someone crying far, so far in vainA Study on Jesus Christ's Prediction of Islam (draft)
(Une étude sur la prévision de Jésus le Christ de l'Islam (ébauche))
1. Executive Summary
One of EEE Reporter's main concerns is relationship between Christianity and Islam. It is a key to understanding the underlying inevitability and mechanism of the human history in these 2000 years and more. Accordingly, such insight would really change views of people on the contemporary world and thus have decisive and positive influence on their thoughts and attitudes in their daily lives as well as in their professional lives.
That is why it is meaningful to present how to study words of Jesus Christ in the context of relationship between the so called Christianity and Islam.
2. Introduction
The human history has been disrupted, partly terminated, and suffering unfavorable, drastic change resulting in a loss of decisive proofs and witnesses about critical, historical incidents and figures. Every word of Jesus Christ might have been really preserved and handed down over generations through oral communications in and around the Vatican. However, a bad tree bears a bad fruit. The Vatican cannot pass a test for qualification and confidence that are required for performing this holy mission of oral tradition and honest preservation of the words of the Son of God. Therefore, we have to rely on the Old Testament and the New Testament, as such a mode and a manner really look like conforming to the will of God.
In this context, EEE Reporter will solely handle the Old Testament and the New Testament but not Vatican's oral tradition. It also means every poor man today can access and confirm the contents and meaning of this argument by EEE Reporter.
In this way, we will verify that Jesus Christ really implied in His teaching the emergence of Islam in later years.
3. The Old Testament
There are many things to discuss on the Old Testament. But, here simplicity will be adopted as the norms for description, since you may be very busy like a CEO, a CFO, a CIO, a CTO, etc. in a prosperous company such as US Boeing.
Europeans and Israelite Europeans have thought that Asians, Africans, and indigenous Americans who do not know the Old Testament are fools and savages. However, compared with Indian philosophy, including Buddhism, and Chinese philosophy and historical records, including Confucianism, in addition to Japanese classical literature, the Old Testament is not so excellent in terms of a level of human thoughts, completeness as a work of art, and depth and comprehensiveness of contents.
(Some Israelite Americans, including a former US Secretary of Treasure, cannot even appreciate difference between Asians, more civilized than Israelites, and indigenous Americans unluckily insulated from the Four Great Ancient Urban Civilizations.)
If literal works on Buddhism are the Palace of Versailles, the Old Testament is that building on No.10 Downing Street. Or Buddhism itself is academy but the Old Testament is a hotchpotch of various descriptions if not holy authenticated and signified.
In addition, the Old Testament had been a supportive means for Israelites before the loss of Jerusalem to promote their religious lives.
After the emergence of Jesus Christ and the fall of Jerusalem in the first century, the Old Testament lost the holy position in both the minds of Israelites and followers of Jesus Christ.
Put simply, we can neglect the Old Testament in this discussion...
4. The New Testament and the Gospel
There are many things to discuss on the New Testament and the Gospel. But, here simplicity will be adopted as the norms for description, since you may be very busy like a CEO, a CFO, a CIO, a CTO, etc. in a prosperous company such as US Boeing...
4-1. Authenticity
If we cannot believe that the God has really allowed for effective recording and reporting of words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel, we cannot logically and emotionally believe that the God loves mankind.
Conversely, those who logically and emotionally believe that the God loves mankind can find effective recording and reporting of words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel.
Put simply, all we need is the Gospel...
4-2. Words of Jesus Christ on Islam
Put simply, the key to this discussion is the expression "the son of man."
Put more simply, as Jesus Christ virtually asserted that He must be called "the son of man," you cannot blame Islam on the grounds that Islam regards Jesus Christ as a mere man, since a "man" is really a "son of man."
Conversely, Jesus Christ predicted that there would be a new religion that would regard Him as a mere man, though, while admitting that He is a prophet.
(other discussions will be omitted here for today...)
5. Conclusions
Put most simply, Jesus Christ made a prophecy of the emergence of, and His approval on, a new religion that would regard Him as a mere man, though, while admitting that He is a holy prophet.
The new religion happened to be Islam some Angels handed down orally to mankind in the Arabian Peninsula, in the east of Jerusalem and at a proportional distance to that from Jerusalem to Greece, around 610, namely some 500 years after the disappearance of ancient Israelites and early followers of Jesus Christ from Palestine and Jerusalem.

* * *
Last night I saw the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry of Japan making a TV appearance. Minister Mr. Youichi Masuzoe is now the most popular politician in Japan.
(I suppose most of Americans do not know any Japanese politicians, which indicates how difficult it will be for the U.S. to be respected by Asians and Muslims.)
He was once an assistant professor of the University of Tokyo, specializing in international politics, especially European politics.
But, now in the second term as the Upper House lawmaker, too, the minister does not seem to be busy writing academic papers. He is busy handling medication scandals, troubled pension funds, dishonest civil servants, swing voters without any interest in academic performance, and almost immoral entertainers, while sometimes making a TV appearance.
The Vatican really looks like Minister Mr. Youichi Masuzoe when he was busy writing academic papers.
The Vatican should change just like assistant professor Mr. Youichi Masuzoe changed decades ago so as to make more TV appearances and reach general members of society for whatever reasons.
If you are now writing a paper on French politics in 1960's in a university or an institute of the Vatican, no general members of society would feel they are respected.
(Anyway, good girls, a servant of voters is far better than a servant of academy. A servant of money sometimes fails like Boeing in its design of a bolt and washer as was proven in a big explosion at a Japanese airport recently. Also, a manservant of selfish passion or selfish family interest often hurts ladies. You had better find a servant of God.)
