Q591: I see, that's a very likely story. It can be said that it is the good fortune that Jesus was born with, and on the contrary, it can be said that it is a sad fate to be crucified. Doesn't it mean both?

A592 Yes, it's the fate imposed on Jesus. Therefore, it seems to be true that Jesus, who was crucified, cried out to the heavens, "Eli eri, lama, sabachthani (O God, God, why have you sinned)?"

Q592 In this case, the X-axis of the Roman domination, in which innocent youth was sacrificed for political domination, and the Y-axis, of Jesus' attempt to appeal to the spiritual awakening of the people at that time, are cut in the real world of the people who only want bread in front of them. How about this?

A593  That's exactly right. The X-axis is the visible dimension of earthly bread, and the Y-axis is the invisible dimension of heavenly agape (God's love). It was the great Paul who intersected the vertical and horizontal lines that would never intersect.

Q593  Is there an original gin in the knot of such a cross? If this is the case, then this idea of original sin that binds the world together is universal. There is a light of truth that transcends time and place, isn't there? It looks like a ray of light that gave birth to modern science, but is it not?   

A594 No, it's not. It is a stunning ray of light that illuminates the world. But this is based on a sin that we all have, so it's a negative light. What a reason to justify this negative light! Turns into a plus. Let's take an example.

 The U.S. coalition has yet to admit guilt for the atomic bombings dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have not changed our view that it was the atomic bombing that ended World War II, and that it was the madness of the Japan military that drove us to that point. Is this view correct? What do you think?

Q594  I can't say anything. Both have a point. How should we think about it?

A595  In the spring of 2024, an American film called Oppenheimer was screened in Japan. It depicts the anguish of Oppenheimer, a Jewish physicist who is said to be the father of the atomic bomb, and while acknowledging the view of the U.S. government that the atomic bombing could have ended the Pacific War, the worries were only about the people involved in the production of the atomic bomb, which caused the tragedy (Mr./Ms.). The gap between the two is truly a negative light. Don't you think that the dichotomy that is manifested in Christian civilization is directly manifested?

Q595 The explanation is vague, but I understand a little. The dichotomy is the suspicion that the convenience of machines can be both poison and medicine. It's the same with drones and robot proxy wars, isn't it? This must be a runaway by the demonic nature of man, who has departed from God's will. How about?

A596 I can say that. In this sense, the focus of the contradiction lies in the illusion of Jesus' crucifixion. The view of original sin is universal and looks deep into the human heart.                                (Continued at 178-2)
