The text explores the apparent paradox of suffering experienced by the righteous while the wicked seem to prosper, ultimately explaining that trials and tribulations are a divine mechanism for purification, growth, and deeper connection with God, mirroring Christ's own suffering.

But you know, Elder,
many people who are just, pious, and virtuous,
pious, and virtuous,
and I will say this without any meaning,
have a complaint. I do
n't know. because
they find a series of afflictions and trials,
trials,
and on the contrary they find that
people who live far from God,
who are wicked in the city, do not
have afflictions and trials. Look,
Look,
in the midst of adversity
the poor man experiences respect. I
would like you to tell us. Yes. You will tell us
how it is compatible that
the righteous are tested
and that the wicked or those living far from God do
not know trials like
the righteous. I
'll see you later, I say. Well, I mean, do
n't interrupt her. So now,
God, with this goodness, has come
down and accepts man's return
. But the return of
man must be done in a just manner.
Because he was a hero. Nobody else.
Neither nature nor God. This is a
violator. Well, he
accepted his mental wounds within himself,
egoism with self-satisfaction, with philanthropy
, with egocentrism,
and in his physical passions with
philidonia through the taste of the paresistos.
paresistos.
Now God comes and says repent.
We repent. So, by asking
God for forgiveness for our mistake,
we practice absolute
humility, then we receive forgiveness.
In other words, we purified the mental trauma through
humiliation. But the physical trauma was
caused by some kind of knowledge.
knowledge. Well,
Well,
only pain will uproot this knowledge. And
so comes the philoponia, [music] the meaning
of the cross. For this
reason, the paternal act of the
Son of the living God who came to
save us could command and from there
show the practicality of his all-encompassing love.
He is forced to bind our members and
show the practical way of
self-denial by embracing the cross
and comprehensive charity.
Tell us that we ourselves, who
created philanthropy and
selfishness, will eradicate it with the same means
. Otherwise, injustice will be brought
against God because the moment of the fall
was a mistake in knowledge. God made
man with his
comprehensive, spiritual and
physical self-control. Therefore, now, in order for
repentance to be complete,
some effort must occur. This diligence is temptations.
temptations.
Now this temptation depends
on the intention that moves the person.
If man's impulse is toward
greater diligence, then God reduces
the manner of his temptations that he will
suffer. Because he entered into
charity and paid off the self-love and
charity of the past.
If blind people enter into these things, then the number of those
tempted increases.
This is the descending form of
debt fulfillment. Through pain,
through suffering, deprivation, and
fatigue, we lose all the elements of
phileidonia that we created in
our lives, rather than by the will of the divine will.
This is the descending form of
redemption. But there is also the ascending one,
which you mentioned first. Good and righteous people
who did not do such things or who later showed they were
sincere. Because now they too have
sorrows and here the second
meaning is born. The second meaning is the paternal
supremacy and the daemonism of God.
Because God, as God, knows
their incomprehensibility, that they have the ability
and power to ascend higher, yet they
have ignorance and ignorance.
Then, too, he gives them temptations
in order to elevate them,
and the righteous suffer so that they may fill
their vessel with more divinity, or so that
God may use them as instruments
in the building of the church,
as in Job.
So you see, a person is not considered old
. The guilt of man is
incomparable to the comprehensive, let's
say, eternal,
philidonia from there. The guilt of the rational
man hangs from the lack of
sanctification of the elder.
Because we believers have now received
strength within us. We received as our strength the
grace of the Holy Spirit that we had
previously lost, and the blessing and the ability
and the power to enter fully into
sanctification. We got these. But
where is it that we do not operate them
operate them
because precisely because the man's arrogance
or his poverty or his environment does not allow him,
God comes in a fatherly way and
dusts him and creates temptations for him, which are
precisely these temptations that complete the concept of
comprehensive philoponia, facing,
completing the commandment, what comes
after me and I did not love the cross unworthy of
me, and so on, there are
lovers of crosses not because they have arrived
and are paying, but because they want to
climb higher and buy with
honor for Philoponia this high place.
For the Lord, inviting man,
says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
And on the other hand, he
also tells us that you should know that
my yoke is slightly heavy. And he continues that in this
world you will have tribulation,
but you will overcome the world through your own will. And he
also tells us that through many tribulations we will
enter the kingdom of
heaven. Don't these seem a little strange to you?
No, they are very logical, because
they are very logical.
Because they are not very logical, since
our leader, our father, did not come
forward in the morning, and in fact we did it on the
Sabbath, meaning the crucifixion, we created it.
created it.
The son of God came here, and from his
crucifixion until we killed him, we
confronted it with all the viciousness
of his powers. We created the narrow
and tortuous path, and now
our Christ walked it without struggling or checking us.
When he was on the cross, he was thirsty and
asked for water, and they gave him vinegar, and
the elements attacked. When there is an
earthquake and when there is an eclipse,
God did not do these things. Let these
remaining elements and their slurps be swallowed up,
and then let her go. Father says
in their country they don't know what they are doing and
they stopped swallowing their data.
So you see that we created
the Pyrrhic dwarfism of Philoponia. We
forced him to pass through there and he passed through
safely and forgave us. Now he says that
whoever comes to find me must go through where
you did. Who created
the one of the cross? We didn't create it .
.
The Son of the living God came into the world, through whom all
things were made, and in no way were they made .
.
Not in hotels,
inns, or homes. There they had to
steal and steal. God
had no place. Then he asked the animals. The
animals pulled back and gave him
the frost. People didn't give him a
place. Go with the animals. As soon as they
wrap it up, they will kill it. He stands up to
become a refugee and doesn't whine.
Who created the concept of rivalry, we did not create it
. Now he says that where I
passed, you would pass too. Whoever
Pernes wants, let him deny his
crosses and follow him. Yes
. Now tell us, Father Joseph, do
you also realize that there are
many people in pain in our time?
Suffering, sorrow, grief
, trials, illnesses,
illnesses,
bad weather, glaciers, earthquakes
all of these create a depressing atmosphere
atmosphere
in humans.
Why is there so much pain today
in people's hearts and in
people's lives?
But why, old man, are you
saying this from his point of view? Why do
people complain?
Since people never look at what
God wants them to do and what
belongs to their nature, they
constantly create and live within the
concept of comprehensive absurdity. Well, this
is not justice.
Within the concept of inclusive
absurdity, there lives a human being who is the
small group.
Has today's man
completely ignored his destiny, that it is
logical, that he is a copy of the
model, that man is artificial,
God is the supreme being of all, the building, the
building, this is man as he
builds like beasts. So, therefore,
if God applies human
justice, he should have healed them,
and that was it. And their paternal
Turkish mother agrees to that point and
tells them, "Since you've done so much evil,
go back with the sword." I forgive again
. Well, that's the reason. Well, because
they don't accept it, I
told you about the way of diligence to wake up. Well,
those who are wise and awaken
understand this meaning and repent,
and those who accept it. But those who do not
accept and continue are thus destroying what they planted.
planted.
Since their whole life is absurd. It
is irrational philistinism and selfishness. Well, what comes
next is the pain. It is a
natural phenomenon. What one sows, one reaps
. Since he has not done any kindness
or virtue. Every continuation is understood as a concept of the absurdity of the
evil of the
comprehensive. Of course, these things naturally give rise to
and even exacerbate pain.
They are seeds that
man himself creates through
But no one wants to be in
pain and suffer. Well, he doesn't want to
hurt, but there's no other way here.
Since it's raining here. If he doesn't want to
hurt and suffer, he should stop sinning. That
sinning. That
is, when the cause of pain is sin.
sin.
Of course, the cause of pain is sin.
For since he extends peace to us,
God, when he abides with us, we
are at peace. But since they don't
stay together, they don't want to, they don't have
room to enter. Since peace is leaving,
suffering will inevitably overtake us, because we
belong to the realm of
decay, destruction, and death. They are
the contents of his place here. The
contents of decay and death
that are the tools of the devil, of
destruction. That's it. If one wants to
avoid them, one must unite with God,
self-life, and peace.
These are related lessons by necessity.
When we, elders, lose our way and
find ourselves in a place where there is a
heat wave, we should not give up, nothing will come of it .
.
We must understand that we must
flee from that place or there
is rot and filth in the place. We
have to get out of there because the
place is dying. These. So here too he is an
elder. That is why our Christ came
here and suppressed hard work so that he would
not give it a command from above. Hey, let's
say, yes, well, you are God, but I
can handle it, and he came in and handled it.
handled it.
What did the Son of God owe to be
persecuted from his birth
and to go around the streets and the streets of the
holy places, healing, raising the
dead, and comforting? No, he must be
killed. and he insisted.
Nice. Christ came down to earth. He
was burdened with the full weight of sins. He
took on the guilt of all
people, and with his sacrifice on the cross
and with the blood shed on Golgotha, he
signed the contract of friendship between
man and God, but also cleansed
man from the feeling of guilt,
from the burden of sin. Now what do
all the rest need? He did
not cleanse them, but cleansed them for
the repentant, for those who
found the way. He who sins will
not be paid by Christ, and the
sinner will enter into the place of life.
Events. He who is in a state of confusion from
the meaning of the absurd. How will he enter into the
place of life in a body
due to sin? Yours and come.
Why do you say this? With Christ he
paid for the sin that we, after whom
he was exiled. We had no
more life. And he came with his position
and opened the door of life.
But for the repentant, for those
who deny sin, who deny
the devil and death, those who
live how they will enter with God. The
communication of Christ, the light of the
communication, the light of the body,
in the debt of sin, we have sought your God.
The action of the irrational does not become an elder; we do
not love life and
God. Yes. Tell us, old man. So,
as you say, we all live in a
society that is known
for decay and death.
In decay and death. But where will we
find a better society,
those of us who believe in God? We want to
believe in God. It does
n't have It doesn't have good society here. How
will we face all this sorrow and
trial? How does the Christian
stand today and how should he face
the trials of life?
Why do one follow the other
and the lesser comes after the
lesser, the greater and most
painful. What will the believer do? This is what we
want you to tell us.
But what will Christ do? Christ is
not the believer. The believer. Let the rest live
according to God's command. How many, he says, are
faithful from the beginning of time? We are not only
faithful today. They have been faithful for 2,000 years now.
We have millions of witnesses and
confessors to this. You see in the confession with the
slightest thing. Look, we have witnesses here.
We have witnesses here in the Balkans who
testified about the diet. They were forced to
begin the great tribulation and they did
not accept and were martyred.
Here, understand the issue is denial and
confession of everything or do I believe in God?
No, my name is Mr. Ben. Not
anyone who abstractly believes that I am
God. I am God, but only he who has
my commandments and keeps them.
That is, if we, elders, keep
God's commandments and base our lives on
God's will, there will be no pain. There
will be. But there is an inner
comfort that gives us courage and not
only do we not fear death. We challenge even more
you two. We have examples.
You see, I told you so, and I told you so the other time
. The new martyrs. The
last one of the new martyrs in
1800 had. We took him alive, he was a poor little
boy, but he was beautiful. And
I saw us do his bidding. We
grabbed the cameraman alive. He says, "You said to be," he
says to him. No, I didn't say that. I say you said I didn't say I don't say I won't say I'll
burn you alive you bastard I'll
pay for the wood he says and he took out
his little portogon and gave me the money to
buy a taxi to burn him what was this
if the theurgic passion wasn't burning inside him
did he do this thing or would he
tell them like that because another day he would become a
general according to the world
whoever denies me I will deny him. Denialists
are not dogmatic. It
is both ethical
and traditional.
For God is revealed here, representing
God for the church, for the sake of the
church. You see, the fathers, the
ancients who were truly
fathers, they delved into the depths of
philosophy and paved the way for us on how to
live. They told us everything in detail
and how to make our cross even.
These are not millions of witnesses.
If today, because we opened the
doors and the
bankruptcy of the Western world entered our country, you understand,
and now we are copying them instead of the
tradition of our ancestors, now it is no one's fault. That's how
one's fault. That's how
our ancestors were. Now
we copy these atheists, the
dehumanized, the dehumanized. They don't believe
anything. Now the Archbishop
of England is officially teaching. Here we do
not have an ending for the resurrection of Christ
. There is no resurrection of the dead.
The Church of England of America stands up
and says what Orthodoxy means,
what Orthodoxy means. Everyone is one. It
is God. And so let's not say, "
They all influenced us at the time
and we went off our path." Because
our ancestors didn't say such things.
things.
The life of our ancestors, what is it? Let these so- called
called
great and great people today prove to us their ethics and what
their lives are like. How can we
believe them? They believe nothing,
and Gialos has an instrument and is fighting us.
us.
We who believe,
yes, accept the trials and
tribulations, and we accept them in the sense
that God tests us, sends us tribulations
tribulations
to purify us, to elevate us, to
cleanse our hearts, to sanctify
and perfect them. Therefore, the
Christian, faced with pain, sorrow
and trial, should not see
God's justice fulfilled or
God's justice realized, [music] but God's love.
For the Lord disciplines the earth for us, and all the
sons he accepts. The half-month is
over, so save
our patience, build it, not avoid it.
so that the Christian must see trial,
trial,
sorrow, illness and pain, distress
and suffering as a
visitation and blessing from God.
But can we do that today? It's
not possible. We will say it and
accept it and tell
our believers.
Know that this obstacle and this
difficulty and these sorrows are a
manifestation of God's love for you and
for me and for all people.
This is the truth. The leader also invented it
. What was the need for Christ to
kill him, to torture him, to
slander him, and to ask for
water in his dying breath, which is not denied to the
greatest of criminals, and they will give him
vinegar and gall, and to forgive? Apart from her, the Hungarian father continued.
continued.
We follow this as a model. Who is
our father? This is our life. He
is everything and he endured it all for us
without needing
to show us the way or struggles
and to continue.
Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny
himself and take up his cross and follow him.
follow him.
This is the truth. You won't see. Put me in .
.
Nice. You told us that well. Here the
Lord, instead of promising us comforts,
pleasures and complete success in life and
a blissful life with all goods,
promises us sorrow, trial, cross, and
within the meaning of the cross lies
all the love of God.
Because each of us must take up our own
cross. If they want these things, let them
go to Islamic ideology.
His Islamic ideology is dripping with such things here
in the world. [laughs]
They find it to be
yes. so that Christians have hypostatic
copies of the model. Let us win
life and our Christ with the means
that we created for him.
Through many sorrows, she shares responsibility in
life. Because man is an old man,
even with the slightest thing. He is carried away
by selfishness and egoism and
cannot stand on his own two feet. For
this reason, the epimetronon is the comprehensive
philopony that banishes the mother of
death, the so-called knowledge.
The mother of death is and is called
knowledge and is uprooted only through the
concept of pain, through comprehensive
diligence, through the lifting of the comprehensive cross.
cross.
And here we have the examples of an eternal saint. We
saint. We
wanted to go to God in life. We
will go to the Saints. He doesn't have any friends.
How did these people, even righteous,
holy people, get in?
Here the truth is an old man. We
cannot make developments because
today the devil creates with his own
means. Truth as truth is
impervious to change, discussion,
alteration, and transformation. Truth
is a face. It's not an idea.
We were here, the truth, and it walked with
us. He practically implemented everything they
gave him as a command. Because, as the
evangelist says, Jesus came
and taught. The sinless God created the concept of
Philoponia to
teach his sons,
his children. Those who want to go with him will
go where he went.
Hey, elder, a certain Christian said that he
read in the gospel that loving
God always cooperates in good deeds and he
interpreted it on his own. He says, I
love, I love God. I loved God
and believed that no matter what I did, everything would work out for me
. I will not encounter
difficulties in life. But why do I encounter
God since I love Him, I believe in
God, I praise God, I pray to
God, I ask for His help. But why does
everything seem to be going wrong for me, we
said, old man, there's no other way.
It is the comprehensive meaning of the cross.
It is the comprehensive meaning of the cross.
Because he loves God and says so. What
does [music] say about what he did for God,
then he says he loves God. The
guard is the caticonium.
Why doesn't he look inside because the
Christian elder is not responsible for the
crime there? The Christian is
responsible for the lack of sanctification. We
received the power of sanctification from
baptism. Who holds
