The Greatest Commandment


Love to the end, love to the end. And this is very logical. Why? If it is true that man is the image of God, then every human being is born in the image of God, because man is created that way and is called to be like God. If we are the image of God, we cannot love God, but at the same time despise his image on earth. What is the great commandment, how do we apply it in our lives? Archimandrite Ruben Zargaryan speaks on this.

 

The voice of many is the voice of God?


The voice of many is not the voice of God, but the voice of the ruling system. Barabbas, who was a robber, a rebel, a false ideal of liberation, a false symbol. The liberation proposed by Jesus was not this false liberation, but the people gave preference to the false path of liberation, which later cost them tragedy.
How does the Holy Scripture prove that the voice of the people does not express the voice of God? Archimandrite Ruben Zargaryan speaks on this.
 

Babylon, "Gate of the Gods"


The building of the tower of Babylon was the first collective sin. Here, a manifestation of sin takes place in a social, political, and collective sense. If in the Adam and Eve episode, or in the Cain and Abel episode, individual sins are committed, then here a collective sin is committed, which is the sin of power. In any collectivity, there is always a problem of abuse of power and the word of the power that has dominion passes. What is the contrast between the Tower of Babel and the ceremonies of Pentecost, what similarities do they have with our life today? Archimandrite Ruben Zargaryan speaks on this.
