Person, God, Faith

About God and People

Theocharis Belios

*Someone questions the faith of Christians and probably insults it, since he plays with the concepts of Holy and Holy and confuses the essence with the lady “grammar”. What would someone have to tell us and confess to us?.

Good and blessed good evening. Humbly forgive me, there are many of you who say it.? If so then that means her? Saint (or Hosios) it is called a man, who has been declared by the Church to be sanctified by God. The dead body of a Saint, the so-called relics, are kept in Churches. To declare someone a Saint in the Orthodox Church, several years need to be completed since his death (about 40). Saint means memorable. The one worth remembering. An example is church texts, which when referring to a saint, referred to’ this way (today the memory of the Saint is commemorated.. etc) recounting the Divine deeds, his origin and life… What you write from where you are driven to translate it so easily.

*And why some call non-Christians pagans;
This name was given in the early Byzantine years to the remaining pagans of that time who reacted to Christianity and remained attached to the primitive pagan cults of the past. The name comes from the Italian word pagi which means “apart” and paganus meaning “villagers”, and was established because pagans were often driven from the cities and fled to the villages.

Paganism in the villages was preserved several years after its disappearance in the cities. In Greece the last vestiges of paganism were eradicated in the time of the Byzantine emperor Basil I’ of Macedonia (867 – 886). In the West, mainly in the islands of Italy paganism was preserved until the 7th century, while in England and Russia until the 10th century.

Paganism is essentially idolatry. So the ancient Greek religion, as well as the religions of other pre-Christian peoples were clearly pagan. The concept of the divine in them, compared to the modern monotheistic conception, it has all the characteristics of idolatry. The worship of inanimate objects and imaginary divine entities is pure idolatry. And what do these have to do with God??


*The Greeks are superior to the Jews and they led us to their own religion.

Let me ask, do you mean that because you are Greek you are something superior to someone who is (I'll take it to the extreme) Muslim?

*From what we see in the Mohammedans today, rather we are better.
Humbly forgive me but I do not feel superior nor inferior to anyone. Or perhaps even more correctly, I feel inferior to everyone! The former is to cover my emotional ego. I answer you, you don't answer. And you try to avoid through the widened vague political discourse. You are or are not superior to a Mohammedan? With one I am or I am not, so simple. I don't think you can do it.

*These (the Mohammedans) though not all, they seem to be demonic.
No, the world is evil, we will change it.

*Not diabolical, he is probably demonic.
It is never too late and Florakis at 80 accepted Christ. Until then he didn't know. You're still young.

*If God is almighty, because it allows wars, diseases and injustices;
God does not punish, he is not some complex creature who wants us to suffer. God does not seek vengeance for our sins. God is not evil. It does not send cancer to children and adults, it doesn't kill in traffic families, it does not create wars, does not deprive people of food, does not separate androgynous. God is Good, it is Love.
The True God wants our salvation and not our harm, He wants us to be forgiven with Him eternally and not to go to hell because He was offended by our iniquity. God does not wait, when we sin he sends some evil. God is not passionate like us. God is not small-minded like us. God is lordly. His love is noble.

Of course some will argue that God being Almighty is responsible for all the evils of this world, since He could - by His Omnipotence- to prevent them.

First of all, God does not think as we do and that is why he does not intervene when we want him to and as we think is right and just.
Secondly, God is not short-sighted like us. God does not just want us to be well here on earth but to be saved eternally, that is why God allows some things to happen that in our little minds we consider curses. It is another thing to say that God sends evil. and another that God allows some trial that will come into our lives to wake us up from the spiritual lethargy we have fallen into.

Nothing in itself is bad, as long as we position ourselves correctly in what is happening. A disease from a curse can become a blessing, when the occasion arises to put in place the principle of repentance and good works, gaining compassion for suffering people. A breakup can become the occasion not to be hurt but to be humiliated, to accept that we have failed and become wiser, to stop trying to beat the other person in an argument and try to get along with the other person (if possible) with an attitude of forgiveness and understanding. A death, a familiar person, from a fact that can trap us in depression, it can lead us to the realization of our fragile life, in the cultivation of prayer, in memory of death, that will make us seriously look - and appreciate- our life.

Much can be said, but the point is not to convince that God is not to blame, but let's see how we can progress spiritually through the various trials of our lives.

If we approach our life with a secular mindset, looking for logical answers, looking for culprits, justifying ourselves, then trials will always be viewed as curses. But if we understand that the purpose of this life is to find Christ and not earthly happiness, if we understand that the question is our salvation and not the bullet us then we will see our cross as a way to her resurrection us and God not as awesome in His Omnipotence but as awesome in His Love, as the Father who endures our mistakes and awaits our return.

My name is Human


* My name is human – from above I rust – but to be human I must dare to look up, to face my higher self and face the LIGHT of love.
* My name is human, but to distinguish myself from the reptiles that from the birth of the world creep and will creep eternally, I must passionately love myself naked as embodied in Gaia, pure and undefiled before my minds are filled with sins, illegal, nudes and other crap to make me hate him. Because in any faith and in any God there is no room for hatred, except for real, eternal love.
* My name is human, but to stand out from the reptiles I must passionately love my enemy, any enemy presented to me by each well-wisher from a baby through the faces of their teachings, to make me like them, "reptile" that is, it was a trap for me to crawl with them but also for them to control me from above.
* My name is human, to whom they gave religion without asking, separating me from the rest of my fellow men and removing me from the one and only creator, the creator of the Universe, the knower of everything, the God of light and complete harmony. So I follow love, as taught by all the great teachers who passed from time to time on this planet, and whose teaching has nothing to do with ridiculousness, hatred, suffering, luxuries, properties, false religions and many other nooks and crannies of dark priesthoods.
* My name is Greek, from Il las – rock of light – because the brilliant Greek culture as handed down to me under my ancestors has nothing to do with it, with the one presented to me by the cunning people of Earth who falsified everything. I am Greek, not Nationalistic but Universal, because Hellenism means philosophy, search for essence and truth, but the main thing, Hellenism means HUMANISM.
* My name is philosopher, not in the negative sense of the term that some insidious people have given it but in the sense of the researcher of A - LITHEIA, for to philosophize means to love the truth, since “in sight, that I saw nothing", faithfully following the philosopher Socrates whom it is understood they exterminated, as they exterminated from time to time all who spoke truths that ran counter to the interests of every swindler on earth.
* My name is human – from above I rust – but to be human I must dare to look up, to face my higher self This is what you want to hear.
