Chapter 207 The Growth of the Church

When the Ecumenical Conference was held in Zealand, it was to seek consensus.

In this "predestination theory" and "election theory", he has no intention of adjudicating which side is heresy and which side is orthodox.

Sealand sees the issue of free will behind the debate.

He couldn't answer such a question. In his opinion, no one in this world could answer this question.

In this case, no idea is the best answer.

Other than that, Zealand had no other choice.

Under the leadership of Xi Lan, the two factions in the New Law Garden put down their disputes. Xi Lan sorted out the consensus of the entire conference and asked the believers in the New Law Garden to sign it. Those who don't have a name will be handprinted on the papyrus instead.

The words downloaded on the papyrus are the consensus of the entire New Law Garden, so they are called the creed by the believers, which means the classics that are commonly recognized, or the classics that are trusted by all.

Sealand soon had the contents of the creed engraved on a new stele. Because it was inferior to the three Logosian histories, it was shorter in height than the three steles and stood in the hall. to the left, not the center.

After the meeting, the originally chaotic thoughts were unified again. Those famous believers such as Daniel began to organize sermon tours. The scope was no longer limited to the city of King Aga, but went deep into various city-states of the kingdom. , telling of the paths that the prophet norn walked.

Sealand has been presiding over the big and small affairs of the New Law Garden, including improving the basic rules and leading believers to pray together. This is a long and boring process, but Sealand persists with firm confidence.

The New Law Garden, founded by the Prophet, gradually grew into a huge church under the hands of Sealand. At the same time, because of its large-scale gathering and the nature of the gathering, people at that time called it the church.

The development of the church is thriving.

Due to the popularity of prophetic legends and the fervent preaching of the believers, the church gradually broke away from its original confinement and spread to the aristocratic class on a large scale from bottom to top.

Those nobles who are keen on pleasure only heard the legends of the prophets at the earliest time, but with the convening of the ecumenical conference, they became more curious about the church and the god behind the church, and with the large-scale conversion of the stone slaves under their command, The nobles, who were just curious at first, began to study the ancient myths of the elves.

In just three years, more and more nobles believed in the Lord. They lived under the same roof as the stone slaves. Under the altar of that faith, they sang and praised the same god. This was unimaginable in the past .

After all, the temple of Kagaus did not allow stone slaves with impure blood to offer sacrifices, and even some temples did not allow stone slaves to set foot.

Every morning, Xilan saw countless people kneeling and praying, and she couldn't help feeling proud. What she had done brought glory to God, and she was becoming more and more responsible day by day, following the lead of the prophet. The title of person.

"God, all peoples will sing praises to you."

His voice trembled slightly.

Under the influence of the church, the belief in the Creator has gradually deepened on the earth and spread widely. Even the barbaric orcs have more or less heard of the supreme god.

But for the priests who served Cargaus, the church that made Xilan and the believers proud has gradually become a problem that cannot be ignored.

At the beginning, when the priests who obeyed the precepts heard about the so-called ecumenical council, they just laughed and ignored it.

In the belief of Kagaus, the precepts and rules of the priests have been passed down by the priests of the past generations since 3000 years ago. It is almost unchanged from ancient times. In the eyes of the priests, it has an extraordinary sanctity.

It seemed to be a gift from Kargaus.

However, Sealand and the church need to rely on a general meeting to decide the consensus, determine the direction of everyone's belief, and determine the precepts and rules of a belief, which inevitably makes the three-eyed ape-man priests drop their jaws and laugh dumbly.

This method is too novel.

It not only lacks the accumulation of history, but also lacks any sanctity.

In the eyes of the priests, the believers of those churches were undoubtedly babbling babies compared to themselves.

How can a baby alone shake Kagauth's faith?

When the nobles who believed in Cargaus expressed their worries, the priests comforted them and said:

"You have to know that our rules and regulations are passed down from our ancestors and witnessed by Kagaus.

But the so-called church is discussed by people's tongues, not only has no accumulation, but it has never been witnessed by any gods.

In our temple, only three-eyed apes can offer sacrifices, how clean it is; while in their church, nobles and slaves live in the same room, just like muddy water mixed with clean water, extremely rotten. "

Someone even asked a certain priest what he thought of the Lord.

The priest said instead:

"What lord on the mountain? Only Cargaus is worthy of our respect in this world.

Only Cargauth is the noblest god.

Creator?Which god is that? "

In the beginning, none of the priests thought that the presence of the church would shake their faith in Cargauth.

But as fewer and fewer nobles boarded the temple, the altar in front of the statue became more and more empty...

Priests... panicked.

The panic first arose because the lower temples were difficult to maintain. Many lower temples depended on the support of the lower nobles, but with the rise of the church, the lower nobles offered less and less sacrifices, and even stopped offering sacrifices at all. sacrifice.

These changes made the lower temples inevitably decline and be abandoned.

When the lower layer is transmitted to the upper layer, panic will naturally occur.

The priests began to accuse the New Law Garden fiercely, and they began to list the crimes of the believers, ranging from disrespecting the nobility to major crimes of desecrating the temple.

They listed one crime after another, and after the integration, they submitted it to the high priest Ola, asking him to submit it to the queen and put the believers of Sealand and the church in prison.

Facing the angry priests, the high priest Ola was perfunctory and ignored them.

Seeing this, the priests refused to let go, and they strongly demanded that Aura be charged and judge the believers of those churches.

Facing the priests who besieged him,

Aura suppressed her anger and said:
"What are you thinking... Once, once we set foot there, have you forgotten that we swore an oath before that prophet?"

As she said that, Aura named a few people's names, and those people turned pale immediately. They were all old people from the Great Temple, so they naturally remembered that incident.

"But, High Priest, that prophet has already left... If so, then the oath cannot be counted."
