"Bishop robus, what is God?" asked Arthur.
"God is the God of light, the only true God in the world, the creator, nurturer, guardian and regulator of all things! The God of light is omnipresent, eternal, omniscient and omnipotent. At the same time, it is extremely dignified, benevolent and good, good and evil will be rewarded, and the liquidation will be rapid!"
Bishop robus blurted out that such a problem is clearly stated in the holy chapter of light, which is the content that every priest and believer must know.
Looking at the solemn looking robus, Arthur shook his head and said, "wrong!"
"Wrong?"
Robus looked at Arthur in disbelief, with a touch of consternation in his eyes.
Cruz behind him rubbed himself directly from his chair and asked Arthur, "then tell me what''s wrong! This is the account in the Holy Scripture, and there can never be a mistake!"
"Little priest, pay attention to your tone. The man in front of you is the count of Lingfeng castle." Thorne''s eyes stared at Cruz like a cold light.
At the moment of looking at each other, Cruz tightened his body in an instant, and the courage he had previously shown due to anger immediately dissipated. The other party''s tall body, sharp eyes and ferocious scars on his face make him feel watched by ferocious beasts.
Arthur raised his arm slightly, stopped Thorne next to him, tilted his head, looked behind Hobbes and looked at Cruz with interest.
Seeing that he was very frightened but insisted on his stubborn look, Arthur decided to give him a problem.
"Little priest, I ask you, can your God of light make a huge stone that he can''t lift himself?"
"Of course not!" Cruz replied immediately, holding his slightly trembling fists.
"Don''t worry," said Arthur with a smile. "You must think clearly before you answer, or your omniscient God of light will be in danger."
This problem is a logical paradox accidentally seen by Arthur I. at first glance, it sounds unclear and fierce, but it doesn''t have much significance, because it is a meaningless sentence, just like the problem of "drawing a round square".
Reminded by Arthur, Cruz immediately realized the problem and immediately changed his mouth to say "no", but when it came to his throat, he suddenly realized that "no" was a more wrong answer.
The wrong answer is that he wants to open his mouth, but Cruz doesn''t understand now,
Looking at Cruz, who was asked by Arthur, robbs immediately said, "Your Excellency, your question is wrong. Such a problem has no meaning at all, and it can not be used as the basis for you to deny the scripture!"
Compared with the young Cruz, bishop robus is obviously much more mature and experienced. Although he couldn''t give a logical reason, he knew that such a problem was untenable and didn''t exist.
"It''s just a little game," Arthur said with a smile. "Moreover, this is not the basis for me to deny your scriptures."
Arthur did not intend to overthrow the bishop of robus on the basis of a simple logical paradox. If the other party is defeated so easily, it can only show that the "walking bookcase" is just boasting.
Hearing Arthur''s last words, bishop robus nodded and glanced at Cruz, who was still thinking hard. He was too lazy to wake up. He was impolite first and was embarrassed by the other party''s unreasonable questions at the moment. It was also an experience.
Looking at Arthur, he asked, "in that case, please explain the basis for your denial of the Scripture."
"Bishop robus," said Arthur, "I agree with you that God is omnipresent. I agree with you that God is omniscient and immortal. But there are good and bad people. Does God also have it? What is good, what is bad, and what is good and evil?"
Arthur''s question made robus tremble in his heart, the calm and confident look on his face suddenly turned serious and serious, and a trace of indifference in his heart was swept away in an instant.
Glancing at the bachelor at the table, robus looked at Arthur on the seat and asked seriously, "Sir, is this your problem or the bachelor''s problem?"
"Why, what''s the difference?" asked Arthur.
"No, No."
Rob''s mind flew around. He didn''t know whether Arthur asked the question casually or whether the scholars wanted to teach it.
If Arthur only asked casually, he can naturally tell him what is good or bad, good or evil without hesitation, but if it is the intention of the scholars, he must carefully deal with a series of problems after this problem.
After a quick thought, robus replied: "My Lord, God has no distinction between good and evil. It is man who has the distinction between good and evil. The Scripture says that the God of light is the most benevolent and good, and good and evil will be rewarded, because the Oracle is the most benevolent and good, and good and evil will be rewarded. Because the God of light has agreed with people that whoever obeys the Oracle will live forever in the kingdom of the God of light after death, and those who violate the Oracle will fall into the abyss and hell."
What a perfect answer, Arthur thought.
His question seems simple, but if the other party answers truthfully according to the description of the "holy chapter of light", the God of light will be dim immediately.
As the other party said, people are good and bad. If God also has good and bad, then God will add human nature, and God will be greatly reduced.
Even, it is directly derived that the God of light is just an artificial God, or a God that exists only to meet people''s likes and dislikes and expectations.
Such a God, still God?
Although it can not be directly affirmed, it can not be directly denied.
The reason is very simple, because if God loses people''s expectations, such a God will have no value to people. Why should people believe in him?
Rob''s brilliant answer is that he added a "covenant" between God and man. It is not the supreme benevolence and goodness of God, but the supreme benevolence and goodness agreed between God and man.
"The bishop is worthy of the title of" walking bookcase ". Such an answer not only ensures the divinity, but also retains people''s expectations of God." Arthur praised without stinginess.
"Thank you for your praise." when nodding his head, Hobbes looked confident.
However, the confidence on his face did not last long. Just as he looked up at Arthur again, he saw a successful smile on each other''s face.
"Bishop," said Arthur, "according to what you said just now, as long as people abide by the agreement with the God of light, they can live forever in the kingdom of the God of light. Then I want to know, if this is the case, what is the necessity and value of your God of light? It only needs the king and local lords to issue a decree to let their people abide by it."
Hearing the speech, Hobbes looked surprised.
Just as his thoughts turned and thought about how to answer, Arthur then said, "also, don''t you think this agreement is too overbearing and rude. You don''t allow any other choice with one hand of candy and one hand of sword. What''s the difference between this and adults coaxing children to scare children? In addition, are selling atonement vouchers, collecting atonement money and punishing pagans also included in the agreement?"
