Why is God love? How do human and divine loves differ from each other? If God is love, how can He also be a judge, send to hell and avenge? Aren't the just judgment and love antipodes? Won't love be the only function in those inhabiting the Heavenly Kingdom? How to attain divine love in this weak human body?

• Fr. Smbat Sargsyan

Why is it so easy to judge another person,  not forgive and not tolerate others, while the opposite actions are often achieved as a result of great hardship and spiritual efforts? Why are many people more afraid of the judgment of the people than of God? On the other hand, we are afraid to show others their mistakes, saying: Who am I to judge them? Doesn't this take us to the other extreme?

• Fr. Mikayel Nurijanyan

In order to understand where the Church is and where it should be, perhaps it is necessary to first ask what or who the Church is. Why is this question asked mainly by those who do not go to church and do not take part in community life and Divine Liturgies? Why do they criticize the Church? Where is actually the Church, and where not to look for her?

Why does the Bible consider homosexuality as one of unnatural passions? Why do many Protestant denominations today interpret the history of Sodom and Gomorrah differently with its cause-and-effect relations? Why does the Western world that is based on Christian civilization accept homosexuality with open arms nowadays, considering it a choice of human will? How to live and raise children in a world that establishes such rights?

Why did the descent of the Holy Spirit happen after the Lord's ascension, and why did the Lord inform about that beforehand? How did the Holy Spirit pour out? Did He pour out only on the apostles, and what did that pouring give the apostles?

Who is the person living a spiritual life? What is important in the spiritual life? What loses its importance through spiritual glasses? What does a human deem important in life when he or she has not yet found God and after finding Him? How to distinguish important things from unimportant ones?

• Fr. Ghazar Petrosyan

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?

• Fr. Dajad Davidian

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?

• Reader Khachik Vardanyan

On the one hand, the Lord says: "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," and on the other hand He says, "Take My yoke on you." How to understand this? What do the words "yoke" and "burden" mean here? How to share Christ's burden and yoke?

• Reader Karen Hovsepyan

What's the reason for using the words Word and Logos interchangeably for Christ in different texts? How to understand the Beginning if it's about the Uncreated One with no beginning? How to live in the Word of the Lord or in God the Word?

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. How can different occasions and circumstances result in worship of the same God? How does the life of the human who has found God differ from the life of someone who hasn't found Him?

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? Can anything that is not for the eternal life, is not eternal, be a value in reality? Can we create eternal values in the little steps of our everyday life?

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?

• Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan

What did the fact of the Resurrection of Christ give humanity? Aren't the true Christians the fruits of that Resurrection? In our daily mortal life, how can we profit from the fruits of the Lord's Resurrection? In which case will the Resurrection as a permit to eternal life bypass humans?

• Fr. Hovsep Sargsyan

How to recognize the little and the big, and what is faithfulness in a very little thing? The theme of the "little human" has been discussed since the beginning of the last century. Modern humans have become even smaller in their everyday tasks. Today, people more speak of the factor of social groups than of individuals. Isn't the art of little steps predominantly the issue of modern humans? How to persevere in the faithfulness in little things?

The Holy Week that is also called a week of passions is full of events that bring the earthly works of the economy of our Lord Jesus Christ to accomplishment. This is a week full of awe-inspiring mysteries. What spiritual lessons should Christians learn from this week that ends Lent and brings the good tidings of the Resurrection?

• Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan

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?

We can see the Holy Spirit's presence during the creation when He willed that the creation would come to existence, commanded, and it happened. Isn't the human being, who has been created in the image and likeness of God, also tripartite in this sense? What to do so that humans speak what they want and that they do what they say? And what to do so that humans may want, speak and do only good things?

• Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan

Many think that God deprived humans from the free will when He put a prohibition in the Paradise. Is this conclusion correct? So freedom was given to humans to choose between good and evil. But was there an alternative to this? Many people say they live according to their understanding, not according to God or evil. Is there a third way, which means there are many ways and, consequently, many choices? Today is the Sunday of Expulsion of Lent. If we didn't have the possibility to implement free will, would the expulsion be justified as a result of a wrong deed?

What does Jesus call "trouble"? How to follow someone who doesn't promise welfare, comfort, glory and honor, but says that we will have trouble and that the door is narrow?
