The two went all the way to the Niangniang Temple, Guo Kang asked Guo Ponu to find Lama Wang, and he went to Father Mikhail and others.

He went downstairs and found a group of Father Ross already there, and Father Mark was there, discussing something with them. Guo Kang then stepped forward and greeted everyone.

Father Mikhail helped him introduce to the crowd, everyone greeted each other, Guo Kang gave the document in his hand to Father Marco and asked him to take it for registration.

Father Ross looked at him either curiously or with concern. Guo Kang felt that he still needed to speak up and explain the importance of this matter to everyone.

He glanced around at everyone and said, "There is something important today, and I have to urgently gather everyone. I believe that Father Mikhail has already explained the general situation, right? ”

Everyone nodded.

"Originally, I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, this kind of civil case, not to mention every day, happens from time to time. Guo Kang shook his head and said: "If you only look at the matter itself, it should be the lack of executive ability of the government, which has caused criminals to wreak havoc everywhere and infringe on the people." It's okay to issue documents and supervise the division to deal with it, and you don't need all of us to join in the fun. ”

But in the end, I agree with Father Mikhail. This time, we're just going to take care of it. ”

"In my hometown of Seris, more than 3,000 years ago, there was a king named Xia Ji. Xia Wei was mediocre and abused the people, and the people were lazy and unwilling to support him. A minister told Xia Wei that his rule was in danger. Xia Wei didn't think so. ”

"The monarch of that time compared himself to the sun god. Xia Wei therefore retorted that he was the sun, how could the sun perish? ”

"When the news of this incident reached the people, the people were so angry that they said, 'When will the sun die?' I'm willing to die with it.'" And Xia Wei's rule was finally overthrown by the merchants. ”

"We are not gods." He said seriously: "Even the beings who used to be called gods have now been pushed down from the gods, and here in Greece, there are relics of that time everywhere. How can we, mortals, think that our power can last forever? ”

"In the same way, God's gifts are not eternal." He moved on to the next topic.

"The last king of the Shang was called King Zhou, and during the reign of King Zhou, the princes of Zhou attacked the Shang state's important place in the west, the state of Li. The minister Zoe was very panicked and hurriedly reported to the king. ”

"Zoe warned that the king was keen on immorality and frolic, and the people were very dissatisfied, and they all hoped that the Shang dynasty would soon perish, and they all said, 'Why hasn't Heaven punished you?' The king has cut himself off from heaven, and now heaven has forsaken us. We went to divination, but there was no good luck; Pray to our ancestors, but they don't want to help us. How is the king good now? ”

But the king said, "I was born to be a king, and my destiny has been decided by heaven, so what can my subjects do to me?" So he didn't take Zoey's words seriously. ”

Zoey then sighed and said, "You have made too many mistakes, and God already knows about them, so where can you expect His protection?" The Shang Dynasty is probably going to fall. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Shang Dynasty to be defeated by the Zhou army. ”

"It's all two or three thousand years ago." Guo Kang said to the people who were still reminiscing: "Whether it is the Xia Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty, it was a long time ago. Not only have they long since perished, but the dynasty that replaced them in the first place has also been destroyed for thousands of years, and there have been many times since then. ”

"At that time, people did not know what to call the Father, so they used the word 'heaven' and the like. However, the matter itself is exactly the same as it is now. ”

"Our nobles and princes here are especially fond of saying that their authority is given by their Heavenly Father. But their power is far less powerful than that of the Ceris monarch, and their bloodline is not as ancient and pure as the ancient nobles, and their family's achievements are not as good as Dayu and others who disposed of the ancient flood. ”

As a result, the ancient nobles of Seris are still in decline, almost scattered more than a thousand years ago. The various dynasties of Seris, one after another, have changed so much. So who does Heavenly Father care about? ”

None of the priests could answer – of course, this was what Guo Kang expected. After all, the problem is indeed too much for the Rus......

Not to mention the change of dynasty, even the divine authority of the monarch is actually not very smooth. This kind of question would have to be pondered by Greek theologians, let alone them.

Therefore, Guo Kang directly reported the answer.

"We've been through so much history that we've been able to draw conclusions." He told the people, "It's very simple, Heavenly Father doesn't care about anyone. ”

"God is transcendent, He loves the world, but this love is universal and equal. When it comes to a certain person or a certain regime, God is extremely just, even ruthless. He said:

"I think you should know that my own family is one of the pillars of Rome. Therefore, I need to understand this truth even more. Today, I just want to tell you about it. ”

"Will Heavenly Father bless a person directly without looking at his performance?" He asked.

"Of course not." The priests replied.

- This answer may be able to infuriate future generations of Protestants, but at present, the doctrine of Orthodoxy is true. They do not recognize the concept of "once chosen, always chosen", believing that if they sin too much, those who have received the favor of the gods will also incur the wrath of the Father and throw away the favor. Therefore, it is also easy to accept Guo Kang's rhetoric.

"That's true." Guo Kang nodded and took advantage of the situation to say.

"We ourselves are no different in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Rome has changed dynasties, and I don't know how many times, and there have been many times when it has faced serious crises, and even on the verge of collapse and extinction. Think about it, if Heavenly Father really has been favoring anyone, would that still be the case? ”

"There is also a fable about Seris, which says that the fungus that dies in the twilight of life does not know the existence of a day; Bugs that are born in spring and die in summer, do not know how to change from year to year. Ethnic groups with too short histories also have no concept of the rise and fall of civilizations. There are so many people around us who really feel that they are in God's favor and will continue to do so, but I can only say that this attitude is similar to these fungi and insects. ”

"But we're different. We have to be sober, we can't be like them. ”

"So what are you going to do?" In the crowd, someone asked.

"We have to do justice to ordinary people, or we — whether secular officials or shepherds of the church — will be resented by them and abandoned by our Heavenly Father." Guo Kang said: "We have to avenge these people who have suffered injustice. ”

The starting point is 12:00 every day, and you have to make up a thousand to count, which is annoying. Especially as an amateur writer, I mainly rely on coding words every night, and I often can't keep up.

Actually, it's better to settle at 4 a.m. next door, but unfortunately I can't manage this......

If the whole thousand is not enough, I will just lie flat that day; If it's a few hundred words, I'll fill in the word count first, and then replace it with the main text.

In fact, this has been done for a long time, but every time someone mentions it, so I will talk about it specifically. Please understand that there is any inconvenience.

At the end of the day, four thousand a day is too scary......
