Agape, I'll have to apologize about not reading your whole post in detail, nor did I listen to the podcast by Fr. Thomas Hopko that you linked in your post (I will listen to it soon, though, as I'm interested in hearing what he says about the subje…

imikhail, you always make strong statements, highlight them, bold them, change their font size, but making such forcefully affirmative statements without a rational justification of what you have in mind does not help support your argument, nor does…

If horoscopes were true, then twins would have the same fate. It is obvious that twins, no matter where they live, will not have identical lives nor fates. We have a great example of this in the Bible: Jacob and Esau were twins, yet they lived ver…

I'm also off Facebook, but I'll certainly pray for this service :)

Agape, The Jews who lived in Christ's time were the ones to blame for his crucifixion, as accounted for in the Gospels. This does not mean that Jews after the second century A.D. are to be continually blamed for the crucifixion. The curse that th…

The cymbals and triangle should be BANNED from the Coptic Church. The only instrument we're allowed to use in our worship is the one God created: our human voices.

Speaking of the wind driving the chaff away, here's what happened this morning: World renowned Christopher Hitchens has died. http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/16/showbiz/christopher-hitchens-obit/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

It's amazing how the topics keep changing on this thread. I for one, I'm all for the mandatory seminary education of people who are called to the priesthood. Just as I expect my family doctor do have successfully completed her M.D. before she check…

It may be a whole lot easier for everyone if you simplify the conversation with an analogy. A bishop is given the care of a diocese. When ordained to serve the diocese, it is as analogous to getting married to that diocese. Just as with the canons…

I agree with what Remenkimi says above. As a university teacher myself, I am bound to teach the subject without putting in my own religious beliefs in the course. That psychology professor only has the right to teach the psychology material, and not…

All is good and well with the canons and the historical examples you brought up, with the exception of the very last sentence: When the Church canons become irrelevant, and these canons govern all ranks, the rank of deacons will suffer as well. How…

In Fr. Tadros Malaty's book of the Interpretation of the Book of Genesis, he wrote the following concerning the topic at hand (p. 77, 78 in http://www.thealpha.org/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=53&view=viewdownload&catid=127&…

Isn't that what I wrote?

Yes, but H.H. Pope Shenouda reduced all the circumstances for an annulment (which is called "divorce" because in Egypt, there is no civil marriage/divorce) to two reasons: 1) Adultery. 2) Change of religion/heresy.

Do you want the complicated answer or the simple answer? :P If you want to take it at the literally level (note: literally, not literal), you're asking for a very complicated answer that shows that these genealogies have nothing to do with the age …

The Catholic Church believes that divorce is immoral. Divorces are done in civil courts, but are not accepted by the Church. The Church can only grant an annulment of marriage, rather than divorce. An annulment is the claim that the sacrament of mat…

You said St. Augustine mentions this verse "frequently." I replied to the negative, because he did not use it frequently. His frequent term is "Truth." You may have come across St. Augustine's interpretation of the Psalm, since he has an entire book…

Of course he didn't. No church father did so, because citations were invented in the 16th century.

Remenkimi, did you get your hands on the HCOC Kiahk Midnight Praise? Now THAT was an eye-opener in terms of how many hymns are skipped! BTW, it may be helpful to refer to the track list of this production to know the hymns and the order. However, t…

Remenkimi, I'm sorry to tell you this, but what you've described is exactly on par with Donatism. The only time I've seen a priest (a monk-priest to be specific) not allow someone to take communion was when the girls had lipstick on their mouths…

Agape, I'm not aware of any books on sex reassignment therapy from an Orthodox perspective. I believe it's an issue that's dealt with directly with the discernment of a father of confession, and in some cases with a council of priests/bishops and t…
