Persecution Invisible In Japan: Typical Japanophilosophical criticism toward Christianity

Hi! It's Shellil Linn.( ^ω^ )

Japanology isn't easy "religion" to understand, since it doesn't have a religious roots based on the faithful activity. Japanological religion is based on blaming any "made up enemy" in the closed Japanese society.

I'd like to pick up an example from a blog and a counter blog content which both are concerned as "Christian blog" in Japan.

The person called "Shalom" introduced the common thought for Genesis22:1-19. The story on God asked Abraham to give his loveliest son, Issac to test Abraham's faith is enough to be a fundamental father in the early old testament.

Following is the basic content of the Shalom's concern.

Abraham must had deeply suffered when heavenly Father asked him to give his only son, Isaac, who was the gifted by three angels who visited his home. 

Abraham didn't discuss this matter with his wife, old Sarah. I(Shalom) concern that Abraham had felt guilty and regret that Abraham had already have a son with an Egyptian maiden Hagal. Abraham had really loved and cared Sarah as God cares Abraham.

Abraham was fully obedient to our Lord, even it was truly painful cross to him. 

Abraham had to sacrifice himself as our Christ sacrificed himself on the cross. The three days of crucified days to take his loveliest son, Isaac. 

When Abraham's heart was totally broken, the mercy and the grace of our Lord is shown. 

May peace of our Lord with us!

And the following content is the counter blog for "Shalom" on "Blog of Satoshi Toda, the land of lier and the religion".

He wrote a blog claims only the pain of Abraham, and praise his obedience toward the God's order, and concern "it's a faith". I really doubt on the characteristic of Mr. Shalom, for he never be suspicious on his faith without feeling any doubt.

…A person who can kill his son by God's order, will not hesitate to kill others by any kind of order. The type of belief as above seems do as the God's order, and that's the only way of salvation, then only psychopath are saved in the Christianity. 

For Mr. Shalom, God's order is absolute, and never claim and do as God's order, …for him, faith include to kill a man by God's order absolutely "YES".

Long time ago, a man who murdered the Jewish prime minister said "I killed him by God's order".
　
In our time, this type of "absolute faith" is concerned as "God's order" is going on a wild rampage. (The monotheisms) are not just similar, but substantially same, I think. Mr. Shalom is shouting on his blog based on maybe deeply involved with Biblical teaching, although the murder against the humanity and devoted obedience to the God!
　


I  beg you. Please never ever believe this kind of belief!

Let's examine the ideology of Mr. Toda. He concerns "being obedient for our Lord" is misunderstood as "involving injustice or illegality" by his sense.

It means for Mr. Toda, all kind of monotheism "God" especially Christianity is basically injustice and something illegal although the constitution article 20th of Japan guarantee the religious freedom. 

We, Japanese Christians hear a similar tone opinion to Mr. Toda in elsewhere. Christians try to say about the love, mercy and forgiveness of God, but these "counter discriminators" would never hear our voice.

Christians are less than 1% of the entire Japanese population, and there are so many to blame Christians are "violent and maybe something so bad". 

Mr. Toda may had read the after story that our Lord grant Abraham to be a fundamental father in the Genesis. 

After Abraham took son Isaac to the Lord's Mountain, there was Lord's word, and blessed Abraham's faith for God's love, peace, mercy and grace as everybody knows. And told Abraham to be a fundamental father to be the prophet of God.

Maybe Mr. Toda hadn't understand a word of the conclusion. But this part of the Bible verse was convenient to criticize the Christianity.

As many Christian and Catholic bloggers, many are passionated in evangelisticall mission of the word of our Lord.

But, I don't think those who shows there intense hatred toward Christianity doing by their individual will.

This kind of "Christian hate blog" had increased since last year Abe cabinet had passed the new security laws which is clearly anti-constitutional.

Please pray for traditional Christians and Catholic in Japan.
