Activation or Deactivation of Some Genes trough Tragedy or Emergency

Our body is built on genes on DNA, but it is said only less than 10% of genes are working in a cell.  It is also found that a mechanism to suppress activation of some genes plays an important role.

And, it is also studied what factors influence and how they influence activation of genes.  However, it is known that some factors inside and outside the body also influence genes.  It can be easily understood that natural environment influences work of genes to change physical properties of a man.  For example, people in Africa and other tropical regions have dark skins while those in northern areas have pale skins due to their genes.

It can be also understood that foods and physical exercise influence work of genes.  Even laboratory mice fed well in favorable environment grow healthy and sound.  But mice under various stress show various symptoms. 

The point at issue is how psychological or spiritual conditions affect work of genes.  For example, it is said when one faces a sudden tragedy or emergency his physical expression changes in a moment or he he suddenly starts to show extraordinary physical power.

In this context, it should be noticed that most of great religious people had experienced severe conditions to deepen and expand their religious ability.  Through hard ascetic training or living under severe conditions, they developed their faith to be great religious figures.  They must have activated some genes necessary to be excellent religious men.

Jewish people wandered through deserts for 40 years after exodus from Egypt led by Moses.  Christ Jesus spent 40 days in wildness while being tempted by Satan.  Even the tradition of having a simple life and enduring severe living conditions is somewhat inherited in Christianity.  Buddha spent six years in ascetic training even to get close to starvation, although he got enlightenment after this period of training.  Even today, it is recommended to Buddhist disciplinants to train themselves in ascetic training.  Confucius politically roamed and wandered among nations in the Chinese continent for 14 years.  Muhammed often practiced mediation in a cave in a desert.

So, it seems that Jewish people as a mass activated some genes to become religious people through the severe experience.  Christ Jesus, as a son of man, activated some genes to become a founder of new religion in the human world, if I may say so, through the fight against Satan in wilderness.  Or they must have suppressed work of unnecessary genes for their aims.

Especially to suppress unnecessary work of genes seems to be essential for a man to be religious or come to rely on the God.

In this context, a field of medical studies called epigenetics is important:

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence but can also be influenced by several factors including age, the environment/lifestyle, and disease state. Epigenetic modifications can manifest as commonly as the manner in which cells terminally differentiate to end up as skin cells, liver cells, brain cells, etc. Or, epigenetic change can have more damaging effects that can result in diseases like cancer. At least three systems including DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNA (ncRNA)-associated gene silencing are currently considered to initiate and sustain epigenetic change.1 New and ongoing research is continuously uncovering the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases.

Through pandemics in the past, the mankind must have activated some specific work of genes to suppress adverse effects of viruses in their bodies.  Even through this corona-virus pandemic, the mankind may come to activate some specific work of genes to suppress corona-viruses.  Or they may come to suppress some work of genes vulnerable to corona-viruses.

Men can activate or deactivate some work of genes, details of which we do not understand yet, through a tragedy or an emergency, like in the cases of ancient Jewish people.  Probably through hundreds of millions of years, the mankind must have evolved by changing their genes or their work through various tragedies and emergencies to the present status. 

So then, how will our genes be modified after this corona-pandemics?  But, when we fight against Satan and win the fight like in the case of Christ Jesus, we must evolve closer to the God, acquiring o suppressing specific work of genes.

Mark 9 King James Version

23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

"if any man did confess that he was Christ" - Corona-Viruses as a Warning According to a School of Theology

Corona-Viruses as a Warning According to a School of Theology

Where did we come from?  What are we?  Where are we going?  Only we know is that we do not know anything till the appropriate time has come. 

But Christ Jesus knew that He came from the God.  He was the secret Son of the God.  And He is going back to the God.  And He said that the appropriate time for us would come like a thief when we did not expect so that we should be always awake.

So we have to ask Him how he knows that He came from the God?  He might answer that it is because He is the secret Son of the God.  So we should ask how He knows that He is the secret Son of the God.  He might answer that because He was with the God as the Son of the God, but it is secret for some secret reason. 

Then, we may ask Him where we came from, what we are, and where we are going.   He would reiterate that the appropriate time for us would come like a thief when we do not expect so that we should be always awake.

Instead, Satan would tell us that we came from nowhere, we are nothing, and we go nowhere, and we just die and disappear, so that while we live, we had better get money as much as possible.  

Eventually, betraying Christ Jesus, we asked Satan to make us rich.  Stan should say to sell our souls to it for money.  And, most of us, betraying the God, have accepted the deal.

As a result, the God has become angry so as to send the Angel Death with corona-viruses to the human world.  And the result is known to everybody in the world.

We came from below Heaven to this world, as living things.  But we became evolved living things having spirits given by the God in Heaven.  And we are going to Heaven or the hell when we die as spiritual entities, because spirits we have must leave our bodies when we die.

The important thing is that Satan who came from the hell do not want any of us to enter Heaven.  We are involved in a kind of war between the God and Satan.  Satan hates so much the God and us who are loved by the God.  Therefore, Satan is trying to persuade us to think that we are nothing and there is nothing for us when we die, so that we had better pursue material happiness and money.

For the God, Satan is nothing.  It is apparent that the God can easily defeat Satan.  But as Satan started to interfere with human beings, He sent His Son to the human world to handle the matter cautiously for some reason.  Then, the Bible was written by human beings and the human world could continue for 2000 years.  But, the God must think that it is enough and the appropriate time has come.  So, as a warning, the God sent the Angel of Death with corona-viruses to the human world in 2020, since He plans to put the end of the human world in the 21st century by sending His Son again to the human world.

Accordingly, as a prelude or a warning, corona-viruses are spreading in the world now, according to a school of theology.

All we can do is to wish that the God would change His mind and plan, according to a school of theology.

John 9    King James Version

20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

"How long is it ago since this came unto him" - An Evil Spirit Blocking Sound Work of the Immune System

An Evil Spirit Blocking Sound Work of the Immune System

If work of the bran, namely the mind, is not sound, a man can lose control of himself, leading to madness or illness.  In ancient days, when a man was in such a state, it was thought that the man was haunted by evil spirit.  So, it is reported in the Bible that Christ Jesus cured the sick or the mad by driving evil spirits out of them.

One example is as follows:

Mar 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

Mar 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Mar 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

Mar 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Mar 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

All the cells in the body are directly or indirectly connected to the nerve system that is linked to the brain.  Therefore, when a malfunction occurs in brain cells, an adverse effect should appear in cells of some parts of the body.  In other words, when psychologically or biologically the brain cells get out of tune through one's feeling or thinking consciously or subconsciously, a bad influence can appear in some parts of the body through autonomous nerve systems directly or indirectly controlling cells of body parts.

If you admit existence of spirits that can influence work of the mind of a man, you would admit that an evil spirit could cause illness or madness in the man.  And you would understand that Christ Jesus really cured the sick or the mad by expelling the evil spirit from his brain or mind.

The modern medical science cannot yet identify all the causes for every illness, such as cancer or  disorder of the mind.  But, it must be effective to think that disorder or a bad influence of an evil spirit on one's nerve system is a major cause.     

In this context, it is interesting how Christ Jesus would heal a corona-virus infected man.  What evil spirit would be expelled out of the man?  It must be the evil spirit who blocked sound work of the autonomous nerve system that is linked to the immune system.

Mar 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

Mar 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

Mar 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Mar 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Mar 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Mar 9:26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

Mar 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

Mar 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

Mar 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
