Yes, I meant the Apostolic Canon. I don't know. Perhaps his transfer has the goal of making the Coptic and the British into one conglomerate diocese in the future? If you think about it, the next generation of Copts and Brits will for all intents…
-
As much as I agree with you, what exactly is he transferring to? From the Church in Great Britain to the Church in Great Britain? And the canons allow transfers for rare purposes. What purpose this is, we do not know.

I read something by Fr. Tadros Malaty describing the story of Pope St. Matta al Maskeen who cut his tongue to try to avoid the papacy: "He was ordained a priest at the age of eighteen by the bishop of that era. When he felt the honour bestowed on hi…

Well, we don't know why or what lead to this decision. Granted, it is leading all of us to be curious, including me, but I avoided asking. I suppose we'll have to wait and see how this pans out.
-
I wonder if this means the Pope might send him to other areas, like the U.S. or Canada.

Zoxsasi, Again, that was not meant to be rude. You seem to think I'm yelling at you. You are overreacting. My concern was how you repeat questions to me. It's pointless to continue since I already answered those questions and that's for one of …

It was not meant to be derogatory or rude. Forgive me. Mina

Well, I personally have reservations. We know why St. Simon and Origen did what they did, and it was not forgiven. The text is very ambiguous as to the reason of St. Barsoum cutting a small piece of his tongue, or at least I'm unable to understand…
-
I suppose so! Not something you hear from more modern revelations of his story.
-
If any other person who read 5+ pages is able to see and understand my posts which already addressed and refuted your concerns, I think it would be a waste to continue this discussion with you publicly Zoxsasi. This is with all due respect. If man…

An interesting thought. Although it seems at this point we may be trying to hold on to the historicity of these two individuals while denying the literalism of the remainder of the story... How/Why would the writer (i.e. Moses? lol) get everything e…
-
I posited in the thread that it is possible to consider the literality of Adam and Eve without contradicting evolution. It's not possible to think they were the "first" or "alone", but perhaps the first to be given an imprint of the divine image, w…

May God strengthen him and multiply his service!

Zoxsasi, Given that we could be repeating questions. You can continue this discussion with me or anyone else privately. Unless you have NEW questions, I think it is best we continue through private messages. God bless.
-
Zoxsasi, I answered your questions. You just don't seem to understand them. I have been straightforward. I did not beat around the bush with you. I thought it best to answer certain questions in the best way possible for you. You didn't answer m…
-
@Zoxsasi...why not not just have your parents watch Dr. Hany Mina's vids about this? He did make more videos about the subject in Arabic if I'm not mistaken.

Gay4XC, Forgive me. I cannot in anyway agree to the comparisons you made. I do not want to cause offense, as I still appreciate and am open to listening to your struggles. But being black or being a woman is a far different story than being lgbt.…
-
Hi Beekay, Thanks for your response. Is evolution a fact? Did we, as humans, evolve from apes?? Yes or no? Is five pages of comments not good enough for you to answer that question?! LOL!!! Ya Zoxsasi, ya Habib el Maseeh, if I had difficulties …
-
This may be a good video, I don't know, but the youtube channel itself I do not like. You couldn't find a source that is solely scientific and we can draw our own non-Protestant conclusions?
-
You're right. I don't disagree. At the same time, I have so many things that I have prioritized discussing with the clergy other than this issue. Maybe someone else might. At the moment now, we can still have this particular discussion informally…
-
I'm sorry. I'm speaking of people I talk to at work or online, most of whom are not of the Church. And I am alluding to 1 Peter 3:15 when I talk to people who seem to not understand why I stand by the Orthodox church's teachings. I'm not sure it'…

I recommend looking at the big picture and reaching to those of authority that can establish change in morale. Of the current morale is affecting a big number of people, why deal with each separately?! Sometimes, they choose not to. If they could,…
-
Well, I'd like to do more research, but I already have my hands tied. At the moment, I have been dialoguing with those struggling with the moral issue behind it, and those who are struggling with the very proclivity itself. That's how I learn more…
-
We also need not just the sociological and scientific, but the theological aspect of it, making sense of the Biblical and Apostolic tradition we have.
-
Yes, psychology is still in its infancy in pretty much a lot of the psychiatric disorders we study. Nevertheless, my main issue is the "conversion" therapies that have been going on. What I have seen that is most successful is that one accepts the…
-
I think I can understand what the issue is. The argument from "nature" is a bit weak, since in nature, there are plenty of examples of homosexuality. There is also a genetic predisposition to it. What we need is an argument made for those who liv…
-
Sorry to bring this back up again but a few people back here in Church are starting a violent opposition to evolution and I am trying to show that on a scientific basis it is tenable and on a theological basis it does not undermine our faith. Well, …
-
It's all the events of Christ culminating in His resurrection. I just listened to the lecture by HG Bishop Raphael, and he does point out that the whole story is necessary and yet not enough, because the Eucharist is also part of our salvation as w…

khdma, Please call a physician immediately. You need medical attention. Part of your suicidal thoughts is connected to clinical depression, which clearly you have. But depression can be treated. Please please please see a doctor ASAP. There is …

Well, I'm doing it because she's a linguist, and maybe through her interest in languages, she may come to the light of Christ.
