Throne of Magical Arcana

"I heard that the bishop preached that God loves the world, regardless of each other, and whether the believers are in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, not their identity, whether they are magicians or vampires, as long as they sincerely believe in God , Believing in God from the heart, and showing behaviors consistent with their beliefs, then they are pious and redeemable righteous people. "Lucian ignored Richard's consternation, but like a scholar Talk casually and seek guidance.

Lucien did not completely follow the content of "justification by faith" in the Soul Library, because the truth religion and the crucifixion on the earth only have the similarities in some places, and they are not the same religion. The interpretation of “justification” is based on the incarnation of the savior and the salvation of the world. There is no such “miracle” in the Shinto religion, and there is no such savior. The indiscriminate application will only make Richard laugh his teeth.

Therefore, Lucien diverged the content of "justification by faith" into the more general religious law.

Hearing Lucien ’s question, Richard gradually contained his surprise, and initially suspected that it was the devil ’s temptation or the magician ’s lobbying, and there was a kind smile on his face: “So tell us that honest people are not afraid, he When he is promoted to the holy place, the benevolent person is not afraid, he will ascend to the mountain of heaven, and the righteous person is not afraid, he will be favored ... "

This is the content of the previous verse in the Holy Book. Richard recite it and said: "If the magician or vampire can believe in the Lord from the heart, what he has done is strictly in accordance with his own beliefs. Then, he must be pious, a righteous person who will be redeemed. There are many examples of this in the night watch team of the Church Tribunal, and other magicians and dark creatures. What do they do in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures? "

"Bishop Richard, you are talking about ancient magicians. They are cruel, crazy, bloody. They are indeed unrighteous and cannot be redeemed, but what about modern magicians? Most of them abide by the laws of the kingdom, no Luxury, not indulging, yearning for beautiful things, what do they do not conform to the teachings of the Canon? "Lucian smiled.

Richard understands that the young man on the opposite side is not referring to the bloody battle mage, but the arcanist who is dedicated to the experiment. Even if they accept the task, they basically destroy the demons, demons, and dark creatures, obtain resources, and explore. Dangerous areas and so on, so instead of refuting from the loophole of this sentence, but seriously said: "They are doing blasphemy every day, and they are full of lies in dealing with the church."

"The blasphemy of the Lord? Is it to study the mystery of things?" Lucien pointed to the sky and said, "There are scriptures in the Holy Book that can't explore the world? Has God warned the world not to approach his realm?"

Richard looked back carefully and found that there is really no relevant content in the "Sacred Books", only the Lord's refutation and warning of hypocrites, disturbing believers, evil people, and bloody people, not specifically that the exploration of the world will desecrate the spirits. Majesty.

Lucien had also been a disciple of God El for some time. He had read the doctrine of the Holy Scripture several times. Francis also had books in the Soul Library for reference. Naturally, he understood that this relatively simple book of Holy Scripture The core book does not have this content. After all, when it was written, the Magic Council could not find the shadow, and Douglas should be only at the intermediate level, and had not yet put forward the concept of exploring the world.

Therefore, in the Holy Scripture, there is only a clear opposition to the evil bloody human experiment, thinking that humans should not explore the restricted area of ​​life, and many arcanists are simply not good at the necromantic field.

After holding for a few minutes, Richard said: "He said, don't get close to me, don't face me ... This means that mortals can't get close to gods."

Lucian underestimated the clergy's interpretation of the classics. They can always interpret different meanings from one sentence at a time, and for a moment they didn't know how to lead the topic in the direction they preset.

Fortunately, Richard, an old man with traces of years on his face, went on to say: "And" The Canon "clearly stipulates that no mortal should attempt to enter the restricted area of ​​the gods."

"" The Canon "? It is not what God said, but it was formed by successive revisions of the Pope and some clerics. Is it authoritative?" Lucien relaxed a little, and this was exactly the conversation he wanted. direction.

Richard frowned: "The Pope is the sole spokesperson designated by the Lord, and what he said represents the majesty of the Lord."

"The Church of the North does not think so." Lucien raised the doctrine of the Church of the North. He was very grateful for the great division of Truth and the "artillery shells" provided by different factions inside. Otherwise, he would be a half-hanging guy. The true theologian debate of Chad is self-seeking, and Lucien ’s original intention is not to debate the teachings, but to “help” Richard to sort out his own ideas, which is the content of psychological guidance in the Department of Illusion!

The refutation of the northern church has been the research focus of the southern church for hundreds of years. Richard naturally quoted the rebuttal of the scriptures without exception, and a lot of them were scattered. He heard Lucien ’s head swell and concentrated on waiting for him "that sentence" Appearance.

"... All lambs will be redeemed through the baptism, prayer and ritual of the church, and through the guidance, unraveling, and help of the shepherd, and the head of the shepherd is my will ..." Richard skillfully translated this paragraph The words that established the Pope's identity were said.

Lucian's eyes lit up and immediately interrupted Richard's words: "So, we can't be justified by faith? Even if the faith in our hearts is pious, what we do and the teachings of the Holy Scriptures must pass through the church, Through the clergy, through the pope can we be redeemed? "

This is a question that Richard himself has been arguing for many years. He was so naked that he didn't know how to answer it.

"God loves the world, but shepherds more? God loves the world, but he is not willing to communicate directly with everyone's soul? When praying, is there a difference in the dignity of the gods at home and in the church? I am given divine power, Must it be under the guidance of the clergy? "Lucien seized the opportunity and exploded a series of questions.

Richard wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that there were many talented priests and bishops who accidentally obtained divine magic when they were praying with their parents or reading "The Holy Book" when they were young, and did not pass through the monastery and The clerics guided, so they fell silent.

Lucien is now a "battle style" with a one-click strike. Seeing Richard's thinking is even more confusing, he asks loudly:

"The pope is the spokesperson of God on earth, so why do I repeatedly interpret the Holy Code? Amend the Holy Code repeatedly?"

"Since God doesn't allow mortals to explore the world, why modify theology and theology based on the Arcanist's achievements in exploring the world?"

This is the source of Richard's confusion in the past two or three decades, and he began to advocate "God loves the world." Although he slandered to revise the "Pedagogy", it is indispensable to the "credit" of your magician, but he opened his mouth but did not know what How to refute.

"So, I think that both the pope and the church impose obstacles between believers and God for personal power and desire. No matter whether they can obtain divine art, they should all be equal in the presence of the Lord, and the same will happen because of what they do. Fall into hell for not conforming to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. "

"Those who require cumbersome rituals, worship the church, and believers must pass through the clergy are hypocrites who try to hinder 'God loves the world'."

"Those who frequently revise the textbook according to their own intentions and interpret the" Sacred Books "at will are necessarily lurking devils."

Before Richard responded, Lucien shouted:

"Those clergymen who say 'faith, faith' to believers, but desecrate themselves by faith, get away!"

"Those who say to the believers," God loves the world, and God loves the world ", but try to monopolize the soul close to the path of the spirit, say goodbye!

"There should be no artificial obstruction between believers and the Lord, only faith and actions that match faith!"

Richard looked straight at Lucien. He said everything he wanted to say but he didn't dare to say, and it was more detailed, clearer, and more radical!

After Lucien finished speaking, staring at Richard didn't speak again.

After a long time, Richard smiled bitterly: "The clerics' rights should indeed be regulated. The Lord gave them the magic technique not to let them stand on the heads of believers, but to let them protect the believers and guard the faith.

Upon hearing this, Lucien suddenly smiled.

…………

When the mist disappeared, Richard opened his eyes and found that he was still praying in front of the cross, so he sighed in his heart: "It is a fallen morning star ..."

Outside the church, Avris stared at two translucent amber eyes and said, "Lucien, you convinced him? I remember many people have failed before!"

"It's not that I persuaded him, that he persuaded himself. If he didn't have a similar bud in his heart, even if he fell into a contradictory situation under my language trap, he would quickly find a reason to explain it. He is a theologian, I ’m not. ”Lucian did n’t have any complacent emotions.“ Do you think that my superficial theological knowledge alone can debate and win a real theologian? I just instilled an idea into him, if it could cause his Resonate, then you can convince him, if not, I have no other choice. "

Avris did not understand the truth: "In short, you are great!"

"That's not true, mainly because of the combination of psychological guidance and understanding of the development of theology. In other words, among the lobbyists, I am the one who is the best at psychological guidance in the field of illusion and understands theology. Those who are good at psychological guidance are indispensable for both. "Lucien chuckled, and most importantly, with the Soul Library as a backing.

After observing Richard's situation for a while, I can recommend it to Natasha after confirming that there is no problem. Lucian finally relaxed a bit, just to greet Avris to leave, and suddenly felt a touch of dangerous breath.

Is there a strong man coming to the "Redemption Church"?
