Hal\u00edk:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6. Method of relativism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hal\u00edk deals with the question whether <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all religions are in essence the same and equally valid<\/span>: <em>\u201cI can give three different answers and insist on each of them: NO, I DO NOT KNOW, MAYBE.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cMy answer is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">NO<\/span> if someone says that \u2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">religions are in essence the same<\/span>\u2019. I definitely negate this statement as a religionist who, upon closer study of religion, can see a number of differences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Hal\u00edk\u2019s answer, at first glance, is correct: NO. But the reason he gives reveals that the whole problem of the relationship of Christianity and pagan cults is built on a false foundation. The essence of Christianity and the essence of paganism are two contradictory things. Christianity worships one God the Creator, who saved us in His Son. Paganism worships demons by immorality, cynicism and even ritual human sacrifice. The modern term \u201cworld religions\u201d is used for mixing contradictory, absolutely incompatible directions as Christianity and paganism. It is ideological manipulation intended to promote the spirit of the New Age and to establish the NWO. The most powerful means to this end is \u201cinterreligious dialogue\u201d which destroys the essence of Christianity and internally converts it to the New Age. Hal\u00edk is a supporter of this self-destructive process of Christianity.<!--more--> He erroneously places Christianity on a level with pagan cults. Unfortunately, the declaration Nostra Aetate (1965) and the gesture of John Paul II in Assisi (1986) opened the door to this heresy in the Church. The new heretical stream runs counter to the whole tradition of the Church and its nature. The fruit for the Christian peoples is a curse in the form of a homodictatorship, child stealing by the juvenile justice system, and gender schizophrenia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pagans worship different idols and animals \u2013 sacred cows and snakes in India or dragons in China etc. Paganism is associated with occultism, i.e. magic, divination and spiritualism, while the whole Scripture and Christianity are radically opposed to it. The duty of Christians is mission, and not interreligious dialogue. The latter is the path to self-destruction of Christianity. It paves the way for the antimission of paganism on Christian territory. Hal\u00edk vehemently promotes pagan antimission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hal\u00edk continues: <em>\u201cIn answer to the question if all religions are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">equally valid<\/span> I have to say honestly: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I DO NOT KNOW<\/span>, and essentially, I do not trust people who pretend to know it, be their answer a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">definite<\/span> yes or no. This is, in fact, a question that can only be addressed to God; no man knows \u2018all religions\u2019 so much that he could adequately compare or evaluate them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cIn answer to the question if all religions are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">equally valid<\/span> I have to say honestly: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I DO NOT KNOW<\/span>\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Hal\u00edk disguises his hypocrisy and manipulation with honesty. Paganism boycotts salvation and leads to perdition, while Christianity leads to eternal life. So there is a diametric difference, but Hal\u00edk obscures it and makes a religious conglomerate of contradictory things. Being a Catholic priest, he is obliged to know the fundamental truths of the faith and to represent them instead of giving the answer <em>\u2018I DO NOT KNOW\u2019<\/em>. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hal\u00edk presents basic ignorance as wisdom, thus deliberately excluding the possibility of a correct answer<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201c\u2026and essentially, I do not trust people who pretend to know it, be their answer a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">definite<\/span> yes or no.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Every Christian believer, and a fortiori a Catholic priest, must know his identity. The fundamental truths are clearly expressed in the Christian Creed recited by every Christian. Hal\u00edk considers ignorance of the truths of faith to be \u201chigher\u201d wisdom. It is as if a physician is unable to diagnose and treat the rudimentary diseases and just says pathetically: <em>\u201cHonestly I must say that I do not know what disease you have and essentially, I do not trust people who pretend to know it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cThis is, in fact, a question that can only be addressed to God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Hal\u00edk does not know that God has already given a clear answer in many places in the Bible to this question of the faith in Him and the worship of pagan cults. It is shameful that Hal\u00edk does not know it. The First Commandment of the Decalogue reads: <em>\u201cI am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods&#8230;\u201d<\/em> It means that God forbids His people to mix the worship of Him with the worship of false gods \u2013 demons. When the Israelites transgressed this commandment, wars came as a punishment. In the end, the Babylonian exile was also the result of the fact that instead of the one God they worshipped demons in the Baals and Ashtoreths, and even offered human sacrifices to Molech. They thus degraded God by placing Him on a level with the pagan cults of the surrounding nations. This syncretism is an extremely grave sin and a crime against the faith, whether in Old Testament times or today. It destroys the personal relationship with God and substitutes it with the false worship of demons who manifest themselves in different forms of magic, divination and spiritualism. The prophets called this syncretism spiritual adultery. Unfortunately, Hal\u00edk does not know or does not want to know this essential thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201c\u2026no man knows \u2018all religions\u2019 so much that he could adequately compare or evaluate them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Saying that <em>\u201cno man knows all religions\u201d<\/em>, Hal\u00edk once again promotes the heresy that Christianity and pagan cults are essentially the same, and this is a deceit! A Christian missionary does not know pagan cults and does not need to know them. A true missionary knows his identity, unlike Hal\u00edk who knows it not. A missionary brings pagans to Christ and salvation and conducts no interreligious dialogue. He preaches to them the fullness of the Gospel. Hal\u00edk is not a missionary but an anti-missionary. It can be seen by the fruit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cHowever, there are situations in which I can, and to some extent I have to, answer: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MAYBE<\/span> as to the truth and value of different religions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: This whole sentence is heretical because he takes it for granted that the term \u2018different religions\u2019 unifies Christianity and paganism. As for the truth and value of pagan cults, in essence they lead people to destruction and boycott the truth and the way of salvation. And if there is something true and valuable in these pagan cults, it is used as a disguise and trap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hal\u00edk\u2019s speculation in joining Christianity and paganism is as if we speculated that 1+1 is not two but <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">maybe eleven,<\/span> or that white is maybe black.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cIt is when I enter into dialogue with believers of other religions&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Hal\u00edk\u2019s statement brings a spirit of heresy by calling the worshippers of demons \u201cbelievers\u201d just like Christians. In Europe, the concept of \u201cbelievers\u201d is synonymous with Christians and not Hindus who are \u201cbelievers\u201d in a sacred cow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hal\u00edk has the following standards for the so-called dialogue:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cI have to admit the truth of someone else\u2019s faith at least as a possibility&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: But if a Hindu regards a cow as a goddess and animals as gods, and I have to admit the possibility of substituting the true God with the pagan cult of a cow, it is a loss of reason, blasphemy and apostasy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cI have to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">admit that I am wrong<\/span>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: Yes, I may be wrong in some partial assertion, but not so Christ whose truths I have received and now testify about them as the word of salvation and life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cIn short, if I want to conduct a true dialogue, I must set aside the conviction that I am the sole owner of all truth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: This Hal\u00edk\u2019s attitude is spiritual suicide for a Christian. Two NWO\u2019s ideological means to destroy Christianity are hidden behind the terms 1) \u201cworld religions\u201d, 2) \u201cinterreligious dialogue\u201d. If I adopt these terms, I find myself on a level where the truth of Christianity being the opposite of paganism is destroyed. Christianity leads to salvation, and paganism to perdition. Enforcing the NWO\u2019s ideological terms is part of the spiritual warfare the aim of which is that Christians lose the right orientation and accept false paradigms leading to internal apostasy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is mission necessary?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cMission should never be proselytism, winning over believers&#8230; Hunting people who are rooted in their religions, e.g. Jewish believers or Muslims (Hindus, Buddhists), seems incorrect to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: This Hal\u00edk\u2019s attitude leads to total destruction of Christian mission. Jesus said to the Apostle Paul: <em>\u201cI send you to the Gentiles to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.\u201d<\/em> (cf. Acts 26:18) The apostles and missionaries of all the centuries fulfilled this commandment of Christ. But Hal\u00edk says: <em>\u201cMission should never be proselytism, winning over believers<\/em> (from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God)&#8230; <em>Hunting people who are rooted in their religions<\/em> (in bondage to demon worship), <em>seems incorrect to me.\u201d<\/em> Who shall we listen to? Shall we listen to our Saviour Jesus Christ and save the souls through mission, or shall we listen to Hal\u00edk with the spirit of antichrist?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quote<\/span>: <em>\u201cIf the Catholic Church, thank God, quietly renounced the perverted statement: \u2018Outside the Church there is no salvation\u2019, and confesses through the mouth of the Council and of Pope John Paul II that the genuine believers of other religions can be saved, it is necessary to draw the practical conclusions therefrom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Response<\/span>: The Church of Christ has never renounced and cannot renounce the clear command of Christ: <em>\u201cGo into all the world and teach all nations. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.\u201d<\/em> (cf. Mt 28:19, Mk 16:16f)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ancient teachings of the Church say that if someone had no opportunity to hear the true preaching of the Gospel of salvation, he can be saved if he sincerely seeks the truth and lives according to his conscience, knowing that he will give an account to God for his life. However, this teaching has been <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">extremely exaggerated after the Council<\/span> with a contribution of the theory of \u2018anonymous Christianity\u2019. A true Christian, following the example of the Apostle Paul, is obliged to deliver pagans <em>from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God<\/em> rather than promote heretical theories of interreligious dialogue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hal\u00edk does not hold to the orthodox Catholic doctrine but, being a heretic, preaches heresies denying the essence of Christianity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">+ Methodius OSBMr \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 + Timothy OSBMr<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Secretary Bishops of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?page_id=9564\">https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/?page_id=9564<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">28 January 2016<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Download: <a href=\"https:\/\/vkpatriarhat.org\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Is-the-priest-T.Halik-a-heretic-part-6.doc\">Is the priest T.
