Editor: I’m so sorry everyone for the author’s nonsense. But we’d have to rewrite the plot if we corrected all his errors. Please bear with it for this arc.
TLN: This is fiction everyone, don’t take it too seriously.
Judaism and Christianity were different. Although both denominations seemed to believe in the one God ‘Yahweh’, the two of them had different interpretations of the Messiah.
The teachings of Christianity, like Buddhism, expanded rapidly to meet the needs of the ruling class. It could be said to have metamorphosed from Judaism.
In Jewish doctrine, Jesus was not a God, but just a prophet like Moses and others. In Christianity, however, Jesus was elevated to an infinitely higher status through the doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus was made equal to God. To a certain extent, it could be said that Judaism believed in a singular God while Christianity worshiped a tripartite one.
As for God’s chosen people, they were the people of Israel.
Now that Christ had come into the world and claimed to be the son of God, and that believing in him was the same as believing in God, this became the undeniable truth that Christianity was correct and Judaism was an incomplete religion. The old and new testaments were thus canonical.
If Judaism was proven to be untrue, then Jewish societies would suffer a heavy blow and have their foundations shaken. This was similar to how Eastern countries had mostly let go of Confucianism.
This was naturally unacceptable to the Jews.
The Jews were a relatively prosperous minority when compared with other demographics. On average they were more economically prosperous than even the Christian white majorities of North America and Europe, and this tended to attract discrimination and maltreatment over history.
Fortunately, they had managed to survive the atrocities of early 20th century Europe and maintained a generally high standard of living worldwide.
Nowadays, the United States’ political scene was a battleground between the GOP and the Democrats, but behind the scenes, it was only a struggle of interest between the capitalist plutocrats, among whom some Jews occupied a pivotal position.
Under the veneer of overt democracy was a robust but hidden framework of norms, ethics, and processes that were guided to meet the interests of the ruling class. Even if the president wished to radically reform the country, he was ultimately shackled by the wealthy elites from doing so in any way inimical to their interests.
In the past, he might have had no way to deal with them, but now, he might have a chance. Even if Jews were powerful, could they ever claim to be more powerful than Christ? Could they claim that they were more powerful than the two billion followers of Christ? Once the present Christ was acknowledged by the world, a single sentence from him could change any part of the Bib;e. This was the so-called identity of God’s chosen people that could be overruled by a single word from Christ.
A single word from God could have a huge impact on the world, and this was the greatness of God.
“Those Jewish plutocrats would never sit idly. Their national pride is very strong, especially after what happened in World War II. It could be said that all Jews were soldiers that were very sensitive to hostility afterward. If Christ is proven to be real, the Jews would be devastated.”
The President dismissed the crowd and only had a few staff members stay to discuss the next policy.
He was a capable president. Even if he was not politically correct, he had the nation’s business interests as his main concern, so he can’t be without ambition.
“So, do you think this Christ is real or not?”
The President looked worried. If he was real, the President did not want to be his enemy if he could.
He was never prepared to be Christ’s enemy from the beginning. But as a person in power and as a human being, he had no choice but to try and borrow the power of God to make the nation great again.
“Just from the miracles and deeds Christ has shown, he should be the real deal. Sir, we should forcefully recognize this Christ in the name of the nation.”
“If he is recognized as Christ, wouldn’t that make the Vatican stronger? What I’m most worried about is the European side.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. We are not in the Middle Ages anymore. The people have been opened to wisdom and knowledge and science is deeply rooted in many people’s hearts. The church would not be able to have the same authority as in the Middle Ages unless Christ is willing to lend the church the power of God. If God wanted to rule over humans, then there is no point in this discussion. Besides, I don’t think Christ would do that. He should be someone who persuades people to do good and not evil. If he did promote evil, then he is without a doubt a ‘fake’.”
“Perhaps for Christ, everything he does is right, but for us mortals, Christ should be limited to his title of ‘Christ’, the anointed one. He should not be able to do anything beyond the scope of ‘Christ’.”
Many of the staff exchanged opinions. As the leaders of the nation, although they did not have the thinking and ability of the gods, they could still guess why Christ acted the way he did.
Although the words were roundabout, the President also understood their meaning. It roughly meant that ‘Christ’ must do good and must not be interested in the mortal world because that was how it was recorded in the New Testament. If he went against it, then he was the devil.

After some discussion, the President came to a decision. He and his staff looked at each other in slight embarrassment. Then they all bowed their heads and began to confess and repent, hoping that Christ would forgive them.
In truth, even the President of the United States of America was afraid. After all, he was just another mortal afraid of going to hell after his death. Since he was still alive, he could only do things that suited him.
At that moment, he even thought of resigning from the presidency. His position may have been a symbol of power in the past, but now, it was simply a hot potato!
“Oh, god. I just remembered. I have to get my baby girl to change her belief back!”
The President suddenly exclaimed.
The bureaucrats looked at each other. Only then did it occur to them that the president’s famous daughter was married to a Jew and even converted from Christianity to Judaism to do so. In the past, it did not mean much, but now that Christ had come to Earth, this was a political nightmare!
‘I guess the first daughter’s marriage is going to be a problem.’
One of the bureaucrats thought maliciously. Faith was not a trivial matter the moment God is proven to exist.
……
At the Kenyan airport, a plane landed and several elderly men, dressed in elaborate and sacred religious garments, hurried across the bridge.
They were none other than the 266th Pope, Pope Francis I, with members of his College of Cardinals.
If these people traveled together in the past, it would be on the headlines of every newspaper, but today, they were just pilgrims.
“Where is the Lord?”
Walking down the aisle of the plane, the pope and the cardinals performed the sign of the cross and asked the clergy who came to meet them.
“The Lord is leading his disciples away from Kenya to Somalia.”
“Quickly. Quickly prepare the transportation. I am going to see the Lord.”
The Pope hastily ordered.
After arriving at the airport hall, the appearance of the Pope and the Cardinals caused a sensation. Many even cried and kneeled in prayer. When Francis I took a closer look, he found that most people in the airport were believers of Christ, old and young, men and women, able-bodied and disabled. The Pope guessed that they were also devout believers. Knowing the news of Christ’s descent, they all came at the first opportunity.
“My brothers and sisters, in the presence of the Lord, I am one of his humble sheep, as are you. We have come here to hear the will of the Lord, so we ask you to come with me to meet Christ, our Savior. May the Lord bless you!”
“May the Lord be with you!”
“……”
There were many prayers from the airport. There were even believers singing hymns. Anyone who walked in would not think that this was an airport, but St. Peter’s Basilica.

Seeing so many devotees here, the Pope was too embarrassed to leave alone. He immediately instructed the clergy of the diocese to prepare enough transportation. If it was not enough, they could borrow from the embassies of other countries. In this situation, those embassies would not refuse.

After Francis I had given his orders, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After looking at his papal robes, he hurriedly said, “Prepare us some clothes. We need to change them.”
As he recalled Christ preaching in simple robes, he looked at his own religious costume. If they were to go over to have an audience in such tawdry religious costumes, Christ would probably not mind, but the faithful would certainly be displeased with them.
