"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother" - Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul

Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul

The teaching of Christ Jesus where His thoughts were clearly expressed is as follows:

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.  (Mark 8)

The core of these words is "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"  Indeed, today everybody sells some parts of his/her soul to Satan so as to get any money and accumulate material wealth.  This is the decisive source and cause for problems in the human world.

But desire for material happiness is so strong that everybody naturally wants to get it even by selling its soul to Satan.  Conversely Satan makes everybody wants material happiness or life of billionaire so as to sell any part of its soul to Satan who teaches it how to use crafts or tricks to get profits.  And Satan teaches people to forget teachings of the God and neglect poor neighbors so as to get money and accumulate wealth.  On this Satan's teaching, lives of most people are built.   

So, Christ Jesus taught people to abandon this world and material happiness but to keep one's soul.  And then, one will be accepted in Heaven after its death in this world. 

So, it is whether you take happiness in Heaven after death in this world or material happiness in this world.  If one takes the latter, he shall be rejected in Heaven so as to go to and live in the hells to be ruled by Satan.  

In other word, it is whether or not you believe in the afterlife or the spirit world where Heaven and the hells exist.  But human science has not yet assured that there is the afterlife or the spirit world.  And, human science has not revealed the conditions for being accepted in Heaven if the afterlife and Heaven existed.  Rather, it seems that Satan teaches people that one's being rich in this world will not prevent it from being also happy in the afterlife.  So, Satan tells people that they can be materially happy in this world and also in the afterlife, so that they should sell any part of their souls to Satan to be materially happy in this world while living in this world.  And, this Satan's teaching seems to be accepted by most of people, so that everybody is seeking money even by selling their souls to Satan.

So, if you are brainwashed by Satan, you will still seek money and continue to accumulate wealth if you find that there is the afterlife of the spirit world.      

Yet, Christ Jesus taught that if we got even this world by selling our souls to Satan, we would be rejected by Heaven.  Indeed, those who sold their souls to Satan cannot be accepted in Heaven.     

So, if one knows that there is the afterlife, it is useless unless he accepts the teaching of Christ Jesus about the conditions for being accepted in Heaven.  But, this truth cannot be scientifically proved.  Indeed, faith is to believe something that science cannot prove.

Yet, although science cannot prove whether the words of Christ Jesus are correct, men can judge and accept them instinctively.  Those who love evil will accept Satan's teaching but others who love good will accept the teaching of Christ Jesus.  And, scientifically it cannot be judged whether Satan's teaching is correct or the teaching of Christ Jesus is.  It depends on whether one loves evil or good, or specifically Satan or the God, or otherwise hatred, madness, and wealth or love, rationale, and poverty.

Through poverty in this world realized by our rejecting to sell our souls to Satan, we can see truth since we keep our souls.  And following the truth and love, we can reach Heaven.

But how can we live without money in this world?  So, it is faith to believe that the God will save and help us if we do not have money in this world.  And, understanding that there are the afterlife, Heaven, and the hells should support this faith.  But, we have to also understand other teaching of Christ Jesus that rich men cannot be accepted in Heave.  So, what a great blessing to poor people the teaching of Christ Jesus is!

Mark 10, King James Version
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

"Go not into the way of the Gentiles" - The Holy Mother Appeared also in Akita, Japan

 

Around Tokyo

The Holy Mother Appeared also in Akita, Japan

The Holy Mary has given warnings abut coming tragedies of the mankind since her apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.  In Akita in Japan She also appeared.

Our Lady of Akita (Japanese: 秋田の聖母マリア) is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with the Marian apparitions reported in 1973 by Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in the remote area of Yuzawadai, an outskirt of Akita, Japan. The messages emphasize prayer (especially recitation of the Holy Rosary) and penance in combination with cryptic prophecies warning of sacerdotal persecution and heresy within the Catholic Church. A wooden statue representing the apparitions is venerated by the Japanese faithful and other Catholics. In December of 1973, a Japanese television station videotaped tears coming from the statue's eyes. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Akita)

It is said that the wooden statue of the Holy Mary in the convent in Akita shed tears 101 times from 1975 to 1981.  Even in 2019 Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa whose hearing impairments was cured by a Marian apparition there got a message from an angel who recommended more prayers.  And, Sasagawa felt that it was close to time.

And, in 2019 the Pope Francis visited Japan. In 2020, the corona pandemic started from China,  In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.  In 2023, abnormal weather has been intensified with abnormally hot summer.  

The Vatican officially authorized the Marian Apparition in Akita. But, it is well known that the Holy Mary also appeared in Garabandal, Spain, Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.  However, it is impressive that Marian apparitions happened in Japan where Christians are a minority (only 1% of the Japanese are official Christians). 

Some people might think that if it was so grave and imminent, Christ Jesus Himself but not the Holy Mary should appear and give warnings to the mankind.  Or, they might think that such miracles are meaningless as any miracles can happen at any time in this world.

It was three years before John-Paul II became the Pope that Sasagawa first saw a Marian apparition in Akita.　And, in 1981 when John-Paul II was shot and wounded, the Holy Mary started to appear in Medjugorje.  Further in 2005, when John-Paul II died, Lucia, the last surviving girl of the miracle of Fatima, died in the same year, too.  Indeed, John-Paul II and the miracle of Fatima were closely related, and the case in Akita seems to be linked to John-Paul II.  And both Fatima and Akita are located on 38th parallel north.  And, Russia is between Medjugorje and Akita.

Anyway, it seems that WWIII will happen in the late 2020s.  And great natural disasters will happen in 2030s.  Big tsunamis might also attack Japan in 2030s.  The era of 2030s might become years of tragedies.  

So, it is natural that the God has sent the Holy Mother beforehand to give warnings to the mankind and the Japanese people.  If we take the corona pandemic starting in 2020 and the Ukraine War starting in 2022 seriously,  we should take Marian apparitions seriously.    

But, if we continue our prayer to the God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Mary through 2020s, we may be saved.

Matthew 10, King James Version
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Believe in the Spiritual Energy like Little Children

The Gospels tell the story about the great psychic Christ Jesus.  As He was blessed by the God who gave the psychic ability to Christ Jesus, He could perform various miracles.  But, Satan hated Christ Jesus so much and finally killed Him on the cross.  

As Satan could not defeat the God, it was a crazy act to kill Christ Jesus.  But, whether or not Satan killed Christ Jesus, it was destined to be finally destroyed by the God.  Before its complete extinction by the God, Satan must have been determined to harm and soil the human world as much as possible.  So, although it knew that Christ Jesus could continue to live in the spirit world if He was killed in this world, Satan wanted to harm Christ Jesus even in the human world as much as possible.  By harming reputation of Christ Jesus, Satan wanted to get as many people as possible into the hells.  Satan wants as many people as possible to die with it in the hells.

Christ Jesus showed that love could defeat Satan when He died on the cross in this world.  Indeed, Satan used human hatred through which it penetrated into human minds.  So, until His death on the cross, Christ Jesus did not show hatred to those who had sold their souls to Satan.

But why did Satan hate Christ Jesus so much as to kill Him in the human world, although it knew that Christ Jesus could continue to live in the spirit world?  It is because Christ Jesus told people to use spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love to solve any human problems without relying on power of money which is another form of Satan.

Indeed, when people started to use spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love to solve any human problems, Satan would lose its influential power on people.

So, what we should learn from the Gospels is how effective spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love are.  Indeed, spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love have great power.  So, many persons of religion in India, China, Japan, etc. have traditionally tried to acquire spiritual energy and psychic power through hard ascetic training.  

But, Christ Jesus told that anybody could get such ability through faith in the God who is the Creator of the whole universe.  And, such ability should be used with love to the God and poor neighbors.  This teaching of Christ Jesus made Satan angry.  If this teaching prevailed, nobody would try to use Satan's power or get money even by selling their souls to Satan.

However, as the spiritual energy penetrates into this material world, some people happen to be able to use this energy.  With this energy, ancient Egyptians could build pyramids, Yuri Geller can bend spoons, and some psychics cure the disease.  But, as Satan can use this energy and give it to anybody it chooses, we have to first have faith in the God in seeking such energy. 

Indeed, the Gospel reads:

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (Matthew 18)

In order to use the spiritual energy or the energy in the spirit world, we have to believe in the God without doubt like small children who do not know power of money or Satan.

Anyway, Satan succeeded in killing Christ Jesus in this world who did not use spiritual energy to defeat those who had sold their souls to Satan.  However, love of Christ Jesus to those who had sold their souls to Satan does not mean that Christ Jesus loved Satan.  In the spirit world, Satan should have been all the more severely punished.

Yet, we should use spiritual energy and psychic power more than money in solving human problems.  And such power can obtain through our faith in the God.  But, it should be used with love.  Otherwise, Satan will attack us with spiritual energy.  We should not forget that Satan could kill Christ Jesus in this world.

However, we should use spiritual energy and psychic power more than money in solving human problems, since our souls and minds can continue to live in the spirit world after death in this world.

Matthew 10, King James Version
10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

"the same is a thief and a robber" - Our Souls more Valuable than Money

Our Souls more Valuable than Money

There seems to be big mistakes in interpreting the Gospels.  That is why men cannot build a civilization where they can fully enjoy God's blessings.  Rather, they are now revering and respecting Satan as a god, since Satan takes the form of money.  Even the world economy is based on money which they believe can solve anything in the human world.  So, money becomes a kind of religions and common languages in the world.  Power of money (Satan in other word) overwhelms the world.

So, we have to change our view on the Gospels.  The Gospels tell the teaching of the God that rich men cannot enter into Heaven but go into the hells, since money is the source of every evil and the tool of Satan who understands its fate that it will be finally and decisively destroyed by the God, so that it is trying to harm and soil the human world created by the God as much as possible and bring as many men as possible to the hells before its extinction.  

First of all, Christ Jesus told that there are Heavens and the hells, which means that there is other world or the afterlife.  Indeed, if you believe in Christ Jesus, you would simply believe that there is the afterlife where Heaven and the hells exist.  And, because Christ Jesus assured poor people could be accepted in Heaven to live happy forever, Christianity has prevailed through these 2,000 years, since a majority in the human world has been always poor people. 

So, Christians mean essentially the people who are not afraid of their death in this world, since they are convinced that they can be accepted in Heaven to enjoy eternal happiness.  Therefore, they do not seek money to become materially happy in this world.  Rather, they see Satan in money, so that they try to avoid money as much as possible, so that they have would inevitably become poor.  This is why monks and nuns have to live poor, separating their lives from worldly money-driven society.  They have to live with less money as much as possible.  You can pray to the God in anywhere, but Satan can easily come into ordinary life, so that they have to hide in monasteries or convents.  But, strong saints such as Christ Jesus, St. Peter, etc. did not avoid encounter with Satan.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said to people not to be afraid of Satan, since it cannot do anything other than killing them in this world.  

But, Satan has brainwashed people with money, showing how happy lives people can enjoy with big money in this world.  Satan teaches that happiness in this world is more important than happiness in Heaven in the afterlife.  And, the more people taste material happiness in this world, the more people follow Satan and seek money.  Then, the human civilization started to corrupt.  

But, Christ Jesus has waited for 2,000 years.  Even the Holy Mother gave warnings in many places such as Fatima in these centuries.  But, it seems that time is up.  The Holy Mother in her apparitions told that the God would no more defend and protect the human beings from coming disasters such as WWIII, great natural disasters, so on.  Yet, people are seeking money or following Satan, as they  mistakenly believe that human science and technology would solve any problems.  But, modern science and technology developed based on money (Satan) economy cannot be effective in solving problems caused by evil of money (Satan). 

For example, modern science and technology are supported by electricity that generates electromagnetic effects that can interfere with earth magnetism.  Even electric vehicles are prevailing.  Disturbance in earth magnetism should cause disturbance in stability of the earth axis.  Poles of the earth axis might change, causing a great catastrophe to the human civilization.  It would have a greater consequence than that caused by the increase in the CO2 emissions.  But, can we stop use of electricity?  

We are rushing to the catastrophe with material prosperity based on use of electricity while Satan in the spirit world is laughing to see human folly.  That is why the Holy Mother was shedding tears in her apparitions to see the future tragedies of the mankind most of whom would go to the hells after their death in this world.  Crazy Satan would gather those souls of the mankind in the hells so as to further attack Heaven with them.  But, the God should destroy them once and for all.  Those souls of the mankind following Satan would be completely destroyed and lost in the spirit world.  But, other souls admitted into Heaven would live happy forever there, looking down on the great tragedy and extinction of the hells.                    

So, we have to turn to the God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Mother, etc., avoiding use of money.  We have to have poor lives not supported by money.  We have to start to build a civilization based on spiritual love but not love to money (Satan).  

But, can the Pope and other priests and pastors clearly shout that money is Satan?

At least, we have to lower the level of our material life to that of 2,000 years ago when Christ Jesus first came to this world.  Then we will be saved from the coming tragedies.  We should rely on our spiritual power in getting foods, clothes, residents, etc.  With our prayer to the God, we surely can obtain such power.

So, we have to strengthen, purify, and deepen our faith in the God so that we can get more spiritual power.  Indeed, saints with great spiritual power should be found among poor men without money or influences of Satan.  

And, I do not think that the above theory is against various theories in Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, spiritualism, etc.  We should have believed in our traditional spiritualism that seemed to have been lost about 1,000 years ago in Japan.  

Indeed, once a notable Buddhist monk with spiritual power was said to have changed weather in a rain-making ritual so as to make rains in the agricultural land.  It may be a little difficult for modern people, but there are some even today who can bend a spoon with psychic power.  We have to have faith in our ability to be able to live spiritually like small children who are not brainwashed with money (Satan) as Christ Jesus told.        

Anyway, we are alive not due to money but due to our spiritual power.  Our souls are more valuable than money.  In other world, our love or minds are more precious than money.  We should not sell our souls to Satan for any money.

John 10, King James Version
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
