Hello Fr Jeremy Davis. Thanks for your insightful video. I want to ask you. Will Jesus Christ also judge non Christians such as Jews, Muslims and Buddhists ? how will they be judged ?

Question: If the body and soul make up a person, then what is to be said if someone is brain dead (but still alive) and someone ‘pulls the plug’ while the soul is STILL in the body? Did they interrupt God’s plan? Are THEY held responsible?

There is a mentioning in the Holy Bible of the " Great White Throne Judement " , which the judgement of condemnation for those who rejected Christ. This is supposed to happen in 1,000 years from the first resurrection of the dead.

Anyone ever heard of a death mist? Some claim to have seen it.

One thing I don't get is: He lets people make a choice to be wicked in conditions where it's not easy to make the right choice as it's so confusing, the world, etc... And then he forces them to live in such a way where they will endlessly suffer forever cause they made a choice to love without God yet they can't. He also forces people to exist in the first place. You said people will want to die but won't be able to - so, basically they're forced to live. Their freedom of choice is denied.

I believe your conference present a very good detail on the orthodox view of the afterlife, just after a person passes away. But I still do not understand why orthodox pray for their departed. According to your lecture, there is nothing we, the people who remain on earth could do for the soul of the departed so I reckon the value of those prayers is embedded in the timeless “life of God”. We ask for their repentance that already occurred before death and the merits of the prayer were applied in the pass that for God is an “eternal present”. However, I listened to a lectured by Father Nikon of Holy Mountain that praying to God and the Saints to remember the departed we can still make their souls go get some forgiveness from God while in the intermediate state called Paradise (also known by other names). He recommends using the Komboskini to make good prayer for the departed remembering their names on the first bead and saying at the end of the Jesus Prayer “remember, remember, remember” on the other beads. Could you comment on this please?

Hi, your question been there for two years, hope you found the answer, but I like to say with my little info the reason we pray for the dead cause they can't pray for themselves and ask for forgiveness. They only can pray for us and watch over us, party of their jobs then.

To answer the lady's question at time stamp 21 minutes. The physical flesh body of man is not required to disobey God in sin any more than Lucifer had a physical flesh body when he made the first sin of pride. For pride is a sin of the conscious will which some say is the spirit and others say is the soul. When Lucifer and his fallen angels were thrown into hell did they have physical bodies or just Spirit bodies? Is it not true that both the demons and Lucifer or suffering in hell now? Ask yourself is it required to have an actual flesh body to suffer in hell? Jesus was born of a woman flesh with the holy spirit of God yet Jesus's physical flesh was that of a mortal man. After Jesus's resurrection his flesh was no longer that of a mortal man but a incorruptible immortal body that was able to walk through walls and Ascend into heaven. The same was true when Abraham greeted the three and he called the one Lord when they were on their way to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord Jesus and his two angels had that same type of Incorruptible body and Sarah fed them cakes and milk to eat. The same was true when Jesus ate fish after his resurrection with his disciples to prove he was not a ghost. Therefore in the Resurrection the new bodies will be those of Incorruptible bodies as described above and not actually their original flesh because to do so would be redundant. The one mystery I have not come to realize yet is why would people going to hell be given bodies of uncorrupt ability when even the Devil Himself and his demons who are there already never had a body to begin with other than the spiritual body? The Consciousness and self-awareness of the Soul does not require a body to suffer I assure you that. Because all men already have a spirit body which is in their breath that leaves their physical fleshly body at the moment of death. I assure you the time that one spins in Haiti's awaiting the Judgment Day will have already been suffering mentally and emotionally from Despair and anguish and regret which these things in themselves a living hell of the conscience Spirit or soul depending on who you ask.

Does it mean that God will condemn you just for one sin you forgot to confess?

[@azraelinarakoczy7862]

You said that there is no need for eating after we get our resurrected body, then why did Jesus eat with his apostles after he rose from the dead ?

[@TheRadChadDad]

Jesus ate publicly after his resurrection in order to show the disciples that His glorified, resurrected body has a material form. He also had Thomas touch his body. The theological point is that Jesus was not just a spirit or ghost after his resurrection. The resurrected body is incorruptible and physical. Christ did not have to eat, He chose to eat in order to show everyone that His appearances were not just apparitions, but that He had truly, physically, risen from the dead, and “trampled down death by death”.

Why is everyone scared of sitting close to the front, even after being asked to move? Reminds me of the "back row Baptist folks (I use to be one).

[@JohnnyRay920]

Immortality is the blessed hope of Christians. The damned will not be granted this. They will be judged and cast into the lake of fire where they will be destroyed along with the devil and the demons.
