The God and the 10 Faithful People
Abraham made a deal with God to save Sodom and Gomorrah, according to the Bible, but based on what conditions?
Genesis 18, King James Version
20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Abraham just asked the God to show more mercy for nothing, but God accepted his request for a mysterious reason. And, the God finally promised Abraham that He would not destroy the towns only if He could find 10 faithful people there although He had first tried to destroy them regardless of the number of faithful people there.
This holy story tells that the God would oblige if a faithful man says his wish where his faith in the God is expressed.
We have to also think that when Christ Jesus was crucified and killed, the God should try to destroy the mankind. But, as Christ Jesus asked the God not to do so, the God must have granted the wish of Christ Jesus. And the Holy Mother must have shared the wish of Christ Jesus. So, the God obliged.
So, the God stopped execution on men 4,000 years ago due to Abraham's pleading. The God also stopped execution on men 2,000 years ago due to pleading of Christ Jesus and the Holy Mother. But, if the God, now again, intends to punish the mankind, would Christ Jesus or the Holy Mother ask the God to forgive them?
And if Christ Jesus and the Holy Mother abandoned the mankind, who would ask the God not to destroy the mankind? Are there now the 50 faithful men now in the world who could be allowed to negotiate with the God? Of course, the merciful God might allow even 10 faithful men to negotiate with Him.
Indeed, for the mankind to survive, we need at least 10 faithful men who are allowed to negotiate with the God in case that Christ Jesus and the Holy Mother have abandoned the mankind. And such 10 faithful men among 8 billion population in the world should wisely and reverently ask the God to allow the mankind to survive the 21st century and onwards.++++ ++++ ++++
Luke 7, King James Version
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
