The video response is very simple. You question his churches legitimacy, as I did in my apology against the JW video. If he cannot trace his church back to Christ through the apostles then everything he said in that video lacks any kind of substance…

Servant33, jafarag, Pharoh123, what is most maddening about all of you is your inability to understand. Your willful ignorance of what we are saying. This man, like most other protestants, does not distinguish between the belief and the individual. …

Thank you everyone for this beautiful defense of the faith.
-
Pharoh, we project our faith for what it is, truth. I asked for examples of how we supposedly alienate people, you said that I am a perfect example? You have not even read one thing I have wrote because you continually say I am attacking people when…

crosslover, I hope you understand I was not trying to attack you or anything. It is a wonderful name in the Christian context, its just that unfortunately that is not what people would think of when they hear the name. Then again it could be good be…

pharoh, I feel like you are not reading anything anyone else is writing. We are not making fun of people or insulting anyone, we are merely pointing out that protestantISM, the belief, is inherently wrong. I would like to ask you, what exactly has p…

[quote author=pharoh123 link=topic=10823.msg131652#msg131652 date=1298728382] I am not saying that which they teach is true or false but they do a lot of the things that Christ asked his followers to do. I am not saying people should convert but it'…

In an age where any kind of information can be accessed in an instant, I find it sad that more people have not taken it upon themselves to know the truth. The blame lies on the person, not the church, not God, or anything else. People do not convert…

[quote author=crosslover link=topic=7440.msg131620#msg131620 date=1298672687] How is it pagan meaning ? :) - But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingd…

[quote author=anba bola link=topic=10823.msg131632#msg131632 date=1298684591] Guys if we can please discuss this calmly in a Christian manner, that would be great. I benefit alot from this site, but I lose that if it just becomes arguments and yelli…

No jfarag. Even as a former protestant I object to the notion that protestantism has "brought people to Christ". Nobody comes to Christ unless the Father wills it. (John 6:64) Protestantism brings nothing but confusion and the only thing it ever did…

[quote author=crosslover link=topic=7440.msg131603#msg131603 date=1298662379] fr girl : Karma - I like this so much :) it is arabic word mean (Vine) [/quote] It also has a pagan meaning and will most likely be misunderstood by every single person.
-
jfarag, that is an untrue and very unfounded statement. Can you prove that protestantism has brought people to Orthodoxy? As a convert myself I find this statement laughable. Protestantism is not Christianity in any way. You do realize the word prot…

I know many Ethiopians who sent their children to protestant schools, many of them converted and are against the church, others are completely confused. Protestantism is a cancer.

Why are copts more concerned with political ventures as opposed to defending their church against heresy? Do you think politicians are going to save you?
-
Believe me I complain all the time. I spend days upon days in the world, I want to cherish the time I spend in church, not rush through it. I have complained about the language, we still use a bit of coptic, which is mind boggling to me since nobody…

eluzai - hebrew for "God is my strength" used this one as my stage name as a musician Hippolytus - after St. Hippolytus of Rome who was actually Coptic, and criticized the "Popes" of the day for their errors. Wrote extensively and has probably some …

Zoxasi, yea there is plenty of time for personal prayer, in fact when serving in the altar when the deacon is not doing anything they should be in constant prayer. I am guessing this girl is going to a protestant church because it affords her things…
-
jfarag, unless we say something against the people themselves, be quiet. I cannot stand you and other protestants, or protestant sympathizers, constantly turning this into something its not. We are attacking the belief not the individual, get it thr…

Protestantism changes with the times, it adapts to suit the needs of the modern individual. I believe St. Paul warns us of these kinds of people who constantly change. In this case of course it is a belief system.
-
I truly hope so.

I will offer my support to your group as long as you remain strictly Orthodox. I dont want to sound mean, angry, or threatening but I will openly criticize and condemn anyone who claims to be Orthodox music and is not. I will check out the website w…
-
Protestantism is self gratification. I liken their "hymns" to audio pornography, all about pleasuring the self deluded individual as opposed to the sound and sober hymns of the Orthodox church.
-
TITL, people did not ever think FB could be used to oust Mubarak. The idea here is to bring like minded people together and discuss these issues. Hopefully others who are unaware of this growing problem will become more aware of it. Most people are …

Protestantism offers the believer to believe as they see fit. Do not like rules? Dont believe in them. Dont like a God that condemnes homosexuality? Make up your own god, that accepts it. Because Orthodoxy requires something of the believer people w…

there is no deadline. I am just trying to get a feel for exactly what is happening and where. Some of the clergy I have talked to outright deny that this is even happening. Some defend it by saying "its all the same, we are both Christian". So I wan…

Seriously?

Superman, Hindu songs are also spiritual songs. I want to know if these are heretical protestant songs recycled to appear Orthodox or are they actual Orthodox songs?
-
What kind of songs are sang?

Mina, your a joke.
