for example, "The Mission", the winner of the Palme d'Or in the main competition unit of the 39th Cannes Film Festival, I don't know who translated it into "The Floating of War", probably related to the market. The Mission can be church, mission, preaching, preaching, the soil is a little bit of soil, after all, it is faithful to the main theme. Of course it might not look good. Director Roland Joffe actually proposed a classic proposition of liberation theology: In order to usher in the coming of the kingdom of God, in the face of the apparent injustice that is taking place, can Christians use violence?
The three current Occupy Central sons, the democrats who are on a "relay hunger strike" in the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and believers of "Harmony, Reason, Feifei" (as the name suggests, peaceful, rational, non-violent, non-vulgar language) should watch this film carefully. Rodosa, a former mercenary and slave trader who turned his way to the Society of Jesus and joined the Society of Jesus, had better give up his "contract to God" and fight for the Guarani with a sword, but Father Gabir refused to bless him. Two servants of God hold two very different sets of values. One is of course the classic "Put your sword in its sheath, and whoever moves the sword will die by the sword" (Matthew 26:52); the other is not obvious. Did Jesus outright deny the legitimacy of the use of violence, or did he actually prescribe violent revolutions that were just obscure in the scriptures?
As we all know, one of the two totems of liberation theology in Latin America is the Cuban revolutionary fighter Che Guevara. People are very familiar with his story. He resolutely abandoned his high-ranking officials and wealth, fell ill and entered Africa and South America to fight guerrillas, and finally died in Bolivia. Another priest Toros, a friend of Gutierrez, also joined the local guerrillas to resist the right-wing government. Army, and was finally brutally killed in the tropical jungle. The greatness of liberation theology lies in the fact that for the first time it explicitly requires the demonstration of the possibility and limit of Christians' class struggle and violent disobedience, that is, as a Christian, "you can close your eyes and not see (self-devotional, hold a group) Heating, escapism), can you close your ears and not listen (revolution at the bottom, violent resistance, participation in suffering)”.
So if you let the audience vote, who do you think should go to heaven and who should go to hell? Don’t simply say, “Only the Lord knows” and put it away. As long as Christians live in the present, they must give a clear answer. My personal opinion is that Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King, Jr., are great; but it is even more difficult for Christian revolutionaries like Sun Wen and Jiang Zhongzheng. The biggest challenge is not "when oppression comes, (Christians) martyrdom peacefully and non-violently (note that it is still "martyrdom" for yourself, not as good as others)"; it is "when you have a knife in your hand, you can kill an enemy. Save tens of thousands, not kill the enemy and innocents die because of you", as a Christian, do you really use the knife or not? Murder or not? The latter choice is obviously more difficult than the former, because "martyrdom" is no longer your business, you have already intervened in the dilemma of "do not kill Boren, Boren will die because of me".
According to liberation theology, class struggle is a fait accompli, visible to the eyes and audible to the ears. Therefore, social revolution is also the only way to go, and it is an objective law that does not depend on human will. Christians welcome the coming of God's Empire, whether it is to carry the "Bible" or the AK47 submachine gun, it is impossible to think about it. And is "peace" really at the heart of Christianity? At least liberation theology is not, and "preference for the poor" is the meaning of the title. With the same sex as vulnerable groups, violence and non-violence are only about formal justice/procedural justice, not substantive justice.
"May the kingdom of God come", the coming of the kingdom of God is not your personal martyrdom, it is as simple as occupying the moral commanding heights. Believers of He Lifeifei, can you say that this is a trivial matter?
