00:00:21questions about God's

00:06:03Hello everyone, in exactly one minute the hero will take his place and answer
00:06:07all questions. Are you ready for a meeting with our
00:06:10guest?
00:06:14Why do you think the children chose you specifically for
00:06:17this conversation? Probably because
00:06:21what I live for and how I live is interesting. Do you promise to tell
00:06:25only the truth and not avoid difficult questions?
00:06:28Is it possible to be otherwise with children? Are you ready to go out to
00:06:31the children? Of course. Then good luck. So, today we have a
00:06:35clergyman of the Belarusian Orthodox Church,
00:06:38Archpriest Fyodor Povny, as our guest.
00:06:57Father Fyodor, I want to warn you that you have the right to refuse to answer
00:07:01a question three times, and be attentive to the questions, at the end of the program you
00:07:05will have to choose the best one. Well, now you have one minute to
00:07:09briefly tell us about yourself. Time has started.
00:07:12By the grace of God, I served the Lord as an Archpriest. My father,
00:07:16two brothers, father-in-law, nephew
00:07:18are clergymen. In my youth, I served in the
00:07:21army, I took an oath to the fatherland,
00:07:24I received several educations.
00:07:27Theological at the Moscow Theological Seminary
00:07:30Academy, located in the Trinity-Sergius
00:07:33Lavra. Secular at the Theater and Arts
00:07:36Institute, now the Academy of Arts,
00:07:40I studied at the Interior Designer faculty. In my youth,
00:07:43I dreamed of entering the higher aviation school, in the
00:07:46nineties I returned from Germany to my native
00:07:49Belarus, to build, together with the people,
00:07:52with the support of the head of state, a memorial church in honor of all
00:07:56saints, in memory of the victims who
00:07:59served to save our fatherland.
00:08:02Parallel to it, a multifunctional social
00:08:05complex, a house of mercy, with the church of the righteous Job
00:08:08the Long-suffering and a wooden church of the Holy Trinity were built.
00:08:12Thank you, you didn't manage in a minute, but I think
00:08:16the conversation will only be more interesting because of that. Now
00:08:19questions for the adults, please raise your hand if you are ready to ask
00:08:22a question.
00:08:25Hello, Father Fyodor, please tell me, if God
00:08:28created man, then who created God? And
00:08:32do you believe in God? I believe in
00:08:34God.
00:08:37And who doesn't believe, raise your
00:08:38hands.
00:08:43Of course, I haven't looked God in the eye, as
00:08:47I see you in front of me, I haven't seen him, so he doesn't
00:08:51exist, he is, he
00:08:54is existent, moreover, in the context
00:08:58of eternity, the only one who
00:09:00exists,
00:09:02everything else is temporary and mortal, except
00:09:06for man, man is the image and likeness
00:09:10of God, and the soul.
00:09:36Hello, Father Fyodor, my name is Gleb, what is your attitude towards
00:09:40Darwin's theory? I know that he
00:09:43was a churchwarden in his
00:09:47Protestant parish,
00:09:50all the theories that are presented to us today
00:09:54actually do not correspond to what
00:09:57Darwin thought. Hello, my name is
00:10:00Nina, I have a question for you: why is nothing
00:10:04mentioned about dinosaurs in the Bible? But it
00:10:07mentions Leviathan, do you know who Leviathan
00:10:10is?
00:10:13No. When I was in school, and I was
00:10:17about the same age
00:10:18as you,
00:10:21I didn't understand how the
00:10:25world could have been created in 7 days, until I
00:10:29looked at
00:10:31the original,
00:10:33which states that the 7 days of creation are seven
00:10:37cycles. Each cycle had
00:10:41an indefinite period of time, and
00:10:44the fourth cycle is the creation
00:10:47of earthly creatures,
00:10:49freshwater,
00:10:51so when we talk about dinosaurs, yes... they could have existed in
00:10:55history and maybe they did probably did, but
00:10:58the Bible talks about the creation
00:11:02of the world of animals, not
00:11:06mentioning each animal
00:11:09by name. Did you want to be
00:11:11a priest
00:11:14since
00:11:16childhood? Before the divine liturgy,
00:11:19the priest reads a prayer that contains
00:11:22the words: "Teach
00:11:25me, your unworthy servant,
00:11:29whom
00:11:32you were pleased to call to the priesthood not by my
00:11:36deeds, but
00:11:39by your sole
00:11:42mercy, teach me by your
00:11:45spirit to perform
00:11:48the great mystery with reverence
00:11:51and piety
00:11:55and fear."
00:11:59Priests call God, because the disposition
00:12:03of the heart and readiness to serve
00:12:06Him, one must have a special reverence in the
00:12:10heart.
00:12:13We move on to the black
00:12:14sector.
00:12:18I know from history that in Soviet times, priests
00:12:21were persecuted. Tell me, as a son of a priest, did you suffer from
00:12:25this time today, when we have the right to talk about God, about faith, about the church, the Soviet
00:12:27regime? You live in an amazing time, and we live in
00:12:38but it was not always like that. When I
00:12:40came to the decision to follow the spiritual
00:12:43path, that is, to become
00:12:45a priest,
00:12:47this decision came
00:12:50to me easily, but
00:12:54you...
00:13:25it was a joy for me, because
00:13:28wanting to become a pilot, this desire
00:13:32arose in me in the eighth grade,
00:13:35but this is a sickness that I have had for my whole life, it is
00:13:39chronic, so today I also fly,
00:13:42I pilot, today I really love
00:13:46the sky, so if we talk about this
00:13:50test, I think the Lord enriched me, developed those
00:13:53gifts and especially the artistic... gift, which today is not
00:13:57buried in the ground, and which today I
00:14:00serve both the church and people, and
00:14:04you too. And also, you dreamed, as
00:14:07I said, of becoming a pilot, you became a priest. Do you
00:14:11think that every person chooses their own destiny,
00:14:14or is everything already decided for us and we just
00:14:17follow the path, and how not to stray from this
00:14:21path? There is a very simple way,
00:14:26just two words
00:14:29to always utter in your soul, in your mind, and to keep
00:14:32in mind: Lord, bless, Lord,
00:14:36tell me, Lord,
00:14:37help me,
00:14:40and you will never stray from your life's
00:14:43path.
00:14:46Hello, Father Fyodor, my name is Karina, and I
00:14:50read on the internet that you were a doctor at the Academy
00:14:54of Arts. And I have a question for you: how well
00:14:57do you know visual
00:15:00art? It's simply impossible
00:15:03to know everything. Art is not some abstract
00:15:07thing for me. Art is what
00:15:10is born first of all in a person's soul and is reflected
00:15:14internally, it is reflected externally, in what
00:15:18he creates. It is not only
00:15:21a painting, it is his appearance.
00:15:25It is his words, it is his gaze, that is
00:15:29also art. I prepared in advance for our
00:15:32meeting and printed out paintings. Can you
00:15:36guess who painted them?
00:16:42Hello, Father Fyodor, I have a question for you: how did you do in
00:16:46school?
00:16:48I studied diligently. What were your grades for
00:16:52behavior?
00:16:55You know, I was just like all
00:16:56of you.
00:17:00Hello, my name is Evgenia, and I
00:17:03have never heard conversations about God among my peers.
00:17:07I have a question, why do people shy away from talking about their
00:17:11faith? You know, I think, just as in
00:17:14my youth and young adulthood, and
00:17:17today, faith should not be spoken of, it
00:17:21should be shown by your deeds,
00:17:24words, actions, come to our memorial
00:17:27church,
00:17:29you won't regret it, you will see so many
00:17:31young people, you will see so many
00:17:34children.
00:17:37Moreover, after the service, they do not leave
00:17:40the church, they
00:17:44continue to
00:17:46communicate, and this communication we jokingly call
00:17:50the liturgical aftertaste,
00:17:53we even had to put up a tent at the entrance to the church near
00:17:57the main steps, because there was always not enough
00:18:00space, our youth group
00:18:04Agius, it has already gathered more than
00:18:07a hundred young guys and girls, and there they really talk about
00:18:11faith, you can believe it, or you can
00:18:15check it,
00:18:16come and see.
00:18:22Hello, my name is Valeria, I have a question
00:18:25for you: I noticed that people often
00:18:28come to God when some tragedy happens in their lives, but how
00:18:32did it happen to you? As I said at the beginning, I
00:18:35grew up in a Christian family. One could say,
00:18:38I absorbed faith with my mother's
00:18:41milk, but that doesn't mean that I immediately became
00:18:44a believer, I immediately became pious, I
00:18:48walked the straight and narrow, no, I was just like all
00:18:51of you, but perhaps my difference was that
00:18:54что
00:18:57in addition to school subjects, I had the opportunity
00:19:00to read the lives of saints,
00:19:03open the Gospel, and could compare what
00:19:07was happening around me and within me,
00:19:11and this, of course, gave a completely different understanding and
00:19:15perception of life, not exaltation, but
00:19:18understanding,
00:19:21therefore I wish you
00:19:25also to be genuine in your perception
00:19:28of life.
00:19:56Are you looking for a positive charge for the whole day, Good Morning
00:19:59Belarus with Svetlana Borovskaya, this is live
00:20:02communication with extraordinary personalities. Hello,
00:20:05family, hello!
00:22:30Father Fyodor, hello, how does the church view military
00:22:34service, does defending the homeland not
00:22:36violate the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill"? Is military service
00:22:40just about killing or
00:22:42what?
00:22:45And when you kill a fly or a gnat, do you violate
00:22:48the commandment or not?
00:22:51Service in the army is a sacred duty
00:22:55to defend the fatherland,
00:22:57therefore we do not violate the commandment when
00:23:01we serve, we violate it
00:23:03when
00:23:06we act against our conscience. These are different
00:23:10things.
00:23:14Let's move to the purple sector.
00:23:18If God is merciful, why does he allow wars where children
00:23:21are killed? You know, this is a provocative question: Is
00:23:25it God who allows this or man by
00:23:29his evil
00:23:31will? And if we look at all
00:23:35this from the perspective of the refraction
00:23:37of eternity,
00:23:40then we are created for
00:23:43eternity, so there is no need to blame
00:23:46God, we need to look at...
00:24:21My wife and I have been married for 38 years
00:24:25together,
00:24:28once love brought us to each
00:24:31other,
00:24:33but that doesn't mean that everything was cloudy, smooth and
00:24:36good,
00:24:39love, like a beautiful aroma unfolds with
00:24:43years,
00:24:45each of us, when we create
00:24:48a family.
00:25:50In general, in fact, it is not a sin. A sin
00:25:53is when we violate a commandment.
00:25:57Therefore, when we talk
00:26:00about divorce. And it, as a rule,
00:26:04happens because people simply got carried away with each
00:26:07other, but there was no love. So I answered in
00:26:11a nutshell that it is not a sin, but if we violate
00:26:15a commandment in divorce, that is a sin. If
00:26:19a person has divorced, he must remain alone, be
00:26:23faithful
00:26:25to himself, first of all, if he is faithful to his
00:26:29inner pure state, that is, he will not...
00:26:32he will not commit adultery, he will not be
00:26:35carried away, then the Lord may send him a second
00:26:39happy marriage,
00:26:43everything depends on how
00:26:45he relates to
00:26:49himself, even in
00:26:51divorce.
00:26:56We are moving to the purple sector, turn right.
00:26:59Hello, my name is Masha, I have a question. How did
00:27:03you meet your wife? We
00:27:06met
00:27:10at the church, I saw her at the church, we met at
00:27:13the church, and a year later we got married. How do
00:27:17priests usually court women? When I
00:27:20met my future wife, I was not yet
00:27:23a priest. I became a priest after
00:27:27the wedding, after
00:27:28getting married. Learn,
00:28:03Good day, Father Fyodor, my name is Valeria, I have a rather
00:28:06unusual question for you: I like a young
00:28:10man, and I would like to know if there is any prayer that
00:28:14could help him notice me?
00:28:16There is no
00:28:20such prayer, there is another prayer, in general,
00:28:24one should always be frank with God,
00:28:28turn to God, to his saints, to the Mother
00:28:31of God, openly
00:28:35and honestly. For example,
00:28:37go to the Minsk icon of the Mother of God, you know where it
00:28:41is, in the cathedral
00:28:44church,
00:28:46say: Mother of God, I like this young
00:28:49man, if this communication
00:28:52will be beneficial for me, help me, if this
00:28:56communication will be harmful
00:28:59to me or upset me,
00:29:03keep him away from me. But to
00:29:06be liked, I think, you need to be the most
00:29:10beautiful, not beautiful outwardly, external
00:29:13beauty is a relative concept, beautiful
00:29:16in soul.
00:29:21Who is ready to ask a question, please raise your hand. I
00:29:24often saw in films how bad guys
00:29:28come to church, give a lot
00:29:31of money. and atone
00:29:35for their sins, does this really work? You
00:29:39see, you formulated the question in such a way that I want to answer it with
00:29:42an anecdote, may I?
00:29:46Go ahead. So, there was
00:29:50a cool guy who donated a lot
00:29:54to churches, built them, but
00:29:57the time came for him to also step into
00:29:59eternity, and he ends up in the depths
00:30:03of hell, he climbs out,
00:30:06knocks on the gates of paradise, what's
00:30:10wrong with your technology, don't you know I
00:30:14helped so much,
00:30:15I did this, and that, and that, and that,
00:30:19report to your
00:30:21superiors,
00:30:24time passes, and he, anticipating
00:30:28that he will now get what he deserves,
00:30:31again...
00:30:33pounds on the door, and
00:30:36Apostle Peter
00:30:39comes out
00:30:43and says, the decision has been made to return your
00:30:47money."
00:30:51You see, in movies, it's one thing, in life, it's another, but if
00:30:55it's a person who acted
00:30:56that way, in fact.
00:31:00деле.
00:31:02to repentance, sincere, deep,
00:31:06true.
00:31:10The Lord will forgive him too, because
00:31:12for God.
00:31:15not a person's actions are important, but his human
00:31:18soul. Outwardly we can be ideal, but
00:31:22the most important thing is what we are inside,
00:31:26and if we are not genuine inside, and
00:31:29even worse, if we are rotten,
00:31:32then nothing will be forgiven us, no matter how much money we
00:31:36donate and give to churches, charity, and
00:31:40so on. What matters is what we
00:31:43are inside.
00:31:46God teaches forgiveness. Was there
00:31:49a situation in your life that you still cannot
00:31:52forgive? I can't
00:31:54recall.
00:31:57I look at every person with
00:31:58joy.
00:32:02And I wish everyone this joy. I
00:32:05thank God that he deprives
00:32:08me of this state
00:32:12of envy. malice,
00:32:16resentment,
00:32:19rejoice, forgive and you will be
00:32:22forgiven, so hurry to do good and
00:32:26rejoice. Someone did something bad against you,
00:32:29well, pray for that
00:32:31person, wish him
00:32:35well, it's very difficult sometimes
00:32:38to step over yourself, but it will return to you
00:32:41a hundredfold, hurry to do good!
00:32:56I heard that during
00:32:59church holidays one should not work. So,
00:33:02studying and doing
00:33:03homework,
00:33:07but if it's just an excuse that it's a church holiday, so I won't
00:33:10study and do homework, then that
00:33:14wouldn't be honest. to the holiday itself. And what
00:33:17does work mean? If
00:33:20you do something for yourself, I won't do it for myself, but
00:33:23if it's necessary to help another person, I'll go
00:33:26and work, even on a holiday: open
00:33:29the Gospel, read a book, go,
00:33:33help someone who needs your
00:33:35help, that is, do
00:33:38something that will please
00:33:40another,
00:33:43and you will help yourself.
00:33:47And the holiday will become real, but
00:33:50if you have the opportunity, and you are indeed a pious and believing person,
00:33:53then first go to
00:33:55the service,
00:33:58partake of the holy sacraments of Christ, be at
00:34:01the liturgy,
00:34:04as they say,
00:34:05get charged,
00:34:08and then go happily and do something
00:34:12that will be good for you...
00:34:22Have you ever sinned?
00:34:26You know, by definition, there are no sinless
00:34:28people, and I,
00:34:30probably,
00:34:33haven't gone far from you. And now I have a question for
00:34:36you: tell me, is anger a sin? Rarely is
00:34:40anger a sin, because we are all human,
00:34:44when we experience...
00:35:30and multiply, and subdue the earth, inherit it, that is, what kind of state of mind, relationships between young people, or rather, men and women, but look at what we are turning
00:35:33that greatest sacrament
00:35:37into, which is even blessed
00:35:38by God.
00:35:56I try very hard, I always wait for this time and rejoice in it, if we talk about
00:35:58food, but
00:36:02fasting is not only a reduction
00:36:06in the diet in food, it is first
00:36:09and foremost
00:36:12a time when you can think.
00:36:21about your pros and cons, assess your inner state, try to correct those negatives in yourself, of which we have plenty.
00:36:24отбавлять.
00:36:59Well, for example, there are also
00:37:02atheists. Well, how do you feel about atheists? With
00:37:06regret. They are also believers.
00:37:10Only I believe that God exists, or rather, I don't just believe, I know
00:37:14that he exists. Why should
00:37:16I believe?
00:37:19And they believe that he doesn't exist. And sometimes they believe so deeply that their faith can be
00:37:22envied by a believer in
00:37:24God.
00:37:28I know such a saying as "fear God." Is it necessary
00:37:31to fear God? The fear of God is not an animal
00:37:35fear, it is to do something bad
00:37:38before his face. For example, if mom and dad told you
00:37:42to do something good, right? But you're not
00:37:45doing something good, you've been cunning, you got a bad grade,
00:37:49you're afraid to tell
00:37:51them, what kind of fear
00:37:53is that?
00:37:55Well... honestly, I don't know, you
00:37:58see, how can I do something bad before God at all, that
00:38:02is, it's a slightly different concept, it's not an animal
00:38:05fear, it's the fear
00:38:08of doing something against your conscience,
00:38:12of acting dishonestly. For example,
00:38:15I'm walking in a store, there's a
00:38:18piece of paper lying
00:38:21there. Why should I pick it up? I didn't drop it, from a logical
00:38:24point of view, right? But here there's a turnstile, I... bent down, picked it
00:38:28up, dropped it. I acted according to my
00:38:31conscience, right? As before the face
00:38:33of God.
00:38:38Let's turn 180 degrees, to the black
00:38:40sector.
00:38:44Hello, I noticed that all priests drive expensive
00:38:47cars. Does that mean that priests earn
00:38:50a lot? I also have a good
00:38:53car.
00:38:56but that doesn't mean that... that I earned it or I
00:39:00acquired it, it's just a means
00:39:02of transport, nothing
00:39:04more,
00:39:07you need to look at it differently here, that's what I'll
00:39:11say, sometimes I have to travel a distance of
00:39:144-500 km,
00:39:17I can go in a Zhiguli, what
00:39:20will you do with my back then, so there must be
00:39:23reliability, who issues licenses to priests?
00:41:27but the church is not only not only an
00:41:30administrative body, it is also a divine-human
00:41:34organism, therefore
00:41:37the church must live
00:41:41in the fairway of its state and its
00:41:43laws, the question is different, that
00:41:47the state must form such laws that
00:41:51they correspond
00:41:52to the commandments,
00:41:57that is to conscience,
00:41:59they must be adequate to our, to our inner
00:42:03world, but if it happens
00:42:06otherwise,
00:42:09then what we see today
00:42:13among our neighbors, especially in the West, happens, imagine
00:42:16how a Christian lives in a
00:42:18state
00:42:21when they tell him: you can easily change your
00:42:24gender, this
00:42:26contradicts moral
00:42:29laws,
00:42:32in our state, yes,
00:42:36in others, unfortunately, it's different,
00:42:40this is
00:42:43the moment that we, unfortunately, are turning into
00:42:47life, we are trying
00:42:51to pass off what we want as reality,
00:42:54and we are trying to tie the church not to
00:42:58its spiritual
00:43:00view of life, we are trying to tie it to politics, in
00:43:04that sense I, of course, am far from this
00:43:07understanding. of such
00:43:10a view,
00:43:16hello, Father Fyodor, do you generally
00:43:19listen to music in the car, honestly, I usually
00:43:23listen
00:43:24to
00:43:27the prayer rule in the car, because I
00:43:30don't have time, you know that
00:43:34there is such a navigator Alice,
00:43:38yes, everyone?
00:43:48And in order to keep my thoughts and mind from
00:43:52wandering, if there are no phone calls or
00:43:55urgent conversations, I read this prayer rule,
00:43:59including it, once I asked
00:44:01Alice to plot a route for me, she did it and
00:44:05I said: thank you, Alice,
00:44:08the answer is, "you're welcome". but why, isn't it
00:44:11pleasant for you?
00:44:16Answer: I have no feelings, I am
00:44:18a robot, and then a brief pause and in a very
00:44:22harsh voice, and in general I don't like at all that you are always
00:44:26praying,
00:44:31I opened my mouth,
00:44:34when I told my wife about this, we were driving late at night from
00:44:38a meeting, I said, I want to turn on the prayer rule now,
00:44:42let's try to ask Alice,
00:44:46I turn it on, I say, Alice, good evening, I say: tell
00:44:49me, Alice,
00:44:53can I read the prayer rule?
00:44:56Answer: You can, but
00:45:00is it worth it? What kind of music do
00:45:02you listen to? I really
00:45:06love non-modern music.
00:45:11I really like Valentina Tolkunova, her wonderful
00:45:15song, I brought her to God,
00:45:18and I took her last
00:45:19confession,
00:45:24can you sing a couple of verses, a piece of this
00:45:27song? Honestly, if
00:45:31I were, perhaps, not in cassock, not
00:45:35in vestments, I would sing, but
00:45:38in vestments I don't dare, I can.
00:46:02For having escaped from
00:46:06evil blessings.
00:46:11applause, please, you have a beautiful
00:46:14voice, Father Fyodor, thank you,
00:46:34their motivation is self-development and the creation
00:46:38of something useful for...
00:47:52new technologies have been a huge help here in recent years. Yes, in Belarus
00:47:55drones do not destroy, but
00:47:58help agriculture, harvest grain without
00:48:01losses and ensure the country's food security. This is the task of
00:48:04farmers who work in the fields from dawn till dusk. The pace of harvesting is higher than
00:48:08last year's in all regions. This is the powerful breakthrough of
00:48:11farmers to harvest grain on time. Food security
00:48:15begins with the work of scientists. It is in the tandem of science and farmers
00:48:18that new seed varieties, types of modern agricultural machinery, fertilizers
00:48:22and crop cultivation technologies with minimal losses are born. The head of state
00:48:26visited two regions at once, Mogilev and Vitebsk.
00:48:29First, they worked in the Shklovsky district. According to the president's plan, it should become
00:48:33a model for the entire country in terms of agro-industrial complex work, development
00:48:37of infrastructure, construction of housing. And this is the principle of
00:48:40regional settlement. After all, Minsk is not elastic. Everything
00:48:43is done for people, in terms of the range of services and working conditions for masters,
00:48:47car service stations, spare parts warehouse, changing rooms, showers, and if necessary, to run out at
00:48:51lunchtime, everything is nearby. The team here is young, many
00:48:54specialists were literally lured from regional centers, there was no
00:48:57housing there, but here they were given it. Main topics on the main
00:49:01air. Watch on Belarus24 TV channel.
00:49:25Hello, Father Fyodor, my name is Maria, I have this
00:49:29question: do you have children? I have
00:49:32a daughter, they say that priests
00:49:35raise their children very strictly, what did
00:49:39you forbid your daughter to do in childhood?
00:49:42You know, a priest, like any person, like all of us, we
00:49:46carry information from our
00:49:49family, when...
00:49:53our mother
00:49:54raised us,
00:49:57father, they never
00:50:01forced us, especially in
00:50:03faith,
00:50:06they showed us their
00:50:07faith,
00:50:10they never forced us
00:50:14to do something necessarily,
00:50:17порядке,
00:50:20but I always remember how...
00:50:23mom warned what could
00:50:26come of what, and we, in our youth,
00:50:30sometimes due to inner
00:50:33rebellion, well, we sometimes agreed, sometimes
00:50:36not,
00:50:39but there came a moment when you faced a
00:50:42situation, about which you were already
00:50:46warned, and you understood what to do and how
00:50:50to act. That's how I tried
00:50:53to raise her, she is
00:50:55wonderful,
00:51:00with her own character, her own view of life, her own
00:51:03worldview.
00:51:10Previously, the internet was considered something special and
00:51:14few people used it, now people literally light a candle
00:51:17online, why is this
00:51:19happening?
00:51:23Among believers there are also many different opinions
00:51:27on this matter, and even heresies and
00:51:29delusions, there are radical
00:51:32Orthodox, you can hear from them
00:51:36about the harm of
00:51:39Orthodox, with them, on the contrary, everything is allowed, the main
00:51:43goal is usage, but there must be
00:51:46a middle ground, I do not advocate candles on the internet, because
00:51:50I believe that one must come to church.
00:51:53Otherwise, Christianity will turn into a ritualistic
00:51:55cult, and not faith in
00:51:58Christ.
00:52:00Hello, my name is Ksyusha, I have a question for you: if
00:52:04I light a candle, will my life immediately get better? A candle
00:52:07is just a small sacrifice,
00:52:10a symbol of your burning love for
00:52:14God. You light a candle,
00:52:17figuratively speaking, to testify that
00:52:21your spirit also burns evenly and brightly
00:52:25in prayer to God.
00:52:28Life will only get better when you take
00:52:31care of it.
00:52:35We're turning 180 degrees, red
00:52:37sector. Do you believe in miracles?
00:52:40Have you ever experienced a miracle? It was in
00:52:44the city of Gomel. Igor Kio's circus came
00:52:47to us. And everywhere diagonally, on
00:52:50posters it was written: "Honored Magician"
00:52:53of the RSFSR. And the word
00:52:57"magician" interested me. And then
00:53:00I opened Ozhegov's dictionary.
00:53:04Action. communication of a person with
00:53:07an otherworldly demonic force, I became very
00:53:11interested,
00:53:13and I went to the circus for the performance,
00:53:16as I remember now, third row, seventh seat
00:53:20by the aisle, the first part of the
00:53:23performance was ordinary,
00:53:26clowns, animals, bear cubs,
00:53:30the second part was entirely dedicated to Igor Kio, his very
00:53:33interesting tricks. At first I
00:53:36carefully watched, looked closely, understood how he did
00:53:40it, and then there came a moment when I saw that it was
00:53:44something else, and I closed my eyes and mentally turned to
00:53:47God, and you know, such a childish
00:53:50faith, Lord, well, if this
00:53:54is not from You, if this corresponds to what is written in
00:53:58the dictionary, may he not succeed,
00:54:01suddenly I hear a voice, Igor Kio is standing next to me, saying:
00:54:05"Boy, leave the hall, let me finish
00:54:07the performance." Of course, I left,
00:54:11saddened with a residue, but my soul was exultant, this was my
00:54:15first experience of spiritual
00:54:17contact
00:54:19and the first experience of this unusual
00:54:22miracle.
00:54:29Is it true that you can fly a plane and a helicopter? Well,
00:54:33I sat in a plane with... what pulled him more than once and really
00:54:37tried it, and a helicopter - this is, as I
00:54:40already said, my weakness, from childhood, from
00:54:44youth, it's even a disease, it's
00:54:47chronic, it's not curable, this
00:54:51love resulted in the fact that today I
00:54:54even have a personal helicopter, and maybe you
00:54:57flew here to the studio by helicopter, no, I didn't fly to the studio by helicopter,
00:55:01Father Fyodor, I know that you collect models of planes and...
00:55:05helicopters, maybe you can show us that very helicopter we are talking about?
00:55:07well, let's try, kids, do
00:55:10you want to
00:55:13see it?
00:55:16Yes, helicopter to the studio, please.
00:55:41This signal means that the time for questions to the hero
00:55:44is over. Father Fyodor, now you have to choose the best
00:55:47question of this program. Perhaps,
00:55:51the question where you
00:55:53spoke,
00:55:57showing that in your field of interests, history,
00:55:59religion. Please, raise your hand, who asked this
00:56:03question. Oh, we see you. Please introduce yourself, where do you study, in
00:56:07what grade? My name is Chermakova Alexandra, I am from Gymnasium
00:56:10number 5, I study in the tenth B class. According to the rules
00:56:14of our program, the author of the best question receives a special gift,
00:56:18come out onto the platform.
00:56:32This is not just a book, this is...
00:57:05Interestingly, what future do you see
00:57:09for your homeland?
00:57:13We ourselves build our future and I don't have
00:57:16a clear idea. but I think, if we treat each other
00:57:20with warmth, with kindness, to ourselves,
00:57:24then the future will be good, I would like peace
00:57:28to prevail all over the world and
00:57:30for medicine to progress
00:57:32further,
00:57:35I see our country in the future as very developed, where everyone helps
00:57:39each other, many churches have been rebuilt, where all peoples
00:57:43live in peace, everything will be
00:57:46good for us in the
00:57:48future.
00:57:54It's time to say goodbye to our
00:57:56audience. So, clergyman
00:57:59of the Belarusian Orthodox Church Fyodor Povny, today a guest of
00:58:03the program "100 Questions to an Adult". I'll be waiting for you, Father Fyodor, at the entrance to
00:58:07the platform.
00:58:14And here, Father Fyodor, I will ask you to stay.
00:58:19Father Fyodor, what was the most difficult question for you
00:58:22today?
00:58:25They were all equally difficult, equally
00:58:28interesting and
00:58:29truly
00:58:33amazing. Do you think you coped with our
00:58:36children's audience today? The audience
00:58:39will judge, what surprised you about the
00:58:42children today? They are
00:58:44real.
00:59:18After all, I believe that he answered all questions as clearly as possible so that
00:59:22we could understand, I believe that he
00:59:26was frank,
00:59:29because he thought about the answers for a long time,
00:59:32spoke a lot and answered many of these questions,
00:59:36he still has three
00:59:39skips, as they say, God loves
00:59:43a trinity,
00:59:46Father Fyodor... We have a rule: the last word is always up to
00:59:50the hero, summarize the conversation
00:59:52that took place. God grant that from
00:59:55these young
00:59:57people,
01:00:00from these girls, guys, boys and girls,
01:00:04real citizens of
01:00:08our beloved
01:00:10Belarus will grow up.

01:00:38Alexander Bogdanovich.
01:00:40Welcome.
01:00:48have you ever used doping, how much does
01:00:51Olympic gold weigh, if our president was sitting in your place right
01:00:55now, what would we say to him, do you think
01:00:59sport should be out?
