"being baptized with the baptism of John" - Abraham, the Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and Christ Jesus

Tokyo

Abraham, the Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, and Christ Jesus

Gotama Siddhattha (the Buddha) was born  in ancient India around 550 BC; Confucius was born in ancient China around 550 BC; and Socrates was born  in ancient Greek around 450 BC.

However around the 6th century BC, Hebrews were released from the Babylonian captivity and returned to Jerusalem; subsequently the creed of Judaism was fixed and the Second Temple was built in Jerusalem.

This era between the 6th century BC and the 5th century BC is critical for the mankind.  The spiritual conditions of the mankind that have extended to the 21st century were set in this era of about 2500 years ago.  Eventually God sent His son to Hebrews, although 500 years later after 2500 years ago.  God did not sent His son to ancient India, ancient China, or ancient Greek but to Hebrews.

However, it had been promised to Abraham by God 1500 years before that era of 2500 years ago:
“Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (verses 2-3).

So, piousness of Abraham to God was appreciated more than work by the Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates.  Accordingly, God sent His son to the descendants of Abraham.  And along with deployment of Christianity, Judaism has been also continued and protected.

The Buddha represented self-enlightenment to conquer difficulty of human existence; Confucius represents ethical attitudes to show respect for ancestors; and Socrates represents honest attitudes of men before divinity.   Nonetheless, they could not change God's promise to Abraham.

Probably, Abraham did not think anything but God.  His life was simpler than the Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates.  Abraham must have nothing to worry about and think about except God.

It is not known whether Abraham saw the Great Pyramids in Giza, but His concentration to God did not change or was not averted.  This attitude became part of traditions of the Hebrew people, which must have rejoiced God. 

In other words, the mankind is expected by God to concentrate on God rather than trying to achieve enlightenment, complete ethical attitudes, or establish socially or ideologically righteous way of living. 

There are various types of foods.  But God might expect us to concentrate on our bodies rather than on any foods.  We may be allowed to take any foods while concentrating on our bodies that are more important than any foods.  And Christ Jesus also said not to mind what clothes we should put on, because our bodies are more important than clothes.

However, it seems that God never denies the Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates.  Indeed, there are many situations where their teachings are effective.  However, men have to confront the battle against Satan sooner or later.  And it seems that Abraham's concentration on God is the most effective for winning victory in this battle.

After great learning of the Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates, if men fail to win the battle against Satan, this learning is useless.  However, we may believe that God helps us in this battle only if we concentrate on God like Abraham.

Luk 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Luk 7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luk 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

" the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs" - All about God for the Mankind

Around Tokyo

All about God for the Mankind

One of the mysteries about God is why God created this universe and the mankind.

True religion of the mankind began when they found that God had created them.  Every living thing was borne by its parents.  So, it is natural that some members of the mankind thought that their most distant ancestor must have been God, but they must have also thought that there must have been no parents for God because they also thought that God was what existed always from the past to the future.

And, because it is natural to think God is all and omnipotent, no other elements are needed except God in the universe, the spiritual world, and even in Heaven, etc.  But God created the spiritual world, Heaven, the hell, this universe where the mankind lives, etc.  Without all these elements, God is complete and omnipotent.

But it looks that God is lonely, if He is the only entity that exists in the absolute space.

For example, all the numbers or integers are expressed with the concept and the only one term of  the whole number, but it can be extended to 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. to the infinite number.  And it is business of the ruler of the integers to choose to keep the status of the only term of the whole number or extend it to 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. to the infinite number.

So, it is clear that God had chosen to extend His omnipotent presence to creating the spiritual world, Heaven, the hell, and the universe where the mankind live.

Therefore, it seems appropriate to regard all the elements not as part of the nature of God but as part of His ability to extend His nature.  In other word, Satan, evil and so on cannot be parts of the nature of God but tiny elements that were created for necessity for exercising His omnipotent ability.

Anyway, the last thing the mankind should know is all about God.

Mar 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

Mar 7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

"a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand" - Battle between God and Satan

Shinjuku Gyoen Park, Tokyo

Battle between God and Satan

Christ Jesus never kept dogs and cats, although He sometimes mentioned sheep.

Rather, He said not to give treasures to dogs and pearls to pigs as they were not thankful.  And He also said that no parents would give serpents to their children.

However, He also preached that God took care of birds in the sky and flowers in the fields, adding that men were more valuable than sparrows to be sold at a petty amount of money.

Indeed, the Bible read as follows: God loves one more than another or ones more than others.  Hence, God chose the Hebrews and Abraham, which should be the basics of faith and religion in the mankind.

This might be understood based on the notion that God always minds the battle against Satan.  Anybody, any creatures, any living things, and even any things that are apt to be easily subject to Satan's influence should be alienated.   

The most important thing for God should not be happiness of any man or any group of people but His victory over Satan.  It means that we have to sacrifice our happiness if necessary to defeat Satan by joining God.

However, the secret about this battle between God and Satan still remains for men.   

Anyway, the Gospels should be read from this point of view, in my view.

Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

"which built his house upon a rock" - Eternal Life before One Billion Years Later

Shibuya, Tokyo

Eternal Life before One Billion Years Later

One billion years later, it is expected that about 27% of the entire oceans will be subducted or sink into the mantle, and the solar luminosity will increase by 10% from the current level; hence, 1.1 billion years later, it is anticipated that the seawater will vanish from the earth.

On the other hand, about one billion years ago, a super-continent called Rodinia was formed as the the huge single continent on the earth, with multi-celled organisms emerging.

It is unthinkable that the mankind will survive for next one billion years, since the earth itself will be the uninhabitable planet.  The mankind will  have to leave the earth and move to another planet to continue its history and presence in the space.

As 2019 has come so surely, the year 20190 will come surely, and 201900 and 2019000 will come; and finally 1000000000 will come while the earth still circles around the sun.  But the mankind will never live on the earth, if they survive, in the year of 1000000000.

Then, what civilization will the mankind have at the time if it still exists?  The mankind as a species of living things must disappear.   Immortal robots must take over the mankind.  The civilization must be handed over to super-AI robots that never die or get old while they can travel through the Milky Way galaxy and other galaxies, taking even million years.  And, those robots will not be interested in the human history.  All the past incidents and history among the mankind will be lost and forgotten.

Then, will the robots try to find God or believe in God?

According to a theory, the whole universe will come to its end in 10 to the hundredth power years.  Even AI robots must be exterminated before that time.

So, eventually, everything disappears with the end of the universe.  

However, Christ Jesus said that whoever believed in Him would get eternal life.  So, the final question must be where Heaven is where men and women with eternal life are allowed to live by God?

"whatsoever ye would that men should do to you" - Why We Should Trust in God

Tokyo Bay

Why We Should Trust in God

The fist primate emerged 100 million to 70 million years ago in a form like a rat. The anthropoid primate emerged with the ability to rear up 40 million yeas ago. Then, the Hominoidea emerged 30 million years ago without tails.  Then, Hominidae evolved 17 million years ago, whose descendants still live today as chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.  And between 60 million and 50 million years ago, Homininae evolved with the ability of biped walking.  And finally, 2 million years ago, Homo habilis evolved as the first member of Hominini.

However, it was just 2000 years ago that God sent his Son, Christ Jesus, to the mankind.  And it had taken 2000 years from Abraham to Christ Jesus.

It means that there are many steps for God to exert His power on the mankind.  God did not create the mankind 100 million years ago in the world occupied by dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs had to be exterminated with a huge meteor 65 million years ago when the distant ancestors of the mankind were a kind of rats.   Then God waited for 63 million years till Homo habilis evolved.  And finally 4000 years ago, God chose Abraham who set the religious foundation for the coming of Christ Jesus 2000 years later.

That is why it is hard for us to see what we are, since it requires for us to grasp these series of evolution over 100 million years.

We can understand what we are only from a view point of God.  To understand a view point of God, we have to learn the words of God.  And, Christ Jesus said that the mankind were more valuable than sparrows God took care of.

As God took such long procedures, He would not abandon the mankind easily.  Otherwise, God should have put an end at any time in the path to the evolution to H. s. sapiens, namely the mankind. 
That is why we should trust in God.

"If a man shall say to his father or mother" - Stop Using Money, even Digital Money

Tokyo

Stop Using Money, even Digital Money

Why is the Bible of Christianity so real even today, after 2000 years since it was written?

Why are the Gospels so real even today 2000 years after they were written?

It is the theme of the Bible and the Gospels that made those books so real even today.  The theme of those holy books is the battle between the God and Satan.  And this battle has continued in these 2000 years; it is still fought today.  Therefore, these holy books are still real.

What symbols Satan was money even 2000 years ago, so that this battle is real as we still use money.

The battle between the God and Satan has been fought in the human world where Satan has tempted men to sell their souls to earn money.  This status has not been changed in these 2000 years.

So, when men stop using money, this battle might end, and the Gospels and the Bible might become obsolete.  As long as men use money, even if digital money, Satan can still continue the fight against the God. 

Regardless of their work and professions, men must receive what they need for their living.  They should get what is needed without using money.  And, for a man to live, he does not need much or such things as can be only purchased by big money.  In other words, men can live as poor men.

For example, money is not used in the kingdom of God and Heaven.  However, men in the hell must continue to try to get money as much as possible, trying to buy a right to enter Heaven, only in vain.

But when will the mankind stop using money, even digital money?

"the Pharisees and scribes asked him" - One of 600 Billion Each with 200 Billion Neuron Cells

Tokyo

One of 600 Billion Each with 200 Billion Neuron Cells

According to a certain method of calculating the number of the mankind in the past , the population was about 3.5 million 100,000 years ago, about 40,000 a million years ago, and about 43 two million years ago.

Based on this method, the total number of people who have ever been born in these two million years is about 600 billion.

And only one of them is the Son of God.

Meanwhile, the number of neuron cells in the the cerebral cortex of the brain of a man is 14 billion.  But the number of neuron cells in the whole central nerve, including the cerebellum, is between 100 billion and 200 billion.

On the other hand, the mutational rate of genes in higher forms of life is said to be between 1/100,000 and 1/100,000,00.  However, it is said that there is no such mutation as would be helpful to subsistence of a living thing under natural conditions.

So it is thought that very rare or holy mutation occurred in neuron cells of Christ Jesus that did not cause damage or early death to Christ Jesus but gave him some holy work of his brain.

And, the mankind might still have a chance to generate a unique and holy man as a result of mutation because there have been so many of them.

"unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek" - The Holy Perfect Numbers

Tokyo

The Holy Perfect Numbers

There are only four of the so-called perfect numbers below 10,000:
6, 28, 496, and 8,128.

For example,
1 + 2 + 3 = 6, while the divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.

As for 496, its divisors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, and 248, and thus
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 31 + 62 + 124 + 248 = 496.

However, these perfect numbers below 10,000 may be relevant to early Christianity.
Around A.D. 6, Christ Jesus was borne and registered in Roman Emperor-governed Palestine.

Around A.D. 28, Christ Jesus started His mission.

Around 496, the Christianity-converted  Western Roman Empires collapsed.

Around 8128, the kingdom of God might come to the earth, thanks to Christ Jesus, or the human history will be completed.

If God created and has been always watching the mankind and their world, the glory of God, namely the glory of Christ Jesus, must be reflected in the human history and science.  So, it must not be futile to  try to see any glimpse of God in science, mathematics, or the system of numbers.

I believe that God is pleased as we have found this implication of perfect numbers, although it might suggest that the mankind will be exterminated in the year of 8128 for some reason beyond our current imagination.

"But woe unto you that are rich!" - Complete Emptiness, Nothing, Zero but God

Tokyo

Complete Emptiness, Nothing, Zero but God

There is beginning in everything, according to human wisdom, although there might not be an end for anything as it can be endless or circulating.

So, what is the beginning of God?  As for Christ Jesus, it can be thought that His beginning was God or Father in Heaven.  But what is the beginning of God?  Or what was there before God?

As God is omnipresent and almighty, God is the only and one source of everything including its feature of being existent or in existence.  So before God, there is nothing existent or in existence.

It means this status of nothing is superior to God.  However, according to human wisdom, nothing can be superior to God.  So, the status of being nothing before God is part of features of God.  God means to include both the status of being existent and not being existent or being God and not being God.  God can be both being anything and not being anything.  God is the status both after appearance of God and before appearance of God Himself.  It means God is "Yes" and "No," which is however not allowed for men as Christ Jesus said.

It means that it is useless for a man to think of what existed and how it was before appearance of God, since men are not given the ability to understand the answer, if any. 

If there are no numbers or integers, the status might be expressed with zero.  But this zero should include all the numbers or integers toward the infinite, because there cannot be other sources than zero that can generate anything since there is nothing than this zero.  Or the boundary of this zero must be the infinite.

In other words, before God, there must have been God as something that was precedent to God, because God is the only one that rules everything including Himself, nothing, zero, and even what is not part of God or does not belong to God.

In the world of nothing (meaning that nothing exists) or zero, which is also God,  God decided to exist, so that everything that later became existential in the space came to owe its existence to God.  If God suddenly changed His mind and stopped being existent, everything in our world would disappear and be lost to go back to nothing and zero.  It must be God's love that He does not suddenly change His mind to stop being existent.  In this context, this universe was created by love of God.

But what is God who had, say, existed even before nothing and zero, which came to be the source of everything and all the numbers, or even before Himself? 

Are we simply prisoners of the world of God or mad like a brainwashed man, even if there might not be God around there or anywhere?

Complete emptiness, however, cannot be stable or enough to contain God, if God wants to exist.

"treasures in heaven" - Even a Dollar in This World

Around Tokyo

Even a Dollar in This World

If you are rich and happy in this world, you will be poor and suffer in the hell.  But if you are poor and unhappy in this world, you will be rich and happy in Heaven.

This teaching of Christ Jesus implies that the total of wealth and happiness is constant all through this world and anther world consisting of Heaven and the hell.  The more you get in this world, the less you get in another world.

If poor and unhappy men believe in Christ Jesus, they should be  consoled very much.  But rich and happy men would not believe in Christ Jesus, because they are too busy enjoying their rich lives.

To understand depth of the meaning of this teaching requires love to the poor and unhappy.  Without love to them, you cannot accept this teaching.  And if you cannot accept the teaching, you cannot understand the meaning.

From the beginning, God created everyone with the same love to him or her.  God must prepare a mechanism to solve any problems arising from iniquity and the gap between the rich and the poor.  All we have to do is believe love of God to love, goodness and justice.

Otherwise, Satan might capture minds and heats of everyone and make him or her its slave by use of power of money.

In other words, to live with one million dollars in this world or to live with one million dollars in another world.  The former leads to the hell while the latter leads to Heaven.

It is because you cannot earn even a dollar in this world without sacrificing others and betraying God.

"his disciples went down unto the sea" - God in the Brain or the Brain from God

Around Tokyo

God in the Brain or the Brain from God

It is said that there is a special location in the human brain where a man can see a god.

The location called the temporal lobe in the brain judges the space around him by synthesizing information input from the eyes and ears  as well as senses of touch.  But it was found that when a man starts praying, information coming to the temporal lobe is restricted and prevented.  Then, during praying, the man starts to feel space different from ordinary space.  Consequently, some people may see a god in this state.

Therefore, some scientists think that a god is something that is created in the human brain.  But some person of religion thinks that God gave the function to see God in the human brain.

It is said that there are 100 billion or 200 billion nerve cells (neurons) in central nerves of a human brain.  It is natural that that there are few singular cells.  And the number of connections of neurons or synapses is said to be 150 trillion.  It is natural that there are several singular cell connections.

If God had created the mankind, there must be a possibility that He put some special mechanism in the human brain with which each man can contact with God if he or she wishes.  So, part of the mission of medical doctors should to find such a mechanism.  However, that a man can feel God by such a mechanism does not mean that God is created by the man; rather it should be thought that God gave such a mechanism to the mankind as a gift for promoting intimacy between the mankind and God.

Yet, it is dangerous to try to activate such a mechanism by use of drugs, chemicals, or such things.  It should be activated in a reasonable situation.

For example, when a man is dying, such a mechanism may be naturally activated to make the man prepared for the afterlife or the spiritual universe.  So,  near-death experiences can be explained from this point of view.

Anyway, it needs a more high-performance computer than existent ones to understand functions of all the 200 billion nerve cells and 150 trillion connections among them.

Nonetheless, there must come a day in the future that a super AI computer presents an image of God before the mankind, if it is not achieved in the 21st century.

"and gave them power over unclean spirits" - God, Goodness, Evil, and Satan

Tokyo Bay

God, Goodness, Evil, and  Satan

There is an enigma about God and goodness.

God loves goodness and hates evil.  Then God could send good spirit to the mind of every human being.   If so, everyone should be born with the mind loving goodness and justice.  In this case, there is no evil in the human world.

However, some people are born with spirit loving goodness but others are born with spirit loving less and less goodness.  As a result, there is full evil in this world.

Yet, God is almighty.  He is the lord even in the spiritual world.  God can send good spirit to everyone.  But it is said that spirit freely comes down to human beings.  It means that there is no control by God on what spirit is given to a human being.

Therefore, it can be understood that God praised Jesus when Jesus came to the River Jordan, as if God had been surprised to see the spirit in Jesus.   It means that the spirit of the Son of the God came down to the mind of Jesus by chance.

It seems that God expected human beings to have ordinary spirit but come to believe in God and follow the words of God through experiences in his or her life in the world.  However, God set a mechanism where the spirit of the Son of God comes down to a human being by chance someday.

This uncertainty must, however, serve the intention of God related to creation of human beings.  Nonetheless, the timing of the appearance of the Son of God in the history seems not to be randomly decided.  Christ Jesus seems to have come to the human world at the right time, namely around A.D. 1.  And, God was pleased to see Jesus around the Jordan River, suggesting that God did not know beforehand when Christ Jesus came to this world.

Anyway, it is still an enigma that God did not set a rule that only good spirit comes down to human beings when each of them is born.  The answer must be that because God had already created Heaven where only souls with good spirit lived, He needed different situations in the human world, although He must have also created the hell where only souls with evil spirit lived.   Finally, this human world is not Heave.  Satan and devils are allowed to interfere with human beings in this world, although the human world is not intended by God to be the hell.

It might reflect the policy of God in dealing with Satan.  The relationship between God and the human beings might be secondary, but the relationship between God and Satan is primary.

However, Christ Jesus focused on human beings but not Satan.  We must first believe in Christ Jesus, since God is too great for human beings.

"she was healed of that plague" - God is Always Right

Around Tokyo

God is Always Right

God can interfere with the human world and the history and fate of the mankind.  God can interfere with the history and fate of any tribes such as Jewish people.  And God can interfere with the fate and success or failure of any man.  This must be the core of confidence in God by most of Judaists, Christians, Muslims, etc.

We may admit that God exists and God is omnipotent, but if there is no relationship between God and human beings, we should not mind God.  And Satan can easily tempt the human beings and force them to obey his will, thus creating the hell in this world, since the human beings have no reason for resisting Satan as he promises them fortune, wealth, success, and richness in addition to the hidden fate of going down to the hell after death.

So, the most important aspect about God is that there is sure relationship between God and each of human beings but not the issue whether or not God exists.

God has sure relationship with each of human beings, and God can interfere with or decide his or her fate as He wishes.  This must be the core of belief in God.  If we pray to God, God hears us; as we believe so, we pray to God.

However, if we asked God to give us US$1 million, He would not respond, even if Satan should hear us.

So, Christ Jesus said that if you believed in God through Him, you would obtain eternal life.  God promised believers happiness in Heaven but not worldly happiness.  Whatever believers asked God for should be realized after your death in Heaven, if you are admitted to Heaven.  And this must be the core of belief in God.

So, Christ Jesus said that what if you had big wealth but you were destined to the hell.  In this context, it can be understood that Jewish people have never abandoned their faith in God despite the Holocaust or the huge tragedy in WWII.

Yet, we may be allowed to believe that God interferes with and decides the fate and success or failure in this world of any man.  But we are not in the position to request God to give good fortune in this world.  Although God can handle and treat any man as He wishes in this world, we cannot expect God to give us good fortune in this world for some reason.  It solely depends on God.  And we cannot easily understand the reason why God saves us or God does not.  For Heavenly reasons and reasons related to the hell, God saves us or God does not save us.  All we have to do is just to believe that God is always right even if He does not save us in a predicament in this world as pious Jewish people did after the Holocaust.

And after Death of the Brain

Everybody can take images and sounds from TV radio waves spreading in the air surrounding the earth only if he or she has a TV set.

Or everybody can enjoy a TV movie story on a TV set that can change TV radio waves into electronic signals that can present images and sounds through electric circuits of the TV set.  So, TV viewers can see every scene, incident, human and natural work, etc. on the TV screens.  However TV radio waves themselves are useless for human beings without televisions.

The  TV radio waves emitted from TV stations are simply physical electromagnetic waves that can, however, contain information about images and sounds.  These electromagnetic waves are essentially generated in machines in TV stations from controlled movement of electrons.  So, the electrons are the key to TV dramas and news reports that appear on the TV screen.

This movement of electrons are also the essence of work of the human brains.  Brain cells and cranial nerves flow and exchange electrons among them for their work necessary for natural and intellectual work for  human beings.  And, this movement of electrons cause voltages and electrical currents  which can be used for medical observation, and of course electromagnetic waves, although very weak and subtle.

If there was a micro machine, a type of microscopic TV set, with it, one might see images and sounds.  Then one can see  images and hear sounds in the brain of another.  But who has such a super machine?  Angels of God must have.

In this way, God can know everything, every work of our brains, and contents of our minds.  So, Christ Jesus said that God even knows the number of hairs of everyone.

But who else watches the super TV sets in our brains, presenting work of our brains and contents of our minds?  It must be a spirit of each one, which is sent by God from the spiritual world to the brain of each one.

So, when the body of a man dies and the brain ceases to work, his spirit leaves his brain and returns to the spiritual world, so that God judges what the spirit has seen in the brain.

What is meaningful in the brain from a view point of human beings but not only in terms of physics can be only handled by his or her spirit coming from the spiritual world. 

In this context, we are not simply material entities that have no spirits but also part of spiritual existence.  And after death, our life should be transferred to a spirit who has long observed work of each one's brain.

Luk 5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Luk 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

"And they come to Jesus" - Spirit, Mind, Soul, and Eternal life

Spirit, Mind, Soul, and Eternal life

Christ Jesus once said that those who believed in Him and God would live even if they had died.

It means that after a man dies physically or his body dies, he could live spiritually.  The spirit of a man can have its own life, and through the spirit he can live after his physical death.

Christ Jesus also said that God is the spirit and God never dies.  So, if a man becomes a pure spirit without a physical body, he can live spiritually like God.

Our minds are contained in our physical brains, so that we are apt to think that mind is an adjunct to the brain or the physical body.  But, the truth must be the brain or the physical body is an adjunct to the spirit.

It is also because that as God is the spirit while He created this physical world and universe where our physical bodies belong, this physical world and universe is an adjunct to the spirit of God.  Therefore, fundamentally, spirit comes before a physical entity of a man.

In this context, our physical bodies or brains exist for us to develop our spirit in the physical world and universe.  And when our physical bodies die, our spirit should go to the spiritual world that belongs more directly to God than our physical bodies and the physical world.

Based on the words of Christ Jesus, our spirit should leave our bodies when we die and go to the spiritual world; otherwise Heaven and the hell about which Christ Jesus talked would be nonsense.

But what are our spirits?  A spirit must be extension of the mind of each man.  Even if you deny the existence of God, you are using your mind to think so, which means that you are also a spiritual entity that can exist, since God is the spirit.

Our minds are materially work of our brains.  Work of a brain is chemical and physical reactions of brain cells and cerebral nerves.  However, molecules and atoms as well as electrons are materials a unit of which cannot produce a mind or a spirit.  A mass, namely a brain, of billions or more of cells, molecules and atoms as well as electrons functions to produce a specific chemical and biological state which is a mind.  However, a mind does not belong to materials but constitute a spiritual world that must be part of the spiritual world where God lives.

The Bible says that a spirit comes down to each man like a dove flies to each man.  Then a spirit grows in each man and a soul is formed in each man.  Under the soul and spirit, a mind of each man should work.

Anyway, Christ Jesus said not to be afraid if a man should be killed for his faith in Christ Jesus and God, because such a man can get eternal life.

Mar 5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Mar 5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

" Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not" - Christ Jesus and God in the Spiritual World

Christ Jesus and God in the Spiritual World

Christ Jesus said that God knew the numbers of hairs on our heads.  The Bible says that Christ Jesus knew what people thought.  But how can God know how we look and  what we think?

As there is no entity around us always watching us, God does not observe us like someone using a surveillance camera.  As our minds cannot be seen from the outside, God is not outside us.

Therefore, God is inside our mind and simultaneously outside our body.  It means that God does not belong to this world but has channels to see our thought in our minds.  It also means that God is in a different world or above the dimensions of the space and time of our world.  God lives in the world different from our world, where any natural laws we know are useless.

Our science is useless in the world beyond our material world.  So, Christ Jesus said that God was the Spirit.  Therefore God can see our appearances and minds without being noticed by us.  And we have no knowledge about the spiritual world where any natural laws we know are useless.  But it seems that our minds belong to the spiritual world as Christ Jesus said to adore God with our spirits.

However our minds do not exist without our brains while we are alive.  But Christ Jesus said that we could get eternal life if we had faith in God and we would not die as long as we believed in Christ Jesus even if we died physically.  So, we can spiritually live forever if we believe in God and Christ Jesus.  This is the critical teaching of Christ Jesus.

God never dies as He was not even born but exist always in the past, at present time, and in the future to forever.   So, Christ Jesus is alive in the spiritual world.

We cannot grasp the spiritual world, but we have our minds.   Even anybody who does not believe existence of God surely admits that he or she has a mind and can think.  But this ability to have mind and think anything must be part of the function of the spiritual world.  In other words, that we can think in our minds is a proof that we are part of the spiritual world and thus conversely the spiritual world, including Heaven and the hell, exists.

Men would cheat others to get one or two dollars.

Men would bully others to get 10  or 20 dollars.

Men would intimidate others to get 100  or 200 dollars.

Men might commit a crime to get 10,000  or 20,000 dollars.

Men could violate and harm others to get 100,000 or  and 200,000 dollars.

Men would even do any foolish action to get 1 or 2 million dollars.

Men would even kill another to get 10 or 20 million dollars.

Men would even kill 10 people to get 100 or 200 million dollars.

Men would even kill 100 people to get 1 or 2 billion dollars.

That is why Christ Jesus said to hate money and love God.
