Chapter 77
Either Yahweh or Jehovah, his image is almost polarized in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Although Yahweh also has love and mercy in the Old Testament, it is obviously not the main theme in the Old Testament.
The image of the four-letter name YHWH in the Old Testament is multifaceted.
According to the descriptions in the Old Testament, their characteristics and names can be roughly classified into the following.
The God of Creation, the Most High God, the savior of Israel and the God of the covenant, the God of justice and judgment, the God of love and mercy, the God of war, the God of secrecy and holiness, the God of mercy and salvation for the world.
In describing God, Gallis did not use gnosticism or Gnosticism to directly describe the cruel Yahweh in the Old Testament as Damio.
Instead, he chose to directly annotate me with the Six Classics. Since [righteousness and judgment] are emphasized in the Old Testament, the basis for his sermons and preaching is also there.
However, although it is said: Every time the wicked are arrogant in the world, they show that the Father is merciful and soft-hearted.
But Garris will pay attention to the procedures that should be followed, the trials that should be carried out, and the corresponding humanistic care.
For example, after finishing his impromptu sermon, Garris went back to his room, picked up a list, and reviewed the men's sins again.
To be honest, this is a rather troublesome matter, because in the year 1186, there was no consensus in the Mediterranean circle that a country should have unified legal provisions.
At this time, Garris couldn't help but lament that the old Franks were really useless in terms of statutory law and legal application.
Let’s not talk about mainland Europe, let’s talk about the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which is the country where Gairis is located.
In the 87 years since its establishment, it has never considered writing a set of laws that can be used nationwide and be known to the whole country.
In fact, different groups of people have different laws.
Theoretically, the Kingdom of Jerusalem has a set of supreme legal provisions, but that set of legal provisions is locked in a box in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and only three people are qualified to open it...
Then the nobles in the kingdom have aristocratic courts, the citizens have civil courts, native Christians have native Christian courts, foreign Christians have foreign Christian courts, Italians have Italian courts, Arabs have Arab courts...
And it is obvious that the judicial principles followed by these courts are vastly different, if not far apart.
So that when it comes to sentencing prisoners, Garris needs to learn from Comrade Liu Bang and follow some of the most basic reciprocal retaliation in order to gain wider recognition.
However, Gehrys still tried his best to avoid certain punishments, such as blinding, chopping off hands, castration, etc.
For now, apart from the death penalty, the most preferred punishment for Garris is probably hard labor for a limited period of time.
If we want to excavate water conservancy and develop productivity, we are really short of manpower.
But Garris still told himself not to be too greedy for the dividends brought by hard labor.
Therefore, like the family of the herbalist and Monterey village chief, after experiencing a period of unpaid hard labor, they were transferred to paid labor. After a period of time, they will completely settle in Skaar Village.
And like the soldiers sent by Leonard, those who have no blood debt in their hands.
Although they are indeed being forced to work, they are paid some money. And he was also promised that when the rewards accumulated to a certain amount, he could redeem himself.
These unbloody men were just prisoners of war, not criminals.
Garris's segmentation is relatively clear in this regard.
Serious convictions are needed only for true sinners, like Ahmed, for example, soldiers who participated in looting, rape and massacre. Among them, the tax collector Ahmed and his eldest son were sentenced to death for crimes such as killing others, raping women, and robbing in the name of loan sharking.
However, based on some thoughts of humanistic care, Gairis decided to reunite the tax collector Ahmed's family for a while.
Of course, this does not mean that they should be reunited in the grave.
It is to allow the survivors of Ahmed's family to give Ahmed a lift. After all, Ahmed's children may not be completely innocent, but they are not guilty enough to die.
……
In the past month, Gairis asked Simon to lead people and escort Ahmed on a tour of several nearby villages.
This is mainly to collect evidence of the crimes committed by Ahmed, and also to show the surrounding villages that the guy who was tyrannical over you is now a prisoner.
Come here quickly, complain and take revenge! Come here quickly and add insult to injury!
Before this issue, Ahmed was able to quarrel with the farmers who accused him of his crimes at first. If the farmers cursed, he would reply twice.
However, as time went by, and after knowing that his life was short, he gradually became numb, accompanied by hysterical despair again and again.
What else in this world is worth remembering?
Ahmed was already confused.
However, on the last day of his life, Garris brought several people to his prison and severely awakened his sleeping soul.
"Yousef! Mus! Yasmeen!! Why are you here!"
In the reception room next to the cell, Ahmed watched two young boys and a young woman walk into the room under the leadership of Gairis.
Yousef and Mus are Ahmed's two youngest sons. They are young, only about seven or eight years old.
As for the young woman, she was the maid that Ahmed snatched not long ago.
These three people are the three closest to Ahmed now.
Ahmed was quite surprised when he learned that it was Garis who brought these three people to visit him.
He really didn't expect that Garris would be so kind-hearted!
Of course, Ahmed felt a little strange when he used the word "charity-hearted" to describe Gairis.
But no matter what, after these months and countless hysterical despairs, Ahmed finally accepted his fate.
In this quiet autumn afternoon, he stroked his children's hair, talked to his youngest wife, and enjoyed the last years of his life.
"Yasmeen! It's okay, take care of the children and live well. I was sorry for you in the past, but in the future..."
That's when Ahmed's true feelings came out.
Garris on the side felt a little strange, because Ahmed, the maid, seemed to express a rather embarrassing emotion.
At this moment, the door to the reception room was pushed open again, and Ahmed's eldest son Nabil walked in. As soon as he saw his father having sex with Yasmin, he wanted to leave the room.
The fourth update. Today I successfully exceeded my limit!
