This immediately made the merchant come to see him. When he saw that they were two young men, he immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, the gate of heaven has been open to me for a long time. What do you think this is?"

He left one behind despised, and it was a gold badge, with the word "pardon" on the other hand. He said proudly: "Look, in the name of God and the good deeds of the churches of all generations, I have forgiven my sins - this is gold, and all my family have forgiven me."

"How can the church have the right to forgive sins? Only God can forgive..." Cliff finally couldn't bear it, and this sentence came out of his heart.

"What, you dare to blaspheme the church, it's blasphemy. I want to accuse you to the religious court!" The merchant immediately jumped out, as if he was a saint.

"Stop saying it." Franno quickly grabbed his friend. The church knew about this. Even if he did not deprive him of his priesthood, he would be punished.

The church will kill pastors who have not lost their grace according to their needs. This behavior will not be condemned by God - just like a sentence in the past, for the needs of war, once issued a command to slaughter the unidentified believers: "Even if you kill them all, let God tell who is its people."

For God, the life and death of mortals are not important at all. God also understands that living and developing on earth naturally must follow the rules of the earth - God does not need money, the church needs it, God does not need power on earth, and the church needs it.

In order to consolidate its interests and status as a church, killing some disobedient and unaware of the current affairs, even stolen, is the most common practice - just as in national politics, the people killed are not all real traitors.

Cliff wanted to say something, Franno quickly leaned over to his ear and said, "Nancy Kierans!"

This name was immediately poured down like a basin of cold water.

When the church learns to survive in the world, it naturally begins to gradually become degenerate in the eyes of many believers. Therefore, in fact, there have been too many protests from devout believers for thousands of years.

Eight hundred years ago, some people suggested that believers participate in church affairs, advocate the Holy Spirit and Spiritual Grace, and encourage believers to abandon extravagant life.

Six hundred years ago, the people who opposed the church's splitting the empire were very popular, but they were regarded as heresy by the Holy See, removed from office, changed their posts and conquered them.

Two hundred years ago, Nancy Kierans was a bishop of a diocese. He was convicted by the pope and was sentenced to stolen from the gods for his harsh accusation that the sale of indulgences was abominable act of violating the sacred scriptures. He was convicted of the Pope and was sentenced to stolen. He did not lose his grace at the time of death, but he was still killed without hesitation.

The other party also seemed to see something, knowing that there were students from the seminary nearby, so he also pulled his friends and said that he should not say more. The businessman hummed and asked him to apologize.

Cliff blushed and refused to apologize, but got up and stopped talking. He went out. The businessman also scolded him and sat down to have dinner after being persuaded by others.

"Cliff, don't think too much. You're about to graduate. If you're assigned to be an associate pastor, you will also receive a very high salary and subsidy from the church." Friend Franno chased after him and patted him on the shoulder.

Cliff forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, I want to go there casually."

My friend Franno had a tutoring course in the afternoon and cherished this job. Moreover, the other party was a jazz. Although he was not a very noble noble, he had money. If he could combine and support each other, he might be able to win-win and gain a better opportunity. So he thought about it and said, "Okay, I will come to you later."

Cliff was even more disappointed. He forced himself to smile again and said, "It's okay, you go!"

When his friend left, he was deeply upset, so he wandered on the streets - at this time, the city of Kaidore was also an emerging autonomous city, with a short history but full of vitality.

On the streets, there were carriages coming and going, and all kinds of goods were transported to various stores or warehouses, including wool, carpets, glass, etc.

Citizens are full of communication in the streets, and no one noticed this young man.

From time to time, wealthy businessmen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat proudly in the carriage. Any item of goods in their carriage could exceed three times the cost of Cliff's monthly living expenses!

On both sides of the street, all kinds of shops have exquisite lacquerware signs and luxurious decorations that even make Cliff feel that his clothes are extremely shabby.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, and valuable goods, he remembered the process of begging, and anger rushed up. He clenched his fists and endured the pain in his heart.

"Oh, city! How did you learn to intoxicate and upset human souls? Within your walls, erotic snares, evil traps, arrows of hell, to depravity of pure and flawless hearts..." He whispered: "O God, please punish these evil people, throw them into hell until they are burned!"

For this young man, the faith of the God of Light is the highest existence and the only light in the dark world. Therefore, he often implicates his mind in the holy scriptures. However, today, although he prayed several times, his mind has not yet calmed down.

The sharp contrast and the arrogant words of the merchant deeply hurt his heart, making him unable to suppress his pain. He walked on the street until he saw a small altar.

In a city, of course, it is impossible to have only one temple. In fact, there are temples and altars of all sizes everywhere to provide prayers to believers - this is also a small altar.

Although it is a small altar, it can accommodate hundreds of people to pray together. At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the altar, and a pastor inside was preaching, which was to explain the content of the sacred texts.

This priest is a level 1 priest. Cliff went in a daze and found a seat to sit down and listened.

After listening to a few words, Cliff did not continue to listen because the content of the sermon was "a ray of light can prove God's omnipresence." To be honest, this story has long been too familiar and has no new meaning at all.

But this pastor was very eloquent, and when he spoke, he was vaguely in harmony with the holy light behind him, which brought in inflammatory behavior, so some believers were very moved to hear it!

After a moment, all the believers praised the Lord loudly together, and he followed in a daze. The chants were already sang very well, so even if they didn't care, they would close them.

Combining the hymn, Cliff lowered his head. His faith in the God of Light was not shaken, but the pain just now spread again, and the singing brought his memories again and again.

Fighting, begging, indifferent, cold, he couldn't even bear it, and prayed in a low voice: "God, behold, your glory is defiled, those who use money to open the door, use money to determine the holy goods, and use money to pollute the righteous faith."

The pain in his heart was so painful that he was in a trance. Suddenly, he heard a sentence, which immediately made him shudder.

"God said, the righteous will be born by faith!"

This is an ordinary sentence. Cliff has read it many times, but it has not been like now, which has brought him a huge shock.

"Yes, God has made righteous men a king and a pastor, and has given the grace of forgiveness to men. What we cannot rely on is God, only God's Word, not the secular church."

He murmured, and at this moment, he felt that his faith immediately became firm, and he even felt that he had arrived in God's paradise.

He ran out like a madman, and for a moment, the movements he made interrupted the singing of poetry.

Everyone on the altar was very indignant and looked at him fiercely with contempt. Unfortunately, Cliff was completely unaware of it while thinking. His thoughts became clearer and clearer. Finally, four words "Just justified by faith" were condensed!

When the four words "justified by faith" were so clear that he even felt unparalleled ecstasy, and he said to himself: "Oh, I feel that I have been reborn, passed through the open door and entered the kingdom of God."

Then he ran towards his dormitory desperately. Due to his pious faith, he even felt that the holy power he had obtained was much pure. He urgently needed to record his thoughts and find his friends to pour out his joy.

Across the distance, the group was looking at him, and then someone asked, "The seminary debate is about to begin again?"

"Yes, sir, it's about to start."

"Then are our preparations ready?"

"Sir, it has been completed. The two newspapers in this city, twenty-three newspapers in nearby cities, and printing workshops are all ready. The thirteen candidates we focus on. As long as one of them can make enough remarks, we can spread these remarks throughout the county within two days, across the country within two weeks, and across the mainland within two months."
Chapter completed!
