Dyophseis is the teaching of the Eastern Orthodox Church that Christ has two distinct natures No. They are miaphysites. Too tired to back this up, but calling them diaphysite, is as wrong as them calling us monophysites. RO

Because we created in the image of God, so all humans are consider as sons of God If this is your reasoning, then it is not only fallen angels who cannot be called God's sons, but even Holy Angels, since they were not created in the image of God. Th…

I love the OB. I dont get to use it in church, but for personal prayers, I love it. It just flows lol RO

I did read your response, I missed the word "fallen." Ukhtate Then why would it say "gods" for fallen humans. My question is why you believe you know what the Holy Spirit would and wouldn't do. You already claim to speak for the Orthodox church wh…

Shere, There is a difference between Satan (being Lucifer fallen) and his angels (the demons, the sons of God.) I hope you are not, by contrasting Sons of God and Satan, to say that the evils are accounted for by saying Satan. Also, remember that …

Has anyone checked out Rem's research regarding this hymn? It was published at the back of Deacon Albeir Mikhail's glorification rite book. It may shed some light on the matter. ReturnOrthodoxy

Thank you very much for your sources Rem. I truly hope that no-one will attack your hard work as anything less than a dedicated offering to Orthodox understanding in love of God. If anyone has any disagreements, I am sure they can offer it in love…

God Bless you gpgm, Do not ever be thrown into despair because of your past actions. Follow up with a priest, and you'll be alright. May God prepare a future for you, with joy exceedingly above anything you could even ask for. ReturnOrthodoy

Suppose even for a second that it were possible to tell a person's intent from reading his eyes. What would that do to us? If I saw malice in your eyes, and turned from you, maybe I just left you in your sin. I could have been a friend, and averted …

I believe that it means that no-one can offer praise. This comes from the psalm 6:5. Not a memory of events, but a memory of praise to God. RO

Remnkemi is probably best able to answer this, but I believe that oringinaly, they were, but this prctice became rare, and eventually, removed. The deatails are probably with Rem RO

Fair enough: Let me try defining what I do not mean it as: I do NOT mean that all churches are imperfect and that no one church holds absolute truth. I believe that the Orthodox church holds this truth. I do NOT mean that we search for unity at a…

"His Christ" must surely be referring to the Father's Son (Christ)? In which case, the Anaphora's mode of address to the Father is upheld. If I say "His Christ," I am not addressing the Father, rather the people about the Father, or so it seems to m…

Thank you Ramez, This begs the question though, in the liturgy of St. Basil, why do the decons respond, "And your precious body/blood" "Nem Pe*K*esnof ettayot." Shouldn't it be, "And his precious blood?" I just realized that my initial post said t…
-
Hey tasgeel, I always thought that the liturgy of St. Basil is directed to the son, not the trinity. Not that I don't trust you, but do you mind finding me a source indicating that it is in fact directed to the trinity? Thanks in advance RO

Great English, Great post :D

Selection of a new pontiff + irishpilgrim = Freud/woman/patriarchal values. Constantine + irishpilgrim = Freud/woman/patriarchal values. Anything + irishpilgrim = Freud/woman/patriarchal values. Gets annoying. But I agree with Sherenemaria Retur…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13615.msg159568#msg159568 date=1346643589] You know what the problem is? You cannot just teach Orthodoxy without refuting the heresies that dominates the thought of Copts and specifying their origin. In doing so, y…

No matter how a Christian person is good or bad in theology, it would not affect his eternity. But I will tell you a fact that When the lord comes and asks that person to give an account for his stewardship, he should be terrified if he is always de…

So we can only pray that God may have mercy on us and that He may repose the souls of all our living Protodox clergy and servants in the Paradise of Joy in the bosom of Calvin, Luther and Zwilling where they can continue their ecumenical dialogues a…

I'm sorry, I cannot even fathom the stupidity it takes to call the Coptic church the only Orthodox church. Forget the EOs here for a second. What about the Ethiopians, the Eritreans, Armenians, Syriac, Malankara... What too much for your comfort? I…

e Holy Synod, by the Grace of God, will choose the three holy bishops or monks who will uphold the faith and dogma of the Coptic Orthodox Church. People make mistakes. We have discussed this before. Once you get out of your (baseless) view that evey…

It has to come from the top. It heavily depends on the next patriarch, his views, and what he is willing to do with many of the Bishops today who follow this sort of theology. ReturnOrthodoxy

I am suggesting that when the Fathers don't conflict with Sts. Athanasius, Cyril, etc. then we can certainly quote them. Remember, that these saints are mutually accepted, so even the Eastern church will agree with you. Still, when they do not contr…
