(2 Cor. 11, 1–6; Luke 9, 1–6) “And he sent them (the holy apostles) to preach the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:2). This time only in Palestine, and then throughout the entire universe. The preaching that began then has not stopped to this day. Every day we hear what was handed down by the holy apostles from the face of the Lord in the Holy Gospel and the Apostolic Epistles. Time makes no difference: we hear the holy apostles and the Lord Himself as if they were before us, and the power that acted in them is still active in the Church of God. The Lord does not deprive any of the believers of anything: what the first had, the last have also. Faith has always contained this and continues to contain it. But superstition came and divided between the present and the original. It seemed to him that there was a great abyss here, his head was spinning, his eyes were clouded, and the Lord and the holy apostles plunged into darkness, which seemed impenetrable to him. And it serves him right: let him reap the fruits of his sowing; there is only collapse of the spirit in him. That it is definitely mired in darkness and does not see the light, the consciousness in this cannot but be recognized as sincere - but who is to blame? It has fogged itself and continues to fog itself. Until now, it has not yet said anything such that the words of the New Testament Scripture could not be considered the true word of the holy apostles and the Lord Himself. He just screams tirelessly: “I don’t see, I don’t see.” - We believe, we believe that you don’t see! But stop emitting fog from yourself - the atmosphere around you will clear up, then perhaps the light of God will appear and you will see something. - “But this is the same as stopping me from being me.” - What a disaster! Well, stop it; others will be calmer. - “No, you can’t. It is destined for me to be until the end of the age, “that the most skilled may appear” *21. “I began in the first created mind, even before this visible world, and as long as the world stands, I will rush like a whirlwind along the paths of truth and raise dust against it in a column.” “But you’re only fogging yourself, but there’s light all around.” - “No, I’ll make someone’s eyes dirty; and if not, then let them know me for what I am. I will not remain silent and you will never be able to stop my mouth with your truth.” – Who doesn’t know this? Everyone knows that your first title is “darkness” - stubbornly standing your ground, despite any evidence exposing your deceit. You are a blasphemer against the Holy Spirit; So wait for yourself to fulfill the sentence already determined by the Lord for this. “Let there be trials” (1 Cor. 11:19). You might be interested in:
