** Some inspiration
There may be some counterintuitive
**Distinct Belief in Jesus' Role**:
- The individual maintains a unique stance within Protestant or Christian faiths, asserting that it was Jesus' death that brought about the power of redemption through faith for people on Earth. They believe that Jesus will return during the Final Judgment, but they emphasize that Jesus is not God Himself; rather, He is distinct from God. They argue that the sin of the Jews lies in seeking righteousness through actions and in abandoning and distorting God's word.

2. **Philosophical Knowledge Interpretation**:
- Their understanding aligns with that of early Christian apologists, upholding rational apologetics. They view the Logos as Christ, who illuminated the minds of wise individuals around the world even before His incarnation. They consider Greek, Chinese, and Indian philosophies to be gifts from God. They support the assertions of Justin Martyr and Clement of Alexandria in this regard.

3. **Historical Suffering and Pain**:
- In terms of life's suffering, they lean towards Augustine's theodicy, which explains pain and suffering as part of God's divine plan.
- For disasters within the historical process, they favor Hegel's dialectical movement of history. For example, when Christians in Rome sinned, God allowed barbarians to conquer Rome; when Eastern Orthodox Christians in Byzantium deviated from divine righteousness, they were overtaken by the Ottoman Turks. Similarly, they suggest that humanity's overreliance on the progress of natural science, believing it to be the ultimate authority, led to the two World Wars. They believe that God is clear in His rewards and punishments, using these to guide and discipline humanity. After each disaster, humanity has the opportunity to learn new wisdom, propelling societal progress and moving closer to the "Kingdom of God on Earth," and gradually closer to God's wisdom. However, Satan tempts those with weak wills after each disaster, leading to a polarization where the good become better, and the evil worsen. This is exemplified by the possession of nuclear weapons by both the free world and the Soviet Union. Thus, they view history as an unfolding struggle between good and evil, culminating in the dialectical endpoint: the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven after the Final Judgment.
