Well of course he does ;D I am what you call, "Athanasius Re-incarnate!" (Of course, minus the genius, the boldness, the spirituality, the faith, the wisdom, the love, the Orthodoxy.... Ok, I'm nothing like him :'() haha RO

Ramez, As I understand it (mind you, I am nothing of a "Canonist") the Coptic Church does not really have a set of canons that we can call authoritative. most rules are word of mouth and are obeyed as best as the synod sees it. The authoritatice ca…

LOL. Well, I hope that it was just an exception. God knows the storm that would result if we started canonizing people early. On another note, we have a church in my area named the "Church of St. Mina and Pope Kyrollos the pillar of faith." Of cours…

summary dude? haha

“The word is true. The promise holds strong. The Church is invincible, even if hell itself was moved and the ruler of darkness summoned turmoil” (St. Athanasius).

Someone remind me to reply to Rem tomorrow when I'm awake. I think all your points are sincere, but that when taken through a closer look do not hold much water. It centers around Dionysius' faulty reasoning in his cannon. His reasoning is a complet…

Pope Kyrollos 6th called both this and the practice of restricting men from communing after wet dreams a gnostic practice. The didiscalia says, "For if thou think, O woman, that in the seven days of thy flux thou art void of the Holy Spirit; if th…

Anathema! Anathema! Anathema! IS OUTRAGE! LOL In my opinion monks should grow their beard, whereas priests may trim and even shave (istaghfur Allah.) RO

Go read Sam Harris, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawkings, Stephen Pinker! Ummm, no.

or congratulate those who are vocal for abdication from the Church. Is this the example we find in Christ? No. If my physical son or father did the most heinous crime or abomination, he is still my son or father. I neither have the right to disown m…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=10538.msg164799#msg164799 date=1369508407] RO knows how much I respect his opinion. But I have to say that while everything he said in the video makes sense, it is flawed because it speaks in generalizations. He did…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=10538.msg164767#msg164767 date=1369298115] I just have to put this out there...am I the only one who thinks that the antagonist in RO's video sounds like HG Bishop Youssef?? Extreme Opinions [/quote] Loooool. Might …

I;m not graduated yet, but I have some things to say which you can take or leave. But I will allow you to make the decision whether you want to hear it or not. God Bless you, Ray

Thanks Andrew. God be with you in whatever service you find yourself called to. Ray

Agape, Andrew, I'm feeling a little bit of distaste from your side, but that is fine, and I hope you find a way to let that go. We can stop the discussion as you want, and I won't consider it an escape. I think there are no peripherals. I use scri…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=10538.msg164711#msg164711 date=1369160207] As long as the liturgy remains uncompromised, I don't see why you need to leave. And I don't think it will better the situation. Perhaps you may find peace, but if you feel…

Hey Zoxasi, TRUST ME if there was a BOC in the area, I'd go to an accent coach, get a british accent faster then you can say "Cherio!" But alas, the BOC is only in B lol. Thanks for the support, and indeed, there is difficulties which we all fac…

Same video. I am trying different Coptic churches but I'm finding uniformity in the wrong. If I have to leave, I will though that is not my desire. After speaking with my Bishop, I can see that nothing in our diocese will be changing and that there …

I recenty started becoming a little more vocal regarding some of the things in our church, writing to the priests and bishops, speaking to them and asking them questions. I began writing some things for the youth, and I produced a video in response …

Welcome, Agape!!! Of course you are most welcomed to this community! We are blessed to have you here, and we are sure that we here will also learn a lot from you. There is but one church, and since you are a faithful member of the Armenian Apostoli…

Oh, and for the fun of it, if you will recall the 5 points I said are present in each and every single one of IPs posts, I would like to have a little fun by showing you that I am totally correct. Check this out. I will apply the 5 points to his pas…

Now that we got that out of the way, we should probably move forward. We should continue to discuss the issue of pre-sanctified gifts because we wouldn't want women taking over the world in spaceships! God knows that is an imminent possibility IP. A…

I don't recall the reason that Coptic Vespers and Praises are not prayed on weekdays. There is indeed no prayers of vespers on weekdays. Vespers prayers (during the great lent) are reserved for Sunday Liturgy (so the vespers service would be Satur…

^ :) ^ My friend, the prodigal son, you have come to your senses and realized that you want to return! Thank God that you are not in the state of spiritual numbness that many (like myself) are in. The pain you feel, I wish God would give it to me. …

For some reason I can't find it lol. I merely remembered reading it somewhere so I looked up the complete quote lol.

Agape, Theophilus! [quote author=Athanasius the Apostolic] In accordance with the Apostolic Faith delivered to us by tradition from the Fathers, I have delivered the tradition, without inventing anything extraneous to it. What I have learned, that …
