[quote author=solidman link=topic=14150.msg162779#msg162779 date=1358329203] But I didn't say we should embrace the culture with all its defects. I said we should baptize it. We have to make it holy, take the good, eradicate the bad. Like Christ, we…

Remnkemi, I think Archdeacon meant a Greek epsilon (the short 'e') - we call it an 'ee' in the Greco-Bohairic Coptic alphabet, but the letter's Greek name is epsilon. The letter you're thinking of (which represents a 'v/w' sound) is the Greek Upsilo…

"On the other hand, and lest we should ever be drawn away by the greatness of the works wrought to imagine that the Lord is without beginning, what saith the Self-Existent? “I live through the Father," and the power of God; “The Son hath power to do…

LOVE THEM. Show them that you care about them. They've been judged enough already.

Hey Zoxasi! [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=13432.msg157014#msg157014 date=1340453048] During the liturgy, the priest still says "THIS is the Body of Christ - that He took from Our Lady and Queen of us all, Saint Mary and United it with His Divini…

Hmm. Interesting. I mostly agree I think, (i.e. that Christ's divinity didn't suffer). But the way I understand it currently, Christ has united His Divinity with both His human spirit AND His human flesh. In the Eucharist, through the physical act o…

Are you at St. Mark's by any chance Marina? Just curious.

Apologies, I misread the section numbers - that quote is from Book VI, Section 5, Point XXVIII - 'Of Some Jewish and Gentile Observances'. It can be read here: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/07156.htm XC is risen

The Apostolic Constitutions, Book VI, Sec. V, XXVII - 'Of some Jewish and Gentile observances' "Now if any persons keep to the Jewish customs and observances concerning the natural emission and nocturnal pollutions, and the lawful conjugal acts, let…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=10808.msg145277#msg145277 date=1317114413] The correct statement is: ]triac ETjyk ebol. The words jyk ebol here come as a descriptive, not as another noun (pretty much like an adjective), and do convert from just a…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=12484.msg146774#msg146774 date=1319778694] Please post your findings after you complete your research. [/quote] And also, if you know of any other similar studies I would be MASSIVELY interested. In Christ, Sam

Haha I don't think so ... but then again I think she might have adopted a bit of an American accent for her singing voice. A lot of non-Americans seem to do that :)

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12337.msg144805#msg144805 date=1316181012] This woman, that Jesus forgave in Simon's house did recognize that she was a sinner. What we are talking about regarding excommunication is for those who do not recognize…

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=12337.msg144782#msg144782 date=1316122730] I think about Jesus throwing out the money lenders out of the temple because it was a holy place and the money lenders understood it was a holy place. So I guess in fairnes…

"Shelter the sinner if it brings you no harm. Through this you will encourage him toward repentance and reform — and attract the Lord’s mercy to yourself." "Do not annoy or hate anyone – neither for faith, nor for his evil deeds… If you want to co…

refernobi is sinner. (ref = one who does a certain action - like 'er' in English: runner, fighter sinner etc. + ernobi = the verb 'to sin'). I'd make a couple of adjustments to the above: W pa[oic Iycouc p,c `psyri `m`vnou] nai nyi ourefernobi

Just some food for though, this is a brilliant, but fairly wordy article by an Orthodox theologian on the problem of evil. http://davidbhart.blogspot.com/2006/03/david-b-harts-tremors-of-doubt.html He goes into it in much more detail here: http://…

I don't think that we are called on to believe that God exists based purely on faith; as St. Peter said, "... always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." (1 Peter 3:15) Ma…

The reason is, as I understand it, to celebrate the passage of the Good News into all the nations of the world.

Why? We have the English words on the screen and we've announced to the congregation why we're doing it. Furthermore we're focusing on languages which are represented in some way in the congregation. Its a beautiful way to celebrate the fact that Ch…

Psychology is still a very important discipline regardless of what anyone thinks about it. Mental diseases are potentially just as damaging as physical ones - and you can do a lot good as a clinical psychologist/psychiatrist. God bless
