[quote author= Bishop Boulos El Bushi]Then He said the greatest thing when He made the statement, "Just as the living Father sent me, and I have life on account of the Father, so too whoever eats Me lives on account of Me." (John 6:57). He did not …

irishpilgrim, Pick up a book. No-one cares for "your feel." While everyone has put up reason for believing in theosis, and have portrayed patristic evidence, you have not. What you have given is another dim-witted excuse for reason. An EO inventio…

This is directed to those Copts who believe in theosis. A Coptic atheist might not believe in it. Any Orthodox Christian, even the Roman catholics, and some protestants, believe in Theosis. It isn't really optional LOL. Its like asking for a Christi…

:o We kinda hoped you would be trying to be funny. Pope Tawadros has no right to change the commandment of the church for centuries. Thankfully, I don't think he wants to. RO

Thank you very much, Andrew, Rem, and ChildofOrthodoxy. This is an excellent analysis, which I will present to our priests, and deacons, asking them to consider. Please pray for me as the head priest in our church is a huge fan of that hymn. I'll …

Mabsoota, You can also assume that he is not "fatherbishoykamel" because Fr. Bishoy dies about 20 some years ago LOL. Ray

imikhail, Why you would resort to the view of the athonite monks against ecumenism to show why ecumenism is Rem's ecumenist views are false is beyond me, seeing as they are EO and the most adamant of them. If as you say, they are in schism from Or…

Qibad, I feel you bro! Doubt is the most painful experience. It is struly crippling, and so, I can sympathize with you. It gets better. Just pray, and pray a little more. When you're done praying, try praying a little more. Pray, and I will pray…

For some comedy, I'd like to add what my church does year round (Easter, Christmas, Annual etc.) After Psalm 150, we have a wonderful array of: + O Pilgrim + How Lovely +O tell me John + My Coptic Church + The battle belongs to the Lord +You are m…

We are having a problem with the family cat. My cousin went to church for the first time last week, he took communion but didnt swallow. He brought it home with him and fed it to the cat. Now the cat has been acting crazy. My cousin tried to smoke a…

Lol, Joker is a good name for you. Let me try to point out your logic. Your argument (a logically invalid one): 1) If A, then B 2) B 3) Therefor A You say: 1) All who want a warm fuzzy feeling are fools 2) I am a fool 3) I want a warm fuzzy fee…

Thank you, Irishpilgrim, Thank you for understanding and letting go of the past. Hopefully, we can begin a new page, and if we disagree, may we be able to do this with cordiality, love, and no name calling. I'm not sure that many would want a wa…

Agape, Irishpilgrim, I hope that I can speak without coming across as antagonizing or any less Orthodox than you. If I do, forgive me, and offer me rebuke. I would certainly agree with you that the over-ecumenism of some of the "modernists" can b…

[quote author=Pi Onkh link=topic=13858.msg161133#msg161133 date=1352765673] It is possible it will serve as a reminder to the new pope that he was,and always will be monk and to try always to remain humble and ascetic at all times.I don't think it i…

Pope Shenouda and Pope Kyrollos bore the Schema (Eskeem) because they both lived as solitaires before joining the episcopacy, and as such, they were given the Schema in order to practice its canons. I see no purpose in giving the Patriarch this bles…

Stavro, You also have my utmost respect. To complete this, Stavro is one of the most Orthodox men I know. I certainly disagree on the are of ecumenism, but him and I are, as was said of Gregory and Basil, one spirit in two bodies. Your points are …

Thank you very much Copticandproud, and Mina6462! It was a good read, though I do have many questions for Abouna. Regardless, the man is a spiritual giant, and certainly an experience spiritual guide. RO

While Origen may not be a "doctor of the church" it would be foolish to deny that he is certainly a church doctor, along with Clement, setting the scene for rational Christian philosophy. So strong was Origen's ability to bring rationality to Christ…

But what exactly are we going to communally repent from? I agree that we all need repentance, but communal repentance=communal sin. Thanks for trying, though, Mabsoota! I appreciate the effort greatly! Pray for me! RO

Anybody have a translation?

Father Tadros Malaty issued this letter. Would anyone care to translate or summarize? It would be much appreciated by the native English speakers. RO
