short version of the site «Two cities»

The portal «Two Cities» describes the existence of two warring cities: the City of God and the city of man. Such a division of the human race has nothing visible, visual, psychological. The enmity of the City of Heaven and the city of the earth derives from the fate of the soul, each of which by its own will belongs to the city of God or the city of man.

Two cities — The City of God and the City of Man — contend one with each other from the beginning of human history and is due to contend till the end of times. These two cities have separate origin and destined end. There cannot be any compromise at any point, in any society or any soul between the City of God and the City of Man.

First reality

The first reality is the only truly existing reality of a man created and saved by God. A Christian stands before God in the first reality and is a citizen of the City of God.

Next to the first reality is posited an inauthentic and accidental second reality of human error, fantasy and rebellion against God.

These divisions St. Augustine called two cities, that is, two societies of people, of which one is destined to reign forever with God, and the other to be subjected to eternal punishment with a devil.
