Poor Men Assumed to be Faithful Should be Accepted in Heaven
If everybody is taught in primary school that there is the afterlife and his soul will continue to live in the spirit world after death in this world, would it save the world?
Rich men will still continue to be rich in the afterlife, and poor men will still be afraid that they may be still poor in the afterlife.
Or, people might think that it does not matter whether they are rich or poor in this world and they will all alike be happy in the afterlife with help and support from angels, etc. So, it is stupid not to try to be rich while living in this world, since rich men and poor men will be happy in the afterlife. Furthermore, people would think that there is no need for rich men to be afraid of judgement by the God after death.
Therefore, the knowledge that there is the afterlife and people's souls will continue to live in the spirit world after death in this world does not necessarily make this world better or give salvation to poor people suffering in this world. Rather, Satan seems to be trying to diffuse the notion that everybody will be happy in the life after death or in the spirit world, so that everybody should try to be rich and happy in this world. However, Christ Jesus clearly said that rich men could not enter into Heaven but fall into the hell after death in this world.
The teaching of Christ Jesus that poor men can be accepted in Heaven but rich men should fall into the hell to be destroyed by the God is really good news for poor people suffering in this world. In this teaching, it is implied that faithful men are poor and evil men are rich from a material view point.
In this context, Christ Jesus proclaimed that poor men should not be afraid of death, since the God loved them. Since Christ Jesus launched his mission with this teaching 2000 years ago, very many poor people in the Roman Empire, later Europe, America, Africa, Asia, etc. came to believe in Christ Jesus. Even today in the world, there are more than 2 billion people who believe in Christ Jesus, Christianity, or the Vatican.
However, scholars, priests, preachers, and even the elite in the Vatican do not emphasize this simple teaching of Christ Jesus. They do not even show their hatred against wealth, money, and worldly happiness and success that will lead them to the hell in the afterlife. They mostly focus on love of ambiguous sort that must indicate their love to worldly happiness based on power and wealth under control of Satan.
So, it is Satan's teaching that no matter good or evil one is, he can live happily in the spirit world after death in this world. But Christians must believe that poor men, assumed to be faithful, would be welcomed in Heaven but rich men, assumed to be evil, should fall into the hell to be finally destroyed by the God. ++++ ++++ ++++
Mark 8, King James Version
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
