Unworthy1 and Bam, Thanks for your comments. This topic reminded me of the story HH Pope Shenouda told in his sermon on forgivness about a priest who tells his wife (she donated one of his extra Jalabiya to the poor) that what he preaches in the ch…

Father Bless, Let me put it this way: If the same person were to confess their crimes to a priest, would he absolve him or does he withhold absolution and first require the penitent to surrender to authorities? If the person was my own brother as…

Sudani,thanks! You are right, Job says "I am righteous", of himself.That makes him being self-righteous which is not right in the sight of the Lord.Therefore, God sends him hardship to correct him from this mistake,at least according to sermon I he…

Basically similar to Godlovesme summary with one or two lines more.I took it from a church website named after her and St Maurice. You can read about the Saints that joined the Theban legion in this link-- Saint Maurice and the Theban Legion. The…

Hi billious: This is a link that Fr Peter gave us: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/ Recently,I also found this link - http://www.godrules.net/library/fathers/fathers.htm (detailed version) I think the teachings of the Church fathers is infalli…

Unworthy,thanks for the links to the commentary of Thomas Aquinas. The passage in Deutro which the verse in John 1;19-21 is a direct allusion to, speaks of a Prophet who is like Moses.If we compare the stories of Moses and Jesus, there are some p…

While searching for the church fathers teaching, I found this link and it should clarify things: The Fourth Commandment-Pope Shenouda It Is A Day For The Lord: You do not own this day to act on it as you like. It is the Lord’s, you should give it…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11552.msg139050#msg139050 date=1307388218] But, Our Lord, did descend into Hades and brought out the souls of the righteous. He opened the gates of Paradise, and He is clear to the thief and Mankind that 'thi…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11542.msg139003#msg139003 date=1307301826] EKhrestos anesty THanks dzheremi. I'm aware of the fact that Coptic is semi-semitic semi-Hamitic as is Amharic I think while both Arabic and Hebrew are Semitic. IS that cor…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11543.msg138973#msg138973 date=1307136653] You only have to read round the catholic web to see that there was not mention of a miracle at the time, and no suggestion by the bishops there was a miracle, and no re…

Fr Peter, I thought I saw the host rising at exactly 0.05 - 0:07 min of this video : If you pause the clip at 0:07 min, you could see (at least I believe I see it) enough space between the paten and the host to see through the bishops cloth.The hos…

Romans 10:15 "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" Father Bless, May you be blessed with one of your happiest …

Thanks Fr Peter.There is something from page 23- 31. The argument appears to be that the Serpent deserved curse, because it served as a vessel for the works of the devil. But I will have to re- read it carefully.I will get back for more help if the …

Father bless, I did check Fr Tadros Malaty's book on INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS before hand. Although he does make extensive use of the Church fathers in his book, he only says this much in regards to the cursing of the serpent: "So …

Thank you ALL for your efforts in clarifying my question. It appears to me that St Thomas Aquinas dismissed the interpretations of St John Chrysostom and St Cyril. It is improbable that he did not read their works. But since St Thomas Aquinas is n…

Do u mean the Nativity story? The whole movie is on youtube.

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=11507.msg138790#msg138790 date=1306856246] Yes I am using archaelogical evidence. We must remember that just because Christ inevitably existed does not mean we can prove His divinity. [/quote] If atheists do not ha…

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11507.msg138755#msg138755 date=1306792586] Interesting - I would expect most to be buried in mass graves. It is the most efficient thing to do. They put Jesus in a tomb and sealed it at the Jews' request, lest His …

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11507.msg138751#msg138751 date=1306789047] I am not sure what the forth point proves. May you elaborate? [/quote] The remains of the crucified man just confirms the bibles narrative about the death and burial of J…

To an atheist no explanation seems to be enough,but Biblical archeology might be of great help here: 1) The discovery of the James ossuary with the inscription " James the son of Jospeh, the Brother of Jesus". If it is authentic , as mnay scholars …

Listen to the wisdom of your lovely parents!!They know and see things that you can not know and see.You surely know,they always want the very best for you.Read some chapters in Genesis to find out how God led Abraham,Isaac and others to find their s…

Fr Peter,thanks for the information. May God protect His own church.

Hey Bigee big man, welcome back.Nice to have you back..it has been a while.. Sometimes things do not go the way we want them.But that does not mean it is the end of the world.Life is all about struggles.Life means a continual battle. We all have t…

Christ is Risen! Father Bless, If I am not mistaken, the Bishop in the centre is Bishop Marcos, also a member of the Coptic Holy Synod. I remember seeing him in Egypt.To my knowledge, he is a supporter of the current unlawful Eritrean Patriarch.I …

I am not trying to make an elephant out of a fly,but I posed the question to find out if there is any orthodox view on the verse as I have come across writings that claim the translation was faulty and that it should read 'I AM'. Of course,our Lord …

I think ,I did not properly explain what I mean.My issue is not with Grammar. In Exudos 3:14 ,God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Note,God did not tell Moses to "tell them '…

Thanks Joseph for the link to the Greek Orthodox Bible. I have one question,though. In Mark 6:50 ,Jesus says "or they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”. T…
