Twilight West City, Royal Printing House.

Emerson picked up a booklet that had just been printed on the table, opened it, and looked up the contents of the book while smelling the pungent smell of ink.

Terrence stood beside him, wearing a pair of crystal glasses, carefully comparing the text of the Bible with a one-armed priest beside him.

Emerson scanned the entire book, put down the book in his hand, and asked the one-armed priest: "Moore, is this printed edition correct?"

Moore nodded: "The differences in the translation of the Bible, as well as all the references, as well as the analysis of the saints' speech, are all in this book. And I have read them all, there is no error."

Emerson looked back at Huggins, who was still confused, and explained: "Do you remember that more than half a month ago, your Majesty proposed to crack down on the influence of the church in the meeting to facilitate the development of Twilight West. According to this strategic direction, the cabinet has studied a large number of documents and consulted countless scholars. Finally found a breakthrough point. The Lord Nei issued an order to let the maritime merchant fleet of Western City go to the Southern Empire to purchase. Buy an ancient book version of the Bible."

Huggins recalled the incident and nodded yes.

"We spent ten times the weight of a book in gold and bought an oriental manuscript from the Abbasid Empire library. The original copy of the Bible was copied from the original Bible one thousand and eight hundred years ago." Emerson pointed carefully. Pointing to a dilapidated book written in parchment on the table: "This book was originally stored in the Orthodox Church in the Holy City of the East, and it was lost to the Southern Empire during the war."

Huggins was a little puzzled: "I know this, but does it have anything to do with the printed book?"

Emerson picked up the booklet that had just been printed, pointed to the name on the cover of the book-"Justified by Faith", and said to Huggins: "As we all know, the Bible translation used by the church comes from a Thai version 700 years ago. The Rowan version has undergone seven revisions before being translated into the common lingua franca today."

"However, this version translated by the church has some changes in the translation compared to the original version from the East."

Emerson pointed to the one-armed priest Moore, and said to Huggins: "Moore Rupert, once a priest in Thousand Wood Village, and an expert in the study of Bible doctrine, is currently the executive priest of Musi Cathedral. He He was also the first person to raise these differences to the cabinet. I will let him explain now."

Moore opened the original Bible, pointed to a sentence in it, and said in the old saying: "Δικαιων?μαστεμετηνπ?στη,μ?σωτουΚυρ?ουμα?Ιησο?Xριστο?,μετονΘε?και."

Huggins widened his eyes: "What does this mean?"

Moore first opened the church version of the Bible and said to Huggins: "In the church's Bible, this sentence is roughly translated as: "The believer must rely on his own good deeds and rituals to obtain salvation."

He then opened the newly printed booklet and continued: "But according to the ancient texts I checked, the interpretation of this sentence is more biased towards: "Believers must rely on their devotion to God in order to obtain salvation."

Huggins thought for a while and tried to ask: "In other words, is the church's translation of the original text more beneficial to them?"

Emerson took over: "Yes. If according to the church version of the Bible, believers want to be saved, they must rely on the guidance of the church to complete reasonable and effective deeds and rituals in order to obtain God's redemption..."

Terrence took off his glasses and added: "But according to the classic explanation we found, as long as believers have a pious heart, no matter what they say or do, no matter what the ritual, they can approach God and be saved in the end."

Huggins incredulously said: "In other words, in the original Bible, it is said that there is no need for the church to exist?!"

Moore nodded: "From the original text, believers have established a relationship with the Father through faith. The salvation of souls is not the work of the church, but God has bestowed gifts on his believers. Therefore, believers do not have to rely on the church to be extremely cumbersome. Religious rituals, the salvation of the soul can be achieved only by a pious belief in God."

Huggins stretched out a trembling hand, picked up a booklet on the table, and said softly: "If such a book is published to the public, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Moore said: "The largest doctrinal debate in history."

Terrence said: "A religious reform that has never been seen before."

Emerson sighed: "A **** religious war."

——————————————

Todd, who woke up leisurely in bed, shook his groggy head, trying his best to get rid of the discomfort caused by the hangover.

When he got up and looked out the window, Todd realized that the sun had risen above his head and it was already noon.

After wearing slowly, Todd came to the chapel of the church, planning to find Tristan.

An elderly nobleman sat in the first row of seats, saw Todd appearing, and immediately sat up with a smile.

"Mr. Ferryschild, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Todd glanced suspiciously at him: "Are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. Your Majesty wants to see you."

"Your Majesty?" It took Todd's dizzy brain for a while ~lightnovelpub.net~ to figure out that the person who wanted to see him was the King of the Holy Acropolis.

Looking at the royal knights standing on both sides of the door, Todd shook his head helplessly at the old nobleman: "I guess I have no right to refuse, do I?"

The visitor smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, your majesty is not malicious."

Todd turned around and pointed to his room: "I want to go back and get a few things."

The old noble stepped obliquely, blocking Todd's path, his smile softened: "Your Majesty hopes to see you immediately."

Secretly slandered a few words, and Todd explained a few words to Rachel in the soul space, indicating that if she couldn't contact him after a period of time, she would immediately initiate the retreat plan.

Under the **** of a team of knights, Todd rode in the royal carriage and once again stepped into the royal palace of the Holy Acropolis.

After crossing countless corridors and passing countless guard posts, Todd finally came to a pergola.

The old man who played chess with him last night set the chess game and sat in front of the chess board, quietly waiting for Todd's arrival.

When seeing the latter appear, the old man waved his hand happily and motioned everyone to leave.

Todd looked at the tall, weak old man in front of him, and asked tentatively: "You are the king of the Holy Acropolis and the lion of the Father, Leoric?"

"Yes, kid."

Todd glanced at the backgammon board in front of the opponent: "I guess you didn't call me here to play chess?"

Leoric smiled and nodded: "You guessed it, I am entrusted by others."

"Who?"

Leoric turned half of his body and pointed his finger behind him.

Mary's smile, which was as delicate as a flower, appeared in Todd's field of vision.
