[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You can find quite a bit of information on Encyclopedia Coptica as well as The Coptic Network.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] AH HA!! In that context, it makes perfect sense. I forgot about the separation of the temporal versus the eternal sense of time. It didn't even cross my mind. In that case, I fully understand what you mean…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Mark423 link=topic=5659.msg75493#msg75493 date=1187102148] I'm with the muslims on this one. I'm not a fan of drinking in any quantities. [/quote] To each his (or her) own.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I've said it before and I'll say it again: 'big' in the description of ker bear's head is the ultimate in understatements. :D
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Is drinking wrong? No. Is drinking to excess wrong? Absolutely. Anything taken in moderation is not harmful to a person. Anything taken to excess can be not only harmful, but deadly as well.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Forgive me for nit-picking, but this is important. The priest does not make the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. It is through the prayers of the prie…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Matt, Are you sure about that? I was looking at the original Nicean Creed and that 'logic' would still be faulty. Here's the Creed: We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things visible a…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I'm still not seeing where you're coming from or how the logic I illustrate above hints at any sort of bias. I think anyone who reads the phrase 'proceeds from the Father and the Son' and 'proceeds from the F…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Hey ker bear, you r who r u....the prob is that ppl arent content with that Listen, I have this confession to make. I'm not content with being me. I really truly want to be you. You just, like, totally, ROC…

-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] That is an interesting question. We, unlike God, are not infinite. Thus, it is possible to fully know ourselves. Knowing ourselves is a step to knowing God however, because we have been created in the image…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I fail to see how the words 'proceeds from the Father and the Son' and 'proceeds from the Father through the Son' mean the same thing. I don't think it is a problem of semantics at all. We are talking about …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I would also like to see at least an apology from Saudi Arabia for the Arab conquest.... and even the Ottoman Turks. Why? What difference will that possibly make in the big scheme of things? Will it erase 130…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] tight tanks...... Ew. Now there's a nasty mental image.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] 1) You'll know it's God because of the incredible peace that you will feel inside. There is no other way to describe it. Suffice it to say, when it's God, you'll just know. 2) Does God help any person commi…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] All of mankind is God's creation. When Christ came to earth and became one of us, when He lived among us, taught us and died for us, He did it for all of us, without exception. The love of God is boundless a…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Just a small question for you: who on earth is worthy or deserving of anything?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] 'In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!' (John 16:33). Christ told us that we would face persecution. He told us that since the world hated Him, it will hate us as…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] While I know I'm not contributing much here, I just wanted to post a quote (which can be found in my signature). It goes along the lines of what Epnomos enTaio was saying: Self-discovery is a sincere awarenes…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5649.msg75367#msg75367 date=1186719624] the thing with common sense is it's neither common nor is it a sense. [/quote] Perhaps in modern "Western" society, there is n…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I agree with Orthodox11 when he says: There's a difference between defiling something holy and sanctifying something profane. There is a lot of truth behind that statement.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I've read some of the quotes from these Church Fathers, and I don't see a problem with them at all. They do not support the filioque in any way whatsoever. The Filioque states that the Holy Spirit proceeds f…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The story of Lilith as Adam's first wife is founded in Jewish mysticism and folklore. In other words, it's a myth. There is no reason to believe in the existence of a Lilith outside of scholastic fantasy. I…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] People, this is a non-issue. In a word (well, two actually): common sense. That's all there is to it. Do not take extremes. You are all intelligent individuals. You know what is appropriate and what isn't…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The Church is referred to as the 'Bride of Christ'. Thus, it would make sense to refer to the Church in the feminine. Also, in Greek, the word church, εκκλησία (ekklesia) is feminine.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Not sure what sort of answer you were looking for, but no, I did not say that sexual attraction was inherently sinful. Lust is though. Anyway, regarding your other questions: Is masturbating a sin? Yes. It …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Please do not think that I believe our pope to be a heretic. That was not my intent. I was just illustrating an example of the fallibility of man, including one elected to the position of the Patriarchate. …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Thomas, Fantastic post.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] helpmelordjesus, I happen to have those two books by H.H. so I will definitely take a look at what he has to say in the matter. kerestina, Time alone to reflect is an excellent suggestion. It is something …
