tasted sugar? No! Maybe honey? Yes! Just as honey is sweet, so the union with Christ in the Holy Spirit is incomparably sweeter, etc. Everyone has their own experience of “pleasure,” so with each one must be spoken separately, in their language, in the context of their experience, with analogies understandable to them and capable of arousing in the catechumen the desire to experience the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Sacrificial Love; the teacher must “be all things to all people”: with religious people – as a religious person, with Greeks – as a Greek, with pagans – as a pagan, with simple people – as a simple person, etc.) explain the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God – arouse the desire to be God’s, Christ’s. Preaching without catechization-teaching is a hotbed and cause of heresies, because the Word of God is given in such a case formally, without the Spirit, which can only be received in the Church, only in the Eucharist. Therefore, the Church’s preaching always leads to catechization-teaching, points to learning in the Church. The word of the Church’s sermon cannot be understood without personal catechization-teaching in the Church, so we said that the sermon in essence should be like a parable, the essence of which is understood only by the preacher, therefore, to find out what exactly he wanted to say, one must directly communicate with him (the preacher or those who know what the preacher was talking about), and be catechized-taught by him (or other Christians, God-seers-teachers to whom the apostle-preacher will refer – the one who “advertises”-preaches). Therefore it is said: preach and teach! In the UOC KP – they preach heresy, and there is no teaching (catechization) at all! Catechization-teaching for the ideologists and leaders of the UOC KP – this is heresy! Trouble! Fire! Heresy!
So, the purpose of the books on which the reviewers wrote lies and deception, not a review, is the following: to call the faithful of the church to total catechization, responsibility, prudence, conciliarity!!! And you impose on the author your style and purpose: to systematically present the teaching (dogmatic) of the Church! He did not set himself the goal, the task of systematically presenting Orthodox dogmatic theology! If so, he certainly would not have recommended pagan catechisms or dogmatics! He would have recommended and recommends “Mystical and Dogmatic Theology” by V. Lossky, “Dogmatic Theology” by J. Zizioulas, “The Faith of the Church” by Ch. Yannaras, Lectures on Basic Theology and Apologetics by A. Osipov and the works of other friends-advisors! The goal of Father Volodymyr’s books is different!!! TO AWAKEN PEOPLE TO CHURCH, CONCILIAR, EUCHARISTIC LIFE (Satan and his minions in cassocks and miters – the leaders of the UOC KP – did not like this very much!!!)!!! Therefore, he said that he does not give answers, but helps to ask questions (by the way, heretics have answers to all questions, and only give answers, and do not raise questions, problems!!!), as one heretic testified, saying: “He writes that, yes, it would be more logical to give answers to questions, but that is his own method of theologizing, not to give answers to questions in this book, but to ask questions, and thereby complicate, thicken the fog even more (here you can still somehow come to terms with quoting the text of the book from memory, but the next part, that is, the conclusion – complete nonsense and heresy), so that the person himself comes to an understanding of what he should do.” (We say that salvation is only in the church, only in the parish, and the heretic says that we want the person to come to something himself, without the church, outside the church – this is complete nonsense – we)…
It darkens (I try to snatch the book from the hands of the self-centered egoist and send him to the Church, to live communication!) and in the language of apophatic theology presents it in such a way that our cunning mind sometimes does not think that it has fully understood, that it already possesses the truth, therefore he writes so (trying) so that no one understands anything to the end, so as not to deceive themselves that they know God or something Divine, not being in knowledge, in the Eucharist. But not so that the person finds enlightenment himself, but so that he goes to the Church (parish) and together with real REAL people (and not with fantasies and dreams from books), real priests-spiritual fathers-advisors, with real brothers and sisters (with their needs, joys, sorrows, pains, troubles) to grow into the Kingdom of God, into the Eucharist!!! The answer to all questions is the Eucharist – knowing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. How (pedagogically) the author achieves this – so that people go from books (dreaminess and thinking of themselves) to live (life-giving) communication, to become parishioners, not churchgoers (for Father Volodymyr, these are different terms that point to different realities!!!) – this is another question of pedagogical methods and approaches…
