The omophorion is nothing similar to the bornos. The omophorion is a stole, whereas the bornos is a cape. RO

My favourite Poem by HH. Like a true poet, take a listen to how HH uses certain words, how the letters within the words seem to produce and actual emotional. How he stops at places one wold otherwise not stop; how he combines sentences in a single …

I also would like a copy. I will speak to my parish library to see if we can order some copies. God bless this effort and those who laboured. Though, I must say, I am concerned that the poems are translated! His poems in Arabic are beautiful. I st…

IP, I din't readt your last message. Keep smiling. Everyone else, have yourself, a merry little Christmas. Raymond Melika

To love someone does not mean to justify his babbling. If it is, then Christ should have allowed the pharisees to continue spewing their filth. If you love, then good on you, and it is a blessed virtue. But to justify the meaningless babbling of thi…

Irishpilgrim, Grow up, get an education, and find a psychiatrist. I truly think you are insane (I'm not being colorful with language) Joshua, lying to yourself is as big a sin as lying to others. Don't do it. Ray

Lol, IP, I forgive you. It was a simple question, and you felt the need to be defensive (as is often) Anyway, I'm not calling for a united church, but if you feel something is wrong with papal resignation, please explain why. I should warn you, t…

Hey IP, I wonder what you think of Isaac the Syrian who retired from being Bishop of Nneveh? In the Orthodox Church, we have St. Theophan the Recluse who retired from pastoral ability to retreat in prayer? In the British Orthodox Church, Father Mi…

You beat me to it, Rem. And I also do not think Anba Mettias is excommunicated. I believe he is just removed from his diocese. God Bless

Everyone relax LOL. Pope Benedict has stepped down from his post as Bishop of Rome, but has not left the episcopal calling. For example, we have many priests who, becoming too old to work, have retained their priesthood, but retired from pastoral …

For the record: Pray

Actually, in regards to the magisterial model of the Catholic church, I actually heard Metropolitan Pachomious actually say that our church legislation was governed by the magesterium! I was extremely upset that because of the model of leadership wh…

Thank you, Bibo :D

Thank you kindly, Ramez! I can't read french unfortunatley. But I will try to use the sources you list to find other English sources. If you come across anything, it would be greatly appreciated! RO

Thanks, all. I was wondering if there were any scholarly articles or chapters of books. I guess I should be a little more specific. I am doing some study into the idea of "Logos and Nomos." I need help discerning between "Spermata To Logo" from "S…

Epchois, I am not at all disagreeing with you. I think I agree with you more than I disagree. In fact, in whatever study of theology I have done, I have noticed a huge influence of platonic theology incorporated. Origen is another one. I love both…

Solidman, I am actually OK with continueing this discussion with you. I calmed down a little. I think, although this may not be comfortable, that the best way to do this is in fact the quote-refute comment. You spoke of me as liking Om Kalthoum. H…

LOL. Solidman, I think I have seen more supported opinion in The Watchtower Tract Society lol. It's fine. Anyone reading this has seen my opinion, and has seen that your attacks are either baseless, unorthodox, or are merely not directed at anyt…

"The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego." Daniel 1:7

By asking me to say orthodoxy is the ONLY means, I would be shunning any other apostolic church Suppose we take the "denominational" factor out of Orthodoxy. Operate under that assumption now.

The poem was actually pretty calm... so much so that it almost put me to sleep (no offense to CYC, Marina, or Marina Productions, Inc.). Poetry, like any other art, is an expression. Unless there are things dogmatically incorrect with it, you and I …

And another thing: Stavro's comment was that Orthodoxy is Christianity. We know that only Christianity is salvific! We also know that there is no such thing as "incorrect" Christianity. Any belief that is "incorrect" cannot be considered Christian,…

I think we are missing a component regarding Orthodox ethos. Orthodoxy is not in what is said, spoken or decided in councils, but is maintained through a life which follows these writings/laws and the spirit that comes with them. Without further del…

I really like this, theophilus! Does anyone have reservation? Marina, it would be awesome to have your valuable input in this! :) RO

Today, I wrote a blog entry that may explain how to love: Check this out. It may shed light on what it means for a christian to love, and how this love is not outside Christ, but is rather through him. RO

The problem is not in my, Andrew, or Orthodoxy having a problem with this show. The problem is found in others, who refuse to acknowledge the possibility that the opinions of others regarding the same TV show which they watch may be actual criticism…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=14150.msg162663#msg162663 date=1358155427] Pardon me, but I don't have any topic ideas. But skimming a few episodes, I do have some concerns. If you are open to hearing them, I can share. God bless the service. [/…

I found the video which Bibo was talking about to be quite interesting. If I may, I would like to take some time to analyze it. She begins by saying that she had a dream as a girl, which was based of St. Therese of Liseux. What I found most intere…
