Archpriest Oleg Batov - about the incompatibility of love and violence
To rule the nations with a rod of iron - this is what the spiritual authorities expected from God 2000 years ago. But He instead gave his son to death - to atone for the sins of man. Church hierarchs still preach goodness with their fists - and the more, the further they are from Christ. He gives love to the world. Psychologists talk about the incompatibility of love and violence. But the Gospel speaks about the same thing - if you just read it carefully.
