Chapter 330 God’s People Will Be Persecuted

In the history of the church, the golden age has another name.

years of persecution.

The ancient church and true believers are often the targets of persecution. This history is extremely painful and long.

Just like the slaves of the true religion that Vinakana and Jane saw on the mountain road, believing in the Lord is by no means an easy task in this era.

First of all, in the mythology, the gods created the world, and then created the creatures of various races, and the Lord is the latecomer.

In the myths propagated by the priests of the gods, the master of the latecomers has become the god of the gods above the gods, which is undoubtedly unpleasant. The believers and priests of the gods often avoid talking about the king of the faith. .

Furthermore, because the true believers claim that they are the Lord's people, the Lord is higher than the gods, and their beliefs are also higher than others, which is hated and envied by people.

Stoning by stoning, burning by fire, and falconry. The true Christian leaders of this era are always on the road of martyrdom.

Those god believers laughed at them:
Will God's people be persecuted?

But the true believers have to face the fact that even God's people will be persecuted.

The last major reason is that the true believers started from poverty, from humble beginnings.

In the long history of the golden age, the age of persecution, there are always poor priests who claim:
God loves the world, so no one is unworthy of love.

There should be no distinction between high and low. In the Lord’s kingdom of heaven, there are no kings and slaves, and there are no seats. Everyone is a child of God.

Those fanatical leaders of the true religion even shouted when they were dying:
Wait for my God to reward and punish you!The blood of the powerful must be shed, for evil is in your hands!

Rationally, there is an essential doctrinal conflict between the belief of the gods and the belief of the Lord.

When future priests rationally examine this period of history, they will all know that since ancient times monks called for love regardless of high or low, and that those who love others are the Lord's people, the believers of the gods are destined to destroy this The flame of faith should not be seen by others, and the sound of crackling fire should be covered up so that no one can hear it.

The priests of the gods who preach the faith on earth, and the poor priests who preach the love of righteousness, the two paths have always run counter to each other.

At this time, Venakana was in the kingdom of God in Moreland, and everything here was stuck in the golden age.

Jane scrubbed the faces of the slaves, giving the overseer a keen sense of their faith.

The supervisor watched them go away and spit on the ground, his eyes were full of taboo.

The two are walking on the mountain road.

With the passage of time, the domed towers rising from the Great Temple have been looming.

After walking through two or three circles of the mountain road, the majestic Great Temple appeared in front of the two of them.

Every city-state has its own acropolis, and many city-states first have the acropolis and then the city-state. When the two saw the Great Temple, they realized that future generations would use this as the center and cornerstone to build a magnificent city-state.

The construction of this temple started a hundred years ago, and it was not completed until 60 years ago, which lasted 30 years.The elliptical body of the temple is built with the finest marble in the world, the so-called "dwarf Atre marble".There are domed towers on both sides of the temple.There are eight pillars on the front and back, and seventeen pillars on each side. The pillars are as white as jade, and they are said to be polished from the remains of evil dragons in the past.There are also two rows of columns in the inner array, with six columns in each row.

Through the open gate of the temple, it can be seen that the statue of the human god Morlan is enshrined in the center, that is, the god walker Morlan who slays the dragon. Hundreds of years ago, he was given the blood of the gods and passed the twelve tests. , became a god by beheading the evil dragon Dosumilak.

The statue is carved out of gold and dragon teeth, holding a long sword in both hands and stepping on the incomplete dragon wings, with a solemn face.

There are already people waiting in the Great Temple.

Except for the priests and servants of the Great Temple who were similarly dressed, there were three groups of people gathered in the Great Temple. It was noon at this moment, and the hollow dome cast bright sunlight, casting a layer of brilliance on the statue of Morland.

Those three groups of people were the first to respond to the request for help from the assistant priest of the Great Temple.

The figures of the princess and Jane appeared in front of the gate of the Great Temple, and a priest from the Great Temple greeted them.

He looked at the clothes of the two of them, and couldn't tell which god's believers they were for a moment, so after a brief exchange of greetings, he asked:
"May I ask which god's priests are you two?"

"The Lord above."

Vinakana has nothing to shy away from, there is nothing in this world worthy of her shyness.

The priest's pupils trembled, and a hint of taboo and hostility flashed in his eyes.

He hastily saluted, and after inviting them to come in, he hastily walked away a few steps.

True believers are mostly born in poverty, and vulgarity and filth are often tabooed by the priest class, because they pursue to serve the gods with purity.

"Hasn't Lal finished his fast?"

In the great temple, the priest who believed in the plague god Stullard asked.

In mythology, the earliest divine blood inherited by Moreland came from the plague god Stullard, so the two believers have always been very close. Even when Moreland ordered to smash the statues of other gods, the two sides still maintained connect.

Vinakana and Jane stood in a corner of the Great Temple, neither far nor close to the place where the three groups of people gathered.

At this moment, the priest of the God of Prophecy glanced at the two of them.

The priest heard the words of the Priest of Moreland, and he had a keen premonition to capture something, and then he saw the icon on the nun's chest.

"Are you true believers?"

The priest of the God of Prophecy asked, his tone not very kind.

The Lord in the mouth of true believers is also respected as the Lord of Destiny.

For the priest of the God of Prophecy, such a title is not without harshness.

What's more, the true believers claim that the God of Prophecy is only prophesying to the Lord, and all fate has nothing to do with the God of Prophecy, but is determined by the Lord.

It can be said that there is an essential conflict of doctrine between the true believers and the believers of the God of Prophecy.

"Yes."

Vinakana said flatly.

"You claim to be God's people?"

The priest of the God of Prophecy asked again, his tone only maintaining politeness on the face.

"Everyone is."

"I am the priest of the God of Prophecy. Even people like me who serve the gods dare not call themselves God's people."

The priest of the God of Prophecy spoke coldly.

His implication was clear and clear.
God's people are mostly slaves in chains?
Today's believers of the gods are above the true believers, which gave the priest the confidence to be ironic.

The priest would not know that in the distant future, when the gods traveled far away, those who believed in the gods were in danger.

"You have your own shackles, you just don't know it."

Vinakana is at ease.

The priest's pupils shrank slightly, and felt that this was absurd. The priest is a pure person who serves the gods, so how could he bear the shackles?

"Argument, why am I in shackles? This is nothing more than the nonsense of your preaching."

The priest spread his hands and asked urgently.

It seems that to refute Venakana right now is to refute the Lord of the true believers for the god of prophecy.

Venakana's eyes overflowed with golden light.

She stared at the priest and spoke slowly:

"What is a bondage? A drive, like a king with his subjects, and a master with his slaves. Is that so?"

The priest of the god of prophecy was confident that he would not be easily defeated by Vinakana, so he first agreed:
"Is such that."

"Then your chains are with your gods."

"what are you saying?!"

"Your god is the God of prophecy, you worship him, you worship him, you build temples for him, you are driven by faith,
Those rituals, those rules, those temples are naturally your shackles. "

"We worship from our own heart!"

Faith was offended, the priest of the God of Prophecy grumbled.

"Is everyone's heart like this? Have there never been heresies among the believers of the God of Prophecy? Has anyone ever claimed to have mastered the real divine revelation of prophecy, and was executed by you?"

Vinakana asked.

The priest was suddenly impacted by this wave of interrogation, looking for loopholes in the words for a while, but was unable to do so.

He didn't know that the princess who had studied the rhetoric of the royal family used the debate method summed up by later generations.

Interrogating the opponent with the truth that is unfavorable to the opponent causes the opponent to fall into the predicament of rebuttal.

For a good debater, the only solution is to actively jump out of this predicament.

Obviously, it is difficult for people in this day and age to know this.

"Each of you has a different heart. You all have your own truths. Those rituals and rules are naturally the shackles of your beliefs."

The cold words of the princess fell to the ground, and the other two groups of priests looked over. They were astonished by the words, but the person involved—the priest of the God of Prophecy, was caught by the words.

After a while, the priest of the God of Prophecy, who was blushing, raised his anger in shame and asked:
"Speaking of this, don't you true believers have no shackles? Don't you all have the same understanding of the so-called Lord?"

Vinakana looked at the man, and she thought it was funny.

In his own cross-examination, he lost his mind, showed his weakness, and made the simplest mistakes in debate.

so.
"I never denied that true believers are in chains."

"I'm just saying that you are also in shackles."

"Our shackles are visible, but your shackles, you think they never existed."

The priest of the god of prophecy was speechless, belatedly seeing his fallacy now.

However, the debate is over, and there is no possibility of restoring the collapsed building.

Venakana glanced at the other priests of the gods, each of them thinking in their own way as they inadvertently listened to a sudden debate.

The princess clearly saw that they did not change their minds because of this debate.

For their words stand against them.

As the priests who study history have concluded:
The priests of the gods who preach the faith on earth, and the poor priests who preach the love of righteousness, the two paths have always run counter to each other.

The priest of the God of Prophecy almost fled to the side of the other priests and blended into them. Such behavior seemed to be a pretense.

This brief debate was nothing more than a blip in the Great Temple.

The Morlan priest first walked into the depths of the Great Temple, and walked out in less than a quarter of an hour, his face was relatively calm.

"Priest Lal still needs some time."

The priest of Morland apologized to the people waiting there.

"Even we who believe in the god of prophecy can't predict the frost giant dragon Sodora. Could it be that he is better than Dosumirak?"

The priest of the God of Prophecy asked.

"Yes, Priest Lal explained everything in his letter."

The priest paused, then continued:
"The Chosen One. We need the Chosen One of the earth god Moreland, so we ask you for help."

"Do you think the chosen one of the gods of the earth is among us?"

The priest of the wind god standing on the left asked,
"If you can't get the prophecy, how can you get the news of the chosen one?"

"Yes, that's why Priest Lal said to the Kama priests who asked for help and made a prophecy: Maybe someone who suddenly appeared in the world."

When referring to the Kama priest who went mad because of the prophecy, the Morlan priest's tone was very careful.

"...If you talk about people who suddenly appeared in the world."

The priest of the wind god pondered for a moment, then spit out:
"Among the believers of Graman, the god of cold wind, there is an astonishingly young priest."

The priest of Morland suddenly lifted his spirits.

"Who is which priest?"

"It is said that it is a man named Qim, and he is on his way here."

Then, the priest of Fengshen truthfully confessed what he knew.

Venakana, who was listening silently in a corner of the temple, was surprised.

Qim, who was the first to come here, is now a world-renowned wizard, which is unavoidably surprising.

"Where is Priest Kama now?"

The priest of the God of Prophecy asked again:
"Understanding the prophecies given by God is what we believe in. Since Priest Lal said in his letter that Priest Kama would tell various prophecies after going mad, then... maybe we can explain the prophecies."

The priest of Morland hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but he alone could not make a decision, all because the madness of an auxiliary priest was a taboo in the Great Temple.

The priest of the God of Prophecy continued to persuade:
"To deal with the Frost Dragon, you must understand the secrets behind it. Otherwise, you will look for pearls on land, and you will end up with nothing. Moreover, Morlan, the god of the earth, has not issued a will for a long time. Not much to say, your gods are better than us. Clearer."

"Okay, I'll ask Priest Lal."

After thinking for a while, the priest of Morland finally nodded in agreement.

Then the priest walked into the depths of the Great Temple again.

After everyone waited patiently, after two quarters, the priest of Morland finally came out from the depths of the Great Temple.

"Priest Lal agreed to let me take you to meet him."

The priest of Morland said so, his tone was particularly heavy.

He looked around at the people present, stopped for a while when he came to the princess and Jane, and then told Priest Lal's instructions:

"Priest Lal said: Whatever he says, such as: 'Truth', 'We are all illusions', 'The gods are dead'. No matter how appalling those words are, you take them as the foolishness of a madman, for they are It's crazy talk."
