In the Orthodox Church decided to serve in the Church Slavonic language, which is similar to Russian only with careful study.The sound of the language, which are in the temple, is very different from the usual for a Russian ear.
But in fact, the differences are not so much.It is enough to know the translation of a few words and the service will be much clearer.For example, the word "Amen", the meaning of which is unclear, translated from Greek means "truly".This word end, many prayers and chants.Man as it certifies that he fully agreed with what had just said, sure.
Coming to any service, praying often will not see the priest and deacon.This is the deacon goes out from the altar, and often calls "Paki, again in peace let us pray to the Lord ...."Of the appeal is understandable only to "pray to the Lord," but in fact all is not difficult "packs" - again, and the word "peace" is well known to most.It is a society of people, that is "the world" means "all together."
Orthodox prayers will not present any difficulty if they translate and comprehend, to make the word "amen."The value of prayer can understand almost everyone in a few minutes, but I think the main problem of modern man in another.Orthodox man aspires to humility and understanding of the internal motions of his soul.The shortest and common prayer in the Orthodox Church is, "Lord, have mercy!Amen! ", The value of this short prayer in theory, it is clear to everyone.The word "mercy" suggests inexpiable guilt by asking for mercy and from the master.Man of the XXI century with its pride is not so difficult to understand words such as "belly" (life) and "Amen", the value of the main prayers as aware of what was guilty before God.
How to find out what is sin?Sin is called a violation of God's will and God's will is reflected in the commandments.This concept has nothing to do with the concept of "justice", and especially "tolerance."The commandments given in the Old Testament, before the birth of Christ.After Christ came into the world, believers are to love one another, to do even better than the righteous of the Old Testament.In fact, now even the believers can not say that comply with all the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament.
rigorous approach to yourself, love for others, the desire to please God - are signs of a true Christian.
But to achieve all this on its own is not possible.Too strict demands on themselves Christians too weak flesh.That is why people are turning to God, "Have mercy!Amen! "The meaning of this prayer - to petition for help in spiritual device.Himself, without the help of God, can not cope.
meaning of the word "amen" is slightly different in different languages.According to some assumptions, "Amen" - an acrostic of the phrase "God - a true king," and he who utters the phrase, thereby confess the true God.
What does the word "amen" in the ancient texts of historical content?Again, this is a certificate that has been said above - the truth.
Currently, there are discussions on the use of the Russian language in the liturgy and reading of Scripture in the church.
unlikely that such a transition is intelligent, and he will not lead the crowd in the temple of the Orthodox people.Anyone who wants to understand, understand and learn, and the one who is indifferent to everything, will not engage in the spiritual life, no matter what language or read prayers.
