Why does God allow such catastrophes? Why does God allow a little bit of evil and suffering? Why doesn't God start fighting

“Why should the Almighty Lord not thrive, so that the world would not have wars?” "Navіscho Vіn pripuskaє zabivaє"?

People have been wondering about such food for more than a century. Today, in the world, like a day to go to war, in mutual physical guilt of a human being. For this reason, nutrition is overwhelmed with relevant and important life.

Bible about wars

For the sake of the Bible and the Orthodox light-gazer, the Lord does not allow war, terrorism, or assault. The Holy Letter says that it is not the Lord, but the angel, Satan, natskovuє people one on one and these all the powers are separated. The very wine, moving in among people and robbing them godless, roaring half-witted witches. Axis scho go about such in the Holy Letter "There is no godless world, like my God"(Isa. 57:21). "Ways of the world do not know the stink"(Is.59: 8).

Back in Paradise, God said to Satan, who, having succumbed to yoga, calm down: “I will put a fortune teller between you and between your retinue, and between yours, and between you and yours; it will be against you in the head, and you sting yogo in the heel"(Buttya 3). In such a manner, after the fall of the great-grandfather, and as a result, the fortune-teller lost her fortune. Vaughn began already from the same Eve that Adam. The son of Kayn, by the science of Satan, having beaten his brother Abel and becoming a sorcerer with God, prompted to bring repentance. The very fortune-teller with God, the need to repent for sins, and gave birth to people of fortune-telling among themselves. The Lord teaches that people do not quarrel alone, do not spread evil one on one, do not raise their hands one on one. "Peace I deprive you, My peace I give you"(Jv. 14:27) - speaking Jesus Christ.

Vignannia Adama ta Evi z Paradise

From the appearance of Satan, that fall of Adam and Eve, the world became less than two forces - the power of love, goodness, friendship, that power, as it is called violence, witches and evil. God calls to love, and Satan calls to fortune. But if God does not corrode with violence, then we, people, are free. Mile at your choice - stand on the side of God or serve Satan. So the axis, people, is to serve Satan and rule the war. Christ Himself said about them: “Your father is a devil, and you want to defeat your father’s lust”(Jv. 8:44). If you want to, if you look at the Bible, the people will transform and I won’t go to war. Todi people “Forge your swords into plowshares, and write off your own into sickles; do not bring the people against the people of the sword, and they will no longer fight.”(Isa. 2:4).

Holy fathers about wars

Zvichayno vyyna - tse unparalleled evil. Ale stinks are both offensive and defensive. And defensive wars can be considered fair and unfair. Rev. Isidore Pelusiot wrote: Alya is not guilty of calling all those who lead the war; quiet, who, having put on the cob, either image the zavdannya, or rightly call the scrounger the deadly demons; avenge well pomіrkovano not slid i dokoryat like quiet, scho unfairly come, fight rightly legally.


- one of the most famous Fathers of the Church of the XIX century

And there are more emotions of the war, about which St. Philaret said: “War is terrible on the right for the quiet, like to shy away without consumption, without truth, with hotness to the bark of the overwhelmed, which turned into a right blood. On them lies a heavy duty for the shelter of their own and others. Ale war - sacred to the right for those who accept it according to need - for the defense of truth, faith, vіtchizni.

The saint pointed out the greed of the military actions. Behind yoga words, “Alone in the war, destroy the body, others - the soul. The first ones spent less. And the deacons have won their souls, and the stench of the right will overcome. They were like that, they went to war like wolves, but turned like lambs. I know a lot of those. Tse those who are the stars of a miraculous year of vision, that the invisible Lord steps in charge of them.

The saint, criticizing the vchenny about not accepting evil by violence, saying: “In wars and wars, we often see God blessing both in the Old and in the New Testament. And in us there are several princes glorified by their relics, which, however, fought. At the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra near the caves there are the relics of warriors. Fight for love to your own, so that the stench does not recognize the full and fortune-telling violence. What did the French do in Russia? And how not to fight with them?


Irinarch the Recluse blesses Minin and Pozharsky for the permission of Moscow. Hoody. Shevtsiv. Poch. XIX Art.

In response to those to whom the Christians take their fate from the wars, as Jesus Christ loves to make enemies of his equal-to-the-apostles Kirilo said: “Christ, our God, having ordered us to pray for those who are lying to us, and favor them; ale Vin, having punished us: there is no more of your love, as if someone gave his life for his friends.(Jn. 15:13). “Thus, tolerantly imagine, as if you give us a skin care, but in supplication we protect one and one and respect our life for our brothers, so that you, crying for them in full, did not fill them at once with the bodies of that soul, shading the pious to their evil ungodly right".

“Guide the gates of God, oppose the gates of the Fatherland, love your gates,” St. Philaret said briefly and arbitrarily about the Fatherland and about Christ’s commandment about love to the gates. So is St. Demetrius of Rostov, explaining the commandment about love to the enemies, writing: “Do not think, I hear my, that I repeat these words about these enemies, like they are fighting for our Christian virility and advocating against our pious faith ... Quiet not it is only impossible to love, but it is necessary to inspire one to act in war against them, cherishing one’s soul for the Christian kingdom and the integrity of the Church.”

As a Christian, he is guilty of being placed before military service

“To drive in evilly, but to drive in your enemy in war is legally commendable. Don't think that a Christian who holds it in his hands cannot be fit for God. I will protect my valor from the fatherland against the barbarians, and at the same time I protect the weak at the body,” the saint wrote. Seeing this, as well as the vchennya of other holy fathers, the great Christian warriors appeared. A few of them became saints, like, for example, the Monk Illya Muromets, the holy warrior John Ruskiy, the Monks Oslyabya and Peresvet, the holy princes-warriors - Oleksandr Nevsky, Dmitro Donsky, Admiral Ushakov and others. "There is nothing more than that kokhannya, as if someone would lay down his soul for his friends"- go to the Gospel (John 15).

Holy Fathers to teach what to inspire in war is necessary for Christians. To the enemy they show the Christian nobility, do not finish the wounded at the same time, shkoduvat quietly, who ask for mercy. Vibіr, like being led to war, vtim, like in the skin of an important life vchinka, overwhelmed by the skin of a man with a cream. And the holy fathers to say, what is the most important, if the heart of a person was indebted to the Lord, and then, knowing Yogo with love, I will help you to help the sight of God, people know the right decision.

Why does God allow the suffering of the innocent? Chi є u tsiomu sense? How can one gain faith from an all-powerful, loving God and such screaming injustice?

Rozmirkovu Bishop Orikhovo-Zuevskiy Panteleimon.

Suffering to recycle the earth

If you are talking to people who have experienced a terrible tragedy, talk about suffering is important. Likewise, I marveled at once at my mother’s mother, at whom a child perished, a person, at whom a squad perished, a son, at whom a mother perished, I don’t know what I would say ... If I myself experienced such a mind, it’s important. My squad died, three of my onukivs died in childhood. The world is black and white instead of color. You are spending your relish, if you are instructed by a close person, you are experiencing the death of death. I wished that there was no suffering, that we lived happily, cheerfully, joyfully, that no one was ill with cancer, sclerosis rose, that people did not get into a car accident, that their lives did not break. Prote suffering and sorrow do not perish for anyone. The stench is in life. How to lie down to them?

Not long ago, one person came to me - already good, already believing. Vіn rozpovіv, scho you can't pray anymore, you can't go to the temple. From him became a terrible story. The new bula knows twenty fates, he knows the children of the vine. The poor girl had long periods of depression, she was mentally severely ill. The stench of my mother was unbaptized, unbearable. Like a maiden woke up. For a long time it was impossible to know. Ale, they could tell by phone that she went to the forest, there, de buli, from which you can streak down on the gum rope - such an attraction. If my friend shukav її, vіn even fervently prayed. It seemed to Yomu that God felt Yogo and that she would be lost alive. Ale vin himself її know. Vaughn was dead. The maiden laid her hands on herself, pulling her temples. It was scary. I won’t be able to accept those that God let the girls die. It is clear that the world is incomplete. Ale, how is the almighty God, who, having created this world, how could Vіn allow it? How can you believe in God if you are on earth?

Deserved suffering is easier to accept

It’s easy, it’s easier to die for a high idea, it’s possible, it’s possible, it’s easier to die in the name of kohanny, you can calmly drink to death, as if you had committed a serious evil and understand that you are punished. Buvay, the evildoers themselves want to, they were punished. In the lives of the saints, there is a story about one robber who killed rich people, including children. At that time, the evil spirits were sometimes treated as justice in the monasteries. Chentsi lived well, wore special robes, for which one could stumble. Tsei rozbіynik tezh pіshov near the monastery and buv accepted by chentsi. Having deceived a bunch of wines, and then repenting and taking forgiveness in the sight of God - every sinner takes forgiveness in the sight of God, as if he were guilty of repentance at his sins (among the saints there is one, who killed 400 people). Ale, having already otrimavshi forgiveness, Vіn all one vіrіshiv zdatisya vladі, і bu v strachenija. If you don’t want to leave the monastery, you don’t see anything, if you give up your guilt, the priest, having repented of guilt, could not see him, otherwise he will destroy the mystery of speech. Ale, this robber himself, walking up to the Chalice, fighting one of those killed, they do not succumb to him and suffer. The conscience, which had thrown itself, did not allow you to live in peace, he wanted to punish him.

If a person knows what to endure for their sins, then they take suffering. A prudent robber, a kind of rose from Christ, saying: we accept a day for our sins. Not long ago, after reading a poem about a woman, I took the sin of sin. The man was very much aware of her, and the grown-up son, not vitriamshi, driving yoga, and the woman took the fault of the son on herself and the power to replace the new one to the point. Vaughn told her chambermates: “I know what I’m sitting for, and today I’m quiet, I’m choosing a term for sin, but I’m living in freedom.” So buvaє, like a person of reason, for which she is suffering. Ale, why don't you understand?

Humanity is a single organism

It is necessary to guess, dear friends, that if the creations of the whole world were created, no one had suffering. God did not create suffering. How did the stench come? Dehto seems to say: “God knew that Adam would sin. Why did Vin not create Adam such that Vin did not commit sin? The reasoning is simple: God made us free. We are not programmed like machines for good. We ourselves virishuemo, where to go, what to work, how to repair, how to live. We can learn to win, to tell us what God has done - such is the greatest freedom we have been given. God is, and deakі people are absolutely perekonani, that Yogo is mute.

The cob of suffering, the cob of sin itself lies in the fact that a person in his freedom can rob the way of evil. Creatures, birds - they stink to see freedom, but not to choose between good and evil. You can shoot Vovka, obviously, for those who kill sheep, you can beat a bear-luger, but still you can’t put Yogo in the yard and give him a term for those who killed Vin. Vіn do not know what to rob. And a man of wisdom.

But why do we suffer the sight of the fact that Adam wrongly shriveled with the freedom given to him by God? We didn’t see the tree of knowledge of good and evil? Wanting deyaki, sing-songly, already їli ... Well, they definitely didn’t. Why then do children become popular with heart pathologies, with indulgence, with unimaginable lives? Hiba is unfamiliar with chomus wine?

The universe was created by God as a single organism. The sin of the holiness of one is victorious on the reshti. It’s only possible that we see one in one space, we have a different intelligence, a different old look, a different color of the shkir, a different look. Really, people are the only organism, created by God on His own image - the image of the Most Holy Trinity, united in Love. That's why all individuals of the same human nature and are tied tightly. My relatives, my brothers and sisters with you. I tі, who lived, and tі, who live, and tі, who live all over the earth at once, - we are all the same. And to that, those who break down in one, pour into others. Oskilki Adam is our sleeping forefather, and as a genetic disease, it is passed from generation to generation, from generation to generation.

Why doesn't God make things right?

But then you can say: “But why God, I’m sorry, doesn’t put things right? Adzhe vin knows who sins more and who does less. Among us, it is possible, there are possible mischiefs, like to commit grave mischiefs. Then, perhaps, it’s better to crush them, so that they don’t respect the stench of others? We don’t know who, but God knows. Why does Vin allow these people to live?

On the right, in what we live with you at the hour, which is the way for Eternity. Life, as we live at once, but not the same life, for which God created it. Whose world, de mi with you perebovaemo, we were driven from paradise after sin. І our rebuvannya here timchasov. It’s not the same place, we can be good in power, buy your own furniture, a summer house, a car, know the miraculous team of a person, rule for a long time and become rich with all the blessings.

Life is so dear, why can’t we pick up a lot of speeches, so dear, like one time to skin. God checks the kintsya іstoriї, sob to bring me between. Even if it’s right at once to start sorting out, who’s in a relationship, who’s guilty, I’m afraid we all won’t say hello. Skin from us is sinful, and I am far from being a saint. Just because a person is a priest or going to church does not mean that the saints are guilty, as some people think. To start a court, you need to finish with the world of zovs, to finish the hour and deal with the skin, who is alive and still alive. And it will not be obov'yazkovo, but God checks, if people repent, as if they have not yet come to your sin.

Deyakі navit think, scho God nіbi zavіv this year, and now we can’t stop here on our own, but we won’t marvel at the beast and don’t get involved. Ale yak Vіn endure stіlki evil? Why don't you get the VIN? Yakiy zhorstoy go God, you say you. Where are Vin to marvel? De vin? And here we go to the worst.

God on the cross

One wise father, if Yogo was hospitalized, then God, simply saying: God is on the cross. God comes to earth, becoming a human being and living human life with a lot of hardships, having taken on himself the traces of original sin, wanting to be pure and sinless, lower new people are not. Sinless people live among us sinners, it’s important. Have you read "The Idiot" by Dostoyevsky? I tried to show the image of a holy person to our sinful world. And what happened? The hero is simply godly.

If the Lord was on earth, Vin was so languishing that he slept on the stern of the chin, literally drowning in the wolves. Before him, as if to take on Himself the sins of the whole world, before hellish suffering, the Lord prayed so fervently in the Garden of Gethsemane, that he would drink yoga, like drops of blood.

Vіn having taken on himself a terrible painful death. Having experienced a lot of humiliation. People, like Vіn ztsіlyuvav - and such a person did not go into the city of New without help, shouted: "Rip, rip Yogo!" If people could call Yogo, but the stench called the robber.

Death is on the cross - death is terrible, death is a roll. If a person is nailed with flowers to the cross, she will be smitten with wounds on her hands and legs nailed with flowers. Rozіp'yatiy cholovіk dies in the form of poison. Tse terrible katuvannya, terrible flour. They carried out such an experiment: for a long time people simply stood with their hands raised - the stench began to choke in spite of the fact that the chest was lifted to the top. And the yurba of people stood on the cross, the stench laughed and shouted: “Look at yourself, for you are God.” As if behind the shrouds of today, Christ was flogged with terrible scourges with lead tips that would tear the skin. It can be seen on the shroud that Yogo's entire back was covered with them.

Vіn buv such a beating, that he himself could not bear the cross, Simon of Kirineisky helped Yoma. If Vіn nіs the upper crossbar, yak was tied up to Yogo's hands, and if, znessileniya, stumbled along the road to Golgotha ​​- Vіn fell into the guise of a pill, parts of which saw were found on the shroud. They put a crown of thorns with thorns on Yogo's head, the stench drank into the skin, and streams of blood flowed to Yogo's guise.

The physical suffering of the moral, spiritual suffering, as if it’s not for us - Vіn having crossed the phrase, as if it’s necessary to bring me especially to the camp of the inner shock, on the cross God-Sin turns to God-Father: “My God, my God, why Are you filling me up?

My friend is similarly worried, who thinks that God has deprived this girl. Tse unbearably hard suffering, and it was experienced by God himself. Those sufferings are those that God has grown, to overcome evil, to overcome suffering itself. The axis of the path is in order through the suffering. The suffering is healed by the suffering. Death is killed by death. Vmirayuchi on the cross, suffering, Vіn opposing yoga strength. Now the skin, who suffers, can turn to Christ, be with Him and take care of the New One to help. Such help is coming. To the one who now suffers there is no such strength, as she was before Christ. Now the suffering is sens. I skin, who suffers, now sacrifice to himself and suffer for Christ.

Can't be swayed by evil

If we succumb to injustice, old age, death, we can turn around with prayer before Christ, guess Yogo suffering for us, and come to help, if you want, maybe, and I won’t.

Tse does not mean that the suffering is mittevo to die. It was allowed by God to cleanse us from sin. Our soul, defiled by sin, cannot be cleansed otherwise. Just as it is impossible without a brush to clean up the rubbish that you are in, so the suffering cleanses the rubbish of sin that is in your soul, it may be a cleansing sensation for us, it is to rob a person thoroughly. And even if a person is suffering, she reveals her kohannya, and yet another sense of suffering.

I will finish talking about one book, which reveals the mystery of suffering. This is the book of Job: they tell about those that there is only one righteous man alive on earth, that he was a rich man and that he was a rich child - his name was Job. And the devil said to God: “I love you, that everything is in the new, take wealth from the new, marveling, as we love you.” І axis at Jov everything collapses, children perish. The squad seems to youmu: "Fuck God!" And Yov vidpovidaє їy: God gave, God took. Let's sweat the wines, having fallen ill to a heavy ailment. Youmu's squad seems to say: "Fuck God and die." And vіn kazhe: "You need to accept everything in the form of God, good and bad." Friends came before Yova Yogo and they say: Tse you are all for sins, repent, and everything will pass. Ale Yov knowing no sin behind him. Vіn having accepted his share, his suffering, and vreshti-resht God, having revealed it to Himself, and opened up like a mystery. The mystery of reconciliation with God is revealed to people by an unblighted rank.

It is not possible to reconcile with evil, it is necessary to swear obov'yazkovo, so that the world had less suffering, it is impossible to see the dead, it is necessary to help people. We have young people - volunteers to go to help to the regional children's clinic. There are children from childish houses, and I don’t see them. Volunteers walk up to them every day, play, pick up, talk about them.

If a person does not fit in with him, that the world has suffering, then it is guilty of slandering, so that the suffering of the world has changed, and love has increased. It is necessary not only to meditate, but to work on it yourself, to pray that spontaneously, helping others to multiply love in the world. For whom, in prayer, until Christ, crucified and resurrected, the mystery of suffering is revealed.

Good day, our dear friends!

Why is there so much evil in the world, and why does God not stir up violence? And if God is, then why don't Vіn vykonuє our bastards?

Archimandrite Ambrose (Fontrey) confirms:

In one book of descriptions such an episode.

As if people got up, went to the field and threw a call to God.

“What, God, yes,” the stench said, “then why does the world have such zhorstokіst, why are there wars, murders, rapes, plunder?”

God asked:

- Do you like it?

- Not great!

- I gave you free will, now you are fighting, blathering, plundering?

The Lord does not do evil. People do yoga themselves. Clothes give rise to a mile, and a mile eat clothes. Zalizo people irzhu, and іrzha poїdaє zalizo.

There is no such thing as evil. A person gives birth to evil, and this evil devours his soul. If a person sins and does not repent of sins (to sin with the right, in a word, with a thought), then he will see the majestic flow of negative energy.

Show now that not only one person is sinful, but rich, how great is the number of negative energies that are collected - the whole of the ocean! Earthly cataclysms look like earthly cataclysms: earthquakes, windstorms, tornadoes, wars.

Why does God, who feeds richly someone, like the Almighty Vin, not slay in such a way that there would be no evil on earth? Why not embarrass people to be kind, to live with peace and love?

Show yourself that you are a hypnotist and you want your children to hear and love you. For whom you bring them to a somnambulistic camp, for whom the stink is not up to the desired reasonable choice, and punish: “Sit here, I won’t turn around the docks. "Wait!" "Stop eating!" “Please help me dobranich!”

Children, as if in a dream, reproach you: baiduzhi hands wrap around your neck, their lips cuddle up to your appearance ... Would it be worthy of you to hear such a rumor, would you be pleased with such a kohannya? Pretty sure. You, obviously, want your children to hear and shake you, offering only good things to them. You want, however, to stink mali freedom of choice.

The axis of such children wants a mother and God: Vіn gave us, created His own, free will, so that we ourselves robbed me of good and evil.

If a person puts his “I” on the place of God, then he starts checks, that God wins over all things. And if Vin doesn’t win over them, then the person seems to know that there is no God.

You don't know Tobi Yogo! Because your soul is unclean, defiled by sins, it is impossible for such a soul to live. And in whom is God, those people seem to be Winning.

And yak Yogo pobachichi? Christ said: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for the stench is praising God!”(Mt.5: 8). To that, if we cleanse our hearts, then we will see the Lord.

Saint Ignaty the God-bearer prayed fast to the Lord, the prayer sounded in his heart for the whole hour. Vіn calling іm'ya "Jesus" - reading the Jesus prayer. Yogo was nourished: “Why do you pray fast?” Vіn vіdpovіv: “My heart has Jesus”.

If the saint was taken into the arena together with the Christians, and then wild animals were let loose on them, the animals tore them apart. The heart of the saint was known to the pishka - it was left with a neushkodzhenim, and everyone sang, that in the middle of the heart, “Jesus” was written in golden letters. That is why they call St. Ignaty “God-bearer”, carrying the wine of God in his heart.”

Talking: 2 comments

    Good day. Ale, sir, how can you explain that evil people bring evil to good and good, and why God does not protect the good? Good adzhe having chosen correctly, vіn not to do evil. And to go out yourself, you are suffering, at the same time as a negligent and driving in the ringing of the living long time, nibi navmisne. Particularly unreasonable with the younger brothers. What a sin? Why do the sadist and flayer drive them in, and God allows them to suffer so much, even if the stench is wordless, bezporadnі. Do not believe me, father, for your own image of evil people you can lock up, for you are a sinner yourself. Ale for them ... stink of wine before the Lord? Like a flayer can choose: if you are such a chi, then tails can’t make such a choice, stench is shameless against people. Believe, father, still bring suffering to people to creatures, that I already calmly put myself up to the suffering of a person. You can stay vibir, children suffer for their fathers. But if you torment and roll the intestines or your animal, I have nothing to settle in, I’m sure that I’m ready to kill. I know that sin, but not about the yoke of humility at the moment and not to go. God has punished me and strongly, wanting to pray for my sins, I need to pray for mercy. Not otherwise, my saint has shown mercy to me. I don’t feed for what, I don’t swear. I have no children - she herself is guilty. I want to be healthy and I can, but not much. In fact, picking up the intestines, the stench of me melts like a child. Calamity, sickness and skin transfer of suffering from people. To that God let it be done like this, but it is unfair.
    І friend of nutrition: like me all the children of the Lord, why do prayers sparkle like a Servant of God? Hiba children can be slaves, tattoo?

    1. Hello Caterino! Christ is Risen!
      Light for us to lie ahead of us in front of ourselves. You yourself said that you don't know what to know about you. Become angry - here is the answer. The whole world has turned up, if sin is up to the new. Together with a person, the whole world suffers, because the person is the cause of creation. All people at once are a living organism, and if they suffer alone, then they fight for something else. I navit on creatures. All evil and in the face of aggression suffer the whole of this space: and nature, and creatures, and people. Start from yourself, but rather marvel at yourself. In a row with holy people, the present light changes, nibi turns to become paradise, de buv the world is between us and istotami. Creatures begin to serve people, in the life of the saints we bachimo, that wild lions helped people.
      Lord slaughter evil and know what it is. Ale the people before us, in the sight of creatures, freedom, which the Lord has given us. To that evil is good - the whole choice of a person. І dermal for your choice to be told.
      Lyudina, as if contemplating the commandments of God, as a child of God, madly. For this reason, you enter into the slavery of sin, and you want to be a slave of love, the love of God. Calling ourselves servants of God, we and our blueness do not scatter, but blatantly call the devil, sin, we want to reach God, God's love and become true servants of God, and not slaves of sin. With God!

The super girls between the Brahmin theists and the non-Abian Buddhist atheists flared up five thousand years before Christ. Adzhe vera of the one who loves Vishnu with light, or in Brahma, - the creator of the light, already founded. The main argument of the Buddhists against the Brahmins is the same. The good creator will create the world of resurrections of suffering. Vidpovidno to Buddhism life itself is suffering. Be it as if you talk about those that sinful people with their freedom of choice are evil, not seeing criticism, and there are at least two reasons: firstly, God is guilty of transferring between the permissible freedom of a person, and having himself created such, from yoga zhorstokim frail, otherwise wine is not omnipotent. Why do you call a person like that, if she herself did it like that? In a different way, it’s not more than human beings to fuss. To that, be a creature richly zhorstokіsha іstota, nizh people. Comrades, who know about the day with nature, they seem to forget that the creatures inflamed their pity and beat one one often.

"At the light of God's stylka, who can sing God less for those who do not have wine," Stendhal said when he said. The whole history of mankind is the history of suffering. Peace of mind of people is followed by endless wars, violence, attacks and denunciations, motorized evils, the most powerful strata, which shout the triumph of injustice to Heaven. To torment the earthlings at the hour of peace and blame ailments, hunger and all kinds of natural disasters. I, it would have been given, really - well, why does the Lord not bring harmony on the Earth, allow evil styles and allow His creatures to suffer so much?

If there is no God, then all earthly madness can be explained solely by human stupidity, natural selection, eternal struggle for space under the sun and stupid vipadkovymi. But in such a time, the very reasons of people of that suffering, in fact, become stupid and lifeless. From the perspective of Orthodox Christians, everything in the world has a deep sense and can be explained.

Suffering - ce bіl, innocence, selfishness, misery, ailments, sickness, fears. And all may suffer in any sphere of life: spiritual, mental, physical, material, special. Why are we suffering?

God's creations of the world were not intended for suffering, but as a result of the fall of the first people, they brought suffering to the earth.
Vіn beating the first people with a pantelic. Vіn sowing at їхні hearts doubt God. Until this very day, victoriously different situations, we have to fight everything so that we no longer trust God.

Christ did not shy away from suffering

Tsіkavo, that Christ, having come to earth, did not shy away from suffering, but He Himself saw everything that we can bear with you on this earth. More than that, Vin voluntarily took our life upon Himself. It is written about it in the 53rd division of the book of the prophet Isaiah: Vіn buv znevazhnosti, і mi nі in scho did not put Yogo. Ale Vin took upon Himself our weaknesses and...

Impersonal people put me suffering. I know a little bit - I experienced a special tragedy at my native country. But I nourish myself: why am I not suffering more? A lot of Christians are cherished by those themselves, their nourishment is not in what they suffer, but in what they don’t suffer more, taking to respect all those who have stoked God. It amazes me that I am still alive. As a servant, I have a lot of suffering. I think the ministers occupy another place after the doctors and nurses in this plan, before their eyes pass many people, as they suffer and suffer.

Why does God allow evil?

The nature of evil is an area of ​​crocheted knowledge

Our mind is not the mind of the Lord, but to inspire angels, to which the category of buttya is low simply through the nature of our knowledge of ignorance. Krіm tsgogo, as science would not go far, є part of knowledge, as if you would not become a bastard of people through your "mystery". The Bible says, for example, in the Book of the Repetition of the Law (29:29): “Knowledge is attached to the Lord, but let it be known (to be able to use the scientific path) - to us and our sons until the age.”

A confession about the first adventure of evil can be inexcusable. There is no other way, because ce nutrition to belong to the category of "chained knowledge".

Deserved suffering is easier to accept

It’s easy, it’s easier to die for a high idea, it’s possible, it’s possible, it’s easier to die in the name of kohanny, you can calmly drink to death, as if you had committed a serious evil and understand that you are punished. Buvay, the evildoers themselves want to, they were punished. In the lives of the saints, there is a story about one robber who killed rich people, including children. At that time, the evil spirits were sometimes treated as justice in the monasteries. Chentsi lived well, wore special robes, for which one could stumble. Tsei rozbіynik tezh pіshov near the monastery and buv accepted by chentsi. Having deceived them a bunch of wines, and then repenting and taking forgiveness from God - every sinner takes forgiveness from God, as if he repents from ...

This lesson is about the assignment of the problems of theodicy, that is, it’s a vchennya, as if uzgodzhu faith in God with the presence of suffering in the world, other evil, evil. Although this term and its introductions are from the 17th century, but the problem itself comes from ancient times. Since God is omnipotent and inexorably good (that is good) Іstoy, then why do the world experience various elements of hardship, war, sickness and death? Today come the news about the new scary weather. It would have been possible, as if God knew, to bless everyone with sacral goodness and to do it, so that they could reach everything that they bless, then it’s not their fault to do anything! Alas, today we stick with the world with evil and suffering, which means that God grants the foundation of everything (so Vin is not all-good), but Vin does not reach everything that Bazhaє (that is not omnipotent), because God does not exist in the light. In religions of the world, food is allowed differently. For example, the ancient polytheism simply replaced the almighty God with the impersonal little ones…

Chi checks us at the future, like before the All-World Flood? Why does the good God allow mass destruction and suffering of people? Why is it right to be afraid of catastrophes for Christians, so how can you overcome this fear?

Why does God send hardships to people, similar to the flood, to the earth coward?

The staging of food itself is similar - “for what?” - From the Christian point of view it is wrong. If mova go about the suffering of a whole people in the hour of spontaneous hardship, explain the catastrophe to God’s cause, if you get angry, you can only from the position of pagan religions, but not from quiet statements about God, like vodkrit in the Gospel. True, even in the Old Testament one can know riddles about God, who is angry at people, about God - a slayer for evil, about God - the destroyer of sinners. Ale Starozavіtne Odkrovennya was given to one, as a whole specific people, emerging from the same level of intellectual, moral and cultural development. And in those hours of this day, the people of Israel are little cheered by the culture of the pagan tribes that settled Israel. The image of the terrible God, which punishes people for their sins, is simply the most understandable for the Jews of the Old Testament era. St. John Chrysostom writes directly about it: “If you hear the words “fierce” and “anger” set before God, then you don’t understand anything human about them: these are words of condescension. The deity is alien to anything like it, so they say in order to bring the subject closer to the understanding of rude people.

With the inspirations of Christ - the instilled God, be it allegories, images and cultural interpretations have become zayvі and bezgluzdі. The gospel rhyme about Christ directly, without the usual allegories, shows how truly the powers of God are. What can Vin punish with elements? So loud. Ale do not erase Christ from the face of the earth, places at once with their inhabitants, now - tidying up the storm, yak deadly glare of the Galilean fishermen. I don’t bring fire from the sky on the heads of the Samaritan heretics, but instead hinder my teachings to think about New in Old Testament categories: …and we went to the village of Samaryansk to prepare for New; but they didn’t accept Yogo there, for Vin maw looked like the mandriving man of Jerusalem. Yak beat, learned Yogo, Yakiv and Ivan, said: Lord! Do you want, let's say, fire zіyshov from the sky and guilty їх, like Illya robbed? Ale Vin, turning up to them, harrowing them and saying: You don’t know what kind of spirit you are; Bo Sin of Humans comes not to destroy people's souls, but to repent. I went to another village (Luke 9:52-56).

On the sides of the Gospel there is such a plethora of revelations about God that it was not easy to accept the teachings of Christ. “Do not destroy, but vryatuvati” - as you understand these words, as if there is in them about the same God, Yakiy saying if at the hour of Noah: І axis, I will bring a flood of water on the earth, to destroy every body, in which I have the spirit of life heaven; all that are on earth spend their lives (Butya 6:17).

It would have been given, axis, a direct and clear statement on the cause of the cataclysm, which had saved the antediluvian people: God blamed people for their sins. On such a romanized Bible, the apostles were smitten, with a similar rank of stench they chose to blame the inhabitants of the Samara village - sinners, who were inspired to accept the Messiah in themselves. And in a raptom - you can smell the sight of Christ zakid at the one who їhnє rozuminnya stosunkіv God with sinners - nevirne. The same zakid then, at the Garden of Gethsemane, the Apostle Peter sensed, who tried with a sword in his hands to protect Christ in the form of a temple varti that came for Him. How respectfully look at all the similar situations described in the Gospel, the visnovoks appear as a whole unambiguous: Christ is God, who has flown in, richly showing His own power over nature and the elements, but not once for the sake of protecting people for the sake of protecting people. Vіn a miraculous rite, filling up the lack of food and drink, curing ailments, turning people around and the buildings collapsing, resurrecting the dead. But nowhere do we know in the Gospel riddles about those, like Christ having brought a flood, or having caused an earth coward.

Although, obviously, the link between human sin and catastrophes that occur on earth, in Christianity in any other time cannot be recounted. Ale zvodit tsey zv'yazok only to the primitive scheme "the person sinned - God punished" would be fundamentally wrong.

How can it be like this, so that the good God bov the building will drive in the hour of the Flood mayzhe allpeople?

I shook the Lord, how great was the waste of people on earth, and that all thoughts that thought of the heart of theirs were evil at every hour; And the Lord repented, having created a human being on earth, and was embarrassed in His heart. And the Lord said: I will blame people on the face of the earth, which I have created, for people to thinness, and reptiles and birds of heaven I will blame, for I repented that I had done them (But. 6:5-7).

This biblical text is right to sound even scary and call out impersonally denouncing the most conspicuous critics of Christianity, as well as those who believe. Ale, remembering the thought of Anthony the Great about those who "... stupidly think that the Deity would be good and bad through human rights," it would be so stupidly respected, God forbid, and you can truly "confound" or "repent." Mustache, insanely, just imagine, call out to show all the depths of morality, dismiss the antediluvian people, after the words of St. Ephraim the Sirina, “... what do you reach to such a level of inconsistency, what God, what you don’t repent of, don’t bring to kayatt.”

God didn’t repent of anything and didn’t stop loving people to inspire him, since all of his life has become a fatal evil. And, obviously, God took a lot from the share of the people who are mired in sins, the axis is only the character of the tієї part buvsіm іnhim, nizh can be taken at first glance.

The Bible says that the Lord, having punished the only righteous man of the antediluvian light, will make a magnificent ship. Tse bula was an important woman, a labor worker of a robot, like Noah went a hundred years. Ale marvel, with such marvelous words he comments on the life of St. Ephraim the Sirin: “... God laid such a heavy burden on the righteous, not trying to bring a flood on sinners.” To the thought of the most authoritative tlumach of the Bible, God did not curse the flood! Then why did the flood still hit the earth?
On the right, in that, doing evil, people destroy zovsі not like formally that zovnіshnі according to the new punishment of God, but go against the power of God-given nature, torment and ruin with your sins. And yet, the nature of a person is not to be isolated in the face of creation, but on the contrary - with the best rank it is tied to him. Above those, the Church Transmission directly calls the person the crown of creation, as if it were the middle of all created butt. To that, everything that is experienced in the spiritual life of a person inevitably gives a strong infusion into the present world. So, the Scripture directly testifies that the earth was cursed by the sin of Adam, that the building was clearly fruitful after the fall of the fall, and that through human sins the whole creature will stand and suffer until now.
The first example of this connection between the spiritual state of mankind and the natural world is an ecological crisis, in which people have thrown their planet in just one century of scientific and technological progress. Marina Tsvetaeva wrote in the first half of the last century:

Mi, with crafts, mi, from factories,
What did we kill in heaven, vіddanim
Us? .. The planet, de everything about Nyogo -
On the subject mediocre scrap?
Glory was carried by rivers,
Glory was spitted by the skelya.
The world - spirituality is nowhere! -
What did the person bring?

At the same time, it is possible to ascertain with even greater bitterness: nothing good. The downfall of the forest, the guilt of seeing many creatures, the straying of the rivers, the atmosphere, the near space ... The moral camp of the people of the epoch of scientific and technological revolution was such that it does not match that level of dominion over the world, which people took away for the help of science and technology. Obviously, and ozone dirks, and a shortage of fresh water, and global warming from a religious point of view, one can respect the punishment of God for human lust, voluptuousness and love of glory (like, well, and є the cause of today's unimpressive development of the motherly). But the axis of nourishment: like an alcoholic burned with live bait on a damp mattress, like a drunken drunk with an unextinguished cigarette, then how can such a death be punished by the sight of God? Without a doubt, all the same, it’s smarter to admit that God simply gave him the opportunity to inherit the sinful will, in such a wine he so rested all his life and killed him.

Obviously, it was similar to the antediluvian people, the thoughts of which were evil at any time. The Bible does not say why the whole evil was manifested, but it dawned on that such an unprecedented rampage of people to sin is inevitably not enough to provoke the same unprecedented cataclysm in nature. The omniscient God, knowing about the catastrophe, what is nasuvaetsya, and even for a hundred years before її on the cob punishing Noah to be the ark of the ryatunka, by the same time all the people are dashing about the future. Adzhe Noy, having found his ark, do not hide, in the eyes of everyone, and the very life, in fact, was already preaching repentance. Whether someone would have been for a moment to encourage himself the same ship and turn around just like Noah. And as if all people saw the seriousness of the insecurity that threatened them, they began to build their own arks, which already meant that the stench believed God and repented. It's possible as much as possible, that there would not be a flood. Adzhe vtsilila Nineveh, the inhabitants of which also took away the warning of the prophet John about those that the world of their sins had overcome the critical threshold and after forty days of Nineveh died. The inhabitants of the doomed place stopped sinning, and the place healed. But it wasn’t the stench that pleased God, it wasn’t Yogo’s “anger” that they saw in themselves, but repenting, they stuck the very cause of the catastrophe that was poking around.

Unfortunately, antediluvian people turned out to be less sensible and did not listen to God's warning, although they wanted to let them in for more than an hour. Ephraim the Sirin writes:
“God gave people a hundred years for repentance, while the ark was still standing, but the stench did not repent; Vіn zіbrav zvіrіv, doti nebachenyh them, but people did not want to repent; having settled the world between creatures shkidlivimi and not shkidlivimi, and even the stench did not stink. Navit after that, like Noah and all the creatures went to the ark, God called these days, the doors of the ark filled with openings. It's marvelous... those who were Novi's co-workers, all the bachachis who were in the ark and in the ark, didn't stop to deprive the godless of their own.
It is important to show that God is still timid to protect sinful people. Descriptions of Rev. Ephraim the Sirin is supposed to predict a more ryatuval operation, at the hour of which the greater silence is more important, who knows the trouble, why raptly acted in the order.
I know, like in the Garden of Eden, the people did not want to believe God. Aje skin, who, having believed, instantly turned back, like before Noah, and even before that, God called out to us the people of the ancient world in advance of the catastrophe. Ale, sorry, no one, krіm Noah that yogo sim'ї, not listening to the call of the Lord. And those who have become an antediluvian people can be fully recognized as mass self-destruction through the nevira of the Word of God.

Without a doubt, the main lesson of this tragedy lies in the fact that if it were spontaneously famously not a regression and a punitive action on the side of God, but a direct legacy of human sins. If people's carelessness to follow the good becomes the main life principle for them, the Lord does not waste them, but simply ceases to protect them from the past of their sinful sinful life. Not the "wrath" of God was the cause of human suffering and death for all hours, but the anger and pitilessness of people one to one to themselves.

Seeing the Bible, are we still being checked by global shocks in the future?

So, the Bible says it right. The Apostle Peter writes about the finale of human history: The day of the Lord will come, like a thief in the night, and the heavens will roar with noise, the elements, flaming up, will crumble, the earth and everything will burn on it (2 Peter 3:10).

The Apostle Ivan in Odkrovennia to say that the rest of the global catastrophe will be rebuffed by other cataclysms: I began to shine, thunder and voice, and becoming a great earth coward, which did not happen from quiet feast, like people on earth. Such an earthshaker! So big! And the great place was divided into three parts, and the pagan places perished, and Babylon the Great is shaking before God, to give you a cup of wine to Yogo's fierce wrath.

I skin island vtіk, i gir was gone, i hail, zavbіlshki talent, falling from the sky on people; And the people were angry with God for the sight of the city, to which the face of the new boulder was even more difficult (Announcement 16:18–21).

What is the right thing to say, what tragedies are being forced upon the singing peoples or lands for their sins?

So it would be possible to ask, for example: “What is the right thing to say that cirrhosis of the liver is being punished by an alcoholic for some of the evils of drinking?” Insanely, the righteousness of the sinful life of the sane people of the whole people is poured into the outskirts of the surroundings of their life. With such a situation, a catastrophe can appear as a whole - an earthshaker chi again.

The staleness of the life of people according to their moral will be called by the holy fathers a spiritual law. It’s a pity that people today don’t know anything about this law in practice, so they don’t know for themselves how to feed on the protection of human sins and outward blowing. To this we bring here the words of St. Mark the Ascetic, in which saints reportly explain this problem by looking at the law of the spiritual:
“God, having not created death, and not for the sake of death, is quiet to live; Guilt is not brought to the point of becoming addicted to anger, not seeing the ways until punishment for sins, not changing as a matter of course to the goodness of the skin, but having done everything wisely, signifying that everything was judged according to the spiritual law. Why did Vin not tell Adam and Eve “... that day, if you eat a harvested fruit, I will kill you”; ale, guarding and fortifying them, showing them the law of truth, saying: in the day, if you look at it, you will die (Bottya 2:17). God has risen up, so that the skin is right, for good and for evil, there was a natural fee. The fee is not due to skin depression, as the deacons think, who do not know the spiritual law.

At first glance, here one can draw a direct analogy with the karmic principle of payment, or with atheistic determinism, for what kind of skin path in life is an inevitable legacy of the previous ones. However, the analogy is less useful. For the sake of the Christian faiths, the Crimean spiritual causes of that їhnіh naslіdkіv in the world of the divine almighty God, the building rose the zv'yazok between human sin and yogo, nachebto, inevitable results. Figuratively speaking, in the karmіchnyh navchennyah an arrow was fired obov'yazkovo guilty to hit the target, to inspire like a person, like she let go, with a rapt with a flicker she realized that this arrow was directed at yoga sin. In Christianity, God can strike such a “criminal arrow” for a millimeter, or strike after a strike. Therefore, bring on the most terrible catastrophes, as people, or a whole nation, have already called upon themselves with their sins, God can help, if people repent, sue their sinful way of life and begin to live righteously. The very same situation is described in the biblical story about the prophet Jonah, if the repentance of the inhabitants of Nineveh vryatuvalo their place in the face of imminent death.

It would be more correct to say that it’s hard not to be helped by people, but they are allowed by a loving God, but they are allowed only by this world, as they can appear as a brown for us. Tse i є God punish. Ale is not in the legal sense, but in the outer, root meaning of the word - the mandate, the instruction, the zasib to the correction. There is one more important moment here: our special commission is allowed to go to such God's level. How to look at the vengeance, catastrophes, or to instill a great ailment, be it people in the categories “for what” and pay attention to the evils of punishment, we will send God for sins, then you can easily fall into the condemnation of people yourself, or inspire a whole people. Really, why not inherit God from Yogo in the wake of punished sinners? However, God does not send bad luck to people, but rather allows them to become - like a legacy of human sins. I check for us not a merciless condemnation of such punished people, but we call for a different order before them. Reverend Abba Dorotheos writes about this: “... Everything that is tight around us, then everything is mournful, that we are punished for our viciousness, like that: hunger, pestilence, earth coward, homeless, ailments, huskies - everything is not s good will, but it’s acceptable, if God allows anyone to know us for our goodness. But God doesn’t want me, so that they bazhali chi chiogo stole. For example, as I said, the will of God is condescending to those who were ruined in the place, but God doesn’t want it, so we - shards and Yogo’s will to destroy the place - they themselves laid fire and burned yoga, or we took sokiri and began to ruin yoga. So God allows, so that you can change in sorrow or in ailment, but if you want the will of God, and so, if you are embarrassed, but God doesn’t want to, if we were embarrassed by yoga, or if you said: God’s will is on those who are in ailments, it is not shkoduvatimemo yogo. Whom God does not want; do not want us to serve Yogo's will. Vіn bazhaє, navpaki, make us so good, so that we did not want that Vіn rob empty.

It's true that the believers are fenced in panic and fear of disasters - adzhe at willGod" and without her "do not fall out of a man's head to wind a hair"?

On the right, there is no formal fence here. I do not call for future catastrophes to be afraid of people, but we call for other speeches, which are closer and more obvious. A skin-believing person can be put on simple food: in what order does God take part in the payment, as we are punished for sin, which we have robbed? In a healthy way, there may be three ways to do it:
God will strengthen the natural legacy of our sin, so that we can be punished even more painfully.
God does not take any part in this punishment, but rather and indiscriminately places it in the area of ​​such an “automatic” principle of payment.
God works in different ways so that the natural consequences of our sins do not wear us down to the end and so that they sinned me, if I could repent and turn around.
The first option is to look at it without any sense: this is a picture that does not have a valid confirmation in the Gospel. The other can not be seen before Christianity: tse karmіchne svіtorozumіnnya in a pure looking, de God is simply no place. It is only the third option that confirms that knowledge about God, as we are taught the Scriptures and the Transmission of the Church. The very wind is like this, God's God, like "streaming" the legacy of our sins, we still feel on this earth, not respecting those who lie with thousands of thousands of lights through our sinful life.

Saint Isaac the Syrian writes: “Be a preacher of the goodness of God, to the one that God sees you, the unworthy one, and to the one who is richly guilty of you, and Yogo’s constriction is not visible on you; and for small deeds, broken by you, for the sake of the great you. Do not call God just, for Yogo is not known to be just on your right. Although David calls Yogo fair and just, but Sin Yogo showed us that Vin is good and gracious.”

And if we, Christians, believe ourselves in such a good and gracious God, then catastrophes, floods and earthquakes, which we will not know, should be afraid of us. Everything will be more like a divine instrument of our brother at that moment in history, if all other ways are no longer necessary for us.

And we didn’t throw ourselves into a hopeless catastrophe, the Lord forever stretches out a helping hand to us. We are left only to believe Yoma, or, not having believed, perish. At tsomu th polyagatime choose people in the rest of the hour. Before the end of the world, you who see God will ... die in fear, that foolish one who goes to all the world (Luke 21:26). Tim, whoever saves the faith, Christ says: If you call more often, then you will be shy and raise your heads, for your salvation is drawing near (Luke 21:28). One and the same signs of the end of human history, which are approaching, affect people in different ways. For some qi, apply to become a cause of fear, zneviri that zhorstok suffering. For the others - a radio message about the swede pinning all the lives and misfortune of people and the present new world in the history of the world.

And it is not necessary to be afraid of the faithful people, not the catastrophes themselves, but spend faith in God, as well as your own pretentiousness to the blessings of this world. Fear the need of God's sins, as if they admonish us in the sight of God and terrify us to put our hope in earthly life not on Yogo's intercession and help, but rather on earth establish: a state, the MNS, the army, the police, wise rulers ... The axis of such a sinful power of power be afraid of the viruyuchi people, and not the floods and the earth cowards. Aje chi in a catastrophe, chi in a wet lizhka - ale skin of us, earlier than in the future, we should give God's confession and finish our earthly foundation. The flood and the earthshaker can bypass us, otherwise no one in the world could escape death. To that, although it is not easy, it is necessary to learn to live in such a way that one day we will prepare to die and stand at the judgment of God. Other recipes for fear dashing, scho to go to all the world, the Church can not.

We ask God to protect us in the form of "earth, famine, flood, fire, sword," knowing what God's allowances can do for us. What is prayer about? To go out, mi, knowing that "everyone should have a booty," secretly spodіvaєmosya, that the cup is mine?

Tse zovsіm not taєmna nadia. The words "For graciously hear the voice of our prayer and spare us from famine, death, earth coward, flood, fire, hail, sword, invasion of a foreign tribe, foreign huskies and every deadly viraz - let us pray to the Lord" in mercy, that long-suffering God. We ask the Lord to protect us from the natural legacy of our sins, we ask Yogo "... do not remember the lawlessness and unrighteousness of His people." Standing up for hope on those that God can protect people, as if they repented of the pernicious results of their past sinful life, you can work in the Bible: ... Not for our iniquities, and not for our sins, having shown us: for the sky is high above the earth, so great is the mercy of the Lord to those who fear Yoh (Ps 102:10-11).

How not to change the readiness to be-like bid on the post-yne depressive ochіkuvannya girshy, and humility before God's will that Yogo Promisl does not confuse with apathy and the spirit of fighting for one's life?

Talk about those, how to properly build your soul when you come, you have a moral right to deprive the one who you have survived. Ale, all the same, it’s possible to have the minimum notice about it and to bring it to the mother’s back. The film "Titanic" (directed by R. Linderman, 1996) has a short episode, deconstructing all the depths of the right Christian setting before the catastrophe. Among other passengers, the cost of a bagatoditna sіm'ya will rise in price by ship. The children are still small, the eldest is not ten. І axis, if the ship had already begun to zanuryuvatisya near the water, so I climbed, nareshti, onto the deck from the lower tiers, and it appeared that all the boats were launched, and then, the stench was doomed to death. The father of the family at the rose has been ruined like:
- What do I have? What a zhorstoky heat - the axis is so, see our lives for nothing ...
What did the squad say, marveling at you at the vichi:
- We were not at all afraid of difficulties, we always beat them with a raised head. You're a good person, Billy Jack. Ti chesny, pratsovitiy and kind. You are strong in spirit. And for that I love you.
The stinks make the children warmer, sit on the bench and begin to read the prayer “Our Father”. And at the same time, they are rushing around the deck like divine people, as if trying to turn around in the face of imminent death.

Without a doubt, it’s the only thing you’ve got to wait until the next day: until the rest of the moment, work everything you can for the sake of your loved ones and yourself, helping God help you. And how to appear raptly, so that there is no longer a sense of susilla - to know kind words for parting with the people you love, and ask the Lord for strength to accept the inevitable. Adzhe prayer in such a situation is also a struggle. The struggle against the quiet apathy and depression itself, like obov'yazkovo settles in the soul, which has spent prayer. God, let it be allowed, if God allows anyone to know us for our greed. But God doesn’t want me, so that they bazhali chi chiogo stole. For example, as I said, the will of God is condescending to those who were ruined in the place, but God doesn’t want it, so we - shards and Yogo’s will to destroy the place - they themselves laid fire and burned yoga, or we took sokiri and began to ruin yoga. So God allows, so that you can change in sorrow or in ailment, but if you want the will of God, and so, if you are embarrassed, but God doesn’t want to, if we were embarrassed by yoga, or if you said: God’s will is on those who are in ailments, it is not shkoduvatimemo yogo. Whom God does not want; do not want us to serve such Yogo's will. Vіn bazhaє, navpaki, make us so good, so that we did not want that Vіn rob empty.

Believers have a clear understanding of the fact that the Providence of God is good and thorough. It is important to speak about it in front of the sufferers. We, with our human mind, cannot penetrate into the tsі taєmnichі, nevіdomі us the ways of God. But we only know one thing - that the shards of human life will not end with the physical death of one's body, God creates with us from His will, those that are worthy of earthly life, and eternity. And if there is no eternity, then everything becomes stupid - and life, and death, and joy, and suffering - everyone wastes their sense, everything becomes like madness. For the life of a man on earth is 70, for the strength of 80 years, like the word of God (Ps 89:10).

Ale mi virimo at the eternal life, mi її vіdchuvaєmo, mi її spiritually look at the moment of the creation of the Divine Liturgy, at the moment of communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. The Leather Liturgy is initiated by the viguk “Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”, to that through the Sacrament we are torn through eternity. Himself in the prospect of eternal life of calls, the Christian marvels at the joy, at the sorrow of his life, roaming the community, the end of these sorrows. Death is not an absolute phenomenon that ruins human life. And this is our reason for suffering, the sense of which is so important to understand.
