"Art thou he that should come?" - God, a Product of Men, or Civilization, a product of God?


High-school baseball game, around Tokyo


God, a Product of Men, or Civilization, a product of God?

Is God a product of human mind work?  Or is the human mind a product by God?

Some might even argue that God is a product of the Bible, the Koran, or religion.  Others may claim that God did not exists until the mankind created the concept of God. 

For example, the sun is not a product by work of the human mind.  The sun exists and existed always on human beings in the sky before and after the emergence of the mankind.  But who ever saw God in the sky?

The key issue is that God cannot be seen by everybody like the sun in the sky.  How could we believe any entity whose existence cannot be seen by anybody?  We cannot see minds of others, but we could feel minds of others through their behaviors, facial expressions, their vocal expressions, etc.  But can we really feel God through natural or social phenomena?

Most of people, including the Pope and other church leaders, cannot feel God beyond reasonable doubt.  However, there are may people, including the Pope and other church leaders, earn money by pretending that they surely feel God.  However, their seeing God has never been proved objectively in a scientific manner.

On the other hand, it is almost 100% clear through long history that men cannot deny the existence of God beyond reasonable doubt.  Nobody has ever succeeded in proving non-existence of God objectively in a scientific manner.

Or should more centuries or thousand years pass till the mankind acquire ability to definitely prove existence or non-existence of God?

Today's civilization of the mankind, which has been mostly driven by Christian or Judaist Europeans and their descendants, is based on respect to God of Christianity and Judaism.  Even peripheral Arabs and other Muslims accept the God of Christianity and Judaism while joining the civilization.

How can the mankind build this civilization based on a wrong concept of God?  In this context, this civilization of the mankind rather belong to God than the mankind themselves.  Indeed, all the Gold and Silver in this world belong to God, in addition to the civilization.   

The mankind cannot even see this civilization from a viewpoint of God as well as they cannot see God yet.

Luk 7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Luk 7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Luk 7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

"Hearken unto me" - Enter through the Narrow Gate


Shinjuku, Tokyo 

Enter through the Narrow Gate

If a dog can think of God, it will assume that God is a kind of dog.

If a cat can think of God, it will suppose that God is a kind of cat.  If a bad man can think of God, he can at most think that God is a kind of bad man.  If an abnormal man can think about God, he must think that God is a kind of abnormal man.

But, as Christ Jesus is a righteous man, He can see that God is super righteous.

So, the Bible says, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it ." 

To love a dog or a cat is a kind of wide and broad way to be reciprocally pleased psychologically.  Bur to love a righteous man or a holy man is a narrow gate to get satisfaction in return, since you must always feel how bad and mean you are while facing such a man.

In other word, do not trust a popular man.  A popular priest is a kind of contradictory expression.  Christ Jesus must have been also a narrow gate for ancient Jewish people, even though thousands admitted that He was a holy man who could exercise miracles.

Mar 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
Mar 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
