Spying and Lying
We all know that there are two types of deeds, the good ones and the evil ones. In any of the events of helping a neighbour to open a blocked gate or not helping somebody who is to collapse in front of a moving vehicle, God forbid, one has to decide why a given action had to be taken, according to own conscience which knows the answer. Thoughts always precede deeds. Many of the intimate ideas and opinions that one has, one would not divulge to others, of course! Obviously, ‘someone’ who is not your friend would want to know such intimate thoughts (good or bad) of yours. In case of witnessing Christ, such deed can be endangered by your enemy with ‘new’ types of coercions and threats. Of course, there is a ‘diplomatic’ method according to this world, which is a way of confining the truth with the firm belief in the facade…
What has this first paragraph to do with ‘spying’? Well, spying is a method inspired and encouraged by the devil. Lucifer was spying on both Adam and Eve, in Paradise, for understanding what kind of creatures are these two persons, who have been promised by the Lord something that the devil lost some time before… That chief-demon understood that Adam could not be tricked, as he was the first one fashioned by God and should not follow the devil directly, whereas Eve, as a being made out of Adam’s flesh and with a higher divine understanding, could be deceived as she resonated spiritually, quicker… One can be well accustomed to grasp things in the spirit, but the higher the spirit, the lower one can fall, when one is incapable to keep the oath to God…
Why do we have such professions around, so that one secretly monitors another person who is un-aware of this business? In theory, spies as government employees or rather soldiers, of a certain nation, who work towards stopping foreigners or some traitors of possible damage to a national society. We all talk to each other and we talk to our friends, but hopefully never think to harm them by spreading lies or scattering dear confessions! In this world of struggle, where is this curiosity to know more about one’s political anxiety coming from? The idea behind spying everybody, all the time and through all methods is given by the devil’s suggestion of a false witness to Christ, to make people hide their true self in order to avoid trouble, because we live in a society of so many Christ haters…
When ‘yes’ is not anymore ‘yes’, but turns into a lie, the entire soul is sold to the real enemy. This ‘arrest’ could turn into eternity that is a ruined eternity. Spying can become something that looks like an ordinary job, as such professionals rely more on the ‘amateurs’, laypersons who have some patriotic reasons into joining the ‘professionals’. Once, during the time of Lenin who was the demon-in-chief of Soviet Union, a Western interviewer asked him about future times in regards to necessary larger number of professional ‘detectives’, essential in the ‘workers society’. To that question, this butcher-in-chief replied with something like: “we will not need many professional policemen at all, because each citizen will grow vigilant enough to spy on his neighbour!”
This is the type of vigilance present in our progressive society, more or less cut off from all Christian rules and turning into standpoints full of hate, in preparation to ‘welcome’ the one who hates God, the antichrist. The little ‘spylings’ with red pioneer scarves of communist countries of the old, are now spreading all over the earth, as ‘valuable’ recruits for the new international bosses, who want a ‘better civilization’. The areas of ‘human resources’ which are to be covered by the new generation of digital ‘prismoneers’ would include: global warming deniers, defenders of the family, fighters against homosexuality and pornography and against all the other demonic deeds.
Present time tumult, about exposures of all sorts of deeds in ‘top’ people, is just a stir of this world. In spite of those revelations, the number of real secrets, kept away from public is not so great. Actually it is just one single scheme in the making: the method by which to call the truth a lie, and a lie the truth. Therefore, man has to believe into this reversal makeup, for the destruction of his soul. The Truth, Who is Christ, would be removed, denied and ‘temptingly’ replaced. God forbid!!! But one does not need to imagine a government which tries to stand by laws emerging from the Orthodox perspective of life, where death is just a passage to Resurrection and Real Life. These are past times, such as of the Byzantine Empire or of other Orthodox Kingdoms eras, which will never come back…
If you are to ‘spy’ on enemies, enemies who would go about schemes against people ready for the Heavenly Kingdom, then the only valid method would be to convert them, in ways according to own upbringing, to the only Path of Salvation. Personally, what kind of secrets do we have and we do not want to reveal, maybe out of shame? Obviously, these secrets are to disappear in the simplest way, through confessing these personal sins, becoming erased and your soul forgiven by God, forever. Once upon a time, to find out about your enemy’s preparation to attack your country could be done in a quiet way by monitoring the abnormalities all around. How about today, when everything is abnormal, and almost everyone looks like a bloodthirsty individual, although very feeble? The real soldier does not care about the strength of the deceitful opponent because genuine courage and might are given by Christ Who will always be on the side of the Faithful and the oppressed, defeating all material and spiritual enemies.
