(In New York, four million people, a half of its population, are very poor while some others are enjoying a real-estate bubble game. Japanese, Muslims, and other Asians should not love New York, since there are four million very poor people while some others are enjoying a sinful real-estate bubble game as if without fear in God. Be a samurai in Tokyo rather than a clown in New York.[Sight seeing in Mexico City should be more blessing than in New York City, if still you love the New Continent.])
Could Jesus Christ Read and Write?
(Jésus le Christ pourrait-il lire et écrire ?)
From descriptions of the Bible, it is apparent that Jesus Christ as man could read and write.
(Basically, it is God who gave ability of reading and writing to mankind; thus this question is essentially rude to the Son of God if not for the purpose of increasing people's respect to Him.)
Yet, was He as man carrying the Old Testament with Him? No, He must not have.
It must have been a shame that a saint carried the Bible as he could not get every word by heart, while preaching here and there.
Jesus Christ as man must have stored all the contents in His memory.
So, He did not say to His followers to carry the Old Testament with themselves when sending them out for a mission.
Jesus Christ simply said not to carry money, bags, shirts, and anything but your faith as they were going out as sheep among wolves.
(Therefore, you should not ask anybody who visits your church whether he or she has the Bible with him or her. Pious people should not carry the Bible, since it means that they have not yet stored its contents in their heart.
Your church should assume that people have learnt the Bible well and stored its contents in their hearts.
Otherwise, the church is treating a visitor in a bad manner, as if he or she had not yet mastered the Bible.
Your church should not be a pack of wolves to poor visitors who act as sheep in terms of intellectual superiority.)

To really study how Jesus Christ preached 2000 years ago, you have to perform computer simulation.
In a cyber space, you have to reproduce Palestine of 2000 years ago.
Population, the state of business, social customs, social status, political situations, living of ordinary people, and human relations should be simulated there.
Then, you might discover how authentic the Bible is in addition to other holy new findings.
This project, say, to be named "Virtual Palestine in the First Century," must be started sooner or later.
You may estimate how many computers and software are needed and how much cost is needed.
(If you have to create 100,000 personalities and it costs 100 dollars per month in to create and operate one personality in a computer, this part of costs would be 10 million dollars per month and 120 million dollars per year.)

Jesus Christ did not use His ability of reading and writing in His preaching at all, except for suppressing proud scholars and knowledgeable attackers.
(When He exchanged words with the Roman Governor, did He spoke Latin or Greek? Or, did they use an interpreter? I suppose Jesus Christ could even speak Egyptian.)
He only spoke, performed miracles, and traveled on foot without money with Himself. These are all He did: speaking, miracles, and traveling on foot.
Then, His influence continued for 2000 years.
In other words, His speaking, performing miracles, and traveling on foot conquered the world.
The Vatican should follow Him in earnest.

You do not have to read and write, since Jesus Christ did not use this ability in helping and teaching poor and humble people.
Otherwise, you have to behave as if you could not read and write, just like Jesus Christ. It means you should not be proud of your ability of reading and writing.
There are many people in this world who cannot read and write, to your astonishment.
You must be one of them, illiterate persons, to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Otherwise, you have to carry their burdens; you should not make them feel inferior for that reason to anybody including you.
From a different point of view, it means you need holy permission for your every reading and writing.
By the way, who gave permission for you to read the blog EEE Reporter, apparently one of the most laughable titles due to conspicuously many Es, if I may ask?
(Based on their ability of reading and writing, some people really get smart, earn unpardonable large money, enjoy success, superiority and victory in manipulated competition, accumulate sins in God's sight, harm many innocent people, neglect or attack the poor and the weak, become foolish and blind spiritually, abuse good wish of innocent people, get arrogant and immoral as unpleasantly depicted in the Bible, exercise violence or hire gangs, become a friend of evil-minded people, buy what should not be priced, and die to go to the hell, leaving money and titles in this world.
This is a typical super-rich man's life which has been repeated in the human history so many times.
They have reduced to nothing but dirty ability itself to satisfy their desire, which is no more human.
Reading and writing should not serve them.)
