Dog arable land
we are so envious of heaven, but it is reluctant to bid farewell to this world. ——Lermontov,
after many years of reading, especially the last few years, has finally linked up the knowledge and memory of those fragments of Christianity, and has a clearer image. Unfortunately, it is still a godless conclusion. Stubborn reason, or the ignorance and stubbornness in the eyes of the educators, is so persistent and indestructible. Today, I watched a much criticized biblical film-"The Last Temptation of Christ", and I have some insights about God and spirit. Talk to keep a record.
"The Last Temptation of Christ" and the recently filmed "Passion of the Christ" have great similarities and overlaps in content, but their views are completely opposite. Both films record the arduous journey of the Son of God, Jesus, preaching in Jerusalem. The difference is that "The Passion of the Christ" is completely a retelling of the New Testament, more like a film preaching through images. And "The Last Temptation of Christ" is completely apostate. In addition to the way of salvation and ascension of Jesus via the cross as recorded in the Bible, it is a natural wedging into the faltering course of Jesus on the cross. Satan fulfilled his temptation again. Under Satan's temptation, Jesus gave up his role as a savior and abandoned his identity as an envoy and a prophet. Accompanied by the devil Satan, Jesus almost finished his worldly life. Although at the end of the film, Christ Jesus returned to the cross, opened the door of heaven through death, and returned to the embrace of God. Marriage, sex, and childbirth, after the secularization of Jesus, before he died, he was driven back to the cross by God—his father, and he realized his merits and consummation. But obviously this is not the director's intention.
Such a film actually fits a materialist's understanding of religion. It looks like a Western-like legend of the Seven Fairies, but the ending is different. There is no love in heaven, and the world is beautiful enough. The arrogant Jade Emperor forced Qixiangu to find happiness in the world. In the end, the silver man appeared and the immortals were separated. God’s place is beautiful, and the way of salvation is so painful, and the Son will also be shaken. Jesus on the cross did not say: “Father, forgive them, because they don’t know what they have done.” Instead, he uttered a bitter voice. A mortal question: "Father, why did you give me such suffering? Is there no other way to reach your hall?" The way to God was blocked. Although the film finally allowed Jesus to return to his original position, through the death and resurrection to control the key to the door of God, but it seems very far-fetched.
Through the salvation process of the cross, Jesus has a certain degree of similarity with the Buddhists who transcend sentient beings! It would be easier for Chinese people to understand this process of salvation in the light of Buddha's theory! In the film, Jesus is actually a process of "firmly believing-shaking-firmly believing" to God. A period of "man-god-man-god" tempering. Experience the world, then penetrate everything, and finally go to refuge. A "real-empty-real" process. Religion always seems to be a process like this: secular-demons-suffering-atonement-heaven-consummation! It just changed a few god names and terms in it.
After watching the film, what I can particularly understand is why Hong Xiuquan imagined that he was the second son of God—the brother of Jesus. When Jesus objected to the practice of having to exchange currency and pay taxes before entering the temple to worship God, the Jewish priest replied: "That is the law! Has God changed the mind of the old law?" Jesus replied: "I have abandoned the law. I am. It is the beginning of the new law. I have new laws and new hope. I am the end of the old law and the beginning of the new law."; "Do you think God belongs to you only? God is a kind of moral soul. God belongs to all mankind and belongs to all In the world, God does not only belong to the Jews.” The Jewish teachings and sutras became the teachings and sutras of all mankind through Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus finally played the role of God's spokesperson through a mortal body. This has brought temptation to how many secular Chinese people! Although God repeatedly tested whether Jesus was greedy for secular kingship, Jesus refused to give him any country on this earth. The problem is that after the wave of robbery, the kingdom of heaven can only be entered through me. This is a greater divine power, and it is a greater business for the Chinese. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan in China believes that they must be God's spokesperson.
The biggest question in watching this film is that what the Devil Satan used to seduce Adam and Eve, that is, what used to seduce Jesus in the film is the good life in the world. But shouldn't the world be beautiful? Satan said to Jesus who came down from the cross: "Now you can see the true beauty of the world. This is the harmony between the earth and the human heart." Isn't this the ultimate beauty in the hearts of Chinese people?
The biggest problem with the film is that the former traitor, Judas, finally played the righteous man. He betrayed Jesus by the order of Jesus and helped Jesus walk to the cross. In the end, Jesus broke his promise and turned to God because of his weakness. Questions were raised, Satan tempted him to give up salvation and return to the world. Judas finally angrily condemned Jesus for betraying his promise, and fiercely asked Jesus: "Their only hope is the resurrected Jesus. And you have abandoned them!"
Our only hope is the resurrected Jesus? To be honest, I am still quite pessimistic. It is really hard for me to believe in the existence of the god and the Lord. Let's see if the God in the eyes of the Chinese below is more like that heinous devil Satan?
God’s Village
[Xichuan]
I need a God to sleep in the middle of the night
Next to me, dreaming of the stars and the sea
dreaming of Mary of Bethlehem undressing
under the dim oil lamp
I need a God,
more autonomous than the legislator Moses , greedy for the oil in the lamp bowl,
hear my prayers,
love our family People: Twelve good brothers. The
impenetrable balsam
blooms
all over the village. The dog barks ushering in a dumb stranger. All the balsams knelt at his feet.
He picked one and put it in his arms
and I needed one. God never travels far away
with his stubbornness to show that it should be sealed off.
His light shines through a hole in the wall and hits my floor
like a gold coin. I can’t pick it up.
On a thunder and lightning night, I need
this smoking old man, Father
walked in front of me to
dress the corn and send a guard to Liming.
He never tried to conquer,
and burned Rome and Byzantium with the bloodthirsty sun ; in fact,
he overthrew the world without any
effort. He built the coffin for us. rest in peace
