[quote author=minagir link=board=2;threadid=3565;start=15#msg54014 date=1146753239] sometimes you just need to let your spirit understand, [/quote] If thats true then we shouldnt have a problem if people want to speak in tongues in the church and …

I agree with Stavro, I dont beleive anybody should be praying in a language they dont understand, just because it 'feels' spiritual. If we say this then we have no basis on attacking protestant churches which practice speaking in tongues of language…

Welcome to the church, you said that you and your fiance beleive in the same thing, this is probably true in the very basics, but im sure many people are going to tell u the difference between beleifs. But with regards to the worship you may notice…

Thanks a lot guys, that really helped. Just want to clarify one thing: So then ecumenical synods are infallible but local synods are not. So then we (Coptic orthodox church) have not taken part in any synods that we consider ecumenical, sine the 3r…

This an article comparing the beleif which seperates us most from the Protestant churches (Including Lutheren), Sola Scriptura. It shows how important apostolic tradition is to our faith, i think it can really help, it is by an Eastern Orthodox wri…

I think some Christians should read the book for apologetic reasons, to have a defence against its claims and to give confidence for the weaker beleivers. However anybody which wants to read it for entertainment, bacause of the writting skills or st…

As mentioned earlier there are many former sceptics and athiests like Lee Strobel which have actually came to Christ through trying to disprove the existance of Jesus or God logically and scientifically. I think the truth is all that all of God's cr…

Thanks for that, very reasonable answer, I just get upset when people say we are the only one true church spoken about in the bible, the one baptism, everyone else is excommunicated outside of the church of Christ, that doesnt make sense to me, make…

i think i agree more with mike, emotional lust does exist, an example would be a thirst for attention from the opposite sex, its not necessarily a straight forward sexual lust. Another i think is to have the emotions that come with owning somebody,…

forgive my scepticism, but isnt it a bit too convenient to say that they were alright to go to heaven when they were excommunicated because we later venerated them as saints, but as for anybody currently excommunicated, he will not go to heaven? An…

The program you are talking about has nothing at all to do with cults or any kind of spiritual practice. It seems like it has nothing even to do with any sort of beleif of any kind. Its just educational software for learning. I dont get it, where is…

St John Chrysostom did not repent and come back since we beleive the church wrongly banished him, the same with St Nectarios. So how can we beleive that somebody excommunicated goes to hell when we accept them as saints??
-
RaviZacharias, i understand exactly what you are saying about protestants overanalyzing the bible and in some cases even criticising. My advice on how to know which protestants to beleive would be to read and learn as much as you can on the orthodox…

[quote author=Safaa link=board=4;threadid=2799;start=0#msg43206 date=1132953255] This excommunication is given to the apostles and after that to the Apostolic Church by the Lord Himself. “ Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bo…

"The different expressions of the one faith are due in large part to non-theological issues, such as "unfortunate circumstances, cultural differences and the difficulty of translating terms." It is debated whether the opposition to …

[quote author=Iqbal link=board=1;threadid=2793;start=15#msg43131 date=1132823903] A church’s validity is not confirmed simply by its having Apostolic roots. Just because a church is ancient and has a history of being in communion with the Orthodox C…

[quote author=Iqbal link=board=1;threadid=2793;start=15#msg43114 date=1132806604] you must remember that correct Orthodox Doctrine is not about what is coherent or rational [/quote] So then what is it about? Just whoever is 'coptic' has the right op…

[quote author=Iqbal link=board=12;threadid=2782;start=0#msg42921 date=1132606627] They are certainly not Orthodox that's for sure, and hence though they recognise some fundamental Truths, they do not adhere to the fullness of Truth embodied by the A…

mnc_hnn is right, in the previous thread all that was mentioned is that 'Selah' represents a musical note, which is pretty useless to us. It is also translated as 'Pause' or 'silence' and is used to indicate that the reader is to stop and think abou…

[quote author=alpha-and-omega link=board=1;threadid=2676;start=45#msg43029 date=1132765910] 1 Corinthians 11:7 "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man." …

I think its sad that we are still not in communion over issues like this. To be honest the eastern orthodox church's Christology makes more sense to me than ours from what i've read. Anyway i could estimate that at least 95% of our congregation are …

Both men and women are created in God's image! and both Adam and Eve received punishments after the original sin! In Judaism women were not to worship with men or be involoved in any religous service, Jesus changed this as he did have many women f…

The theory of evolution (theory that we evolved from monkeys) is just a 'theory' , it cant be proven, but it has been disproven in many aspects. The only reason scientists keep researching it is because they try to prove that God does not exist and …

I think when Adam and Eve are mentioned in hymns and prayers, how Jesus freed them, they are representing the state of fallen humanity, and how Jesus paid the price for the sin of all fallen humans. However the actual persons Adam and Eve i beleive…

I remember it being discussed in bible study, i think it relates to John 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him". I think the significance is that Jesus walked with adam …

i heard that when God would walk and speak with Adam in the garden of Eden, that was actually Jesus?

hi mikefor jesus, on the two points 1) After Moses said “You have spoken well. I will never see your face again.” it does not at all mention that Moses left the presence of Pharaoh, but it seems like the begining of chapter 11 is just continuing on …
