Chapter 768 The Great Collision of East-West Culture
Matteo Ricci felt that he had to refute the blasphemy and was willing to do so.
Otherwise, if you can't even get through this hurdle in your heart, your Heavenly Father will question your piety!
"This is ridiculous. How could you, a Marquis of the East, be the Son of God, the brother of Christ Jesus?
If what you say is true, why isn’t your deeds recorded in the Bible?”
Lin Tailai laughed "haha" and argued in turn: "Who says there is no record in the Bible?
If you read the Bible well, you should know that there was a king named Melchizedek in the Bible Genesis volume.
This extremely noble ancient king was also a high priest. He once blessed Abraham and was described in the Bible as similar to the Son of God.
Then, what exactly is Melchizedek recorded in the Bible? His appearance earlier than Christ Jesus, and why is it described as "approximately the Son of God"?"
Matteo Ricci remained silent. "Melchizedek" may be one of the most difficult "BUGs" in the Bible. The existing doctrine system cannot explain clearly what happened to this person.
If there are only the only true God of the Trinity of the Holy Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the world, then what is the divine nature of Melchizedek?
Not to mention Matteo Ricci, even the Pope stood here and couldn't understand it.
But Melchizedek, King of Salem, is very important and cannot be completely ignored.
He blessed Abraham, and then Abraham and his descendants obtained the law of the "Promised Land".
Lin Tailai pointed at himself with a very bad taste and said to Matteo Ricci with a loud voice: "So Jesus had a brother, Melchizedek, and I, Melchizedek, was reborn in the mortal world."
What a mess! Matteo Ricci seemed a little angry and asked: "The Bible says that Melchizedek has no father, no mother, no birth, no end of life, no life, no life, no similarity, Marquis?"
Lin Tailai said with a reasonable and well-founded statement: "Don't you understand? This description means rebirth in the mortal world. I am Melchizedek and rebirth in the mortal world!
Of course, the reborn begins with no life and ends with no life. Doesn’t it fit the description?”
Matteo Ricci continued to question: "If you were Melchizedek, why would you be resurrected at this time in the Far East where you had completely unconverted?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Because Western Europa has had the intention of damning the world in the past century, I was reborn in the East and warned the Ming Empire to defend and eliminate evil demons."
Matteo Ricci retorted again: "The Marquis' words are so funny! All countries in the continental country convert to our Lord. Although there are occasional heresy, most of them have been eliminated. How can evil demons cause trouble in the world?"
Lin Tailai suddenly took out a silver coin from the Flang machine and said coldly: "The huge amount of bones of the American Incas, and the massive amount of American gold and silver turned into gold coins and silver coins, which is the ironclad evidence of your Europa's evil demons chasing the world.
Don’t say that you, the Roman Catholic Church, don’t know these, your pope even drew a meridian for the two evil deities to determine the scope of the spoils.
There were Florences a hundred years ago, in recent years, there were Lowlands, and later English and French.
Matteo Ricci! Is there anything wrong with what I said? Those behaviors are not evil devils, are they gods?"
Matteo Ricci was shocked. When facing a person who knew the truth, any explanation would be pale and powerless.
In the distant East, why does such an "omniscient" character appear?
Even what happened in the Americas tens of thousands of miles away seemed to be clear, as if you had witnessed it!
Lin Tailai sneered: "If they can massacre and plunder because they are heretics, then our Ming Dynasty is also heretics in your eyes. What will you do?"
Then Matteo Ricci could only reluctantly respond: "Those indigenous things have nothing to do with the Eastern Ming Empire."
Lin Tailai seemed to be like an "omniscient", and explained patiently: "Those Mayans and Incas are all remnants of the Shang Dynasty in ancient Eastern times. After the demise of the dynasty, they crossed the ocean and settled in the Americas.
So since ancient times, Americans have also been branched with Chinese bloodlines, but are now slaughtered by Europa demons. How can it be said that they have nothing to do with our Celestial Empire?”
Can this all be related? Matteo Ricci's mentality collapsed and he shouted:
"But you are Melchizedek's resurrection and rebirth! What does the matter between the Eastern China and China have to do with you?"
Lin Tailai blinked, "Melchizedek and Father Tiandi are from China, otherwise why am I reborn in China?
Only the second son, Jesus, is a mixed-blood relationship between the East and the West. After the Chinese God arrived in the West, he was a product of a woman named Jasmine Yan.
So, this Jasmine Yan has always been embarrassed to say what the child’s father is. You can only call it God in general, and have created a bunch of other names.
After all, the gods from faraway China are incarnated in the ignorant West, which is still a bit shocking.
You see, isn’t all this a match for the story?”
In terms of preaching the scriptures and solving doubts, Lin Tailai seems to be more patient today and is serious about Matteo Ricci's science.
The most terrifying thing about preaching is not that the other party is ignorant, but that the other party knows a lot but is more able to compile! Moreover, the compiled things can be self-consistent and logically self-consistent!
Lin Tailai ignored Matteo Ricci's crazy or not, and suddenly his face became serious and said seriously:
“Today is a private conversation, and it’s fine to take care of your understanding.
But from now on, your sect will no longer usurp the terms God, God, Heavenly Father, the only true God in the Ming Dynasty, so as not to confuse the audio-visual and offend my Chinese gods.”
Matteo Ricci asked instinctively, "What should I call it?"
When Lin Tailai talked with Matteo Ricci, Xu Guangqi and Zhou Daodeng did not go too far and kept guarding outside the study.
They suddenly heard Matteo Ricci howl vaguely, and Xu Guangqi asked Zhou Daodeng nervously: "Is something wrong?"
After listening carefully, Zhou Daodeng replied, "Don't worry, there is no big deal. If the king can't argue with Matteo Ricci, it's a big deal to start.
Now only Matteo Ricci whine, and no movement can tell that the king has completely gained the upper hand."
Xu Guangqi was relieved. As long as Lin Tai came to feel comfortable, everything would be easy to say.
After a while, Matteo Ricci walked out in a daze, as if his soul had been captured by a demon.
Xu Guangqi went up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Even though Matteo Ricci had thousands of words, he didn't know where to start. He pointed to the study room and said in an accusation: "He actually said he was the Son of God!"
Xu Guangqi replied dismissively: "Is there anything worth making a fuss about just talking about the Son of God?
All Daming said that he was a god from heaven and descended to earth, but he didn't know which god he was."
Matteo Ricci: ""
Do you Chinese treat gods like this? Do you understand what blasphemy is?
At this time, Lin Tailai also told Xu Guangqi that he had gone in, and Zhou Daodeng stayed outside to accompany Matteo Ricci.
Then Zhou Daodeng asked curiously: "June and Hou talked to you about the affairs of gods just now? Did he point out which god he had descended to earth?
Actually, I personally speculate that he may be the reincarnation of the Golden-winged Roc, and that is the uncle of the Buddha."
Matteo Ricci didn't say a word, and at this time he felt ashamed and lost confidence in preaching in the East for the first time.
He finally discovered that the huge gap between the East and West thinking was completely different from the root.
Especially with people like Marquis Lin, how could orthodox doctrine be passed down?
"What? Prince of the West?" In the study, Xu Guangqi looked at Lin Tailai with a confused look on his face.
He is also very familiar with myths and legends. He knows that there is the famous god of Queen Mother of the West and the relatively small-famous god of Prince East, but what is this unheard of Western Prince West?
Lin Tailai smiled and said, "As the name suggests, the Queen Mother of the West is the husband of the Queen Mother of the West."
Xu Guangqi asked back: "But in myth, isn't the husband of the Queen Mother of the West the East?"
Lin Tailai continued to explain seriously: "In fact, the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West are brothers and sisters. One of them is in the East China Sea and the other is in the West Kunlun. How can they get married? So the real husband of the Queen Mother of the West is the Queen Mother of the West."
Xu Guangqi said again: "Why haven't I met the Western Prince in the classics?"
Lin Tailai was a little impatient, "I haven't seen the Eastern Prince in the classics before the Eastern Han Dynasty! This Eastern Prince was compiled by Taoist priests of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Why did you believe it?"
What is implied by the Taoist priests of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but I, Lin Tailai, cannot make it?
Xu Guangqi did not dare to disobey Lin Tailai and asked again: "Then what are the deeds of this Western Prince?"
Lin Tailai replied: "The Queen Mother of the West and Queen Mother of the West have a son, but the Queen Mother of the West is more powerful, and the Queen Mother of the West is very afraid of the Queen Mother of the West.
But the King of Western King was dissatisfied but did not dare to resist, so he took his son and ran away from Kunlun Mountain.
In order to avoid the Queen Mother of the West, the Prince and Prince of the West went west and walked tens of thousands of miles before stopping."
Xu Guangqi: ""
Junhou, the story is quite fashionable. Even the "shin" and "fearing your wife" jokes that are very popular in recent novels and jokes.
From an artistic point of view, it is very interesting. I wonder if I want to listen to it.
He listened to Lin Tailai continuing to say: "Later, the Western Prince and the local woman, Jasmine Yan, had a second son named Jesus."
Damn! Xu Guangqi was immediately enlightened and suddenly realized! After compiling for a long time, it turned out that the topic was here!
Under this framework, isn’t the Western Prince the God Father in Matteo Ricci’s mouth?
What is the point of Matteo Ricci going to the East to preach? Western princes came to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?
No wonder Matteo Ricci looked devastated when he came out just now. Who could have suffered such a mental blow?
If Lin Tailai's theory was popularized, the doctrines brought by Matteo Ricci would not be spread well in the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Tailai also told a story from ancient times: "At that time, the Western Prince and Duke saw that the Western people were ignorant, and they called it the lost lamb and educated them. The eldest son of the Western Prince was Salem, which was responsible for the Western world in ancient times.
king.
However, after the second son of Western blood, Jesus, came to the realm, the Westerners erased most of the deeds of the eldest son of the Western Prince and referred to Melchizedek.
From then on, the Westerners regarded the Western Prince as the only true God and Jesus as the only Son of God, and compiled a scripture called "The Bible".
Xu Guangqi was speechless for a long time. Why did the smell of family ethics dramas come out again? This time, my mother is on the throne and her illegitimate son fights for the throne?
Finally, Lin Tai said: "As for Melchizedek's eyes seeing the breeding of Western Europa demons, and to cause harm to the world, he will be reincarnated and reborn back to China, protect the Ming Dynasty, and suppress the evil demons outside the territory, this is all a story."
Xu Guangqi thought silently, do you, Mr. Lin, dare to point out directly? After the reincarnation of the legitimate son of the Queen Mother of the West, who was called Melchizedek by the Westerners, was his surname Lin?
"Okay, don't be stunned. Now I'll give you a task." Lin Tailai ordered: "Improve the divine history I tell today and promote it."
Then Lin Tailai thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that your strength is limited, so let's do it together with Gao Changjiang.
Although Gao Changjiang is talented and lacks imagination, he is still very capable in cultural communication.
I hope you can work together to at least spread these stories to be as well-known as the Gods and Journey to the West.”
Xu Guangqi thought about it in his mind, feeling that the top-level design in this system is still lacking, "Since Queen Mother of the West and Prince East are not husband and wife, who is the wife of Prince East? Prince East?"
Lin Tailai thought for a moment and replied: "This Dongwang is known as the Great God of the East Sea, and the Great God of Fusang, the Queen Mother of the East is the Great God of Amaterasu worshipped by Japan?
Because of his unvirtuousness or unfaithfulness, the Queen Mother of the East was retired by the King of the East two thousand years ago. Later, he lived on Fusang Island, Gao Tianyuan called himself Amaterasu and became a god worshipped by the Japanese."
Xu Guangqi: ""
Regardless of whether the "historical" system created by Lin Junhou is reasonable or not, the family ethical fun is really enough.
Lin Tailai encouraged: "Don't think it's nonsense, this is a big plan for a lifetime! Do it well!"
Xu Guangqi couldn't help but ask: "Why is the reason why he attaches so much importance to these trivial matters?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Prepare for the future, resist cultural invasion, and reverse cultural output."
Another thing that people don’t understand is that Xu Guangqi took the task and then left.
When he got outside, Xu Guangqi looked at Matteo Ricci and sighed and said, "The Lord has given you an order to find a place to live in!
Then please write down all the knowledge in mathematics, astronomy and geography.”
Matteo Ricci, who was still confused, subconsciously said: "So no more doctrines?"
Xu Guangqi replied: "I will write this for you, so you don't have to worry about it. After all, you don't understand the Chinese myths very well, nor do you know the grievances and revenge of the Western Princes, and you can't write the essence of Christianity well.
But I will ask you in the future, and translate the new version of the Scripture into Latin.
Matteo Ricci said in surprise: "What is the significance of writing a scripture like Hu? Who would read such a slandered book book for anyone who converts? "
Xu Guangqi said: "Marquis Lin may promote the introduction of a local law case. In the future, silk, porcelain, and tea must be exported, and a certain number of Protestant scriptures must be matched with."
Matteo Ricci: ""
Oh my god! I can’t live anymore! Come on the Doomsday Trial! Let’s get him and Marquis Lin into hell!
I was very sinful! I was ordered to go to the East to preach, but I accidentally opened Pandora's box!
