to place them on one line.  God must always see such coordinates in the material space and the spiritual space.

Finally we must be humble, because we cannot even correctly choose three points in the space, even with our maximum ability, while God can place precisely correctly an infinite number of points even in your brains.

The Pappus Configuration

An orchard of type (8, 3) is also impossible. The first case that is possible in Euclidean Geometry is the (9, 3) case illustrated here. This configuration illustrates the Theorem of Pappus: If there are three points (A, B, C) on one line and three corresponding points (D, E, F) on another line, then the six lines connecting pairs of non-corresponding points (AE, BD) (AF, CD) (BF, CE) intersect in pairs at points (X, Y, Z) that are collinear.

To Jerusalem for the End of the World?

One of very impressive maps regarding Jewish people before WWII is the one below presented:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Judaism/comments/2key43/european_jewish_population_in_1939_historical_map/

Germany was not the country with the largest Jewish population at the time.  It was behind Poland, USSR, Romania,  Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Britain, and France.  But, the horrible anti-Jewish movement started in Germany along with the rise of Nazis.

One of very impressive figures regarding Jewish people after WWII is the one below presented:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/a-historical-look-at-the-immigration-of-french-jews-to-israel/

We may as well think that the USSR collapsed around 1991 so as to liberate Judaists from the communist empire.

And, one of very impressive graphs regarding Jewish people in recent times is the one below presented:

http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/original-size/images/print-edition/20140111_IRC044.png

Despite Israels's conflicts with Arab people, the population of Israel has been increasing steadily.  Now, its population seems to surpass the Jewish population in the US.


Now, we had better think whether these trends reflect the fate of the Judaists or the end of the world expected in Judaism.

Jewish eschatology 

Jewish eschatology is concerned with events that will happen in the end of days, according to the Hebrew Bible and Jewish thought. This includes the ingathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of Jewish Messiah, afterlife, and the revival of the dead Tsadikim.
...

The main tenets of Jewish eschatology are the following, in no particular order, elaborated in the Books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel:
End of world (before everything as follows). 

God redeems Israel (i.e. the Jewish people) from the captivity that began during the Babylonian Exile, in a new Exodus 

God returns the Jewish people to the Land of Israel 

God restores the House of David and the Temple in Jerusalem 

God creates a regent from the House of David (i.e. the Jewish Messiah) to lead the Jewish people and the world and usher in an age of justice and peace 

All nations recognize that the God of Israel is the only true God 

God resurrects the dead 

God creates a new heaven and a new earth 

It is also believed that history will complete itself and the ultimate destination will be reached when all mankind returns to the Garden of Eden.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_eschatology#Overview_and_textual_sources

Anyway, Judaists would love to face the end of the world in Jerusalem.  And, if God also hopes so, it is no wonder that Jewish people have been expelled from Europe and Russia to Israel, and they would not even immigrate to the US to become rich.

This era, lasting 4,000 years since Abraham till the establishment of the nation Israel in the 20th century, might really end with so many descendants of Abraham around Jerusalem.

An then, another era spanning 4,000 years might begin with or without Judaists in Israel.

"wilt not leave my soul in hell" - Shakespeare, Newton and Adam Smith

Tokyo

Shakespeare, Newton and Adam Smith

It was interesting to confirm that Newton was closer to Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) than Adam Smith was.

Isaac Newton (1642 – 1726) was an English physicist and mathematician (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. (Wikipedia) 

Adam Smith (1723 – 1790) was a Scottish moral philosopher, pioneer of political economy, and key Scottish Enlightenment figure.  (Wikipedia)

So, it seems to be natural and reasonable that one is interested in literature and then in science and finally in economics and social ethics.

Yet, based on cultural traditions and legacies cultivated and developed by Shakespeare, Newton, and Adam Smith, the English Industrial Revolution led to modern capitalism, so to speak, in a successful manner.  Indeed, the modern capitalism is based on and also supported by freedom in speech, modern science and technology, and analytic economic study.

To judge the modern capitalism, as the fruit of the history since Shakespeare or the 17th century after the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, we have to refer to Adam Smith.

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
by Adam Smith 1776 

Book 1, Chapter 8
Of the Wages of Labour
...
No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, cloath and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, cloathed and lodged... 

The liberal reward of labour, therefore, as it is the effect of increasing wealth, so it is the cause of increasing population. To complain of it is to lament over the necessary effect and cause of the greatest public prosperity...

http://geolib.com/smith.adam/won1-08.html

It is equality and fairness that make the whole society rich or prosperous, or otherwise even worth living.

Put differently, after accumulating products and fruits of literature, science and technology, and economy, mankind has to aim at establishing a society that is fully equal for all of its members.

The answer is equality in society.

Shakespeare, Newton and Adam Smith should be all understood with this key concept.


(From the beginning, every man is equal before God, since He judges everyone with the same standard.)

"How he went into the house of God" - The End of Satan's World

Very Humble Tokyo Downtown Streets

The End of Satan's World

The end of the world is a concept that is familiar to Muslims, too.

Last Judgment in the Qur'an 

The Qur'an describes the Last Judgment, with a number of interpretations of its verses. There are specific aspects: 

The time is known only to Allah.[14]
Muhammad cannot bring it forward.[15]
Those who have been dead will believe that a short time has passed between birth and death.[16] 

Nothing will remain except Allah.[17]
God will resurrect all, even if they have turned to stone or iron.[18]
Those that have accepted false deities will suffer in the afterlife.[19] 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_eschatology#cite_note-14

Even in the Bible, Christ Jesus said that only God, the Father in Heaven, knows when the end will come.

So, this concept of the end of the world is commonly familiar to Christians and Muslims.

But, why, in the first place, must the end of the world come?  Why?  Why cannot they be assured that the world will continue forever with people or believers happy and enjoying life?

Even followers of Christ Jesus, 2,000 years ago, asked Him when the end would come.  They were so confident that the end of the whole human society would come.  But why?

In my theory, it is Satan that is the most afraid of the end of the world.  He must want to know when it will come.  But, as for human beings, whether or not the end of the world should come, they must die someday definitely.  It is the secondary matter for men when the end of the world should come.

Therefore, I think, this is a great game between Satan and the Angels.  Satan was given a time in which he was allowed to exert his evil influences on mankind.  But, when it is expired, the era of Satan should be terminated.  But, Satan must not have been given a specific number of years for his survival.   So, Satan is always worried about if the end of his time is near.

God must have charged some Angels with this matter of the end of the world, since it is so ugly, mean, and indecent that God probably would not like to soil His hands.  The end of the world is so horrible, but it must be also ugly, mean, and indecent, since it is the time when Satan is finished.

So, you had better think that the end of the world is more relevant to Satan and devils than to you.

And, from the beginning, we, mankind, had nothing to do with the beginning of the world.  It must be, in my opinion, a matter between God and Satan.  

Nonetheless, Christ Jesus and Allah issued some advice and warnings to believers about the end of the world.  It is probably because mankind will be involved in the last battle between Satan and God's Angels.  We had better run and hide in the case, though there would be no place to run to and hide in if, say, the moon should fall on the ground on the last day.

"the Holy Ghost was upon him" - Value of Iraq

Around Imperial Palace Plaza, Tokyo (though several years ago)

Value of Iraq

Today the Judaists or the Jewish people in the US (where more Judaists live than in any other countries) speak English but not Hebrew.  So, if a visitor from another solar system comes to the earth, he would naturally think that Judaists are a kind of Anglo-Saxons.  It is a big mistake, since the origin of Jewish people is ancient-day Iraq.

Likewise, you cannot tell that the origin of Hebrews is not Sumerians since Hebrews spoke non-Sumerian language, namely Hebrew.

From the beginning, Abraham had lived around Ur, one of major cities in the ancient Sumerian Kingdom located in southern Iraq of today.  If Abraham had not been of the Sumerian origin, there was no need to specifically write in The Old Testament that he, his father, and his clan had once lived around Ur.  There must be an important reason for that description.  And the reason must be that Abraham was originally a Sumerian.

Then, the story and the history of Judaists or Jewish People go back for further 1,500 years, since it was around the 35th century BC that Sumerians built their kingdom in Mesopotamia.


It also means that all the Sumerian documents should be regarded as holy books preceding The Old Testament.  All the Sumerian myths should be regarded as holy myths for Judaists and Christians as well as Muslims.

And if you accept this theory, you would pay more attentions to and respect for Iraq of today.  Even in this context, the present issue of ISIL is important.  Conversely, ISIL is destroying this historical holiness in Mesopotamia.

But there still remains an enigma: Where did Sumerians come from? 　Probably they came to the Persian Gulf 5,500 years ago from around the Indian Ocean.  In my theory, a big earthquake and a tsunami destroyed their original domain 5,500 years ago, so that they moved westward to the estuaries of the River Euphrates to build the Mesopotamia Civilization.

Put extremely, it is possible that ancestors of Sumerians had lived around the Sumatra Island, though its beyond every commonsense of today.

This was Mesopotamia (Greek for "between two rivers"). It was around 4000 BCE that a people called Sumerians moved into Mesopotamia, perhaps from around the Caspian Sea. By 3800 BCE the Sumerians had supplanted the Ubaidians and Semites in southern Mesopotamia. They built better canals for irrigating crops and for transporting crops by boat to village centers. They improved their roads, over which their donkeys trod, some of their donkeys pulling wheeled carts. And the Sumerians grew in number, the increase in population the key element in creating what we call civilization -- a word derived from an ancient word for city.

"because he knew all men" - The Buddha and Christ Jesus Equally

Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba observed from the Tokyo Suburbs

The Buddha and Christ Jesus Equally

The Buddha was travelling and preaching when he became 80 years old.

In a village he taught truth to a son of a blacksmith, Cunda.  Cunda was so glad as to prepare meals for the Buddha and his followers.  But mushrooms he cooked eventually killed the Buddha.

However, the Buddha knew, before eating the meal, the mushroom was too strong for his aged body.  But he would not reject the food, though he suggested to Cunda that he should not offer the mushrooms to his followers.

Accordingly, the Buddha came to suffer acutely when his band reached a certain river.  So the Buddha laid down and called the highest disciple, saying, "Do not blame Cunda.  I chose his meal as a means with which I leave this world to enter Nirvana (the world for those who conquered all the evil, desire, and karmic laws in the nature, the human world and the spiritual world).  Rather, Cunda should be blessed as he helped me complete my life in this world."

The Buddha continued, "I have taken two excellent meals in my life time: the milk porridge provided by Sujata 45 years ago with which I could reach enlightenment after extreme acetic training and this meal provided by Cunda as my life is approaching the end."
    
We may be allowed to infer that if the Buddha had achieved the great enlightenment without milk porridge Sujata, a decent and pious girl, gave to him, he would not have died from inappropriate foods or specifically some kind of mushrooms (which look like a familiar ingredient for porridge).


Then why did Christ Jesus have to die on a cross?  Had He become the Son of God on a cross long before the fatal incident triggered by the betrayal of Judas?  What relevance was there between His fate and a cross?

Only I can think of is that the worldly father of Christ Jesus was a carpenter.  And, this father on the earth probably made and assembled some crosses for Roman troops to earn money.  And with the money, baby Jesus must have been bred to be a young man who became and worked as a carpenter, too, for some time till He started His holy mission.

So, we may be allowed to believe that we have solved one of enigmas of the Bible with reference to the story of the Buddha.


But who made and assembled the cross on which Jesus provisionally died?  Another secret might lie in it.

"and she repented not" - Half Material and Half Spiritual, Once

Mt. Fuji, Japan

Half Material and Half Spiritual, Once

The human mind itself is an enigma for human beings.

It is not a natural consequence of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms working in the brain.  It works in connection with the spiritual world, since the mind senses spiritual phenomena.  For example, a man may feel something familiar with him beyond time and space, which cannot be explained in a scientific manner.

Before the development of the modern science, people were living in environment they perceived as a kind of a mixture of the sear natural domain and the spiritual domain.  They sometimes felt a spirit, a phantom, or an angel in it

In The Old Testament, angels sometimes appeared to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.  Spiritual figures must have been familiar around them in their daily lives.

But today, the science could explain every phenomenon of the nature.  People know that it is not angels or devils but the natural laws and force that move and change the nature.  Today, even some priests, monks, and other religious professionals take spiritual matters just as items of knowledge.  They don't feel any spiritual force working in the human world.   For them, Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc. are all strange people who believed the spiritual world they cannot feel or believe.   But as knowledge they learn words of Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc. to be priests or monks as professions for better living in this world.

But such unfaithful people might like to think if this universe is finite or infinite, since they are essentially material people who believe only the value of material things and matters.

So, one of followers of the Buddha asked his teacher as to whether this universe was finite or infinite.  The Buddha answered that he would not discuss whether this universe was finite or infinite because such knowledge never saved people.  

The Buddha said, "If somebody was shot by an arrow, you would not discuss material aspects, features, and value of the arrow, but you should give him medical treatment as soon as possible."

And the Buddha made it clear, "That is why I do not discuss if this universe is finite or infinite.  So you must remember that I do not teach if this universe is finite or infinite."

Indeed, Christ Jesus did not discuss if this universe was finite or infinite.  Rather, Christ Jesus behaved just one of those people who were living in the world without knowing the modern science, that is, in the world half material and half spiritual.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all born and established in the eras when people perceived the world as half material and half spiritual.  Accordingly, people today are losing close connectivity between their daily livings and contents of the holy books of these religions.

So, we need a new religion or a new holy book that even mentions whether this universe is finite or infinite to revive connectivity between minds of people of today, who have knowledge of the modern science, and contents of the holy religion.

The Buddha, living 2,500 years ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge.  Christ Jesus, living 2,000 years ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge.  The founder of Islam, living 1,500 years or so ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge. 

But today, we see some or significant use in the advanced scientific knowledge, since mad scientists and evil politicians and business leaders could abuse the modern science to satisfy their sinful desire.  We have to deal with even future science to prevent future disasters caused by irresponsible science and evil spirits.  

But, as you know, this infinite universe is expanding to infinity at an accelerated pace.  Even evil spirits will be finally lost there forever.

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

"I have broken thy yoke" - The Buddha and a Cattleman

Haneda Airport on Tokyo Bay

The Buddha and a Cattleman

A man in charge of taking care of cattle for a owner of them was listening to the Buddha.

The Buddha said that one should not be trapped by desire generated in his mind or toward material riches and he should live avoiding every evil act to reach enlightenment like a tree flowing in a big river to finally reach the sea without being carried out to a shore or being rotten while floating.

The Buddha concluded that one should leave all the worldly matters behind to attain the Buddhahood.  Otherwise, the Buddha added, you would be bound by all the yokes of this world.

So, the cattleman asked to the Buddha to accept him as his disciple.  The Buddha agreed but said, "First, you have to take the cattle back to the owner of them."

But the cattleman said, "Allow me to leave them as they are, since they will go back by themselves to calves kept in the owner's farm."

However, the Buddha insisted: "Yet, you must bring them back to the owner by yourself."

So, the cattleman obeyed the word of the Buddha to lead the cattle to the owner's farm, and then he became a follower of the Buddha.

Later this man left the group of followers of the Buddha to pursue his way to enlightenment to be eventually counted as one of major Arhats, namely those who reached higher spiritual status just behind the Buddha.

I suppose that the owner of the cattle would not help demons attack and destroy the cattleman during his ascetic training to finally become an Arhat.

  
In addition, even today cattle are regarded as holy animals in India.

Jer 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Jer 2:20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
Jer 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

"go into the land of Israel" - The Richest Man in the World vs. an Angel

Tokyo Haneda International Airport

The Richest Man in the World vs. an Angel

There are no rich men in the world who live in the sky.

You may design and produce your own air plane that can stay in the air for 24 hours a day, seven days per week.  Your plane can be refueled in the air.  Foods and other supplies can be delivered to your plane by other small planes or helicopters.  Then you can live in the air 24 hours a day, seven days per week, if you are rich and able to pay necessary costs.

But how much does it cost?  In addition to such a super plane, you must have your own air port and dedicated personnel for services you need in the air.  The costs must be enormous.

But how wonderful it is to live in a flying residence!  Under your feet, you can check the White House, Paris, and even the Vatican while you are practicing putting.

But how much does it cost to live like an angel in the sky till your death?

Living in the International Space Station is not practical, since you will lose muscles and receive too much radiation from cosmic rays.  Probably 9,000 meters high should be suitable as Mt. Everest is 8,850 meters high.

Anyway you cannot be an angel if you are the richest man in the world today.

Mat 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Mat 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Mat 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Mat 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
Mat 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

"but thy disciples fast not?" - What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said

Tokyo Bay

What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said

The Buddha said that there were four type of people.

The first type of people are born poor and lowly but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The second type of people are born poor and lowly but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

The third type of people are born rich and decently but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The fourth type of people are born rich and decently but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

However, Christ Jesus said that the rich cannot enter Heaven but poor people are accepted by Heaven.


If a man born poor did many sinful things, he would most probably become rich.  If a man born rich did many righteous things, he would most probably become poor.

Righteous things include an act of giving all (or some) of his money to the poor and accumulating wealth in Heaven.

So, I once indicated an equation for conservation of wealth:

One's total wealth =  One's wealth in this world + One's wealth accumulated in Heaven


And when you die, all your wealth in this world vanishes away and you have only wealth accumulated in Heave.  If you have no wealth in Heave, you cannot enter Heaven.

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mar 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mar 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

What does Isalm teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?

Jannah (Arabic: جنّة‎ Jannah), an eternal place for Muslims, is the Islamic conception of paradise. The Arabic word Jannah is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world will be there in Paradise.

What does Judaism teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?

Shamayim (שמים), the Hebrew word for "heaven", denotes a component of the cosmos, the other elements being the earth (erets) and the underworld (sheol). Shamayim is the dwelling place of God and other heavenly beings and, in post-Hebrew Bible literature (including the Christian New Testament), the abode of the righteous dead. 

The Biblical authors pictured the earth as a flat disk floating in water, with the heavens above and the underworld below.[2] The raqiya (firmament), a solid inverted bowl above the earth, coloured blue by the cosmic ocean, kept the waters above the earth from flooding the world.[3] From about 300 BCE the three-tiered cosmos was largely replaced by a newer Greek model which saw the earth as a sphere at the centre of a set of seven concentric heavens, one for each visible planet plus the sun and moon, with the realm of God in an eighth and highest heaven, but although several Jewish works from this period have multiple heavens, as do some New Testament works, none has exactly the formal Greek system.

How did Christ Jesus refer to Heaven?

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 

Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 

Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 

Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 

Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

So, if you respect these religions, you would naturally believe existence of Heaven.

But we cannot enter Heaven as a living man.  Only our soul can.  Heaven is not a material world consisting of elemental particles, atoms, molecules, etc.  We have to leave our physical bodies in this world to be accepted in Heaven.

"Mary, and Joseph, and the babe" - God is Miracle

Tokyo

God is Miracle

It is apparent that God exists.

There is no doubt about existence of God who created this universe and more, including the spiritual world.

But why must God exist?  If God did not exist, of course, this universe doesn't exist and hence we, mankind, don't exist.

This is the last question for mankind.  Why must God exist, though without God there would be nothing?  In the case, there is no space and time.  Even no spirits exist.  No angels and devils should exist.  It is total naught.

We cannot even imagine the world without God, since the world doesn't exist and we don't exist.  No stars, no sun, and no moon are in the sky.  And there would be no sky at all.

In addition, though God exists, this world looks incomplete.  Among human beings created by God, there are many bad guys.  In the spiritual world, there are evil spirits.  What God has created actually includes such horrible negative factors.  But, if God does not exist, even no bad guys and no devils exist.  Then it looks like it is more perfect without God.

So, the answer is that the existence of God is beyond our understanding.  We cannot know why God must exist.  And further, we cannot understand why God has created this incomplete world.



By the way, this evening I saw three cars at one location of a narrow path in a city.  One was going to enter a garage of a house on the path; another is going out from a small parking lot to the path; and the other is slowly passing by me.

All these cars have two "0"s on their license plates that have four-digit numbers on them explicitly except that the fourth digit with 0 is not indicated (ex. 67-89 or 1-23).

These three cars have such numbers as 11-00, 50-50, and 6-00.

The probability of XX-00 is 9/10,000; the probability of Y0-Y0 is 9/10,000, and (0)Z-00 is 9/10,000.

And, all the cases happened one time at one location: 27/1,000,000,000,000 or 27 per trillion, or one in 37 billion.

If I see 1,000 cars per day, 37 billion cars need 37 million days, which means 100,000 years.  

Therefore, this evening an event that would occur once in 100 thousand years in Japan has really happened just before my eyes without being known by anybody, including drivers of those cars, since I was only at a position where I could read all these licence plates of the cars.

And if God did not exist, there would be no probability and no possibilities of anything.  Conversely, God exists with all the probabilities covering 100% perfect to 0% of total incompleteness.  I may be positioned at 0.000000001%.
