How can a ‘ lifeless physical earthly material ‘camera perceive uncreated light?
Surely only the living soul having undergone theosis can do so?
Such images and claims surely undermine the Way.
How can we reach out to secular society and lead the lost to Christ with such things! Are we to treat people as stupid?
It is naive,technology can easily dismiss these images and in turn the Way is dismissed by those whom we seek to bring to the Orthodox Church.
These may be created in faith and with good intentions ,but we know what is paved with such intentions.do we not?

It’s not that camera is perceiving the light, it only recorded it for you and you ( human being ) are the perceiver. In other words, God allowed that Uncreated Light to be recorded to be seen by many.

I honestly cannot answer your questions. I see your point but maybe it is not always only this? … How about this? https://orthodoxcityhermit.com/2023/06/12/kneeling-vespers-pentecost/ Or https://orthodoxcityhermit.com/st-john-maximovich-serving-in-tunis-1952-surrounded-by-the-uncreated-light-3/ May God give us all discernment and wisdom in the time He has given to us. Your prayers and your thoughts?
