    When Fang Bingsheng was feeling sentimental, he heard a loud bang from the pulpit, which brought Fang Bingsheng back to reality from the past and the sadness of the death of the gods. He raised his head in shock and saw that Wang Xintai had put on his robe again.  He was stamping on the wooden platform with an angry face and waving a piece of paper in his hand.

    Because of his anger, the wrinkles on his nose bulged, pushing up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose. Wang Xintai, with a distorted face, pointed at the paper in his hand and shouted loudly: "I must say, this article in "The Christian Post"  The headline report "30 Years of Suburban Christians" is all Satan's nonsense. It is completely embellishing foreigners and taking away all the credit of us faithful servants who silently serve God!

    However, even if this report is renamed "30 Years of the Southern Church in the United States," it is still openly false testimony!  There is no revelation of God's will for the Song Dynasty, no analysis of the relationship between Caesar worship and political dependence, and no explanation that these churches are copying the Catholic structure and trying to steal the souls of us Christians. This is a trick of Satan, not God.  Records of the rise of great power in the Song Dynasty.  May my brother repent!  "

    These words made Fang Bingsheng dumbfounded: Why did Wang Xintai suddenly attack the Southern Church?  These large churches are basically localized and have extremely loose organizational structures. How can they still label foreigners and Catholics?

    But what Wang Xintai said later made Fang Bingsheng understand. He yelled: "This kind of Christian newspaper has eyes that grow to its forehead! Why don't you write about Shili Gou? Are you looking down on me? I am the first to preach here.  I founded Qiufeng Church. There are 10,000 registered believers. If it doesn¡¯t write about me or Qiufeng Church, what kind of ¡°30 Years of Suburban Christians¡± is that?¡±

    Ten thousand people registered?  Then the actual number of people in this church should be around 500. Fang Bingsheng nodded secretly and thought: Do you think the newspaper didn't like you?  Are you getting angry and jumping over the wall in a hurry?  This Wang Xintai has such high ambitions that he actually wants to compete with the established big churches. But is this competition for fame also a Christian?

    Over there, Wang Xintai looked very angry. He stamped on the platform and made a loud noise. The wind he stirred up by waving his arms disturbed the surrounding torches.  He was still yelling:

    "Some people say that the Baptist Church is great: they built a church with a bell tower here. I want to say: Was there a church when Jesus preached? Was there a Western mechanical bell? The Son of Man said: Birds have nests, and they don¡¯t even have a place to lay their heads.  None! This is fetishism and money worship!

    Some people say that these churches in the southern United States are great, and virtue belongs to them.  The examiners who set the questions for the imperial examination were theirs.  This is simply blasphemy.  What Jesus said: ¡®Render to God what is God¡¯s, and render to Caesar what is Caesar¡¯s¡¯. To be worthy of virtue is to kneel down and worship Caesar.  They were the eunuchs who licked the toes of the imperial court. Who asked them to accept the land approved by the imperial court?  Who asked the court to encourage them to build schools?  Who gave them the monopoly on imperial examination questions?  I say, brothers, this is going in the direction of Catholicism!  This is against the Bible!  The church should be self-reliant, self-propagating and self-supporting, just like my Qiufeng Church!  "

    "Are you jealous? If you don't cultivate virtue, how can you succeed in the Western imperial examinations?" Fang Bingsheng looked at the crazy elder in shock.

    "Now, Qilihe Baptist Church has a plan to set up a church-school-integrated elementary school here. This is a trick of Satan! If your children go there, they will not learn to truly worship God. What they learn will be  It¡¯s the same thing as false Christians: worshiping money, worshiping power, and **, and you will go to hell in the last judgment! Moreover, false churches like the Baptist Church will not last long, and the church propagation work in the Song Dynasty will be done by people like our Qiufeng Church  If such a church stands up for itself, one day the monopoly on imperial examinations will be broken, and we children taught by independent churches will always become officials, scholars, and experts!"

    Having said this, Wang Xintai crumpled up the newspaper in his hand, threw it into the fire barrel, swallowed, finally calmed down, and said with a smile: "Our church also plans to set up a primary school, and preparations are in full swing. It will be opened next year at the most.  Class. We are all old brothers and sisters, and we all know that only in Qiufeng Church can we get the best and purest pastoral care. Therefore, I request that school-age children in the church not be sent to other schools. They will be taught in other places.  Damn your children, our Shili Gou is a place to demonstrate God¡¯s grace, and our children must be children of God from an early age.¡±

    "So you scolded the Baptist primary school because you regarded it as a competitor." Fang Bingsheng suddenly realized.

    "Let me tell you, I am not a little bit hostile to big churches like the Baptist Church. In fact, it is my basic belief and service position to be against big churches like the Baptist Church!" Wang Xintai was a bit unsatisfied. He pointed at the new Northern Baptist Church.  In the direction of the church, he gnashed his teeth and screamed with a ferocious look on his face.

    Several believers applauded enthusiastically and said Amen. Most of the believers were at a loss. Fang Bingsheng in the back row could not shrink his eyes back: He also reads the Bible and knows that the core of the Bible lies in love: love God and love people. Who would have thought that in this  In the slums?Okay.

    Hearing Fang Bingsheng say that he beat Teacher Tan, Zhou Lizai felt helpless, stretched out his hands and said: "We kicked the bonfire, smashed the lanterns, it was pitch black, and we beat them all indiscriminately, and the people from Qiufeng Church still shouted something like 'Satan'"  ', 'heresy', 'lackey' and so on, the scene was so chaotic that I didn't know who to beat."

    "Why did this happen?" Fang Bingsheng asked doubtfully.

    Zhou Lizai sighed and said: "Teacher Tan and Elder Wang had a falling out. I heard they were accusing each other of doctrine and corruption. Teacher Tan is a talented and young man who quit the church last month."  The preacher went it alone. Teacher Tan took away a large number of believers. How about you watch Qiufeng Church preach in the dark and midnight? That was forced by Teacher Tan, and Teacher Tan was the first to do this method."

    "Elder Wang was furious with Teacher Tan. He said that he had robbed his sheep. Teacher Tan was a wolf that had mixed up with the sheep. He was Satan. He asked me to destroy the place and teach Teacher Tan a lesson. It would be best to drive him away forever.  Walk."

    "Ah?" Fang Bingsheng came to his senses after a while and said, "Is there still such a thing?"

    Then he pointed at Zhou Lizai's nose and said: "The imperial examination will be held soon. Don't cause trouble. If something happens, your brother Tianen will be implicated. It will be too late for you to regret."

    Zhou Lizai lowered his head in shame: "Yes, yes, they gave me a lot of money, and they kept begging me. I originally didn't want to beat someone like Teacher Tan, but Ibut I left the abbot."  The temple is still there, my younger brother is in his academy, and I have to bow my head under the eaves."

    "What kind of church is this? It looks like a gang." Fang Bingsheng snorted and walked towards the moon gate of the academy with his hands behind his back.

    "Hey, sir, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and the church is also a human being, isn't it? People have to commit sins, otherwise Jesus' death would not have been in vain?" Zhou Lizai followed with a smile.  (To be continued)
