own a death note, so?

In the Death Note animation, there is this guy called Light Yagami who has a death note and has the formidable ability to kill without even using his own hands. He seriously thinks that now he can rid the world of bad guys and create a better world without criminals. He thinks he himself is the KIRA who is god. What do you think?

Is having the power of controlling death makes you a god?

According to the Bible, Jesus said in Matthew 10:28 that we are not to fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Only the One True God of the Bible is able to destroy both soul and body in hell and we are to fear Him with reverence, my brothers and sisters.

After the devil failed to succeed in tempting Jesus as recorded for us in the Bible, he proceeds to plan in killing Jesus. He thinks that once he kills Jesus, he will have rid of the world from knowing Jesus as the Only One True God. He employs those Pharisees and Judas into his plan and in so doing; he thought that he has won the battle…

Killing Jesus does nothing to change the fact that the devil is still condemned to burn in Hades. God the Father is well-pleased with what Jesus has accomplished on the cross for us that He raised Him up from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

The Bible depicts for us beautifully in Colossians 1:13-22 and Philippians 2:5-11 with regards to what Jesus has won for us in his death. Besides these two passages, there are also numerous references in the Bible for us to mediate upon for the rest of our lives. This is indeed a mystery (Ephesians 5:32).

In concluding, there is absolutely no human being who can become a god, not even when you have the power of controlling death like Light Yagami. There is Only One True God who is Jesus Christ Himself, if not; He will not have said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).

This is the Gospel: that Jesus Christ came to this world to save us from our sins and reconcile us back to God the Father by dying on the cross for us.

There has and will not be another different gospel. Call upon the LORD today and be saved. If there is anyone who shares with you another gospel which is different from what is documented in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, let that person be accursed (Galatians 1:8).
