    Will I See... Him/Her... in Heaven?

    I think you have way too much time on your hands for a seminarian, Jarno. I'm emailing you my thesis right now via my hotmail account. God bless you! We are well! Little Gregory is huge, and Kristina and the other kids are well. What is your little one's name? - Fr Peter Jon

    Will I See... Him/Her... in Heaven?

    Will I See... Him/Her... in Heaven?

    Good question. The kingdom is both a physical place and a place spiritual place. It has to be physical, for we confess the resurrection of the body. Where would our bodies go if not to a physical kingdom? But it is also spiritual, for as Christ says "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke...

    Will I See... Him/Her... in Heaven?

    Yes, you will see your sibling in heaven. I have many quotes from Orthodox sources that would agree (St. Gregory of Nyssa, for one). There is also an Orthodox contingency influenced by the teachings of St. Augustine and other Western writers who might disagree with me, but so be it. Nobody...

    Thank you, "Choirfriend." :) This is all so anonymous. I have only played a few concerts since my ordination -- only two since taking over the parish 6 months ago. Lots to do. I hope to sing on occasion, though. I sure enjoy it. Thank God.
