I have made believers answer for their Godtranslated

October 1, 2026 · 1 min read

Why doesn't God show Himself to people? Where is Christ now? Why did God create man and give him freedom? What is Heaven? When does the soul begin to exist and will we meet our loved ones after death? In the new episode of THE COUNCIL OF HEAVEN, Orthodox believers will answer the most difficult questions of doubters.

We will discuss why God allows suffering, why Christ Himself went to His death, what will happen after the Last Judgment, and how God is known and whether one needs to seek answers to religious questions.
