Repent and Repair Defects of this Civilization so Vulnerable to Viruses

There are 7 billion (7 x 10^9) people in this world.  Each man has 37 trillion (37 x 10^12) cells.  And each human cells is supposed to have 10^14 atoms.  Finally, (7 x 10^9) x (37 x 10^12) x 10^14 or 259 x 10^35 (2.59 x 10^37) atoms work in men in the earth.  And, it is thought that all these atoms are the same in their structure and functions.  Or, more than 10 to the 37th power of atoms in this earth are used to make human beings, and all these atoms are the same.

If this universe was created by chance, it must be impossible to allow 7 billion people to live and exist with same 37 trillion human cells, each consisting of 10^14 atoms, although with some variations in terms of their functions controlled by genes and DNA in these cells.

This universe is systematically and scientifically built without mentioning human bodies, cells, and atoms inside them.

The possibility that this well harmonized and sophisticatedly built universe and human beings are created by chance as a result of random trials must be almost zero or zero as much possible as tomorrow will never come on April 15, 2021.   

So, it is natural and reasonable that somebody had planned and designed creation of this universe and human beings, and this somebody must be called the God but not Satan. 

By the way, if all the human beings died of corona-viruses, Satan could not find any souls to brainwash and make betray the God.  So, Satan should not annihilate human beings but want people to love and pursue money and wealth more than the God.  But, the God might put the end to the human history to stop Satan from interfering with God's plan for human beings if He gets angry enough at Satan and human beings.   

However, the God would not so easily exterminate the human beings as He had created this universe and the mankind in such a refined and elaborated manner, although it might be a very easy trial for Him but it has give a chance to Satan to interfere with His some sacred plan.  What's more, He sent His Son to the human world for His love to the mankind.  It is unthinkable that the God cruelly intended to exterminate the mankind with this corona-pandemic in the early 21st century.

However, this estimation does not mean that the God is not angry at human beings for their rotten civilization, so that the God might try to persuade the mankind to repent and change their way to run and manage their civilization.

Indeed, the human civilization is still vulnerable to viruses, which means something is wrong in the current human civilization, so that we have to repent and repair defects of this civilization.

John 4, King James Version
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

"Know ye not this parable?" - 67 Generations have Passed since Christ Jesus with Corona-Virus Warning

67 Generations have Passed since Christ Jesus with Corona-Virus Warning

According to Christ Jesus, 25% of people are ready for following Satan.  Another 25% of people opt for the worldly matters and systems more than God's words.  Another 25% of people love the riches and success in the world more than God's words.  And the remaining 25% of people love God's words to follow the God and set an example of followers of the God, influencing 100% of people in the next generation.

If this series of selection of people continues, there are always 25% of people in any generation who accept God's words and follow the God, although 75% of people in any generation do not accept or hold God's words to follow Him.

In this context, we had better think that only one among four people is allowed to enter into Heaven but other three go to the hell.  Or, four people will be divided into two groups.  And each group consisting of two is divided to two or separately.  And only one in a specific group is allowed to enter into Heaven.

The reasons why three of four people cannot enter into Heaven, but one in four can are (1) Satan directly brainwashes one, (2) the worldly power controlled by Satan dominates another, and (3) worldly desires pushed by Satan capture another, but (4) inherent love for the God makes the remaining one follow the God and help the mankind continue to survive. 

In other words, without god-loving 25% of people in the world, the mankind should perish.

So, it is recommended to teach children that three of four people they will meet in society would surely be condemned to the hell, but one in four might be allowed to Heaven.  The reasonable advice to good children is that a majority of people are bad, and a half of a half of all might be not so bad.

Even in the case of Christ Jesus, only a few among 12 disciples helped next generations carry the faith in the God and Christ Jesus through the Gospels.  And, 2000 years after the era of the direst mission by Christ Jesus, things do not seem to be much improved.  Or, the ratio of believers might be getting deteriorated.            

From a different view, 2000 years mean almost 67 generation of the mankind.  And faith is found only in 25% among every generation; therefore this succession of 25% through 67 generations results in 4.6 x 10 to the power of minus 41 or 4.6 x 10^(-41).

Indeed, as the world population is almost seven billion, 7 x 10 to the power of 9, or 7 x 10^9, the purity of faith must be almost 10 to the power of minus 32 or 10^(-32), which is almost nil or zero.  Consequently, it is no wonder that the God might put the end to the human history.

Conversely, if the corona-virus loses its harming power at the ratio of 25% per infection, it should be almost harmless after 67 generations of its continued existence.  Put imply, after infection to 67 people, the virus should lose its harming power.  If it takes two weeks for one infection (or one person), in 134 weeks or 2.8 years this pandemic should be ended.  So, this corona-pandemic must continue from January 2020 to September 2022.

Indeed, when everyone dies, no evil should exist in this world.  If the God wants Satan to be completely destroyed with extermination of the mankind, the human history might be said to have been doomed to finish at the proper time the God had originally set.  Anyway, 67 generations have passed, the time might really come.  We had better read the Bible as the corona-pandemic must be a warning.

Mark 4, King James Version
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Wealth Making Men Blindly Content Leads to Fatal Crisis such as Corona-Pandemic

If anybody of today met Satan who told them to give any wealth, success, and reputation only if he revered and followed Satan, probably he would accept and follow Satan to be rich and happy. 

Not believing in existence of the God, Satan, Heaven, the hell, etc. should not assure that such a person would reject such an offer of Satan who might disguise itself as a Lady Luck.

This issue has become so critical nowadays as the mankind have become so rich after 2000 years since the first appearance of Christ Jesus. 

(https://www.visualcapitalist.com/2000-years-economic-history-one-chart/)

The increase in wealth of the mankind suggests realization of not only rich life but a dangerous world.  It should be supported by development of science and technology.  The mankind should surely acquire dangerous weapons and other means strong enough to destroy the human civilization.  And this corona-pandemic suggests a possibility of biological weapons.

Development of medical science and biological science would surely bring about improvement of human health and welfare.  But, it might also accelerate danger of development of biological weapons or wrong application of such technology to the human body.

Although today men cannot yet create effective medicines to suppress any wrong viruses, such medicines, if any, must have unseen adverse effects.  Or men might find a way to handle human genes or DNA to be free from dangers such viruses should cause.  But such handling of human genes or DNA would lead to unforgivable interference with biological conditions of human beings. 

Now the mankind have obtained wealth over restriction set by Christ Jesus.  This level of wealth can be only obtained by selling men's souls to Satan, which Christ Jesus did not.  Based on such wealth, men should create dangerous technologies.  For example, as stated, the mankind might start to handle genes or DNA, which might lead to biological crisis if used by evil men or terrorists.  The mankind might develop computer systems that can efficiently handle monetary economy with a possibility of global economic destruction if used by evil men or terrorists.

So, today with this dangerous level of wealth, any crisis can happen.  And, this corona-pandemic is a warning.  It is symbolic that this pandemic was first generated in China getting rich with its GDP increasing.

With unforgivable wealth and success, men would have a desire to be further richer by use of their wealth, in which they would break restrictions set by the God.  In this scenario, men would finally face an unexpected tragedy, which means that the end of the world should come.

This pandemic, where tiny viruses generated in China have attacked the global civilization in such a large scale, is really a warning to the mankind whose wealth has explosively increased in these centuries.        

The fatal crisis or the end of the world should really come when and where people, being content with and blind due to their wealth, never dream of it, like none could expect the corona-pandemic in 2020.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

"Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey" - Not Fighting Satan must Mean Betraying the God

Not Fighting Satan must Mean Betraying the God

It is true that Christ Jesus talked about fear of death, soul, and the hell:

Matthew 10, King James Version

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

His words also imply existence of the God and Heaven.

Followers of Christ Jesus is enemies of Satan who hates the God and Christ Jesus.  Accordingly Satan tries to kill followers of Christ Jesus.  But it cannot kill the souls of the followers of Christ Jesus.  However, the God or Christ Jesus can destroy bodies and souls of followers of Satan in the hell to erase their existence and annihilate them.  And Christ Jesus would say that they should not have been born.

This might look like a fantasy, but to believe in Christ Jesus and the Bible means to believe his words.

Conversely, if we follow Christ Jesus and get saved by Him, our bodies and souls should be allowed into Heaven. 

However, Heaven is not a material world like the hell is not.  We cannot see the God and Heaven in the same manner we see material things and phenomena.  Even when we die, we can preserve our souls.  Even Satan can stop our souls from entering into Heaven.  We, each, will have the spiritual body and soul after death.  Even Satan cannot kill our souls, but the God can destroy bodies and souls of followers of Satan in the hell.  

So, if men could actually see the spiritual world, they should all follow the God and leave Satan because of the fear of being annihilated by the God in the hell.  However, it seems that the God does not want men to see the real states in the hell and accordingly follow Him due to the fear.  But the God seems to see us follow Him without seeing the actual states in the hell.

Those who can live forever in Heaven and others who are destroyed to be nothing in the hell are very different.  Followers of the God and other followers of Satan are very different.  The God and Satan are very different from each other.   Heaven and the hell are so different from each other.

The important issue is that Christ Jesus recommends us to fear the God.  If we are not 100% completely following the words of the God, we cannot claim that the God should love us, save us, and give us happiness, fortunes, and money.  Instead, we should think that the God might be angry at us because of our insufficient belief.

Indeed, we have no qualification and right to demand good treatment from the God.  We have nothing to offer to the God in exchange.  But, as Satan is an enemy of the God, our fighting Satan must please the God.  So, Christ Jesus said not to be afraid of Satan but have fear of God.

In this context, the God might have created men as Its soldiers in fight against Satan.  So, not fighting Satan must mean betraying the God.  If we love money more than the God as we are brainwashed by Satan, we should be annihilated to be nothing in the hell.    

This is a reasonable understanding of the words of Christ Jesus.

John 4, King James Version
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

"as he sowed, some fell by the way side" - God's World, the Spiritual World, and the Human World

God's World,  the Spiritual World, and the Human World

The most important issue for the mankind is whether the God can control everything in the human world as He wishes.  For example, if He can do, the God can at any time put the end to the corona-pandemic.  Or the God might have caused this pandemic for some reason.  Then all the mankind should do is to pray and ask the God to terminate this pandemic.

Based on the ideology of non-nonsense religions, such as Christianity, the God can do, since those religions are based on the belief that the God is almighty and is the Creator of the physical world and the spiritual world.  At least, in the Bible, it is written that the God can do anything the mankind cannot do.

In my view, the God had existed before anything that can exist started to exist due to the power of the God.  Or, from a human point of view, we might say that everything that can exist actually exists as the God wishes so.  Conversely, if the God had not wanted to exist, nothing should have started to exist.  The God is above existence.  He does not need to exist, but for certain reasons, He decided to exist.  And, subsequently, Angels started to exit, Heaven started to exist, the spiritual world started to exist, the physical world started to exit, the university started to exit, the stars started to exist, the earth started to exist, the living things started to exit, and finally the human beings started to exist with their minds that are linked to the spiritual world, in addition to Satan, devils, demos, evil spirits, the hell, etc.  And, most importantly, the human history started to exit, where the Son of the God came to appear 2000 years ago.  

Of course, everyone of the human beings exists doe to this power of the God.  None exists due to his own power, capacity, or ability but by the power of the God or due to His intention.

It is easily understood that the nature moves as the God determined: the stars and the molecules move as the God wishes.  But, it is a little difficult that the human world and the minds of people can be controlled by the God.  Or the human history or any one's life can be controlled by the God.

However, the human world is based on the mass of the minds of all the people.  And every one has the free will.  Yet, it is not inconsistent that the God can control the human world and human minds and every one has freedom of thought and action.

If the  mankind finds reasons why the God has given freedom of thought and action to everyone, while the God can control the human world and everybody, they might simply try to follow the will and intention of the God.

Most importantly, it seems that Satan hates the God while it understands the reason why the God gives freedom of thought and action to the mankind in addition to Satan.  Anyway, Christ Jesus said to love the God as much as possible but not to be loved by the God as much as possible.  We have to love the God, but not to try to be loved by the God as much as possible, although we should be surely loved by the God if we love the God as much as possible.   

While we live in this human and material world, the spiritual world is a mystery.  But if we live in the spiritual world, God's world might be still a mystery, assuming that God's world is above the spiritual world that is above the human and material world.

Mark 4, King James Version
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

With the Faith like Immunity and Vaccine

If you are the only Jewish man in a Christian country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Christians around you, since you do not admit that Christ Jesus is the God.  But if you are the only Christian man in a Jewish country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Jewish people, since you believe that Christ Jesus is the God, which Jewish people deny.   

If you are the only white man in a black country, you might be afraid of being attacked by black people; if your are the only black man in a white country, you might be afraid of being attacked by white people.

If you are the only Chinese man in the U.S., you might be afraid of being attacked by Americans; if you are the only American man in China, you might be afraid of being attacked by Chinese.

Indeed, being only one person with a specific feature in an environment where no others share the same specific feature is dangerous even in terms of religion, race, and nationality.

However, how dangerous you are, if you are the only follower of the God, in an environment where all the others are followers of Satan.  In this context, the words of Christ Jesus should be understood:

"Luke 10: 3: Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."

When wolves, namely followers of Satan find a lamb, that is, a follower of the God, they would attack and kill the lamb.  And, indeed, Christ Jesus was killed, though only for three days, by followers of Satan, in the shapes of Jewish and Roman authority 2000 years ago.

So, Christ Jesus knew how dangerous it was for a follower of the God to live in a society where all the citizens are only followers of Satan.  And, if there is no possibility that any followers of Satan in a city would repent and leave Satan, the God should immediately send a multitude of Angels of Death to the society to destroy it.

But the fact that Christ Jesus sent his followers to this world meant that there was a possibility that some followers of Satan would repent and leave Satan when they heard words of the God or Christ Jesus.  

If you are the only healthy person in corona-virus contaminated country, you might be afraid of being attacked by corona-viruses possessed by others.  And, if you are the only God believing person in a country controlled by Satan, you might be afraid of being attacked by other followers of Satan.  

Now, 2000 years after Christ Jesus, in democratic countries based on teachings of Christ Jesus, you can live in peace and safety, if you have a different religion, different color of skins, and different nationality.  You might not be afraid even of being attacked corona-viruses, since vaccination and other medical measures should be there widely provided.

But, wherever you may go in this world on the earth, an overwhelming majority of people around you might be followers or quasi-followers of Satan, while true followers of the God or Christ Jesus must be less that 10%.  So, we have to still remember the words of Christ Jesus: wolves are everywhere while you are lambs.  But, there are other encouraging words in the Bible: whoever upset you will be punished by the God.        

Finally, we have to go and live in the world where Satan has still an influence, following Christ Jesus, with the faith like immunity and vaccine.

"the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's" - Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Not all the actions Christ Jesus did in His everyday life are recorded in the Gospels.  Not all the words Christ Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels.  And, not all the attacks Satan made to Christ Jesus are also recorded. 

Christ Jesus described in the Gospels was just walking, giving insight of life and the world, preaching about love of the God, teaching how to pray to the God, praying to the God, healing the sick, showing compassion to the poor, and fighting Satan.

He never relished a joke, enjoyed His meal, and talked about foods, clothes, places to rest, rumors about certain people, gossips and small talks, how to gain money and even what He was truly.  And, more importantly Christ Jesus never talked about His family.

So, we might be allowed to wonder what He was doing and what He was thinking in His everyday life.

First of all, Christ Jesus knew that He was under attack by Satan, its devils, the Jewish authority, opposite priests of Judaism, and people brainwashed by Satan.  He must have been aware that spies and betrayers were everywhere, so that He must have been mostly silent.

On the other hand, what were the enemies of Christ Jesus doing except sending spies and betrayers around Him?  Christ Jesus was regarded as an enemy of the Jewish authority, Jewish priests, and Roman troops occupying Israel at the time.  They must have checked His family backgrounds, professional relationships, friends, and enemies.  They must have tried to buy or bribe some of His families, friends, and followers without mentioning Judas of Iscariot.

The consequences of their efforts against Christ Jesus might be even today seen among Jewish people.  And it should be reflected on the Gospels, so that people who became opposite to Christ Jesus due to Satan's efforts were omitted in the Gospels except Judas of Iscariot, etc.  In this context, it is assumed that Christ Jesus was betrayed by more people, including His families, friends, etc., than those described in the Gospels.  The Gospels should depict Christ Jesus narrowly avoiding attacks from everywhere in His human relationships, although they presented Christ Jesus peacefully and safely walking, talking, and preaching.  Christ Jesus was in the middle of battles with enemies sent by Satan.  

Therefore, we may understand why the Gospels do not describe Christ Jesus joking, laughing, and relaxing.  And there is no wonder if most of His families, personal friends, business associates, etc. sold out Him, so that there are no detailed descriptions about them in the Gospels.  

For example, even if Christ Jesus had had a wife or a girl friend, she might have sold Him, so that we may be allowed to think that there are no descriptions of Jesus' wife or girl friend as a result.  And that may be why there are no detailed descriptions of His physical father, brothers, sisters, and cousins and nieces except John the Baptist.  And in this case, compared with those hidden betrayers, the sin of Judas might be lighter.       

Put simply, the Gospels do not report how Christ Jesus was daily harassed, annoyed, and afflicted by evil people brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.   And those evil people might include His family members, friends, etc. whom the Gospels do not describe.

In this context, 50% of people who were close to Christ Jesus or who encountered with Christ Jesus might have been brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.  Enemies of Christ Jesus must be everywhere.  Christ Jesus must have been living all the time in circumstances surrounded by enemies worse than corona-viruses.  

But, the Gospels are presenting Christ Jesus as if He had been living in peace time for a certain care, so that even children can read the Bible.  We should not think that Christ Jesus preached in a leisurely setting and in an easy state.  He must have been always aware that Satan was waiting for its chance to harm or kill Him.  So, there must be more secrets in the Gospels yet uncovered.

Danger for the Mankind after the Corona-Pandemic 

According an old story related to Buddhism, complied about four centuries before the era of Christ Jesus, a field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life destroyed a wild dog that killed and ate other field rats.  

In certain woods, there was a wild dog who tried to gather field rats to eat them.  For this purpose, he pretend to be a saint.  So, he stood on his two legs instead of four.  When field rats saw the wild dog, they asked why he stood on two legs.  He answered that he was reducing the burden of the earth supporting his weight, because two legs instead of four would give less weights on the earth.

So, all the field rats thought that the wild dog was a saint and came to see him everyday.  But when they went back home in the evening, the wild dog attacked the last one of the field rats leaving for their homes and ate it.  Day after day, the number of field rats decreased.  So, the field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life suspected what had happened to those lost field rats.  

One day, he decided to leave the wild dog on his two legs as the last one.  And, the wild dog attacked the Buddha in life of a field rat.  The field rat found that the wild dog was just a pretender, so that the field rat struck back at the wild dog to bite it to death.  Although it is a little bloody, the story tells that the Buddha, as a field rat in one of his previous lives, killed an evil wild dog to save other field rats.

So, even centuries before the era of Christ Jesus in India far from Palestine, people knew that there was a false saint or Satan pretending to be a saint to gather people with a trick to kill them.

In the Bible, there is warning to a false prophet who would give false warning to people:
Matthew 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.         

Although nobody seems to have predicted this occurrence of the corona-pandemic,  if there had been any pundit who had predicted this pandemic before 2020, people might have been easily handled according to his intention as such a man must have gained a reputation.

However, after this corona-pandemic, people would be more afraid of another pandemic than before.  They might be psychologically unstable and get easily duped by false prophets, evil politicians, etc. offering false solutions to people's anxieties.  And, if Christ Jesus does not come as the second time to destroy them, people might be drawn to real danger of losing their souls.

Anyway, this corona-pandemic would open a new era where the fate of the mankind should get at stake.  Even after the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, Hitler emerged, results of which people still do not forget.

22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light" - Through Spiritual Training We Might be Able to See Satan and Viruses

Through Spiritual Training We Might be Able to See Satan and Viruses

To die means to lose one's mind, since one's mind relies on work of the brain, namely, a part of one's body that stops biologically functioning when one dies.  

In other words, a man is not afraid of one's death if he has confidence that his mind would survive his biological death.  And every religion is based on the notion that one's mind lives after one's physical death.  Especially Christianity is based on this notion with belief in the words of Christ Jesus that those who believe in Him could live forever.

However, it seems to be apparent that when one dies, his brain as a part of his body would also die or stop functioning; therefore when one dies, his mind should also die.  But if there is the soul above the mind or above work of the mind and the soul can live, even if the body or the brain dies, leaving the brain and the mind for the spiritual world, our entity can live in the soul in the spiritual world.

It is true we cannot clearly see our own soul above our mind, but saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see souls above minds of people.  Therefore, those saints must be able to see Satan, devils, and other evil spirits that are intangible sprits but not biologically living things.

And the Gospels are reports of the battles between Christ Jesus and Satan, etc.  So, if you do not believe existence of souls, spirits, Angels, Satan, and other intangible spiritual entities, without mentioning the God, you cannot understand the Gospels and the words of Christ Jesus.

If we ask Christ Jesus whether we have souls, He would definitely say Yes.  If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is the spiritual world, He would definitely say Yes.  If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is Heaven, He would definitely say Yes.  And, if we ask Christ Jesus whether Satan exists, He would definitely say Yes.

Even wise men say that what is seen consists of what cannot be seen.  We cannot see contents of minds of other people.  But their deeds and actions are based on their minds that cannot be seen from the outside.

But, saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see contents of the minds of other men.  They must be able to see souls of other men in addition to Angels and evil spirits.  Unless we can see minds of other men in addition to spiritual entities such as Angels, devils, etc., we cannot fully understand the Bible and the Gospels.

Education, training, ascetic practices, etc. should essentially aim at increasing the ability to see what cannot be seen with physical eyes.  Indeed, as a man lives longer, he can learn various things to increase the ability to see what others think in their minds.  Academic or systematic training accelerates obtainment of this ability.  Especially through spiritual training, we might be able to see Angels and Satan. 

For example, we cannot see corona-viruses with physical eyes.  But our diseases and deaths that can be seen with physical eyes are caused by unseen viruses.  So, through spiritual training, we might be able to obtain and enhance the ability to see Satan in addition to corona-viruses.

John 3, King James Version
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

"should not perish, but have everlasting life" - Win Viruses with Medication Working like Followers of Christ Jesus

Win Viruses with Medication Working like Followers of Christ Jesus

How can you prove that you are followers of Christ Jesus?  Even if you are the Pope, it does not mean that you are a follower of Christ Jesus, since the Pope is enjoying richer life that Christ Jesus's.  Those who follow Christ Jesus should not have richer life than Christ Jesus's, since Christ Jesus rejected rich life Satan offered to Christ Jesus.  However, if Christ Jesus allowed the Pope to have such rich life, others should not blame the Pope.  Yet, the Pope should prove that he is a follower of Christ Jesus. 

It is very difficult for men to find and judge that any man has the biggest belief in Christ Jesus and the God and thus has the largest faith.   It is because we cannot and should not try to define the expected faith in the God, since by doing so we are defining the God who cannot be defined by men.  It is close to a blasphemy.

But, if we can prove that we have been attacked by Satan more than any body, we may be allowed to claim that we are followers of Christ Jesus.

In this context, Satan can be a measure of our faith.  The more we are attacked by Satan, the more we might be allowed to claim that we are following Christ Jesus.

The Gospels should be read as reports of the battles between Christ Jesus and Satan.  After various incidents, as is written in the Gospels, Satan could kill Christ Jesus, but finally Christ Jesus resurrected to defeat Satan.

But, Satan knew from the beginning that Christ Jesus was the Son of the God whom Satan could not destroy.  But Satan tried to kill Him when the Son of the God appeared in the human world as a mere human being.  Mad Satan tried to secure its occupancy in the human world, since Satan must have thought that the God had permitted its occupancy in the human world.  Poor Satan must have tried to tell the God to leave it alone in the human world by killing His Son who appeared in the human world as a mere man.  Foolish Satan must have thought that the God would approve its dominance in the human world since Satan could kill His Son as it got angry with the God's interference.  Probably, the God should have assured Satan that it could occupy the human world if men chose to follow Satan, since the human world was so small compared with the spiritual world and Heaven.  

However, the God should get angrier than Satan, since Satan must have done something the God could not tolerate, so that He decided to send His Son to the human world to defeat Satan.  It must be God's love to men.  

In this context, the key factor in the human world is Satan.  Therefore, how much a man has been hated, attacked, harassed, and afflicted by Satan can be a proof that he is a follower of Christ Jesus.

When those brainwashed by Satan see a man following Christ Jesus, they would think that how evil and bad the man is, since he is against Satan who is sacred to them.    

When corona-viruses see human cells not contaminated by viruses, they should think how evil and bad those cells are, since those cells do not accept viruses.  Therefore, corona-viruses would attack those sound cells as if exercising their own justice.

With medication that can act act like followers of Christ Jesus against Satan in the human body, we must be saved from corona-viruses.

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

"Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now" - Suppress Corona-viruses by Reading the Bible as It has a Soul

Suppress Corona-viruses by Reading the Bible as It has a Soul

On  a TV display or screen, we can see everything that can be displayed as we see real things.  But, it disappears when we cut off the power supply.  The TV set functions based on electricity, decoding electric signals to restore original images carried by electric signals.  Our brain works as if it were a kind of TV set.

No chemical compounds, molecules, atoms and any other substances making our brains include our mind.  So, our mind is not material.  It is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated by those substances or materials such as nerves, cells, chemical compounds, molecules, atoms, etc.

Therefore, our mind disappears when our body made of nerves, cells, chemical compounds, etc. stops biologically functioning and working as we die.  It is just like a TV set is turned off.  Like nothing is displayed on a TV screen when powered off, nothing works as our mind in the brain when we die.  So, some people say that there is nothing for us when we die.

However, the people of the past found something called souls in men through their observation of living and dead men.  Our minds disappear as our bodies die, but our souls survive.  Every human religion is based on this notion.

And, some people think that not only human beings but also every living thing has its mind and soul:

Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many indigenous peoples, especially in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organised religions.　(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism)

Even some Japanese of the past found a spirit in a human action.  This notion led to various cultural trainings and arts such as Japanese art of self-defense (Judo), Japanese art of fencing (Kendo),  the tea ceremony (Sado), the art of flower arrangement (Kado), etc.

This material world or universe must be connected to other worlds or universes, which is out of the scope of human science, although some scientists claim that our material universe is actually linked with other material universes through gravity or electromagnetic forces. 

Therefore every living thing in our material world must have a soul that is connected to another world that should be called the spiritual world, although the mankind has its own spiritual world and every other living thing has its own spiritual world. In other words, the God gives a human soul to a human being and other types of souls to other living things.

Our mind is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated in our brain, which disappears as our body dies and our brain dies. But, our mind has a soul. And the God is spirit:
John 4
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The God is not a biologically living thing, but the God exists and lives as a spirit.  Therefore we can live as a spirit but not only as a biologically living thing.  When our mind dies as our body dies, our soul should take over our self consciousness from our dying mind.  And our soul should enter the spiritual world where the God and other various spirits live.  But, our soul might die even in the spiritual world if the God does not give eternal life.  Christianity is concerned with this fate of souls.

A man has a soul, a dog has a soul, a flower has a soul, and even a virus might has a soul.  However, we cannot know what the souls of corona-viruses are.

But as long as a corona-virus is a living thing, at least when it is in our body, it must be controlled by the God or by our faith in the God who is a spirit.  Therefore, to suppress corona-viruses, we have to pray and ask the God to exterminate it.  Put simply, we can suppress it by reading the Bible.

"And he goeth up into a mountain" - Why We Have to Have Faith in the God despite Pandemics and other Tragedies

Why We Have to Have Faith in the God despite Pandemics and other Tragedies

Some people think that there cannot be the God, since there is Satan and every evil thing, in addition to unhappiness, in this world.

However, the God needs Satan to be perfect.  Something that does not include incompleteness cannot be complete.  So, for the God to be complete, He needs something called Satan as something that denies Him.  Even, for a man to understand happiness, he has to know unhappiness.  

However, it does not mean that Satan being incomplete has a chance to defeat the God.  Satan's role is to challenge the God to be defeated, thus helping the God enjoy the status of completeness.

What is complete should include incompleteness as its element.  Otherwise, it cannot be complete.

Therefore the God should allow Satan to exist as an element in its complete domain. 

What is complete should not lack incompleteness to be complete and perfect.  Otherwise, it cannot understand what is incomplete.

Therefore the God should allow men and Satan to exist as elements in its complete domain. 

However, the contents of God's completeness are boundless and limitless.  Satan and all evil things occupy a minimum portion of the domain of God's completeness.  The God can neglect Satan as Satan is almost nothing for the God.  But for men, Satan is a great threat, since Satan's only reason for existence is to prevent men from having faith in the God.  So, to save men from Satan, the God sent His Son, Christ Jesus, to the human world.  This is the basic condition for these 2000 years. 

Therefore, from this point of view, we have to endure our unhappiness caused by Satan for the God.  But what would the God do to men who have sold their souls to Satan for provisional happiness?  As such men are regarded as joining Satan trying to harm completeness of the God, the God should punish them in addition to Satan.

From the beginning, the God created this material world and men for exercising and proving His power, so that the mankind should always glorify the God even if some of their members are unhappy.  A man should glorify the God even if he is unhappy.  The protagonist in this world is not the mankind but the God.  The God did not create men to make them happy but to exercise and prove His power.  Therefore, there is no discrepancy in the facts that there is the God and that men can be unhappy sometimes despite existence of the God.  And Satan abuses these facts.

That is why Jewish people do not deny the God despite having experienced such past tragedies as the tribe, though, chosen by the God.  And, past European Christians did not deny the God despite having experienced so many plagues.  Even Muslims have not denied the God despite having experienced so many tragedies.     

This corona-pandemic should not lessen faith in the God among believers.  The corona-pandemic has never harmed the God.  And how much the God would save men from viruses depends on the God, taking into account the state of men's faith in the God and men's acceptance of Satan.

Without viruses bringing some useful elements into men's DNAs and genes, the mankind could not have been established through evolution.  And without unhappiness and tragedies Satan has brought into men's livings, the mankind cannot contribute to completeness of the God.  So, we should not blame the God for our unhappiness and tragedies.  What is complete should include what is incomplete.  Even for us to be completely happy, we have to know unhappiness.

But what would happen if the God stops being complete?  Even if the God retreats from the domain of completeness and incompleteness, the God must be still more than being complete; there are no problems for the God.  But in that case, how poor the mankind should be, without mentioning Satan?  In this context, unhappiness and tragedies are part of God's love to exist in the domain of completeness and incompleteness.  Indeed, if the God closed the domain of completeness/incompleteness, both men and Satan should not be able to exist or should lose the ground for existence; they are of no use for the God.  

And, if we die in the corona-pandemic, we can be given eternal life by Christ Jesus as long as we have faith in the God.

"For he had healed many" - Satan's Influence like Corona-Viruses

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo, 100 Km Far, Westward

Satan's Influence like Corona-Viruses

The Gospels are reports on the battle between Christ Jesus and Satan, since the battle against Satan and its demons is the most important thing for the mankind. 

As Satan was against the God, when it found that the God was going to send His Son to the human world, Satan immediately decided to destroy the God's plan.  So, a Gospel told that a Jewish king tried to kill the baby Jesus, probably, as the king was influenced by Satan.

Satan waited for Jesus to grow.  But it must have made various tricks to impede sound growth of Jesus, which are not written in the Gospels.  And, in the process of Satan's interference on Jesus's life, the biological father Joseph must have been lost, probably, in fierce battles, which are not also written in the Gospels.

And finally, when Christ Jesus decided to save the world, get prepared for the mission, and go to the wilderness of the desert for purifying Himself, Satan came to destroy Christ Jesus with temptations:

Matthew 4
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

First of all, Satan and the devils were liars, which Christ Jesus knew well, so that He must have been laughing at them in His mind.  Christ Jesus knew that the God was the creator of the universe and the world.  The God could give all the kingdoms of the world to Christ Jesus at any time.  But, for some profound or sacred reasons, the God had not set Christ Jesus as the emperor of the kingdoms of the world.

But, Christ Jesus had to learn a man's desire to be a king.  As Christ Jesus knew that the God would set Him as a king any time soon only if He asked so, He must have not known or understood such a desire.  Christ Jesus was a hidden king.  Therefore, it is indeed laughable that the devil offered the status of king to Christ Jesus who was a potential king.  But, with the devil's world, Christ Jesus must have learned that a man would fall down and worship even Satan if he could be a king. 

Through this communication with the devil, Christ Jesus must have learnt man's desires and how Satan used these desires to make men its slaves.

On Satan's side, it must have not expected that Christ Jesus would accept his foolish temptations and stupid offer.  But Satan must have thought that it could hurt Christ Jesus' pride as such an act of temptation by the devil meant that the devil saw human desires in Christ Jesus or Christ Jesus having human desires.  If Christ Jesus had been psychologically hurt as He had looked like an ordinary mean man to the devil, Satan should have been glad.

In other words, Satan must have known from the beginning that it would fail to tempt Christ Jesus, but it must have thought that it could hurt Christ Jesus's pride by offering such foolish proposals.  Satan must have wanted to tell Christ Jesus that now that He was a mere man, he should want to be a king.  And, Satan must have wanted to see what the God would do if Christ Jesus asked the status of a king from the God.  Would the God recall Christ Jesus from the world?

However, Christ Jesus decided to live as a mere man, which must have alarmed Satan.  The God had allowed men to have a desire to be a king.  But, the God seemed to expect His Son to live as a mere man.  It was against the paradigm of Satan who expected to fight Christ Jesus as a king.  Satan wanted at least to behave like a god who had authority to set a man as a king.  But its poor show was simply broken by Christ Jesus.  Satan was not only making fun of Christ Jesus but also of the God.  Therefore, Christ Jesus got angry, and the devil disappeared.          　

In this way, the Gospels tell how Satan tried to make fun of the God through attacking His Son Christ Jesus.  But, Satan's battle against the God is still going on after 2000 years since the first mission of Christ Jesus.

Satan's devils are everywhere even today.  They must be more widespread than corona-viruses.  It is as if the God had sent the Angel of Death with corona-viruses to the human world to have the mankind realize how widespread Satan's influence is.

10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

"who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" - Worldly Wise and Strong but Foolish and Weak in the Spiritual World

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo over 100 Km

Worldly Wise and Strong but Foolish and Weak in the Spiritual World

There is an impressive teaching in the Bible:
1 Corinthians 1
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

People following Satan, pursuing wealth and money and wishing for worldly success, cannot understand the need to accept the teaching of the God and live in poverty, humbleness, and self-sacrifice.  Therefore, they have more worldly wisdom, power, and influence than those following the God and Christ Jesus.  So, to such worldly people, followers of Christ Jesus look foolish.

Those worldly people think that those followers of Christ Jesus are wrong and evil as they do not follow teachings of Satan.  Those worldly people are brainwashed by Satan to respect and trust teachings of Satan, so that to their eyes follows of Christ Jesus look bad and evil as they are against Satan.  This is a completely crazy world where followers of the God are regarded as being evil, since they do not respect and follow Satan.

The world today is close to this crazy world, since almost everybody wishes for money with which Satan controls people.       

However, the God is the lord of the mankind and the king over this world and the spiritual world, thus He can defeat Satan at any time.  Therefore, those followers of Satan who became rich and powerful would finally die and go to the hell.  Even in their life in this world, they could be abandoned even by Satan who should laugh at them losing everything in this world or in life after death.

Indeed, those following Satan and pursuing money think that those following the God and Christ Jesus and accepting poverty are foolish.  But finally, Satan followers would be rejected at Heaven, but followers of the God and Christ Jesus would be accepted in Heaven. 

And any weak men admitted into Heaven should turn to be stronger than any worldly strong men falling into the hell.

In this context, kings, presidents, billionaires, pundits, notable and successful men, etc. in this world would be foolish and weak in the spiritual world, while homeless, low-income people, people without academic backgrounds and social status, etc. would be wise and strong in Heaven.
