Just wondering what the Orthodox view (ORTHODOX ANSWERS ONLY, PLEASE!!) would be on this: I listened to an old TV sermon by Bishop Fulton Sheen in which he said that at the Judgment, Christ will look at sinners and those Catholics in "mortal sin" (a concept I believe the Orthodox reject, right?) and say "I do not see my image in you. Be gone."
What is the Orthodox thought on whether or not the image of God remains in all men no matter what state of grace or sin they are in? I thought that the image of God is never completely lost, no matter how dreadfully sinful a man or woman becomes.
This sounds like Augustine's "total depravity" thinking.
What is the Orthodox understanding?
