What can be derived from the two theorems of religion?

 I've gone through Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Ramakrishna (Hinduism?), reading each of their sacred texts. But for some reason, God (Buddha) sealed them away, and I haven't been able to open them for the past 15 or 20 years. They're still on the bookshelf on the left, though.


Naturally, I gradually forgot the words of the scriptures, and only two things remained.


1. God(Buddha) loves us.


2. God (Buddha) is the only one who is omniscient and omnipotent .


And from these two theorems, we can deduce:


"All people will be saved."


Perhaps we should call people sentient beings. In other words, all life.


It's a natural conclusion. It's as self-evident as saying that 1 + 1 = 2. If we are loved by God (Buddha) and that God (Buddha) is omnipotent and omniscient, then of course we will be saved.


That's what I'm here to say, but I'm not the first person to say it. Shinran said it, Nichiren reluctantly acknowledged it, Origen also said it in Christianity (although he was apparently treated as a heretic), Augustine didn't deny it (though he didn't necessarily acknowledge it), and I think Muhammad warned me, "You shouldn't say that too much (because it would make people feel too safe)."


Basically, this is what Bodhisattva Never Disparaging spread around so much in the Lotus Sutra.


"I will not look down on you. You will all become Buddhas."


He was given the name "Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" because he does not look down on anyone, but isn't this the same as constantly saying,


"All people will be saved"?


This Bodhisattva is quite interesting, and I love him, but this is getting long, so I'll save it for next time.

Do not charge interest

 "You shall not earn interest." This is a famous teaching in the Quran, and it is a powerful blow that nullifies the self-replicating function of money. As I wrote before, "Money is already LIFE because it has the ability to self-replicate." and the basis of that self-replicating function of money is "interest." Humans created "money" to replace barter, making trade and the accumulation of wealth easier. Furthermore, by granting "interest" to money, they gave money itself the ability to self-replicate. They breathed the "life" into money. Money then began to have the will to "increase on its own," and as a means to dominate, it used humans. Once you give money interest, it grows exponentially, just like living things grow exponentially. (Just by looking at the way it grows, you can see that money has "life".) For example, when a cell divides, it doubles. When it divides again, it doubles again. It's 2 t...

The scriptures are love letters to humanity

Image
 When I read the Buddhist scriptures, I feel like the Buddha is trying to woo me. It's so persistent that I'm like, "Okay, I get it. You're so persistent. All I have to do is believe, right? I have no choice, so I'll believe in you." It's like the solicitation of some noisy new religion. Usually, you have to work hard, practice hard, and finally the Buddha will respond, turn to you, God will turn to you, but for some reason, in my case, the relationship is reversed. The Buddha is the one who is desperate, and it comes to me. The Buddha is desperately trying to somehow turn all living beings to him. The Buddhist scriptures are love letters sent from the Buddha to all living beings. The holy scriptures are love letters sent from God to humanity. Buddhist scriptures, holy scriptures, are confessions of love, messages of love, love letters to humanity, desperately trying to convey how much the Buddha ,or God, loves us. This is true of Buddhist scriptures, the ...

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging

 "All will be saved." I've even gone so far as to think that this is the same as what Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, who appears in the Lotus Sutra, already proclaimed: "I do not despise you. You will all become Buddhas." Isn't it the same thing when I say "All will be saved" and when Bodhisattva Never Disparaging says "All will become Buddhas"? So what I'm doing is just copying Bodhisattva Never Disparaging. It's an honor. This bodhisattva was always spreading the word, "I do not despise you. You will all become Buddhas," so everyone found him annoying, and he ended up being persecuted by people throwing stones at him and hitting him with sticks. So what did this bodhisattva do? "He ran away to avoid them and shouted from afar, 'I do not despise you. You will all become Buddhas.'" Not cool. Instead of facing them with dignity, he cowardly runs away, turning his back on the enemy and howling from afar l...
