Ioannes, I have a lot of regard and respect for you. I do not discount anything that you post. I find your posts very well thought out and scholarly in approach. I also am touched by your road to Orthodoxy. My back and forth with you is along t…

Minagir, I've been meaning to ask you if you know where I can get a copy. I went to the link and it was out of stock.

I understand the "grandfather" thought, but it is still with major ramifications.
-
I would not listen to it. Would you listen to something in Arabic if you knew it was constant obscenities, or was the worship of Satan, or was abusing your mother? Even if you didn't understand it? What we listen to gets into our heads and memorie…

If he was rational, then it was heresy. If he was senile, then why was he not releaved of duties? Both scenarios are scary.
-
He also declared it a divinely inspired book. I ask yet again, is this not heresy? Should John Paul have been excommunicated. The koran presented to him was not a surprise. As with everything in the Latin Church, everything is rehearsed and st…

One last thought before I head to sleep. We have to reflect on certain false interpretations even in the realm of Art, such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling that depicts the creation of Adam. Firstly, one cannot conceive or picture the Father, since …

Minagir, Yet, again, some interesting points and insights.
-
Zoxsasi, Your comments ring loudly in similarity for myself in discussions that I have with Americans. Heresies never die out they remanifest themselves in different forms.
-
I think, to add to the discussion, and until I get back to my house, since I am away for business, I believe there are obvious points that do not necessarily equate to full meanings expound by the last several posts. Example: --Angels transcend ph…

As usual, BAM, has taken the discussion to an elevated course. I agree wholeheartedly, and I retract my simple statements. I would say that the references help to get the overall aspect of the Bible. It allows us to see, as BAM says, that It is n…

Yousi, I believe you have wonderful insight.

jshouk, Wool or Cashmere?

Ioannes, I didn't think you were attacking His Holiness at all. My thought was that of trust in the Fathers of the Church over the centuries in their review of books and their thought for inclusion in the Holy Bible. You have a strong founding in…

Probably not, as the song goes, "He's got the whole world in His Hands."

Relative to the stupidity of human conduct, at times, I feel that some have descended from jackasses and not apes. So I guess, in this unique case, I believe in evolution--eventhough, I am not a Church Father. I wonder if this comment will be cens…

Geo, ilovesaintmark, you have been very humorous these past days. Has the heat been getting to you? As stated previously, and as judged by others on this site, I have no humor. I am humorless. However I am 'Mokhless', which either means I lack a …

I believe Fr. Athanasius is on the mark for all of his comments. So do you put more faith in girl magazines than the Bible for learning to socialize? I'm confused, which one is inspired by God for our welfare? Go to church and meet up with people…

I guess Oprah is damned.

Read the footnotes and cross-references as you go along.

Sodr2, I will take it that you are not familiar with Arabic, and not that I am picking on you, but, it may be well to avoid using this term: yanhar iswid!
-
St. Anthony is amazing. Pope Shenouda always brings him into any conversation or sermon. Your mother and father gave you a great name. You should be proud that they on behalf of God, the Almighty, granted you that name. Have you read his life st…

What is an off licence?

Mabsoota, His Eminence, Metropolitan Bishoy--Metropolitan of Damyat and Secretary of the Holy Synod--has a very nice book on this issue. When I gt home I will send you the name. It is in a lot of the church bookstores.
-
It is not Pope Shenouda that kept the Book of Enoch out of the Canonical Bible. It was the work and inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the function of the (true) Ecumenical gatherings of centuries past.
-
From an exact familial placement: I would say that he is Mr. & Mrs. Mohammed's son.
-
Yousi, You are not ignorant in Church matters. You are in a learning phase. Keep doing what you are doing. For someone seeking the aspects of the Church, you are not ignorant, by any means. You are thoughtful in learning about your Mother.
-
I would also say that part of the concerted effort on by our conquerors in Egypt is to erase our identity and thus make it easier to separate us from our heritage in its full; inclusive of our Christianity. As an example, because of the Arabization…
-
ChildofOrthodoxy, I do not think the issue was relative to religion, since there are Arabs who are Chritian. The issue is relative to ethnicity, nationality, and proper history. Someone like Nasser tried, through his arrogance to assimilate the la…

You mean the Judgment Day Picture?
