БОГОХУЛЬСТВО
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Blasphemy does not demean the majesty of God and therefore should not prompt you to rage. He who blasphemes inflicts wounds on himself. So, you should sigh and cry, because this disease is worthy of tears, and a person infected with it can only be healed by meekness. Meekness is stronger than any violence. Look with what meekness God himself, both in the Old and New Testaments, calls out to those who offend Him. There He says: “My people! what have I done to you? (Mic. 6:3). And here: “Saul, Saul! Why are you persecuting Me? (Acts 9:4). Likewise, Paul commands to instruct opponents with meekness. And Christ himself, when the disciples approached Him, asking Him permission to bring down fire from heaven, made a strong reproach to them, saying: “You do not know what kind of spirit you are” (Luke 9:55)!
