Chapter 533: Shura Road (3)
Xiao Yun's eyes were fixed on a skeleton tied to a wooden stake, the skeleton's hands were tied to the stake behind his back, and a rusty spear was inserted in the torso bone in his chest, it seems that this person was killed by a spear through the chest, "Shura Road is said to be a road dozens of kilometers long, and it is also a road full of horror and blood, it is rumored that this road is the place where Satan, the devil in Western legends, executes people who he thinks deserve to die." ”
"Satan the Devil? I often hear people mention his name, this person is famous in Western mythology, and his name is like thunder, but what kind of person is this person, Xiaoyun, can you tell me about it?", although Satan the Devil is famous, I really don't know much about his deeds. Since listening to Xiaoyun's tone, it seems that he knows a lot about this devil Satan, so I asked.
The Christian king of hell is called Satan, also known as the devil. Satan is a specific name, the king of demons, an enemy of God. ”
"Satan, as the king of hell, is not the embodiment of justice, but the representative of evil and punishment. This is very different from the Buddhist king of hell, who is in hell exercising righteous authority and presiding over the punishment of evil, and the nature of the two is completely different. ”
"The evil Satan, who is the root of all evil, ugliness, disgust, and suffering, is in a never-ending struggle with God, who is the source of goodness and beauty, joy and joy, and the result of this struggle is the present state of the world. ”
Satan (Satan), mainly refers to the biblical fallen angel Lucifer (also known as the fallen angel Satan), he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God Jehovah (fallenangels), once a seraphim before the throne of God, and later he fell into the devil because of his pride and arrogance and delusion to be equal to God, and was regarded as a source of evil and darkness opposite to the power of God. ”
If we were to examine Satan's life, we would find a surprising discovery that he was originally an angel in heaven. ”
In the 6th verse of Jude in the New Testament, it is written: There were angels who did not keep their nature and left their dwellings, and the Lord kept them in chains forever in darkness for the judgment of the great day. ”
From the above passage, it is clear that there are indeed fallen angels, who have left their position, rebelled against God, and were finally locked in darkness. The fallen angel mentioned in the above book is not Satan the Devil, because he was not locked up at that time, and he is still free to go around doing bad things. ”
"Fallen angels are not just one or two or a very few, but a group, and Satan is the leader of this fallen group that belongs to darkness. ”
There is a passage in the Old Testament book of Isaiah that reveals basic plots about Satan's origin and the reason for his fall. Verses 12-15 of chapter 14 says, "O bright star, son of the morning, how have you fallen from heaven, and how have you been cut down to the earth, you who have defeated the nations?" But thou shalt go down into hell, to the deepest part of the pit. ”
From this passage we can vaguely learn some basic facts: Satan was originally an angel, and the preeminent of angels, brighter than the stars, as bright as the morning star. But he was ambitious and arrogant, not only wanting to be above the angels, but even coveting the throne of God and wanting to take his place. So he waged war, and once "defeated the nations", and was extremely arrogant, but finally failed and fell into the world. ”
From the above account, we can conclude that Satan was originally an angel and the best among the angels, but he was ambitious and arrogant, not only wanted to be above the angels, but even coveted the throne of God, but in the end he failed and fell into the world. ”
After Xiaoyun finished telling the story of Satan the Devil, I couldn't help but sigh for him: This Satan the Devil is actually a very awesome character, he is naturally very bad, and he is the so-called negative character with sores on the top of his head and pus under his feet, but this person is extremely bad, but he has also become a character.
This reminds me of a sentence that I don't know what a famous person said, even if a person is extremely bad, but he has achieved a career, and after becoming a so-called successful person, someone kneels down to worship you, it seems that this devil Satan, the leader of the fallen angels, has reached such a state.
Xiaoyun is obviously Chinese, and when he died, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and now the ghost age has not exceeded two years, but he knows so much about Christianity and Satan the Devil, I can only express my admiration for her erudition, "Xiaoyun, how do you know so much about this Christianity and Satan the Devil? You are only 14 years old, speaking of which I am 23 years old, but there is almost a blank for this knowledge, Xiaoyun, you are so talented!"
Xiaoyun smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I know these because my parents, both are devout Christians, and they let me know about this since I was a child, so naturally I know this." ”
It dawned on me that Xiaoyun's stories and legends about Christianity and Satan the Devil could be told like a few treasures, and it turned out that her knowledge came from her parents!
"What is the Shura Road, and what does this road have to do with Satan the Devil?", I finally turned the topic back to the so-called Shura Road in front of me, after all, time is limited now, and we must crack this two-way soul ladder with almost no end in length in just two hours.
Xiaoyun continued to explain the Shura Road to me, "The Shura Road is just a legend, and there is no record of this road in Christian literature. Legend has it that after the devil Satan fell into the world, at the beginning, he was afraid that if he continued to do evil, he would be hunted down by God, so he was very self-cultivated and honest for a while. Therefore, God did not kill him completely, but left him a way to live. But as the saying goes, dogs can't change and eat, evil people are evil after all, and after the devil Satan has been honest for more than 200 years, he has begun to do evil and harm the world. ”
"On one occasion, Satan summoned his demons to counsel about how to make humanity abandon their efforts and thus destroy humanity's hopes.
Some devils say, "If we sow disease on earth, then human beings will be too busy to take care of themselves, and mankind will fall into despair."
Some devils say: We tell human beings that their efforts are ineffective, and they have no control over their own destiny at all.
There is also the devil who says: We put more evil on the earth, such as treachery, meanness, and jealousy, so that human beings can kill each other.
......
Satan says that none of your proposals will work, because humanity has become numb to them. In fact, it is very easy to play tricks and dominate human beings, as long as they are kept in fear at all times, and they will obey our rule! And the most terrifying thing for human beings and even all living beings is undoubtedly death! So as long as those who dare to resist and target us are subject to a cruel death sentence, we can deter other people who are on the sidelines!"
"So at Satan's suggestion, the Shura Road became a place where the devils brutally executed those humans who dared to resist and target them, and after so many years of killing, a road dozens of kilometers long and composed entirely of human bones was formed, which is also the legendary Shura Road!"
Xiaoyun finally finished talking about the origin of the Shura Road, and she finally said: "I can only say that this road is very similar to the Shura Road, but I can't judge whether this road is the Shura Road or not." ”
