You ask for at least a few quotes stating that we have already been resurrected, saved, healed, that hell and death as objective facts no longer exist. I understand that you cannot do without quotes, without authorities (if someone says a text was written by one of the saints (e.g., Athanasius the Great), we (calmly, without thinking) accept the written as an undeniable truth (ultimately) (not even considering that maybe the saint never said such a thing, but people signed his name to their thoughts (sometimes heretical) who wanted to bring some ideology or heresy to the masses (see Part I); I am not even saying that we need to understand the word of the holy father in the context in which he placed it, not the one I (the one who quotes) imposed on it – see. det. see Part I), and if I find out that someone not canonized said the words brought to my attention, I do not give them any value and do not pay attention). Before calling to witness the reality we described, the holy men and women, we make a remark.
Any text is read (understood) depending on the coordinate system in which we placed it (a word – it is a form that can be filled with any content, that is, to give it any semantic meaning!). Or: perception, vision (the “color”) of reality depends on the glasses we wear: if pink – then reality is perceived by us as pink (that is, everything of pink color; all objects for me will be pink), if green – everything is perceived by me as green. That is, the same thing (let it be white for the unarmed eye) for the one in green glasses, will be green, and for the one in pink – pink. Or: the most truthful vision of reality as it is, when the light (through which we see: everything becomes apparent from the light and is light…) is clean, transparent, not of any color from the range of colors: red, blue, green… If the light, through which we see, is of a certain color, then it means that between us and the reality we observe, stands a prism (some intermediary), which distorts reality in our perception (see Part I). (Transparent (invisible) light, passing through a prism (or, for example, refracting in water – rainbow), manifests itself in the range of rainbow colors). To better understand what we are talking about, one can give the example of lighting a room with a bulb with transparent glass (all things in the room will be of different colors) and a blue bulb (all things of one color – blue, or with a shade of blue), red (everything red or with a shade of red).
Therefore, whether we are without glasses (or contact lenses), or in any glasses we have (prejudices, biases, prejudgment, tendentiousness – it all distorts reality), or in what kind of lighting: natural, artificial, or supernatural (in the light of which teaching, religion, philosophical system we walk, in the light of which teaching we perceive reality… what prism-intermediary stands between us and reality?! Whose eyes do we see and by whom do we perceive reality?!) – from all this depends the adequacy (or inadequacy) of the perception of reality. There are countless examples, and we will indicate regarding the reading (interpretation, interpretation) of texts: reading (interpreting) the Bible through the prism of Catholicism, Protestantism, or reading the Old Testament through the vision (interpretation) of Jewish Masoretes, who polemicize with Christians… (the same place in Scripture is interpreted differently by Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, sometimes in diametrically opposite meanings… give examples yourselves and see Part I) – the results are different, often incompatible, although the reality (truth) is one (who of them understood the author correctly?!). Therefore, if you read (listen to) the Gospel of the Church (Scripture of the Church: the Bible and the writings of the Holy Fathers and Mothers) in the light of Orthodoxy, in existential categories, categories of hypostatic being (without glasses and intermediaries in the Light of the Holy Spirit; from the perspective of eternity, which is personal existence in Love; where through the substantial categories of this world (e.g., body, soul, spirit, etc.) the spiritual hypostatic reality, the hypostasis (I, he, she, etc.)) is indicated, then everything is read (and in dogmatics, which “directly” indicates reality, and in pedagogy, which has the task to show the way and how to go to reality (revealed by dogmatics) and bring to it (to the knowledge of it) – to the hypostatic, catholic, divine life in God): The Kingdom of God has come, we are essentially resurrected in Christ, saved, that is, Happy! Dogmatically, the Church indicates the Kingdom of God, which has come in power, and pedagogically hints (prepares), how to see this (Resurrected Christ) (and what is needed for this) and start (and learn) to be like God (live in Christ). Therefore, if you read (or listen to) the Gospel ecclesiastically, then in every meaningful word of Scripture is read the Resurrected Christ and our resurrection in Him, as consubstantial with Him, and the indication of Christ (Scripture – it is a verbal icon of the Resurrection of Christ, the Resurrected Christ!). Therefore, I will not rewrite the entire Bible and all Orthodox writings of the Holy Fathers and Mothers – it is thousands and thousands of pages, why so many words (if the task of the word is to bring me to the gates of silence, hesychia – det. about prayer below and in subsequent parts)?! Therefore, all the New Testament Scripture (the testimony of the Church, which has been going on for over 2000 years) about one thing: God is Love, the Kingdom of God has come, death and hell (the godless state) are destroyed and we are essentially resurrected, healed in the Resurrection of Christ! A Christian both in the dogmatics of the Church and in the pedagogy of the Church (in all Holy Scripture) reads and hears this Gospel (namely: God is Love, death is destroyed and we have resurrected in Christ… that is, Happiness has come, and no one and never will take it away from every free creature!..). But since you are interested in dogmatics (dogmatic indication of reality), expressed in the form of a word, which will coincide (coincide) with the content of the realized eschatology (in theological science “realized eschatology” – it is when the future is spoken of as the past, as something that has already been accomplished and happened; where the present is described as an already accomplished resurrection and ascension (ascension) to heaven; when we remember the future as the past, which continues to this day and for ages to come!), then we will write down a few “quotes”.
