Мониторинг СМИНередко от православных христиан требуют осудить любое применение силы. В качестве аргументов используют библейские цитаты: «не убий», «взявший меч от меча и погибнет», «подставь правую щеку» и другие. А некоторые христиане порой впадают в противоположную крайность и заявляют, что насилие, если оно «во имя правды», вполне может быть делом богоугодным. Вразумляемые Божественной мудростью, используем дни Святой Четыредесятницы для борьбы с нашими злыми помыслами и со страстями Наступил Великий пост, и мы продолжаем разговор о том, как верующему человеку бороться со своими страстями с настоятелем Петропавловского храма города Саратова игуменом Нектарием (Морозовым). Предлагаем вашему вниманию вторую часть беседы.
