Împăcarea cu Dumnezeu, înfăptuită de Isus Cristos – sursa păcii dintre oameni

Abstract

The conflict at the borders of our country between Ukraine and the Rus-sian Federation, in which the majority churches in these countries are collaterally in-volved, draw attention to how they justify their defensive (in the case of Ukraine) and offensive (in the case of the Russian Federation) attitudes. The supporting speeches of the parties include, in addition to historical or ideological motivations, theological and moral ones grounded in the traditional teaching of these Churches, until recently, only one. It is precisely the way in which these Churches engage motivationally in supporting political discourse that leads to a serious distortion of Christian teaching. In this way, the motivational discourse of the Churches circumstantially alters evangelical values by aligning them with political discourse.
Through my exposition I try to bring to the forefront the foundation of Christian teaching regarding the source of peace between men and peoples: the self-sacrifice of Jesus Christ that reconciles man to God and men to one another.
