Vol 3 Chapter 17: Ask
"I heard that the bishop preached that God loves the world, regardless of each other, and whether the believers conform to the teachings of the Scriptures, not their identity, whether they are magicians or vampires, as long as they faithfully believe in God, send Believe in God from the bottom of their hearts and behave in a manner consistent with their beliefs, that is, they are pious and redeemable righteous people. "Lucian did not heed Richard's astonishment, but sneered like a scholar. Talk and seek guidance.
Lucian did not follow the content of "justification by faith" in the soul library, because truth theology and the cross on earth only resemble some places, and are not the same religion. The interpretation of "righteousness" is based on the incarnation of the Redeemer and the salvation of the world. There is no such miracle in the theology of truth, and no such savior exists. The random application will only make Richard laugh at his teeth.
Therefore, Lucian diverged the content of "justification by faith" into the more general religious laws.
Hearing Lucian's question, Richard gradually took his surprise, and initially suspected that it was the devil's temptation or the magician's lobbying. A kind smile appeared on his face: "So tell us that the honest man is not afraid, he will Ascending into the Holy Residence, the merciful person is not afraid, he will climb up to the mountain of heaven, the righteous person will not be afraid, he will be favored ... "
This is the content of a previous Scripture, which Richard recites: "If a magician or a vampire can truly believe in the Lord, all his actions are strictly in line with his own beliefs. Then, he must be devout and a righteous person who will be redeemed. There are many examples of night watchmen in the church tribunal, and other magicians, dark creatures, what do they do that are consistent with the teachings of the Holy Book? "
"Bishop Richard, you are talking about ancient magicians. They are cruel, crazy, bloody, they are indeed unrighteous people and cannot be redeemed, but most of the modern magicians obey the laws of the kingdom. They are not extravagant. Without indulgence, longing for beautiful things, what do they not meet the teachings of the Holy Book? "Lucian smiled.
Richard understood that the young man on the opposite side was not referring to the **** combat mages, but the arcane devotees to experiments. Even if they accepted the task, they basically destroyed the demons, demons, and dark creatures, and obtained resources. Exploring dangerous areas and so on, so instead of refuting from the loopholes in this sentence, but seriously said: "They are doing blasphemy every day, and they are lying in their dealings with the congregation."
"Blasphemy? Is it the study of the mysteries of things?" Lucian pointed to the sky and said, "Can the Scriptures record in the Holy Book that the world cannot be explored? Did God warn the world not to approach his realm?"
Richard thought back carefully and found that there was really no relevant content in the Holy Code. Only the Lord's refutation and warning of hypocrites, interference believers, evil ones, and **** ones. It was not specific that the exploration of the world would desecrate the gods. Majesty.
Lucien was also a disciple of God El for a while, and read Francis' copy of the teachings of the Holy Book several times. There are also books in the soul library for reference. Naturally, the relatively simple core of the Holy Book is clear. There is no such content in the book. After the Book of Sacred was written, the magic council could not find the shadow, and Douglas should be at an intermediate level. He had not yet proposed the concept of exploring the world.
Therefore, in the Holy Book, there is only a clear objection to the evil human experiment, that human beings should not explore the forbidden zone of life, and many arcanists are not good at necromancy at all.
For a few minutes, Richard said, "He said, don't come near me, don't face me ... this means that mortals must not come near the realm of the gods."
Balussian underestimated the interpretation of the clergy's dialogue. They could interpret different meanings from one sentence at any time, and for a moment did not know how to guide the topic and moved in their own preset direction.
Fortunately, the old man who had left traces of his face on Richard continued: "And the Scripture clearly stipulates that no mortal should attempt to step into the forbidden area of the gods."
"The Scriptures? It's not what God said, but it was formed by successive popes and some clergy. It is authoritative?" Lucian relaxed a little when he heard the words, which was his preset conversation direction. .
Richard frowned: "The Pope is the only spokesperson on the ground appointed by the Lord, and his words represent the majesty of the Lord."
"The Northern Church doesn't think so." Lucian carried out the teachings of the Northern Church, and thanked the truth theocratic division and the different factions for providing "cannonballs" in his heart, otherwise he would have to be Richard This true theologian debate is a self-death, and Lucian was not meant to argue doctrine, but to "help" Richard to clarify his own ideas, which is the content of psychological guidance in the Department of Illusions!
The refutation of the Church in the North has been the focus of research in the Church in the South for hundreds of years. Naturally, Richard quoted the Scriptures without exception, refuting eloquently, hearing Lucian's head swell, and waiting for his "that sentence" .
"... All the Lambs will be redeemed through the baptisms and rituals of the church, through the guidance, release, and help of the shepherds, and the head of the shepherds is my will ..." Richard skillfully established this section as Pope The words of identity came out.
Lucian's eyes brightened and he immediately interrupted Richard's words: "So, we cannot be justified by faith, even if the faith in our heart is more religious, and what we do is consistent with the teachings of the Holy Book, we must pass through the church. Salvation through the clergy, through the pope? "
This is a question that Richard himself has been contradicting for many years, and was so nakedly exposed that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"God loves the world, but loves the shepherd more? God loves the world, but does not want to communicate directly with everyone's soul? When praying, at home and in church, is there a difference in the dignity of the gods? Granted by divine art, Can it be guided by the clergy? "Lucian seized the opportunity and a series of questions erupted.
Richard wanted to refute, but thought that there were many talented priests and bishops who prayed with their parents when they were young, and when they read the Holy Book, they got the divine accident by chance, but they did n’t pass the monastery or the clergy at all. guide.
Balussian is now a one-click "fighting style", seeing Richard's thinking more confused, his voice asked loudly:
"The Pope is the Lord's spokesperson on the ground. Why do you repeatedly interpret the" Holy Canon "? Amend the" Holy Canon "three or four times?"
"Since God does not allow mortals to explore the world, why should the theology be modified based on the results of the Arcanist's exploration of the world?"
This is what caused Richard ’s confusion in the past two or three decades, and he began to advocate for justification by faith. Although he was vilified to revise the Codex, it is indispensable for your magician ’s “merits”, but he opened his mouth, but did n’t know How to refute.
"So, I think, in fact, the Pope and the church are obstacles between believers and God for personal power. Regardless of whether they can obtain divine art, they should be equally equal before the Lord, and will The act fell into **** in violation of the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. "
"Those who require cumbersome rituals, worship the church, and believers must pass through the clergy are hypocrites trying to hinder God from loving the world."
"Those who frequently modify the scriptures according to their intentions and interpret the Holy Book at will must be the latent devil."
Before Richard's reaction, Lucian yelled:
"Those clerics who say‘ belief, faith ’to their followers, but have blasphemed themselves!”
"Clerics who say‘ God loves the world, God loves the world ’to believers, but try to monopolize the spiritual path to the gods, farewell!”
"There shouldn't be any hindrance between believers and the Lord, only faith and what it does!"
Richard looked straight at Lucian, he said everything he wanted to say but did not dare to say, and it was more detailed, clearer, and more radical.
After Balusian finished speaking, stared at Richard without saying a word.
After a long while, Richard smiled bitterly: "The rights of the clergymen should indeed be regulated. The Lord gave them the magic not to let them stand on the believer's head, but to let them protect the believer and guard the faith."
Hearing this, Lucian smiled suddenly.
Uh ...
The fog disappeared, Richard opened his eyes and found himself still praying in front of the cross, sighing secretly in his heart: "It is indeed the fallen morning star ..."
Outside the church Afris stared at two translucent amber eyes: "Lucien, you convinced him? I remember that many people failed before?"
"I did n’t convince him, he convinced himself. If he did n’t have a similar bud in his heart, even if I was trapped in an inconsistent situation under my language trap, he would soon find a reason for interpretation. He is theology. Home, I am not. "Lucian did not feel a little proud," Do you think I can argue to win a theologian by relying only on my superficial theological knowledge? I just instilled an idea in him, if it would resonate , Then convince him, if not, I have no other choice. "
Afris said plainly: "Anyway you are great!"
"That's not. It is mainly psychological guidance combined with understanding of theological development. In other words, among the lobbyists, I am the one who knows theology best among those who are good at psychological guidance in the field of illusion. Both are good at psychological guidance, "said Lucien, laughing, and most importantly, backed by the soul library.
Richard's condition can be recommended to Natasha after observing for a period of time. Lucian finally relaxed a little, just to call Afris to leave, and suddenly felt a faint danger.
Is there a strong one coming to the Church of Redemption?
