01:14 The Gospel says that Christ drove the traders out of the temple: (21:13) "My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." But trade can be seen in our churches too. What can you say about this? 05:41 Modern churches and services are often captured by cameras. Is there a way out of this situation? Perhaps filming should be stopped at certain moments of the service? 07:12 Then we read how a father said to his sons: "Go and work in the vineyard." One answered: "I will not," and then, repenting, went. The other said: "Yes, I will go to work," and did not go. (21:31) "Which of the two did the will of his father?" 15:37 Jesus says: (21:42-43) “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected... The kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation producing its fruits.’” 17:31 Why was Christ not accepted, although it was obvious that he was a special person, different from others, and that the Scripture was truly being fulfilled? 19:33 The following 22nd chapter contains the famous phrase: (22:14) “Many are called, but few are chosen.” Tell me, who are those called and who are the chosen? And what does this parable talk about? 26:17 How can you understand that you are “in clean clothes”? You can say to yourself: “Yes, I am not worthy,” and this can be a self-deception. So what should you do in such a situation? Should you still go and receive communion? 28:01 How often do you think you need to receive communion? Some people say that we need to take communion every Sunday, while others say something completely different. What is your opinion? 30:12 The next verse of chapter 22: (22: 30) “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven.” 33:52 Tell me, will people who were married on earth also have some kind of spiritual relationship after the Second Coming of Christ? 36:07 (23: 2) “And he said, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.” I think we need to start by explaining who the scribes and the Pharisees are. 39:43 In the West, people often know the Scriptures very well, know the Holy Fathers, read their works in the original, but at the same time remain unbelievers. What can you say about this? 42:10 The Gospel says, “Leave your father, your mother, your wife, your brother, your sister,” but it doesn’t say anything about your husband. Does this mean that a woman has no right to leave her husband and go, for example, to a monastery? 44:11 Let’s continue. (23:9-10) “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for one is your Father, who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers, for one is your Teacher, Christ.” 46:20 (23:12) “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” This is an interesting passage worth examining. 48:17 What should you do when two people work for a common cause, but one wants to get more than the other? If you want to take responsibility, you will exalt yourself, but if you leave, the cause will be lost. 51:45 (23:23) “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and anise and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, and not to neglect the others.” 53:38 (23:29-31) “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets… You testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.” But we also erect monuments and decorate churches. 1:00:32 Often, worthy people have children who are the complete opposite of them. Why does this happen? 1:03:11 I submit notes for the proskomedia on behalf of my relatives, but they do not go to church and, I see, they fall into even greater sins. Is there a connection here? 1:07:46 It goes on to say that when Christ was with the disciples and they showed Him the building of the temple, He answered: (24: 2) “Do you see all this? Truly I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another; everything will be thrown down.” 1:10:50 Christ says: (24: 12) “And because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.” Is this talking about the end times? 1:12:45 Can this be applied to the present time? We meet fewer and fewer people who are willing to help, and we often meet embittered people. (Soyuz TV Channel, 2017.10.11) ????
