Lord of Spirits - Doomsday [Ep. 70]

What happens on Judgment Day? What criteria use used? Do Christians go to heaven and non-Christians go to hell? What is the Book of Life? Fr. Stephen De Young and Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick take a look at what the Bible says about that Day before the throne of God.

This episode is a 3hr excuse for Fr Andrew to tell Fr Stephen to touch grass.

Just a point on biology:

Plants cooperate exchanging moisture and nutrients in concert with bacteria and fungi. There are things like black walnut that “poison” the soil to limit competition, but diversity of species, across families = vibrant soil and resistance to pests and disease. The regenerative agriculture movement is using this process to grow mixed crops without chemicals or fertilizers and therefore building topsoil.

Plants in related families may compete. Different family plants benefit one another.

There are more living beings in a handful of soil (NOT dirt) than there are human beings on earth. All of that process among the soil life, plants, and insects and animals is the expression of life/creation/God’s abundance.

Hey, I grew up with a song at church camp with this set of lyrics "I don't wanna be a Saducee...because Sadicees are sad, you see....I don't wanna be a pharisee...because pharisees aren't fair you see.. I just want to be a child of god" (yeah, on WV, we got sent to Presbyterian summer church camp)😮

Someome recently introduced me to you guys and I really enjoyed the apocalyptic horsemen ep. Getting hung up in the iconoclasm weeds here tho. Can you explain why its the same to give reverance to something made by human hands as it is to something God has made? Mechanistically, it seems different. I get the mechanism of an icon passing worship onto the prototype (sort of why God said don't make images of fish and birds and other gods and whatnot), but that still leaves a questionable gap in the conduit - which is more effective, the transmission made with or without human hands? As an analogy, if my kid makes a car out of popsicle sticks, and i go buy one made by professionals, which one can i drive, realistically? (Maybe your kids are better popsicle builders than mine, idk) Pragmatically, i can serve an image of God house in a lil flesh tabernacle he made for it, and expect him to receive that service (somehow), bc Jesus affirmed as much (as you say). However, is the image of God in Christ within an image made with popsicle sticks able to transmit service or veneration? Its rather like an iconception. Anyway, sorry for the ramble or offense. Enjoyed all the nerding out with you guys. The popculture references crack me up.

The hosts' microphones sound terrible in this episode. Sounds like the compression is cranked up way too high with a long delay at the end.

I would love to make an edit of the last 15 minutes or so, due to copyright how would I go about contacting for permission?

1:00:45 I really wanted to ask if you are going to make an episode about prayer, especially about praying for the others, alive or dead, which is an important and central characteristic of the Orthodox Church. That's a question I have for a while: do our prayers (that is asking God) for the departed ones, and for the living also, have any point or power in the salvation or improvement of those souls, when God Himself, who loves them infinitely more than we do, can save them or improve their condition without our involvement or our prayers? Would God even let the fate or the eternity of those people to depend on whether other people are praying for them or not? I don't think so. As if God needs to or must be convinced or directed by us in order to do the best that can be done for other people and for us. So, that's why I wonder what could be the purpose of our prayers, even of the prayer of the saints for us, when God already knows, can an loves better?

There are no such things as gods goddesses or any other Deitys. There are no ghosts because there is no after life.
There is just this life.
