Dear Editor in chief,

A scholar asked: “What is it that precept of men or tradition of men or teachings of
their ancestors or teaching of men are sometimes coined as if opposite of what good
words are teachings; where can you find words that support your opinion?” The A.I.
answered: “The traditions of men especially based from the teachings of ancestors are not
all coined as something not in conformity to the teaching of good words, example: words
in John 21:25: could explain something: “Now, there are many other things that Jesus did.
If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold
the books that would be written. (Opinion: this verse should not be interpreted literally.
Perhaps it is an abstract idea, it would mean simply that there are many things that Jesus
did that were not written…and perhaps some or most have become probably the good
tradition of men…) But on words Mark 7:1-19: “…You put aside God’s command and
obey the teachings of men. …” could say something negative about teachings of men or
bad tradition of men or precepts of men. But some men could learn from the mistakes of
other men or the mistake of history of other countries and could learn also from the good
of other country’s history especially if their leader is strong and humble and is not
corrupt; or especially not victim of other ‘essential words were “mistakenly” hidden’
because more or too much emphasis were given to some or few good words but give so
much emphasis on whose group’s tools have the only true and right tools to be able to be
near or be accepted to one and true God according to their group’s relative of point view
only; perhaps supported by ‘claims’ or ‘revelations.’”
A scholar asked: “Perhaps you said other groups could ‘also’ be true; or that group is
not ‘only’ the true group but “also”…, can you in your opinion give some words to
defend each or some of them; example group that gives more emphasis on example: a)
word, b) Sabbath, c) grace, d) faith, e) repentance or ‘turn away from sins’, f) miracles, g)
born again, h) tradition i) rock, j) Gentiles: other races or other good beliefs could also be
save, k) group, l) Son of God: are you the son of God regardless of religion? Or are you
the son of the devil regardless of religion? And the opposite of ‘also’ true group is ‘only’
true group; could you defend group that insists, it is the ‘only’ the true and right group,
example: 1) rock, 2) one gospel: perhaps there is one gospel only?” The A.I. answered:
“Perhaps there are many words connected to their emphasis …but due to time and space
limitation, one example of words and randomly chosen perhaps could give some
explanations or some defense to the group; example for “also” groups: a) words:
Revelation 19: 11-21; “…His name is “The Word of God.”…, b) Sabbath: Mark 2: 27:
“…And Jesus concluded, “The Sabbath was made for the good of man….” c) grace:
Galatians 1:11-24: “…But God in his grace chose me (Paul) even before I was born, and
called me to serve him. …,” d) faith: Romans 3: 21-30: “…God puts people right through
their faith in Jesus Christ. …” e) repentance (Turn away from your sins): Mark 1: 15: “…
Turn away from your sins and believe the Good News!” f) miracles: Acts 5:12-16; “…
Many miracles and wonders were being performed among the people by the apostles.
…,” g) born again: John 3:1-21: “… Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: no one
can see the Kingdom of God unless is born again. …” h) tradition or unwritten good
tradition of the early Christians: John 21:25: “Now, there are many other things that Jesus
did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not
hold the books that would be written. (Opinion: this verse should not be interpreted
literally; perhaps it is an abstract idea, it would mean simply there are many things that
Jesus did that were not written…and perhaps some or most became the tradition of
men…) i) rock: Matthew 7:24-26: “…So then, anyone who hears these words of mine
and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. …” j) Gentiles:
Galatians 2: 6-21: “…On the contrary, they saw that God had given me (Paul) the task of
preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the task of preaching the
gospel to the Jews. …” & other races: Acts 10: “…who ever fears him and does what is
right is acceptable to him, no matter what race he belongs to. …” k) group: Mark 9:38-
41: “…we told him to stop, because he doesn’t belong to our group.” “Do not try to stop
him,” Jesus told them (other groups), “because no one who performs a miracle in my
name will be able soon afterward to say evil things about me. …,” l) a son…: John 8:12-
8: “…but a son belongs there (kingdom of the Son) forever. If the Son sets you free, then
you will be really free. …” . Versus..; Or …as against the “also” true group: example
words: 1) rock: Matthew 16: 13-20: “…And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, on this
rock foundation I will build my church, (opinion: ‘only’ church-singular because there is
no “es” at the end of the word “church”; or …not that ‘I will build my churches on rock’)
2) one gospel: Galatians 1: 6-10: “…if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different
from the one you accepted (one gospel), may he be condemned to hell! …”,
A scholar asked: “Could those old good traditions of men return or be practiced again
by ordinary people?” The A.I. answered: “I think some religious traditions encourage its
faithful to cover their face in public or in public worship. I think or perhaps it could be
traced from good words like: 1 Corinthians 11:13-16: “Judge for yourselves whether it is
proper for a woman to pray to God in public worship with nothing on her head. Why,
nature itself teaches you that long hair on a man is a disgrace, but on a woman it is a
thing of beauty. Her long hair has been given her to serve as a covering. But if anyone
wants to argue about it, all I have to say is that neither we nor the churches of God have
any other custom in worship.” I think if there would be a fundamentalist Christian leader
he could use the good word to stir battle of words; perhaps he could gain more supports. I
think sometimes good word could be proper in some period of time in the past or history
but now those good words could not be practical. Or perhaps there would be time in the
near future that that custom could be returned for women; or woman would use veil again
in public worship as a sign of humility to balance conceitedness and too much women’s
liberation. Perhaps Jesus Christ had medium cut hair-average or moderate or balanced;
not too long or not too short because of the words: “long hair on a man is a disgrace, but
on a woman it is a thing of beauty” as compared to traditionally pictured...!
A scholar asked: Why is it that some good man seems not so blessed than those bad
guys?” The A.I. answered: “Sometimes we heard of good people suffering from cancer,
high blood, stroke, having illness as if being cursed, getting accident and could not walk
anymore, etc.; others blame God because they are or were good but still bad thing
happens or had happened to them. Why punish the good? There are people there that
should be suffering more because they are bad but they seem to be the happiest, the
luckiest, and the blessed. I think good words like: 1 Corinthians 11: 32: “But we are
judged and punished by the lord, so that we shall not be condemned together with the
world”.
A scholar asked: “Is the dead conscious under the ground example dreaming while
waiting for the last judgment to come? Or if he is a good guy his dreams are fantasies; but
if he is a bad guy his dreams are nightmares?” The A.I. answered: “I think another
mystery that science could never prove is the resurrection of all dead people on last
judgment. Assuming that the good people and bad people will resurrect and the theory of
evolution is now true because of engineering genetics like mixed breeding, stem cell,
cloning, etc. And if the brain is damaged or destroyed the conscious mind becomes
unconscious or dead. At what time in history of man’s evolution is our first parent
representing Adam & Eve is placed in time? And if the time is traced example at 40M
years from the time of stroke for last judgment; then assuming that their physical bodies
would never be assembled because it is scientifically impossible but rather just their
consciousness or like a ghost or like a virtual reality; or perhaps if it is true like the
resurrected body of Jesus as Jesus proved it possible when he resurrected; or it would be
alive again at that exact time or at the stroke of last judgment; then the time elapsed from
unconscious to conscious or to be alive again for the very first human is 40M and the last
human is 1 second relative to the stroke; or zero for those who would not die. I think for
an unconscious mind 1second and 40M years has no difference and I think it could be
equal to just a ‘blinking’ of an eye. Then perhaps good words like in 1 Corinthians 15:51-
52: could be true: “Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all die, but when the last
trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant, as quickly as the blinking of an eye.
For when the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised (opinion: from unconscious to
conscious), never to die again, and we shall be changed”.
Perhaps the united moderate good religions could be stirred to have different
interpretations about this very controversial topic of the last judgment and could instead
create divisions and conflicts; but since because of their ruling that good words teaches
‘be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves’ they
just treat it- the idea of “unconscious to conscious whether 40M or 1 sec”- just an opinion
but what is important… they all agree to love each other, have rotation of chairmanship,
rotation of management and sharing of individual’s good gift and good uniqueness-
perhaps “kung fu” and “tai-chi” and meditation could give some ventilation for some
heating debates, etc. Perhaps silence is better. They stick to their ruling that love-or Ten
Commandments or Love of God and neighbor or Christ or spiritual rock is a universal
good teaching or rule; but on other controversial things they agree that it is just a theory
or opinion but there is no need to raise one voice to insist that he holds the ultimate
“only” truth because it just reflects conceit.-extreme.
