Chapter 207: Start 8

In any case, the liberation of the Holy See Church from the shackles of the synagogue was a long and difficult task. The Jews who joined the Holy See regarded Jesus as the savior predicted by their ancient oracles and respected him.

As teachers of moral and religious prophets; but they stubbornly cling to the various rituals of their ancestors and try to impose them on the increasing number of non-Jewish believers. These Jews who joined the Holy See originated from the Mosaic commandments.

There is a certain degree of credibility in arguments based on the eternal perfection of God and his great Creator. They affirm, first, that if God, who remains unchanged throughout eternity, would have intended to cancel those who had contributed to

The sacred ceremony of distinguishing his chosen people among the people, he would cancel it with the same clarity and solemnity as when he first declared it; secondly, not only should he not repeatedly declare, or assume or affirm the teaching of Moses,

Religion has a permanent surname,

And it should be said to be a temporary plan that only applies to the period before the coming of the savior, who will teach mankind a more perfect faith and religion: thirdly, the savior himself and the people in the world

His disciples who interacted with him in the world should not only not set an example by themselves and follow the Mosaic commandments in a tedious manner, but should publicly announce to the world the abolition of those old and useless rituals. This would not lead to the Holy See and Judaism over the years

Will

Many sects are confusedly mixed together. Such arguments seem to have been used to defend the Mosaic commandments which are increasingly losing their reason for existence; but our learned clergy have taken pains to understand the vague words in the Old Testament.

A large number of explanations have been given to the statements and the obscure actions of the apostles. Here we shall gradually reveal the whole system of gospel doctrine, and render with great caution and tact a verdict which is incompatible with the inclinations and prejudices of Judaism.

When Mount Sion had restored the reputation and honor of the Church of Jerusalem, the charge of heresy and schism was laid upon the few remaining unknown Nazarenes who had refused to follow the Latin bishops. They remained

The old days in Pella

His residence gradually expanded to villages near Damascus, and a church with little influence was established in the city in Syria, now called Aleppo, which was then called Beroi. The name Nazarene was used

In those Jews who believe in the church,

Thought to be too noble, they soon received the pejorative title of Ebionite because of their perceived mental retardation and poverty. A few years after the restoration of the church in Jerusalem, a group of people who heartily acknowledged Jesus as the Savior continued to

pursue

Whether those who follow the Mosaic commandments also have hope of salvation has become a question that is suspicious and controversial. Justin the Martyr, because of his kind nature, answered this question in the affirmative; although he was very hesitant when he said this,

He still decided to pay for this incomplete

For the sake of the church members, they said that if they just practice the various rituals of Moses themselves, but do not think that it is generally used or necessary to promote it, they can still be saved. However, when someone asked Justin about the attitude of the church, he admitted that

Among orthodox Catholics,

There are many people who not only exclude those Jewish brothers from the hope of salvation, but also refuse to have contact with them in ordinary friendships, banquets and social life. It is logical to imagine that more intense opinions will be overwhelming.

Some milder views;

Therefore, between the followers of Moses and the believers of the Church, there always existed a gulf that separated the two groups. The unfortunate Ibionites were rejected as apostates by one religion, and by another.

Consider them heretics and reject them, which makes them

We saw that they had to take a clearer position; and thus, although some vestiges of this dying sect can still be found as late as the 4th century AD, it had actually been unconsciously dissolved into the Holy See.

But however great the differences of opinion between the Orthodox, Ebionites and Gnostics as to the divine nature or responsibility of the Mosaic commandments, they were all equally affected by an exclusive fanaticism and opposition.

The constant encouragement of the hatred of idolatry, which was what distinguished the Jews from other peoples in the ancient world. The one who combined polytheism with

The philosopher, who is generally regarded as the product of human deception and fallacy, can hide a contemptuous smile under a mask of piety without fear that such ridicule or compliance will make him

Hated by any kind of invisible or, according to his understanding, imaginary divine power. However, the establishment of paganism was more respectable in the eyes of the primitive papists.

Disgusting and terrifying. A common sentiment throughout the church and many heretical sects is that the devil is the creator and protector of idol worship, and is also the object of its worship. Those gods who cause trouble have lost their status as angels.

, were thrown into hell, but they can still wander around in the world, torture the bodies of sinful people, and confuse their minds. Devils are very

They soon discovered that the human heart is naturally inclined to believe in gods, and they tried their best to destroy it. They cleverly eliminated human beings' worship of their creator and usurped the status and honor of the supreme god. Due to the success of his evil plan, they immediately used

His vanity and desire for revenge were satisfied, and he got the only consolation he still longed for: the hope of making humanity better.

Various peoples were involved in their sins and miseries. It was openly stated, or at least generally assumed, that the Devil had divided among themselves some of the most important characters in polytheism: a man who bore the name of Jupiter and

Characteristically, another disguised himself as Aesculapius, a third became Venus, a fourth perhaps Apollo; and by virtue of their long

With their experience and temperament that comes and goes like the wind, they are fully capable of playing their roles with skill and solemnity. They lurk in temples, create various festivals and rituals, fabricate myths, issue oracles, and often

You can also perform some miracles. Some Catholics who are possessed by evil gods can immediately explain all absurd phenomena. They are happy and even eager to explain them.

He wished to believe the wildest tales of pagan mythology. But such a belief in a papal man was accompanied by horror, for he would regard the smallest respect shown for a national religion as a sign of disrespect.

It is an expression of direct worship of the devil, and it is a kind of festival and ritual, fabricating myths, issuing oracles, and often performing some miracles. Some people who are possessed by evil gods

The Papists were able to immediately explain all absurd phenomena, and they were happy and even eager to believe the most absurd stories in pagan mythology. However, this kind of belief of a Papist was accompanied by terror, because of the fear of a kind of

He would also regard the slightest respect shown by national religion as an expression of direct worship of the devil and an affront to the dignity of God.

Due to the existence of this opinion, it has become the first but difficult duty of a papal to keep himself pure and not stained by idolatry. The religion of various peoples is not simply in the schools.

An abstract creed followed or preached in a temple. The numerous gods and rituals of polytheism were relevant to all situations of work, entertainment, and public life.

Private life is so closely intertwined that it seems impossible to completely avoid connection with them without at the same time giving up all human intercourse, as well as all one's social duties and pleasures. The important questions concerning war and peace

A solemn ceremony must be held before or after any decision-making, and the chief executive, elders and soldiers must go to preside over or participate in the decision-making.

Add. Public scenes of celebration were an important part of the joyful worship activities of the pagans. The various competitions held by the emperor and the people to celebrate the special festivals of a certain god were regarded as a must for the gods.

The best sacrifice one would accept. A papal who, out of fear of God, shuns the loathsome arena or theater, finds himself in all

The joyful banquet is surrounded by terrible traps, because everywhere his friends are summoning the gods of mercy and pouring wine to bless each other. When a bride pretends to struggle and refuses to go out, she is forced to leave the house at the grand wedding.

As she crosses the threshold of her new home, or as a miserable funeral procession moves slowly toward the cremation pyre, a papal person is here

It was a very interesting occasion, but he was forced to leave his most beloved relatives and never wanted to be contaminated with the sins that those cult rituals would inevitably bring. Any technology or industry that has the slightest relationship with the making or decoration of idols would

sinful idolatry; this was a severe sentence because it would make it possible for society to engage in freelancing or handicrafts

Most of the people in the industry are trapped in eternal suffering. If we look at the many ancient ruins, we will realize that in addition to the direct representation of the gods and the sacred vessels used to worship him, the Greeks

They used their imagination to create beautiful images and moving stories to worship the gods. At first, they were all pagan houses.

, the most splendid decorations on clothes and furniture. Even the arts of music and painting, as well as the skills of eloquence and poetry, all come from the same non-divine source. In the writings of the priests, Apollo and the Muses are the mouthpieces of the hell spirits.

; Homer and Virgil were its most excellent servants; and the beauty that filled their works of genius and made them vivid and powerful

Myths are destined to only be used to praise the glorious achievements of the devil. Even the ordinary languages ​​​​of Greece and Rome are full of many familiar blasphemous terms. A careless Catholic may blurt out or hear them accidentally.

Don't care. A careless Catholic may blurt it out accidentally, or may hear it without caring.

These dangerous temptations, always lying in wait and ready to attack the unsuspecting believers, attack them with redoubled force during the solemn days. Throughout the year they are combined and deployed.

So ingenious was it that the superstitious activities often had the appearance of entertainment, and often had the appearance of benevolence. Some of the most sacred programs in Roman religious rites were for the purpose of celebration.

In the New Year, bless public and private life; mourn the dead and remember the living in front of God; determine the inviolable boundaries of property; pray to God to bless the harvest when spring returns; express support for the foundation of the city of Rome and the Republic.

The founding of these two momentous years will never be forgotten; and the restoration of primitive human equality during the orgies of Saturnalia. Through the Curia on far less alarming occasions

Judging from the hesitation and reserve they also showed, we can imagine how deeply they hated these blasphemous religious rituals. On ordinary festivals, according to custom, ancient people had to wait at their own door

It is decorated with lanterns and osmanthus branches, and a garland on the head. This harmless and elegant custom may have been tolerated as a folk tradition. However, it is very unfortunate that the door is in the house.

Under the protection of gods, cinnamon branches are sacred objects for worshipers of the laurel goddess, and although wreaths are often worn on the head as a symbol of joy or mourning, they were first used in superstitious rituals. On such issues, it is advised to

The trembling papists who obeyed the customs of their country and obeyed the orders of the chief executive were always worried, lest they be condemned by their own conscience, condemned by the church, and punished by being abandoned by God.

Such is the constant vigilance necessary to preserve the purity of the gospel doctrine, and to keep it uncontaminated by idolatry. Some of the old traditions in superstitious rites, performed in public or private, have been established.

Followers of certain religions, due to the influence of their education and habits, are still practicing them carelessly. However, whenever they are so

In doing so, they gave the papists an opportunity to publicly express and reaffirm their fierce opposition. Through such frequent protests, their fidelity to their faith was constantly strengthened;

As religious fanaticism increases, they will be able to fight the holy war against the Devil Empire with greater strength and achieve greater victory.

Therefore, since the most noble efforts that philosophy can make can only vaguely point out to people that people have a wish for a future world, a hope, or at most a possibility of its existence, then apart from divine revelation,

There is nothing to confirm the existence of the invisible world to which all souls who leave the body are said to go, and to describe its specific conditions. But we can see the folk religions of Greece and Rome.

Teach too

There are some inherent shortcomings that make it difficult to bear its own responsibility. 1. The whole system of their mythology has no solid and solid support; the wisest among the heathens have long since denied the authority it usurped. 2.

The description of hell has long been left to the imagination of painters and poets. They have placed many ghosts and demons in it, and the rewards and punishments imposed on them are so unfair that one of the most important things to the human heart is

The dear and serious truth has been suppressed and tainted by a bunch of messy fantasies. 3. The devout polytheists of Greece and Rome rarely regarded the doctrine of the afterlife as a basic creed. The will of the gods,

Insofar as it relates to public society rather than to private individuals, it appears mainly on the visible stage of the world. The wishes of people praying before the altar of Jupiter or Apollo clearly indicate what their worshipers want.

All I care about is

It is the happiness of this world, but they either know nothing about or have no interest in the life in the next life. The important truth about the immortality of the soul has been widely publicized in India, Assyria, Egypt and Gaul, and achieved certain success.

; but since we cannot ascribe this difference to the transcendent knowledge of the savages, we can only ascribe it to the influence of an established priesthood, who used moral motives as an impetus.

Tools of human ambition.

We may naturally think that for a principle so important to religion, God should have made it clear to the elects of Palestine in unambiguous terms long ago, or perhaps he has undoubtedly entrusted this matter to Asia.

When it comes to the immortality of the soul, we can only praise the mysterious arrangement of providence; on this issue, the prophets are cryptic; and in the long years from the slavery of the Egyptians to the slavery of the Babylonians, the hope and hope of the Jews

Fear always seems to be limited to the narrow confines of this worldly life

After Cyrus allowed this exiled people to return to the promised land, and after Ezra restored the ancient records of their religion, two famous sects arose quietly in Jerusalem, the Satanic

The Dugues and the Pharisees. The members of the former were mostly from the more noble and wealthy members of society.

They were wealthy people who strictly adhered to the express provisions of the Mosaic commandments and piously refused to acknowledge the immortality of the soul because the holy book which they regarded as the only rule of their faith did not affirm this statement. The Pharisees

In addition to the Bible, some authoritative traditional sayings of surnames have been added.

In the name of Christianity, some purely rational dogma of the philosophies or religions of some Eastern peoples were accepted. As a result, statements about fate or fatalism, angels and elves, and those who will be rewarded or punished after death were all included in the new

among the creeds of the Pharisees; and because of the serious attitude of the Pharisees, they had already

The body was incorporated into their sect, and the doctrine of the immortality of the soul thus became a prevailing sentiment in Judaism during the reigns of the Asmonean monarchs and high priests. Let the Jews, in order to satisfy the polytheists, content themselves with expressing a

Cold, emotionless consent is incompatible with their character.

and as soon as they admit the idea of ​​an afterlife, they embrace it with all the enthusiasm which has always been characteristic of their entire nation. However, their fanaticism adds no credible evidence to it, not even

Nor does it strengthen the possibility of its existence: therefore, this is natural

The doctrines of life and immortality which are approved by reason and accepted by superstition must still rely on the authority and example of the church to affirm their divine authenticity.

, still must rely on the authority and example of the church to affirm its divine authenticity.

Now it is proposed to mankind that as long as they accept the faith of the Evangelical Church and abide by its dogma, they are guaranteed to obtain eternal happiness. For such favorable conditions, there are many in various religions, classes, and provinces in the Roman Empire.

It is not surprising that so many people readily accepted it. The ancient papists, inspired by their disdain for earthly life, naturally believed in the immortality of the soul, and concerning this

The point is that the doubtful and incomplete beliefs of modern times cannot give us any adequate concept. In the primitive papal church, the influence of truth has a kind of influence worthy of our respect regardless of its practical value and ancientness, but it has nothing to do with actual experience.

However, the incompatible opinions were greatly strengthened. At that time, people generally believed that the end of the world and the kingdom of heaven were near. This wonderful event was about to happen in the predictions of the apostles.

It is said in the words, and that statement has been preserved by their earliest believers. Those who understand every word of the church's own words can't help but hope that when they have seen the church come into the world, and have not yet seen it,

Before the generation that bears witness to the sufferings of the Jews under Webster or Hadrian completely passes away, the "Son of Man" will appear for a second time in glory in the clouds. Seventeen centuries of

The Reformation has taught us not to dwell too closely upon mystical prophecies and revelations; but as long as this error is allowed to persist in the Church for wise purposes, it will have a most favorable influence on the faith and practice of the Curia, who will

Always looking forward to a new moment with great awe, when the entire earth and all races of mankind will tremble before their divine Judge.

The millennium theory that was widely popular among the people in ancient times is closely related to the second coming of the church. Since the work of creating the world was completed within 6 days, according to the traditional saying that is said to have originated from the prophet Elijah, these 6 days

Calculated according to the prescribed circumstances, the length of

We may know that this long period of labor and competition is now almost over, and will be followed by a thousand years of joy and rest; when the Church will bring with it a host of meritorious saints and a few who will escape death,

Or some people who were miraculously resurrected came to govern the world together until they were appointed to finally let people

The day when all mankind will be resurrected. This hope so overjoyed the believers that the New Jerusalem, the seat of the blessed heaven, was soon decorated with the liveliest colors imaginable. But

This kind of happiness, which is only pure spiritual joy, still seems to have the nature of human beings here.

It seemed too lofty for the residents of the Roman Empire. A Garden of Eden full of pastoral joys was no longer suitable for the advanced social life that had become prevalent in the Roman Empire. So a city made of gold and precious stones was built.

Lactantius, who was the master of Constantine's son, has been repeatedly stated in detail by generations of priests. Although this statement may not be universally accepted, it seems that among orthodox believers, it

is always the dominant thought; and it seems to be in perfect harmony with human hopes and fears.

Therefore, it must have promoted the development of the Holy See's faith to a great extent. However, when the huge structure of the Holy See was nearing completion, this temporary support was thrown aside. The argument that the church personally governs the world,

Initially regarded as a mysterious allegory, it gradually came to be regarded as a dubious and useless

This opinion was eventually abandoned as a ridiculous fabrication of heretics and religious fanatics. This is a mysterious prophecy that still forms part of sacred teachings, but it is also considered to be beneficial to those who have already
