"he spake to them of the Father" - Something More Important than Death or Life

Something More Important than Death or Life

There is something more important than death or life for men.

However, it is common sense that money is the most important thing in this world next to life or death.  But it indicates a state of being brainwashed by Satan.

Nonetheless, if you read the Bible and find that there is the afterlife after death in this world, you should come to think about what is more important than life or death.  Put simply, good or bad is one example that is more important than life or death.  Or another example is faithful or evil. 

It is because everybody goes to the spirit world as a spirit after death in this world.  And, what is the most important thing in the spirit world is whether one's spirit can enter into Heaven where eternal life is given by the God or falls into the hell where one's spirit is to be destroyed by the God.

And this fate in the spirit world is decided based on whether he was poor or rich during his life in this material life.  That is why Christ Jesus did not encourage people to be rich but just to believe in and perform the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus who taught to love the God and their poor neighbors.  And, how can you be rich while your neighbors are poor?  You should be at least as poor as your neighbors.  Besides, if you want to be a neighbor of Christ Jesus, you cannot be richer than Christ Jesus who was a kind of homeless.  So, basically only homeless men are qualified to enter into Heaven.

However, Christ Jesus is merciful, benevolent, and kind, so that He should allow men who were sufficiently poor to be accepted in Heaven.

Therefore, while your are alive in this world, you should not worry about coming death, but should try to be poor as much as possible.  From this point of view, the Pope and other leaders of churches look too rich to be allowed to enter into Heaven.  Conversely, poor people in this world should rejoice with faithful people, since they should be surely given eternal life in Heaven by the God as Christ Jesus so meant.

John 8, King James Version

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

"saying, Lord, save us: we perish" - The Spirit shall Return unto God who Gave It

The Spirit shall Return unto God who Gave It

According to the Bible or specifically Ecclesiastes 12, there are the God and spirits given by Him to men:

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

It is generally accepted that a man is made of the physical body and the mind.  The body is a mass of molecules, atoms, and other elementary particles, which is substance or material.  However, the mind is work of spiritual energy based on physical structure of the brain.

In other words, when a man is born with the brain in certain structure, the God gives a spirit to the man.  Then, the spiritual energy starts to work, generating the mind.

But, it should be noted that this physical world where a main is born and lives was generated from the spiritual energy coming from the spirit world or Heaven long time ago, or specifically about 14 billion years ago.  So, it is no wonder that there is linkage between the spirit world and this material world or the human world, and through this linkage or channel, the God sends a spirit to each new born baby.  

In this context, the true and real world is not this material or human world but the spirit world.  Therefore, without spiritual power or spiritual effects, this world is vanity or nothingness.  Indeed, if the entire universe is full of stars where none lives, the universe is vanity or nothingness.  Because there is linkage with the spirit world, this universe has meaning and significance, especially for men.      

In near-death experiences, men sometimes perceive existence of the spirit world that leads to Heaven or the hell.  In such a case, at the entrance to the spirit world, men surely feel satisfied, welcomed, fulfilled, and loved unconditionally. 

However, the fact that a man has a spirit given by the God and the spirit will return to the spirit world at his death in this world is not so important as the issue that there are Heaven and the hell in the spirit world.  The critical issue is that only poor, faithful, and righteous men can be accepted in Heaven and rich, unfaithful, and evil men go to the hell.  

Ultimately, everything in this material world or human world is vanity or nothingness without the linkage with the spirit world.  A man without work of the spirit energy or the mind is also vanity or nothingness, since his body is just dust.

Matthew 8, King James Version

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

"none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me" - Rich Men will be Destroyed in the Hell together with Satan

Rich Men will be Destroyed in the Hell together with Satan

Christians are those who believe in the Bible and the Gospels, so that they believe in the afterlife, Heaven, and the hell in addition to the God, the holy spirit, and Christ Jesus as well as existence of their spirits.

Therefore, they should not be afraid of their death in this world, since they believe that their sprits will live in the spirit world, the afterlife, or Heaven.  However, there is something more important than the afterlife, or the fact or belief that men's spirits will live in the afterlife after physical death in this world.  That is why problems in this world cannot be solved or men have to suffer various problems in this world.

It also tells that the notion that a man's spirit will continue to live in the spirit world even after his body's death in this world does not improve the human world or save souls of men.  So, if Christ Jesus had declared only this truth, poor people of 2,000 years ago should not have been impressed so much.

The point at issue is that poor men can be accepted in Heaven but rich men cannot.  Hearing this teaching from a man called Jesus who had shown His authority given by the God in addition to seeing miracles that showed His authority over this world, poor people rejoiced and came to believe in Him.  Indeed, Christ Jesus came to this world to save the poor, the unhappy, and the inflicted but not to judge evil and rich men. 

However, Christ Jesus meant that rich and evil men would be destroyed by the God in the hell together with Satan.  This is one of the most important part in the teachings of Christ Jesus.

Acts 8, King James Version

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

"Jesus said unto him, Follow me" - Everybody Dies Someday in this World

Everybody Dies Someday in this World

If somebody tells you that everybody dies someday in this world, you must not be impressed.  But, this is the starting point of the teachings of Christ Jesus.

Death in this world is not the end of your life, but your spirit carries your life to the spirit world leading to Heaven or the hell.  And, if your life in your spirit is carried to the hell, it will be completely destroyed there by the God, which is the end of your life where you life perfectly comes to nothing.  It is the second and complete death.  What is left after your second death is totally nothing.

However, if your life is carried to Heaven with your spirit, it will become eternal life that never dies, so that you do not have to be afraid of the physical death in this material world.  Yet, you have to be accepted in Heaven by the God.  And, Christ Jesus made clear the conditions for which you will be accepted by the God.  In this context, Christ Jesus is the great benefactor to the mankind. 

Put simply, you have to be poor in this world, which means that you have never sold completely your spirit to Satan.  So, if you are poor, you will be regarded as faithful or righteous, since only faithful or righteous men never sell their souls to Satan.

In other words, you have to sell any part of your spirit to Satan so as to be rich, materially happy, successful, or content.  Therefore, being rich, happy, and successful is a one-way ticket to the hell.

Therefore, many rich people deny this teaching of Christ Jesus.  Or, sometimes they controlled churches so as to make them not emphasize this teaching: The poor enter into Heaven while the rich fall into the hell.

To clearly understand the teaching of Christ Jesus, you have to admit that there is a spirit in yourself in addition to your body and your mind.  And, you have to also believe that there is the spirit world or the afterlife, and furthermore Heaven and the hell.  And ultimately, you have to believe that there is the God who is the spirit as Christ Jesus described.

Consequently, if you believe in Christ Jesus and the Bible, you will surely admit near-death experiences; existence of spirits, the spirit world, and the afterlife.  And, the Gospels tell that the spirit of Christ Jesus appeared with a material body among believers after death on the cross.  It also depicts the situation where spirits came down from Heaven onto believers hiding in a house in Jerusalem.  So, without accepting spiritual phenomena as real and true, you cannot understand Christ Jesus and His teachings or the Gospels.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
