Biography
The birth date of the future Bishop Mabbugsky is not known, nor is the location of his hometown, Tahala, which was reportedly the center of the episcopal province of Kirkuk . His birth name was Joseph, but later he was known by his nickname, Akseno ( Greek Ξεναΐας - Xenai ), which translated from Syriac meant "hospitable", or his Greek version when ordained - " Φιλόξ ", tracing paper from Syrian. Filoksen received his education in a theological school Edessa . Soon he became a supporter of the ideas of Cyril of Alexandria and an opponent of the Council of Chalcedon . After Callandion was expelled from his post by the Patriarch of Antioch by the Monophysite Peter Sukunalom , Philoxenus became Bishop of Mabbugue in 485. Theophanes the Confessor writes about this event in his "Chronography" as follows:
| Further, Xenai, a satanic servant, taught not to worship the image of the Lord and other saints. He was Persian, by definition, the fate of a slave who fled from his master and under Kalandion the surrounding Antioch villages, which averted the faith; being not baptized himself, however, was called a churchman. Kalandion drove him away, but Peter Belilshchik dedicated him to the Bishops of Hieropolis, renaming him Philoksin. Then, having learned that he was not baptized, he said: “Instead of baptism, it is enough of him to be ordained.” |
Since 498, he has been in dispute with the Chalcedonian patriarch Flavian II .
Philoxen twice visited Constantinople. For the first time, in the spring or summer of 484, he was warmly received by the two still alive by that moment authors of the Enotikon - Emperor Zeno and Patriarch Akaki . The next time he arrived in the capital at the invitation of the emperor Anastasia in 507, with the aim of publicly condemning the doctrine of two natures [7] . In 512, with his participation, Flavian was dismissed and replaced by Sevir. With the ascension to the throne of Justin I in 518, the religious policy of the Byzantine Empire changed, and all episcopal appointments were annulled after the adoption of the Enoticon , and many prominent Monophysite figures, including Philoxenus, were sent into exile. In 519, he was sent to Philippopolis Thracian , and then to Gangry , where he died in 523.
Works and Memory
Literary heritage Philoxena is quite extensive. His main works include a collection of 13 homilies and the polemical essay Memre (Conversations) Against Habib. At the direction of Philoxenus, in order to correct a significant number of mistakes, the choreiskop Polycarp carried out a Syrian translation of the Bible , called the “ Philoxenic Bible ”.
At the fifth meeting of the Second Council of Nicaea, Dimitri the Deacon and the Skevophilix read before the participants an excerpt from Theodore Chetz 's Church History; Stephen, Deacon and Notaro read an excerpt from the "Ecclesiastical History" John Diakrinomena ( Gr. Ἰωάννης ὁ Διακρινόμενος), which showed that Peter the Fuller ordained unbaptized Philoxenus bishops, saying that to make up for the baptism of the divine dominates his bishop ordination; Philoxen was an iconoclast: he forbade depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove, destroyed images of angels, hid icons of the Savior in inaccessible places. After that, Patriarch Tarasius of Constantinople said: “Let us hear, holy men, who did not accept honest icons: those who did not accept baptism, manifested themselves, and asserted that the house-building of Christ was illusory. From the stinky teachings they received a push by the leaders of this heresy attacking Christianity. ” Savva, hegumen of the Studio monastery , said: "Thank God and good will of our good masters for the fact that the false images of the false collector were defeated along with the heretics who agreed with them in their thoughts." The Holy Council said: "anathema to them" [8] [9] .
