"he that layeth up treasure for himself" - Belief or Proof that Christ Jesus is the God

Belief or Proof that Christ Jesus is the God

It cannot be denied that the God may appear before men as one of them, since the God is almighty.

So, it is difficult to deny the belief of Christians that Christ Jesus was the God.  Christ Jesus did not say that He was not the God, although He did not claim explicitly that He was the God.  Those who believe that Christ Jesus was the God are usually called Christians.  Or at least, Jewish persons and Muslims do not have the belief that Christ Jesus was the God.

However, which is more important, the judgement on whether Christ Jesus was the God or not or the word of God?  It is possible that God requests men, above anything, to believe that Christ Jesus was the God.  However, it is also possible that God requests men, above all, to follow His words.

If a man believes that Christ Jesus was the God while following words of God, the man may please the God.  But if a man does not believe that Christ Jesus was the God while following words of God, the man may still please the God.

However, if a man believes that Christ Jesus was the God while neglecting words of God, the man probably cannot please the God.  And if a man does not believe that Christ Jesus was the God, neglecting words of God, the man probably cannot please the God.

Despite one's judgment on the identity of Christ Jesus, if the man follows words of God, the God should be probably pleased, since the God never clearly told that He was going to appear before men as Christ Jesus and nobody who did not believe that Christ Jesus was the God could enter Heaven.

In my thought, it is not wise to discuss whether Christ Jesus was the God or not.  If we have time to discuss it, we had better learn the words of the God more in addition to the teaching of Christ Jesus.

But, the questions whether Christ Jesus was God and why the God appeared as Christ Jesus if He was the God are the most important questions for the mankind in these 2000 years.  By studying these questions, Europeans and Christians seem to have well developed their intellectual capacity.  But also by negatively handling these questions, Jewish people seem to have well developed their intellectual capacity.

And, it is more drastic that the God once appeared as a simple man than that the God never appeared in the history as a man before the mankind.  Furthermore, it has never been reported that a doubtful believer of the God ever asked the God whether He was once Christ Jesus and got the answer "Yes."

In case that the God once really appeared before men as Christ Jesus (as we cannot 100% deny such a possibility, since the God is almighty), it looks better for us not to discuss whether Christ Jesus was the God, so that we would not displease the God.         

Even a quantum computer will handle this problem with both the assumptions that Christ Jesus was the God and Christ Jesus was not the God, combining both the answers and bringing forward a combined state based on the two answers.  Maybe, the will of the God or our faith makes the state converge into a fixed state.

At least, God and Christ Jesus never said that a man could not enter the Heaven unless he believed or proved that Christ Jesus was the God.

Luk 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luk 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luk 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luk 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Luk 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Luk 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luk 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
