  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Actually, it does matter how the message is said.  In the way you posted before, people could be repulsed, annoyed or even get angry, and then what?  You haven't conveyed the meaning you wanted because of the …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but I think your word choice is a little bit inappropriate, don't you?  You could have said exactly the same sort of thing using more 'civil' and 'mature' language.  Ple…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=vassilios link=topic=5102.msg68559#msg68559 date=1173894671] Abouna, in a meeting, said :"once u confess, then its NO ONE's business. You should never discuss what you've confessed with ANYONE". …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=vassilios link=topic=5102.msg68555#msg68555 date=1173891275] Man... my question was simple: Can we or can we not HIDE stuff from our future spouse?? [/quote] No, you cannot hide anything from yo…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Simply, it means to be like God.  That is what the whole process of theosis is about.  As we grow spiritually and our relationship with God deepens, we become more and more like Him.  Please pray for me.

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Firstly, the issue of global warming as an actual phenomenon, as far as I know, is still up for debate.  That being said, I do not think it is a part of God's plan or a sign of any kind.  If global warming is …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=vassilios link=topic=5098.msg68506#msg68506 date=1173807094] Does forget mean "not to hold anything against that person?" [/quote] That is exactly what it means to forget.  As humans, our brai…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] This is taken from H.H. Pope Shenouda's book So Many Years with the Problems of People - Part 1: Bible Questions Question: How did Christ that loves peace and is the prince of peace say " Do not think that I …

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] and they ask why don't we have unity. i guess it's going to be the same way for the rest of the topic. my view and urs. I wouldn't go that far.  We can have unity without uniformity.  I think it's important to …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] it's either corrupt or not. Christ said let your yes be yes, and no be no. I don't think I ever said we weren't corrupt.  I just hold mankind in higher regard than you.  I don't think either of us are wrong, w…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I agree that we are corrupt, and that we will not cease from corruption until we finally make it home to God.  I just don't think so negatively about mankind, that's all.  We have been made in the image and li…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I've actually just found an online Synaxarium, which contains every reading of the year.  You can find it here. Please pray for me.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If you click here, you will find some articles on a few of the Saints of the Church.  It's a start.  I'll see if I can find any more. Please pray for me.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If your knowledge, and your philosophy, and your ideas inspired me to write a book, are the words mine or yours? So long as you write your own words, they are yours.  If you happen to use my words directly with…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Actually my question was your disagreement with this statement: The term the Word of God refers to Jesus Christ, mean that He is the human version of God (as we all know) who says the words of God and who have…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I have always been hesitant to say that science is capable of proving (or disproving) the existence of God.  The aim of science is to explain the physical world.  It can, in no way, account for anything supern…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You don't have to know anything.  If you happen to be interested in a particular aspect of the Church, whether it be theology, hymnology, coptic or anything, then by all means pursue it.  However, you are not …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] While the Bible is not exclusively a history book, it does contain the history of the Hebrews and the reality is, we can learn from that history.  In this day and age, we continue to learn from the past to imp…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Putting those verses in context, we see that the 'word of God' is the prophecies the Jeremiah spoke to the children of Israel, not the book which Jeremiah wrote which contained these prophecies among other thi…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Mina, I still don't think you fully grasp what I am saying and what I have been saying.  As such, to relieve any undue frustration you may be feeling, I will wait and see what others have to say on the topic …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem ehmot>[/coptic] I guess I haven't been clear, because it seems we are going in circles.  :) Okay, let me answer your question: If He, the Loghos of God, uses the Scriptures in His word, doesn't that make it, the word of God!…
