Which is Crazy, Jesus or Satan?
Everybody is afraid of being poor and being dead. And every evil deed comes from this fear.
So, it is natural that Christ Jesus who fought with evil and ungodliness presented solution to this issue.
If a man has come to know the solution Christ Jesus presented, he will never be afraid of poverty and death. That can also tell the secret of martyrdom. In other word, if a man finds something more precious than money and the life in this world, he will surely abandon money and even his life in this world.
However, economy in this world relies on the ideology that men individually pursue money and worldly success, and they want money as means to protect their life and enhance quality of their life in this world.
Therefore, they will obey Satan who brainwashes them to love and make money and encourages to do any evil deed to earn money. However, the Gospel reads as follows:
M't:6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mammon can be gained by doing evil deed. You cannot even earn and keep $1 if you do deny doing any evil deed. If there is one man even without $1, your gaining and keeping $1 is a sin. And your spending this $1 for yourself but not for saving the poor man without $1 is an act without love to him and thus can be regraded as an evil deed.
Anyway Christ Jesus promised that no matter what happens to a man due to his lack of money and no matter if he dies in such a state, as long as he believes in God and performs the teaching of God, he will be given eternal life and be admitted into Heave.
This is crazy to modern people, since nothing is sure after one's death. But one thing sure is that a man lives in this world, so that it is natural for him to pursue happiness in this world. And to get happiness, he needs money in this world. So, it is clever and natural to try to get money as much as possible by whatever means he can use. This is the commonsense. However, Christ Jesus said to accumulate wealth in Heaven where it never gets rotten like in this world.
To true believers, this world is crazy. For believers it is real that there is Heaven. And for believers, it is an act of madness to deny God and Heaven but to pursue money and wealth for happiness in this world, while Christ Jesus said that such a man would surely fall into the hell.
So, which is crazy, Christ Jesus who denies money or Satan who encourages to pursue money?
Satan cannot tell that it is God and Christ Jesus is a liar. But, Satan only shows money and tell people to follow him. Satan does not write the Bible for his version, partly because it does not need the Bible to brainwash people. But mostly because God will be angry.
