I have to disagree with you TITL, # of posts only refers to how many posts you have done. Not quality. I have talked to quite a few of the admins on this site about this and its about trusting the person who is a moderator. You can't just give the m…

I agree with all of what has been said thus far. The issue in the church we have now is not something that is recent but has been long coming. If you go back 100 years, service in any manner of the diaconate was very rare. The hymns and traditions w…

I haven't read what either have said specifically on my own, however, saying we have a hypostatic union with God is not right. This would in someway make us "divine". What the EO believe is most likely what we believe as well, although I could be mi…

The 3rd way to baptize is in the case the first two are not available. Not as a means to have it done all the time. At this point in time, I know that the COC does not accept the baptism of catholics. Almost every catholic that I've known coming int…

They do not baptize by submersion, they just sprinkle water on the person to be baptized and call it a day. That is not baptism.

You would need to talk to the bishop in your area, but from previous threads, if we do not consider their baptism legitimate, then the priesthood they have is not legitimate therefore your confession would not be to a leigitimate priest. Why go to c…

Epchois nai nan, I would have to disagree with you that they are given these images simply to help us imagine them. I believe that aside from specific facial features and details, they do in fact have 2 wings and a body. Why else do we ascribe six …

Thank you Father Peter, that post helped me very much. Pray for me

Father Peter, I also had a question that relates to the Will of God, that always confused me. If you answered this in your previous post I apologize I did not read the whole thing. When Christ prays in the garden and says, Let your will be done an…

I have to agree with Remenkemi and Ophadece on this one. I really think the entire madeeha should be scrapped. Most of it does not make sense and is in fact theologically incorrect. If we take the verse: Zephaniah proclaimed...He will appear as rain…

Mina is right, Mlm Mikhael definitely did not know all the hymns out there. There are so many variations and things going on. The only hymn he even got from el sa3eed was Apetjeek(although I'm not sure if he got it directly from them or another sour…

[quote author=aem581 link=topic=10199.msg124736#msg124736 date=1292479823] Why would the Tarh El Falaa tune be used during Kiahk if it's used in Resurrection? Like what is the tune for the Difnar for Lent? [/quote] As far as the difnar goes, aside …

As seems to be the case lately, I am a bit late to this thread. Fr Peter, I would say that with the introduction to technology(its best use in the church) that alhan and the hymns have had a re-birth so to speak. More so in the diaspora than in E…

I'm sure my post really has no relevance at this point, but I would like to say I can see the argument for both cases...That being said, my opinion is that the projector being added for the purpose of people following along was the worst addition to…

And just because it's approved by the COC, it doesn't mean it's accurate. The same Bibles approved by the COC goes against the theological structure of the Orthodox (and Catholic) churches by calling the "presbyteroi" as "elders" instead of the actu…

So if you have the "right" translation, please enlighten us. Provide your sources, don't just say I have sources and hide behind them. If they are truly scholarly and of merit(and not simply people with an agenda) then share them. FYI for all out th…

If you are having issues, then there is no problem seeking another FOC altogether for convenience. Or if you want to just confess to this priest and seek spiritual guidance from another that is also ok. You can have an FOC and a spiritual guide who …

Abughalmsees is the corruption of the coptic word for Apocalypse as Mina has beat me to this post lol

You are right TITL, quality is better than quantity. But unless you plan on living as a nun or the work you will get into has no human interaction, you are gonna need to be more social. Especially when people are looking to hire or take a risk on gi…

Lol I'm sure you are a great person but a bit arrogant aren't we? If you are satisfied then whats the issue? You've gone in a circle. You said you have trouble focusing on things other than school. You just said you don't want friends and they abuse…

Well, than thats the problem ;) being antisocial is not always a good thing. Why not become involved in school activities or be in contact with friends and such? You are probably forgetful because you are deeming already what the person is saying(if…

Maybe your mind is preoccupied with matters that are less significant? Are you bothered by something? If you don't like planners just keep the syllabus of the class with your notes and such. Most professors give you what is expected and what assig…

I doubt you will find that online since its not common to recognize that way as a "legitimate" way to say the Psalm.

I wouldn't say this is a spiritual thing but hey, pray. lol It is a generic answer but it works wonders. On a more practical level, why not use a organizer or planner? Write down what you need to remember for hw assignments and take more detailed …
