Well, from what I understand about Abouna Anthony, HG Bishop Suriel publicly on facebook criticized how one of his sermons were word-for-word coming from a Reformed Pastor. If that is true, doesn't one think that perhaps the criticism against Aboun…

I'm afraid he too is under a lot of criticism for the way he does his mission as well. I do share these accounts from second hand experience of others, but I have personally not been to any of these churches. I've been to one mission church that I …
-
From what I understand, some mission churches, like SMSV, seem to be "crypto-Protestant". There is a right way and wrong way of doing mission, and from what I hear, SMSV is going the wrong direction, at least it's become the poster child of wrong m…

Look, I don't mind Arabic or even Coptic. But I have to think of others. The fact of the matter is that while you could start with 60-70% English, and you do have the essence of mission-oriented culture by example, but the trend is inevitable. Ev…

Dear P, I'm not against using Arabic to help immigrants. However, I disagree with your assessment that language is a facade. The facade is precisely the encouragement to create a choir rather than engage the assembly to chant. But I can assure yo…

Btw, I should point out Rem, the real scholar is you :) You know how to read Coptic. You have a major benefit that I wish I could have, especially when it comes to Coptic translations of theological works of the fathers

Also, one can take into account that even St. Diosocrus got wind of the fact that he was accused of Eutychianism. So he shared some letters while he was in exile in Gangra: http://orthodoxjointcommission.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/from-a-letter-of-th…

Thank you for your kinds words. I have to thank many scholars who have made writings available in English and most importantly Fr. Peter Farrington of the British Orthodox Church, who wrote many great articles in elucidating the history and theolog…

Fr. Tadros Malaty is awesome, but he would say a couple of things that might scandalize some minds, not that I am scandalized by them, since I don't mind them. His goal is to hear everyone's voice in liturgy. If a screen can do that, he would supp…

It seemed to be soon afterwards, about a decade after Chalcedon where some anti-Chalcedonians were writing against Eutyches and "his followers". St. Timothy II (known as Aelurus) lead a quick ecumenical council in Ephesus in 475 AD (dubbed Ephesus …

nice! Congratulations to the diocese of Melbourne, and truly to all of Australia! Well-deserved blessings for HG Bishop Dr. Suriel

Better than being labeled heretics or blasphemers. Truth Seeker sought to tell us how much we are blaspheming and engaging in heresy. Instead, we call him out on how Protestant his beliefs are. It's not so much that we are labeling him, but we ar…
-
Is Truth Seeker non-denominational? He seemed to be defending Protestants in his last post. As he said, "STOP calling everybody who disagrees with you a Protestant, as if Protestants have walked away from God, whereas in reality Protestants protest…
-
Dear Faithful Servant, I do not know why you feel the need to try to disprove something that does not matter to the faith. The reason why I am passionate about it, as I mentioned in the other thread, is how it matters to science and how disingenuou…

"Believe only in Scripture" turns the Bible into the Quran. Protestants who are Sola Scriptura believe it is more important that God became a book rather than God becoming a man. It's not the Word of God incarnate that they believe in; it's the wo…
-
Anyone who understands Semitic culture, understands hyperbole. Christ used it a whole lot of times. It's amazing I see Protestants who love to follow the idea that they should not call "anyone on earth father" as the Scriptures says, and yet they st…

You are filled with quotes aren't you...lol

Dear Ousia, I will try to look at some of your sources later. If possible, is there anything in particular that you want to address that the videos or sources mentioned that I have missed? Apologies for not doing this earlier, but a belated welcome…

Evolution is NOT an effort to disprove spirituality. It is NOT an effort to define the Image of God in man. If it is not an effort to define God or disprove Him, it is certainly NOT an effort to limit man's transcendence of his own material nature…
-
Father bless! When having these discussions, it's always off the cuff with me. But I can paraphrase based on my past discussions and anticipations from others what evolution is and is not. Evolution is a scientific theory that explains the change o…
-
I think the popularity of Cantors stemmed from the fact that less people from the congregation really became less involved with the hymns of the Church. This should not be so. Perhaps female cantors can help increase involvement, but I would say t…
-
Hi Ousia, The ousia of your arguments lack any concrete reality of the situation ;) Furthermore, while there is some Tielhard language in the idea, Tielhard tried to speculate and mix the spirituality with evolution. Whether or not this is correct …

Since my Facebook is disconnected, I was wondering if perhaps you might be able to send a message under that quote and ask Fr. Aidan where the quote is from. I love the quote, but I now have this itching habit that I must know where exactly it's fr…

Where is this from anyway?
-
Notice how these are all in spirituality considered the "deadly sins". What's missing is wrath (although I suppose intemperance can cover both wrath and gluttony) and vainglory though :)
-
What about the google scanners? From what I understand google is willing to copy just about anything you give it to copy in its database, and they have an extremely expensive scanner from what I gather.
-
Thank you for your kind and undeserved words really. I'm no better than anyone. I simply learn and share what I learned. My passion for science is personally that I find science really sacred. God Himself created the laws of science, and I vener…

There does need to be a serious digitization project for manuscripts. It would be a great service to offer some of these scanners for anyone who has these manuscripts. Rather than make them public, to scan them and keep the originals away from the…

Do not be afraid. There will be disappointing things happening around you, but Christ is never disappointing when you put your anchor in Him first and foremost. He says "if you do not hate your mother or father or wife or even your self and not fo…
