Debate...
Unlike the Western religions on the Blue Star, in the Seggs world with extraordinary powers and the existence of gods, such a phenomenon is not uncommon.
And because gods often walk on the earth in avatars, believers' awe of gods is not entirely dogmatic.
The believers in the world of Seggs do not refuse to reflect, and their thinking is often more open and tolerant than some religious believers on the Blue Star.
Here, in most cases, debates are discussed by clergy within the church, and religious thinking is carried out.
For the true gods, they are also happy to see this situation, and sometimes even improve their doctrines based on what the believers have gained.
As long as it is conducive to the development of the power of the gods and strengthens the beliefs, they will be accepted by them.
It is also because of this that with the endorsement of the true God, the debate will have a sacred aura, which is highly valued in the major churches in the world of Seggs.
Over time, many conflicts between churches are often resolved in the form of debates.
However, the debate between church and church is different.
The doctrines of different true gods are vastly different, and it is often difficult to convince each other in debate, and some even contradict each other because of the conflict of laws.
More often, the priests of different churches still use debating scriptures as a means to direct the topic of debate to their dominant field to suppress the other party, or to seek the legitimacy of their behavior from the doctrine and creed.
In other words, it is through debating scriptures to shape righteousness.
This is not necessarily true, sometimes it is even a kind of sophistry, and sometimes it is even a sophistry altogether.
However, because of the existence of the sacred halo of debating scriptures, as long as the final aura and the result overwhelm the other party, it means victory.
This kind of debate often appears in religious trials in the Seggs world.
And if the victorious party is the judge, they can even deal with the defeated hostile clergy at will.
Even if the other party is the favored one.
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the true gods. In a sense, they also use this method to indirectly promote the perfection and development of their churches.
Of course, the above is for the situation where the strength of the two churches is not very different.
In the world of Segus, since the expansion of the Holy Manian Empire to its limit eight hundred years ago, and the faith of the Eternal Lord gradually spread throughout the starry sky, the Eternal Church has stood out among many churches, showing overwhelming strength.
Gradually, this behavior of debating scriptures has become less and less in the process of communication between the Eternal Church and other churches.
There is no need for power to debate this kind of thing.
Because of this, after hearing what Old John said, the Bishop of Trial was slightly taken aback.
Debate...
At this moment, his eyes seemed to be in a trance.
Since becoming the bishop of the Eternal Church, it seems that he hasn't heard the term for a long time.
Because of the trial of the Eternal Church, it is only necessary to list the crimes of the judged, and then burn them in a fire.
However, today’s object is indeed a bit special, because the one being judged today is not an ordinary believer, but a favored one.
Not only that, he is not only the favored one, but also a favored one with powerful divine power, a favored one of the church that has faintly been able to fight against the eternal church in the world of Segus.
In the face of such judgments of the favored ones, it is indeed necessary to be more cautious.
"How? Or as the bishop of the Eternal Church, do you not even have the courage to argue with me now?"
Looking at the presiding bishop who looked uncertain, Old John continued to smile.
There are needles in his words. Although gentle and calm, there is a strong provocation in them.
The anger of the bishop on trial came up in an instant.
He stared at Old John, his eyes red.
But after all, reason overwhelmed his anger, and he finally turned his head back with a sullen face and looked at the black-clothed chief bishop of the courthouse sitting high above.
The black archbishop looked calm.
Noting the gaze cast by the Bishop of Trial, he did not immediately respond, but looked at the highest leader of the church surrounded by stars, Pope Benedict II.
For a time, many pastors and bishops' eyes were fixed on Benedict II.
Benedict II still looks calm.
He chuckled and nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this, the Bishop of Judgment immediately understood the meaning of the Holy See.
The Church of Life has gradually gained momentum.
At this moment, the accusation and trial alone may have been difficult to subdue public opinion.
Only by doctrinally and spiritually destroying the other party can we truly achieve the purpose of this trial, occupy the true righteousness, and prepare for the next action.
Thinking of this, the trial bishop sneered and said:
"Why, does a pariah who was lucky enough to get a favor, also want to get involved in the sacred debate?"
"Where do the untouchables start? For the eternal church, only the aristocrats and clergy are humans, and we ordinary people are all lowly existences?"
Old John said casually.
As soon as this remark came out, the people onlookers around instantly started to talk.
The clergy of the Eternal Church looked solemn.
They know that the debate has already begun.
The bishop's brow furrowed.
He snorted coldly and said:
"Huh! Cultists are cultists! Even now, I still want to provoke discord and confuse the people!"
"But, didn't you just say the word untouchable? I just expanded what you just said a bit further."
Old John shook his head.
As he said, he sneered:
"Perhaps... this is the hypocrisy of the Eternal Church."
"Although it is preached in the doctrine that everyone is equal before the true God, as long as you believe in piety, you can ascend to the kingdom of God for happiness and peace after death, but the reality is to tell believers not to resist, to learn to endure, oh to bear, to obey The rule of the nobility..."
"But you can't even grasp the reality, so what about after death?"
"From this perspective, the Eternal Church... is nothing more than a tool for the aristocracy to oppress the people and consolidate the decaying empire."
As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers were suddenly shocked.
Everyone looked at Old John with horror and shock, never expected that he would dare to satirize the eternal church so much.
You know, in the world of Seggs, it is recognized that theocratic power is greater than the kingly power.
However, Old John described theocracy as an adjunct to the royal power...
This is blasphemous naked nakedness!
The bishop's expression slightly changed.
He scolded:
"Shut up! You nonsense pagan! The holy religion is a balance that maintains human order. How can you be allowed to blaspheme?!"
Taking a deep breath, he sneered and continued:
"Reality and death? Huh, how long can one be born? And how long after death?"
"The pain in the world is nothing but a test given to believers by our Lord. As long as you have a pious heart, you will be able to ascend to heaven and gain eternal life after death... At this point, you don't see the body, don't look at the noble and low, but only look at pious!
"You don't understand how heavy and light it is!"
Old John sighed softly:
"That's why... I said that the Eternal Church is hypocritical."
"Everyone is equal before the gods? Maybe, but...is the equality of the eternal church true equality?"
"I don't see the body, don't look at the nobility and inferiority...hehe, it's just an illusory ‘equality’ to cover up another ‘inequality’."
"The same believers, why must the lowly have to be low? Why must the noble have to be noble?"
"Nobles are always nobles, and the poor are always oppressed? Is this reasonable?"
"The nobles are enjoying in the castle, living a life of drunken gold and gold, and the poor must not only run around for a living all the time, but also endure the oppression and exploitation of the nobles. Is this reasonable?"
"Nobles can communicate closely with the priests, can pray in the best prayer rooms, and can even be baptized by the priests..."
"However, civilians are not even looked at by the clergy. They can only ask the gods for help when they are most helpless. Some of the poor are sick, and even because they can’t afford to get out of the clinic, they can’t even enter the door of the church. Is it reasonable?!"
"This is unreasonable!"
"Speaking of equality of faith, and saying that everyone is the same before the gods, but this is just a rhetoric for the eternal church to fool the people!"
"The essence of the eternal church is a tool to oppress the masses!"
At the end, Old John almost sternly scolded.
As soon as this remark came out, the discussion among the surrounding people seemed even louder.
Some people who had obviously read books gradually fell into contemplation.
Others, although their faces are blank, their gazes towards the clergy of the Eternal Church have changed a little.
Seeing this scene, some priests of the Eternal Church frowned slightly, glancing at the Bishop of Judgment with a trace of dissatisfaction.
The look of the bishop of trial also changed slightly, and he soon realized that he seemed to be led by the opponent.
The doctrines of any church are reasonable, but at the same time, they certainly have their own loopholes.
But to argue the truth, to put it plainly is to seize the loopholes of the other party and enlarge it hard.
For this reason, in the process of debating the scriptures, the most taboo is to be led by the nose by the other party and have been debating certain doctrines of his own church. Instead, he should take the initiative to catch the other party’s sore feet.
The bishop of the trial quickly reacted.
It's been too long to argue, and this time, he really made a low-level mistake.
After waking up, he narrowed his eyes, grunted, and continued to reprimand:
"Sophistry! Childish! Absurd!"
"In this world, how can there be absolute fairness?"
"The Church of Life advocates equality of all things, which is simply hypocritical, naive, and ridiculous!"
"Can a person who was born a great nobleman be the same as a person who was born with nothing?"
"Can a person with extraordinary powers be the same as an ordinary person who doesn't even know a few words?"
"This world is inherently unequal! Forcing everyone to be equal will only bring greater inequality, and will only bring greater problems!"
"Everything has its own laws of operation, so does society, and so does order! People are born unequal! Where there is order, there are levels! Maintaining a good level can maintain the stability of the world!"
"What the Church of Life has done is completely creating opposition! The equality of all beings of the Church of Life is the greatest hypocrisy!"
"The Church of Life uses inequality to incite believers, confuse the people, and create chaos, but it's just for selfish desires!"
"All beings are equal? Hey...complete equality will only dampen people's enthusiasm and make people lose their motivation to make progress!"
"This is total hypocrisy!"
"Only my lord recognizes the inequality in the world; only my lord respects the inequality in the world; at the same time, the lord treats every believer with equal eyes, and this is true equality!"
"Equality is relative, and the premise of equality is order! Only when there is order, there is equality!"
After hearing the words of the Bishop of Trial, Old John sighed softly:
"But, has the Eternal Church really done it?"
As he said, he looked solemn and scolded:
"Treat every believer with equal eyes?"
"Heh... But what I saw is the eternal church and the nobles fighting together, oppressing the people!"
"Respect for inequality in the world?"
"Heh... But what I see is that the Eternal Church is conservative and stubborn, increasing the injustice in the world!"
"Yes! The world is indeed unequal... But for the human kingdom, the inequality between people is often caused by the oppression of the nobles! And the Eternal Church is the biggest accomplice!"
"The Eternal Church represents only the interests of the nobles and the rich. The Eternal Church cares only about the value of the transcendents and those in power. The Eternal Church does not care about the vast number of poor people at all!"
"The population of nobles occupies less than one percent of all human beings, and the number of transcendents occupies less than one-tenth of the total number of human races. The Eternal Church represents only the interests of a very small number of people!"
"Ordinary talents are the vast majority. Ordinary talents are the cornerstone of the human world. The eternal church separated from the masses... is not qualified to say that they are the guardians of the human world!"
As soon as this was said, the discussion in the square became louder.
Many people's gaze gradually changed, some nodded slightly in agreement, and some even cast a hostile gaze toward the Eternal Church.
"shut up!"
The trial bishop was also angry:
"What do you know? Nobles control knowledge, transcendents control power, and those who control knowledge and power should have shouldered the responsibility of ruling! This...is the order of the Seggs world!"
"Does the Church of Life expect some foolish people without power and knowledge to rule?"
"This is the biggest irresponsibility!"
"Not to mention, how can the life church that advocates equality of all living beings be qualified to point fingers at us? If we believe in the life church, advocate equality of all things, and the rise of other races, mankind will definitely lose its leading role in the era!"
"That is the biggest nightmare for the entire human world!"
"The eternal church is the eternal church for all mankind, and the eternity for all mankind, but the life church is not the life church for all mankind!"
The words of the Bishop of Judgment were loud and loud.
After hearing what he said, the people began to discuss again. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
The believer who was still vacillating just now fell into thinking again.
However, Old John just sighed slightly:
"That's the problem."
As he said, he slowly shook his head:
"Mr. Judgment Bishop, your faith in the crown of the goddess, and your ideals of our life preachers, do not know anything..."
"You don't know the true philosophy of our life church, and you don't even know the true pursuit of our life church, let alone the true greatness of our life church..."
"Your eternal church is just standing in front of the wheel of history, stubborn and ineffective, and a stumbling block that hinders the progress of human society."
