Ascension: The Type and Ideal of Our Entrance to Heaven
"In each reference to the Resurrection in the New Testament, it is clearly implied and/or explicitly stated that the people rise as body and soul reunited. This is also expounded by St. John Chrysostom who states 'Christ is risen! And not one dead remains in the grave.'"
The Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church teach that the Blind Man was born without eyeballs. Our God and Savior fashioned them out of the earth like He fashioned man.
"People may prefer hell over walking the 'narrow path,' even if it leads them to heaven. They are afraid, so they remain stuck in what they have, fearful of losing even that and not reaching for more," Metropolitan Saba writes.
