Father Siluan:
Is mankind so perfect that he cannot be at times wrong about something? Have you never come to realize that a long held belief was wrong? (I do not necessarily mean just about religious belief) Why then is it so impossible to believe that these men have also come to such a conclusion. As a Man of God why is it so hard for you and others such as you to believe that God works in mysterious ways? Why is it so hard for you to believe that God might be working towards something in all this mess? Or do you not believe that God works in all our lives?
The way you and others portray God...He is impotent and unable to do anything in this world except by your leave....because you have deemed it worthy.
I think you and others need to re-examine your belief in God.
Someone recently wrote the following.....
Think about the day you die, and facing God.
Picture this: In His right hand, He holds an icon.The icon is of you, as He envisioned you when He created you. In His lefthand, He holds a mirror, and you get to judge how much the image in the mirror resembles the image in the icon. The catch is, since you are standing before God, you will be unable to fake it, or gloss the image up at all.
The point of this exercise is to help you to realize that God created you with certain gifts and talents, which He expects you to use -- not necessarily to the Betterment of Mankind, but to His greater glory. He had something specific in mind when He created you.
Now what are you left with?
It made realize that we focus on everything but GOD. I think in all this it is passed time to let GOD handle this problem and not faulty mankind.
