Ramez is not saying the Chalcedonian Triasagion version is more authentic. He is merely stating the Non-Chalcedonian formula, as we have it today, seems to shift the subject from the Logos to the Trinity and (sometimes) back and forth. He also state…

[quote author=Severian link=topic=69.msg158372#msg158372 date=1343794685] OK, how about this, imikhail. Provide Patristic sources to prove your claims. One cannot be Orthodox without holding steadfast to the teachings of the Fathers. Can you cite an…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13549.msg158346#msg158346 date=1343765667] Then why are you taking the time to participate in such threads. Why not just worry about what is important to you? [/quote] So that people who read for edification, or pe…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=69.msg158337#msg158337 date=1343760318] I don't know. I haven't time to source the original Coptic texts. That wasn't really the point I was quoting these texts for. Don't forget that in formal English worship …

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=13549.msg158307#msg158307 date=1343694522] I'm sorry Christ_rose, but I don't think you see the dangers in accept him as a saint even though he did do good for Christ. [/quote] I'm not picking on you Joshuaa. I'm re…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13549.msg158060#msg158060 date=1343224232] That is exactly my point. Constantine should not be recited in any manner as a saint. [/quote] Obviously, you like to twist my conclusions. I'll make it simple. The Commem…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13549.msg158054#msg158054 date=1343212069] Mina, Any reference to Constantine, being a saint, is an error. We honor him as a promoter of Christianity but never as a saint in the context of asking his prayers or "in…

I'd like to point out that Raphael Tuki is Coptic Catholic, not Coptic Orthodox. If you look at the last page, right after he gives the verse about King Constantine, you'll notice on the left margin a note that says ausanswpi ka;oliky. This means "I…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13480.msg157962#msg157962 date=1342897801] But you can read about here: http://mb-soft.com/believe/txs/constant.htm "The council of Constantinople enacted four disciplinary canons: against the Arian heresy and its…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=13480.msg157906#msg157906 date=1342760394] heretics don't get rebaptized if they had originally been baptized on the Coptic orthodox faith, but if they had been baptized on the heretic faith, then that's not accepte…

Good presumption, but he was talking only in English so the Muslim cruise workers didn't overhear him speaking English. And he has a very minor English accent. He doesn't struggle speaking English like many other non-American Coptic priests do.

Thank you Fr Peter for the clarification. If I may, I have a few follow up questions. The Chalcedonian terminology is 'in two natures' and not 'out of two natures'. Sorry for the mix up. It just goes to show how delicate one word is and how it affec…

There are times when, in my opinion, it is perfectly appropriate not to wear the cassock and there is nothing irreverent in this. But I also believe that the cassock, beard, and cross can be an important means of representing and sharing our faith. …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=13535.msg157777#msg157777 date=1342524852] It rather depends entirely on what you mean by Chalcedon. Do you mean the council as a whole, the Doctrinal statement, the rejection of Eutychianism? Some of it is ac…

Maybe I'm missing something here. That picture shows pieces that fit like a puzzle and that would work if it is a facade. But it surely cannot support weight. Iconastases are heavy and bulky. They must have structural support from a framework to sup…

Technically speaking, all infirmities have chemical imbalances, even cancer. This is why pharmaceutical medicaments work. It's true that many diseases have a genetic component that predisposes a person to more frequent or more intense illnesses. Ho…

After speaking to the abbot, you'll need to speak to a lawyer or a financial adviser from FAFSA. It is my understanding that the only way out of student loans is death (with a death certificate). Even declaring Chapter 9 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy doe…

Here is St John Chrysostom's Homily 16 on St Paul's Letter to the Corinthians Basically, St John makes a strong argument that the saints - those who witness by living in purity (not those who are "accurate in hearing a case") - will judge the world…

Let's not forget our lonely Akhmimic dialect. From the Coptic Encyclopedia: "Akhmimic ads the alphabetic symbol |, the postpalatal spirant /x/ (or h, [x2] from the Egyptian or h); in P, the symbol for this is q." This is the same letter as the Boh…

Thank you Stavro for your comment. I will just comment by saying that the election of the pope is not a democracy. It should not be like the US Presidency election because the Holy Spirit does not directly decide the US President. Why should we em…

No I have not read the letter. I will ask around. I will admit I am probably not the best person to explain the Communal council. Hopefully, others can give better input. My understanding is that new members are chosen as needed. The pope is the p…

[quote author=Stavro link=topic=13419.msg156946#msg156946 date=1340151692] I agree Stavros. But I’m sure that if there is mass persecution in Egypt the rest of the world will interfere... I hope. The Prince of the World does not contradict himsel…
