If you are correct, you are correct. It is simple. If you want to convince someone he is incorrect, use reasoning, not emotion to play ad hominem. Therefore, every suggestion that comes along, he harshly declines, and continuously attempts to fin…

He was an actual priest in the Coptic church. There are too many pictures for me to pass over them. He is a Max Michelle in the fact that he betrayed the church, but he is otherwise unrelated.

It seems that fro the start he was crazy. He was adventist/methodist/evangelical. How is it that he was so quickly accepted in Orthodox priesthood? Now he even has respect for the LDS "church." ReturnOrthodoxy

Anytime, brother. I am sure that you will rise victorious through the prayers of the Theotokos and all the saints. A blessed sleep ReturnOrthodoxy

Geomike, First, I'm not good with advise, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I am not at all experienced in the spiritual life, nor am I well acquainted with the spiritual way, but what I have read, I can offer to you, knowing that yo…

LOL, Metouro. There are many good people on this site who would be of amazing help to you. I find it very funny, though, that you often ask some of the most complex theological questions. I comend you on your interest. Good luck with your search(e…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=13385.msg156575#msg156575 date=1339381439] RO, All jokes aside. That is what I did. Those are the exercises my priest gave me, even at the age of eight years old. He also played ping pong with us and ate dry…

Sit them down, and have them take notes on theological matters, and ask them to write peer reviewed scholarly articles. Then, get them to pray all the hours of the Agpeya, and weave palm leaves. It helps if you can employ a dump-truck full of sand. …

LOL, ChristRules, I was hoping that this would just be something to start off on. There are many sources there, and this may also give you insight as to how the canons can be interpreted. There are differing views on the meaning of the canons, and t…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13346.msg156223#msg156223 date=1338402374] What you're question really asks is "Does God have a reason for the Creation?". This philosophical question has been asked thousands of times. There are many answers. Most …

The homosexuals I'm talking about are not seeking help but instead seek the demise of the church for the comfort of their own conscience. We won't let them demise it. But the best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend. So to get the to st…

I do respect them however they are pushing for rights that say there life style is normal. Homosexual acts are not normal. That is not up for debate. I am just saying that we have to be loving of people struggling with this. Even if they are not st…

No, if they refuse, we lovingly keep the door of repentance and attraction to the faith. We need to encourage this. They need to feel loved and accepted, and be brought to repentance in love. This, obviously, does not stop us from constantly remindi…

The torment of homosexuals is as big a sin as homosexual acts. These people are tormented with this problem which many of them which they did not have. It is sinful to be insensitive of it. I have a coptic friend who, just a few months ago, opened u…
