This article aims to shed new biblical and patristic light on the question of active participation in the liturgy in the context of new technologies. Beginning with the nature of God's revelation, the text presents its bodily form as manifested in Jesus Christ. The nature of the liturgical act, the body of which is an indispensable element, is also presented in this light. Following this criterion of the bodily form of revelation and celebration, the author presents an ancient struggle with docetism, which did not recognize the reality of the incarnation and presupposed the apparent appearance of the Son of God. Following this train of thought, the author asks whether the recognition of the virtual form of participation in the liturgy does not lead to virtual salvation, and thus are we not dealing with a hidden form of neo-docetism?
