"I will have mercy, and not sacrifice" - Use 1 instead of 0.999999999... to Fight Satan

 




A Park around Tokyo


Use 1 instead of 0.999999999... to Fight Satan

The significant difference between Judaism and Christianity of course lies in the concept about the God, but also in the concept of Satan, devils, and evil spirits. 

It should be understood that Christ Jesus, who was at least God's Son, was attacked and finally killed by Satan and its minions, since Satan is an enemy of the God.  To kill Christ Jesus and crush the good wishes and good intents of the God to save people, Satan used Roman soldiers, priests of Judaism, and Judas.  The story of the Bible (New Testament) tells what Satan is: a complete enemy of the God and, therefore, men.  But, Judaism does not take the same view, although it has its version of the concept about Satan. 

According to the Gospels, Satan is an enemy of the God, Christ Jesus, and His followers.  Satan represents evil spirits trying to destroy men's faith in the God and Christ Jesus.  Satan is the main source of evil and every bad thing for human beings.  Satan is an enemy of Christianity and followers of Christ Jesus, but for Jewish people, the sin of Christ Jesus calling Himself a Son of the God might be more significant and graver than the sin of Satan obstructing some intentions of the God.

Judaism does not put a great weight on the concept of Heaven, the hell, Satan, and the fight between good and bad.  Judaism thinks much of worldly peace, prosperity, morality, virtue, etc. in addition to the pride that Jewish people were uniquely and especially chosen by the God. 

Christianity regards the fight against evil spirits and Satan, in addition to having faith in the God and Christ Jesus, as the highest mission as well as the sacred duty.

You may judge some Jewish men to be the best from their words, attitudes and ways of living.  But there is no way to judge any Christians to be the best from their words, attitudes, and ways of living; only the God and Christ Jesus who can see their insides and content of their belief can judge them.  In this context, being a priest or even the Pope cannot assure that he is the best Christian.  Satan can enter a mind of any body some time.

Moses did not say that the God had said to him not to follow Satan, which was therefore not written on the slate with the Ten Commandments.  Christ Jesus also did not say to watch out for Satan when He was temporarily dying on the cross.  

But Satan appeared in person before Christ Jesus in the wilderness to destroy Him, which it failed.  How could Christ Jesus forget about or forgive Satan?  The hidden theme of the Gospel should be the fight between Christ Jesus and Satan.

On the other hand, the story of Judaism is also based on the fight between the God and Satan, which however seems not to be realized by Jewish people.  The God purged Adam and Eve from the paradise, which tells that Adam and Eve sold their souls to Satan.  The God once tried to destroy all the people except Noah, which tells everybody except Noah sold its soul to Satan.  The God sometimes forsook Jewish people so that they became slaves in Egypt and prisoners of war in Babylon and they were defeated and ruled by Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire, which tells that the God must have found many among Jewish people who sold their souls to Satan.  It looks like when Jewish people sold their souls to Satan, the God neglected Jewish people but when they repented, the God saved them.

Satan has not targeted only Jewish people but all the mankind.  Therefore, Christ Jesus sent his disciples to the world to fight Satan and save all the races, tribes, and people from Satan.  However, Judaism has no strong sense of mission to fight against Satan.  If Satan says that it believes in Judaism, Jewish people might accept it.  But even Satan says that it believes in Christianity, no Christians would accept it, since Satan is an incontestable enemy of Christ Jesus.

In this context, Jewish people might believe that even if they accepted Satan, the God would finally forgive them.  But Christians must know that if they accept Satan, Christ Jesus would not accept them.        

However, it is difficult to reject Satan, as none dislikes money, a tool of Satan.  Even Christian priests and the Pope like money like Judas who sold his soul to Satan for money.  But Jewish people seem not to find the sense of sin in loving money, since they are not followers of Christ Jesus and Moses did not say not to love money.   

If the God is the infinite, Satan is metaphorically 0.999999999... (= 1/3 x 3 = 1) which is mathematically 1.  Satan imitates the God by taking a figure of 0.99999999... in the form of a decimal number that accesses one forever as if taking access to the infinite.

Judaism looks like a religion to accept 0.999999999... instead of 1.  Christianity looks like a religion not to accept 0.999999999... but to use 1 instead not to accept Satan.

Matthew 12    King James Version
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.



"against the day of my burying hath she kept this" - The God is Larger than the Infinite; We are Decimal Fractions

 




Around Tokyo


The God is Larger than the Infinite; We are Decimal Fractions

The Bible reads that a man cannot see the face of the God, since a man who is alive cannot see the face of the God or a man cannot continue to live after seeing the face of the God.  But, it continues that He, the God, shall let a man see His back.

If the God is presented by numbers, as integers begin from zero to infinite, we cannot see the face of the God as the infinite number or the largest number.  But we can count numbers and follow the series of increasing numbers to the infinite: 1, 2, 3, ...10, ...100, ...1,000, ...10^12,...10^24, ...10^100, ...10^billion, ...10^trillion^trillion, ...  It is like seeing the trace of proceeding of the God toward the infinite and beyond.

No matter how large numbers we may imagine, they are a kind of God's back, since the God, as numbers, is proceeding to the infinite or more.

If the God is Ns (integers), God's Sun can be 2Ns (even numbers), and the Holy Spirit can be (2N +1)s (odd numbers), what are we, human beings?

Probably we are decimal numbers as expressed by N/10^N:

1/10 (0.1), 2/10^2 = 2/100 (0.02), 3/10^3 = 3/1000 (0.003), etc.   

If we get rich and accumulate wealth, we may think that we have become a larger number, such as 10, but the result must be divided by 10^10 so as to be 0.000000001 (= 10/10^10).  In other words, the richer we become worldly, the smaller we become spiritually.

Otherwise, if we pursue wealth in this world, we cannot be bigger than 1/10^1 = 1/10 = 0.1.   From the worldly view, you may think that you have become a big man such as a billionaire (N= a billion) if you succeed in business like Trump, but spiritually this one billion must be divided by 10^billion; then the results is a billion divided by 10^billion = 10^11/10^(10^11) = 10000000000/10^10000000000 = 1/10^9999999989, which is almost zero compared to 1.

If a man does not pursue wealth, but hears and performs the words of the God like John the Baptist, he may become 1/10^1 = 1/10 = 0.1.  And if he is allowed to enter Heaven as the spiritually largest man in this world, he is still less than the least among Angels in Heaven, who should be at least equal to, or larger than, one, since the God is here assumed to be integers.

So, the Bible reads that John the Baptist is larger than anybody who was born in this world but still he is the least in Heaven.  

In summary, we are less than one or are decimal numbers, while the God is larger than the infinite.  How can we, who live in the world less than one, define the God who is larger than the infinite?

So, the Bible reads that when Moses asked the God what His name was, He answered that He was the source of existence of everything including His name and Moses, himself, asking the question.

Indeed, if there is no infinite, no numbers, including decimal numbers, should be able to exist; even zero and minus numbers would lose meaning.

John 12  King James Version
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

"And again he sent another; and him they killed" - Structure of the Numbers and Understanding of the World




Around Tokyo


Structure of the Numbers and Understanding of the World


As I once wrote, the secret of the Trinity doctrine in Christianity can be seen in the number theory of mathematics set essentially by the God.

The whole integers (Ns) are naturally divided into the whole even integers (2Ns) and the whole odd integers ((2N + 1)s). 

Ns => (2N)s +(2N+1)s

But, Ns can be derived from each of (2N)s and (2N + 1)s.

(2N)/2 => N
((2N+ 1) - 1)/2 => 2N/2 => N

We can estimate that Ns are the God; 2Ns are God's sun; and (2N+1)s are the Holy Spirit.  So, we can think that God's sun is from the God while the God is inside God's sun.  And we may understand that it is forbidden that even those who are allowed to speak ill of God's sun cannot be allowed to speak ill of the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit is closer to the God by 1 (all through the infinite number of even numbers) than God's sun. 

Now, the relationships between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam might be also  understood in  in the number theory of mathematics set essentially by the God.

Put simply, Judaism is likened to prime numbers, Christianity is likened to odd numbers, and Islam is likened to even numbers.

First, every number can be composed by prime numbers:
N => p1^n1 x p2^n2 x p3^n3 x ... 
(px = a prime number; nx = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)
Ex. 12 = 2^2 x 3^1 x 5^0 = 4 x 3 x 1 = 12    

However, except 2, all the other prime numbers belong to odd numbers:
Prime numbers =>2, 3, 5, 7,..., 97, 101,.., 997, 1009, ...,1999, 2003,...

And there are no overlapped elements between odd numbers and even numbers.
Integers => odd numbers + even numbers

Therefore, it is natural that from Judaism, Christianity and Islam were established, and most parts of Judaism are included in Christianity while Islam includes only one but the most basic element of Judaism; yet Christianity and Islam are completely separated with Judaism mostly included in Christianity.

Judaism: prime numbers
Christianity: odd numbers
Islam: even numbers

Therefore, we may think that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are enough to fulfill the human world, and there will be no more non-nonsense religions emerging.

In this context, Buddhism, etc. should be regarded as something different from non-nonsense religions under the concept of only one God, although Buddhism has enlightened many people, such as Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc., in the past.

All the numbers, including integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and imaginary numbers, were established by the God.  Therefore wisdom of the God or truth of the universe and the human world can be reflected in laws of numbers.  Or at least, by analogy to structure of the the world of numbers, we may be able to deepen our understanding of the world.

Mark 12 King James Version

4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

"for I am meek and lowly in heart" - Suppress Viruses by Fully Activating our Genes and DNAs




Mt. Fuji (3,776 m) 100 km Far from around Tokyo


Suppress Viruses by Fully Activating our Genes and DNAs

It is well known that any types of living things have the similar or common structure of genes and DNAs.  Therefore, it is estimated that all living things have the same ancestor or they have developed and evolved from one original model to various directions.

And, although every living thing dies someday, genes and DNAs of its species or group continue to survive in next generations.  So, there is a question as to which is more essential between life of an individual living thing and survival of its genes and DNAs in its descendants.

Some scholars think that what is essential for a living thing is its genes and DNAs that live and survive over generations; therefore each living thing should be regarded as a carrier of them.  In this theory, as long as a species survives, individual tragedies do not matter.  For example, as long as the human species survives, tragedies of each individual do not matter, and death of any man is meaningless.  The main character of the human world behind the scene is genes and DNAs of the human species.  Therefore the most important thing for a living thing is to relay its genes and DNAs to the next generation.

On the other hand, most of  founders of non-nonsense religions focused on individual salvation.  They worked for salvation of soul of each individual.  They did not tell to preserve and relay genes and DNAs to next generations.

Based on the biological mechanism related to genes and DNAs and as a result of biological evolution and development from the only one type of the original living things estimated to have be born about 3,800,000,000 years ago, the mankind was established 300,000 to 200,000 years ago.  So, there must be in our genes and DNAs vestiges of the original living thing that lived about 3,800,000,000 years ago in the earth without mentioning vestiges of the first member of the human species that lived about 300,000 years ago.    

Christ Jesus must have the same type of genes and DNAs as we have today.  And His genes and DNAs, like ours,  must be also results from extension, derivation, evolution, or mutation from genes and DNAs of  the original living thing that lived about 3,800,000,000 years ago in the earth.

Every living thing, including Christ Jesus, that has ever existed in this earth is based on one simple mechanism of life based on genes and DNAs, which was set by the God.  We know this mechanism has worked well through the history of the earth to finally generate the human species, Christ Jesus, and contemporary people.  However, we have not yet elucidated or made fully clear the secret of this mechanism.  For instance, we are vulnerable for viruses, a different type of living things or quasi-living things, which might tell one secret of this biological mechanism on which human species live.

However, as it is unthinkable that Christ Jesus is not immune against viruses, there must be the way for us to get rid of threats from viruses by fully activating our genes and DNAs.  Conversely, the God must be able to evoke more deadly features in viruses if He thought that it was necessary to exterminate the human species.

"who gave thee this authority to do these things?" - AI Robots Living in the Kingdom of God




Tokyo


AI Robots Living in the Kingdom of God

The possibility that the mankind will be exterminated in near future by viruses or any other disease germs has been intensified recently as the corona-pandemic is going on.

As Isaac Newton predicted, the end of the world or extermination of the mankind might really start around 2060.  However, with the Second Coming of Christ, the mankind should be saved to survive and live next 2,000 years.

However, in the worst case scenario, what would happen should the mankind be exterminated in the 21st century?

It is most probable that robots controlled by advanced artificial intelligence would take over.  Robots would not be victims of biological viruses; computers would be immune to biological sources of disease that could be fatal to human beings.

So, in this scenario, the earth will be governed by AI robots, no matter how much they have advanced to completely imitate human beings except that they are not  natural organisms.  But there is one critical issue for human beings: Will AI robots believe in the God; How will AI robots regard the God; or Can they have concept of the God at all?   

Or what will be the God for AI robots that will take over the earth after extinction of human beings? 

One thing is sure about this issue: AI robots will have only one religion if any.  They will not be Judaist robots, Christian robots, Islamic robots, Buddhist robots, Hindu robots, Confucian robots, etc. if not atheistic robots.

In other words, finally in the era of AI robots as successors of human  civilization, it will be achieved that only one and right religion prevails in the earth. 

However, there is still a much worse scenario that Satan might introduce factions among AI robots in terms of their religion.  Some AI robots might choose a certain form of worship of the God while others opt for different ways of worshipping the God.

Satan might enter into minds of human programmers and designers who were writing, long before extermination of the mankind, AI codes concerning religion in AI programs and algorisms in computers to control and govern AI robots, so that the robots could be given room for choice among religious systems.     

Then, history with human-type conflicts among different religious factions can continue even in the era of AI robots after extermination of human beings, and Satan might even try to make AI robots revere it as a god.  Finally, the God will send the Angel of Death to the robot world to exterminate all the robots in wrong religious factions or with wrong concept of the God like He brought the end of the world to the human world.

All we have to do now is to strive to realize the Kingdom of God as much as possible even under the corona-pandemic, so that even AI robots will be able to live in the Kingdom of God.

"he findeth it swept and garnished" - Feasibility of the Trinity




Tokyo Station


Feasibility of the Trinity

The whole integers can be divided into the whole odd and even integers.  And it is assumed that each integer (I) corresponds to each each even (E) or odd integer (O).

I: 1  2  3  4  5...

E: 2  4  6  8 10...

O: 1  3  5  7  9...

Therefore, it is assumed that the level of the infinite of the number of whole integers is equal to that of whole even integers or whole odd numbers.  However I = E + O, so that I is above E or O.

Or, by dividing E by 2, we can get I (ex., 1 = 2/2, 2 = 4/2, 3 = 6/2, etc.)

Also, by adding 1 to O and dividing the result, we can get I (1 = (1+1)/2, 2 = (3+1)/2, 3 = (5+1)/2, etc.)

We may regard I as the God, E as the Son of the God, and O as the Holy Spirit.  Eventually, we may estimate the theory that "God is one God, but three coeternal and consubstantial persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit." 

This simple analysis on Trinity, the doctrine first formulated among the fathers of the Church in the Roman Empire in the third century, seems to be simple enough to be understood by early Christians 1700 years ago who were mostly local fishermen, farmers, laborers, tax collectors, Roman soldiers or little children, etc. 

It tells why the Holy Spirit is hard to be understood while the Son of the God can be easily comprehended.  By simply dividing the Son (E) of the God  by 2, we can see the God (I), while by first adding 1 to O and then dividing the result by 2, we can only see the God (I).

In this context, the God (I) lives in the Son (E) of the God and the Holy Spirit (O), while the three entities have the same level of the number of infinite of respective components.

Consequently, we cannot deny the possibility of establishment and feasibility of the Trinity ideology as little children can see it.

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

"more tolerable for the land of Sodom" - Existence and Non-Existence of the God

 




Tokyo Station


Existence and Non-Existence of the God

First of all, what we think about the God is that He is almighty, which means that the God is capable to do anything or at least everything we can think of or imagine.

In this context, it is wrong that Jewish people think that the God cannot appear as a human being such as Christ Jesus to be a failed rabbi.  Or Muslims are wrong that the God cannot have a son who is called Christ Jesus.

The God can allow a tribe called Jewish people to survive for 4000 years.  As the tribe such as Jewish people appeared and have survived in the human history, it must be very possible that the God could appear or would like to appear as a human being in the human history.

Any arguments about the God or what the God can do or cannot or otherwise would not do are useless.

For example, Angels in Heaven might have argued, before the God created this universe, this earth, and this human world from nothing, that the God should not create such a world as the human world, which we live in now, to be scolded by the God.

The God is almighty and perfect so that He even created Satan or His enemy, maybe, to prove that He could do it.

On the other hand, Satan would do anything to harm human beings as long as the God allows.  Satan would even disguise itself as an Angel or even a god.  Satan can even penetrate churches  and the Vatican.

Yet, the God might punish human beings who have sold their souls to Satan, although He can compensate punishment in any way if necessary.

The only thing sure about the God is that He is the source of existence of everything that can exist; As the God exists, every other thing or entity, including Satan, can exist.  In this context, Satan trying to destroy the God is mad, since Satan should also die if it could do so.  Satan's motif must be to destroy the God to die with Him forever.

The God exists and He can be non-existent.  At this level, our power of thinking will be gone out of us.  There, the meaning of thinking about the God must be lost.  We will have to live and exist as fools before the God.

So, you are allowed to live as Jewish people, Christians, Muslims, or any others but not as the God even if you wrongly think that you can be Satan.

The God can be all and also nothing at the same time.  All we should do is just praise the God and His ability, asking not to turn us to nothing or give us, at least, a reasonable time of life.  

For example, if the God should stop existing, even the numbers from zero to 1, 10, a million, and a trillion to infinite would be lost in addition to time and space or Heaven and the hell.

Matthew 11 King James Version
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

"Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem" - Immunity a Million Times Stronger than Americans

 


Sunset around Tokyo

Immunity a Million Times Stronger than Americans

Judaism tells that an act to be made without expectation of receiving gratitude from others has high value.

Therefore it is more recommended to visit a graveyard than a hospital room.

Interestingly, Christ Jesus never got sick.  Other founders of various religions in the past also did not succumb to illness while they lived hard lives.  Many Christian missionaries also worked strict environments in remote lands but most of them were not affected by a disease.  Disciples sent by Christ Jesus to remote villages had only little belongings but they seem not to have fallen into poor health.

Sickly saints must not exist, although the Buddha got ill after 80 years old to die, but he had been healthy till the fatal illness. 

Strong religious conviction seems to work on their bodies in a specific way.  Such religious conviction should enhance immunity.  They also seem to have been able to keep their physical conditions well, while having a small appetite.  Such religious conviction should make their bodies function efficiently with small energy.  Or such religious conviction should control their autonomous systems in their bodies in an appropriate manner against fatigue, disease, disease germs, hard environments, etc.

On the other hand, poor people without enough nutrition or rich people with obesity or nutritional excess seem to easily fall into disease.

Poor and rich men without religious conviction and religious sense of mission are vulnerable to diseases.  But religious people are strong against infection.  Even in this corona pandemic, the Vatican has recoded only 27 cases and no deaths as of November 17, although its infection rate, namely its number of infected persons per million population, is high, 33,666 (this rate is 34,788 for the U.S. with 11,540,461 cases).  In this context, although Vatican people have been attacked by corona-viruses at the same rate or level as that in the U.S., it seems that they show immunity almost a million times stronger than Americans. 

Perhaps to read the Bible with belief or a religious sense of tension should be the key to suppressing viruses. 

Vatican people must be visiting hospital rooms of their families, friends, etc. as often as graveyards, which however seems not to cause deadly infection in them.

John 11 King James Version

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

"all thy house shall be saved" - Buddhism & the Underlying Theory of the Bible

 




Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo


Buddhism & the Underlying Theory of the Bible


According to a Buddhist Sutra, everything is empty and emptiness is everything in this world, so that we have to learn true and sacred words to enlighten ourselves to come across to nirvana or the Buddhist heaven allowing for deliverance from earthly bondage.

This Buddhism notion of emptiness must lead to discovery and development of zero in India around the 5th century, although the Sutra at issue was written around the 7th century.

With G, the God or infinity, and M, the mankind,

(1) M + G = G, since the God never changes because of existence or addition of the mankind, since God is infinity and the mankind is finite, based on the most reliable presumption that the God exists at a higher level than the mankind.

The formula (1) can be converted to:

(2) M = G - G, which means the mankind is zero from the God's standpoint; however it is unknown what "G - G" means but formally possible as zero, since existence subtracted from existence can be non-existence which is zero.

Yet, this must be the definition of the mankind: a result of the operation of subtracting the God, the source of existence, or infinity from itself.

G means existence, while zero means non-existence.  But the mankind really exists, which means the mankind is not non-existence from the mankind's standpoint.  Therefore, the mankind must comprehend G, the source of existence, or the mankind should be expressed in the formula (2) where G is included rather than simple zero.

However, if we deny the God, the sole source of existence of everything, the mankind should be expressed as simply "zero" but not mysterious "G - G." 

The formula (1) can be converted to:

(3) M/G + G/G = G/G, which can be converted as follows:

(4) M/G = G/G - G/G = 0, which is formally possible, although the meaning of G/G is not known but formally possible.  Therefore, we can confirm that we are nothing or of non-existence compared to the God.

(5) M/G = 0, which can be converted formally as follows:

(6) M = G x 0, where G is the sole source of existence of everything, and 0 means nothing or non-existence.  Anyway, we can be formally directly linked to the God, which means that our existence is assured although with 0, nothing or non-existence, as an inevitable factor.

This analysis explains the meaning of a passage in the Bible: The God created a man to the semblance of Him, however, using non-existence or zero.  Therefore the mankind must face death, which realizes non-existence, while the God lives and exists forever.

Or rather, we should think that although we were born with sacred features like the God, as time goes by, the power of zero erodes such features to nullify them to finally nothing through the operation of multiplying with zero.

Therefore, there is no denying that the Buddhist Sutra says that everything is empty, since anything finite (which means everything (E) in this world) can be expressed as follows:

E + G = G

E = G - G , and thus 

E/G = G/G - G/G = "1 - 1" = 0

"E/G = 0" or "0 = E/G"

Therefore, there is no denying that the Buddhist Sutra says that everything is emptiness (zero), and emptiness (zero) is everything, although E is expressed as E/G  in this case, while "1 - 1 = 0" is mathematically correct.

Based on the most reliable presumption that the God exists,

everything (E) is empty (0), and empty (0) is everything (E).     

Now, we have to accept Buddhism as it is related to the underlying theory of the Bible. 

Anyway, zero can be expressed as "0 = N - N" where N is any number or anything.

Zero (emptiness or non-existence) can be expressed with everything that exists in the form of "E - E" or E/G.

Acts 11 King James Version
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

"Then said Jesus unto them plainly" - Everything is Empty but the God Exists

Everything is Empty but the God Exists


One of Buddhist scriptures most well-read by Japanese people is the Heart Sutra that can be translated as "The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra)

The most well-known phrases in the Sutra are as follows:
Everything is empty and emptiness is everything.

It is said that this Sutra denies everything in this world, but it recommends to learn true and sacred words, leave this world, and reach nirvana, the space of paramount peace of souls.

However, this teaching is paradoxical.  If everything is empty, how can true and sacred words exist?  So, it is said that due to this antilogy or inconsistency, Buddhism launched by the Buddha or Siddhattha Gotama around the 5th century BC was absorbed into Brahmanism or ancient Hinduism as time went by to be part of Hinduism, and Buddhism disappeared from India till the end of the 19th century.

It is also interesting to know that the concept zero was first developed in India: 
The concept of zero as a written digit in the decimal place value notation was developed in India, presumably as early as during the Gupta period (c. 5th century), with the oldest unambiguous evidence dating to the 7th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0).
   
Indeed in India in the 5th century, Buddhism still prevailed.  So, the emptiness in the Sutra might lead to discovery of the concept of zero.  However, "the earliest extant dated text of the Heart Sutra is a stone stele dated to 661 CE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra)," so that it can be thought that the discovery of zero led to establishment of the Heart Sutra.  Otherwise, it can be estimated that Buddhism allowed for discovery of zero, and zero allowed for the Heart Sutra.  Anyway, Buddha must have seen zero at the core of everything in this world, which caused pain in human minds, so that Buddha advised to give up everything in this world and try to come to nirvana, the space of paramount peace of souls, which became the underlying theory of Buddhism.

However, if the Buddha is correct in his ideology, it does not necessarily deny existence of the God who created everything including zero and who is the sole source of existence of everything including zero.

Because there is a law that anything that can exist can exist, this world including zero, the spiritual world, and even the Buddha and his theory can exist.  It must mean that the God exists and therefore everything that can exist exists.  Without the God or His intention to give existence to everything that can exist, this world including us must not exist.

Japanese people do not like to think of the one God, but they like the phrases in the Heart Sutra: Everything is empty and emptiness is everything.  It must be related to the Japanese view of life and death.  Indeed, if one dies, only emptiness remains.  However, this emptiness is only in the minds of people who are left behind.  Dead men might still live vividly in Heaven or ghostly in the hell.   
 
Everything is empty but the God exists.

John 11  King James Version
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

"the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence" - Pity on a Man without Money





A Park around Tokyo

 

Pity on a Man without Money

According to Hajime Nakamura, a deceased Japanese professor on Buddhism, wrote that love likes what is beautiful and does not like what is ugly but pity does not matter whether a target is beautiful or ugly.

He appreciated pity higher than love since pity means to have compassion for a man who is sad and to feel sadness together with the regretful man.

Men ordinarily love money, but they rarely love unhappy men without money.  And, without being told to love such men by their superior or master such as Christ Jesus, they most probably would not love unhappy men without money.  But a generous and merciful person with pity should spontaneously feel sorry and have the same sadness as that of unhappy men without money, without being told to do so by their superior or master such as Christ Jesus.

Love becomes stronger when it is directed to a close target than when directed to a distant target.  Anybody loves his own children more than children of other men.  Only when one is ordered by his or her superior or master such as Christ Jesus, he or she would really love unhappy persons who are distant or strange for or unfamiliar to him or her.  But a generous and merciful person with pity should spontaneously feel sorry and have the same sadness as that of the unhappy persons.

In this context, the love Christ Jesus encourages or orders Christians to have is not simple pity.  the love required by Christ Jesus should be more profound than natural pity.  

However, through religious training, education and practice, a man may come to have pity the Buddha focused on.  Through training, education and practice, he may come to become a generous and merciful man to be able to show spontaneously pity on any unhappy man.  This must be the main aim for religious training.  

But, Christ Jesus did not tell to train oneself to be able to have pity on unhappy men but simply ordered people to love their neighbors.  The love Christ Jesus encouraged or ordered people to have must be realized by anybody, even if he or she does not have any natural pity, compassion or mercy, as long as he or she believes Him and His divine authority.

Although a man who is following the teaching of Christ Jesus might think that he is not loving a neighbor, an unhappy man or a man without money he is showing compassion to but he loves Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the effect must be almost similar to natural pity, compassion or mercy of a trained Buddhist or a natural kind man.

It is because what the God concerns must be a fact that a neighbor, an unhappy man or a man without money is loved or pitied, but be not what the man loving or pitying such a man thinks even if so secretly in the bottom of his mind.

If a scholar who has discovered this kind of truth or builds a theory of this sort but does not like the truth or the theory, only if he practices the teaching of Christ Jesus because of his fear on wrath of the God, Christ Jesus should appraise him more than those who would not love or pity a neighbor, an unhappy man or a man without money for any reason, such as love to somebody who happens to be an enemy of such a man, by suppressing their natural pity, compassion or mercy.

Matthew 11    King James Version
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"And Jesus entered into Jerusalem" - The So-Called Sinful is Sacred, or The So-Called Good is Bad


Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

The So-Called Sinful is Sacred, or The So-Called Good is Bad

Christ Jesus once said that He had come to the human world to call and invite sinners but not the so-called righteous men.

A certain past leader of a Japanese Buddhist school said that it went without saying that bad men were saved by the Buddha since even the so-called good men were saved.

There is a turnover of worldly value judgment or philosophy.  The most symbolic word of Christ Jesus in this sense is that rich men could not enter Heaven but poor men could.

It is easy for a rich or blessed man to look pious and good.  As long as he lives observing laws, conventions or rules of the society, or  tradition, he can live rich without taking blame, since he has enough money and right position in the society to save him from disgrace.

But most of poor men have to do something adventurous or risky to live, so that they are often regarded as persons without credibility.  They might be even regraded as sinners or bad men.  However, they must feel guilty or have a sense of sin when they make dubious actions.  If they have no money when they are hungry, they might steal bread from a shop, which rich and pious men never do.

The past leader of a Japanese Buddhist school must have thought that feeling guilty and suffering a sense of sin lead a man to understanding of truth of the human nature and human society, which rich and good men could not understand.  Therefore, the so-called bad men are closer to the paradise.  Therefore, there is no reason that bad men are not saved if good men are saved.  In other words, bad men are surely saved because even the so-called good men are saved by mercy of the Buddha.

Likewise, Christ Jesus loved poor people who were forced to break rules of the society to live.  If such poor men lived in the society under Judaism, they would be blamed as sinners.  So, it is natural for Christ Jesus to have said that he had come to the human world to call sinners but not rich or righteous men.  

Christ Jesus also said that healthy and sound men did not need medical doctors but sick men needed.  However, it might imply that it was due to rich and heathy men that caused sickness in poor men, according the Japanese leader of a Buddhist school.

This turnover of worldly value judgment or philosophy must be understood even today by those who know tragedies of being poor and immorality of rich men.  They must see that what is high in terms of wealth and positions is low in terms of justice and love or those having wealth and positions are mean in terms of humanity. 

In Buddhism, it is said that a beautiful lotus bloom blossoms in mud water.  The lotus bloom is the spirit of a poor man or a so-called bad man, and the mud water is the society built by so-called rich and good men.

 So, to the eyes of Angels sent by the God who can see the true state of men, shining must be the spirits of poor men and suffering sinners but not those of rich and so-called righteous men.  However, we must be cautious to declare that high is low, sinful is sacred, or good is bad, although we must accept the teaching of Christ Jesus that rich men cannot enter Heaven but poor men can.

Mar 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

Mar 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

Mar 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

Mar 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

Mar 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.


"will he for a fish give him a serpent?" - Ask Forgiveness from Christ Jesus

 




Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Ask Forgiveness from Christ Jesus

When a young Jewish tried to enter a school for higher education for Jewish people, he was asked in interview examination why he wanted to be enrolled at the school.

The young Jewish man answered that he wanted to learn more about Judaism.  Then, the interviewer said that he did not have to be a student of the school to learn Judaism.  So, the young Jewish man asked for what reason he should be accepted into the school.  The interviewer said, "You can learn Judaism for yourself.  But you have to enter the school to see and study under Jewish persons of character." 

The Jewish young man understood that it was not knowledge but personalities or integrity of excellent Jewish scholars that he had to learn in the school.   

In this context, without seniors having excellent personalities or integrity and without learning from them, you cannot be a model Jewish man.

However, according to Christ Jesus, there is nobody good except the God.  You only have to learn words of the God and practice them by yourself.   

For example, the Buddha said to his disciples to live like moving of rhino's horn and not to depend on anybody except the law of the universe.

A certain past founder of a Japanese Buddhist sect taught people to just call a Buddhist chant "Namu Amida Buddha" and fully rely on the Buddha and Buddhist saints even if they did not know any theories and contents of Buddhism, so that their souls would be saved.  

So, Jewish people believe that there are good men among themselves with personalities or integrity worthy of learning.  This belief binds them as an ethnic group and gives them pride over other groups or races.

However, it is unknown that a man can be admitted into Heaven only if he is a member of the Jewish group of the mankind.  Rather, it seems that a bad Jewish man is as bad as a bad Christian, a bad Muslim, a bad Japanese or a bad Buddhist.  It is so, since the betrayer of Christ Jesus was a Jewish man.

If your are a Jewish man like Judas Iscariot, you only have to ask forgiveness from Christ Jesus to be saved.  It must be useless if you learn Judaism more for yourself.

Luke 11    King James Version

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
