Is St. Isaac of Syria (Ninevah) a Saint in our Church?
Surely our Oriental Orthodox communion believes in his Sainthood, despite the fact that he was most probably baptized by a Nestorian Priest and was a member of the Assyrian Church of the East. …

The evidence is very clear from the three ecumenical Councils our Church believes in. That is excommunication of the heretics.
We know for a fact, from history, that Constantine was baptized Aryan and he held Aryan belief. He falls under the Church…

This thread was written to show the differences between Catholics Copts.
I believe the last discussion regarding the Assumption of St. Mary's body clearly showed another difference between the COC and the Catholics.

I will keep repeating this, the Church never recognized this forged sermon. The whole argument about St. Mary's resurrection is based on this sermon.
The Scriptures are against this.

I am not offended at all.
However, I am baffled that you ignore the Scriptures, the liturgical prayers and readings of the Church, the lack of any patristic tradition on the issue.
Yet you hold on to a sermon that is not used in the Church. You c…
