About this episode

St. Justin Popovic discusses the nature of God as the Judge of all creation.

St. Justin Popovic (+1979) the great Serbian theologian of the 20th century, explains the nature and veracity of God being Judge of all creation. "It is natural for the heavenly Sower," writes St. Justin, "who has abundantly sown the seed of eternal, divine truths in the earth of the human soul, to come and see how much of that seed has rotted in the mire of lust, been strangled by the thorns of passion or withered by the coals of sinfulness, and how much has grown and yielded divine fruit, and, also, to reap and winnow the ripe ears of corn."A reading from The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism by St. Justin Popovic, p. 85-88.NOTE: The meaning of Theanthropic: divine (in Greek theos = God) and human (in Greek anthropos = man); the Theanthropos = the God-Man, i.e. Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.📖 The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism by St. Justin Popovichttps://lazarica.co.uk/bookshop/📖 Orthodox Faith and Life in Christ by St. Justin Popovichttps://ibmgs.org/miscellaneous.html🎧 Introduction to the Lives of the Saints - St. Justin Popovićhttps://youtu.be/q1SQB8O2Aek🎧 Papism as the Oldest Protestantism - St. Justin Popovićhttps://youtu.be/6xXm1PfcQUw⛪ FIND…
