Thus the Pope and patriarchs of Orthodox churches, if they pretend on enlightening peoples with the Truth, should thoroughly know other religious dogmas for see and expose their errors in Life with dignity and honour and without insulting the believers of other religions.
[36] There is no ready for use sociological doctrine at the level of global importance in Koran, but there is all needed for people to create it in harmony with God. However, it needs a creative work, but not a worship of the rug for prayers, which many Muslims content themselves to and what they think to be the true Islam.
[37] So-called “Sociological doctrine of Russian Orthodox Church” is a document estranged from life, and so religiously and scientifically ungrounded. And Shariat is not a doctrine, but the result of Muslim ruling “elite” timeserving to life under slogans of Koranic Islam.
[38] Matthew, 5:39. But Koran says: «Repel evil with that which is best» (Sura 23:96).
[39] This is the literal translation of the word “Evangelium” (the Gospel).
[40] Christ’s teaching collected from fragmentary parts existing in the New Testament appears in the next form (our commentaries are given in italic):
«The Law and the Prophets (“the Law and the Prophets” in the time of Christ are called now “the Old Testament”) were until John (the Baptiser, the Baptist); since then the good news of the Kingdom of God (in Arabian language the Kingdom of God is called Islam) is preached, and everyone forces his way into it (Luke, 16:16). But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things (in the context: the welfare at the Earth) will be added to you (Matthew, 6:33). For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of God (in the canonical version it is said “Kingdom of Heaven”, but it surely must mean “Kingdom of God”) (Matthew, 5:20).
The Lord our God, the Lord is one (Mark, 12:29 – there is not a single hint on Trinity). You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets (i.e. that Christ didn’t mean that all prophecies of the Old Testament should realize – he meant “I say to you, not heaven and earth pass away, until everyone becomes a righteous man”). (Matthew, 22:37-40). Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of God (and here is ‘the Kingdom of Heaven’, but it should be ‘the Kingdom of God’ in the context), but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew, 7:21). And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (…) If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! (Luke, 11:9, 10, 13). When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth (John, 16:13).
You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Matthew, 20:25-28). (In Koran the same: «then strive together (as in a race) towards all that is good» – Sura 2:148)
Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark, 11:22-24). Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew, 6:9-13).
The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, (…) the kingdom of God is in the midst of you (Luke, 17:20,21).
In the works by Internal Predictor of the USSR (Внутренний Предиктор СССР) “Towards God’s Kingdom…”, “«Master and Margaret»: a Hymn to Demonism? Or the Gospel of the Covenantless Faith”, “Dialectics and Atheism: Two Incompatible Essences” we explain that this is the true teaching of Christ and that it is in harmony with Koranic teaching.
[41] The Creed given in 1975 ecumenical version (from Wikipedia: ):
«We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.»
As you understand there is no common thing in the Creed and the teaching of Christ cited from the Gospels.
[42] The Nicene Council, which accepted the first edition of The Creed and confirmed the New Testament canons, took place in 325 AD.
[43] And as it is said in Koran and it was cited above: «Conjecture will not avail aught against the truth».
[44] Koran, Sura 13:6: « Most surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness to people, notwithstanding their injustice! ».
[45] Isaiah, 53:10; I John, 2:2, 4:10; Romans, 3:25.
[46] Solomon tells about aims of impious people in the “Book of Wisdom of Solomon” – non-canonical book, that is excluded from the most versions of Bible. However it can be found in all Russian Orthodox editions (); in Latin Bible: Nova Vulgata (); and in English in King James Version (however not every site gives the full version of King James Bible, we cited it from here: ).
«12. Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education. 13. He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. 14. He was made to reprove our thoughts. 15. He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. 16. We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. 17. Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. 18. For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 19 . Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. 20. Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected» (The Wisdom of Solomon, 2:12-20, the orthography is left unchanged).
