It's a well-known  notion that not everything happens by God's will but everything happens by His permission. How to understand this? Isn't permission an action that follows will? How to recognize the Lord's blessed will, which is entirely good, and His permitting will, which can act because of respecting the human free will?

What does external peace give to the world and does it suffice? What is the difference between external and internal peaces? Why was Christ called the Prince of Peace while Satan, the prince of this world? Does this mean that the domain of the prince of this world can't hold the true peace? We know what wars cost and what price we pay for them; what is then the price of peace?

There have been events in the life of each of us that have been like a miracle. But this hasn't been a prerequisite for all to believe in God's existence and turn to the Lord.

Why did Jesus give so much importance to Peter's confession of faith? Why did He say that it wasn't body and blood that revealed it to him but only the heavenly Father? On the one hand, it is Christ that is called a rock in Isaiah's Prophesy, and on the other hand the Lord calls Peter a rock. How to understand this? Shouldn't each Christian be like a rock on which God's living Church, both the triumphant and the militant, has been built and continues to be built?

Every day we pronounce words but how many of our words in a day concern eternal things? Why are we so attached to earthly and temporary things?

Why does the Lord present, on the one hand, His real brothers and sisters, and on the other hand says that anyone who loves their family members more than Him is not worthy of Him? Is it possible that these words are about hermits and monks? Maybe they are about our attachments? And how can loving be more or less; can love be measured?

What phenomenon is the Enlightener as a person, patriarch and Christian? Why did he choose to serve God exactly where his martyrdom was inevitable? What was the reason that after the bloodless martyrdom of 14 years he was so humble that did not consecrate any church until he got the right for consecration? Why did he give priority to spiritual healing rather than bodily healing in the process of Christianization of the whole nation?

• Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan

When we speak about the fall of the man expelled from the Paradise, what do we think about the reason of his fall? What diminished in him? What did his physical and spiritual body change into? Does not Satan promise the same to humans today as what he promised to the first man in the Paradise? Don't modern people attempt to become almighty, that is gods, without God? Where will this lead humanity?
