Jesus' witnesses
Post date: 2007-09-21Autor: 1
The testimony in Jerusalem (in the Church) is the most difficult one. Even Paul the Apostle experienced this from the part of his own nation and from the false brothers (see 2Cor 11:24-28), and mainly from the part of the Church hierarchy which usurped God’s authority. Even nowadays this authority is often used for killing Jesus’ witnesses! As the motto for the World Youth Day in Australia (2008) the Holy Father has chosen Jesus’ promise: “When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you shall be witnesses to Me (martyres) in Jerusalem… and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) The condition to become Jesus’ witness (martyr) was and is to receive the Holy Spirit.
Life philosophy
Post date: 2007-08-28Autor: 1
Life philosophy based on the Gospel actually is the wisdom which teaches us how to pass through this short life, which for the major part is a spiritual fight, so as not to lose eternal life. In this fight it is being decided: we will either pass to eternal life or fall into eternal condemnation by God. Therefore this life philosophy – the wisdom of God – is vital for each man!Unfortunately, the contemporary philosophies do not fulfil this function, they even do quite the reverse. They purposefully deceive, they darken the true sense of human life and instead of true means they enforce false ones leading to destruction.

We supposed that after the moral scandals in USA the leadership of the Church will repent in relation to this sphere; however, we can see quite the contrary, and that even in our small Eastern Church. In these days it has been published that the Apostolic See (Congregation for the Oriental Churches) chose a new bishop about whom it is publicly known that he is a homosexual.
