25. Zealots of God
What kind of faith is true "faith"? This question continued to haunt the old fellows who were long overdue until I became an archbishop in the eyes that no one expected.
Some of them insist that "God" is a great and loving "Father" who can be tolerant and generous to friends, believers, and enemies, and to influence them with a "good" that no one can bear to do evil again. The other part is the belief in the "one God" principle, in the eyes of those old people who have dedicated their lives to the elimination of "darkness and evil", any power other than the god they believe in should be destroyed or ruled, and for those atheists, they must do everything possible to guide them on the path of believing in the "one God".
Some of them ostensibly believe in God, but in fact they are speculators who put on the sign of "God" for their own benefit, and some are just spies from the Magical Society, who are forced to believe in completely different beliefs every day just to get a brief chance to lurk......
There are too many of these people, all of them are dead wood left over from the previous era, which should have disappeared a long time ago. Even if the Divine Envoy didn't say so, I still think so, because their faith is not a true faith. For me, "God" is God, there is no superfluous meaning, and I believe and respect God without any other meaning, that's everything.
This is the faith of the current Archbishop Freya, and there is no need to reflect on whether it is right or not, because Mia, the oracle, has completely affirmed her faith.
She came out of nowhere in prayer and finally gave me a glimpse of the true "light". Although the rest of the congregants seemed a little disrespectful. But that's just a kid who hasn't seen the "world" in the world.
The Divine Messenger has come. Even if it is not the "itself" of faith, its symbol is enough to give my "faith" a cathartic point. I believe in "God" itself, and the commands of its spokesman are all I have, even if I sacrifice everything I have, and I must accomplish it without any doubt. That's enough.
So......
So......
……
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for the failure."
I don't think that bowing my head and apologizing will make up for my mistakes, but the greatest and most correct will of God has been messed up by me. It is even about to be exposed, which is an undeniable fault and a fact.
"It didn't attract much attention, though, and I think it had something to do with the recent appearance of the demon Beluseb that diverted their attention."
"So I let you start at that time."
Already, have you even considered what to do after your own failure? Yes...... This is the tip of the iceberg of the Divine Messenger, and if the Messenger is still like this, what if true "faith" comes......
No, now is not the time to indulge in her own fantasies, and since the Divine Envoy has already considered the finishing work after the defeat, it means that she does not believe that she can do everything she says about "oracles" 100%.
Nervous. Lost, unwilling...... But there is no way and there is no way to defend it. Because that's just the way it is. Obviously, such a crime cannot be reversed even by death, but the divine envoy has not been punished for this, which is already the greatest tolerance.
"Bishop, you can find some reason to explain it."
"It's going to make you unhappy."
Sure enough, the divine envoy was still angry, "And I'm not good at that." ”
"Phew, Freya, you're such a strange child."
The Divine Messenger approached me, holding a strand of my hair and stroking it with his hand. A little nervous, a little excited, but if these feelings are really expressed, it will be the greatest disrespect for the divine envoy. Even if she keeps asking me to call her by her name, even if she sometimes shows her feelings like an ordinary person, there is no room for me as a religious person.
Her eyes are so deep, it must have been through trials I couldn't imagine to embody the calmness.
"But having a devout believer like you has finally reassured us a lot. At least better than those old bones, isn't it? ”
"That's true!"
Ah, what a wise judgment, "Those rotten old men are only moths of the Inquisition, and it is only God's tolerance and generosity to keep them alive." I think the years of comfort have made them forget where they stand, so please ......."
Yes...... The Divine Envoy has finally mentioned this matter, and I can finally carry out her parables with no double-minded actions. The old men of the old days still corrode every corner of the Inquisition, giving them their peculiar smell of decay. It is also time for them to understand that they are still alive and well not because of God's gifts, but because they are enjoying God's mercy.
"Bishop."
The Divine Messenger finally straightened up, Ah, a new oracle is coming, and my opportunity to manifest my faith as the highest and most devout believer has come again!
"What happened before, why did it fail? Speak your 'quibble' outright. ”
"Miscalculated its strength as well as ...... The rescue was too fast. "People quibble, even me, and as long as you can shirk responsibility, then there are a lot of reasons.
The Divine Envoy must have thought the same way, which is why I have been asked to explain it this way.
"But the aftermath is very clean, and there will be no more doubts."
"Let's put it down and forgive them for a few more days."
She must have understood my feelings, "The demon Belusep has appeared, and I need to summon the projection of the Lord to ensure the safety of the Inquisition. It can be done immediately, but I've been delaying for a few days, and you know what I need you to do in those few days? ”
Here it comes...... Finally, it's coming.
No, I'm just a believer, and I can't influence the judgment of the oracle here because of my personal preferences.
"I ...... No, please make it clear. ”
"Bishop, are the so-called 'pious' Christians before you actually correct in their beliefs?"
"Wrong, that's a misinterpretation and corrosion of the true faith. Even the younger believers of this generation have become confused. ”
Such rotten wood has become a burden to the inquisition. And God certainly doesn't want to leave them with such a burden, and to take them with him just because of tolerance and generosity.
"Can they be counted as pious, and can they be counted as 'believers'?"
"No, they have never been true 'believers.'"
Serving God with other desires, not being punished by heaven is only God's forgiveness. And now it is not God's sudden punishment, it is only to make up for the mistakes they have committed before.
"So, what do you think you should do with such heretics? What can you do? ”
The angel must not taint her hands with the blood of the infidels, for all of her is holy. Then the duty of the blood-stained executioner, then, naturally falls on the most devout of the faithful.
Isn't that me? What a proud thing to do, I do an oracle that other believers don't even know about. This time, there can be no more failures.
"They should all be judged."
I'm almost out of control, but I have to do all the etiquette here.
"Please rest assured, this oracle, I will not fail again." (To be continued......)
