  1. Why this part Катихизиса refers to Christian love?

    This part Катихизиса refers to Christian love because here there is a doctrine about a Christian life. All life of the Christian and all its(his) mutual relations should be constructed on Christian love.

4.1 - About a life Christian
(About. Прот. S.Slobodskoj сс. 565-566)
  1. • What attributes present(true) Christian lives?
    • the Present(True) Christian life can be only at the one who has in itself belief Христову and tries to live on this belief; that is the kind affairs it(he) executes will Божию.

  2. • That there is a basis of all Christian life?
    • the Basis of all Christian life is Christian love. The Law Divine is the law of Christian love. In the Message of Sacred Apostle Paul to Romans it is told so:
    The love does not do(make) near a harm;
    So the love is execution(performance) of the law.
    (to Romans 13:10 рсп).

    • Here it is necessary to note, that during present time - time of deviation from Christian values - many feelings refer to as love. In opinion of the Christian, with these feelings, in any way it is impossible to name many love. Therefore to specify, for our time, it is necessary to tell that the basis of a Christian life is not simply love, namely Christian love. The Christian love is certainly most raised love and the purest(cleanest) love.

  3. • That this verse from the First Cathedral Message of Sacred Apostle John Bogoslova means?
    The god is love,
    And staying in love
    The God in it(him) stays in the God, and.
    (1 John 4:16 рсп)

    • These words mean that basic properties Божии are love. If the person loves on христиански it(he) as though is in the God, and the God which is love, is in the person.
    • It is necessary to note, that it does not mean at all that the person becomes a part of the God.

  4. • What attributes of true love?
    • Kind business(affairs) are attributes of true love.

  5. • That the love only in words » means «.
    • « the Love only in words », describes love which is not accompanied by kind affairs. Such love, certainly not the present(true) love, but only in words.

  6. • That this verse from the Cathedral Message of Sacred Apostle Iakova means?
    The belief without affairs is dead. (Иакова 2:20 рсп).

    • Here it is spoken that the belief which is not accompanied by kind affairs, there is a dead belief. Kind business(affairs) are expression of the present(true) Christian love. In other words both the belief and Christian love should exist in the person in one and too time.

  7. • What there are kind business(affairs)?
    • Kind business(affairs) happen external and internal. External kind business(affairs), it is kind business(affairs) in relation to our near. Internal kind business(affairs) it is kind business(affairs) under the attitude(relation) ourselves. • too kind business(affairs) happen corporal and spiritual.
    • External kind business(affairs), corporal, it to assist to feed, give to drink, etc. External spiritual kind business(affairs) it to render somebody the spiritual help, to lead to the God, to advise, etc.
    • Internal kind business(affairs) it is a life under Law Божию and struggle against our negative qualities.

  8. • That this verse from the Sacred Gospel from Apostle Matfeya means?
    Not everyone, speaking to Me: My God! My God!
    Will enter Into the Kingdom of heaven,
    But executing will of My Father Небеснаго.
    (Матфея 7:21 рсп)

    • In this verse it is spoken that it is necessary to pray, but only to pray it(this) a little. A pray, it only a first step in a life of the Christian. Except for a pray, it is necessary to execute too Will of the Lord of the God, that is it is necessary to live under Law Божию. It is necessary to coordinate(agreee) all that we do(make), we speak and we think with Law Божиим.

  9. • we have received What means from the Lord of the God to distinguish goods from a harm?
    • to distinguish goods from a harm, we have received from the Lord of the God the Internal Law the Divine and External Law Divine. The internal Law Divine is our conscience, and External it is Commandments of the Lord of the God.
    • Hegumen Philaret (Вознесенский) in the textbook « the Abstract under Law Божию », in 1-st chapter(head) speaks about conscience. Here it(he) divides(shares) means which we have received from the Lord of the God to distinguish goods from a harm on « the Natural moral law » and « the Frank moral law ». « The natural moral law » is in conscience of the person and in the nature. Л " the Frank moral law » is the Law Divine which to us the Lord the God has given. 10 Commandments enter into it(him), Commandments of Pleasure, the Scriptus and in general the Law Divine.

  10. • That such conscience?
    • Conscience is internal spiritual force in the person, or display of spirit in the person. Conscience, as the internal law Divine (the voice Divine), is at each person whom that it(he) was not and where it(he) would not live.

  11. • As conscience operates(works)?
    • Human conscience has three functions:
    1. The judge (approves, condemns)
    2. The legislator (learns(teaches) as to act)
    3. Мздовоздаятель (awards, punishes)

    • Conscience operates(works) in a shower(soul) of the person as the judge; that approves, condemns our acts.
    • Then conscience operates(works) as the legislator. It(she) gives us moral requirements: do(make) goods, be truthful, do not steal, etc.
    • And the last, conscience awards and punishes. Conscience operates(works) as мздовоздаятель. When we act well we test the world and calmness. When we sin, we test reproaches of conscience, sometimes sincere flours(torments) and torments.

  12.  Whether • the person Should develop the conscience?
    • Conscience, spiritual force of the person, requires development and improvement. Other sincere forces, mind(wit), heart and will, too require development and improvement.

  13. • Why a voice of conscience insufficient?
    • Before fall the person was innocent. After fall its(his) mind(wit), heart and will помрачилась a sin. Conscience became a weak voice, and with time gradually fades. Therefore the voice of conscience is insufficient for definition of goods and a harm.

  14. • When at the person conscience can gradually fall asleep?
    • If the person does not listen to the conscience and does not develop it(her) it(she) gradually covers. We get used to a sin and conscience us any more мучает.

  15. • How the person should develop the conscience?
    • Conscience develops thus. Since a pray to the Lord to the God, it is necessary to study(investigate) at first the Law Divine, then it is necessary to try to live under this Law and to try to get rid of sinful habits.

  16. • That such « the External Law »?
    • « the External Law » is the Law Divine which to us the Lord the God has given. Ten Commandments, Commandments of Pleasure, the Scriptus and in general the Law enter into it(him) Divine.
    • Hegumen Philaret (Вознесенский) in the textbook « the Abstract under Law Божию », in 1-st chapter(head) speaks about conscience. Here it(he) names « the External Law », « the Frank Moral Law ».

  17. • As Jesus Christ learned(taught) to execute commandments?
    • Jesus Christ learned(taught) to execute commandments of Law Божия much more absolutely. It(he) learned(taught), that not only it is impossible to sin with affairs and words, but impossible to sin and even with ideas.

This moral decline can be tracked(looked after), looking old films on TV.

  2. • As it is possible окарактеризовать a present religious-moral condition of churches in the Western world?

Decline of church discipline, struggle for extreme liberalization, struggle for all support of debauchees, struggle for a permission to women to execute posts of clerics; everywhere there is a struggle for gradual replacement of Christian values from churches.
    • As reaction to this liberalization and a withdrawal from the Christian beginnings have appeared more conservative groups among many creeds. Too have appeared new евангелистические groups. Unfortunately at all at them, in one area the program is close to orthodox-christianity, and in other area is far.

  3. • As it is possible to characterize a present religious-moral condition in the communistic world?
    • the Communism preaches militant atheism. Militant, means that arrest believers, put(plant) in prisons and in every possible way oppress. Many churches officially exist and are opened(open), but in practice at them freedom of actions and their position полулегальное. The church has not the right to preach or have classes, rates, seminars итп.

  4. • As it is possible to characterize a present religious-moral condition of churches in the communistic world?
    • To belief exists not only the big interest but also the present(true) spiritual famine. Any spiritual literature passs from hand to hand and will become engrossed in reading. In church there are informers, but here and there there are present(true) priests devotees.

  5. • What now position of Russian Orthodox Church?
    • In Russian Orthodox Church it is possible to count some parts which by virtue of the developed circumstances have no communication(connection) with the friend the friend and at all do not recognize each other.
    • In the Soviet Russia there is a Russian Orthodox Church led by Patriarch Pimenom. It(she) is under the control of the state and инфильтрирована informers. Even among bishops there are informers. Here and there there are true priests but it is very difficult to them to exist. There are hopes that there there will be gradual, but very slow improvement.
    • In the Soviet Russia too there is secret Катакомбная a Russian Orthodox Church. It(she) does not recognize and has no relations with official Russian Orthodox Church.
    • Abroad, in all countries of a free world, there is Russian Orthodox Church Zarubezhom; a free part of Russian Orthodox Church. РПЦЗ has no relations with РПЦ in the Soviet Russia.

With time its(her) many arrivals pass to local languages and thus, contrary to all intentions, becomes missionary church and preaches true Orthodoxy all over the world.
    • In America there are some Orthodox Churches: Greek, Antioch (Syrian), Serbian and too Orthodox Church in America. ПЦА one time was part РПЦЗ. The purpose it(she) has put missionary work among Americans and consequently has passed to English language and on new style, and does not consider(count) itself as more part РПЦ.

Good music invigorates, calms, transfers(transmits) sacred mood. Bad music irritates, excites normal sexual feelings up to a maximum, transfers(transmits) negative ideas.

All this speaks that the orthodox Christian should avoid music which serves a harm.

  7. • That it is possible to tell about TV, radio and cinema?
    • All these works of art can serve both to goods and a harm. Certainly when they serve goods they positively act on us. When they serve a harm that leave a bad trace on us.

The pornography is covered with existing freedom, but it(she) bears(carries) slavery to those unfortunate victims which to it(her) get used. All of them мировозрение gradually poisons and spoils and finally they lose ability to have normal attitudes(relations) with people.

  9. • That it is possible to tell about drugs?

    • Firms which push books, newspapers, magazines, films итп which constantly speak about a harm, speak that it is all the truth and each person should know that occurs(happens) in the world. Here what that the share of the truth is, but not all. Yes, certainly living in this world, we should know the truth and we can not close eyes from all bad. If we shall not do(make) it, we become naive and not capable to live, work, study and bring up children in this world. The truth the nobility it is necessary, but it is not necessary to think only all time of a harm. It is necessary to not forget that all that we do(make) has what that influence on us and moves us either to good, or to bad. If we shall read and listen to all time about a harm, it will be certainly bad to influence us. We become pessimists, cynics and embittered and too we shall easily move to a harm.

  11. • That the duality in character of some believers means?
    • Living in multi-cultural (multicultural) a society happens that the believer orthodox has as though two persons(faces). One on service, for foreigners, and another at home and in church.

There is a duality in outlook. Certainly it is necessary to find a way out and courageously to coordinate(agreee) the behaviour both on service and among orthodox, with Law Божиим. Can be сделая it, at it(him) will laugh - then it needs to be accepted as a cross.

  12. • How to choose to itself the spouse - the friend for all life?
    • - the friend for all life, one of the most serious steps which we undertake the Choice of the spouse. The core it that should be as much as possible the general(common). Than it is more than general(common) that it will be easier in the future. It is necessary to remembe
