246 The true meaning of the apostles
"Two major sects?" said the goblin scholar in astonishment, "that your human religion can have different doctrines under the same faith?"
"These humans are the most boring. "There are always some of them who think they understand God's will. Just like the story just now, it's actually just a story of a female creature courting. A female wolf hovers between two male wolves, and the one that does not want to mate is naturally eliminated. ”
That's what it meant. The old professor nodded.
"There's nothing wrong with that understanding. Catherine glanced at Red Anger disappreciatively, "Originally, these stories have no specific meaning, how to interpret them depends on everyone's vision." There are only mating animals in the eyes, and of course only copulation can be seen. ”
"Oh, you have a point, too. What do humans say, and what do you see in this story?" the old professor became more and more interested.
"One of these two schools is called the 'Apostolic Sect' because it agrees with the views of the first Pope, St. Elster I. The Apostolic Sect believes that the rich daughter of the story reneges on the apostles and her own vows, which is equivalent to betraying faith in the Most High God. The hunter's care for the rich daughter represents worldly desires, so the rich daughter succumbs to worldly desires and falls into both soul and body at the same time. "The apostolic discourse is straightforward and easy to understand, but it has not been able to explain the end of the story very well. If the apostles represent the supreme faith, then the riches of the depths of the wasteland are the reward of the Most High God for the believers. But the rich daughter was unwilling to find her way back, and the apostle did not punish the fallen rich daughter. This is also questioned by many believers. ”
So the Apostolic Sect later explained that worldly desires can deceive and blind people. While the parents of the hunter and the rich daughter have already seen the truth, the rich daughter is still losing herself, which is related to the seeds of sin that are nurtured in her body. Her reluctance to give up her child means that her desire continues to captivate her after her desire sprouts. However, the Most High God is all-encompassing, and no matter how great the sin is committed, God will still give sinners a way of salvation. So in the end, this depraved rich daughter was not punished. ”
"No, no, no. I think the previous interpretation is not bad. The goblin scholar shook his head, "But the later explanations were too far-fetched and unconvincing, not convincing." ”
Catherine nodded, "So there have always been voices of disapproval of the interpretation of the Apostolic Sect within the church. At the time when Bishop Teoroki lived, the master theologian wrote a new narrative of the story in his famous book, The Highest Note. Bishop Teoroki's views were quickly shared by a group of young friars within the church, and gradually developed into a sect called the 'Cult of True Will'. ”
"The True Faith sect believes that the apostle in the story represents the desires of the flesh, and the rich daughter wants to marry the apostle because of his handsomeness. It shows that the daughter of a rich family succumbs to the temptation of carnal desires. And wilderness represents the essence behind desire is desolation. The Hunter is the true Redeemer, who represents faith in the Most High God. Out of his love for his people like a parent, the Most High God sent him to save the rich family's daughter. Catherine begins to tell the interpretation of the True Faith Sect, "And at the end of the story, when desire tempts the rich daughter again, the rich daughter can resist the erosion of desire because her faith has been reborn (the child in the body)." In the end, the apostle rewarded her for her sincerity. ”
"Well, that sounds like a lot of reason. The old professor agreed.
"After the formation of the True Intention Sect. The new clergy of the church are almost always in the Faith Sect. Therefore, at one time, the True Intention Sect thought that their interpretation was directly referring to the true meaning of the Supreme God, but the strange thing is that the members of the True Intention Sect were never able to enter the upper echelons of the religious church, let alone someone who had become a pope, which made the 'True Intention' questioned. Catherine smiled a little. As if to tell an interesting story, "Thus the Cult of True Faith eventually developed into a strong sense of rejection of the Apostolic Sect." This exclusion has nothing to do with doctrinal interpretation. The two sides often engaged in verbal arguments at meetings inside the church, which gradually turned into physical altercations, and now they are at odds with each other. ”
"Feeley. Si Ge, who had not spoken, actually interjected at this time. "Apostolic Sect. ”
"The little priest? I remember him. Before the female mage could speak, the goblin scholar immediately shouted, "He can use divine magic." ”
"Divine magic can only be used by members of the Apostolic Sect. They have always occupied the upper floors of the church. It's because they can use divine magic. A divine power that is considered to be available only to preachers recognized by the Supreme God. Catherine added.
"That's the reason. Red Rage laughed, "Hahaha, pretending guy." When the Supreme God farts, they're going to sniff and laugh at me. ”
"Why is it funny?" the old professor wondered.
"How can it not be funny. If Red Rage hadn't had only one claw, he would have applauded, "Don't you understand? The so-called doctrinal arguments are meaningless at all, and this religious church is still speaking with strength." Their rulers are magicians. Divine magic is essentially a side branch of divine magic. Divine magic is a simplified version of divine magic. Pseudo-believers who don't have the bloodline of the gods can rely on smelling the farts of the gods to perform. Hahaha, got it. ”
"I still don't understand. The goblin scholar thought for a few seconds and asked, "What is a god's fart?"
"It's the superfluous power that emanates from the gods. Catherine pointed to the red rage, "like the breath he exhales when he speaks." ”
"Phew!" Red Rage spat out thick green phlegm, "You're just farting out of your mouth." Give me back the fallen heart, old man. ”
The old professor smiled rarely, and threw the depraved heart in his hand over. It's a pity that his hands are too short and he doesn't use enough force. The fallen heart that the female goblin had turned into fell to the ground halfway through, and was shattered.
"Ahh ”
He jumped up from the stone bench and rushed over to grab the goblin scholar, apparently trying to beat him up.
"You let go, Mr. Professor. Catherine stood up at once, and Scott slowly stood up.
Red glared at the two of them angrily, and then looked at the goblin scholar in his hand, "What, you want to fight two and one?" (To be continued......)
