If you are not a member of such a community-parish of mutual care (in Christ), if you do not feed on the food of the people of God – Manna-Eucharist (at least the weekly Bread of subsistence), do not deceive yourself: you are not a Christian, you are not a parishioner, not in the community of the people of God (Christ’s). Therefore, after baptism – you have long been torn apart by the lion that roams, roaring in the wilderness of this age, seeking whom it may devour! No one survives alone in the wilderness of this age! You are either already dead or never were a member of the people of God (never entered into Marriage with Christ, never became a Christian, that is, Christ’s) – you never came out of the Egypt of passions, and had no intention of leaving, and breaking off, breaking away from illicit relations with idols-demons – the lusts of the eyes, the flesh, and the pride – and never intended to! Therefore, your formal baptism (to judgment and condemnation!) is a deception and self-deception (see above for this)!
If you were baptized (crossed the Red Sea and came out with the people of God into the wilderness), you have long since died of hunger if you do not regularly consume Heavenly Manna (Eucharist), which descends at least weekly (every Sunday) on the Parish-Eucharist in the Mystery of the Kingdom of God, and there is no other food in the wilderness (the swine husks of this age do not satisfy Spiritual hunger, do not save from Spiritual death by hunger). The Church testifies that anyone who does not consume the Heavenly Bread (Manna-Eucharist) for three weeks (without a valid reason! For whoever desires God at all times, if unable to taste the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist, partakes of the Kingdom of God – the Holy Spirit in another way; but only on the condition of being unable to be in the Parish) dies, falls away from the Body of the Church! And whoever partakes once a year or a little more often (speaking now according to the flesh! We spoke in detail about what communion is in Part II.), let them not deceive themselves – they are dead (too long (spiritually-deadly) an interval between meals)! Feeding the dead is of no use! First, one must be resurrected in the Mystery of Confession-Repentance-Baptism (and not a formal confession of a report of committed sins, accompanied by sentimental tears of self-pity), and only then partake of the Food-Eucharist for Eternal Life and for the forgiveness of sins! But we are resurrected only in Baptism for the remission of sins, that is, in Marital union with Christ-Church, or the second Baptism (Confession-Repentance for the remission of sins – returning to the Parish-Eucharist: Friendly Eucharistic life with Christ!), and not in a report about the sins committed since last year’s confession-report! Each sacrament is for the forgiveness of sins if it is performed in Christ (in the Parish-Eucharist) and for Christ (Marital fidelity-gratitude-love to Christ the Bridegroom)! Any other motivation for performing sacraments is for judgment and condemnation!
Therefore, if you do not feel yourself the Bride of Christ, the Woman of Christ, – you are not Christ’s, that is, not a Christian! If you are not a member of the Parish, that is, if you are not in Marital-Friendly relations with each member of the parish (or at least not moving in that direction – to accept and love everyone, at least as yourself), – you are not Christ’s, not a Christian! Answer yourself: are you a parishioner – a member of a specific local Christian community?! If so, then ask yourself: what are your relations not only with the priest but with each member of this community – are they Friendly?! More subtle questions can be asked, but I am sure that these are enough for now (all other “subtle” questions via email). And start answering them with your life-repentance – if you are sincere and unpretentious in seeking the Truth, the Lord with His loving providence will arrange everything and bring you to the state of a humble and contrite heart, with which you can receive the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, Happiness!
Considering human weakness, let us give a short word to a few Witnesses (God-seers) who know the Church (Parish-Eucharist) as the Body – Wholeness, Catholic Hypostatic Loving Being:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread (in the Eucharist – V. A.), and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people” (Acts 2:42-47).
“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power, the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need” (Acts 4:32-35).
