Of all the billions of starving and dying people. People in war torn countries suffering massive persecutions. The daughters that are being abused and sold into slavery, you want me to pray for a worldly SAT score?

[quote author=bigeee link=topic=11491.msg138403#msg138403 date=1306110791] i have become an atheist from the hatred from the talking about me behind my back from people telling others to stay away from me just cause i use to be muslim i am so hurt…

While I do not discourage dialogue between us, I certainly do not support unity. Could it be possible that one day the RCC reverts back to Orthodoxy, sure, I would support that. Either way, dialogue is certainly good.

My EO friend and I are working on a book detailing why there needs to be unity. In essence we are one church, there is no actual schism other than in the minds of men. We cannot discount what our church fathers said and believed. We adhered to the C…

The schism between Eastern and Oriental is a sin. Unity is the only logical solution.

This is the punishment you get when you turn your back against your own people and run to your slave master. Even the word Eritrea is what their oppressors referred to them and that area. No offense but seriously, lets get real. I feel bad for the c…

I tell ya, if I came from an Egyptian home I probably would feel the same way. Being that I have psych problems I think I can understand things like this. Trust me, suicide is not very cool, I have seen it AND I have seen botched attempts where a du…

In the time of Christ existed many sects of Judaism (similar to todays protestant denominations). These sects all had different views or teachings about the messiah. Every one of them believed that Christ would be a worldly king that would free them…

geomike, as one who does study eschatology and the book of the Apocalypse, I side with Abouna Peter very strongly on this. Many heresies in the early church have sprung from a misinterpretation of this book. We should be cautious in reading any scri…

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11375.msg137875#msg137875 date=1305352712] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=11375.msg137854#msg137854 date=1305331262] It seems that many, not all, of our women have more in common with a street whore than with our…

Khas, usually people say that when they know they are wrong. They have to find something to make others look bad instead of defending their position.

[quote author=henrik.hank link=topic=11428.msg137890#msg137890 date=1305383323] is the problem muslims or arabic muslims according to you? and what about Sufism followers, are they nice people? [/quote] Hey, quit equating the people with the belief…

Khas, I would GLADLY tell the muslim world they are following a mentally deranged man, not a prophet.

The Koran IS to be interpreted literally. It is not like actual scripture having a deeper meaning. Mohammed was not intelligent enough to accomplish that, he was a maniacal, epilleptic, pedophile, with delusions of granduer. I really tried being nic…

We also must remember that God allows these things to happen. More often than not to create a climate of repentance in order that we draw closer to Him. I think we should look at ourselves as a whole, examine ourselves if you will.

Whats wrong with the Koran? How about the Koran AND the Hadith? Qur'an:9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah's Cause." Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever yo…

[quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=11375.msg137813#msg137813 date=1305259080] If it's alright, I have a question on a somewhat related note and from skimming through the 13 pages of this thread it doesn't seem like it's been addressed. In 1 …

Some muslims are evil, for example Mohammed. But in reality we need to make the distinction between the individual and the religion. I hate islam, I have no respect for islam, to me islam is clearly a cancer. But I am speaking of the religion itself…

I contribute nothing to this site. What is really sad, most of the things I say or from the church fathers. Nobody seems to know that either I am quoting them directly or taking from what they have said, I am then being condemned for saying them. Sh…

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11414.msg137734#msg137734 date=1305099468] Good for you man. Just out of curiosity - do you have an editor? [/quote] I had an editor, but she is very busy with her work. So we have a peer-review-type system in whi…

To be honest, I am trying to work on my salvation and that of my family. I realized that it is a waste to have vain and petty disputes with children who only like to hear themselves talk and couldn't take advice if they were paid, in fact many of th…

This is getting to be absurd. Unworthy1 has fallen into this semantics mindset. Leader, teacher, or whatever, what St Paul is speaking of is within the church, as in the priesthood. Nobody becomes ordained to teach sunday school. The ante-nicene a…

Therapists - The - Rapists. They are fairly useless and you have no idea what kind of moral values they have, stay away. As for Psychiatrists, they too can be frustrating at times but are needed. I find that many of the Egyptians in church are ver…

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11375.msg137275#msg137275 date=1304483347] Well put, thank you for the thoughtful replies. What I want to get at is how we reconcile the seeming contradiction. On the one hand (as shown in my original post), women…

The first letter to Timothy describes the requirements of a man who wants to be a bishop,presbyter, or deacon. No mention of women being ordained is mentioned. In both of St Paul's letters to Timothy he says pretty clear that women are not to hold a…
