So, when I (a Christian or an Orthodox catechumen) go to elections (of course, if my vote matters), I (already) do not wallow in evil, I do not choose a criminal among criminals (in relation to me – the last sinner and the greatest and only criminal – all are good and all are benefactors; and the main argument in favor of the fact that everything is good and all are benefactors is not that I am the greatest sinner and the only criminal, but that God is Love and every moment I am Divinely Loved by God-Love!), I (already) do not “defile” myself (my Christian (which knows the truth-Truth) conscience), but on the contrary, I become better, strive for the better, the kinder, care for (even more) good for everyone. Therefore, you (already) choose not between criminals, but between benefactors; and among benefactors, you have the right (and first of all, the duty) to choose the best specialist, an expert in their field (if this benefactor is also “holy,” moral, polite, does not swear, does not cheat on his wife, etc. – all this is welcomed, but first of all, professional abilities matter; because if a “saint,” “miracle worker,” “good man” sits at the steering wheel of a bus to transport people (and he has never driven a car), or takes a scalpel in his hands to operate on the sick (and he was in the operating room only once… when his appendix was removed; and he also saw something in the movies…)… then the result of such “charity” is obvious. By the way, a loving person is always responsible, so he will not undertake a task in which he is not competent, or when there is someone better (a specialist) than him, he will always refuse a service that exceeds his measure and competence!).
Therefore, when in Ukraine in 2019 “Christians” said that they refuse to participate in elections (president, parliament, etc.) because their “Christian” conscience (awareness) does not allow it, they allegedly have no choice, – this is at least madness (and blindness) and delusion! Let us remind you that throughout life we always choose: to go or not to go, to do or not to do, to say or not to say, etc., and we always choose (try to choose) better, more appropriate… (So the question is whether we are responsible in our choice, what we are guided by in it… To throw away the steering wheel in a dangerous, emergency situation – this is complete irresponsibility; with elections, the situation is similar: I don’t care who will be president, where the car (state) will go, in which (value) direction (strengthening sovereignty, national identity, Europe, NATO or the horde alliance and heads stuffed with gilded cotton of Soviet propaganda), I don’t care – this is irresponsibility in the billionth degree). So, people always choose: socks, shirts, tomatoes, cucumbers, a teacher, a doctor (they don’t run naked – they buy some clothes, they don’t starve – they buy something more or less edible, and they don’t endure illness, pain, but still trust some doctor (dentist, surgeon, etc.) – they choose the best of what is available), but here to choose a president – and they (“saints”) have no choice: only nothings, that is, nothing, emptiness… (Although indeed on 21.04.2019, there was no choice – it was unequivocal. But still, it sounds creepy: there was no choice, and they (73% + those who are against everyone (nihilists), offended, dissatisfied with everything, and those who do not even know what they want…) passionately, aggressively, with anger, rage… chose!?).
So, the statement-position: “I do not participate in elections (21.04.2019), so as not to choose between evils…” has nothing to do with the Christian worldview. This is an anti-Christian area, and the fruits of such criminal activity (or inaction) are the rule of antichrists with the corresponding fruits. An example in the flesh: the fruits of the elections on 21.04.2019 in Ukraine, and only a year of service of the servants has passed… And the Pharisees (mad and blind – see Matthew 23) did not vote, so as not to defile themselves (by choosing between greater and lesser evil…) and to eat Easter bread with a clear conscience (by the way, Easter 2019 was the following Sunday after the elections. Coincidence?! I don’t think so!). The theorem is proven!
Let’s show that this position is not Christian in another way. For this, we will use the following theorems-statements (proofs see in previous parts):
– If you are not humble – you are not a Christian (not a catechumen)!
– If you are not grateful (for everything) – you are not a Christian (not a catechumen)!
– If you are not merciful (to everyone) – you are not a Christian (not a catechumen)!
Christianity is a graceful triune state: humility + gratitude + mercy (announcement – ascetic feat in acquiring humility, gratitude, and mercy, which are gifts of the Holy Spirit). So, if there is no humility, gratitude, or mercy (humility is unthinkable without gratitude and mercy…) – then there is no Christianity (or Orthodox announcement). Let’s check this position (“not choosing between evils…”, revealed, in particular, on 21.04.2019) for conformity to these three states. Obviously, in this position (the madness of which we are exposing) there is no:
