Flobi, There is no one that has said that the Bible is incomplete, not by any means. There are different aspects to Apostolic Tradition, and mostly it is the erudition, exposition, interpretation, and incarnation of the words in the Bible of "The …

The shortest verse and the most profound: "Jesus wept"
-
How about adding Pope Shenouda III trivia? He is a living saint as far as I am concerned.
-
Ioannes, I think it is easier to go with a trivia type approach with simple one line questions or so. Try that, you may get more takers.
-
Ioannes, My thoughts exactly. A very good summary. I also feel that the coming of the barbarians to Rome had an impact. There was a leveraging to try to get attention and power back to the West. I believe in the manipulations between: Leo/the …
-
Father, One of the funny things, if you notice in the clips, Fr. Lazarus transformation is not only in all of the spiritual aspects, but also in the fact that his dialect/accent has changed from an Australian to a slight slur into an Egyptian/Engli…
-
Father, Speaking bluntly and without too much decorum, I believe the issues as the Russians face the Latins are such that they know each other, they carry a similarity in spirit and imperialism. Your statement [I paraphrase] 'blocks for bargaining…
-
His name as he is given is: Fr. Lazarus El-Antoni Generally, when sending things to Egypt by postal service, I will address it in English on the front of the envelope in parallel to the Arabic. I guess you can have some of the local Coptics write…
-
Flobi, In regard to elder as a term, in the two uses, they are distinctly different. Sure 'elder' may be a senior citizen, but the English rendering of 'elder' for presbyter (as an official of the church) is different. I appreciate your use of th…

This is part 1 Part 2 or you can type Fr. Lazarus in the Search Box The title is: The Last Anchorite. Fr. Lazarus has a "beautiful" face. I almost imagine it as a glimpse of what Moses was like when he came down the mountain.
-
Coming right-up Father. Finally, something I can do for you. As for a postal address, I guess you can send to the Monastery itself.
-
Crazy4Christ1, Recently, I have gotten into watching the YouTube 2 clips on Fr. Lazarus at St. Anthony's Monastery in Egypt. I have watched it in excess of 35 times. It's like getting a pep talk from your own coach. Fr. Peter, as usual and pro…
-
Father, The Vatican has been fostering a rift between the Ukranian and Russian Orthodox Churches for several decades now. They are trying to push for the re-establishment of Ukranian Catholic presence to decrease the Orthodox base in the Ukraine a…
-
Zoxsasi, Don't worry about the iPhone thing. I have done worse things. The whole point of the issue was that he [Satan] would make you feel uncomfortable and embarassed so that the next time you may be hesitant to read at the lecturn. Possible a…
-
Zoxsasi, The other thing that he [Satan] imparted was to let you think that the run to the toilet will clear things. I know this is going to sound harsh, but, it is a sort of desecration (wearing your tonia into the toilet or for that matter leavi…
-
Flobi, My point relative to the "Church" is that there has to be a CHURCH for Christ to be Its Head. It is not an abstract idea, but a full manifestation of the word. The elders constitute those responsible for the CHURCH on earth in discipline a…
-
Zoxsasi, It was Satan, no doubt. He planted a seed, and then one's own mind takes off. The devil is on the attack at all times, especially in the Church. I've seen some pretty interesting fights in the church during liturgy. Were you vested at …

Minagir, This is one time where I was serious. I had not heard that expression before. Thanks for the info.
-
Amen. Brother Minagir.
-
Minagir, I am not up on that particular egyptian euphemism. Please explain.
-
Maybe they bought the accessories in anticipation. Maybe they downloaded songs from iTunes and were going to put in on the phone. I guess the funny part would be if they sent you the invoice for all of this stuff. I have already bought my charger…
-
When do I get my phone? It has to be unlocked so it can work on the Verizon network. I would like one with a blue cover. I will pay for shipping so you do not have to go through the inconvenience. Minagir, I am not human. I am a pest, like a g…
-
Minagir, I believe His Holiness' experience, in the exile from 1981-85, the Sadat appointed Committee of Five Bishops, and the actions of the American Coptic Association, have led him to take such a stance. There were some radical statements by th…
-
dextrous--right sinistrous--left (sinister). Hey Father Peter, What was the reasoning in the days for the signing on the forehead?
-
Flobi, How is Christ the Head of the Church, if there is no Church? Does that mean He is solely for you?
-
I want an iPhone, but Verizon does not carry it. Zoxsasi, may I have one of the leftovers?
-
JY, Bishop Michael is a General Bishop. He is not a seated bishop (having a See).
-
Interesting, I am surprised by the voting so far. Hopefully there is no overlap in voters/parishes.
-
Flobi, Here's a question: When the Bible calls for a person to seek out the elders of the Church (when someone is sick)...Who are those elders? Do they not have a position, a title, a presence? Which Church? If one is individualistic as you pro…
-
Because, His Holiness, and the Holy Synod have not felt the necessity. His Holiness, used to fluff the issue, but He has said in no uncertain terms (later) that He does not wish quorum to reach three full and seated bishops in one region, which may…
