GODlovesme, I was under the same impression. I was taught that since all sin originates from the first sin of Adam, that sin is the most important one to be cleansed of through baptism. Dr. Raafat Fahim Gindi wrote a wonderful bo…

[quote author=DimyanCoptic link=topic=9518.msg117924#msg117924 date=1281554408] i would also ask your father of confession. [/quote] I feel so bad for my FOC. I ask him some of the strangest things, and like when I confess, wow. I know that man is …

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9585.msg118093#msg118093 date=1281708574] No we are not born with any sin. This is the clear teaching of the Fathers. Our Lord was born into our human condition exactly like us. Willingly enduring the consequ…

I thought we were born with the sin inherited from Adam. While an infant cannot be held responsible for this, because of its inability to understand, it still should be washed away. The reason it is so important is because this is where ALL sin orig…

Indeed! One thing I did forget to add was that Leo put St Dioscorus under house arrest, without telling anyone. St Dioscorus could not leave the house because of armed guards. Leo then summoned St Dioscorus knowing full well he was not going to come…

[quote author=axum link=topic=9565.msg118024#msg118024 date=1281629907] This particular verse is mentioned repeatedly by pentecostals to sway the ethiopian tewahedo people .They use this as a spring board to spray their toxic venom . I think fath…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9563.msg118028#msg118028 date=1281633802] How about adding Pope Shenouda III trivia? He is a living saint as far as I am concerned. [/quote] I think he has some good writings, but without elaborating or maki…

Welcome to my world! lol No seriously though I know how you feel. When I was younger it was much worse for me and now that I am Orthodox I am gaining control over this. What I have learned is that this is how I am, and I cannot change that. So I rea…

There is one mediator between God and man, which does differ from intercession. Yet there is scripture that says that there is one intercessor. In a sense yes there is only one intercessor when it comes to interceding to save mankind from sin. There…

This thread is not going very well, LOL. But yes that last one was St. Clement. I used that so people remember that when I talk about Gen 6

Good Job TITL, thats 2 for you, but here is a VERY difficult one and I think you will be shocked who said this one. Please everyone who may have an opinion on this, keep it to yourself or make another thread to discuss it. This is controversial beca…

Do you want to get a tattoo on your head? I would ask your wife before you do something like that. It could be a problem for you later on. If you really want to do something for "Apocalyptic" reasons, why don't you buy yourself a white horse a…

Mohammed was actually Christian, sort of. He was taught by a Nestorian monk, or excommunicated monk named Bohaira, which is in the hadith. Where do you think Mohammed got the idea to live in a cave? How many jews lived in caves? How many pagans live…

George, we prolly do have alot in common. I got a facebook account mainly to promote my book amongst Ethiopians, God willing they publish it and I am sure they will. I have to say it got absurd. I dont mean to pass judgment but I cant stand seeing s…

Yea Mabsoota, brilliant.

Well there are two ways to handle situations like these. Stand up for what you believe in, or dont believe in, and mark the answers as you feel. Or you can go with the flow and not say anything. The second option will get you a good mark in school, …

Thank you Fr. Peter for your wise words. I have been doing alot of thinking, and I do believe I feel this way because of the fast paced western culture. Its difficult for someone like me to keep up, or even to understand what is going on. That on to…

CopticCross, yeah, I dont know, Mormons are pretty bad. Maybe the JW and Mormons should get together and make a mega heresy. I am glad you do speak your mind, thats good. I am fully aware that I am an ambassador for God.

I have had plenty of crap slung my way, and not one apology and I will not apologize to you or any egyptian. What I will do is elaborate on what I was saying when referring to "egyptians". I am referring to the culture, not necessarily the people th…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9525.msg117709#msg117709 date=1281387688] Just as a joke Ioannes, you did submit. You said you were married. [/quote] hahaha yea, I guess your right, maybe that is why my wife was so upset about the sticker.
-
Sad, not one single apology.

I have a bumper sticker on my car that says "I will not submit" in english and arabic, as well as one that says sharia and is crossed out. But what I dont understand is, what is this going to accomplish?

Aidan, I have no interest in debating them. The only reason that I did is because they were harassing me. And for CopticCross, no matter what anyone says and what fashion it is said, they are stuck and only God can pull them out. They have given the…

Mike calm down there cowboy. Its not like I sat down and thought, hey let me make the most pointless thread, and make sure that ignorant egyptians insult me. If you think that was my intention your gravely mistaken. I did not expect the horrible fee…
