Chapter 95 Calling Sinners to Repent
Brother Jesus can give universal and infinite love to the world. Whether they are sinners, tax collectors, or prostitutes, as long as they are the people of the Father, Brother Jesus will do his best to influence them.
While walking in Jerusalem, Jesus, the heavenly brother, declared: "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
He viewed his kindness to sinners as the Heavenly Father's attitude toward sinners, which deeply dissatisfied those Pharisees.
Regarding these views of Jesus, Gallis agreed with them in theory, but in practice he adapted them to the times and local conditions.
Theoretically, I agree because simply drawing pictures cannot solve the root of the problem. It only solves the person who caused the problem and will cause new problems.
And if it is even more outrageous, it can even develop to the point where the person who points out the problem is solved, as if no one points out the problem and the problem does not exist.
Therefore, we must always persist in treating illnesses and saving lives.
Regarding Brother Tian's other point of view, Garris deeply agrees.
[Because sin is so common, those who think they do not need salvation have become blind who cannot see themselves. 】
This passage simply means: Because the world is so bad, many people have given up on themselves.
For people living in the old society, the world is a quagmire, and they are trapped in it. If they do not steal, rob, resist, break the law, and commit crimes in the eyes of the world, then they are alive. Not going down.
In the old society, many people just couldn't live in an upright and peaceful manner just by relying on their own efforts. They had to choose to eat or be eaten in a cannibalistic society...
If you don't live lowly, you won't be able to survive at all.
For such people, even Gareth is unwilling to stand on the moral high ground and point fingers, because they have no choice.
For such people, Garris will give them a chance to choose. As long as they are willing to take the right path and repent and atone for their sins, they can live uprightly after completing their torture.
When spiritual repentance and atonement in action are completed together, not only will the Father in heaven forgive that person's sins, but the king on earth will also regard him as a sinless person.
This is redemption, calling sinners to repentance.
However, for another group of people, Garris could not be so kind.
Because they had a choice, but they still insisted on going their own way without any shame. They feasted on the flesh and blood of the people, took pride in it, and regarded it as the right way to survive.
Perhaps the Father in heaven and the Christ who came to earth can forgive their sins after they repent.
But as the son of man, Gareth could not forgive these people for the blood crimes they committed in the mortal world.
In short, it is Jesus' job to forgive sinners, and it is Garris's job to send those people to Jesus.
"I can't bear it anymore! Simon, help me prepare a carriage in two days. I'm going to talk to Leonard."
"My brother once said: "Don't resist evil people, and if someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other side to him too."
"But he is him and I am me. He can influence evil people and make them repent, but I can't. In my opinion, if the sword is not placed on the necks of those sinners, how can they know how to commit crimes in the world? , not only will you go to hell after death, but you will also have retribution in this life!”
Listening to Gareth's words, Isabel became excited.
"Are you going to chop Leonard up? When are you leaving? Take me with you!" Garris, who was leaning on the bed, smacked his lips. How could Isabel be more anxious than him?
"Don't worry, now is not the time to chop up that old guy. I just want him to give up some ideas and collect some interest on the way."
As far as the current plan and route are concerned, Garris will not gain much if he directly chops Leonard.
This is because currently, Garris does not have enough talents under his command to take over Leonard's territory. If you act rashly, you will easily fall into hostility with the entire Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Long-term war friction will interrupt the current trend of steady development of the sect, leaving Garris and others in a state of exhaustion.
You must know that simply killing the noble lords will not bring about a change in order, but will instead cause the original order to collapse.
When we are unable to take over too much land, when our ideas have not spread and are not recognized by the majority of the people, rashly breaking the original order will only push the people into an even more tragic abyss.
Hegelis made a request to himself and the Order: Not only are we good at destroying an old world, we will also be good at building a new world.
Garris continued: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't prevent a thief for a thousand days. If we are always worried about Leonard attacking us, our development will inevitably bear a heavy burden."
"It is too passive to expect Leonard to take the initiative to recognize the current situation and send people to negotiate peace with us."
"This time I went to see Leonard, mainly because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and make him give up the idea of continuing to use force against us."
Simon frowned when he heard what Garris said. He didn't quite understand.
"Prophet? Are you going to talk to Leonard? Is he the kind of person who can communicate well? After all, that guy seems to be no different from a madman"
Regarding Simon's doubts, Gareth's answer was: "Leonard is actually a very easy-to-get-together person, but most people don't know how to talk to him."
John understood the meaning of Garris's words, patted Simon on the shoulder, and said for Garris: "The reason why most bastards have difficulty communicating is simply because there is a sword blade missing from the edge of their necks."
"The purpose of the Holy Son going to see Leonard is to make him understand that if he continues to struggle with us, he will go to hell before he can fulfill his ambition."
"It is true that Leonard is a lunatic who doesn't care about his own life, but as long as he still has his own ambition and hopes to insert a cross into Karl's white room, there is still the possibility of communication."
Garris nodded slightly, what John said was what he was thinking.
Of course, in addition to asking Leonard to give up the armed hostility with Garris and the others, Garris also planned to collect some interest in advance.
Nowadays, the villages and towns that originally belonged to the Ahmed tax concession area have been successfully connected, so the next step is to expand to the surrounding areas.
If interest is not collected in advance, the development of the sect will soon reach a bottleneck. Autumn plowing is about to begin, and there is not much time left before next year's war breaks out.
Garris must race against time to develop a base and accumulate capital to survive next year's troubled times.
After telling his next plan, Garris sighed again.
The air conditioner in the company was broken, so I did all the work after get off work. Due to time constraints, the quality was not satisfactory. :-(
The second update is before twelve o'clock.
