"They that be whole need not a physician" - Does the God or Do Ourselves Exist, or Does Nothing Exist?





Tokyo Bay

Does the God or Do Ourselves Exist, or Does Nothing Exist?

The God created the universe and the mankind with expectation that they will come to believe and revere Him.  But, Satan starts to impede God's wish.

As a result, the mankind are not yet sure about the existence of the God as well as Satan.

The mankind should think about relationship between the God and the mankind from a view point of the God but not of themselves.  It is the existence of the mankind that should be questioned in terms of the meaning of existence.  Does the mankind really exist in comparison with the existence of the God.  From the beginning, it is a mystery that the God gave existence to the mankind while the mankind do not seem to have value worth its existence while only the God can give existence to any thing.  

However, a man knows that if he dies, nothing will exist for him after his death.  Yet, from a view point of the God, everything exists after the death of a man.  And, as a man cannot create anything from nothing, he cannot give existence to any thing.

Did what exists come to exist spontaneously or by chance?  Or did whatever exist come to exist by power of the God?  The latter question looks meaningful, useful, and authentic.  The God must be the source of existence of whatever exists.  With this notion, we can understand the God and must have the fear of the God.

In the space where nothing existed, only the God presided over the space.  You might deny such a situation and think that nothing including yourself exists even at this moment.  And, Satan will be pleased to see that one man goes mad against anticipation of the God.       

So, the last question the mankind is allowed to have must be: why and how did the God come to exist or is there any concept meaning more than existence?

If we admit that we exist, we have to admit existence of the source of existence, which must be the God.

If we die, nothing material exists for us, but the world continues to exist as well as the God.  Even if we die, the history goes on.  Even the history of the mankind ends, the universe continues to exist.  Even if the history of the universe ends and it disappears, the spiritual world and the God exist.  And at the moment of end of the material universe, a man must be able to materially see the God if he sill lives at the moment.

Whatever exists must come to cease to exist in the long future in this world, in the spiritual world, etc.  Even Satan will cease to exist likewise.  However, if the space where existence, material or spiritual, is possible has come to cease to exist, the God must be present somewhere.

All we can hope is that Christ Jesus is the Son of the God, since we can share the fact or reality of existence of ourselves and Himself in the history in this material world with Christ Jesus.  We do not have to be afraid that actually nothing exists, including ourselves, this world, the spiritual world, etc., since the Son of the God existed in the history in this material world.

Matthew 9    King James Version

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

"till the Son of man were risen" - Some Neanderthals Might Have Gone Extinct due to Corona-Viruses

 



Tokyo


Some Neanderthals Might Have Gone Extinct due to Corona-Viruses  

It had been reported that Neanderthals have left a certain feature in the genes of the modern mankind that has introduced weakness against corona-viruses:

A recent genetic association study (Ellinghaus et al. 2020) identified a gene cluster on chromosome 3 as a risk locus for respiratory failure in SARS-CoV-2. Recent data comprising 3,199 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and controls reproduce this and find that it is the major genetic risk factor for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization (COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative). Here, we show that the risk is conferred by a genomic segment of ~50 kb that is inherited from Neandertals and occurs at a frequency of ~30% in south Asia and ~8% in Europe. (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.03.186296v1)

However East Asians and Sub-Sahara Africans have this feature in a lesser amount, but Bangladeshi have it in a larger ratio among them (63% of Bangladeshi have at least one set of relevant genes).

It has been proved that the number of deaths in Japan is one hundredth of that in Europe or the U.S.   But India, adjacent to Bangladesh, has the far larger number of victims of corona-viruses than Japan.

(Deaths by corona-viruses: More than 190,000 in the U.S and about 1,400 in Japan  as of Sept. 9, 2020, although the population of the U.S. is abut three times larger than Japan's.)

It is also thought that Neanderthals who had lived in the region now called Croatia had a stronger relationship with the direct ancestors of the modern mankind than in other regions.

So we may say that we have confirmed that some of Homo sapiens or our direct ancestors married some of Neanderthals.  This scenario looks more likely than the one that viruses introduced the relevant genes to both Homo sapience and  Neanderthals.  However, 99% of genes of the mankind are the same as those of chimpanzees.  Neanderthals were closer to the mankind than chimpanzees are.  Rather, we had better think that some Neanderthals had changed their DNAs or genes to be part of Homo sapiens or the mankind.

Then we may find the reason why Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago from the earth without any drastic events such as wars between them and Homo sapiens.  Some Neanderthals might have just evolved to Homo sapiens by changing less than 1% of their genes taking hundreds of thousands of years.  But other Neanderthals who could not evolve to Homo sapiens must have gone extinct 40,000 years ago due to corona-viruses or other viruses.  In this context, Neanderthals did not completely go extinct but still continue to live today as part of Homo sapiens. 

Furthermore, some of Denisovans and other types of Archaic humans might have evolved to part of Homo sapiens or the modern mankind taking  hundreds of thousands of years, since they could change their genes or DNAs.

Indeed, some fish became living things on the land, some dinosaurs became birds, and some primates became the mankind, all by changing their DNAs and genes by themselves.  And even some men might be able to evolve to a kind of Angels by changing their DNAs and genes based on faith in the God.

Mark 9    King James Version
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

"he arose, and departed to his house" - Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed



A Park around Tokyo

Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed

A man has all the genes a chimpanzee has.  In other words, a chimpanzee does not have unique genes a man does not have.  It is also thought that a half of genes a man has were introduced into its ancestors by viruses.  However, it is also estimated that only 5% of human genes are active in a man.

So, it may be possible to turn a chimpanzee to a man by introducing those genes unique only to a man into a chimpanzee.

This is one example of possibility that may become possible due to development of science.  In other words, human science may interfere with the nature in terms of biological development of species.

Yet, we need to know all the functions of all the genes we have.  There must be a gene that will enable the human body to suppress or kill useless or dangerous viruses that invade the body.  Although all the human DNAs (on which genes exist) were read out completely in 2003, their functions are not yet completely understood.

Every man has the same DNAs and genes.  Therefore, at least children from human parents look similar to their parents, and do not look like chimpanzees or any other animals.  But what genes are active in a man differ from those of others.

In this context, Christ Jesus has the same genes and DNAs as those in us.  But some specific genes in Christ Jesus must be uniquely on in comparison with others.  But we do not know yet what genes are uniquely on in Christ Jesus.  We may find key genes that established Christ Jesus.

For example, as there had been 80 generation from Abraham to Christ Jesus, there must be 80 special genes uniquely being on in Christ Jesus, since one specific gene might be turned on in one generation.  

Genes on DNAs are transferred to RNAs which then are translated into specific proteins to alter cells and build specific parts of the body.  But almost a half of RNAs are not translated to proteins but function as they are. 

Anyway, the mankind might discover the secret of genes of Christ Jesus in this century or the next.  Then, they may try to create another Christ Jesus.

However, it will be more difficult to turn those Christ genes on or anti-Christ genes off.

On the other hand, it is thought that our mind-set can have an influence on activation of genes.  When we are positively thinking, our objective can be more easily achieved.   A sick person having a forward-looking view seems to be more smoothly cored than other having a pessimistic view.  Genes good for maintaining health and strengthening immunity must be turned on more easily and smoothly in the body of a man having an optimistic and ambitious view.

So, the extremely pure and strong faith of Christ Jesus must have turned specific genes on in His body.

If we believe that we have also inherently specific genes uniquely turned on in Christ Jesus, all we have to do is to have the same faith as that of Christ Jesus.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said: "If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."

Matthew 9    King James Version
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
