First method: We will build it in the form of rhetorical questions and obvious (elementary) answers, without neglecting, of course, the laws of logic. So, can Jesus Christ kill someone?! Did Jesus Christ kill anyone?! Did the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ, bless anyone to kill?! The answer is unequivocal: no, Christ cannot kill, did not kill, does not kill, and does not bless to kill!!! And Christ is the head of the Body of the Church! Therefore, Christians, members of the Body of the Church, do not kill and do not bless anyone to kill! The members of the Body fulfill the will of the Hypostasis, the Head of the Body – Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if Christ does not kill, then all of Christ’s followers (Christians, that is, those in whom the will of the Father is realized by the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist of the Son) cannot and do not want to kill anyone because the desires of Christians are Christ’s, the power (and inability to commit sin) is Christ’s – the grace of the Holy Spirit. Christians have the Spirit of Christ and are taught and led by Him! Therefore, Christ does not kill, and Christians do not kill: “I have come not to kill (destroy) souls, but to save!” One member of the body killed – the whole body killed! And Christ cannot be a murderer! Therefore, Christians do not kill and do not bless killing (the disciples of Christ asked, burning with zeal: “Do you want us to call down fire from heaven on the Samaritans – the heretics?!” But God Jesus Christ did not bless, but forbade it!!!). In this sequence of questions and answers, one obvious trivial question remains open: Is the Church (Eucharist) the Body, or are the members of the Church (Christians) members of the Body in connections of corporeality-catholicity, or is the Church a heap of individuals separated, alienated from each other (that is, is the Church the Body or a pile of selfish sand grains)?!! Heretics of the UOC KP assert, to justify their heresy (a satanic, hellish way of existence), that the Church is not the Body, but a reality in which each is for himself (this is evident in the UOC KP at every step in everything – everything they touch crumbles like dry sand)!?? Continue proving the theorem yourselves – that is, the theorem is proven, and you draw conclusions and implement them in life-repentance!
Second method: We will also build it in the form of rhetorical questions: Can the patriarchs of Orthodox local churches kill people?! On a holy war?! On a defensive, just war?! And now, before reading further, stop and answer these rhetorical questions yourself. For accuracy of the answer, ask your spiritual father, maybe some professor of theology, or even the patriarch himself, if you have access to such respected persons. When you have the final answer (yes! or no! or under certain conditions, etc.), then read this note carefully further! Everyone I asked answered unequivocally: NO! And some zealots of “Orthodoxy” answered with anger: what blasphemy (sacrilege) it is not only to say such a thing but even to think about it?! The answer “NO!” is formally correct! Why formally? Because when you start asking: why “no!”, 99.9…% of the answers will be incorrect, heretical (for example, can Orthodox priests (popes) kill people in a defensive, just war? – No! Why? Because today the dollar is 25 UAH!?? Such insane (in essence) argumentation of their heresy by priests-heretics of the UOC KP – see below for an analysis of some heretical absurdities). I ask you again: are you 100% sure that bishops, presbyters cannot kill people?! No?! Therefore, if it is unthinkable to think about patriarchs, then even more so about those whom they (“hierarchy” of service: bishops, presbyters) serve, wash their feet, kneel before them (see the rite of washing the feet of the faithful (“laypeople”) by a bishop on Holy Thursday) – about all other members of the Church whom these last servants serve!!! Therefore, if patriarchs cannot kill people, then even more so, those to whom they (the clerics) serve cannot kill people! Therefore, Christians do not kill and do not bless killing (under any circumstances: neither in a holy, liberating war, nor in a just defensive war, nor…)! The theorem is proven.
You say that we have not convinced you that if patriarchs (and all clerics) are forbidden to kill, then all other members of the Body of Christ are also forbidden to kill! Okay, let’s try to describe this proof in more detail. Therefore, the axiom-fact, which you, I hope, agree with: bishops, presbyters cannot kill people, and whoever kills will be excommunicated from the Church (commits a mortal sin, the consequence of which is falling away from the Church; more precisely: a mortal sin is a symptom (consequence) of falling away from the Church, that is, at the time of committing the mortal sin (see Part II), the person was already not in the Church)! And if you do not agree with this axiom, then this proof method will not help you (will not convince you of the truth of the prophecy) – go straight to the next methods.
