Posting "A Complete Loss of Faith" is such a joke, the act itself contradicts the statement. I am amazed at how many people are on this site just to cause confusion. Either that or its multiple accounts of the same person.

I love Abouna Peters accent. He could be scolding me in the worst of ways and I would still have a smile on my face.

All the hymns? Or just tasbeha?

The process of fossilization is generally accepted as being a long process. If this is true, which it has to be for the fossil record to be taken seriously, why are the more fish fossils than any other fossil? Has anyone actually seen a fish sink to…

[quote author=childoforthodoxy link=topic=13071.msg153537#msg153537 date=1332517629] Dearest brother Ioannes, It most certainly can refer to us. Let us take a brief look at St. Cyril of Alexandria's words on the matter: "Cyril of Alexandria: There…

I really do not care if homo's are able to get civil marriages or not, what I want is for them to leave the church alone. To stop pestering its adherents on forums and such. I get so tired of them jamming their insanity down our throats, coming here…

Evolution has plenty of evidence, as I stated in my previous post, it depends on how it is interpreted. From other sources of inquiry? Those other sources ALSO predetermined that evolution is true, so they are not even questioning if the evidence is…

Science is historically closed minded. When Ignaz Semmelweis suggested that doctors wash their hands after performing autopsies and then delivering babies, he was ridiculed into an insane asylum. That is one simple example, another is the opposition…

I can send you my book that deals directly with this topic, I use evidence, logic, and reason to demonstrate that it IS true. Using, not only Christian sources, but a host of non-Christian sources to reasonably and logically conclude that not only d…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13303.msg155528#msg155528 date=1337025580] Ioannes, Can you elaborate? What exact is it that is disgusting behavior? Female choirs? Female liturgical vestments? What? ILSM, Thank you for a response that promotes di…

Is this the least bit surprising? It is pretty much a Coptic Protestant Church out there. Disgusting behavior.

[quote author=zandali link=topic=9784.msg155443#msg155443 date=1336834561] Whatever you say dude [/quote] If it were the "same god" as you assert, why is this same God telling Christian husbands and wives to submit to one another, then telling Moha…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=13294.msg155444#msg155444 date=1336838252] My understanding is that irishpilgrim is a member of the Coptic Orthodox Church. I agree that it is not always possible to understand everything he says because he use…

[quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=13294.msg155440#msg155440 date=1336823456] I don't agree. For as much as i hate too much worthless arguments, it is good to see how others are thinking about specific things in our church. Also, i don't think you…

Quoting the bible to any person in protestantism is pointless. If they say "show me where it says baptism is necessary." well, they will have an answer for whatever you say, even if it were to say "you need baptism." You have to remember, their whol…

Talmudic law in general is ethnocentric and disgusting. I have a suspicion that it existed around the time of Christ, which would explain His harsh treatment of them. The talmud is not a book like the bible, it is a collection of writings, most of w…

I think you made it very clear, however, the jews do not worship the same God that we do. Their mosaic law was replaced by talmudic law, they reject God in place of another. I would venture to say that they too worship our adversary the devil, based…

Why just meat? Nearly every food in america is Kosher in some way. Kosher does not follow OT as most people think but it follows talmudic law which supersedes the mosaic law. I would think that eating anything kosher would be idolatrous. Jews are wo…

I should have listened to my wife. She always scolds me for eating at our local arab market, I told her that it does not matter who blesses the food, that the blessing of Christ supersedes that. I am so wrong in my thinking, thank you for making me …

Most of the "evidence" is conjecture. Yes there are fossils, but what does this mean? Well, you have to accept Charles Lyell's idea of the earths strata representing ages of the earth. What I am fascinated by is that nobody points out that the vast …

The reason we do this, like during holy week with the psalms, is meditation on the particular psalm. Since the majority of our hymns are theological in nature, it is the same idea. Also, like St. Ignatius says, the deacons imitate the angels, so whe…

Yes, be careful when reading non-Coptic books. The most amazing and influential books I have ever read were Coptic. St Theophilus, St Cyril, HH Pope Shenouda, St Severus, there is a wealth of knowledge and guidance in our Church right here. When I r…

As one with experience of being without the church, let her experience the sea of chaos that is protestantism. Just be there for her, try not to be confrontational but stand firm in your beliefs. If she believes in truth, she will certainly be back.…

I am not sure that protestantism is scriptural at all. Sola scriptura has no biblical foundation. Luther and the reformers asserted that the church had been overcome, yet Christ tells us in Mt 16:18 that this will never happen. (See "On the Babyloni…

Just got my first copy, looks amazing. I also added the prophecies of St Hippolytus in english at the end of this work.

I had someone recently quote Clement of Rome on this. What they did was the same thing they do with scripture, selectively embrace because had they read just a few lines after they would have seen a few paragraphs on works. St James says "faith with…

That is a fantastic book. Graham Hancock is a wonderful author because he is one of the few in that genre who is not trying to push some sort of agenda. He says, here is the evidence, it does not fit with what we are told.

Genetic entropy is far more sensible than evolution. When I was an atheist I could never subscribe to evolution because ancient human history contradicted the idea that we were simple and evolved to a more advanced being and culture. Evolution says …

Read "Reasonable Christianity: A Response to Scientific Atheism". You can get it on amazon.com for like $8 or so. I have an ebook version if you would like that, it answers quite a bit.
