I thought that submit meant obey. So wifes should obey their husbands. When someone obeys then they are loyal and this is a bond. A bond keeps things together. What husban…

I agree with unworthy1, the verse does not place a condition on the wive's sumbission. I think it's important to remember it is not the husband that the wife is submit…

It means if a women is blessed to have a husband that puts Christ first, she should in turn respect his (her husbands) views, even if she might not agree with him at the mo…

The OP stated he already read the commentary of St. John. As for the link I posted, the author may not be Coptic Orthodox, but his insight into the chapter still hol…
This is Part 2 of my response to Hezekiah’s important post concerning a Christian wife’s duty to obey and fear (respect) her husband. I am now going to discuss St. Chrysostom’s commentary that you seemingly tried to study. It is found at http://www.…

Hi Irish Pilgrim,
Would I be right in saying that you were previously married and then divorced? It sounds like it would have been very painful.
Please pray for me,

Hi again LoveisDivine,
After posting the above statements, I realized that we may be speaking past each other, rather than addressing the same issues. You may be basing your cross jurisdiction marriage conclusions on issues outside my concerns of t…
Hi LoveisDivine,
Thank you for your continuing interest in this vital, Orthodox family and faith threatening issue. I hope that Fr. Farley has time, and career challenging courage to contribute further. He has already courageously, indirectly, cal…
Remnkemi and TITL,
Thank you for your uncompromising and well explained defense of traditional Coptic Orthodox Faith and practice. I have departed my decadent Irish RCC, of birth and heritage, for about thirty years, have been seriously seeking an …
Hi, LoveisDivine,
This post completes my response to your Reply #146 in the earlier discussion and includes my complete response to your Reply # 14 in this discussion. I could not post the complete responses because they were too long to post. I h…
Hi, LoveisDivine,
I have had to split my responses into two posts. The entire responses contained too many characters for one post. I think the division is reasonable for you to follow, if you can stay awake that long. I have tried for two days to …

For those who may be interested, the Catholic leadership's cowardly compromises with the same evil, Feminism, has had somewhat different, but similarly immoral and faith destroying results. The early history/phases of Catholic Femini…
Unworthy1,
Of course, not without full disclosure of the present Coptic feminist/freudian based abandonment of and disbelief in the traditional orthodox understanding and application of the scriptural gender and family commandments as passed down …
I don't know the cause of this misunderstanding. In reliance on my memory only, the bishop tonsured (clipped the hair) of every new deacon (many seemingly ~6-10 years old). I don't know Arabic/Coptic, so I was searching for an appropriate word for t…
of whom i am chief,
You asked for some encouraging words and suggestions. I’ll try to tell you about my start and journey. There is some discussion about terminology, so I’ll tell you that like all serious students/servants, they may have several s…
Unworthy1,
It doesn't, always. But, the current Coptic Church's family destroying, modern demonic feminism/ freudianism/ divorce heresy shouldn't be silently/secretly passed on, as apostolic orthodoxy, to uninformed Copts or to sincere inquirers. W…
I agree with the real, concerned Orthodox Copts’ replys such as the following: Stavroforos Nos. 13, 16, 19, 30; imikhail Nos. 22, 27, 31, 34; JG No. 18; Aegyptian No. 40; ophadece No. 45; and those who agree with this traditional orthodox theology a…
Unworthy1,
As you probably already know, I don’t believe the Coptic Church should try to peddle its other admirable traditional Orthodox attributes until it has faced, discussed, and resolved all of the confusions and errors of its new, rapidly gr…
The original topic of this discussion was: “Why is it wrong to chew gum in church?” I’ve been away for a while, so I just read through the discussion. My initial response has not been raised, so I will share it.
Those who chew gum in public, place…
baladoos,
It seems to me that your specifications for freelance personal responses without reference to biblical and patristic “passages from books etc.” is a very risky foundation for a stable, lifelong, peaceful spiritual marriage and family lif…
Remnkemi,
Thank you for taking the time to address a few of my misunderstandings about the history and traditions of the Coptic Church. In my experience most of the substantive discussions (oral and written ) that I am aware of, in the churches th…
