Chapter 57: Be responsible
Everyone was silent, only Zhang Cheng didn't know why, and asked, "If you understand something, tell me about it." I don't understand it yet. ”
Jasmine says: "In 397 A.D., the Church confirmed at the Council of Carthage that the original of the New Testament had been lost. The earliest New Testament manuscripts we can find today are Greek manuscripts from the 4th and 5th centuries C.E. ”
Zhang Cheng thought about it and combined it again to understand how could the New Testament, which was much more valuable than the holy foreskin or something, be lost-since the holy spear and the holy foreskin could be preserved, the New Testament should have been able to do so. There is no popular book burning and Confucianism, and it is not the missionaries who have the right to write and speak.
I didn't think about whether it was a conspiracy to be lost in the first place, but when I recopied it later, eighty percent of it was added, and the others they thought were miracles were also written.
After Zhang Cheng figured it out, Ha Luha smiled: "You guys are thinking, well, the Holy See has this bad problem, and it's not a problem." In our Chinese past, there was a historical romance novel called the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which in order to beautify a character, he wrote the stories that happened to other characters (empty city plan) and impossible things (straw boats borrowed arrows) to beautify the image of this character. Because romance novels are more interesting than historical records and spread more widely, many people even think that the things in romance are really done by him. ”
In Zhang Cheng's view, the role of the New Testament is similar to that of the Analects, and the Analects were certainly not written by Confucius himself - how shameless is that, how can the Holy Prophet and the Master of the Worlds be like this.
When later generations wrote the Analects, they inevitably added material according to their own ideas or the requirements of the ruling class, and the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament are estimated to be similar.
This kind of thing has been seen a lot for Zhang Cheng, a Chinese, and if the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty continues in the 21st century, Yue Fei's Manjianghong will still be in the Siku Quanshu - Zhuangzhi hungry and hungry for meat, laughing and thirsty for blood. When you are hungry and eat bird meat, and when you are thirsty and drink your own blood, the artistic conception of killing the enemy and serving the country is gone.
Zhang Cheng didn't have anything to do, he thought about it with a smile, but these people who have believed in Brother Tian's father since childhood...... The blow to the heart and faith is a bit big.
Many people were so heavy that there were no other activities this night, and in the middle of the night, when the sky was full of stars, everyone slept in sleeping bags. Zhang Cheng naturally cultivated in a sleeping bag, which was completely a natural environment, and the cultivation effect was much better than in the city.
The next day, Zhang Cheng got up and opened the sleeping bag and stretched his waist, only to see dozens of classmates who came to travel together as if they had made an appointment, and when Zhang Cheng stood up, he knelt on the ground with Zhang Cheng holding the cross, closed his eyes and shouted together: "Lord, please take us with the Lord and share the Lord's grace and love." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough" Zhang Cheng almost didn't come up in one breath, and after coughing twice: "You guys, this is too deeply poisoned by feudal superstition." ”
Jasmine opened her eyes and said, "No, we discussed it last night, and we called the church top brass in the morning to inquire. Since the New Testament records what you did in your past life as what the Lord did, then you and your past life are the reincarnation of the Lord. If you are willing to go to the Vatican or perform various miracles in churches in the United States, the Vatican will recognize your identity as the reincarnation of the Son. ”
Zhang Cheng was surprised and said, "But I don't believe in Christ at all, according to your habits, it seems that you need to be baptized after birth." ”
Jasmine: "How could Jesus believe in himself, Jesus is the God who taught everyone to believe in God and created the world. You believe in God, right? He is the God who created the world. Moreover, Jesus was baptized at the age of 30, which is entirely consistent with the reincarnation of the Son. The Bible also says that God will return for the fulfillment of His kingdom. He is the way, the truth, and the life. ”
That's fine, too. Zhang Cheng: "Okay, I believe that there is a god who created the world or the universe in this world, and performing miracles is not a big deal. However, the church has recognized that I am the reincarnation of the Son, and will not lock me up to meet with believers from all over the world, or let me go on a tour of the world to promote it. ”
Jasmine: "Unless you want to do this, this is the United States, not the Papal States, and first of all, we have to respect the laws of the United States." ”
Zhang Cheng: "Can I understand it this way, even if the Holy See recognizes that I am the reincarnation of the Holy Son, it will not affect my normal life." ”
"Yes." Jasmine and the others were confused and discussed last night, but after calling the Holy See in the morning, they immediately turned this confusion into gratitude to the Lord - I have to say that there is a reason why the Holy See has risen and fallen for thousands of years but has always stood tall.
"Then I'll think about it."
Zhang Cheng thought to himself: Could it be that this is the result of the previous life and the result of the future life, when he showed these small spells in his previous life, he was hunted down and killed all day long, and now he is actually considered to be the reincarnation of the Son of God. If it really doesn't affect your life, it's not impossible, anyway, if you don't show miracles, the church always makes some miracles and canonizes the saints.
With the canonization of the church, even if someone in the U.S. government wants to move him, he must consider the influence of religion. Maybe it's really a very good talisman.
It is estimated that it will not affect life at all, and it is estimated that it will be necessary to perform miracles once or twice a year, and if you want to reap, you have to pay, and the rights and responsibilities are equal. Fortunately, my responsibility is relatively relaxed, and that is to perform miracles.
After figuring out the pros and cons, Zhang Cheng felt that this deal was really cheap: "Okay, I will take responsibility." Let the people of the church come to Reno, and I perform miracles at the church in Reno. ”
The alumni who came here were happy and excited, and there were not many opportunities to witness miracles after all.
Tess advised Zhang Cheng: "In fact, if you go to the Vatican or a big city to show miracles, the effect is better." Reno is a small city after all, and the airport doesn't have flights every day. ”
Zhang Cheng: "Then Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, should have enough influence." ”
"Xie Lu Xie, I'm going to call the Holy See."
Tess's second phone call was not as simple as a bishop, and when he heard that a person who might be the reincarnation of the Son was going to perform miracles in a church in Los Angeles, the current Vatican Pope decided to verify it himself.
Christianity has declined over the years after years of division and scientific onslaught, and many Catholics have become accustomed to not going to church on Sundays, and if the miracle is true, the Pope will recognize him as the reincarnation of the Son – a great honor for the successor of the first Pope, Peter, even if he already knows that this man is of Chinese origin and born and raised in China, which is not surprising to the current Pope, who is also Argentine.
