"For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, 'I belong to Paul,' and another, 'I belong to Apollos,' are you not merely human?What then is Apol…

"All of these problems that are occurring now are the consequence of poor ecclesiological theology and the political paradigm of HH Pope Kyrillos VI and Pope Shenouda III. Not only is there no theological grounds for the general bishop, there is no …

Unfortunately, no.

Short answer: that distinction between pipnevma and oupnevma was first noted by the late Anba Gregorios, bishop of theological studies. It did create a huge divide later between Pope Shenouda (and loyalists) and Fr. Matta (and loyalists), the former…

LordHaveMercyOnMe, This may be a late reply, but better late than never :) I understand that many people in the world enjoy BDSM activities in sexual intercourse, and this is something worldwide across various cultures. I've heard from many peop…

mikeforjesus, you are not demon possessed. But you do need to find a good, Christian social circle to help you grow into a happier person.

Agreeing with "The least of all"! May God save us all from the ἰουδαΐζω!

The following lecture by the late Cardinal Avery Dulles may be helpful to understand the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. Take note especially of the second part. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5:

From the Catholic Encyclopedia: "Consubstantiation": "This heretical doctrine is an attempt to hold the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist without admitting Transubstantiation. According to it, the substance of Christ's Body exists tog…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=14367.msg164200#msg164200 date=1365823704] You need to read the above explanation of the terms which were already given in this thread. The idea that the term transubstantiation carry conflict with Orthodoxy. We …

Agape, I can't understand why some would think that the use of the word transubstantiation takes away the mystery of the transformation or change of the Holy Mysteries! If anything, it maintains the mystery even more. Just think about it: have you …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=14367.msg164178#msg164178 date=1365733921] The term "Transubstantiation" and "consubstantiation" are foreign to Orthodoxy. The term used in the liturgy is "change". [/quote] And this "change" happens in what sense?…
-
Agape, The very short answer: Transubstantiation is Catholic and Orthodox, Consubstantiation is Lutheran. Transubstantiation means that the substance of bread and wine are transformed into the substance of the Body and Blood of Christ, yet remai…

That is correct, Remenkimi! While you focused on the sin aspect of the clergy, who are human, the point here is that the Holy Spirit isn't tied up to the limitations of humanity, which includes sin, aging/health, and death.

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=14265.msg163354#msg163354 date=1361121759] [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14265.msg163347#msg163347 date=1361083245] Hey IP, I wonder what you think of Isaac the Syrian who retired from being Bishop of Nn…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14265.msg163293#msg163293 date=1360765094] In reality, there has been only half a dozen times or so papal infallibility has actually been invoked. The last one being RCC's ex cathedra definition of St Mary's Assump…

Agape, You'll have to hunt for these in the library, but have a look: Articles: Justin Martyr and the Logos Spermatikos. By: Osborn, Eric F.. Source: Studia Missionalia, 42 1993, p 143-159. "Hellenization" and Logos doctrine in Justin Martyr. B…

Agape, While it's true that the Novus Ordo (New Order) Mass of Pope Paul VI was intended to simplify and popularize the Mass for the people of the 1960's and 1970's, with the variety of cultural additions depending on the countries in which the Mas…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13920.msg162383#msg162383 date=1357139275] The Anglican church and Roman Catholic Women Priests can fool themselves and think they are serving God. It's obvious that these groups try to validate their existence by …

[quote author=qawe link=topic=14084.msg162318#msg162318 date=1356935449] This is directed to those Copts who believe in theosis. Are there any mentions of theosis in the Coptic liturgy? I don't recall any. It seems quite odd that such an essential …

Agape, InChrist7 does have a point concerning the mixing of Scriptural texts in the Christian tradition. This occurs in the Gospels, the Church Fathers, and in hymnology. One example from the Gospel is St. Mark 1:2-3, where he says "as it is writte…

Agape, Not all truth is contained in Scripture, but Scripture contains all truth.

Agape, Mina, the lead up question would be: what did the Church Fathers say about the Angels. Do they reproduce? If yes, then by what means are they reproducing? After all, there's Quite a lot that has been said about the possibility of Adam and Ev…

Agape, Regardless of what people think Church Fathers say or what Jewish and Christian historians claimed about their interpretations of the sons of God marrying the daughters of men, I think what matters is the worldview through which we interpret…

[quote author=sherene_maria link=topic=13615.msg159526#msg159526 date=1346533215] [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13615.msg159516#msg159516 date=1346459537] It has to come from the top. It heavily depends on the next patriarch, his views, a…

Agape, Before people begin to bash on St. Augustine based on secondary sources, I figured I'd include some of his sayings here on foreknowledge and predestination: De prasedestinatione sanctorum 19 (PL 44), trans. Roland J. Teske, in Answer to the…
