[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] To reiterate what Mina said, and this is a valid question: which is holier, the Holy One, or the object (or person) that the Holy One has sanctified? God is Holy, and thus anything that is holy on earth is m…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] It seems Mina beat me to it. :D
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Mina has provided a fantastic synopsis of the Coptic prayer life (if you will). The Agpeya is solely for individual daily prayers. The seasonal differences are seen in the evening Vesper services, the Midnig…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Hello sonya, It seems to me you are becoming Orthodox for the wrong reason. You shouldn't convert simply because you want to marry someone. Your love for Christ should be the driving reason you wish to beco…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Metanoia link=topic=5701.msg76188#msg76188 date=1188355417] Kno[]c...sorry I don't have the fonts to write your name properly...so I apologize... I thank you for the welcome and am sure I will fi…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] My apologies, I totally forgot to reference the article. Truth be told, I didn't recall where I got if from until I went home and checked. It's from the Orthodox Study Bible. Safaa, As for the statement i…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Sounds good to me. ;)
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I found a nice article that I forgot I had on the matter. Thought I'd share it with you all: Deification Deification is the ancient theological word used to describe the process by which a Christian becomes…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Welcome Metanoia, I hope you find this site beneficial. There have been a lot of really good discussions on here, and I look forward to reading your posts in the future.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Joyisgod presents a very good verse about avoiding those who could lead you astray. However, there will be times when such confrontation is unavoidable and so see what St. Peter has to say about it: 1 Peter 3…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Here is what the Keraza has to say on this matter.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Please tell me you're joking. Is that the best excuse you can come up with? Just because a person, who is canonized in the Orthodox Church, does not have his (or her) name preceded with the word 'Saint', it …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] From the Coptic Synaxarium (Lives of the Saints) Commemorations on Kiahk 23 1. The Departure of David, the Prophet and King. On this day, of the year 2990 of the world, the great King and the saintly honor…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] What... are you trying to tell me that Prophets are not Saints? John the Baptist, the link between the Old and New Testaments, was both a Saint and a Prophet. Again, think before you type.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Oh I see, so politicians, according to you, cannot be righteous. I guess that means that men such as King David are not Saints by virtue of the fact that: 1) David was a politician 2) David did not raise the…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] After a quick google search, I found this article published in Daily News Egypt. It doesn't give very much information on the matter.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Does anyone else see the irony here? You demand that we account for how we know that Constantine was a righteous man without being God, and thus, able to discern the hearts of man, and yet you have taken it u…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] John, I have heard this as well, and if it is true, is very troubling news indeed. For our hierarchy to start teaching such heretical things is very disturbing to say the least. I had heard that this is in …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Is there any reason you post irrelevant material and then remove it? Also, I fail to see how Constantine plays any role in the validity of Christianity. He had no say in the founding of the faith. He had no…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Is Christianity merely recycled paganism? No. Are there concepts in Christianity that are found in paganism? Yes. I think I've already been through this. When the Apostles went around preaching to the nati…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] What about sun worship? Wasn't praying to the sun what set Moses the Black on the path of Christianity? Christ is 'the light of the world'. Thus, one could reasonably associate sun-like images with Him. Ev…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] While there are examples of pagan religions that show hints of similarities with Christianity, they are superficial at best. Most of these 'ancient' pagan religions that do resemble Christianity arose after t…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=5684.msg75909#msg75909 date=1187830881] No because in egypt, someone was doing the same thing. "play Liturgy" And while he was praying the consecration of the bread and w…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As far as I know, regarding Max Michel, he appointed himself bishop. No member of ANY recognized Orthodox clergy ordained him Bishop. Thus his ordination is a farce and he is a nobody. Origen's case is diff…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Origen was an ordained priest. Whether rightfully or wrongfully, a Bishop of another See saw fit to ordain him into the service of the Holy Apostolic Orthodox Church of God. As such, Origen was a priest and …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I'm not sure why it matters if it is the hamal or not, but that's another matter. The transformation of the bread and wine to the Body and Blood of Christ is defined within the context of the Liturgy. If an …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=gregorytheSinner link=topic=5684.msg75889#msg75889 date=1187803096] This also got me thinking: When Origen was ordained a Priest against Church Law (cuz he was a eunuch) he had to perform a Mass…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Thanks for the reiteration of the obvious. I did see it the first time, and yet you still felt compelled to pursue the matter. Just makes me wonder, that's all.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If you agree that what we have here is a contradiction, then why are you entertaining the thought at all? It should be dismissed outright.
