New World Order vs. Christian World Order

from the book: 
Conversations With My Heart
by Saint Metr. Anastasy 
page 32

     "... Christianity brought with it a completely self-sufficient spiritual world order that is firmly established on its own foundation.  The leaven of the Gospel, once it had entered mankind, should not have been mixed with the "old leaven" of the spirit of this world, which deeply penetrates the heart of the personal and social life of mankind and becomes like a second nature.  The kingdom of Christ, from the first day of its establishment on this earth, placed itself in opposition to the world as separate from it and even antagonistic to its first principles.  The science of Christian moral perfection is found in a series of antinomies resulting from this opposition.  Thus, for example, one must humble oneself to be raised up.  One must be weak to become strong.  One must become a fool to attain true wisdom.  One must reject everything to obtain everything.  One must lay down one's own life to receive it once more.  One must die in order to resurrect and live eternally.  Here we see an obvious contrast of two mutually exclusive orders and principles of life, between which there can be no permanent — or even temporary — alliance.  One must pass away for the other to  flourish on its ruins.  Any attempt to throw a bridge between them has always led to a secularization of Christianity and to a lowering of its exalted ideal. ..."
