Chapter 1675 Want to Preach? Go!
Because Captain Victor Hugo joined the Mormon Church, the head of the church, Adams, passed out from being "happy" and is currently being sent to the hospital to recuperate.
Saint Rachel personally baptized Victor Hugo as a priest. In front of more than 3,000 people in the cathedral, she pressed the culprit's head into the water with all her strength, and kept holding it until Victor Hugo couldn't hold back his head from the water. .
"Rachel, are you trying to drown me?"
"I'm just going to drown you mischievous bastard."
"Pfft..., I think I sing pretty well."
"I also think I'm drowning pretty well now."
...
For ordinary people to be baptized, a brief submersion is enough. But Rachel flooded Zhou Qingfeng back and forth several times. Uncle Zhou didn't have the NTZ-49 enhancement, so he accidentally choked on several saliva.
Many people at the scene thought to themselves: It is really different for the saint to baptize the saints!
Zhou Qingfeng has joined the Mormon sect, so it's not easy to prevent others from preaching in his territory. This is a great joy for the gods of the Mormon Church. Those who seem to have no real power in the church can benefit too much from it.
After the canonization and baptism ceremonies were over, a group of missionaries from the Mormon Church hurriedly expressed their intention to go to Mexico to save the lost lambs. Zhou Qingfeng has nothing to do about it. If he wants to take root in America, he must adapt to the religious environment here.
Uncle Zhou can only say... If you want to go to Mexico to preach, you have to train!
What……?
The day after his baptism, Victor Hugo called together all the Mormon missionaries who had signed up to go to Mexico. These missionaries expressed excitedly last night that they would spare no effort to spread the glory of the Lord.
But now when Uncle Zhou said that he needed training, everyone was stunned.
Do the clergy still need training for missionary work? The Mormon missionaries said, 'We are all big fools, we can deceive people with the Book of Mormon, what training do we need? '
But Zhou Qingfeng set the tone with a single sentence, "Now is the end of the world, and restoring production and life is the most urgent need of the lambs. It is difficult to spread teachings by words alone, and it must be practiced."
A bunch of Mormon missionaries really have no way to refute this statement,
How to improve life in the last days is what everyone is most concerned about. If you can't save your life, everything else is empty talk. In fact, if it weren't for some characteristics of the Mormon Church that are suitable for surviving in the last days, they would be finished.
"In fact, the residents of Mexico are in urgent need of spiritual comfort and guidance, but how to do it will be different from the past." Zhou Qingfeng's words are actually very reasonable. Talking about God is useful, but there is no real benefit, who will go with you?
But the problem is that preaching has always been a nonsense. The Mormon missionaries looked at each other in blank dismay. In the past, they used to verbally comfort, encourage, and win over the flock. They were very uncomfortable with Zhou Qingfeng's way of thinking that talked about benefits as soon as they opened their mouths.
"In order to grow the Mormon Church as much as possible, you have to go deep into the fields, into the factory communities...so that you can reach more people."
The missionaries nodded one after another, they all understood the point of going deep into the masses.
"But having contact with more people does not mean that you can attract them to join the church. You must work and live together with workers and peasants, understand them, help them, solve their difficulties, enlighten their minds, and become their teachers." Only those who take the lead can spread the glory of the Lord.”
Eh..., isn't it?
Immediately, a missionary spoke up and retorted: "We didn't preach like this in the past. We mainly propagated the Mormon doctrine, propagandizing..."
"In the past, you preached that the end times are coming, and only those who believe in the Lord can be saved. Well, now that the end times have come, are believers saved?" Zhou Qingfeng stopped back with one sentence.
Uh... this question is impossible to answer.
Hahaha... God sticks, are you dumbfounded? They use the end times to scare people every day, deceiving people that they can only be saved if they believe in God. But now you are all in danger, and you have to have the great legion commander to save you. Isn't that ironic?
Missionaries are all specially trained, and they have long been trained how to deal with various doubts and resistances of non-believers. But..., no one has ever told them what to do when the real end of the world has come? As long as you have a little brain, you will know that it is actually a false proposition.
To be honest, those who have survived to this day and still actively ask to preach are the elites of the Mormon Church, and they are firm believers in God. But precisely because of their firm belief in God, their thinking will suffer the greatest impact in the last days.
Behind Zhou Qingfeng, a group of professionals from the Real World Academy of Social Sciences analyzed for him, pointing out that the biggest weakness of religion in the last days is "self-collapse." You talk about the last days every day, and God will come to save you every day. Now the end times are coming, tell me where is God?
The strongest point is the weakest point.
Zhou Qingfeng's one sentence will kill his heart!
A bunch of missionaries had to be silent. The pressure of life in the last days forced them to put their lives first. But in fact, many people have already had similar problems in their hearts. People who have lost their beliefs and committed suicide in despair are not a minority in religious groups.
This is rare among non-religious groups, and the Chinese feel at most that they have been hit by a natural disaster. There are also those who commit suicide in despair, but they are all desperate and unable to survive, and seldom because of faith.
"Are you still willing to listen to me?" Zhou Qingfeng asked standing on the stage.
The group of people below were silent and their thoughts were numb. For more than two years in the last days, it was forbidden to discuss this issue within the church. Because the top leaders of the church themselves are very clear that this problem is the Achilles heel of religion, and there is no way to solve it if there are too many mistakes.
Only Uncle Zhou jumped out now and directly tore the church's scars bloody. And after he finished tearing it up, he said quietly: "Whenever we encounter a crisis, it is also an opportunity. To seize the opportunity, we must reform to adapt to the crisis. What do you think?"
reform? This rhetorical question is even more silent. Zhou Qingfeng simply walked up to a missionary and asked again: "Do you have any thoughts on the current predicament of the church?"
It was a young missionary who was asked by name, and he was quite handsome. But Zhou Qingfeng completely lost his ability to reason about such a big question, and finally he was able to say: "I don't know much about the Lord, I think I need to learn more, I..., I won't go to Mexico gone."
"You're timid."
"NO, I have not."
"Your faith in the Lord has been shaken."
"No no, I really haven't."
Zhou Qingfeng's accusation was serious, which caused the young missionary to protest in panic. But Uncle Zhou didn't continue to talk to this person, he asked another older missionary to ask the same question.
There's nothing you can do about it when you're old, the missionary's thinking is actually very simple, just three words 'no doubt'. Anyone who doubts the Lord is not a good believer. If you have any doubts, it must be because you do not understand the Lord; if you encounter any difficulties, it must be the Lord's test; if...
Anyway, the Lord is omnipotent. If there is a problem, it must be the problem of the believer himself. But the coming of the end of the world is the most fundamental issue written in the scriptures. If this issue cannot be justified, don't mention the others.
The older missionary couldn't explain why, so he could only reason: "This question needs someone with higher wisdom to answer it. I think we should ask His Majesty Adams."
"You are shirking your responsibility." Zhou Qingfeng charged again.
"No, I don't. I'm not capable enough." The older missionary also began to panic.
"Actually, the answer lies in the reality. You are going to Mexico to preach, and I have approved it. I hope you can earnestly do a good job in this matter, and spread the gospel of the Lord in practice."
Practice is what can change people the most. In fact, there are very few stubborn people. People always have to adapt to society in order to survive. Zhou Qingfeng instead pushed Mormon missionaries to Mexico this time. But the thousands of Mormon missionaries are starting to get a little scared.
You can pretend you don't know anything in Salt Lake City, but you have to face reality in Mexico. The enthusiasm for preaching excitedly began to fade, and everyone was facing unavoidable problems.
This incident reached the ears of His Majesty Adams, and the eighty-year-old man lay on the sickbed and beat the bed board bitterly. Regardless of the medical staff's obstruction, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "God, I am guilty. Help me up, I will expel this guy from the church, otherwise the church will be finished."
