Eusebius, as a historian, makes specific reference to the Life of Christ as well as in the Gnostic and Canonical Gospels. So from a historical perspective He Exists. These facts identify there were real people that lived, talked, ate, and listened…

You cannot examine God under the microscope or by telescope. Save yourself the time of trying.

Come on, I thought it was one of those cool spiritual jokes. It was not that bad.

Actually, the Fast is extended for this year. No one should break their fast. We are suppose to continue right into the Fast of St. Mary.

Superman BAM, Your reply is very brave and correct. Yet, you will get much opinion to the contrary. Get ready for the backlash.

Minagir, You have good taste. It is an amazing book that few people pay attention to its existence.

It's the "Thomas" factor in human beings.

I like that verse. I will file it for use on my co-workers.

Perspective.

Ioannes, I hear your point of view, but I feel that there is a Satan inspired aspect to it. Even when referring to John Milton in Paradise Lost (granted it is literature and not Biblical or Patristic), one can see the aspects of defiance and chall…

There is a time for kindness and a time for defense. It is relative to the situation. You have to call on God for His Inspiration.

There are no contradictions in the Holy Bible. Those who call upon contradictions did not read the Bible in Its entirety, nor have they reached out to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment and fulfillment. The only contradictions are in their own rega…

If you are versed in Arabic, or have someone that may translate for you, I would also recommend the Divine Liturgy Book (The Three Divine Liturgies--Al-Khulagi Al-Mokaddas) that is printed by the El-Muharraq Monastery. It is an amazing resource in …

If you read the "Sayings of the Desert Fathers" (Bustan El-Rohban); as translated and edited by Sr. B. Ward, you will find plenty of examples of those: who were fornicators pre- and post- monastic vows. Penance and the path to penance are the key …

I'm curious myself.

Ioannes, My reply was just to binC. I agree with you about the reference point. I do not believe that atheists exist, just people trying to cover their faults, immorality, and their allegiance with Satan, by saying there is no God. Their being i…

His Grace, Bishop Michael was taken from th monastic ranks. He never served in New Jersey. His name prior to consecration as a bishop was: Fr. Shenouda El-Baramousy. He received his monastic vocation from the Monastery of the Virgin Mary of the …

Moses asked that question, and he was given a very simple answer: 'I have no beginning or origin.' [paraphrase] God responded simply: "I AM".

Miracles are not magic. The Signs and Words of Our Master are not incantations.

The Deacon's Service Book (Khidmit El-Shammas) has it as being inclusive to be used for the Feasts relating to St. John the Baptist. I was adding to your comment with a reference to the okay.

In the Service Book of the Deacon, it is specific to be inclusive of 'Oran'.

I'm glad that His Holiness is not restricted to the wheelchair. I do not think it is custom to carry him in. I believe it was to spare His Holiness in entering by wheelchair as was done in India. I could be wrong.

Was His Holiness able to get out of the wheelchair at all?

So when a person gets lung cancer, is that their fault or God's fault? I have a feeling I know who will get blamed.

Zoxsasi, I would contact the Diocese in France and ask for any information.

It's funny, when President Obama spoke on national television, he called on people to seek out a higher being but never saying God specifically. He is such a wonderful and in-charge President. [this comment is a complete expression of sarcasm, in c…

Divorce is the worst word in the English language. Divorce is the worst word in the Church. Divorce is the cause of 90% of the problems in the United States. Divorce as set forth by the Church is allowed relative to: 1. spousal infidelity 2. a s…

Fr. Peter, That is what I thought, relative to your comments, then why is "Thanks be to God Always" allowed to publish an invitation to a non-canonical Conference underwritten by an Anti-Patriarch? And for that matter to make the notation that Ab…

Fr. Peter, I am confused. There seems to be a contradiction in the posting from Thanks be to God Always. Please clarify for us.

It's actually pretty easy. I do not believe in prizes it teaches bad habits and associations.
