[quote author=Altair91 link=topic=14306.msg163671#msg163671 date=1362621692] some would disagree that childbearing is punishment for women.[/quote] Sorry for the confusion. Let me clarify. 1. Childbearing (or birth) is not a punishment for sin. 2.…

Disagree with me or Genesis 3:!6? How exactly would they disagree? That heavy childbearing is not a punishment for women?

There are many deacons who are married. Regarding question #2, Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden fruit. No one ever explicitly says it was an apple. Second, the punishment is found in Genesis 3:16 "To the woman he said, “I will make your pains…

Technically speaking, you can't because linguistically the hymn is directed at a singular male saint. You would have to correct for female saints. On the other hand, if you look at the words of the hymn, ironically it doesn't apply to St Antony - e…

No responses? I think we can have a fruitful discussion now instead of a heated discussion that hijacks other threads later as this topic has in the past.
-
Is it appropriate to discuss this article by Fr Lawrence here or should we open a new thread? I think his article has some major flaws.

Mina, I have to look at some manuscripts. I don't have any particular history of the origin of this fraction. It is probably one of the only examples of a penial substitution/Anslem theology in the Coptic Church. It is a nice fraction but I have p…

Marina, For the record, what Irishpilgrim said is not correct. It is not scriptural. It is not patristic. It is not voice of the Coptic Orthodox Church. It is not the voice of Coptic Orthodox men. It is not the voice or anyone other than himself. P…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=14267.msg163520#msg163520 date=1361751097] [quote author=pharoh123 link=topic=14267.msg163519#msg163519 date=1361750131] What are you talking about? I agree completely with geomike. 2 young men were just severely mu…

[quote author=guy link=topic=14273.msg163413#msg163413 date=1361312019] I believe that Bishop David should become a diocesean bishop of New Jersey, and another bishop should be appointed for New York. Any thoughts. Also another bishop can take over …

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=14265.msg163405#msg163405 date=1361289593] While you focused on the sin aspect of the clergy, who are human, the point here is that the Holy Spirit isn't tied up to the limitations of humanity, which includes sin, ag…

No. He is saying the Holy Spirit works through the priest or bishop as a vessel but it doesn't have anything to do with the minister. One of the best ways this is illustrated in the story of the sinful priest. (I don't remember if the story is in th…

[quote author=guy link=topic=14273.msg163399#msg163399 date=1361257657] Yes, it will become a diocesess, ya suffrogan man. [/quote] I didn't make up the word suffragan. It's just English, not super powers. And is "diocesess" the female equivalent o…

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=14265.msg163391#msg163391 date=1361229257] I don't think you were being fair to irishpilgrim RO. I think irishpilgrim does have genuine concerns that our church in affected by a liberal attitude like the Roman Catho…

[quote author=guy link=topic=14273.msg163393#msg163393 date=1361231377] Most likely His Grace Bishop Micheal will be seated as the bishop of Virginia and Pensilvania. He has over 80% approval from a priest I spoke to. [/quote] This doesn't make sens…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=14265.msg163354#msg163354 date=1361121759] My point is this: Catholics believe that it was the Holy Spirit that had chosen this Pope. If it was, why did the Holy Spirit chose someone who would later renounce his Pap…

[quote author=Altair91 link=topic=14240.msg163306#msg163306 date=1360833634] I understand what you were trying to say, but your comparison is inaccurate. The US military and the US government is legally obligated to separate any religion from poli…

My mistake. After checking online and remembering my History of Christianity college course, I recall that papal infallibility was invoked only two times: once for the Assumption of St Mary doctrine and the other for the Immaculate conception of St …
-
Zoxsasi, While I will not defend the RCC doctrine of Papal infallibility as correct because it's not, I think we have to hear it from their point of view, not what we think is their point of view. There are certain specific conditions to be met in …
-
Joshuaa Yes the RCC has made mistakes with their theology. But the question was about the validity and spirituality of Pope Benedict's resignation. I think you agree with me that it's ok for him to resign and the Holy Spirit will choose a worthy sh…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=14265.msg163263#msg163263 date=1360641239] Has a Coptic Orthodox Pope ever resigned. [/quote] To the best of my knowledge, no Coptic Orthodox pope has ever resigned. However, when Pope John VII was elected in 1262, G…
-
I think we're blowing this out of proportion. Resignation does not mean running away or loosing his pontifical honor. It means he feels he has sufficient pain that it will impact his decisions. He's not Dwight Howard but we are treating Pope Benedic…

Zoxsasi In all fairness Altair doesn't own the Egyptian military, doesn't run the military, holds no military rank, probably does not approve of virginity tests whether he knew about it or not and whether it was performed by the military or the pol…

[quote author=pharoh123 link=topic=14240.msg163198#msg163198 date=1360276918] Unfortunately, you're trying to convince the wrong people. We are ready to accept that Islam is peaceful but Muslims have to prove it first by being peaceful people. You n…

Altair91, First welcome and thank you for taking the initiative to speak to us. I will try address some of your comments. [quote author=Altair91 link=topic=14240.msg163127#msg163127 date=1359902056] These verses were revealed only after a people or…

I'd like to point out that the link Ophadece provided for Moawad Daoud's dictionary is technically trilingual. He gives an English and Arabic translation for each Coptic word. However, his main translation language is Arabic and he gives most exampl…
