Аntinomy of the human existence

Аntinomy of the human existence is determined by temporality; therefore, it cannot be solved in daily life. The existential choice arises when the man exists between two existential significantly alternatives. The human act makes impossible to realize other alternative. In Christianity every moment of life is an exclusive existential importance; therefore, the act can have determining meaning for eternal life. However, man can not be all time in a siuation of existential choice. That is why he searches for simple ways: the man can reduce Christianity either to morals or to formalism. If a man can feel clear freedom it is difficult to make existential choice. All apostolic churches recognize free will; however, in Orthodoxy church this understanding reaches to maximum of existential intensity. The man is not simply free but he doomed to be free. Unsolvable antinomy in temporality life can be solved in eternity. The eternity includes a fullness of temporary life, and if in temporality life the act excludes alternatives, they can be realized together in eternity.
Russian philopher Pavel Florensky wrote that antinomy specifies on transcendental sphere (or on eternity). The antinomy consequently testifies the truth. He wrote that from a position of mind it is impossible to solve the antinomy between two mutually exclusive theses: "elected people can be rescued" and "all people can be rescued". However, this contradiction overcomes with a position of eternity. Lev Karsavin wrote that the completeness of life in eternal life could not be excluded all moments, including the moment of destruction. In lifetime we can see mutual exclusion of alternatives (the man would be rescued or would not): in eternity there is no mutual exclusion; therefore, both salvation and destruction can be carried out in destiny of the same man.
