Text for questions 4 and 5
the most underground guy
I know is the devil
Who the hell plays cover
from heavenly songs
With your band formed
just for fallen angels
The audience is on fire
When the festivals happen…
meanwhile God plays
Seesaw on the playground
from heaven with saints
who were once men of sin
suddenly the saints speak
"God plays a cool sound"
and God speaks
"Hold on, I'll roll A heavy sound"
devil's cover band
I think it's already out
The market is watching
It's in the sound that God created
With distorted trumpets
and poisoned harps
whole world will freak out
With the heavy metal of the Lord…

Text for questions 06 to 08
Is it perhaps the style that is used in pulpits today? A style so difficult, a style so affected, a style so found in all art and all nature? This is also a good reason. The style must be very easy and natural. Hence, Christ compared preaching to sowing. Christ compares preaching to sowing, because sowing is an art that has more of nature than art.
Since I speak against modern styles, I want to claim for myself the style of the oldest preacher in the world. And what was he? The oldest preacher in the world was Heaven. Supposed that Heaven is a preacher, it must have sermons and it must have words. And what are these sermons and these words from Heaven?
_ Words are the stars, sermons are their composition, order, harmony and course. The preaching must be like one who sows, and not like one who is tiling or tiling. God did not make heaven in chess of stars, as preachers do the sermon in chess of words. If on the one hand it is white, on the other it must be black; if on the one hand it is day, on the other will it be night? If on the one hand they say light, on the other they will say shadow; if on the one hand they say it went down, on the other they will say it went up. Is it enough that we will not even see two words sermon in peace? Will all of them always have to be on the border with their opposite?(…)
But you will tell me: Father, do not preachers today preach from the Gospel, do they not preach from the sacred scriptures? For how can they not preach the word of God? _This is the evil. They preach God's words, but they don't preach God's Word.
Father Antônio Vieira. Text extracted from the book: Portuguese Literature: from the origins to our days. By Nicola, José – São Paulo: Scipione, 1999 .p.101
