New Year has come. We are happy and hope it will be a good year for us. I hope too. I hope we will change, we will become better than we were. We will become good people. We will love our neighbors as ourselves. "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead". We must change if we want to have happy future. Happy New Year!

Tolerance how we understand it is evil tolerance. We want justify sin by tolerance but we don't want to think that thus we perpetrate even more sin. God is not tolerant to satan. Why does a human think that he can justify what God can not? Of course, a human thinks there is no God and he is the king of nature and everything is permitted. And this is his fatal flaw. People should remember about Sodom and Gomorrah. And above all, they have to believe. To believe God is to believe what God says, to be true.

Dormition of the Mother of God In Orthodoxy and Catholicism, in the language of the scripture, death is often called a "sleeping" or "falling asleep". According to Orthodox and Eastern Catholic tradition Mary, having spent her life after Pentecost supporting and serving the nascent Church, was living in the house of the Apostle John, in Jerusalem, when the Archangel Gabriel revealed to her that her death would occur three days later. The apostles, scattered throughout the world, are said to have been miraculously transported to be at her side when she died. Mary had been buried in Gethsemane, according to her request. Her body was gone, leaving a sweet fragrance. An apparition is said to have confirmed that Christ had taken her body to heaven after three days to be reunited with her soul. Orthodox theology teaches that the Theotokos has already undergone the bodily resurrection which all will experience at the Second coming, and stands in heaven in that glori...

What's happened to Man when he ate the Apple with the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Why did he transformed from God's man into a beast? What is this apple? May be it was the poison, or something else. I dont know. The truth in that the Man has changed. Look back! Who do you see? Do you see people or wild beasts? I have some questions and I don't know where I can find the answers.

The Transfiguration of Jesus.  The Transfiguration is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels. This miracle is unique among others that appear in the Canonical gospels, in that the miracle happens to Jesus himself. Thomas Aquinas considered the Transfiguration "the greatest miracle" in that it complemented baptism and showed the perfection of life in Heaven. In Christian teachings, the Transfiguration is a pivotal moment, and the setting on the mountain is presented as the point where human nature meets God: the meeting place for the temporal and the eternal, with Jesus himself as the connecting point, acting as the bridge between heaven and earth.

Pentecost 13  If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2  If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. 3  If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing. 4  Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5  doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6  doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it wi...

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". This is not fiction. This is our history. And a human who doesn't understand it is an illiterate human. You cannot be free from God because God is your father, your flesh and blood. You cannot reject from yourself. Life without God is death.

In the Hebrew Bible, Sodom was a city destroyed by God because of the evil of its inhabitants. I don't think that God will be tolerate New Sodom. I think a new war is a matter of time. Unfortunately, people begin to remember that they God's children and not Sodom's ones only when they suffer. We are writing the bloody history with their own hands.

O death, I will be thy plagues, O gra v e, I will be thy destruction!  

Blessed is the man that doth not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. For he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that will bring forth her fruits in due season: whose leaf shall not fade: so whatsoever he shall do, shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but as the chaff, which the wind driveth away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.                                                         ...

Some time we will be live in the better world, but for this we have to change our attitude to life. Today we live like the prodigal son  from bible. It remains only to wait when our resources run out. It's interesting, who will give us shelter then?

"Offspring of vipers, who has  forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?  Produce therefore fruit worthy of repentance. "  (Matt. 3:8)

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose  under the heavens: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down,  and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a  time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones  together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from  embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a  time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence,  and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a  time of peace.
