Without Advent
Christ Jesus appeared at a right time in the human history.
It was 2000 years after the birth of Abraham. And significantly it was 2000 years before our era around 2000.
He must have come after Alexander the Great and Caesar of the Roman. But He must have come before the founder of Islam and the fall of the Roman Empire.
But what should have happened without the emergence of Christ Jesus?
In this case there would not have been a strong core in Europe after the Roman Empire in terms of cultural and religious unification of Europeans. Only forces of arms would be the driving force for political expansion of leading tribes in Europe. And a ruler of Europe after the Roman Empire would have been more cruel than the Roman Empire. Such a new dominant country should have a different religion that other European countries which would not have been Christian countries, either. Accordingly armed conflicts among such European countries without Christianity must have been more disastrous than they were actually in these 2000 years in Europe.
Of course such possible dominant countries would have been able to develop civilization and culture which had been first launched in ancient Greece and Rome. But it would not have prevailed in the world, since Europe without a strong core of Christianity should have been one day demolished by Huns and Mongolians.
Judaists would have, however, survived the history without Christ's Coming. They might not have persecuted as they were actually in Europe in the real history. But, they must have been completely neglected like other minorities who would have followed miscellaneous religions. Judaists should have been able to survive but survive as nothing.
So, without Advent, Europe today must have been shared by descendants of Huns, Mongoloids, and even Arabs. The European race must have bee driven to the Atlantic Ocean and to Africa or to America. If so, today white people should have lived only part of Africa and American Continent. And most probably there would not have been the Industrial Revolution prevailing from England.
The world of today might not have been so different from what it was actually 2000 years ago.
But should we think of the power of Christianity only in terms of success in material civilization?
If mankind had been more spiritual, the world must have been different from what the above scenario suggests and what is is actually today surrounded by material fruits of our civilization.
Can we say that we did not need and do not need Christ Jesus in any context?
