According to the spiritual meaning, Jerusalem signifies the human soul, and the entry of the Lord into Jerusalem signifies the entrance of God into the soul. On Palm Sunday Archpriest Andrew Phillips On Palm Sunday Archpriest Andrew Phillips This is not just an historic event, but an event that can be repeated at every communion. For whenever we seek peace and humility as if seated on an ass, as innocent as children crying " Save, we pray " , then Christ enters our souls and makes them into Jerusalems within us. Homily on Palm Sunday St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) Homily on Palm Sunday St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) Here is another meaning of the colt of an ass. It is an image of every person who is led by irrational desires, deprived of spiritual freedom, attached to the passions and habits of fleshly life. Christ’s teaching looses the ass from its attachment; that is, from fulfilling its sinful and fleshly will. Sermon for Palm Sunday Sermon for Palm Sunday With the expectation of the Messiah, and the events of Christ’s ministry on earth, word travelled quickly around Judea that Jesus was the one whom the prophets had spoken about and whom everyone was expecting. Yesterday Christ performed a miracle by raising Lazarus from the dead, the miracle that foreshadowed his glorious resurrection next Sunday. Now everyone is convinced that this is the Messiah-king who will save the Israelites. Комментарии Подпишитесь на рассылку Православие.Ru Рассылка выходит два раза в неделю: |
| We must stand up for Middle East " s persecuted Christians/Православие.Ru We must stand up for Middle East " s persecuted Christians SOURCE: FoxNews.com By Johnnie Moore Christianity began in the East, not the West, yet today Christians in the East are enduring an all-out-assault by Islamic terrorists, while Christians in the West live their lives largely oblivious to it all. This has to change. This is no imaginary persecution; in Syria alone there have been reports of kidnappings, Christian communities intentionally displaced by militants and, worst of all, shootings and beheadings of Christians who refused to convert to Islam. In Egypt radicals have recently destroyed dozens of churches, and the once vibrant Christian population in Iraq has been decimated. Christians in the West should stand up for those in the East out of regard for all they have given us over these thousands of years, if for no other reason. See, what most American Christians don’t realize is that the “Islamic World” was once the Christian world. Some of the most well-known and influential leaders in the early church hailed from North Africa and the Middle East – like the warring theologians Athanasius and Arius, and the apologist Tertullian. It was for the library in Alexandria that the preeminent Greek version of the Torah (the “Septuagint”) was commissioned. Today, St. Augustine would be called a Tunisian, Origen would be Egyptian and the Apostle Paul – who was on the road to Damascus when he encountered Christ – would have told the story of his conversion while heading to “Syria.” It was also in the Syrian city of “Antioch” that Christians were first called “Christians,” and to this day there are as many Christian holy sites in that nation as anywhere else in the world. When Jesus was born, and his life was threatened by the hysteria of King Herod, it was to Egypt that Joseph and Mary fled until Herod’s bloodlust subsided. If the famed Council of Nicaea were held today, the headline would read: “Christian theologians gather in Turkey to settle long-held dispute about Christ’s deity,” and the part of the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized could have very well flowed through modern-day Jordan , as opposed to Israel. |

| Russian Orthodox Church: Christian suffering in Middle East caused by West indifference/Православие.Ru Russian Orthodox Church: Christian suffering in Middle East caused by West indifference Moscow, November 12, 2014 Archpriest Nikolay Balashov, deputy head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations, said he believes the persecution of Christians in Syria and Iraq are consequences of the Western countries " indifference. " Many people who are in power in modern world politics are indifferent to the fate of millions of people, the fate of the Christian presence in places where Christianity began, where our religion spread first, where all its holy books were formed and the foundations of its centuries-old holy traditions were laid, " the priest said at a roundtable meeting in Moscow on Tuesday. The priest believes Christian presence in the Middle East can disappear in the foreseeable future. " There are Christians in Syria and Iraq who say they will stay there until the end, but many people have to leave to save their children and loved ones, " the priest said, recalling that half a million Christians have already left Syria. " The Christian presence in Iraq has decreased dramatically, and the situation in Libya is even worse, " he said. The priest said these events may be a result of deliberate efforts made by influential forces in world politics, who bear a large amount of responsibility for the events happening in the Middle East, the Western countries, which have consistently supported and continue supporting the representatives of radical Islam and radical groups who have begun a religious war in the Middle East. " I think from the point of these people we are talking about a by-product of the achievement of political goals that are important on a global scale, " the priest said, reiterating that " in this regard, the fact that Russia is increasingly confidently assuming a historical role of defender of Christians in the East is certainly inspiring.

| Elder Barsanuphius of Optina, in one of his spiritual talks, recommended to his listeners that they read the Lives of the Saints in Slavonic, rather than Russian, saying that it was spiritually more beneficial. (The talk appears on pages 439-442 of in Victor Afanasiev " s " Elder Barsanuphius of Optina " , published by the St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood.) melxiopp 14 июля 2011, 18:00 In much of the Western world, immigration and bilingualism must also be taken into account. In the U.S., for example, most of the Orthodox churches are in the cities because this is where our Orthodox immigrant forebears landed. Today, these Orthodox immigrant neighborhoods have been replaced with new, non-Orthodox and non-Christian immigrants. Our churches have an amazing missionary opportunity - the unevangelized come to them from around the world rather than Orthodox missionaries having to travel to them. And yet, we are more concerned with maintaining the culture and language of the founders and their children (who are now in the suburbs, or not Orthodox). This new immigrant reality should be kept in mind when considering translation. For these people, the proper, newspaper form of the local vernacular - let " s say English - is already foreign to them because their native tongues are Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Creole, Portuguese, Thai, Korean, etc. They only know practical, street English. This is in sharp contrast to the average native-born speaker for whom the KJV would best fit Elder Sophrony " s comment. melxiopp 14 июля 2011, 18:00 Regarding Slavonic and its dependence on Greek syntax, grammer, etc. It should be remembered that at that time none of the Slavic languages were advanced at all, as mentioned, they had no alphabet, but there was also no literary or intellectual tradition, there was no Christian tradition. This sets the Slavic languages of the 9th century apart from modern Western languages such English, French, German, Italian, etc. Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку |
| This arbitrary ban seems to be yet another demonstration of the “unofficial” second-class status of Christians in Turkey. As the scholar Robert Spencer puts it: That t he Greek Orthodox need special permission to celebrate divine services in any of their churches in what is now Turkey is a dark reminder of the Islamic oppression of Eastern Christians from the mid-7th Century to today, and for the Greeks, especially from the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in 1453 through the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by the Western Powers during World War I. Today, Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians are a tiny, dwindling minority in Turkey -- around 2,500 people -- and the community routinely faces discrimination. “Christians are certainly seen as second-class citizens,” Walter Flick, a religious expert with the International Society for Human Rights in Germany, told the publication DW. “A real citizen is Muslim, and those who aren " t Muslim are seen as suspicious. Christians aren " t equal. They don " t have full rights.” PJ Media 7 октября 2016 г.

What is however of massive significance was a speech erdogan gave last week, where he (and later the mayor of Ankara) effectively tore up the Treaty of Lausanne which created the modern day borders between Greece and Turkey, claiming the Greek islands as turkish. Those who have read the prophecies of Ayios Paisios and Geronda Iosif Vatopaidinos know that when the issue of the examilia (six miles) is raised, (the six miles being the six nautical mile radius which is Greek territory around the Greek islands), then you know war is near. Once Greece and Turkey withdraw their embassies, then Turkey will hit some Greek islands, Russia will smash Turkey to pieces, and the third world war will kick off. All these are well documented prophecies that can be read on the internet or seen on youtube. |

| Фейербахе. «Каков бы ни был ход истории, люди делают ее так: каждый преследует свои собственные дели, а в результате множества действующих по различным направлениям стремлений и их разнообразных воздействий на внешний мир получается история. Вопрос сводится, стало быть, к тому, чего хочет это множество отдельных лиц... Но, с одной стороны, действующие в истории многие единичные стремления в большинстве случаев ведут за собою совсем не те последствия, какие имелись в виду. Очень часто эти последствия прямо противоположны желаниям деятелей. И уже по одному этому побуждения, руководившие деятелями, имеют в последнем счете лишь второстепенное значение. А с другой стороны, является новый вопрос о том, каковы же те силы, которые дали воле людей то или иное направление, каковы те исторические причины, которые отразились в головах деятелей в виде данных побуждений». В ответ на этот вопрос марксизм и предлагает свою теорию исторического материализма. Так мы, постепенно углубляясь, перешли от рассмотрения марксизма, как коллективистического плана общественного строя, к экономическому учению его, а от экономических теорий переходим к его историко-философскому учению. Исторический материализм составляет последнюю предпосылку научного социализма, его глубочайшее основание. 3 Sociale Bricfe an Kirchmann.

The ideals of other ages-aesthetic, religious, and political find themselves reproduced and comprehended in the new ideal of a better world which marks the age of the Social Question. |

В главе «История моральной философии от Гомера до XX века» о еврейском учении даже не упоминается. Подобный подход главенствует и в других пособиях.
