Father Tobias, who was walking in the middle of the procession, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, closed his eyes, and calmed his heart, which should have been the most tormented at this time.

He doesn't like to talk much in the whole team, and it may have something to do with what he's been through. Usually except for being close to Alan and Moore, everyone else doesn't talk much.

In the team, Tobias is not the oldest, but he is not too young. Compared to Allen, Anne and Moore, he is a big brother, and of course he can see the subtle thoughts of these guys.

As their gaze shifted, it brought back memories of Father Tobias......

I remembered what it was like to be in the main shrine at that time: a professor on the pulpit during the day, and a beast in a brothel at night. Standing in front of people, he is known as the most holy, noble, and supreme position in the phantom spirit world, but he still can't escape the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, causing him to be very hypocritical.

If it weren't for the vigilance in the depths of his heart, he might still be living in that muddy and nightmarish situation today. Without the zeal to follow the Lord at the beginning, he is like a lost orphan at this time.

"Father Tobias, I have some questions for you!" Moore, who was walking in front of Alan and Anne, suddenly approached Father Tobias, looking at him longingly, looking for an answer.

Tobias was awakened by the sound in his ears, opened his tired eyes, looked at Moore with a smile, and said gently: "We are all brothers, there is nothing to ask for advice, what can help you, just say." ”

The priest's words brought the two of them closer together. Moore's eyes were moist, and he choked up and said, "Thank you... Thank you, Brother Divine, for your understanding..."

'Woo-'

"Brother Priest, it's still a matter for me and Betty. Moore wiped a handful of snot and tears and asked with tears in his eyes. Speaking of Betty again, Moore is not as sad as he was at the beginning. Obviously, he took a small step from the bottom of his heart.

When he experienced Betty's departure and death, and Moore suffered a severe blow to his mind, body, and spirit, Father Tobias comforted him in the words he could, but at first to no avail. Moore completely encloses himself in a corner and does not talk to anyone.

After a few days, it was discovered that Moore had changed slightly. Not only did I clean and dress up seriously, but I also began to be particularly interested in positive things.

Father Tobias did not dare to assert that his own comfort had the effect, but believed that it must have been the spirit of God that had worked in his heart to bring him out of the trough of his heart and regain the light of his new life.

Tobias stared at Moore's smiling face with solemn eyes, and said his innermost thoughts: "Brother Moore, maybe my words make you feel bad, but they are all from the bottom of your heart. I hope I hear something repulsive, and don't get angry. ”

"Hmm. Moore had come to seek answers, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"The topic of affection has not stopped since ancient times. There are wonderful love stories in ancient times, and there are also bleak and hopeless love tragedies. Countless people are exploring love, discussing love, pursuing love, and interpreting love, but in the end there is no standard answer. ”

"Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for love. Some people are willing to break with their families for the sake of love. Some people do not hesitate to be enemies of the world for the sake of love. But later people can't really judge whether this love is right or wrong. ”

"Before I believed in God, I was an orphan and grew up in a slum. saw the rich man's house wine and meat piercing the intestines, and understood the cruelty and ruthlessness of human nature. There was even a time when I wanted to end my life. ”

"When Bishop Theodore rescued me from the slums, I felt as if I had been favored by fate. All at once from darkness to light, from hell to heaven. It became a figurine in the main shrine and could have a warm place to live. ”

"As I grew older, I developed my own subjectivity and understanding. I stood out from the thousands of figurines in the Catholic Church and became an official priest, and I had a different understanding of the gods I knew. ”

"Realizing the infinite salvation of God, the marvelous love, the reversal of life, the awakening of the soul. I began to be enthusiastic about God, and I went around preaching His great love, hoping that more orphans like me, who were in the dark, could have the light of regeneration. ”

"I had been living in poverty, but slowly I began to become richer. I have served more and more in the main church of God, and my experience and experience have gradually increased. Bishop Theodore has made me even more important and wants me to take over his position as the sitting bishop of the Catholic Church. ”

"However, I fell. Father Tobias's gaze glanced at Moore, who was in shock, and continued to recount his past: "Don't look at me standing on the stage impassionedly, every once in a while I go to the largest brothel in Radiant City, Green Silk City. ”

Without taking into account Moore's surprised expression, Father Tobias continued earnestly: "In the eyes of the people, the priest, or the Divine Bishop, is the most sacred religion in the entire phantom world. However, he still could not escape the temptation of the lust of the flesh. Numerous priests, bishops, cardinals, and even popes have struggled to escape the erosion of desire. ”

"From the beginning, my inner voice told me that it was sin, that it was wrong. Yet I lost the emotion in my heart, ignoring the beating of my heart every time I sinned. Resolutely gave his body to the devil and became a slave to lust. ”

"Many times I tried to get out of that sin, but I found that I could not do anything on my own. Let the desires of the heart indulge the lusts of the flesh. Abusing his freedom, his heart is full of lust and he can't extricate himself. Feeling in the ocean of lust is not enjoyment, but the torture of body, mind and soul. ”

"Until I met Alan, I somehow wanted to leave the sin. Break off the relationship with the woman in the brothel, leave the cave of sin, leave the temple of sanctimoniousness, and resolutely embark on an adventure. At this point, Father Tobias stretched his waist and patted Moore on the shoulder very easily: "It was only later that I discovered why human feelings are so complicated, why they are tortured instead of enjoyment, and why they can't do what they want. Because of sin!"

"Because of sin, we can't get what our hearts want.

Because of sin, we have disowned our relationship with God.

Because of sin, we cannot break free from our own bondage.

Because of sin, humans and animals cannot live in harmony.

Because of sin, the environment has changed in four seasons, and there are differences in hot and cold.

Because of sin, human relationships are fickle.

Because of sin, wars do not cease.

All of this is caused by human sin. Because I have committed adultery, I have not been satisfied and enjoyed by lust in any way, and I am very miserable. And marriage is sacred, and a marriage that is not blessed by God in the temple, a love marriage that violates monogamy, will lead to unhappiness. ”

When Father Tobias said this, Moore was bitter. It was love at first sight with Moore, and with the slow contact, the two came together. Without the testimony of his parents, without receiving the blessings of God, he had a physical relationship, which led to the current ending.

"So, how can we change?" said Moore, staring at the ground in distraction, a longing question from within.

Father Tobias's eyelids furrowed, and his heart was filled with joy. He hurriedly said, "Because human beings are guilty, they have to bear the consequences of sin." The marriage is not happy, the family is not harmonious, the life is not satisfactory, the career is not smooth, and the soul has no home. Therefore, in order to show compassion for the weakness of human nature, God gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be the salvation of all mankind. Crucify yourself. As long as those who are willing to believe, they can be forgiven of their sins and their lives will be reborn and changed through Him. By constantly repenting of the sins of life, the soul will be tempered by fire at the second coming of the Son of God, and then it will enter eternal heaven. ”

"But how can He save us living people when he is dead?" a question arose in Moore's mind, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, blame me for not saying it completely. Father Tobias smiled and continued: "Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the only begotten Son of God, God, and only He can save all from sin. For we are all descendants of sinners, and He was born of the conception of a virgin. And He died, and on the third day He rose from the dead. ”

"How is that possible??" Moore looked Father Tobias in disbelief, trying to find a mistake in it.

Father Tobias, however, went on to say categorically: "He is resurrected! See His body with your own eyes and watch Him ascend to heaven on auspicious clouds. ”

"How can a man be resurrected from the dead?" Moore stared at Father Tobias in disbelief, shaking his head incessantly.

Father Tobias knew that many people could not break through this idea, even himself. Without forcing Moore to accept it, he said mildly: "Whether you believe it or not, this is an unchangeable fact. Well, there's only so much I can share with you, if you figure it out one day, you can come to me and discuss. ”

"Phew, old god stick, where are you talking again? "Not far away, 'Mainland Tong' Bivis smacked, apparently overhearing some conversation between the two. muttered in his mouth: "It's the 'god master' and 'god master' all day long, and it's not us who protects you when you fight." ”

Tobias had a keen ear, and he smiled calmly when he heard the laughter in the distance. In my heart, I thanked God for giving me this opportunity to preach the gospel, and at the same time forgave the foolish behavior of the 'mainland expert' Beavis.
