[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Lord, have mercy.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As often occurs Thomas, you and I are on the same wavelength. :)

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If I may, I would like to play devil's advocate. I can understand what you are saying, however, the atheist can turn around and say the exact same thing. The 'Chronicle of Narnia' film(s) come to mind. The …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5879.msg78906#msg78906 date=1193748402] Does not the title "Theotokos" leave open interpretation that Christ is not fully Man also? Perhaps Theoanthropotokos is a bett…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Daily miracles we often take for granted: 1) God makes the sun to rise every morning 2) God allows us to wake up each day and greet the morning 3) God grants us a new day to live for Him 4) God grants us heal…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Orthodox11 was referring to Severus' post when Severus said that we should call St. Mary the Mother of God the Son as opposed to the Mother of God. They are, in essence, the exact same titles, and so it is un…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=ANDPOC link=topic=5872.msg78847#msg78847 date=1193529993] I understand your frustration but you're not getting what this movie's agenda is. It tries to subconsciously tell innocent children to g…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Αντωνιοσ link=topic=5542.msg78830#msg78830 date=1193459790] Of course they beleive the same...but they are blind! Look at how they have lost their traditions...the other day, one of the big leade…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Christ did pray for the salvation of the world but He was crucified for ever single soul He created. He did pray for the Samaritan woman, but chose to walk longer to meet her at the well. Likewise, the apostles…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] It's simple history that Orthodoxy is the real Church; this is undisputable. It's hard to put into words what should happen...but they should simply just accept Orthodoxy. It will be like before, with the diff…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] To be honest, I fail to see how a unified date to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity will be a step towards reunification. I don't think the date a particular church celebrates the Feast matters. What matte…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As far as I know, the Church has always taught that there are levels to Heaven (four to be precise). If one reads the second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, we find that Paul speaks about being taken up t…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] My advice to you would be to move on. The damage you have done, presently, seems to be irreparable. Your best option is to just distance yourself from her. She has been really hurt and you trying to pursue …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The length of time is variable, and as mentioned, depends on the priest. Conversion is not something a person rushes into and requires a great deal of 1) understanding of the faith and 2) self-reflection and …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I think, when talking about this subject, we need to be careful in our terminology. First off, let's define what we mean by 'predestination'. According to the Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary, predesti…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I don't think the crossing your mouth when you yawn is either a requirement or necessary. I do it only because I always like to remind myself about of the Cross even when I'm bored in class or something (er, …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The prayers of the righteous Abba Paul be with you.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. I was actually thinking of it terms of the iron and the fire. If we think of the fire as the fullness of Divinity and the iron as Christ's humanity, when we place the i…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Could someone who is in the know explain to me, or at least point me in the right direction here. I fail to see why one cannot say that they partake of the divine nature when one partakes of the Holy Communio…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Um... I think you meant to post in the thread called 'Priest Hood', and not here. ;)
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] :D I agree with you, that is why i emphasised the 'must'. This person must delete the other person, otherwise he will add more temptation then he really needs.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=5839.msg78411#msg78411 date=1192632156] Listen, You obviously realise that homosexuality is a sin. That's great. I suggest you leave this guy. "If your right hand causes yo…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] God speaks on the mouth of the Prophets of the Old Testament, so that is not a valid excuse. We don't know what the consequences would have been if Abraham disobeyed God and we are in no position to speculate…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Hizz_chiilld link=topic=5833.msg78394#msg78394 date=1192628817] no matter how strange it may seem ? [/quote] Yes, no matter how strange it seems. Remember God's command to Abraham? How He tol…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Ophadece gives sound advice. There is only one part that I object to and it is this: - deleting that guy is not the solution; for me I would say, it is keeping him on your contact list, and training yourself…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=His Servant link=topic=5830.msg78365#msg78365 date=1192566990] But what Iqbal is saying is that without Christ one can not live a virtuous life. Many people who do not know christ live a virtuous…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=donia_kiwi link=topic=5831.msg78295#msg78295 date=1192346065] If you could pick one book of the Bible to give to a new believer to read which would you pick Which book of the Bible do you think g…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Based on Abouna's commentary, since God does not accept human sacrifices, I do not think He accepted this one. However, I don't believe that was the point. The point, I think, is that God does not demand sac…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You can find a commentary on this by Abouna Tadros Malaty here. It was posted by our very own, Hos Erof.
