Only Similar and Very Similar to be Holy
Only Similar and Very Similar to be Holy
While studying the Gospel, I found one day that it was strange.
There are four versions of the Gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
They contain similar and very similar descriptions about words and deeds of Jesus Christ and incidents around Him.
Indeed, they contain similar and very similar descriptions and only contain similar and very similar descriptions.
Something is wrong.
Something is wrong, since those four books were edited, compiled, and issued by different groups of early Christians.
They must be more different from one another, since Jesus Christ is believed to have lived and worked openly for a few years, which means there must be at least 365 times two occasions for Him to deliver holy words and perform miracles.
In the total of the four books, we must find at least 730 different episodes of Jesus Christ. But, the actual number is far less in total.
Something is really wrong.
In addition, there are no enough collateral documents and materials having been written about Jesus Christ by the Romans, third-party scholars, or even some anti-Jesus Israelites in the first century.
They read that thousands of Israelites got together to listen to Him one day when He delivered historic teaching. But, no one among those thousands seems to have told their children later what he or she had heard on that occasion. No live memories of Jesus Christ seem to have been relayed to next generations among those Israelites even till the fall of Jerusalem in the late first century.
When Israelites were fighting the final battle around Jerusalem against the Roman troops, no one seems to have prayed to Jesus Christ for help, though it was a generation before that Jesus lived and worked openly.
But I also found that there is no such a genius in this world today as can find truth of the Gospel.
Newton, Marx, Einstein, Keynes, and Popes all seem to have no wisdom to address this issue, at least, to the extent to bringing me to reason.
(Of course, there is a theory that the Vatican has so actively wiped out and eradicated, in these 2000 years, all the other types of the Gospel and related records and documents concerning Jesus Christ.)

Wisdom is important.
But betrayal runs faster than wisdom.
It is so, since performing betrayal makes some people feel so clever for themselves.
The most important task in reading the Gospel might be to find what it says about betrayal.
For this purpose, all the four books must look similar and very similar and only similar and very similar.
(You don't have to worry about betrayal, since the Christmas season seems to be starting even around the White House or the Louvre in addition to the Tokyo Bay area.

Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
Mat 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Mat 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Mat 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
