Nuo Buberio prie Pascalio: stabmeldystės pavojai ir Gyvojo Dievo veidas
From Buber to Pascal: Face of the Living God and Dangers of Idolatry

Summary/Abstract: The article describes an existential search for spiritual truth: in our longing for the Living God, we struggle to break free from idols. Martin Buber’s I-You principle is discussed first in an attempt to show how the encounter with the Living God takes place. His character highlights itself through the passages in Holy Scripture. The Lord is especially saddened and angered by idols which simulate You in a distortive way, deceptively transforming the I and destroying the fundamental relation – the human being itself. The article explores which signs point in the right spiritual direction and which lead to doom. We then turn to Blaise Pascal. He chose the eternal Rock, the very Word of God who was prophesied, manifested and became the center of everything. Only the Redeemer, the Savior, Jesus Christ, crushes the head of demon, destroys all idols, frees his people from their sins and introduces worship of the true God.
