What does heaven look like, or at least what do we know about it? What does the third heaven, to which Saint Paul was taken, mean? How do souls stay in heaven? Is it movement or stillness? Can it be said that there is progress in paradise? Do you remain for eternity in the place where you were put from the beginning, or can you move towards an even greater happiness? In this clip, I also answer the question of whether the souls of those who have reached heaven will meet their loved ones, relatives or friends who died earlier than them. And I also have in mind the question of whether those in heaven are allowed to communicate with those on earth, as well as with those condemned to the misery of hell. READ ABOUT WHAT HEAVEN LOOKS LIKE: "The Teaching of Orthodox Christian Faith"; Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae, "Orthodox Dogmatic Theology", volume III; Jean-Claude Larchet, "The Orthodox Tradition on Life After Death"; Serafim Rose, "The Soul After Death"; Archimandrite Placide Deseille, "What is Orthodoxy?" PR. NICOLAE DIMA I have been serving for over ten years at the church of Saint Nicholas - "Dintr-o Zi" in Bucharest. I worked for a long time at Radio Trinitas (1998-2007) and had the privilege of working in the first team of Television Trinitas (2007-2014). So I have a fairly extensive journalistic background. Through this YouTube channel I want to present catechetically and as systematically as possible important elements of the Orthodox Christian faith. I address myself primarily to Orthodox Christians. My goal is not polemics nor the search for originality at any cost. I believe that we will be better and better Christians to the extent that we know the Holy Scriptures, the teaching of faith of our Church, the teaching of the Holy Fathers and the meaning of Orthodox services. I will also walk this broad and already well-trodden path in future videos.
