"I spake to thy disciples" - Great Migration to Germany

Great Migration to Germany

It is honestly unclear where and how Christ Jesus was living, working, travelling, or learning before He emerged on the Jordan liver to join the baptism by John.

It is also honestly very unclear where and how Christ Jesus was living, working, travelling, or teaching after He left the tomb after the crucifixion and the subsequent resurrection.

We can only see, though partially, how Christ Jesus preached in the days depicted in the Gospels.  In those days, probably in a few years, He did not travel outside the region between Galilee and Jerusalem, though infant Jesus was said to have traveled to Egypt with His parents for a year or so.

We should be more concerned about where Christ Jesus headed for after the resurrection, though it seems that Christ Jesus had been in wilderness before start of His mission to Judaists.  Where did He go, though you may believe that He ascended to Heaven with His physical body?  Where did He go with His physical body on the earth?

He must have moved to Damascus or Syria as Paul met Him, though in the shape of bright light, according to a holy book.  He probably moved to Asia Minor (presently Turkey).  From there Christ Jesus probably moved to Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, and finally Germany!

Like Judaists after the fall of Jerusalem in the fist century and Muslims today fleeing Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., Christ Jesus must have moved from Palestine to Germany.  

Germany is the very important place as the great death of six million Judaists occurred around Germany in and before WWII.  Germany is also important as the main terrorists engaged in the 9/11 Terror of 2001 were Muslim students learning in Germany.  And, Germany or regions along the Rhine river was the final destination of Judaists who had left Palestine after the fall of Jerusalem in the first century and moved through Rome and North Italy.  Today hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees and immigrants are heading for Germany and other North European countries.

So, it must not be a big mistake to suppose that Christ Jesus traveled to Germany after His resurrection.

But for what purpose did Christ Jesus go to Germany 2000 years ago?

Probably He decided to go to Germany or the region then called Germania, the east of the Rhine river, for a specific purpose.  Christ Jesus must have helped Germanic people living there keep independence from the Roman Empire, though the west of the Rhine river was conquered by Romans before and in the first century.

Whatever the true intention Christ Jesus had at the time, His protection of Germania, especially Magna Germania, around Jutland (presently Denmark), led to survival of Anglorums and Saxons who later immigrated to Great Britain.  Then much later they became the major people who immigrated to North America.  Put simply, as Magna Germania had been protected from the Roman Empire by Christ Jesus 2000 years ago, the Anglo-Saxon culture, including English, can be today prevailing in the world.

Indeed what God has done looks so strange to the eyes of us.

Mar 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Mar 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

"What question ye with them?" - God vs. Happy Men

God vs. Happy Men

Behind every happy man, there is an unhappy man.

Or, put clearly, an unhappy man is a result of another man becoming happy.  No matter how society gets larger and more complicated, this truth never changes.

Not to make others unhappy, a saint cannot be happy.  Accordingly Christ Jesus was unhappy, since He never made any single man unhappy.

In other word, if you never make anybody unhappy, you may become a saint.  Indeed, every man called a saint was unhappy.  There are no such men as happy saints, since one single unhappy man in this world must make any saint unhappy.

So, it is natural to think that happy men are not loved by God.  Christ Jesus expressed this truth as "A happy man needs no God."  But what does it mean more profoundly: "A happy man needs no God."

Christ Jesus said, too, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

This world implies that unhappy men are hurt on their souls by happy men.  Accordingly, they need God to be cured.

Set a happy man and an unhappy man side by side, then you will see that how sinful a happy man is.  Set a millionaire and a homeless man side by side,  then you will see that how sinful a happy man is.

What happy people need is not God, but the hell.

Mar 9:16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mar 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Mar 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

"Make them sit down by fifties" - Laws of the Mind and Spirit

Laws of the Mind and Spirit

The issue is that there is a kind of absolute law for human mind work.

For example, in the nature and the material world, there are some laws that work absolutely exactly among elements of the universe.  No one doubts that the speed of light is constant at about 300,000 km/h (186,000 miles per hour).  But are there such laws in the space of the human mind or in the world, though unseen, built up by mind work..

It might be a matter of philosophy or religion rather than psychology.

Every non-nonsense religion puts the highest value in goodness and never praises evil.  Love, mercy, and compassion are encouraged and hate, cruelty, and enmity are abhorred.  Common contents of ethics are observed across non-nonsense religions of mankind.

Accordingly, we have to think that there are some laws that work absolutely exactly in the spiritual world that is reflected in non-nonsense religions.  Buddhism is directly directed to these laws.  Though this religion lacks the concept of the sole Creator of the whole universe, material and spiritual, it handles how phenomena in the spiritual world work and what relationships exist between conceptual entities.

The truth the Buddha and sincere Buddhists have discovered can be likened to physics while Judaism, Christianity, and the Islam to biology.  The holy books of these religions express human meanings, values, and emotions in communications with God, but such work of minds is possible only on the laws of the spiritual space.

Indeed, even if we master the truth of laws in the spiritual space like true Buddhists, it would not solve our pains, suffering, and sins so easily.  The Buddha even told that salvation is realized when we abandon everything to be free from negative effects of the laws of the spiritual space.  When we become a kind of nothing, our pains, suffering, and sins should also turn to be nothing.

But, Christianity tells that love solves our pains, suffering, and sins.  We don't have to abandon everything to become nothing, but if we love God fully and our neighbors as much as ourselves.  It is because God created both the material universe and the spiritual space with love to mankind, love is the only way for us to be saved by God.

However, if you don't admit that God is the sole Creator of the material universe and the spiritual space, you have to delve into the meaning of existence of everything, including the universe, spirits, and ourselves.  The most likely conclusion is that everything that exists is meaningless or dangerous for man, as man cannot control them all.

If we cannot control existence of everything, we have to delete our existence that exists in relationships with all the other elements in the world by denying the relationships.  Then we can be really free from everything that exists.  Accordingly, no more pains, suffering, and sins.

However, Christianity teaches that God is almighty and above all.  We don't have to deny our existence if we can establish a holy linkage with God.

God is above the Buddha, since God created the Buddha.

However it does not negate the laws of the mind and spirit.  God is most probably not against our learning Buddhism.

"There are reasons for its existence with everything."  by The Buddha

But for what reasons does God exist?
