“Be vigilant! And what I say to you – I say to all: Be vigilant!”.
To humble the foolish thought: “There is no such thing – catechesis – in the Orthodox Church, so it is not necessary, otherwise God would not allow millions to be mistaken! And for centuries no one has catechized: so as it is now – everything is normal, blessed by God! This is happening in the Orthodox Church, and “the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth”. God will not allow anything wrong in the church – He will immediately reveal it!!!”. (Immediately note that “the Church” is the pillar and ground of the truth, not “the church” is the pillar and ground of the truth, “the Church” is the Body of Christ, full of the Holy Spirit, not “the church”!). This satanic thought – “Could patriarchs, bishops, theologians (whole “Theological Academies” with professors, doctors, candidates of theology), church authorities (“apostolic successors”), councils, synods be in heresy, in delusion?! No, of course – God will not allow it, He is the Head of the Church and rules in it! And could millions of believers, baptized be in heresy, in delusion, in the spirit of the antichrist?! No, no and no again – God will not allow it, He will certainly enlighten the church people! It is clear that the heretic is “you” and those like you “modernists”, but you are a pitiful handful of “marginals”, and we are millions: archbishops, priests, theologians, monks, believers (who are ready to go through fire and water for “Orthodox faith”). So, as millions do – so it is Orthodox, and as the majority believes – so it is true!” – needs to be humbled, otherwise, you will not be able to hear, understand simple elementary truths. And to humble and subjugate your mind in obedience to the Truth, we will first prescribe two pills-thoughts, which need to be taken until your proud, self-confident, unreasonable, blind mind humbles, and then it will be the turn of catechesis therapy. Know that there are not many prophets, and generally Christians – a small flock, not millions (we testified and testify about this, but unfortunately, there is no one to listen, there are no obedient ones).
We will talk about the narrow path of bearing the cross (following Christ), so that no one says that this (catechesis, the cross-struggle, effort, vigilance…) is not necessary, you can live simpler, more comfortably – as millions of “Christians” live. Therefore, to make this thought (of the need and necessity of the Cross for salvation) you at least slightly grasp, at least not blaspheme, we will try to reduce your self-confidence (selfish, proud inflammation-arrogance) with these two medications-pills-thoughts (of course, if you start taking them, and hear-assimilate at least a hundredth part of the active substance-truth).
The devil teaches, and his children repeat: “The Lord loves, so He will not allow evil, heresy, delusion… do not worry, live in peace…”. But in fact, because God is Love, because the Lord Loves, He allows anything (even to crucify God, the Son of God – what could be more terrible and evil than this?!) – He preserves and respects the freedom of free beings! Where there is no freedom, there is no Love! And God is Love! Do not deceive ourselves! And do not listen to satanic blasphemy and heresy! Love is to allow (and give power to) the enemy to crucify you; to lay down your life for your enemies (for those who hate you, persecute you, curse you); to lay down your life for your neighbor and from him to suffer death! This is what the Church speaks of when it speaks of Love! And the pagans use that word to indicate pleasure, selfish, passionate enjoyment, comfort, so they listen to the antichrist(s) and like this “theology”! Be vigilant!
The only thing that God will never allow is for the unprepared, uncatechized to receive the Holy Spirit, for the proud, unrepentant to enter the Kingdom of God, that is, to become a member of the Body of Christ, that is, to become a Christian! This God-Love will never allow (because He loves His creation inexpressibly)! Even if baptized thousands of times, anointed, take communion… – if the person is uncatechized, unprepared (incapable) to receive the Holy Spirit – God does not perform the Sacrament, “does not operate”, does not give the Holy Spirit: if the “patient” is unprepared, then “people baptize you (perform the rite of the sacrament), but the Holy Spirit will not baptize (and the Holy Spirit is not given)!”. This is the only thing (that the uncatechized, unprepared partakes of the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God), that God will never allow, because He is Love! And everything else: He allowed, allows, will allow (until all repent and God is all in all, when no one will be able to sin – not because God will take away the freedom and power to desire and act, but because everyone will Love, freely-voluntarily become slaves of God and receive adoption in due time and become in God Humble Love by Grace; and Love-Humility has no power neither to sin nor to desire sin; every hypostasis-desire will be full of one thing – Love, that is, Other Hypostases).
