Therefore, assuming the truth of this axiom (patriarchs do not kill…) we will show the truth of the theorem in two ways. The first way: we will show that if one (any) member of the Body cannot kill, then it is forbidden for all others as well! The second way: we will show who bishops, presbyters are in the Church, what kind of ministry this is. And then it will become obvious: if they (the popes) cannot kill, then it is even more unacceptable for other members of the Church to kill!
Second method, 1. First, we will make an important remark. We will not be able to prove anything by this sub-method (II, 1), as well as by the previous method I, if the Church is not a catholic (universal) reality, that is, not the Body (Whole), not the Eucharist – not the Mystery of the Life of the Holy Trinity, the mystery of absolute unity-perichoresis: I in You, You in Me, We in them (Christians, members of the Body of the Church), they in Us; we will come to him (Christian) and make our home with him (in the core of the hypostasis of the Christian (a member of the Body of personal, hypostatic communication in the Holy Spirit)). Let us remind you that the dogmas of the Church are axioms-facts, they are logical constants (invariants) that retain their absolute (unchanged) meaning in any coordinate system (in any non-sinful worldview model of reality)! The Church is One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic!
This is a fact (the Church’s knowledge of the Truth), not a hypothesis, not an assumption or agreement! Therefore, the Church is Holy and Catholic – this is an axiom-fact. The Church is Holy – this is the Holy Eucharist, it is the fullness of the Holy Spirit, it is the Kingdom of Heaven. The Church is Catholic (Universal) – this is the Body, and the essence of corporality, the wholeness of organs (hypostatic members of the Body) lies in the fact that they are in personal communication, in connections with each other according to the principle of the Life of the Holy Trinity – simultaneous absolute unity and absolute uniqueness of each hypostasis – all are in all (perichoresis of hypostases: I in You, and You in Me…; all that is Mine is Yours, and Yours is Mine). Heretics of the UOC KP claim that the Church is not a body, that it is not catholic, not universal, not holy (they claim that Christians are sinners, that is, that Christians commit mortal sins!?) and teach (and live like that! More precisely: they teach as they live), that in the church everyone is for himself! It is enough to distort one dogma (or one iota of a dogma) – the whole building of Orthodoxy will collapse into the abyss of heresy, all dogmas are distorted (they incorrectly point to the Truth, to the Path to deification). For example, Roman Catholics distorted one dogma about the Holy Spirit, as a result of which in Catholicism there is (almost) no teaching that would not be heretical to one degree or another (about God, about sin, about salvation, about sacraments, about the church, about the pope, etc. – everything is distorted, twisted) – ask Alexei Ilyich Osipov (or me by email) for arguments. Therefore, in the proof we will take into account the axiom-fact: the Church is Holy and Catholic!
First, let’s say something about the property of the body, corporeality, what it means to be a member (organ) of the body. Until I understood what a body is, what a hypostasis is, what a personality is, I was always surprised and considered it a great injustice when the whole person was punished for a crime, and not the body part that committed the crime: the index finger pressed the trigger of a firearm and killed a person – cut off the index finger and judge according to the law, why should innocent organs suffer; insulted with a word – cut off the tongue
and into prison; fornicated, committed adultery, raped – cut off the criminal and immediately to the electric chair, because even the strictest regime correctional colony will not help, will not correct… And pagans correct me that, firstly, the other organs and members of the body are not so innocent: the legs carried the body to the crime scene, the heart pumped blood, the lungs supplied oxygen, the eyes looked for the victim, the brain calculated the optimal way to achieve the goal… – all organs and members of the body (including the smallest living cell) were involved in the crime; secondly, we judge not something, but someone, the one who hypostatized this body (and soul; psychosomatic energies of human nature). So, one organ sinned, and the whole person is called a sinner: one organ fornicated, committed adultery, raped, and the whole person is called a murderer; killed with a fist, foot, or pressed the trigger of a machine gun with a finger, or pressed the launch button (of a carrier rocket) of an atomic bomb, or dropped bombs on people from a plane – the murderer is not a separate organ, but the murderer is the whole body (all organs), the whole person is responsible, bears penance (punishment) for the murder. So all members of the body fulfill the will of the hypostasis, or fulfill their natural functions (natural will) with the permission of the hypostasis (choosing will of the hypostasis – see Part I); in this example-analogy about those who have lost their minds, are insane, we are not talking about now. Therefore, Christ is the head, the hypostasis of the Body of the Church. Is Christ a sinner?! What blasphemy to ask such a thing! Christ is Holy, He is God, the Divine Hypostasis of the God-human reality, therefore the Church is Holy, not sinful! Therefore, Christ does not sin, so Christians, members of His Body, do not sin! They may still be not fully healed (not yet deified to the extent of being a hypostasis of the Church: the Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos), that is, sinners (in the sense of not yet reaching the fullness of knowledge of the Holy Trinity, which is accessible to created hypostases – to be a god, one of the Trinity by grace). Christians – those who belong to Christ – no longer sin (do not act against the will of God), because if Christians sinned, Christ would be a sinner or the Church would not be the Body. But since Christ does not sin and the Church is the Body, Christians do not sin!!! And those who sin are not members of the Body of Christ, not members of the Church, that is, not Christ’s, not Christians!!! What is the sinfulness of Christians (who have not yet reached deification, like the Mother of God)?
