I would love more guidance and to possibly get to speak with you I need somebody I'm so for from any monasterys

[@MrYowieman]

My favourite "undead" story is that of Saint Juvenaly. He was martyred in Alaska by native tribesmen. They beat him to death only for him to rise up again and follow them, urging them to repent. So, as any normal person would do when faced with the undead, they beat him to death again...only for him to come back to life again and urge them to repent. This occurred numerous times until they used the age old method of chopping him into pieces which finally put the Saint to rest. But it was too late...the natives were all infected with the Holy Spirit and became Baptised Orthodox Christians hungry for Body and Blood (of Christ). Truly terrifying stuff.

[@brandonc.8356]

That story is a fabrication. He was martyred by native hunters but not in that fashion.

[@lejspul7655]

Crazier things have happened

[@sigurdholbarki8268]

That story sounds like it's right out a medieval "ghost" story, love it.

Reminds me of the story of St. Denis. According to the legend, after he was beheaded for preaching the Gospel, he picked up his head and began to carry it around while giving a sermon on repentance.

[@pointblank2890]

There's barely any knowledge on Orthodox Christianity here in South East Asia; mostly it's Catholicism and some groups of Protestantism. Always great to hear stories and lessons from fellow Christians from across the globe!

[@sanguiniusse434]

I am catholic. My dad is a protestant. I saw your video, thought the ending was brilliant, and shared it with him. He loved it and thought you did an amazing job turning the mortal concept of life and death on its head. I pray that someday the body of christ will be united again.

[@sigurdholbarki8268]

[@FiremanKevin]

Love all these stories you compose. The artwork and color are always wonderful. I always think of the the Saints as ‘hyper-natural’ as opposed to the western idea of ‘supernatural’.

[@jajohnson7809]

We have saints whose incorrupt hands raise up in blessing. We have St. Juvenaly, whose story has been told here. And we have the walking saints of Greece, whose souls return to their bodies, and disappear from their coffins for periods of time, presumably out and about helping people and answering prayers. I hate it when people call a dead body a "shell." These accounts of the saints demonstrate how important the body is, that it will rise again, and it can be used at God's pleasure to minister to others from the tomb.

[@jedh3721]

You left out one category that I think is vitally important to this conversation. The possessed dead. depending on who you ask, vampires are demons possessing corpses. and even if they specifically aren't, then it is still a category that is worth discussing.

Revelation 20:13 says that at the final judgement “The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.” The separation of the dead from the sea and the dead from hades seems to imply that sometimes the spirits of the dead linger on earth. What do you all think?

[@ahem88]

Paused at 1.41 cause I had to laugh. Good job Bojan!

I just have a question, so that if we are the living dead, is The Holy Spirit constantly reanimating us even though we sin? Thanks in advance🙂

[@igorlopes7589]

4:16 The Elect go to Hades before the Ressurection? Don't their spirits go to Heaven after the Lord arose from Hades? How can our spirits be bound in Hades if He freed us from it?

[@tuck-brainwks-eutent-hidva1098]

So if Gregory of Nyssa is right, and we stay behind based on our carnal attachments to this life, I'm gonna haunt my little camper full of books, taking breaks to visit the closest Reese's peanut butter cup factory. Sounds ok to me! 😂🙏🕯️☦️

[@Ciprian-IonutPanait]

5:23 I think most agree that God made a miracle and sent the prophet to testify against Saul. Now the sorceress was expecting a demon masquerading as the dead person and that is why she was startled. This is an exception to the rule

That picture of the vampire Soros really scared me 😅

[@NGAOPC]

I noticed a disclaimer recently in an old horror movie that the film does not depict accurately any person “living or dead” - to my conspiracy-mindedness, this is left un-clarified if the film depicts those who are living AND dead. Therefore - logikully - horror films (at least the classical and good ones), may be factual and historical depictions of the *living dead*.🤣

Our Lady did not ascend. She was assumed into Heaven. That might seem like a silly distinction, but it matters a lot. God bless.

[@BibleIllustrated]

What's the difference?

[@gillianc6514]

@@BibleIllustrated To ascend happens under one's own power, to be assumed is to ascend under the power of another. (If I remember my Catholic theology correctly).

[@vivacristorey4363]

@@BibleIllustrated Christ ascended into Heaven whereas our Lady was assumed into Heaven by Christ. One refers to by His own power, and the other means by Christ's power.

[@lindaphillips4646]

Well, i must comment that the Catholics and the Orthodox have different theologies related to that event. And the differences are important.. Very well worth learning the differences. [Edit:.i just reread this. Sounds a bit smug. That wasn't the mood i was in. Was just trying to be brief. And make a quick point .without getting into territory better explained by someone other than I.]

[@vivacristorey4363]

@@lindaphillips4646 I was unaware that there was any difference between the theologies on this matter. I attend both a Roman rite and a Byzantine Catholic parish both of which are in union with Rome. To my understanding, Eastern Catholics keep their theological traditions, but they differ in that they accept the papacy. Could you please explain what the difference is how the Eastern Orthodox Church views the event compared to the Eastern Catholic Church and/or the Roman Catholic beliefs? Thank you.

I know this might not go over on this channel, but I was convicted lately by something. I have been researching Carville, a former leper hospital in Louisiana, USA. This hospital was staffed by Catholic nuns. In one of the pictures, whether due to the poor photography in that era or poor scanning, etc. one of the nuns looked like she herself had an advanced case of Hansen's disease (leprosy.) This struck me greatly, that we as a society have taken the images of very sick, suffering people and turned them into "zombies" and "monsters" and other objects of horror on our television programs. God be merciful to us.

2:13 Such nonsensical beleifs are never spoken of by the Bible. All spiritual apparitions of Saints in the bible are short manifestations for a specific purpose. Mary as far as scripture goes; is dead and asleep in the grave. Any claim regarding Mary will NOT be found to be supported by Scripture. Mary has not yet risen, is dead asleep in the grave and awaits judgement like any other "saint". Btw: All christians are "Saints" in scripture, as the bible says we are SANCTIFIED (hagios;hagion) by the Holy Spirit.
