  • Mina, Remi, I was reading St Athanasious' Incarnation of the Word. It was I, at the very least, who pointed out that St Athanasios was saying that we are impermanent. Hence physical death is inevitable and part of the engineering of our nature; whet…
  • Hi Mina, My sincere unreserved apologies if you think I was being rude or for my sarcastic overtones in my posts. Not at all. Please don't be upset with me, Mina. My problem was that I've been trying my hardest to refute the theory of evolution, onl…
  • Fr Tadros Malaty has a version, but its in Arabic. I met him once. Absolutely awesome man. So kind. He gave me like 10 books free of charge. Just threw them at me. I'm sad the story of Job is for sale. It should be free
  • Hi Mina, OK.Let's start with some framework.  I was born Coptic Orthodox in a Coptic Orthodox environment. I go to Church often. I was taught that God created man. I was taught that man was created in incorruption. It means he was created different …
  • "Mina, Why are you interested in attacking Berlinski?? He's making an educated, a solid argument against Evolutionary theorists. What are you saying???What are you doing? You need to go and confess asap! lol"Professing an objection against someone e…
  • Hi Remnkemi, I'm glad someone is seeing the light here. Can someone tell me how on earth does one reconcile the Orthodox faith : that God created man in incorruption with the evolutionary term view: "Man wasn't even created - he evolved from a speci…
  • Nicene or post nicene fathers. St Athanasios is fine.
  • Who said St Thanos is bad? Mina - can you give me a link to a PDF of that?Cheers
  • Our relationship with God is a romantic story of love. The church does not put romantic love 2nd to marriage of convenience. The commandment of the husband is to love his wife like Christ loved the church. That is true love and that is the only exis…
  • Hi Amoussa01, Thank you for being smart enough to bring the Incarnation of the Word to our attention in this discussion. Why can't we discuss things in a civilised, non antagonistic manner - I'm happy to be corrected; but I feel many priests need to…
  • Easy CopticDeacon, I appreciate the response and elaboration , but I'm not at all impressed by the judgement going on!!  As for the world being created in 6 days, I've never even believed that it was ever a 24x6 hour event. I always understood this …
  • Hi, I just wanted to say that I am sorry you have to go through this. Unfortunately pain is inevitable. And who know, this may be your only chance for love. (I am also female, similar age) To love is to sacrifice. To love God...(I'll let you decid…
  • There are NO serious theological implications? How can you say that?So God created a simple cell, he waits a few billion years until it evolves into a man. He then breathes His Spirit into man? So when He told them to be fruitful and multiply - how …
  • Mina,The evidence against evolution is also compelling. Look, microevolution is not being disputed. We are talking about macro-evolution. I.e. that species can evolve into different species. So - what you are saying is this: God created an ape from …
  • You agree with Evolution of Man? I.e. we evolved from a cell that was the result of some crazy explosion? Have you seen the scientific evidence against this? If God didn't create man, it means that man wasn't created in incorruption . It means he wa…
  • What's wrong with you Mina? Do you think I'm interested in the scientific proof of evolution??  I don't believe we evolved from a simple cell and just mutated until we became humans. 
  • Mina, Helen Here: This solves your problems. I'll write more later. I beg every Church servant to read this.  Forget Creation Science!! This is useless. Answer science with science.  Dr Berlinski isn't even a Christian.
  • Tracy:  I thought of you today. We had this entire catholic family in our church today who were totally disgruntled with the Catholic Church, for the same reasons as you. Theophilus, R. Zacharias is a Dr in Philosophy and a Christian apologist. I hi…
  • Mabsoota, Dawkins and other evolutionary protagonists are claiming, in the name of Science, that God cannot be true because evolutionary science proves that man wasn't created.  The videos i've seen so far from Creation Scientists seem to show, unle…
  • Well OK... but what about his comment?
  • Dear Justpraybro, I highly recommend you pray and ask God to reveal to you if this is a good decision.  Most priests would tell you to avoid this sort of relationship because they're not going to :a) baptise anyone for the sake of marriageb) allow y…
  • It says He created Mankind in His image and likeness BEFORE he had actually created Adam.What does that mean?

  • What was so bad about the tree anyway? What was so evil about a Tree? But ultimately, I'd like to know why He created Mankind in His likeness and Image, and THEN He created Adam. How could that be?

  • GOD FORGIVE YOU MINA! The new forum software is awful. Really awful. I just created a thread, and it doesn't even allow me to paste what I want. I have to split up my text and post it in several consecutive posts because of the limitation it has. An…
  • QUESTIONs: a) God created Mankind in His own image, before He had actually created Adam and Eve: What does that mean? b) God then creates Adam & Eve. They were also created in God's image no doubt, but what's the difference between the image th…

  •  Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the grou…

  • Then in Genesis Chap 2: God actually creates Man:  Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from …

  • So God created mankind in his own image,    in the image of God he created them;    male and female he created them.28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the se…

  • God created mankind before He had created man (Adam): Genesis Chap 1: 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild …

  • Tracy Any birth control method is allowed that simply prevents an embryo from developing. Once the embryo is formed, even if it is for 1 second, you cannot harm this. The church doesn't subscribe to modern evolutionary theory. The best defense of…
