"many devils were entered into him" - Chance of Salvation over Time and Space

Chance of Salvation over Time and Space

You can recall what you thought abut 2 minutes ago.  You can recall what you were doing 2 hours ago.  You can remember what was going on 2 days ago.  You can remember what you planned 2 weeks ago.  You can remember what your family was doing 2 months ago.  You must be able to evoke the situations surrounding you, your family, your friends and your colleagues 2 years ago.  You must be able to call up what important things happened in your community and society 2 years ago.  You must be able to call to mind what critical things occurred in your nation 20 years ago.  You must be able to look back to what decisive things occurred in the world 200 years ago.  And you have to recapture what God allowed to happen among the human beings 2000 years ago.

I mean that the historical fact that Christ Jesus emerged in the human world is linked to your presence in the community of your country at this moment of today in this month of this year in this century of this second millennium.

In other word, you are connected in seamless manners to Christ Jesus beyond any geological conditions and over time.

And what is the most important is that hundreds of millions or more of learned and pious people have believed or could not deny that Christ Jesus was the Son of God.

So absolutely, the power, the dignity, and the glory of the Son of God must cover you beyond any geological conditions and over time.

Accordingly, effect of the love and anger of God should cover you.  However, if you do not have ability to sense it, you had better think of what you are.

If you can see the bright light shining and coming to you from far away geologically and in terms of time, say, over 2000 years, you may have a chance of salvation by Christ Jesus.

Lu:8:28: When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
Lu:8:29: (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
Lu:8:30: And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

"John the Baptist: but some say, Elias" - Accumulate Wealth in Heaven

North of Tokyo, Winter

Accumulate Wealth in Heaven

It was 2000 years ago that Christ Jesus lived in Palestine. 

However, people living today did not even live 200 years ago.  And they will not surely live 200 years later.  Yet, nobody feels fear if they find that they did not live 200 years ago, although they may be afraid that they cannot live 200 years later.

Or for most people, they will not even live 100 years later, and when they think of it, they may be afraid that their death will surely come within 100 years.  But nobody would feel fear when they find that they did not exist and live 100 years ago.

Before the birth of anybody, the world existed and history was going on.  And, nobody feels fear that they did not exist, say, 100 years ago.  But when they think that they will not live and exist 100 years later, which means that they will die within 100 years, they may feel fear. 
 
The only solution to this fear is that God can give eternal life to believers.

From the beginning, why don't people feel fear when finding that they did not exist, say, 100 yeas ago?  But they are surely afraid that they will die within 100 years.

People do not feel fear knowing that there was the world even before they were born.  But they would feel fear thinking that they will die sooner or later while the world is going on.

Before people were born, they did not exist in this world.  After they die, they will not exist in this world.  It is as if people were going from nothing to nothing or from naught to naught, and going for no purposes.

However, Christ Jesus said to accumulate and keep wealth in Heaven but not in this world where wealth gets rotten.  It must mean that there is a chance to enjoy wealth in Heaven after death.  And the purpose of life in this world is to accumulate and keep wealth in Heaven.

To have faith in Christ Jesus is to believe this teaching.  However, wealth and treasure meant here should not be material, since Heaven is not material.  And life people will be given in Heaven must not be material, too.

"And he took the blind man by the hand" - Miracle on a Man Pretending to be Disabled

Tokyo Bay

Miracle on a Man Pretending to be Disabled

There must have been poor men who pretended to be physically handicapped, such as being blind or with paralyzed or disabled legs, to raise sympathy and accept charity, even in Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

When Christ Jesus met with such a man, He did not scold the poor man but show His love to the man.  The pretending panhandler felt His love and stopped his pretension.  It is because while no others could see his pretension but he felt that Christ Jesus saw not only his histrionic behavior in the street but also his life of misery.

However, it is thought that Christ Jesus could really heal the sick, in addition to pretenders who tried to look sick or handicapped.  Christ Jesus must have been able to charge His physical energy to the bodies of sick people.  The energy must have got into their bodies to activate cells and immune systems to overcome sickness or recover lost physical functions.  And His sense of love to the sick and the disabled must have conveyed His healing energy.

So, even today, what medical doctors need is this sense of love to the sick and the disabled more than modern medicines and medical treatment.

For example, no modern medical care could allow men to live forever.  But Christ Jesus said that if a man believed in Him, the man could get eternal life.  Indeed, eternal life is the most valuable thing for anyone.  But to believe Him means to hear teachings of God or Christ Jesus and practice them.

Truly, Christ Jesus said to women that those who believed Him and act according His words are His mother and sisters.

Therefore, even a poor man who begs money from passersby by pretending a disabled man could be welcomed as a brother of Christ Jesus in Heaven if only he believed Him and practiced His teachings.  Then, it would be really called a miracle on a man pretending to be disabled.

"no man laid hands on him" - Right View on History

The Arakawa River around Tokyo

Right View on History

No animals than the mankind have a sense of history.  Animals mostly concern about their individual existence, subsistence, and survival.  In this context, the mankind left the realm of animals when it came to think about history.  So, the human civilization began when a myth was created by each tribe.  But God seems to have been pleased with the myth by Jewish people more than the myths by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, etc.

Without a sense of history, even a man will do any stupid thing like, say, Trump.  However, with misunderstanding of history, men will do more stupid things like Chinese leaders in Beijing.  What is worse, without a spirit to candidly observe history and understand the meaning of history, a tribe will also behave madly like South Koreans stupidly and hollowly attacking Japan, since Japan occupied Korea between 1910 and 1945, while Japan provided huge aid to South Korea after WWII.   

In this context, it is very dangerous to have a king or an emperor in a nation who believes that he is a descendant of a god.  And one of such royal families is the Imperial Family of Japan.  That is why all the Japanese people fought, like brainwashed members in a cult religious group, the wars against the US and China in WWII.

However, the focus here is on the Vatican.  The Pope is virtually an emperor of the Christian kingdom on the earth.   But it does not seem that he is living in the history of the Vatican, Christianity, and Judaism.  The Vatican should explain what it has performed in the past.   And the Pope should tell every communication by each predecessor with God and Christ Jesus.

Nonetheless, God was, is, and will be forever.  Only God has the complete and perfect view on the history of the mankind.

Anyway, learning of and having right view on history are essential for human beings to be civilized and pious before God.

Joh:8:20: These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

"the testimony of two men is true" - The Second Coming of Christ Jesus in the Early 21st Century

From Tokyo Bay to the Pacific Ocean

The Second Coming of Christ Jesus in the Early 21st Century

It is unknown when Christ Jesus would come back to this world.

Christianity is a religion to believe this creed that Christ Jesus will come back to this world to judge and save people.  So, for the so-called Christians, the Gospel or the story of Christ Jesus is not completed.

In the past, there were some people who claimed that he was Christ Jesus coming back or the second Christ Jesus; however none has been officially judged to be such.

To be judged to be Christ Jesus coming back to the world, the man has to show authority he has been given by God.  He must be able to perform various miracles, healing the sick and driving out demons.  And people see the glory of God through him.

However, in these 2000 years, many people, including the past Popes, have died without seeing the second coming of Christ Jesus.  So, it might mean that these dead are not truly dead, but their souls are waiting for the second coming of Christ Jesus, too.  When Christ Jesus comes back, these dead people might be also judged and saved or cursed finally.  Until then, their souls must be held in special status between Heaven and the hell.

For Christ Jesus to come back to this world, the history of the mankind must reach a decisive point of time.  It may be the time when a kind of annihilation of the mankind is close like 65 million years ago when a huge meteor fell onto the earth to wipe out dinosaurs.  Or it may be the time when the mankind starts to apply genetic technology to themselves for them to violate the field of God.  But most probably it must be the time when all the mankind starts to loose respect and faith in God, which means the time when Satan starts to completely control the mankind.

This material civilization has made the mankind move away from the teaching of God.  For example, people have come to mostly think of economy or money, what can be bought by money, and riches realized by money.  And in reverse proportion, people have come to talk less and less about God.  So, some day there may be the last man that is talking and thinking about God.  And, at least in this situation, it is likely that God will allow Christ Jesus to come back to this world and restore faith in God among people.

When Satan thinks that he has defeated God and Christ Jesus as there is almost nobody that believes in God, the God or Christ Jesus should throw the world in reverse.  And this effect must also cover the space of human souls and the spiritual world.

Anyway, 2000 years have passed since the first coming of Christ Jesus while it had been 2000 years after Abraham that Christ Jesus first came to this world.  A great crisis must be today coming close to us in terms of our faith in God as the entire mankind.   In this context, it is no wonder that Christ Jesus come back to this world in the early 21st century.

"Samaria had received the word of God" - Seek Good, and Not Evil

Tokyo Bay to the Pacific Ocean

Seek Good, and Not Evil

There are certain passages in the Old Testament that symbolize Judaism as follows:

Amo 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isa 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Isa 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Judaism clearly emphasizes importance to choose good over evil.  And good is to take care of the minorities and the oppressed people, orphaned minors and widows.

This religion does not depict Heaven and the hell in details, but encourages to do good and avoid evil.  And this characteristics was further intensified by Christ Jesus.  Without Judaism and Christianity, people would naturally pursue their own profits even if they have to sacrifice goodness.

Consequently, we now know that God loves goodness but Satan likes evil.  And, the reason why God recommends human beings to seek goodness must be that He loves them.  Unless doing good, human being will come to be familiar with evil, and eventually they will be captured by Satan.   God must be sorry for human being to be controlled by Satan whose aim is to destroy human beings.  As long as human beings are trying to do good and avoid evil, they can be free from Satan and will not fall into the hell.

 Goodness or virtue and badness or evil are the main theme of Judaism and Christianity.   Human beings are requested to do good before they are admitted into Heaven.  No other complicated or sophisticated creeds might not be necessary for men to be saved.

"shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" - Gun Control is Essential More than Religion

Tokyo Bay

Gun Control is Essential More than Religion

According to the Embassy of Japan in the United States of America:
The difference in the number of murder cases per 100,000 citizens between Japan and the US is 0.8 to 4.8 as of 2010.
The difference in the number of injury cases between Japan and the US is 20.7 to 252.3.
The difference in the number of robberies between Japan and the US is 3.1 to 119.1.

However, the US with population three times larger than Japan's is a Christian country while Japan is a kind of Buddhist country.  For example, a US President always concludes his official message with the word, "God Bless You!," but no Japanese Prime Ministers have ever used such a Christian term in public.  And, no one in real thinks about why America is more dangerous than Japan is.

More specifically, the murder rates in countries per 100,000 citizens as of 2017 are as follows:
USA: 5.32
Israel: 1.38
France: 1.27
UK: 1.20
S Korea: 0.59
China: 0.56
Norway: 0.53
Indonesia: 0.43
Qatar: 0.37
Hong Kong: 0.33
Japan: 0.24

So, Japan is safer than the leading Christian country US, the Jewish country Israel, the typical Western European countries, other East Asian countries, Islamic countries, and even well controlled city countries.

It should be noted that Japan had been the world No.2 GDP country in the late 20th century and before 2010 next to the US.

And it is true that possession of guns and other fire arms is almost completely forbidden in Japan.  No ordinary households in Japan have guns and other fire arms since the late 16th century when arquebus hackbuts or matchlocks were introduced in Japan by Lusitanians or Portuguese.

However, it is deplorable to see that a mad Japanese uses gasoline as a weapon to revenge himself for any cause no one can understand.

In a non-Christian country, Japan, if guns could be purchased freely by citizens, tens or hundreds of people must be killed every day.  So, gun control is essential for peace of lives of people, no matter what religion the society respects.

"when Jesus was entered into Capernaum" - Power of God against Diseases

 Tokyo Bay

Power of God against Diseases

It is apparent that Christ Jesus could heal any sick persons.  But what medical methods did He use?

He did not use any medicines but his own salvia and His hands to touch a sick man.  Then, the blind could get his sight, a lamed man could come to move normally, and a leaper and a sick woman were healed.  What's more, a crazy wild man haunted by a devil could be freed from the devil.

Physically and spiritually sick persons were healed by receiving super-natural healing power of Christ Jesus.

It is said that cancer cells die at the temperature of 42.5℃ or more and other disease germs die at about 100℃. Today, sterilization is also made by irradiating ultraviolet rays with the wavelength between 300 and 200 nm.  So, healing of a sick man may be possible only by using heat, ultraviolet rays, acids and alkalies, etc. without modern medical drugs.

Christ Jesus must have had the special ability even to physically extinguish causes of diseases by using those factors, because any incidents in this world must follow the law of nature.  But how Christ Jesus could exert His ability only with His body to achieve healing effect is a mystery.

Human bodies are made of chemical compounds, molecules and atoms.  And these substance can emit heat, electromagnetic rays, etc. and produce acids and alkalies.  So, if we could help our body cells work against diseases, we may cure ourselves.  But to acquire this ability, we have to have super structure in our bodies so that molecules and cells in our bodies can be properly controlled through our will and work of the minds.

In this context, Christ Jesus must have been born, even as a man, with special physical structure only God can give.  It should reflect the power of God against diseases.

To find the structure of the body that can work against diseases must be the ultimate aim of medical science.

"I have compassion on the multitude" - God is the Source of Existence

Around Tokyo

God is the Source of Existence

If you don't think that it is strange that you exist in this world, you cannot be fully thankful to God.

Any man is made of dusts of a star or the past sun that had existed before the present sun.  After this old sun was exploded, scattering various atoms, molecules, chemical compounds, gasses, debris, etc.,  the present sun started to be formed with remaining hydrogen gas, and the earth and other planets also started to be formed with remaining  atoms, molecules, chemical compounds, gasses, debris, etc.  And, when billions of years passed, human beings emerged on the earth.  It means that hearts and minds of the current mankind were made of materials left by the old sun.  And then, any man is originally nothing but part of the old sun.  Yet, you must feel that it is strange that part of the old sun constitutes you.  How could a tiny material part of the old sun become a human being that is you?  Or how did such a tiny material part of the old sun come to have the conscious that it is you?

Such a tiny material part may form cells, brain cells and a brain, but material cannot have the conscious if it constitutes a human brain.  Our conscious that we are ourselves must come from somewhere beyond this material universe.  Our brain cells must work as a kind of antennas, but where do the electromagnetic waves received by each antenna come from?  It must come from the spiritual world.  And the signal received by brain cells of each of us must give us the conscious that each of us is itself.  In this way, each of us comes to exist not simply as material but as spiritual existence or as a living thing with the conscious.

So, our existence depends on the spiritual world.  And the spiritual world is directly governed by God, since Christ Jesus said that God is Spirit.   

Our brain cells must be an interface between the material world and the spiritual world.

However, Christ Jesus said that if we had faith, the kingdom of God should come to us.  To have faith must mean to enrich this interface, and the kingdom of God means the increased strength with which this interface of ours is connected to the spiritual world.

So, all I can say is that what is worth being called to exist in each of us is the spirit since God is Spirit.

And, what exists owes its existence to God.   Because God is the source of existence of anything even in the spiritual world.

"Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation?" - The Subject is God

The Pacific Coast around Tokyo

The Subject is God

God might have been the first thing the mankind thought about when the species was established millions of years ago and the last thing the mankind will think about when the species is exterminated, say, thousands years later.

Early Christianity thought that none could see God while followers and Disciples of Christ Jesus actually saw Him.

Early Christians believed that the words of the Gospel of John 1:18: "No man has seen God at any time"...(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God#Christianity) 

However, Muslims look more modern or primitive in their attitudes to God.

Muslims believe that God (Allah) is beyond all comprehension and equal, and does not resemble any of his creations in any way. Thus, Muslims are not iconodules, are not expected to visualize God, and instead of having pictures of Allah in their mosques, typically have religious calligraphy written on the wall. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God#Christianity).

We must not misunderstand and think that we, human beings, are the masters and central players in this world and in our lives while God is a supporting player.

We have to correctly and piously believe that God is the master and central player while we, human beings, are subordinates to God even in life of each of us.

So, we have to admit, standig in awe, that what is important is happiness of God but not of ours in this world.

So, it is useless for us to seek our happiness in this world, since it does not conform to ultimate truth God set.

Indeed, Christ Jesus did not say to seek your own happiness with all of your might and wisdom but instructed us to love God with all of your might and wisdom.

The subject is God but not men.

"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.

" 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.

"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.

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

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?

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

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

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.

Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

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

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?

Mar 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Mar 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mar 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Mar 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
