Chapter 186: Get on the Fire Rack!
The night is beautiful.
Although the bright lights and bustling New York is not a time for indulgence, it will give outsiders the illusion of a peaceful and tranquil “city that never sleeps”.
Walking on a deserted sidewalk.
Bruce was trapped by his sudden thoughts.
Is that possibility really possible…
Bruce didn’t really want to, or didn’t dare to think about it.
This will collapse his worldview.
And it will cause great turmoil and influence in society.
He paused.
Thinking thoughtfully about something.
Do the top management know about this?
If they know, do the top management have the means to check and balance “it”?
If they don’t know, am I looking for death?
Inexplicably.
Bruce thinks that the police uniform on his body can no longer give him enough sense of security.
Then he thought that he might be scaring himself.
If he was scared, then the purpose of the person behind the scenes would be achieved.
He could even start killing people without any worries.
Pat his face.
Bruce regained his composure.
He had to admit.
He was indeed scared by his own thoughts just now.
The bizarre ghost things were indeed not something that mortals could deal with.
Walking on the quiet street.
The quiet atmosphere gave Bruce some convenience in thinking.
He saw a church.
His eyebrows jumped.
The church was still open at this time?
It must have been delayed by something.
Thinking of the religious madman in the reasoning, Bruce walked towards the church inexplicably.
He happened to run into a priest who was about to close the door.
The priest was old, with a kind and gentle face.
There was a cross hanging on his chest.
That was not all, he also held a rough wooden cross in his hand very preciously.
“… Father, I think I probably need your help.”
The priest agreed to Bruce’s rude request.
Because the priest was indeed a kind person.
Also because of the police uniform Bruce was wearing and the police gun on his waist.
The old priest silently picked up a Bible and helped Bruce solve his problems in the prayer room.
Listening to the trash talk of customers.
The old priest had long been accustomed to his profession.
Fifty dollars a time, it would be a waste not to do it.
This is much cheaper than seeing a psychologist.
“Child, you can tell me anything that bothers you.
I promise God that I will not disclose any of your information.”
Nodding without comment.
Bruce tentatively placed a silver bar in front of the old priest.
“11.25 grams.”
“Hmm? Child, are you sure it is 11.25 grams?”
“Yes…”
The old priest hesitated.
He looked at Bruce and thought he was not a pious man.
Why would he make a shekel of silver?
Yes.
The old priest knew the meaning of 11.25 grams of silver.
Because shekel is very common in the Bible.
“Father, are you saying that shekel is a common term in the Bible? ”
Bruce’s eyes seemed to light up.
A clue…
Got a positive response.
Hesitated for a while.
Bruce made an exception and told the case to the priest.
But the priest went from being embarrassed at first to being serious later, and then to being horrified.
Found it…
Bruce was a little excited, but he stared at the old priest calmly.
And he reached his right hand to his waist in a very subtle way.
If the matter was urgent, he would take some necessary measures.
However.
The old priest was even more excited than Bruce.
He grabbed Bruce’s arm tightly and confirmed repeatedly with a burning gaze.
“Is it true?”
“Yes. ”
Actually…
“There will be such a thing…”
The old priest let go of his hand in a daze.
His eyes were full of disbelief. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
In this not-so-big prayer room, the old priest walked around, looking very excited.
“Can you tell me what secrets are hidden in this?”
Bruce’s mood also kept jumping with the other person’s figure.
Finally…
There is a flaw.
“Secret?”
The old priest was stunned at first, then shook his head with a smile.
What secrets are there?
Or rather, this is a pure open secret.
“This is a sanctification ceremony. ”
Sanctification ceremony?
What does it mean?
The old priest ignored Bruce’s doubts and hurriedly rummaged out an old-fashioned book from the inner room.
The Bible. Old Testament.
“It takes four steps to walk the path of sanctification. ”[]
1. Worship the Holy–
They eat the things that are used for atonement, so that they can be ordained and sanctified; but outsiders may not eat them, because they are holy things.
2. Burning Unrighteousness (Ignite Virtue)–
All unrighteous people must be buried with flames, and the truth of “seven” must be followed so that God’s will can be implemented and they can be sanctified to me.
3. Offering to God–
Micah returned the 1,100 shekels of silver to his mother; his mother said: I have divided this silver to offer to the Lord for you, so that you can carve an image or cast an image; now I am giving it to you.
4. Sacrifice for Righteousness–
So they stopped King Uzziah and said to him: Uzziah, it is not your business to burn incense to the Lord, but it is the business of the priests of the sons of Aaron who have been ordained.Things.
Get out of the temple! Because you have sinned. The Lord God will not give you glory for doing this.
So they burned themselves to death.
These are the four steps of the road to sanctification.
Each step represents madness that ordinary people cannot understand.
After all.
This is the Old Testament.
And among these four steps, the craziest and most special one is the second step.
Burning injustice, or, igniting virtue.
To be honest, the second step is so difficult for the church to explain.
But the cases mentioned by Bruce, as well as various metaphors, make it difficult for the old priest not to associate them with the road to sanctification.
Because there were devout believers who did such crazy things.
In the chaotic period of the Middle Ages, every church staff member had blood on their hands.
It’s a pity.
No one succeeded.
So the “holiness” of the Old Testament was covered with a layer of shadow.
The Old Testament, which could not show holiness, would naturally be replaced by the New Testament.
It is not that the New Testament has shown holiness.
On the contrary, the New Testament is similar to the Old Testament and is basically useless.
But the content of the New Testament is ambiguous…
If you succeed, you are naturally a devout believer.
No?
Well, well, well.
Those who are not devout enough, or even pagans, dare to ask such a blasphemous question…
Get on the rack!
In short.
The Old Testament suffered from its lack of culture, allowing these damned people to find a loophole.
The reason why the second step of the road to holiness is special is that people cannot distinguish the meaning of “seven”, and whether it is burning injustice or igniting virtue.
Or is it both?
Now, with the clues provided by Bruce, the old priest seems to have a little sudden realization.
Seven, it can be the seven deadly sins.
It seems that it can also be the seven virtues…
