  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11899.msg142458#msg142458 date=1312288673] Whoever wrote that blog needs some serious education on the Oriental Church [/quote] I believe it's actually a part of a book.
  • Thanks for the source, George.
  • [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=11959.msg142438#msg142438 date=1312260711] [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11959.msg142294#msg142294 date=1312096550] Where can this quote from Origen be found? [/quote] http://www.amazon.com/Epistle-Heb…
  • I have already told you why this is bothering me. And NO I don't believe that the ending of Mark was an addition. That is nonsense. If you believe all these modern theories, what makes you so confident that Mark wrote the any of the Gospel? But th…
  • [quote author=Crazy4Christ1 link=topic=11960.msg142360#msg142360 date=1312169844] OFF TOPIC > something that has helped me with my pride was something that a friend said to me, i told him that i struggle with pride and in response he asked me whi…
  • I am just perplexed by how willing you are to disregard what the Church has taught us. And over what? A structure that isn't typical of Paul; some other people disagreed about it in the Early Church. . .is that really all it takes for us to cast asi…

  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142368#msg142368 date=1312171716] + Irini nem ehmot, If that is what you wish to believe, you are free to. I disagree. For the first 100 years of the church, there were no Gospels and all the Epistles had not…
  • Cephas, at the end of the day you have to keep in mind that in the early church, questioning whether the authorship of a particular text basically meant questioning its truthfulness. So it doesn't matter if some questioned who authored Hebrews, I kn…
  • Cephas, do you also believe that the ending of the Gospel of St. Mark was added by someone else?
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142344#msg142344 date=1312164700] + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11959.msg142342#msg142342 date=1312164432] [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142340#msg142340 date=1312163838] Wha…
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142340#msg142340 date=1312163838] What matters most to me is the message taught by these writings. That's all I care about. Authorship is nice, but is not vital to me. [/quote] Sure in the 21st century, when …
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142339#msg142339 date=1312162689] The Church has stated that St. Paul wrote Hebrews. That's cool. I personally don't think St. Paul wrote it. [/quote] And you see nothing wrong with this attitude?
  • [quote author=aiernovi link=topic=11958.msg142301#msg142301 date=1312126196] The orban can either be eaten or burned. [/quote] Really? Even if it is just the normal orban?
  • Record yourselves doing it, watch it, and I'm sure you'll be able to answer your question yourself.
  • [quote author=Kiro7 link=topic=11960.msg142333#msg142333 date=1312157757] I agree 100%. I suggest doing monthly deacon meetings, outlining the roles and authorities of a deacon. This might change the kids perspective on his role in church. But from …
  • [quote author=Kiro7 link=topic=11960.msg142330#msg142330 date=1312156902] I agree. But I would personally rather have our youth involved in the church rather than not coming at all and falling into sin outside of church? Is this correct? [/quote] W…
  • [quote author=Kiro7 link=topic=11960.msg142328#msg142328 date=1312156556] Whats wrong with kids being so actively involved in the church service? [/quote] Nothing. But feeling entitled to a service means that you are not performing a service and a…
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11959.msg142310#msg142310 date=1312146751] [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11959.msg142309#msg142309 date=1312146380] But in the end, whether Saint Paul wrote it or not...WHO CARES? Does the result make our rel…
  • Don't blame this kid. He is a kid, molded and shaped by his environment. Blame yourself. Always blame yourself.
  • There's a difference when addressing someone directly and when referring to them. I mean it would have been awkward or inappropriate for him to write, "Know ye that my son Timothy. . ." Cephas, why the enthusiasm to call this a sermon and discredi…
  • Don't worry about sounding proud or jealous. If your FoC feels that you are the problem and not the kid, then he will say so. But I really think someone needs to control this kid. Whenever a kid picks up the cymbals at my church I take it away from …
  • [quote author=Khas. link=topic=11958.msg142306#msg142306 date=1312145276] I have an old hobby of mine of burning Qorban every Sunday, after church. [/quote] I think a quote from Eminem is appropriate: "Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got s…
  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=9585.msg142286#msg142286 date=1312081694] [quote author=imikhail link=topic=9585.msg142277#msg142277 date=1312075838] Fr. Tadros' comments seem inconclusive, he presents a few quotes in support of the idea that S…
  • Middle-schoolers leading the liturgy!!!  :o But from what you wrote it seems that this kid has some gifts. Nurture him and help him develop. But you must also humble him since he is young. If he feels entitled in the service, his blessings disappea…
  • May God bless your journey. Hope NM treats you well!
  • Where can this quote from Origen be found?
  • I don't see what the problem is with throwing them away. . . Do you think everything ever printed for Church is still in existence? Do you think every orban ever baked has been eaten? Do you think every magazine is donated until it returns to its…
  • [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=11959.msg142284#msg142284 date=1312080344] This has been questioned since the 3rd century. [/quote] I would like to read that. . .provide some examples, please.
  • [quote author=Khas. link=topic=11917.msg142281#msg142281 date=1312079047] Dude, Canada is the beast, come here and we'll tax the crap out of you, and give you A1 services, including my service of protecting you. [/quote] What a sweet deal!
