[quote] I sincerely hope you stop advocating claims and teachings contrary to our ecumenical councils. [quote] What claims are you referring to that are contrary to the Ecumenical Councils. Do not bring the so called canon 7 of Constantinople. As…

So you're saying the Coptic Orthodox Commemoration of the Saints, sung during the Midnight Psalmody that specifically includes King Constantine and his mother, is wrong? Either he is a saint in the Coptic Church or the Coptic Church includes hereti…

I have already addressed Canon 7 of Constantinople. It is a forgery, not accepted by our Church, and has nothing to do with the Ecumenical Council.

There are allusions in the writing of Hypolytos. Ancient churches dating back to the 4th century have this architecture. Middle ages ritual manuscripts giving instructions allude to these rooms.

Heretics who were baptized by heretic clergy have a valid baptism if they were baptized in the name of the Trinity as Jesus Christ claimed in Matthew 28:19. This is absolutely not correct and utter nonesense. If this is true, then we elevate the…

There are many saints within the OO Curch who have excellent writings on the Spiritual life. Examples include, St Macarius, St Anthony, st philoxenus, St Pachomius, ... I'd advise to read for those canonized saints before going outside.
