  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I went to a prayer meeting in Paris yesterday and this nun said that Christ was led by the Holy Spirit to do things. Do we subscribe to such ideas? I guess the short answer to this is yes.  One verse that conf…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=minagir link=topic=5352.msg71308#msg71308 date=1179951277] yes. that was when i first wrote mistakllly. but look at it again, i edited after i posted it. great to know your follwing that fast.. …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] how do you explain the saparations of the church and the corruption of some of them? Any 'church' that has separated from the Church would not constitute being the Bride of Christ as this 'church' is no longer …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] This is a very interesting series of questions and I'd like to take a stab at them if I may. [quote author=vassilios link=topic=5352.msg71292#msg71292 date=1179933937] The Church is the bride of Christ - isnt…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Luther incited the Protestant Reformation for a lot of reasons, and I believe veneration (which may have been misconstrued as worship) was one of them.  But I believe there were 98 others.  He did have a list of 99 points tha…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Gregory, It has to do with the Greek presence in Egypt.  As you may be aware, in around 451 AD, as a result of the Council of Chalcedon, there was a split between the OO and the EO.  Now, I believe during this time, the EO w…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Kerestina, Your second question about the Nephilim is an interesting one, and causes me to raise my own question on top of yours.  If the Nephilim existed at the time of Noah, how could they have continued to exist several c…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Thanks for the clarification.  The statement was worded a bit funny, which is why I was just curious.
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] why wouldn't she have said that if she was born without sin? I guess the reasoning goes: if she did not bear the mark of the sin of Adam, then she would not be in need of salvation, and thus, why would she refer to God as her …
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] The entire vision of a CHristian is that one lives life to the max in the shadow of Christ's love for us. That IS the max. His commandments weren't there to prohibit me having fun, they were there to make sure that i DO have f…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] The advice given thus far has been excellent.  I would just like to add a couple of bible verses for you to contemplate on at this time: Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the L…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] why do you make note to young adults? im refering to young teens. In my mind, the term 'youth' is typically reserved for young adults.  And the fact that you spoke about 18 year olds in particular in Australia, I just assumed …
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] If that woman would read further down in Gensis, she would realize that God Created ADAM first then He said "it is not good to have Adam by himself" so Eve was created AFTER Adam, who was created on the Image of God. Just for …
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] however to give her the title "co-redemptress" meaning she helped in the redemption process.  They are saying that through her suffering, seeing her only Son being crucified, that is part of the price of sin that was paid on o…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] The catholics however, worship her, but we do not do that. To the best of my knowledge, this is not true.  They ask for her intercessions just as we do.  They just view her as not having the stain of original sin (their teach…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] vassilios is exactly correct.  The Holy Theotokos is 100% human.  She is the Mother of God in the flesh but she is by no means Divine.  Just one minor correction: 'Panagia' means 'All Holy'  ;).
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] vassilios, I agree with everything you have said, and you will find in my posts that I repeatedly emphasis that this sort of interaction depends strongly on the individual.  The fragment of my quote that you selected dealt s…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I realize I haven't responded to this in a while, I guess it just slipped my mind. [quote author=why link=topic=5165.msg69653#msg69653 date=1176378966] well as i heard from a sermon, the same way such acts is wrong inside a …
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] In general, in the NT, whenever you see the word 'bride' it does in fact refer to the Church.  Take a look at Ephesian 5 to see how Paul compares married couples to Christ and the Church.  That could help you with your argume…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] As I'm sure we all will agree, God is Spirit.  Being spirit, God is neither male nor female.  He is not confined to a sex per se.  He has chosen to reveal Himself in the masculine (i.e. at the Incarnation with Christ becoming…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Allow me to play devil's advocate if I may.  I see nothing wrong with young adults (note, I'm being specific here) experiencing certain things in life.  What parents should aim for, is to give their children a solid foundatio…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Welcome Nate, I pray you find these forums useful and insightful and you continue to grow in Christ.  Welcome and I look forward to your posts.
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I misspelled the name.  It's actually Geraldo.  Geraldo Rivera is a 'journalist' for Fox News.  And if it was unclear, I was being extremely sarcastic.
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] ophadece, My apologies, I didn't mean to come off sounding harsh or condescending.  I was sincerely wondering if you happened to know of any Church dogma that stated women could not sing the hymns either with (or without) th…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] That's interesting.  I just assumed the Coptic Christians came up with the text themselves.  You wouldn't happen to have a source for that would you?  I'd be curious to read up on it.
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I agree with a lot that has been said, but I object to one thing and I apologize in advance for nit-picking about it.  I object to the use of the word 'cannot'.  To say that the Father or the Holy Spirit could not become inca…
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] You can find the sermon here.
  • [coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=5231.msg70197#msg70197 date=1177172399] Actually the story i heard was that as he was embalming the Lord, he saw the angels walking with him to the tomb saying that hymn. I don't believe it w…
