The rite of the Liturgy (a common cause, performed by one mouth and one heart), the visible flesh of the Sacrament of the Eucharist (the faithful, bread and wine, and the rite of prayer), the order of the Lord’s Table is built in the form of a dialogue: the presbyter (= bishop) – the faithful, the people of God, the royal priesthood (one for all and all for one!). The presbyter prays in the assembly on behalf of and for the entire people of God, and the royal priesthood (the faithful) responds: Amen! Truly so! Let it be so (in a wishful, pleading, not commanding form. The prayer of the Church – it is humble openness to the Holy Spirit! And pagans, always performing magical actions and uttering incantations, – they command, order, force). Presbyter: Peace to all – faithful: And to your spirit; Presbyter: We thank the Lord – faithful: It is fitting and right…, and so all prayers and blessings take place in the form of a dialogue: either the presbyter prays, and the church in silence overhears, to what at the end says “amen”, or the presbyter calls to prayer and the whole church (and he among them) prays (for example, The Creed or “Our Father…”, or other hymns). Therefore, all the prayers of the rite of the Liturgy, with which the presbyter prays on behalf of the community, should be voiced by the presbyter so that the faithful (in whom the physical hearing is all right) could hear and understand all the prayers, that is, could overhear them, and at the end seal them with the word “amen”. When the people sing, the presbyter either remains silent or sings with the people, but in no way recites the prayers of the rite! The only prayer that the presbyter can read quietly is the prayer with which he prays to Jesus Christ (unlike all others, which are addressed to the Father; the prayer before reading the Gospel is also addressed to Christ) for himself during the singing by the people of God
“Cherubic song”. Although even here, perhaps, it would be better for the faithful to overhear (hear) this prayer (its words), and pray for the presbyter, and each time renew in memory who performs the sacrament: “You, Christ, are the One who brings and is brought, accepts and is distributed…”.
When pagans came to the church and brought (smuggled) into it (not leaving repentance outside the Church) the baggage of pagan, religious habits, prejudices, pre-judgments, then the Liturgy under the influence of paganism turned from the Table in the Kingdom of Heaven into a pagan mystery, the presbyter turned from the one who oversees the order and rite of the Lord’s Table into a priest, a priest, consecrated in “mysteries”, which others cannot know, the temple from the chamber, in which the people of God recline with Christ at His Table, turned into a pagan temple, a shrine with its divisions into various compartments: for profanes (not consecrated in the “mysteries of the priesthood”) and for the consecrated, priesthood and yet a certain caste (for example, women are not allowed to enter the altar!?); there appeared objects that cannot be touched by the unconsecrated (for example, the altar in the altar!?) and many other senseless pagan taboos (prohibitions), divisions into castes (those who can do something and those who are forbidden – and this is not about pedagogy (although it is hard to justify it), but about dogmatics!??). Already in Byzantium in the VII century (approximately) there appears the theological treatise “Celestial Hierarchy”, signed by the name of Dionysius the Areopagite, one of the tasks of which was to prove (or show, substantiate the pagan practice that had developed in the church under the pressure of the secular machine called the Byzantine, or as it called itself, Roman empire), that priests are mediators between God and the people (if so, then everything that the high priests, priests say, is true. If the emperor wanted to convey the “correct” thought to the people, he knew through whom it could be done – through the priests, whose voice – the voice of God (as pagans mistakenly teach)!?? When writing these words, an example immediately came to mind and through the roar of explosions in Donbass from “Grad” installations, brought to Ukraine along with bandits from Russia with the “blessing” of the most canonical “patriarch”!? Why does this “most-holy” “patriarch” is protected by the FSB, and perhaps because this unfortunate (I say in the flesh!) creature, like no one else through his accomplices-priests can convey to the darkness of the most canonical “correct” thought, expressed by PTN PN..13, and will suggest or order what to do and what to choose, or whom to kill, having intimidated by “grace”, which he can deprive, power given to him(!??)! Therefore, the Patriarch “K” PTN PN.. protects him, because who else will help him so much, if not the ROC (and its branch UOC MP) and the chief of this satanic organization “K”!? Similarly, the church was destroyed in the Roman Empire).”
“So, the presbyter began to be called a priest!? Like the pagan priests!? And God’s people are no longer priests?! (‘But you [Christians – V.A.] are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy’). Is it no longer Christ who serves, performs the Sacrament, but the priest-priest (see above the difference between the Church and religion)!? Paganism with its mysteries and magic under the pressure of the empire (which is not at all interested in the truth and freedom that Christians live by!) ‘prevailed’.
