Many Religions but One True Teaching and One Preferable Religion

People know that Christ Jesus came to the human world to save the world and the mankind with love, although some are indifferent with Him or Christianity since He did not come with promise of wealth or worldly power that changed the society.

On the other hand, there are many new religions that offer promise of wealth to people and pursue political power. Some religions even advertise that their founders have spiritual or supernatural power to make people believe that they are holy. Indeed, in Japan there are about 190,000 religious corporations.  And among the religious corporations registered in and managed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 477 are related to Buddhism, 327 are Christianity related, 212 Shintoism related, and 119 others.  Although most Japanese are thought to be non-religion, the total number of members of all the religious bodies in Japan surpasses the population of Japan.  

In other words, Japanese people think that any religions that pay respect to gods or spirits and have spiritual or supernatural power should be worth respecting.  However, the concept that there is the only one God in this world and the spirit world as the sole creator of everything material and spiritual is a kind of foreign concept to the Japanese.  Even, Christ Jesus is regarded as one of gods like the Buddha in some Japanese religions.

But, what is true Christianity?  First, it tells that souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits.  Second, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells.  Thirdly, good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.  Therefore, poor and faithful men in this world should not be afraid of death but rather should be rejoiced for their promised happiness in Heaven.  This is what Christ Jesus taught people.  Therefore, everybody should try to be poor as much as possible to get eternal happy life in Heaven.  But, Satan brainwashes people to pursue worldly and material happiness that Christ Jesus did not promise.      

All the problems in the human world arise from people's unbelief in the teaching of Christ Jesus: souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells, and good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.

But, if you believe in Christ Jesus, you should surely hate Satan, worldly wealth and money, worldly success and happiness, etc.  True wealth and happiness can be only obtained in Heaven after bodily death in this world.  

From this standpoint, any religions that admit this teaching of Christ Jesus can be overlooked.  However, a religion established for fight against Satan may be preferable.

Genesis 2, King James Version

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
