God

Do you believe in God?


Do you believe in God?
This is a fundamental question.
Can you forgive yourself?
This is an essential question.

It is difficult to forgive someone else’s sins.
It is more difficult to forgive oneself for one’s own sins than to forgive someone else for their sins.
Since we can’t forgive ourselves, we can’t admit to the charges and repent for our sins.
In order to forgive oneself, a being that transcends oneself is necessary.
And that being is God.
Therefore, human beings need God.

Territorial issues are issues of transaction in Western countries, but, in Asia, they are issues of history.
We can’t find a point of compromise in historical issues because there is nothing uncertain about the past.
Because history is a matter of interpretation, it is impossible to discuss a territorial issue based upon history.
It is impossible to solve a territorial issue based upon history. In the end, a historical issue will fail to reach an agreement.
Ultimately, it is force and arms that solve territorial issues.

In some instances, silence has a significant meaning.

The stupidest thing is to set off a devastating war involving the whole world because of a trivial and accidental act.
Now humans are in such a state that we have people arguing with bombs in their hands in very confined spaces. If someone were to detonate a bomb, nobody would survive. There will be no winners in the next world war.

It is simply not right for us to curse those who fought and died for our nation. We know why, for what purpose, and for whom they fought and died.
What we can do is only to examine our thoughts and philosophy in detail.

Well over one hundred thousand people were killed by a single bomb in an instant.
Japanese are not allowed even to call attention to this tragedy.
It is a fact that such tragedies occurred not only in Japan but in China and South Korea.
What matters is to mutually recognize a wrong as a wrong.

Innocent people were killed for no reason at all. God will not allow such atrocious bloodshed any more.
Now is the time for humankind to put an end to such a foolish behavior.
Humans must unite to solve environmental issues, food issues and population issues.

Rich people should be able to be patient. Eventually, humans will lose their fear of God when they become rich.

A person who denies God makes himself God.
A person who makes himself God will be forgiven by nobody.

When we are happy, we take God lightly. When we are unhappy, we curse God.
But, God is God.
Humans need God. God does not need humans.
If humans were to become extinct, it would be because their own sins. It would be of their own wrongdoing, not by an act of God.

It is God’s love that allows humans to live.

Let me ask again.
Do you believe in God?
Can you forgive yourself?
