Which is (not) the task of Christianity

It is not the task of Christianity to provide easy answers to every question, but to make us progressively aware of a mystery. God is not the object of our knowledge but the cause of our wonder.

You are right! There are no easy answers, because most of the situations are quite complicated by the Satan in the world. It would have been much easier if the fallen angels would not have been around us, but Good God let all of us (angels and people) to decide with our free will.
Discovering more mysteries by divine revelations, especially with the kind help of people like you in Mount Athos, it makes us to progress in spiritual levels and continuously wonder for our Great God.

Sure. Also, perhaps is better to stress: reality is supra-logic. It isn’t logic. There is much more to feel, to live than a mathematical response to a whatever question we (or devil) raise(s).
