The founder of Orthodox theology is a disciple of the apostle Paul the martyr St. Dionysius (first century AD). The symbolic system, created by him, allows systematizing and describing, in scientific language of his time, the mystical meanings of New Testament. Thus, the science of Heavenly Kingdom appears which allows studying the spirit of Good News.

The symbolism is a link that binds the visible and invisible worlds. Therefore, the Church is built on this basis. The symbolism is a spiritual language and a spiritual vision; it is an instrument of spiritual thought and a means of communication of human soul with God.

 

Thus, the Orthodox theology is sacro-symbolic at origin, because it is possible to translate the Spirit of the Gospel only by symbols. It is impossible to express a mystical aspects of reality by a non-symbolic discursive language. There is no a non-symbolic theology.

 

The shape of orthodox doctrine is the Word of God - the Gospel. The Spirit of orthodox doctrine is a symbolic theology contained in the works of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite: «The sacro-liturgical symbolism», «On the Soul», «On the Celestial Hierarchy», and «Symbolic Theology». In order to destroy the spirit of Orthodox faith, to make people’s spiritual life uninteresting and formal, to deprive people of interest to the church, holiness, salvation, it was necessary to remove from the Orthodox teaching all information about the possibility of establishment of a mystical link with spiritual world. During all synodal period, the symbolic basis of orthodox doctrine was completely destroyed. The most important theological works of Saint Dionysius for our Church («On the Soul», «On the Celestial Hierarchy», «Symbolic Theology», and «The sacro-liturgical symbolism»,) - are nonexistent now.

 

And now the main discipline, the very theology in fact, is not taught in religious institutions. That is to say, we have no academic theology because we have no matter of teaching which is a system of knowledge about Heavenly Kingdom, nor means to study it, the symbolic language being missing.

For the idea of the symbolic nature of theology could never cross the mind of Orthodox people, Freemasons told us the tales about "pseudo-Dionysius", an unknown author of the sixth century. Thus, almost all graduates of religious institutions believe that the symbolism does not have much importance for spiritual life, the Good News about Kingdom of Heaven can be studied outside a semantic system of this Kingdom, that theology can be not symbolic, not theological.

In the early twenty-first century (around 2015), the Russian Orthodox Church found itself facing the most difficult test. It turned out suddenly that the Church has no scientific basis, that the official system of knowledge is a premeditated falsification...

 

You can see which areas have been removed from theology here.
