I have a question to christians, why is it always jesus with u guys, wasnt jesus there to convey god's message, not his own? Maybe people should find god and not jesus?
Jesus is God. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God”.. “ and the word became flesh and dwelt among us”. For those that believe on his name, and confess our sins, have the right not through our own deeds but through Christ dying and being raised from the dead, to be saved from sin and forgiven. Brother, I would encourage you to read John 1
@@masao2922 That’s a great point. Every religion has their own bridge to mankind. For Christianity it’s Jesus, for Buddhism it’s Buddha, for Islam it’s Mohammad. I can not satisfy full intent of your question, but I will say what sticks out to me about Christianity is that it is not a religion. In no other faith does love, in the divine sense, play such a part in forming a relationship with God. The act of proving ourselves worthy of approval or acceptance seems only exclusive to beliefs outside of a Christians’ faith - because according to them, God has always known we’ve been broken. That His love for us is greater than death… which is why He proved that by becoming flesh, being crucified by mankind, and rising from the dead. It was not only proof to the world that Jesus is God, but a payment for the brokenness of the world and a path to a relationship with God, which lasts forever as He exists eternally. Eternal life through Jesus Christ.
When I was living in Japan I was shocked to learn that many Japanese "celebrate" Christmas but that they had no idea that Christmas was a Christian holiday.
And wearing crosses just as “accessories” 😆 I saw that a lot so I asked my woman what’s going on with that. She said it’s just a style. I don’t follow any religion but that seemed odd to me coming from the Deep South of America.
It's not. It has nothing to do with Jesus, he was not born on that day and the Bible says nothing about decorating a tree and putting offerings underneath it. When Jesus was born, the Shepherds were out in the field watching for new Lambs to be born. Lambs are born in the springtime. If it were winter the shepherd's will not be out in the cold neither to sheep. It's just common sense that I don't think we should turn our brain off just for some tradition
@@jaredmackey4511you should have asked her if it was just as stylish to wear a Jewish Yamacha and prayer shawl. The cross is Meaningful because Jesus died on it for our sins and rose again, it is a cosmic event thst forever altered human destiny. Seeing it reduced to a meaningless trinket is sad.
@@TazHall That’s the thing, many people outside of the Christian religion or any religion don’t the significance of some things. I can’t blame them, I’ve witnessed Americans and other non-Japanese do plenty of offensive stuff there, knowingly and not.
I'm a Japanese Christian and I highly doubt that 62% are atheist. Most Japanese people do believe in god or some kind of higher power cuz that is part of our culture. but many Japanese people think religion is kinda scary and sketchy (some cults did really bad things in Japan) so they don't wanna be religious.
You become a Christian when you accept that, as a sinner who is incapable of paying the price for sin, accept Jesus Christ's **free** gift of salvation through his sacrifice at the cross. Religions stray from the word of God in favor of doctrine that either goes against the teachings of the Bible or enforces rules for salvation. Religion divides people into camps, forces you to follow traditions, or denies the free gift in favor of what man teaches (not God).

That wasn’t a coincidence, Truman was a freemason sand they hate and persecute Catholicism, just like what they did in Mexico during the cristero war. Really interesting but look into St Maximilian Kolbe and the monastery he founded in Nagasaki: “The monastery he founded remains prominent in the Roman Catholic Church in Japan. Kolbe decided to build the monastery on a mountain side that, according to Shinto beliefs, was not the side best suited to be in tune with nature. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Kolbe’s monastery was saved because the blast of the bomb hit the other side of the mountain, which took the main force of the blast. Had Kolbe built the monastery on the preferred side of the mountain as he was advised, his work and all of his fellow monks would have been destroyed”
@@alexanderthegreat2678 Amen- thank you for clarifying that. I have always believed that Japan will return to Catholicism. THere were nearly 200,000 Catholic in Japan by the 1590s. If it was not for the horrible persecutions, all of Japan would be Catholic. Jesus has been calling them, and calls them still.

Seems like Japanese people & Taiwan people don't celebrate Christmas, that much, -- when I was a kid I thought I'd write Christmas cards to some uncles & aunties in Taiwan, my father said, they don't do that.
@@ohlalalala1000 No Japanese do not follow christens as a culture. They only have Christian weddings because the bride want to wear a wedding dress and Christmas is just couples day in Japan.
Just like many Westerners... While the majority of the Western population are various Christian groups, there are significant amounts of people other religions and atheists, many of whom also celebrate/practice the secular/commercial aspects of the originally Christian holidays. In fact, most people, including Christians, don't even realize Halloween is a Christian holiday. And even fewer realize that many of those holidays are Christian alternatives to older polytheistic religious holidays, with many of the holiday practices/traditions being direct carry-overs
I didn't think many Japanese were actually atheist. I thought most were just non religious but not necessarily atheist. I seem to recall a study showing many did believe in a higher power or were simply open to the idea making them theists and agnostics. The thing people often misinterpret with statistics is thinking non religion = atheist when normally that is not the case. In my country, there's a lot of non religious people but they aren't atheist.

They are most certainly not atheist. I am Asian from my mother’s side. Religion is thought of very differently. It is not something you are a “member” of. It is a part of daily cultural life and is not thought of as we think of it in the West. Asian people are not overt atheists at all and are quite spiritual, they just are not members of official clergy and, thus, see themselves as non-religious as a result. The way the West sees atheism is very different from what the East sees it as and it does not carry the same ideological connotations.
I am a Christian, to be specific a Catholic. Knowing about history, and how Christianity once was spreading like wild fire in Japan before it’s unfortunate ban, it would’ve been really cool to see what Japan’s religious demographics would’ve been like now. On a side note, I believe that religion is much more than celebrating holidays. Religion is a way of life, it’s is spiritual. I pray for the conversion of Japan and of the whole world to trust and accept Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! ✝️🇻🇦🤍🙏🏼
Not everyone in the world would tolerate those nonsense if anyone would just understand the fundamental beliefs of modern Christianity and analyze it more logically then a vast majority of people would not embrace it
@@justinkurtrivera2315 Fundamentalist Christianity and other Protestant sects, I agree with on the most part, that thy make no sense, the Catholic Church along with the other Apostolic Churches (Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox) consider them to be very heretical. Their teachings don’t line up with what Christianity has been historically. But Christianity nonetheless is a beautiful religion.
@@alexkkx" their teachings don't align with what Christianity has been historically". I dunno. Protestant intolerance is very in alignment with the holy inquisition, the church's support of slavery, the need for opulence (ever been to st. Peter basilica?), sexual abuse of minors and whatnot, the demand for tributes and people to hand over their properties, close ties with political power, so much so it has special legal status and benefits all over the world. The list of crimes committed and amount of blood shed through terror and cruelty by the roman catholic apostolic church is immense. I really don't see much good in its past, nor in its present, in its producing of blind faithful.
Christianity is inclusive: anyone can come to Christ regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status. But it is exclusive: only through Jesus can you truly know God. Just as going in a garage doesn’t make you a car, so having a wedding in a church does not make you a Christian. Jesus wants all of your heart and allegiance. And that is easy to do when you see what He has done and proved His love on the cross.
Not if you don't believe it. If you try to find Jesus and you don't believe, you won't find him. And because you don't believe you won't be able to get any contact with satan either because he only cares about real believers.
@@BlackDeath920 no, the Bible says satan deceived the whole world, he doesn’t only care about believers, the very reason people don’t believe is because of satan but they also choose to obey him because they love sin more than Lord Jesus.

To be honest, Christian-esque wedding ceremony in Japan isn't true Christian wedding by faithful Christian standard because the priest is just MC in priest tunic, and the couple aren't baptized. To be valid Christian marriage, the ceremony should be held by true Priest and at the least one of the couple should be baptized as Christian. so, What Japanese do is just simply Disney Princess wedding rather than true Christian wedding.

I am Indonesian of Chinese descent. I am a Buddhist, but I also love Christmas & back at school often celebrate Christmas with my Christian/Catholic friends. Because Christmas always look fun with all the decor, nice stories & movies. My Catholic friend even allowed me to borrow her bible to read some of the interesting bible stories I've heard about. Majority of Indonesians are Muslim so during Ramadan, my Muslim friends and I would schedule a meet-up to break their fasting together (I'm not fasting). My mom would make ketupat and all the signature dishes that go with it and give it to her Muslims friends, of which her Muslim friends would give us the same thing. It's kinda an old tradition of Jakartans but not many people know or do now, sharing homemade ketupat. I go to vihara and celebrate important days in Buddhism: Vesak, Asalha Puja, Magha Puja, Kathina. Everything based on the Theravada teachings, a Buddhism practice that is said to be the closest version to how people done it when Buddha Gautama was still alive. On the other hand, I also celebrate Lunar New Year because of my Chinese lineage and go to the temples to pray to well-known gods & goddesses in ancient Chinese culture. On January 1st, most people in my country celebrates it with dinners and events just like most people do in western countries. When getting married: people here either do it according to their religion + culture, or you could just straightaway go to the civil registration office. It's okay to celebrate other culture or important days of other religions as long as you understand the background story of it. If you're cherry picking only the fun part, those things would have no meanings. And when you can't find meaning in life, you will start losing yourself. Start learning more about your own religion. But also don't be a fanatic, overdoing it and became too religious, it can make you go crazy too. It is never good to think your religion is the best and that people will not find blessing/salvation in life unless they join your religion. This kind of mindset is why we have extremists.
To be honest with you, I love Japanese people celebrating their Buddhist and Shinto festivities which is part of the ancient cultural heritage of Japan and every country in the world has their own religions to celebrate and for outside people to always respect everybody’s cultural heritage!
Christmas is very festive in Sri Lanka as well. But, Christian population is just 7-8%. Christian culture was expanded to Asia during the European colonial rule. Most of the Asian countries have Christian European cultural influence eventhough they do not follow Christianity specifically. Back then, Sri Lankan buddhists also had their weddings in European style like japanese do. But now, old cultures are visible with few modifications.
It’s cultural religiosity. There’s a similar thing in many parts of America. People don’t really believe in the religions. But they keep the customs. I know many Americans who go to church every Sunday yet don’t even read their Bible. Church isn’t something they go to out of faith. Rather just “because it’s always been done” or something like that.
Christian here. I remember hearing about the Christian persecutions of the Edo period. I wonder if there would be a high percentage of Christians in Japan if that it didn't happen like that.
As a Catholic I cannot mix Christianity with any other non-motheistic reason especially polytheistic like Shinto. So I am not allowed to visit any Shinto Shrine because it's part of a polytheistic religion.
you can visit it, as long as you do not admit or believe in it as a superior to god, or even exist. matter of fact you would be rewarded. god rewards knowledge and the jihad (effort or struggle) of obtaining that knowledge. here in islam at least idk about knowledge in the bible

They should definitely practice their native religions like Shinto and Buddhism. I just think it’s beautiful when countries, or a group of people, practice their native religion.

I think there are far more religious people in Japan than statistics say there are, especially Christians. Cultists have soured peoples views on Religion in general over there, so most fearing of being seen as nails that stick out, choose to class themselves as Atheists or Buddhists, which is much more socially acceptable in an extremely conformist country like Japan.
Personally Japan’s really laid-back mindset towards religion is almost what drives me to want to move there really. I have found that oftentimes religion holds people back from their full potential on earth and causes more problems than good, like wars, dissensions etc, here in america I feel like religion is becoming our ultimate downfall, religion (in my opinion) oftentimes keeps societies from moving forward or prospering greatly. Also I say this personally myself being a believer in Christianity. I find a lot of arrogance among many other people who claim to be Christians here in america. I believe God does not want us to be arrogant. When people become arrogant over God or the things they believe, thats when I define it as religion. While personally i believe the basic fundamentals of Christianity (Jesus is God, he died and rose again etc) i think God reveals himself in his own way to every person whether they believe or dont believe. He never forces himself onto people like religious people would have us to believe. Ultimately in the Bible Jesus was crucified by religious people because he called out how they’d choose religion over humanity and they hated him. Thats what i feel like is happening in America right now. I think people need the real Jesus that loves people instead of the picture religion has painted about God, the less religion the better 👍. So thats one reason i really like Japanese culture 😁
Japanese people should valorize the shintoism traditions and the religion itself, they don't necessarly need to be christian, they absolutely need to prioritize their own culture!.

My japanese grandma grew up christian. She doesn't do halloween, but she's ok with nikko Lucky Cat (shinto idol, I think, that's what she said). She wanted to be cremated, which is a more buddist way of burial. The memorial service was christian in japanese with a translator. We did not cover mirrors or put food out. Grandma believed there are two destinations. Spirit doesn't hang around. Grandma went to the house the father prepared. I know it looked like the chiba-ken of grandma's youth. She missed japan a lot the farther she slipped into dementia.

It certainly combat the growing irreverence of immigrants and aimless gen Alpha. Glory to God in the highest!
Would pick poison and eat poison? The true Almighty Lord Jesus shall return with his kingdom to this earth and the true Christians shall reign with him. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. I keep the new moons, holy days and sabbaths. The popish conceited heathen false Christians keep sunday, turkeyday, Christmas, January 1st, Easter, etc. Not every so called Christian will be in the kingdom. Matthew 7:21-23. I have been through tribulation and have suffered in this world. The righteous Christians are ready for the kingdom of heaven which shall be in this earth for 1,000 years and in the new earth for eternity. Either you want to be with the Almighty Lord Jesus for eternity or you don't. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and because I love him, I keep his commandments. I hate every false way and that includes Romanism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Atheism, etc.
It could be worse. I am fortunate to know several Japanese Christian’s actively attending church, as I attend with them (the service is in Japanese) 🇯🇵 God blessed me to get to live in this fascinating land.
It's hard to believe that at one point Japan have about a millions Christians but then Japan became an isolate state and ban christianity in the 16th century
It should also be noted that the 62% atheist stat is actually 62% self-identified as not a member of a religion, which is important to note because in Japan(according to Wikipedia) membership of a religion usually refers to the clergy/priesthood or monks/nuns of that religion. So, naturally, the percentages of the population self-identifying as members of certain religions will be lower the actual percentages of the population that practice and/or believe them, and the percentage of the population that self-identifies as "no religion" will be higher than the actual percentage of the population that is truly atheist.
Japanese people should learn more about King Jesus Christ,they just need to open their hearts and don't be afraid to love the king of kings and the lord of lords and that is King Jesus Christ,he is the Trinity❤😊
They are the definition of tolerance and openness, they are good people who are faithful to prayer. But from another perspective, Indirectly, openness is the same as trivializing religion, they don't really understand its meaning.
Actually in Japan 99% people are shinto. Many people follow Hindu bhuddhist principles and some Christian philosphy along with their original culture Shintoism. Just like in India many Hindus follow Bhuddhism and Jainism principles also. Gautam Bhuddha is our history. When it comes to Christian wedding, Christmas and other things then it's all due to trend and western effect otherwise both Indians and Japanese still follow their traditional religion.
What speaks to me about Japanese people is that they are open to the truth of who Jesus really is and what He did because of their simple way of wanting to fit in and not be different due to historical events where Japanese people were oppressed about their religious views which dates back to very harsh and horrible repercussions for claiming to be followers of Jesus such as public executions and torture, even to torture little children who believed in Christ, that is now why we see people of Japan so open to religion because in their past it has been a big oppression
Japanese people (I thing) decided to make their old religions their part of culture. That's why lot of people (i guess) joining religius celebrities or stuff
I believe Christmas is a religious holiday at it's core. You should have some kind of spiritual christian belief, otherwise you shouldn't run around making a big deal over a holiday that has no more religious significance to you than valentine's day
If you are Japanese or in an area that is very heavy with nonbelievers, then hear me out. I decided i would pray every single day at least once, for an amazing testimony to share with people. In my heart, i believed i would have kept praying for the rest of my life, if i had too. So after 8 months or so, God gave an AMAZING testimony that is very real... Then, that event strengthened my faith to the point that i started getting amazing prayers answered very often because i quit doubting... and was alinged with the Bibles instructions. Then, i started copying and pasting my testimony all over these TH-cam comment sections and sharing it with people id meet... Im telling you, it adds up and sharing your testimony gets easy to do... Especially if its online. THIS way of reaching the masses is so effective and easy...
i wish Japanese people start following dharmic Shinto Buddhists. oh Buddha and phra narai pls bless Japanese people and give them sense to become dharmic and leave abrahimic 🙏🕉️☸️☸️
Isn't it crazy! While I was a sinner Christ died for me 😭 This is the beautiful thing about Grace that when sin abounds Grace super abounds wooow ❤ Niko na furaha [ am excited]
I pray for more Japanese to come to the feet of Jesus, however if shrines or other customs don't Glorify God then more Japanese disciples of Christ should stand up and preach the word and not be afraid of offending, but still understanding that if certain traditions or symbolism offends God the Gospel shall still remain and narrow is the way , but very few know it and it's Jesus Christ. Iesu Kirisuto. Yeshua . Adonai. Cristo Jesus. Jehova. Etc etc
true man.. I was confused when they got married in a church.. A white wedding.. Like..why? Unique way of thinking? I think they just love the glamourous side of it. Status symbol maybe.. i dun kno!😅
I have started watching 4K walking tours through different cities in Japan. I started picking people out of the crowd and praying for them. And I feel as though there is going to be a great revival in that land.
My view is that Japanese people believe what they want to believe. They are perfectly happy to celebrate religious events, but only on their terms (which tend to be superficial). I suspect most Japanese are polytheistic and believe a mishmash of things, which means a single person can be buddhist _and_ shintoist _and_ very superficially Christian _and_ whatever else is fashionable at the moment. Personally, I think it's a healthy way of accepting multiple religions.
I live and work on Japan. I've been working for many years attempting to spread the gospel to people in Japan. K have hope that Japanese people will come to know Christ. I can see their hunger to live a more meaningful, fulfilled life and I am optimistic for Japan.
Halloween is a pagan holiday. The only Christian holidays are Christmas and Easter. The rest are just overwritten pagan holidays by various churches throughout history. Particularly the Catholic Church. You can argue all you want but it’s true.
I’m a Gothic Christian who lives in California I Respect Atheists Buddhist’s Shinto or Hindu or Islam or other ones you believe and also 🙏🏻 and My God Bless You
I agree with "They get married as a Christian" There’s a cross up there and they don't even know what it's doing up there. "They follow these customs without knowing the actual meanings".

Nobody will show up. Japan is pretty atheist and Christianity is, statistically, a dying religion. People aren’t interested in fairytales and magic in the day of information
@@Thugminista777 Okay well I went to Japan for high school for 2 years in 2015 and 2016 and I usually go every year except for 2020, 2021 and 2022. Japanese people are not interested in religion, and its too late to "convert" Japanese people since religion is on a decline worldwide. Churches are empty in Europe, American churches everywhere but the south have low attendance, and people are not attending church as avidly in latin america. I'm not hating, but its a fact. Don't go to Japan and act like a Karen because people think differently than you.
As a Euroopean Buddhist, I like going to church and singing hymns. But I prefer meditation and retreats. I started thinking in a more "Japanese" way about religions when I became a Buddhist.
Yes I was in japan twenty years ago. I was a missionary and I still have a heart to serve the lord and go back to japan one day I spent twenty years in taiwan and they just moved back to the state seven months ago There was a woman who prayed for me at my Japanese church. She said I couldn't come back until I was married I'm not married yet, but I still have a heart for the Japanese. I still learned japanese on my own When I was 818, the Lord told me. I had to learn japanese korean in chinese fluently I'm a long-term missionary it's what studied I still have a heart for asia. There's not a day but I don't miss going back to japan
I hope more Japanese people will get to know about Jesus Christ more, it's a very fulfilling and loving and truthful relationship
Amen!
just, know god. christianity isnt about worshipping jesus , its about worshipping and loving god
I have a question to christians, why is it always jesus with u guys, wasnt jesus there to convey god's message, not his own? Maybe people should find god and not jesus?
Jesus is God. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God”.. “ and the word became flesh and dwelt among us”. For those that believe on his name, and confess our sins, have the right not through our own deeds but through Christ dying and being raised from the dead, to be saved from sin and forgiven. Brother, I would encourage you to read John 1
@@masao2922 That’s a great point. Every religion has their own bridge to mankind. For Christianity it’s Jesus, for Buddhism it’s Buddha, for Islam it’s Mohammad.
I can not satisfy full intent of your question, but I will say what sticks out to me about Christianity is that it is not a religion.
In no other faith does love, in the divine sense, play such a part in forming a relationship with God. The act of proving ourselves worthy of approval or acceptance seems only exclusive to beliefs outside of a Christians’ faith - because according to them, God has always known we’ve been broken. That His love for us is greater than death… which is why He proved that by becoming flesh, being crucified by mankind, and rising from the dead. It was not only proof to the world that Jesus is God, but a payment for the brokenness of the world and a path to a relationship with God, which lasts forever as He exists eternally. Eternal life through Jesus Christ.
When I was living in Japan I was shocked to learn that many Japanese "celebrate" Christmas but that they had no idea that Christmas was a Christian holiday.
It just seems like they like the idea of holidays more than actually being religious
And wearing crosses just as “accessories” 😆 I saw that a lot so I asked my woman what’s going on with that. She said it’s just a style. I don’t follow any religion but that seemed odd to me coming from the Deep South of America.
It's not. It has nothing to do with Jesus, he was not born on that day and the Bible says nothing about decorating a tree and putting offerings underneath it. When Jesus was born, the Shepherds were out in the field watching for new Lambs to be born. Lambs are born in the springtime. If it were winter the shepherd's will not be out in the cold neither to sheep. It's just common sense that I don't think we should turn our brain off just for some tradition
@@jaredmackey4511you should have asked her if it was just as stylish to wear a Jewish Yamacha and prayer shawl. The cross is Meaningful because Jesus died on it for our sins and rose again, it is a cosmic event thst forever altered human destiny. Seeing it reduced to a meaningless trinket is sad.
@@TazHall That’s the thing, many people outside of the Christian religion or any religion don’t the significance of some things. I can’t blame them, I’ve witnessed Americans and other non-Japanese do plenty of offensive stuff there, knowingly and not.
I'm a Japanese Christian and I highly doubt that 62% are atheist. Most Japanese people do believe in god or some kind of higher power cuz that is part of our culture. but many Japanese people think religion is kinda scary and sketchy (some cults did really bad things in Japan) so they don't wanna be religious.
You become a Christian when you accept that, as a sinner who is incapable of paying the price for sin, accept Jesus Christ's **free** gift of salvation through his sacrifice at the cross. Religions stray from the word of God in favor of doctrine that either goes against the teachings of the Bible or enforces rules for salvation. Religion divides people into camps, forces you to follow traditions, or denies the free gift in favor of what man teaches (not God).
@@GottMoxySome Japanese don't have a good thought against Christianity because Jehovah's Witness church is doing bad stuff...
@@GottMoxy you mean that they should be " spiritual" instead of religious?
For those of you wondering what cult they are referring to. Aum Shinrikiyo
@@GottMoxy _FREE_ gift? Who are *SCAMMING?* *1-Peter 2:18* _“Slaves,_ in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.”
*Ephesians 6:5-7* _"Slaves,_ obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as *slaves* of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”
*Romans 1:1* "Paul, a _bondservant_ of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God."
*Romans 6:16* “Surely you know that you become the *slaves* of whatever you give yourselves to. Anything or anyone you follow will be your _master.”_

Interestingly, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two cities to be hit with atomic bombs during WW2, were the most Christian cities in Japan at the time.
We know!!! Orthodox
That wasn’t a coincidence, Truman was a freemason sand they hate and persecute Catholicism, just like what they did in Mexico during the cristero war. Really interesting but look into St Maximilian Kolbe and the monastery he founded in Nagasaki:
“The monastery he founded remains prominent in the Roman Catholic Church in Japan. Kolbe decided to build the monastery on a mountain side that, according to Shinto beliefs, was not the side best suited to be in tune with nature. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Kolbe’s monastery was saved because the blast of the bomb hit the other side of the mountain, which took the main force of the blast. Had Kolbe built the monastery on the preferred side of the mountain as he was advised, his work and all of his fellow monks would have been destroyed”
And here I was thinking that America was Christian
@@twingames8499 it’s liberal and freemasonic
@@alexanderthegreat2678 Amen- thank you for clarifying that. I have always believed that Japan will return to Catholicism. THere were nearly 200,000 Catholic in Japan by the 1590s.

So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

Japanese people celebrate Christmas, Valentines Day and Halloween because of a trend
Seems like Japanese people & Taiwan people don't celebrate Christmas, that much, -- when I was a kid I thought I'd write Christmas cards to some uncles & aunties in Taiwan, my father said, they don't do that.
Japanese follow christian as a culture not a religion.
Also large number of Japanese christian are following Unification Church which other sect of Christianity consider it as a cult.
@@ohlalalala1000 No Japanese do not follow christens as a culture. They only have Christian weddings because the bride want to wear a wedding dress and Christmas is just couples day in Japan.
Just like many Westerners... While the majority of the Western population are various Christian groups, there are significant amounts of people other religions and atheists, many of whom also celebrate/practice the secular/commercial aspects of the originally Christian holidays. In fact, most people, including Christians, don't even realize Halloween is a Christian holiday. And even fewer realize that many of those holidays are Christian alternatives to older polytheistic religious holidays, with many of the holiday practices/traditions being direct carry-overs
I didn't think many Japanese were actually atheist. I thought most were just non religious but not necessarily atheist. I seem to recall a study showing many did believe in a higher power or were simply open to the idea making them theists and agnostics.
The thing people often misinterpret with statistics is thinking non religion = atheist when normally that is not the case. In my country, there's a lot of non religious people but they aren't atheist.

They are most certainly not atheist. I am Asian from my mother’s side. Religion is thought of very differently. It is not something you are a “member” of. It is a part of daily cultural life and is not thought of as we think of it in the West. Asian people are not overt atheists at all and are quite spiritual, they just are not members of official clergy and, thus, see themselves as non-religious as a result. The way the West sees atheism is very different from what the East sees it as and it does not carry the same ideological connotations.
bueno eran religiosos pero no en sus dios ellos tiene sus propios monasterios religiones etc
I am a Christian, to be specific a Catholic. Knowing about history, and how Christianity once was spreading like wild fire in Japan before it’s unfortunate ban, it would’ve been really cool to see what Japan’s religious demographics would’ve been like now.
On a side note, I believe that religion is much more than celebrating holidays. Religion is a way of life, it’s is spiritual.

@@alexkkxThat’s funny considering Protestants consider Catholics and other Apolistic religions as heretical. 😂
@@alexkkx" their teachings don't align with what Christianity has been historically". I dunno. Protestant intolerance is very in alignment with the holy inquisition, the church's support of slavery, the need for opulence (ever been to st. Peter basilica?), sexual abuse of minors and whatnot, the demand for tributes and people to hand over their properties, close ties with political power, so much so it has special legal status and benefits all over the world. The list of crimes committed and amount of blood shed through terror and cruelty by the roman catholic apostolic church is immense. I really don't see much good in its past, nor in its present, in its producing of blind faithful.
Christianity is inclusive: anyone can come to Christ regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status. But it is exclusive: only through Jesus can you truly know God.
Just as going in a garage doesn’t make you a car, so having a wedding in a church does not make you a Christian. Jesus wants all of your heart and allegiance. And that is easy to do when you see what He has done and proved His love on the cross.
Not if you don't believe it. If you try to find Jesus and you don't believe, you won't find him. And because you don't believe you won't be able to get any contact with satan either because he only cares about real believers.

Majority of Indonesians are Muslim so during Ramadan, my Muslim friends and I would schedule a meet-up to break their fasting together (I'm not fasting). My mom would make ketupat and all the signature dishes that go with it and give it to her Muslims friends, of which her Muslim friends would give us the same thing. It's kinda an old tradition of Jakartans but not many people know or do now, sharing homemade ketupat.
I go to vihara and celebrate important days in Buddhism: Vesak, Asalha Puja, Magha Puja, Kathina. Everything based on the Theravada teachings, a Buddhism practice that is said to be the closest version to how people done it when Buddha Gautama was still alive.
On the other hand, I also celebrate Lunar New Year because of my Chinese lineage and go to the temples to pray to well-known gods & goddesses in ancient Chinese culture.
On January 1st, most people in my country celebrates it with dinners and events just like most people do in western countries.
When getting married: people here either do it according to their religion + culture, or you could just straightaway go to the civil registration office.
It's okay to celebrate other culture or important days of other religions as long as you understand the background story of it. If you're cherry picking only the fun part, those things would have no meanings. And when you can't find meaning in life, you will start losing yourself.
Start learning more about your own religion.
But also don't be a fanatic, overdoing it and became too religious, it can make you go crazy too. It is never good to think your religion is the best and that people will not find blessing/salvation in life unless they join your religion. This kind of mindset is why we have extremists.
It's not your fool's religion, it's God
Because religion does not save anyone, it is God who saves

Buddhist best celebrate Buddhist festival
To be honest with you, I love Japanese people celebrating their Buddhist and Shinto festivities which is part of the ancient cultural heritage of Japan and every country in the world has their own religions to celebrate and for outside people to always respect everybody’s cultural heritage!
Christmas is very festive in Sri Lanka as well. But, Christian population is just 7-8%. Christian culture was expanded to Asia during the European colonial rule. Most of the Asian countries have Christian European cultural influence eventhough they do not follow Christianity specifically. Back then, Sri Lankan buddhists also had their weddings in European style like japanese do. But now, old cultures are visible with few modifications.
Yes, most of the Asians took christianity as a culture. But not as a religion. They celebrate these festivals without a faith.
@@Nature_Lover-do7vfThat's sad
Jesus Christ is not culture, he is the son of God
@@eduardodias983That’s sad but people have their own beliefs.
It’s cultural religiosity. There’s a similar thing in many parts of America. People don’t really believe in the religions. But they keep the customs.
I know many Americans who go to church every Sunday yet don’t even read their Bible. Church isn’t something they go to out of faith. Rather just “because it’s always been done” or something like that.
Yeah, Americans are hypocritical heretics.
Christian here. I remember hearing about the Christian persecutions of the Edo period. I wonder if there would be a high percentage of Christians in Japan if that it didn't happen like that.
I agree many people do follow the norm and society rules and it’s customs unaware of its traditional symbolic meaning
As a Catholic I cannot mix Christianity with any other non-motheistic reason especially polytheistic like Shinto. So I am not allowed to visit any Shinto Shrine because it's part of a polytheistic religion.
you can visit it, as long as you do not admit or believe in it as a superior to god, or even exist. matter of fact you would be rewarded. god rewards knowledge and the jihad (effort or struggle) of obtaining that knowledge. here in islam at least idk about knowledge in the bible
simplified, visit it as u desire, just dont worship it. learn from it, dont worship it

Christianity in a relationship with Jesus Christ
I think there are far more religious people in Japan than statistics say there are, especially Christians.
Cultists have soured peoples views on Religion in general over there, so most fearing of being seen as nails that stick out, choose to class themselves as Atheists or Buddhists, which is much more socially acceptable in an extremely conformist country like Japan.
Personally Japan’s really laid-back mindset towards religion is almost what drives me to want to move there really. I have found that oftentimes religion holds people back from their full potential on earth and causes more problems than good, like wars, dissensions etc, here in america I feel like religion is becoming our ultimate downfall, religion (in my opinion) oftentimes keeps societies from moving forward or prospering greatly. Also I say this personally myself being a believer in Christianity. I find a lot of arrogance among many other people who claim to be Christians here in america. I believe God does not want us to be arrogant. When people become arrogant over God or the things they believe, thats when I define it as religion. While personally i believe the basic fundamentals of Christianity (Jesus is God, he died and rose again etc) i think God reveals himself in his own way to every person whether they believe or dont believe. He never forces himself onto people like religious people would have us to believe. Ultimately in the Bible Jesus was crucified by religious people because he called out how they’d choose religion over humanity and they hated him. Thats what i feel like is happening in America right now. I think people need the real Jesus that loves people instead of the picture religion has painted about God, the less religion the better 👍. So thats one reason i really like Japanese culture 😁
Meanwhile Japan becomes a porn addict’s Mecca and decreasing population.

It certainly combat the growing irreverence of immigrants and aimless gen Alpha. Glory to God in the highest!

Would pick poison and eat poison? The true Almighty Lord Jesus shall return with his kingdom to this earth and the true Christians shall reign with him. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. I keep the new moons, holy days and sabbaths. The popish conceited heathen false Christians keep sunday, turkeyday, Christmas, January 1st, Easter, etc. Not every so called Christian will be in the kingdom. Matthew 7:21-23. I have been through tribulation and have suffered in this world. The righteous Christians are ready for the kingdom of heaven which shall be in this earth for 1,000 years and in the new earth for eternity. Either you want to be with the Almighty Lord Jesus for eternity or you don't. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and because I love him, I keep his commandments. I hate every false way and that includes Romanism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Atheism, etc.
It could be worse. I am fortunate to know several Japanese Christian’s actively attending church, as I attend with them (the service is in Japanese) 🇯🇵 God blessed me to get to live in this fascinating land.

It should also be noted that the 62% atheist stat is actually 62% self-identified as not a member of a religion, which is important to note because in Japan(according to Wikipedia) membership of a religion usually refers to the clergy/priesthood or monks/nuns of that religion. So, naturally, the percentages of the population self-identifying as members of certain religions will be lower the actual percentages of the population that practice and/or believe them, and the percentage of the population that self-identifies as "no religion" will be higher than the actual percentage of the population that is truly atheist.

Actually in Japan 99% people are shinto.
Many people follow Hindu bhuddhist principles and some Christian philosphy along with their original culture Shintoism.
Just like in India many Hindus follow Bhuddhism and Jainism principles also. Gautam Bhuddha is our history.
When it comes to Christian wedding, Christmas and other things then it's all due to trend and western effect otherwise both Indians and Japanese still follow their traditional religion.
What speaks to me about Japanese people is that they are open to the truth of who Jesus really is and what He did because of their simple way of wanting to fit in and not be different due to historical events where Japanese people were oppressed about their religious views which dates back to very harsh and horrible repercussions for claiming to be followers of Jesus such as public executions and torture, even to torture little children who believed in Christ, that is now why we see people of Japan so open to religion because in their past it has been a big oppression

Then, that event strengthened my faith to the point that i started getting amazing prayers answered very often because i quit doubting... and was alinged with the Bibles instructions.
Then, i started copying and pasting my testimony all over these TH-cam comment sections and sharing it with people id meet... Im telling you, it adds up and sharing your testimony gets easy to do... Especially if its online. THIS way of reaching the masses is so effective and easy...

I have started watching 4K walking tours through different cities in Japan. I started picking people out of the crowd and praying for them. And I feel as though there is going to be a great revival in that land.
My view is that Japanese people believe what they want to believe. They are perfectly happy to celebrate religious events, but only on their terms (which tend to be superficial). I suspect most Japanese are polytheistic and believe a mishmash of things, which means a single person can be buddhist _and_ shintoist _and_ very superficially Christian _and_ whatever else is fashionable at the moment. Personally, I think it's a healthy way of accepting multiple religions.
I live and work on Japan. I've been working for many years attempting to spread the gospel to people in Japan. K have hope that Japanese people will come to know Christ. I can see their hunger to live a more meaningful, fulfilled life and I am optimistic for Japan.
Halloween is a pagan holiday. The only Christian holidays are Christmas and Easter. The rest are just overwritten pagan holidays by various churches throughout history. Particularly the Catholic Church. You can argue all you want but it’s true.
