Joshua did not know that Feichi was extremely dissatisfied and continued, "...the snake said to the woman, 'Did God really say that you are not allowed to eat from any tree in the garden?'
The woman said to the snake, "We may eat from the trees in the garden, but God has said, "You must not eat of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, nor touch it, lest you die."
The snake said to the woman, "You will not necessarily die, for God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Then when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and was pleasing to the eye, and that it made people wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she gave it to her husband, and he also ate it.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together for themselves.
There was a cool breeze in the sky, and the Lord God was walking in the garden.
When the man and his wife heard the voice of God, they hid themselves among the trees of the garden from the presence of the Lord God.
The Lord God called to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?'
He said, 'I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.'
‘Who told you that you were naked?’ said the LORD. ‘Did you eat from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?’
The man said, 'The woman you gave me to live with me gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.'
The LORD God said to the woman, 'What have you done?'
The woman said, 'The snake tempted me, and I ate it.'
The Lord God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock and wild animals; you will walk on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman;
There will be enmity between the seed and the woman's seed. The woman's seed will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.'
…”
Fei Chi couldn't help it anymore, "Master, this is too much! Who eats dirt? I never eat dirt. Those who eat dirt are earthworms. Does he understand?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Feichi actually listened so seriously.
Feimo said, "It's really annoying. From now on, I will only hate guys who believe in Jehovah."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Well, Feimo listened very seriously.
"...and he said to the woman, 'I will multiply your pains in pregnancy, and your pain in giving birth to children will be many. Your desire will be for your husband, and your husband will rule over you.'
And he said to Adam, "Because you obeyed your wife and ate of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. You must labor all the days of your life to get anything to eat from the ground."
The earth will bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the herbs of the field. You will eat your bread by the sweat of your brow, until you return to the dust; for you came from the dust. You are dust, yet you will
Return to dust.'"
Joshua recited in a calm voice, and his unhurried speaking style had probably become a habit.
"Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living things.
The Lord God made garments of skins for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
The LORD God says: ‘The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.’…”
"The snake said that if you eat it, you will not necessarily die. People are indeed not dead. The snake said that if you eat it, you will know good and evil like gods. If you eat it, people will also know good and evil." Chi Feichi walked towards the wall and looked at the pile of things.
, said calmly, "The snake didn't lie, so who lied? Who said before that if you eat it, you will die?"
Joshua closed his eyes and said, "Jehovah God."
"If the fruit of good and evil is really the fruit of sin, and God also knows good and evil, then is he also sinful?" Chi Feichi continued, his tone still calm, as if stating the facts, "He is afraid, people know
Wisdom comes from strangers, and he begins to feel ashamed. He can no longer control and dominate such a person. He is afraid that people will eat fruits from other trees and gain the same power as him. From then on, the toys he enjoys will compete with him.
He wanted to be the only one, so he exiled people away from the Garden of Eden...Joshua, people should know how to distinguish between good and evil, and think carefully, who is trying to help people? Who is deceiving and cursing people?"
Before you fool people, you should do your homework and look for breakthrough points.
"I..." Joshua lowered his head lower and his eyes were firm, "I am willing to dedicate my life's loyalty to you. This is why I came here. I was born 60 years ago. My parents are both devout Christians.
They named me Joshua, which they told me means someone who receives God’s help, and also means a shy, smart, independent, and faithful believer.”
"I was baptized at birth to wash away my sins. I have believed in precepts throughout my life to lead people to do good, so that they can worship and serve him. I have no other gods except him. I do not worship any other gods. I do not worship any other gods.
Coveting everything that belongs to others... I was his disciple, and he has abandoned me.”
"The people I had reached out to for help denied everything I had done that day. They burst into my hospital room and accused me of being a sinner. They broke my things and beat me."
"People whom I had shown love and tolerance for, they looked at me with ferocious looks and showed off their power."
"The wanderers who I have provided them with bread and clear water are also laughing and teasing me."
"My God, my Lord, I pray in my heart, hoping that they will look at his followers."
"God has never seen my situation, never remembered my efforts, and has never heard my voice."
"At that time, I still abided by his precepts. I was still tolerant and lenient. I went to church to repent, but God completely gave up on me. He nailed me to the nail pillar."
…
Chi Feichi listened quietly.
What really caused Joshua's faith to collapse was actually people, the same kind of people in a certain group.
Some people say that if a person who does many evil things does one good thing, he will be praised, but if a person who has always done good things only does one evil thing, he will be despised.
This phenomenon does exist, but in fact, if a person who has done many evil things does a good deed, people will also doubt his motives and suspect that he is just acting on a whim, but they will still not be so generous in their hearts to forgive him or trust him. They just want to
Encourage the person who will hurt them to stop hurting them; and when a good person does an evil thing, people also know that it is just a mistake and know his nature, but just because they know he is good, people
Dare not to hide your evil thoughts.
People have a herd mentality, and what is generally recognized as good and evil by the public will also be the standard for evaluating good and evil in the individual's subconscious mind.
If this standard is expressed as a score, adding good things and subtracting bad things, then most people are on the passing line. The total score is 100 points, and most people are at 60 points.
Some people want to increase everyone's points, and they are good people with the world in mind. Naturally, there are also people who are not so selfless and generous.
For people with a score of 40 or 50, those people feel contempt in their hearts and feel that the other person is not worthy of being with them and not worthy of being compared with them, so they will naturally be more tolerant.
30 points is the limit.
For people with 10 or 20 points, those people will find it incredible. Either they are worried about being led astray and stay away from them, or they think that these people will lower the overall score and want to try to help them, or they think that these people with 10 or 20 points should be
be wiped out.
As for the existence of an organization with an average negative score, those people will find it terrifying. They can't imagine that someone can get a negative score. They want to get rid of it quickly, but at the same time they are afraid of the mentality of getting a negative score.
Not to mention anything else, Gin alone can bring down the overall score of the organization by 80 points... Well, anyway, seeing a group of people with an overall negative score of nearly 100 points makes you feel a little scared, right?
Let’s talk further.
These people don't care about people who score 70 points. They are jealous, but firmly believe that they are not incapable, but just unwilling or not able to do it.
For people with 80 or 90 points, these people find that they may not be able to do it, admire them, and occasionally get worse, and then get angry at their own decline. When the opportunity to make the other party drop points comes,
In order to maintain the balance in their hearts, they will pull that person down, expand the stain to accuse, and try to bring down more points, so that he becomes like everyone else, so that they can comfort themselves: Look, 80 points, 90 points
There are people like me too!
As for people with 100 points, in order to cater to their own fantasy of perfection, they are reluctant to deduct one point and become imperfect, so they become saints.
Even for people who score 99 points, these people feel that it is a shortcoming, an uncomfortable shortcoming, and they want to exaggerate their contribution and try to make up for that point.
Of course, there are some people who try to raise everyone's average score, and there are also people who try to lower everyone's score. There are people who are compassionate, and there are people who are resentful no matter which score they get.
It’s more complicated than the human heart.
But generally speaking, in Joshua's specific group, Joshua was the one who scored over 80 points. When they found that they could pull him down, many people did it.
'Pull him down, he is just like us. When I face him, I will no longer feel dirty.'
'What I can't do, he can't do either. Yes, he's not that good...'
"I have not been abandoned or punished by God. He has, which means that he is worse than me. That's great. The previous feeling that he was superior to me was just an illusion..."
'Everyone doesn't like him. If I show that I don't like him even more, everyone will agree and praise me...'
They didn't really think Joshua was unforgivable, they were just venting their evil thoughts, finding comfort for themselves, joining in the fun, and gaining attention.
"...I saw their faces clearly. They are as hypocritical and despicable as Jehovah," Joshua was still telling. "I feel that the suffering and anger I have endured are not worth it. I don't understand what I have done for so many years."
For what, what I did, I began to hate everything in my past, those words, and even the name Joshua..."
