  • Once happened to us. We were going to St. Paul's monastery in the Red Sea (best monastery ever I think), and we were heading to the guesthouse. As we were walking we passed by a church, and I definetely heard the sound of cymbals but I couldn't make…
  • God, Who has the power over all things, when He was making the race of men through His own Word, seeing the weakness of their nature, that it was not sufficient of itself to know its Maker, nor to get any idea at all of God; because while He was unc…
  • A long read, these are extracts from St. Athanasius' Incarnation of the Word. Try to read it all, it takes time but it clarifies a few things. This is only from the first 27 chapters. It continues to chapter 57. You can find it here: http://www.mona…
  • look Vas, im getting tired of this. WE DONT HAVE THE SAME VIEWS AS ANSELM. NOT ALL OF ANSELMS VIEWS ARE WRONG AS I HAVE SAID ST.ATHANASIUS (u gonna call him a heretic too?) TEACHINGS ON INCARNATION WERE IN ANBA MOUSSA BOOK... WHERE WE DIFFER FR…
  • Here is Anselm's theory of satisfactional atonement: "The satisfaction theory is similar to the earlier ransom theory, in that a type of ransom was given. However, it was paid to God rather than to Satan. Theologians in the Middle Ages believed tha…
  • Dude Anselm is different!!!!!  Nowhere did Bishop Moussa mention it was because of a vindicative God. NOWHERE. We dont believe in it being against God's Wrath, we are saying its because God loved us that the Incarnation and suffering of Christ occur…
  • No probs, its cos I'm standing close when he does it

  • Simply without any real theologival disputes, Christ came here to die for me on the cross, to take the sentence of death from me and the whole world, as:"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (R…

  • Yeah Vas fine, I already understand that, what I need is more arguments to supplement the arguments I have against the Filioque. So far I've got: We believe that the Filoque clause is heresy, because if the Holy Spirit also proceeded from the the S…

  • Yes, we inherit original sin at birth as well as the fallen nature, but through baptism, the old nature is destroyed, and the old sin is forgiven as we are buried with Christ, and the new nature is gained: "Or do you not know that as many of us as…
  • "The Holy Virgin is herself both an honourable temple of God and a shrine made pure, and a golden altar of whole burnt offerings. By reason of her surpassing purity [she is] the Divine incense of oblation ( = προθέσεως), and oil of the holy grace, …
  • Yes, we do rise in glorified bodies: 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be,…

  • How do we get our rights: with great difficulty. For centuries Christians have been treated as second class citizens... that trend is difficult to break. Why do they hate us: Islam always has taught that Christians are like pigs (in the qur'an) and…
  • Really low? I think thats an understatement. And the thing is, much much worse has happened over the years... and never a substantial thing has been done to prevent it. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, but mindless, ignorant corru…
