To tell the truth, Feng Yunshan didn't think about it so much, and after listening to Mai Ke's thoughts on Sotov and his suggestions, he felt that it was comprehensive and correct, and hurriedly said: "I now officially express my opinion - agree with Sotov to be the mayor of Siam!"

Liuhua doesn't know much about Catholicism, but he still knows a lot about this Sotov, because he decided and implemented it because he was the minister of culture and education in Jiading, and he didn't expect Catholicism to have such flexibility, and I had the impression that they had always been very old-fashioned and had many rules and precepts.

Now that he is able to take part in the examinations, it is possible to be more and more deeply involved in secular affairs, which means that the Catholic Church has taken a step forward in being flexible and open, so he also supports Sotov as mayor, which is not a problem, but he has a larger problem in mind.

"Catholics are in power, and in the face of Islam, we have encountered many local religions in the past, such as the Big Tree Religion and the Green Leaf Religion, and I think we should have a more clear religious policy, so that everyone can have rules to follow and avoid unnecessary religious disputes.

"Therefore, I propose that an additional item be added to today's meeting of the Council: how the Kingdom of Heaven treats religions other than Christianity. ”

"Well, I second. If there are Catholics who can be mayors, we really need to be planning whether people from Judaism, Islam, or even Buddhism can do the same. Yun Shan understood and sensed the necessity of religious policy.

"Well, since two people agree to add an item, the proposal becomes a valid proposal, and when it is added to our agenda, the proposal of the two people is valid. It will also serve as a criterion for us in the future.

"Now I officially announce that we are going to determine the religious policy of the Kingdom of Heaven today, and the decision of whether or not Sotov can be mayor will also be consistent with this policy, so we will put the mayor's agenda on hold for the time being, and take the lead in discussing religious policy.

"I have a veto on this issue.

"Now, I would like to ask Brother Liu, the sponsor of the bill, to talk about your basic framework, and we will first set a few basic principles, and then flesh out the specific provisions later. ”

Although the issue of the six strokes is only officially considered today. Too specific a plan yet. The main content is already in place.

"Okay, I'll talk about my thoughts first, and throw bricks and bricks.

"I think one of the most important strategies is not to bring one's religion into officialdom, no matter who is in office. That is, you can't use your own position. to support their religious activities. It is to serve all citizens.

In this way, regardless of faith, as long as you have the ability, you can serve. As for whether his personal actions are in accordance with his beliefs. It was an internal matter of his own religion, and it was a different matter from his position. ”

"I understand Brother Liuhua's proposition, and I agree with it. Mai Ke then spoke, "That's why we haven't established a church all along. We are all Christians, and we know that everything we do is for the glory of God.

But this essential thing is manifested in our work and life, not through fixed religious practices.

"Therefore, members of other religions, only by entering the relevant state administration, must be detached from their religious form in the conduct of government affairs, and obey their religious requirements only in the matter of personal life. ”

Sven's expression was more serious, and his words were more serious: "We are Christians, and everything we do is according to the teachings of the Bible and the norms of Christian faith, which is already the standard of Christianity and the religious activities of Christianity.

"Strictly speaking, all the content of our activities can be counted within the scope of religious activities, which obviously has a certain conflict with what Mai Ke said just now, not to break away from religious forms in the process of governance, how can we understand and deal with it?"

Hong Xiuquan further exerted this effect: "Yes, we ourselves are a form of government established according to the principle of Christians, exercising our power, and I personally believe that being an official in this system cannot do without this substance, and cannot avoid its form, and this problem must be properly resolved. ”

Mai Ke said with a smile: "I am very pleased to see that the brothers have firmly grasped the essence.

Yes, our kingdom of heaven is a form of government established according to biblical principles and the basic norms of the Christian faith, and it is a concrete channel and instrument for the glory of God.

This principle must never be shaken or changed! This essence cannot be revised or adjusted.

This is something that the brothers see very clearly, and which they hold on to with great determination, is our basic national policy and will never change.

"Now let's look at what our religious policy is trying to achieve.

"This policy is our basic strategy, and the strategy exists at all times to ensure our basic policy!

In order to achieve the national policy we just talked about, it is necessary to adopt appropriate strategies and mobilize all conditions to ensure the implementation of the national policy and matters, rather than opposing or hindering its realization.

It is conceivable that if this strategy changes the national policy in terms of subjective intention or actual effect, it violates the original intention of this strategy, not to ensure its realization, but to hinder or oppose its realization.

Therefore, our strategy must be set up and implemented on the basis of the Bible teachings and the basic principles of Christianity, and in every appropriate way, all forces must be mobilized, mutually reinforcing, and working together to achieve the goals of this national system.

Therefore, we can say that this strategy tests our wisdom, not our faith.

"Our faith has been established and embodied in policymaking, and the realization of this system of government and policy requires our biblical, Christian wisdom to operate on a daily basis, including mobilizing and including all talents in this common effort. ”

Feng Yunshan smiled and gave Mai Ke a thumbs up: "Little brother is amazing, your clear distinction between faith and wisdom is too important, I thought that I couldn't make up my mind on this issue, it was my faith! It turned out that my wisdom was not high." Now my heart has fallen into my stomach! Hahaha!"

Liuhua, Hong Xiuquan, and Sven also nodded their heads, obviously everyone was worried about the same thing, and now the same worry was relieved.

Mai Ke also smiled and said: "I also thank you, it's not that you have a deep discussion, and I can't see the difference between the two."

We should all be thankful for the Holy Spirit's guidance in bringing us to this profound issue and, more importantly, to a clear understanding. ”

Let's "Amen" together.

Then McCor said, "But don't think that faith and wisdom have nothing to do with each other, or that wisdom doesn't matter if there is no problem with faith, but we can take our time later."

"Now, based on your discussions, I have summarized three points as our basic strategy and as a guideline for our daily affairs. (To be continued......)
