What kind of Christianity can be discussed where there is no humility, no gratitude, no mercy?!! Anyone who has a mind to think a little: think! Be vigilant! Discern! (And for those who say: let it be anyone, just not this one, – the candidate has long been ready, though he is “no one,” “anyone,” but that is even better for the puppeteers, ideologists-scenario writers). The theorem is proven!
***
Since these two proofs may be too difficult to understand (because if obvious things are not understood, then the madness is very great, and the delusion is no less), let’s give a few simple proofs, in the flesh (for the sake of great human weakness).
A brother says: I will not choose between evils (greater, lesser) – my Christian conscience (awareness, understanding-knowledge, teaching by which I live) does not allow! I hope there is no need to prove the fact that there is greater evil and lesser evil. “Get angry, but do not sin”, “express anger, rage, dislike, judgment with insulting words” and “implement anger-rage-hatred in murder” – this is different evil, which leads to different suffering (measure of “punishment”, “by my deeds”) of the criminal (for example, see Matthew 5: 21-22). Let us recall simple truths: this world lies in evil and lives in it sinners-godless people, who by definition are evil, criminals (“… you, being evil…” – see Matthew 7: 11; “God, cleanse me a sinner, for I have done nothing good before You”), – what the world is, such are its inhabitants, or rather, vice versa, what the inhabitants are, such is the dwelling (the world plunged into evil through man, the sin-disobedience of man)! – And where is the Good?! The Good is in Heaven, in God, in Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, in the Church, in Christians (baptized by the Holy Spirit, faithful to Christ); the Good in the Kingdom of God, which has already come, and into which every evildoer of this world can enter, who wants to become a doer of good in the Lord Jesus Christ, desires to receive the Holy Spirit! Therefore, in this world (which lies in evil), people always do evil (the evil one cannot but do evil, the sinner cannot but sin, the egoist cannot but act selfishly!), always choose between evil (although many of the sons of this age think that they are doing good, that they are good – so the Pharisees, the righteous ones who crucified (crucify) the Lord Jesus Christ, the Personified Good, the source-cause-possibility of all good: “without Me, you can do nothing good!”) thought about themselves. This world is in darkness, and in it, the blind wander. And the blind do not see where they are going – so they are always faced with a choice, and to move, they must choose, and since they choose in this world, which lies in evil, they always choose between lesser evil and greater evil (in this world (everything is damaged by evil, everything in evil) there is nothing ideal, there are no and cannot be ideal people (on earth, the only Ideal Person was, but He is not of this world, although He was in this world; as Christians wander in this world, but they are not of this world) – there is always something to sacrifice, everyone has some shortcomings). Therefore, God does not choose – He knows, knows everything, and Christians do not choose, but are guided by the Holy Spirit, walk in the Light of Truth, and all others, who do not know where they are going, because they walk in darkness (spiritual blindness, egoism-pride-godlessness), must choose, seeking good, benefit, happiness and ultimately salvation. Therefore, choosing – between greater evil and lesser evil (the third is not given in this world) – lesser evil, a person thereby moves towards good and shows their desire for good. And someone will say: and not choosing at all (which I do by not participating in the elections) – here is the third, which you say is not given!? The answer to this remark is simple: when I do nothing (do not choose), evil grows (health deteriorates, the house collapses, the field overgrows with weeds, “Russian world” increasingly fills the brains of Ukrainians with cotton wool, etc.), because to refuse greater evil and choose lesser evil requires struggle, effort (which is the cause of humility, awareness of one’s weakness, poverty of spirit); and without the effort to resist greater evil, it will prevail and grow; and generally, it looks like the childish position of an offended boy who was not offered the coveted candy… So, whoever in the choice between greater and lesser evil chooses lesser evil, he is actually not choosing evil, but GOOD, because the emphasis is not on the word EVIL, but on the word GREATER or LESSER, and by choosing LESSER evil, he thereby shows that he is against evil, wants it to decrease and eventually be destroyed!!! And he chooses EVIL and does EVIL the one who does not go to elections (he does not care what (who) will prevail: greater evil or lesser evil) and the one who consciously chooses GREATER evil or votes irresponsibly – these choose EVIL and do EVIL!!!
