LifeInDeath, You have not made pertinent points. You are focusing on mute points that you want answers for, while ignoring the bulk of the supporting evidence. The other scripture that supports this, the bulk of the early church fathers, and the his…

My friend I have studied this for several years. The quote from Enoch by St. Jude is practically verbatim. This is not the only scriptural evidence for this incident and many of the church fathers agree that this happened. They don't even question i…

[quote author=anba bola link=topic=10324.msg125882#msg125882 date=1293816844] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10324.msg125847#msg125847 date=1293775160] No angel can be forgiven sin. This was detailed in the book of Enoch. [/quote] Ioannes I didn’…

Obviously Dimyan wants some sort of help otherwise he would not have posted this. I feel very similar to this quite a bit and the people dont help. Egyptians are not the most compassionate people, they are so quick to judge and point out flaws but a…

[quote author=anba bola link=topic=10324.msg125845#msg125845 date=1293774418] Hey Ioannes, but I thought that after the fall of Satan from heaven, those that chose to remain were above sin. I heard that they are in the same position we will be in, …

LifeinDeath, your misunderstanding the verse. These angels abandoned heaven so it is separate from the devil and his fall. The chronology of these events would be enough to tell you that this is a separate incident. Read the book of Enoch for furthe…

The video is fake. However both the Septuagint and MT contradicts with this teaching of the line of Seth. This is the mantra regurgitated by the clergy in many of the Orthodox Churches. For instance in the MT, the word used for the "Sons of God" is …

Thank GOD! there is someone out there who actually understands! Unfortunately I am not as strong as you emiles. I have alot of animosity towards Egyptians now, not sure if that can change. Anyways who cares I'm just gonna do my own thing since it's …

[quote author=geomike link=topic=10278.msg125821#msg125821 date=1293747289] Ioannes just take deep breaths, and if something really ticks you off just don't reply, because when you do reply it's causing you to sin, and the goal for everyone here is …

Yes, although many in our church ignorantly deny that angels came unto the daughters of men, as both the Septuagin and MT clearly state that these were spiritual beings that had sex with daughters of men and they bore children. The fact is, it happe…

Ilovestmary, Screw you! All you Egyptians do is cast stones and judgment at people. It makes me sick all of you Egyptians make me sick, fuck all of you I hate every single one of you. None of you care to help but your all quick to …

Well at first it was more sarcasm as I thought that the website was a joke, honestly I did. The Least seemed to take this personally as well as Emad. Again I am still having a difficult time with the church so that may be why I am so cranky an unwil…

To elaborate on what TITL said, St. Paul is simply telling us that people who do not hear the Gospel will be judged according to how they lived. We all know right from wrong, it is within and not learned. So if someone did not know Christ at all and…
-
The Least, thank you for pointing out that it is converts fault that we are excluded, that we exclude ourselves. This is the mentality I am talking about, any time I bring this subject up this is the exact same response I get. I really wish you woul…
-
Its all about the context in which it was said. There is much of this throughout the NT that people point to as contradictions, when in reality it is clearly not. You cannot just divorce your wife because you feel like it, which was done in the OT. …
-
thanks for mentioning me! Yes I have been on the site, I watched the senseless video that really gave us no idea as to what exactly the website is for. Judging by your writing style you seem highly offended at our criticisms, good. The site was poor…
-
I love saints like this, I just get confused as to why they are venerated because if someone did this today I highly doubt a single person here would associate themselves with that person.
-
So this is not a site for converts, it is essentially a tool for arabic speaking cradle Orthodox to connect?
-
Im just floating this out here but I say we turn Tasbeha into a despotism. We have ONE ruler that says who stays and who goes and we cyber hang anyone who dares cross him, or even better we can send them to a cyber gulag.
-
With all due respect, I do not think that is what TITL is saying. His post, I thought, said very clearly to give certain people the rights to take these threads off, or the people off the site. Not complete mod status.

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10300.msg125579#msg125579 date=1293554800] Interesting piece of music you created there. Very Coptic indeed lol. 0:45 startled me a bit. What are the words? I couldn't make them out. Sounds like a contemporary version …

This is why I have refused to serve for over a month now. I do not feel that I know enough to consider myself a reader deacon. Abouna always tells me to serve, but I have a difficult time explaining why I do not to him. I have had no classes or anyt…

TITL thats a very good idea

I thought the requirments for being a deacon in the Coptic church was this: 1. Breathing 2. Able to talk 3. Male 4. Baptized 5. Know virtually nothing about Orthodoxy

[quote author=the_least link=topic=10278.msg125524#msg125524 date=1293502150] Well then I guess that every time the pope, or your bishop, or your priest want to send out a message for everyone in the diaspora, or the diocese, or the church, you're g…

The website is bogus and pointless. If there is this much confusion about it, and people here have to speculate as to what exactly it is then the people who run it are clearly confused and have no real direction. I still recommend everyone stay away…
-
Ahhh I see. I figured it would be difficult to study certain areas of Coptic History. My bad.
-
The Least, When you operate a business and you are looking for investors, or even trying to appeal to your target market, you have to be professional and present what exactly your goals are and how you plan to achieve that. If you hav…

Viv, I am not sure that it would be possible to study one fragment of Coptic history like that. Just study all of it.

Personally I feel this is just a massive waste of time and resources. This based on what they themselves have presented to us.
