Fr.Peter, It seems as if our protestant friends here are posting without reading anything prior to their post. I tried desperately in my last post to show that while the language between individual and belief often times gets mixed up, it is alright…

Copticboy, you must stop equating the person with the belief. When we stand against protestantism, we are not condemning the people. Therefore, I am posting a letter that I have written to address this very issue. Please read and understand the diff…

[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=10598.msg129561#msg129561 date=1296767709] i would like to ask people not to use the term 'sub-Christianity' for protestant belief. it's a bit harsh when many of them are very sincere. [/quote] Do not confuse the b…

Look, just because someone invents their own religion does not make it right. In fact scripturally this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Everything protestantism stands for is completely opposite everything Christ established!

I think it was a mistake for the church to take any stance. If there is a transition to a new government this could perhaps linger in their mind and they may view us as pro-mubarak, and therefore an enemy. I think it would have been better to take a…

Hey me too. Actually mine just hurts all the time and I have no idea whats wrong. I am sure youll be ok brother.

I do not think it is a sin, but it can be dangerous. If one is unsure of his or her faith, these kind of classes can really mess your head up, I have personally seen this with many people. I actually enjoy reading books by atheists, evolutionists, a…

Zoxasi, no offense but nobody has any idea how to handle freedom. Across the board people of every nation abuse freedom and democracy. All is vanity my friend.

thanks!

Remember what happened to Arius? Remember what happened to Korah (Num 16)? God does not tolerate heresy.

Justin Martyr is a great defender of the church there is no doubt about that.

[quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=10594.msg129192#msg129192 date=1296538960] From what I've heard the Early Church was much more tolerant of diverse views than it is now. Even someone like Origen wasn't really 'bad-mouthed' until several year…

Servant if you are going to say something like "95% of things that are in common" between us, please detail those similarities. I mean you make it sound as Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, and thats just not the case. But please, since we seem, as for…

It is no secret to people like Fr. Peter and I. That is why it can be frustrating and disheartening for us when we try and explain this to people. I have been in many discussions with people at my church because of the fact I do not view protestanti…

Fr. Peter I was not aware of this, as Justin Martyr was a Millenialist, although not condemned I thought he was like Tertullian, well respected but not considered a saint. by the way, he was a great apologist for the church.

Thanks Fr. Peter, can you give the reference for the not singing privately composed songs?

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10596.msg129108#msg129108 date=1296500999] You take monopoly money? [/quote] there is little difference between monopoly money and fiat currency, not joking at all.

[quote author=DimyanCoptic link=topic=10591.msg129118#msg129118 date=1296504694] & that cant be forgiven? [/quote] If the person is unrepentant then they have no choice but to excommunicate as in the case of Arius or Nestorious. You would have …

Jshouk, it is a form of celebration as we all celebrate different things in our own way, according to how we feel. However, when it comes to God we worship God how He sees fit not for our own self. Therefore we must worship and praise with a sober m…

Read protocols of zion. Even if it is fictitious, what is contained in the book is clearly being used today.

dzheremi, thank you very much for that wonderful post. Cradle Orthodox do not understand that most of protestantism teaches, LITERALLY teaches, that the priesthood is likened to the pharisees and the devil. That our traditions are pure evil that we …

Like Fr. Peter said men and women have different roles. You dont see men dying to be able to have children, its the role of the woman.

I had a discussion with some of my dearest friends at church, whos advice I take very seriously. They warned me of this too, they personally believe protestantism is Christian and I disagree, and here is why. Protestantism is not, as a belief, Chris…

Abu, wonderful asessment of the situation. I think the Egyptian people really could have gotten passed a lot of things had the west stepped up and demanded reform long ago, even like a year ago. But for the simple fact that Obama was essentially sti…

you probably could, politics are a cruel joke. Its too bad the Jews control everything.
-
Servant, your totally missing the point and your generalizing things. Its find to Christianize something, as was done in Egypt and Ethiopia. What is being done in our church is an outright travesty! They are introducing protestantism into the church…
-
well let me clarify this. If anyone has experienced protestantism being integrated into their church by means of youth meetings or anything similar, I want you to write down your experience.

Ensok, Read this to know and further understand why protestantism is WRONG. As a convert from protestantism, I feel the need to address a growing phenomena taking place within our very church. The introduction of aspects of protestantism, namely pr…

Mubarek is supported by US and Jews alike. This is why Obama is taking such a sissy stance, which will end up hurting us in the long run. Amazing how you can be a dictator and receive billions of dollars as long as you support US interests. This is …
