  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9590.msg118560#msg118560 date=1282683932] Fr. Peter, I did not know you had a blog. What's the address? [/quote] I didnt either, I know he has a book on lulu.com, which is where mine will be.

  • [quote author=aidan link=topic=9620.msg118551#msg118551 date=1282639518] I'd be interested to read that. . Did you write it yourself in Amharic? Did you translate it into English before publishing? [/quote] I wrote it in English. My brother is part…
  • I am all for a Mosque at ground zero.....on one condition.....we get to have a Coptic Orthodox Church right next to the Kabah in Mecca. But in reality I am just as opposed to the building of a mosque anywhere in the world as I am building one at gro…
  • Mabsoota, what I am referring to is not fashion designers or perverted men. I am referring, if you read closely, to Christian women. I see women receive communion with their cleavage hanging out. I see women receive communion in tight fitting clothe…
  • CAN PEOPLE PLEASE SUPPORT MY BLOG!!! I have six followers. Only one of them ever actually reads it and leaves comments. Seriously though if you like what I write here then you will like the blog even more. Come on people.

  • Brilliant Fr. Peter! I agree, unfortunately I am not being humble, I am actually a terrible Christian. I use Iconography, as everyone should, and that works very well. But I dont take Iconography everywhere I go, well I do have some but I forget abo…
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9615.msg118487#msg118487 date=1282424489] I would always recommend the Jesus Prayer as the means and method of bringing about the constant remembrance of God. If we become 'pray-ers' then prayer is something …
  • [quote author=jfarag92 link=topic=9590.msg118459#msg118459 date=1282328778] You say that some one only returns to god if he wills it- how would his will go against that? [/quote] John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the…
  • [quote author=Pi Onkh link=topic=9615.msg118477#msg118477 date=1282399363] I'm sorry but i don't understand? Why do you need to cover your head in order to remember God? Do you mean while you are praying? [/quote] No not while I pray, that wouldnt …
  • Pi Onkh, These are referring to in church correct? Atleast I always perceived them as pertaining to church. As jydeacon points out that the bishops, priests, and many deacons wear head coverings except in the church. What I am talking about is outsi…
  • This is very difficult so dont feel so bad. It is the wording that gets people, not necessarily the concept. The Holy Spirit proceeds ONLY from the Father, not the Son. Here is where the catholics have misinterpreted St. Cyril, the translate the wor…
  • [quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=9590.msg118347#msg118347 date=1282119591] Mark 1:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Ioannes, thank you and God bless you and your work. Indeed we cannot be fishers…
  • In Fr. Mikhail E. Mikhail's book Focus on the Coptic Family, he says that there are three persons to the marriage, the man, the woman, and God.
  • [quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=9590.msg118296#msg118296 date=1282081841] I've read it, congratulations! I in your books I hope you'll emphasize more on edifying aspects and winning souls to Christ. Good luck. GBU [/quote] Nobody comes to Chri…
  • Zoxasi, Tell your friend NOT to get married! Monasticism is so much easier.
  • [quote author=abanoub2000 link=topic=9590.msg118231#msg118231 date=1282004817] yay i followed! and now no one can censor you :D [/quote] That is probably not a good thing, that is why I love Fr. Peter so much, I tore into him and then he put me in …
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9590.msg118204#msg118204 date=1281950031] I have subscribed now. [/quote] Now I can brag, Fr. Peter subscribed to my blog! I love Fr. Peter!!!! Thanks Abouna!
  • He is limited....
  • Even though this has become a comedy routine, atleast I am keeping peoples attention without offending them.
  • 41 people have viewed this and not a single one has subscribed to my blog. WTF people!
  • [quote author=mnc_hnn link=topic=9588.msg118189#msg118189 date=1281919473] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9588.msg118105#msg118105 date=1281720380] I have a mental health problem and I am unable to do most of the jobs out there, as you can see wi…
  • Its a good medetative prayer so yea you can do metonias or you can sit, or even stand. I put tunes to it to make it much easier to repeat. This is usually when I light incense, in a meditative state which I am not sure if that is good or not. I thin…
  • You SHOULD have gotten that. I dont think anyone cares about this thread. Which Saint referred to Marcion of Sinope as "The first born of Satan"? Was it: A) St Clement of Rome B) St Cyril of Alexandria C) St Polycarp of Smyrna D) St Hippolytus of …
  • I just read a quote by St Joh Chrysostom that adds to a further explains Fr. Peter and the other great saints: "Through the wrong-doing of one man many became sinners. That, when Adam sinned and became mortal, those who were descended from him shou…
  • To be honest the Orthodox Church practices both infant and adult baptism. There is no doctrine that says a child MUST be baptized at a certain age. The Church advises the parents to baptize the child, but the early church especially practiced both i…
  • Fr. Peter, I am looking forward to this very much. Now that I am done with my book, I am trying to understand creation and the beginning, as opposed to my usual studies on eschatology. It is much more confusing that I had initially perceived it to b…
  • You know I can take alot, I really can. But when someone tells me Christ is not God and that the Trinity is a "freakish three headed God." I have a serious problem. When they send me their garbage in the mail and ask me to call them, I do, but I don…
  • Thank you for the compliment but I only seem intelligent by repeating the early church fathers, so credit them. I also barely made it through High School, I actually had to drop out and go to home schooling, which I cheated through. I failed College…
