"Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come" - Like One Sun in the Sky, One Unified Religion for the One God




Mt. Fuji 100 km far from around Tokyo


Like One Sun in the Sky, One Unified Religion for the One God

It is said that there are about 10 to the 80th power of atoms in this universe.  But there are no proven theories denying that all of them follow one system of physics and have the same structure.

If this universe had happened to be generated from a chance through random processes, the estimation about identicalness of all the atoms in the universe cannot be established.  In other words, there must have been various types of atoms with different structure.  However, scientists have confidence that carbon atoms and oxygen atoms in any stars are the same as those in the earth, therefore CO2 in any stars are the same as those in the earth.

Consequently, we have to assume that there is a designer of this universe.  And it is natural to call the designer the God or the Creator of the universe, since it is truly an act of the God to create or produce anything in quantity of 10 to the 80th power precisely in the same manner. 

Besides, if any one denies the existence of the God, he cannot deny his own existence.  They may think what exists captures the higher ground than what does not exist.  By denying the existence of the God, such a man puts himself above the God.  It is a blasphemy.  You should better think that as a lower entity such as you exists, the God with higher capacity must surely exists.

So, we must admit that the God exists as the Creator of the universe and the human world in addition to Heaven, the hell, and the spiritual world.  Therefore, the most important matter for the mankind must be the relationship between the God and the mankind or each member of the mankind.

Most importantly, it is not like that one day an individual realized that there is the God above men and started to bring the notion among his family, his clan, his tribe, and all other peoples.  But, the notion about the God was generated and prevailed among a tribe as a guardian god of the clan.  There were many tribes in the world in ancient times, but only the Jewish people could succeed in making almost all the mankind accept their guardian god as the God of the mankind.  Christianity and Islam, the two major religion of the mankind, believe in the same God as the God of Judaism. 

But it is not because Jewish people proved scientifically that their God is the Creator of the universe.  It is rather because the God taught them to be ethically right and good.  Jewish people must have seen the God as the source of goodness and justice, and accordingly, they accepted the God, which seemed to please the God.

Then, Christ Jesus came to teach that the God is also the source of love, which was accepted by some Jewish people and other people, leading to the establishment of Christianity.

However, most of Jewish people have denied Christianity mostly because they have not been able to accept the idea that Christ Jesus is the God, the Son of the God, or a messiah sent by the God.  Indeed, the God has not sent any prophets among Jewish people in these 2000 years to openly or officially declare and announce that Christ is the God, the Son of the God, or a messiah sent by the God.

This fact has caused many confusions, troubles, and tragedies in Christians as well as Jewish people.  Is Christ Jesus the God, the Son of the God, or a messiah sent by the God?  This has been the most important issue for the mankind in these 2000 years, to which the mankind cannot give a clear answer even today.  What is more, the God has been silent on this issue.  What is the intention of the God?  Or what does the God expect from the mankind?

If Judaism is right, all the Christians of today and in the past should be said to have believed in a wrong religion.  If Christianity is right, all the Jewish people in these 2000 years have displeased the God.

But, it is thought that most of Jewish people living today secretly accept Christ Jesus as the Son of the God or a messiah sent by the God, if not as the God Himself, at the bottoms of their hearts, since the effect of power of Christianity has been manifested through these 2000 years. 

Rationally and logically, the mankind should have only one common belief in the God.  The human history must be the process for such a belief to be established.  As everyone sees only one sun in the sky through their similar eyes, all the mankind should believe in only one God through a common religion in their minds.

In this context, it is unthinkable that the mankind will go extinct due to any tragedies or disasters, such as the current corona-pandemic, before unification of religions.  However, if the God judges that there is no possibility for the mankind to reach the state of having the common belief in the God, He may not stop the coming of extinction of the mankind.

Individually, I think that Judaism should be absorbed in Christianity where Christ Jesus promises to give eternal life to each believer while what would happen after death of even an honest Jewish man is unclear in Judaism.

John 12  King James Version
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
