[quote author=Theophilus 1 link=topic=14334.msg163905#msg163905 date=1363865151] Frustration and anger can take our focus form the greatness of God to the greatness of the problem we face. God gives us each a cross to carry so that we can learn thro…

Thanks Mina, I will try and learn more about the reason we were against this council. My frustration is still merited - but its not only against the Coptic Church or the EO's. The COC is primarily innocent in this. Its against the Catholics most …

[quote author=Servos link=topic=14334.msg163894#msg163894 date=1363785693] We must have in mind that we are separated for 1.500 years. It can not be done at once. It is a process. Thanks God, our two patriarchs are good friends and I'm sure they w…

Of for goodness sake, just read this. http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/ea_mono.aspx He's put us under monophysites and despite loads of Copts telling him we are NOT mono, he still insists on it. I get the same drivel from other EO people: "You c…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14334.msg163884#msg163884 date=1363763621] Dear Zoxsasi, You are saying "What a mess". What is the purpose behind this statement? Are you blaming someone(s) for creating this "mess", and, if so, who? Are you blaming…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14334.msg163877#msg163877 date=1363738306] Did you go to the Russian Church in Strasbourg? [/quote] Hi Mina, There is a coptic church in strasbourg that is still 3 hours away from us, but i'd have gone if the p…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=14334.msg163852#msg163852 date=1363704416] Zoxsasi, It seems that unity between the OO & EO wouldn't solve your problem anyway -- since the "opera" style worship is too great a turn-off for you. Unfortunately, …

[quote author=ShareTheLord link=topic=14334.msg163850#msg163850 date=1363696052] Zoxsasi, No offense intended, mind I ask you why you live somewhere where there is no Coptic Church (or at least Oriental Orthodox)? It has always been my personal opi…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14334.msg163841#msg163841] If you cannot see how arrogant this sounds, then you need to learn a bit of etiquette. You make it sound like even if we unite, the liturgical traditions will be a problem. But if you…

[quote author=Orthodoxy link=topic=14334.msg163838#msg163838 date=1363648663] Zoxasi, don't be distressed. There are many believers over the ages, who in many regions felt despair, who felt they were on the wrong side of things, without churches, co…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14334.msg163841#msg163841[/quote] If it's God's will, we will unite. Don't waste your time worrying about it. You can't force union on churches that don't desire it. [/quote] Thank you so much Mina Siliman f…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14334.msg163828#msg163828 date=1363606948] I'm having difficulty understanding what your problem is exactly. Why are you do fed up? This isn't something new. You didn't know that we are not in communion with Gr…

What can we do to stop being heretical? I'm fed up. I didn't know that being Coptic Orthodox would even make me an outcast amongst other Orthodox Christians.. To answer your question, I live in the middle of nowhere - so there's no Armenian/Eritr…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14292.msg163578#msg163578 date=1362042791] Dear Zoxasi, Your English is more than above average. I understand that you are saying that IF there is no true OO fellowship, then the only place you have to go is other tru…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14292.msg163576#msg163576 date=1362032291] Dear Zoxasi, I think you ought to be careful because some people may take your message the wrong way. If you live in places like New Jersey, or Toronto, or Los Angeles, or Sy…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=14267.msg163571#msg163571 date=1362024602] [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=14267.msg163554#msg163554 date=1361960062] A warning: if I see another response towards ANYTHING else other than this crime, I will dele…

The main thing is to seek Christian fellowship. What if you met someone who liked you, and became your friend, but he/she was a drug addict? What good would that friendship be? or if they were a bad influence on you? You'd not only find yourself al…

[quote author=athanasius piapostolikos link=topic=14292.msg163531#msg163531 date=1361834929] Hi everyone. I am going through a rough period of loneliness right now. I never really had many friends for most of my life (I'm 19) so I am used to the f…

[quote author=Athanasius1 link=topic=14267.msg163467#msg163467 date=1361516050] Thanks geomike, I 100% agree. Purity2, take it easy. If you go back and re-read my post, you'll notice I never disregarded or went against the importance of the female h…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=14267.msg163460#msg163460 date=1361497675] So two young men in their twenties were shot and killed and then their bodies were severely mutilated and you have the audacity right now to ask why the womens' heads aren't…

was the guy who killed those 2 men (and behaded them) mentally ill? Did they find out yet why he did this? Its ironic that Egyptians seem to leave Egypt to escape persecution and find themselves persecuted unwittingly by other Coptic Christians out…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14265.msg163347#msg163347 date=1361083245] Hey IP, I wonder what you think of Isaac the Syrian who retired from being Bishop of Nneveh? In the Orthodox Church, we have St. Theophan the Recluse who retired f…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14265.msg163270#msg163270 date=1360679934] Spiritually speaking, would you rather have a pope that may be physically and mentally disable potentially making bad decisions or a father who is resting in a monastery w…
-
Thanks for your responses, but the crux of my question/post was this: what does it mean? What does it mean spiritually/ecclesiologically for a pope to retire?? What is that saying in spiritual terms? Is it wrong for Popes to grow old? No. It mean…

Hi Altair, If you are not aware, the military police or I think it was just the police in general, performed virginity tests on female protesters. They carried out these tests on many muslim women to see whether they were virgins or not. http://ww…

[quote author=Altair91 link=topic=14240.msg163199#msg163199 date=1360278163] And you are right muslims should be more pro-active and actually start following their religion. [/quote] They are: these are called Salafists! And apparently, you are sca…

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=14240.msg163163#msg163163 date=1360027738] I think the question is about, should the church have a greater social reponsiblity in regards to the way women dress? No I don't, but I think our approach is differen…

[quote author=Boricua_Orthodox link=topic=13780.msg162642#msg162642 date=1358110234] Limbo (not the dance...lol) was never officially RC dogma. It was a theological opinion about the destiny of deceased infants. Purgatory is official RC dogma. I am …
