In baptism our old nature is taken off and a new man is born, born from the water and the spirit. The old man does not die completely, else it would mean we would be deprived of our free will, so we can actually choose to nurture this new man by the…

Hi marmar, welcome to the site, it's always nice to see another member from Holland on this forum (3 guesses who this is lol)

God actually provides food for the entire world, the production is sufficient to feed the entire world, so God indeed prepared a planet that is capable of housing and feeding us all. However, due to the greed and selfishness of man, a lot of food is…

Just a side note, axios is greek not coptic :P

wooohoo, thats exactly what i said ;D or wait, maybe i had read HG anba Yousef's answer before and it popped up in my head when i read this discussion lol ???

Interesting article, I'll see if I have acces to it at my university next week ;) Anyway, i have always thought that the 40 and 80 days are truly for the mother's sake like was said before, so that she may recover after giving birth. I always belie…

Aw man, I was looking forward to finally meet someone I know from tasbeha.org :( Is someone else coming? Any takers? QT? Londoncopt? Irini? :P

There's also an interesting commentary by Fr Tadros on these epistles. Look under the following link: http://coepa.org/tNG/cnt_download.php?id=287&dname=Download1tNG/cnt_download.php?id=287&dname=Download1

Ey Matt, I love your name and ur study :P

Back in 2000 when St Mary appeared in Assiut, we went to Egypt to attend a wedding of a family member. We also have relatives in Assiut, so we were invited to go visit them a couple of days and receive the blessing of St Mary, and indeed we saw alon…

First of all, the Hebrew term for justice does not have the meaning you attribute to it. Your source for this definition of justice was a speech delivered by a Russian Orthodox layman. He himself gives no source for this strange take on the Hebrew t…

This view is from the middle ages (this is not something i studied per se, but someone explained it to me). Back then if you would hit a farmer, you could simply pay him with a bag of onions or potatoes (cheese onion chips if u'd prefer that :P), an…

"But repentance would, firstly, fail to guard the just claim of God." The quote from Athanasius is very clear, however it could be interpretated in different ways depending on the meaning of JUSTICE. If you take justice to have the meaning of God wa…

I thought that Abu Fana was arabic for St Epiphanios, but perhaps i'm misinformed ??? ;D

lol, no they were too busy discussing atonement and divine justice :P My list is pretty much the same as yours ;) But please also include the praxis response for Ascension and atai parthenos, the watos theotokia's and the festal tune for the Adam p…

You'd have to ask that question to someone who is more learned than me ;) What I know is that nowhere in the divine liturgy or the psalmody or agpeya prayers (not even on great friday) we ever say that Christ died to satisfy Divine Justice. As for t…

[quote author=godislove260 link=topic=6723.msg90197#msg90197 date=1213177580] But then anyone could be sinless like her, if they wanted, if it's purely based on surrendering your will to God (I'm not saying that that's easy) but theoretically we sho…

[quote author=Hos Erof link=topic=6719.msg90196#msg90196 date=1213174657] God does not need anything. This was something that was set by God. Do you not remember that God himself asked the people in the old testament to offer sacrifices on behalf of…

Perhaps you can give me the correct definition then... The word DIKAIWSUNH,"justice", is a translation of the Hebraic word tsedaka. This word means "the divine energy which accomplishes man's salvation". It is parallel and almost synonymous to the o…

Abouna claps because he says a psalm that he finishes his service with (just like we pray psalms on our way to church, when we bow infront of the sanctuary, when the liturgical clothes are being put on, when abouna washes his hands etc), there's psa…

[quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=6719.msg90113#msg90113 date=1213136034] Can we all agree that only God himself can bear the weight of our sins? To satisfy the Divine Justice, there had to be a punishment for our sins, this is what the church beli…

[quote author=godislove260 link=topic=6723.msg90015#msg90015 date=1213114182] Why exactly was St Mary sinless then? Because she surrendered her will completely to God? or because the Holy Spirit overshadowed Her? [/quote] Because she gave her wil…
