(Unfortunately, they do not know that a good deed is only a deed done for Christ’s sake, for the sake of acquiring the Holy Spirit!!!).
Therefore, I say again: how can a person who does not know Christ recognize the antichrist?! How can a person who knows neither the Scripture (an Orthodox guide to the Truth, to the path of acquiring the Truth, the Holy Spirit, the laws, and order of spiritual life) nor the Power of God recognize the path of deception, the path of the antichrist?! No way! Therefore, “Christians” will accept (and have already accepted!) the antichrist they are waiting for! If “Christians” were Christians (or at least Orthodox catechumens), they would know the Risen Christ, Who is with us always, they would communicate with Him in the Holy Spirit (especially in the Eucharist!). The Jews crucified Christ the Messiah, Whom they were waiting for! Today’s Jewish synagogues of the antichrist (so-called “Christians,” Orthodox churches) also crucify Christ and await the second coming… of the antichrist! God-Love allows everything! Whoever has ears to hear, let him understand!
The Church preaches not a teaching or a religion (a collection of canons-laws-commandments and some forms of piety-religiosity – pleasing-flattering some capricious, unpredictable deity that may show mercy, or may punish… therefore, it must be pleased-appeased with kebabs and aromas of incense and fragrant oils…) – but the Person of Jesus Christ! (“We preach Christ crucified… – this is foolishness to the “wise,” and a stumbling block to religious people”). Christianity is a Marriage with Christ, it is life for Christ, in Christ. This is the correct spiritual life in the Holy Spirit (and for catechumens – for the sake of acquiring the Holy Spirit). Asceticism in the Church is the struggle for fidelity to Christ (not to the code of ethical laws-commandments), against everything that separates me from Christ, from the Holy Spirit, the struggle to always be in the Holy Spirit. The goal of life is to acquire the Holy Spirit – Love for all and everything! Where there is asceticism, but there is no Christ (the goal of uniting with Christ), where the goal is to become passionless, a miracle worker, a seer… – there is delusion and the end of such a run-feat – destruction and satanic pride. The main thing is to acquire not the gifts, but Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit: “if I have all the spiritual gifts (see 1 Cor. 12), but have not love – I am nothing (see 1 Cor. 13)!”, “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me!”, “…that I may attain Christ, as He has already attained me”!
Do not forget: God is our Loving, Merciful Father!
