Existence is given, and it is always possible to be taken away.

Seizo Sekine

 

 

Even if we deny the idea of the world created by God, the fact that it is given to people remains. The Bible researcher writes in his book “Kanzo Uchimura ” that the fact that a given thing may be taken away someday is more important. Moreover, he says that even if modern science and technology dismiss the concept of creation, we must not let go of this “root fact" that something we have has also have the possibility of being lost.
