Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos argues that the proper Christian greeting is good paradise rather than many years, because happiness cannot be produced by external circumstances or a change of calendar. Human beings are eternal from conception, and God’s kindness and patience are given to lead to metanoia, not merely to extend worldly projects. Christ’s temptation in Matthew 4 and Luke 4 shows that Adam fell by free will rather than defective design, and baptism places every Christian within spiritual warfare. Chrysostom’s five purposes of temptation are summarized, the word diabolos is explained from slander, and Job and Antony the Great are used to show that the struggle continues until the soul leaves the body.
