+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12513.msg147099#msg147099 date=1320421923] I looked up chapter 18 of the Didascalia Apostolorum, and it says nothing about the date of Nativity being fixed. Please look up the Arabic or the Copt…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12513.msg147123#msg147123 date=1320506251] No I didn't think it was actually a crack at me. But I don't know what else "a la Westboro" could refer to? Was it something in the Wikipedia articles? …

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12526.msg147092#msg147092 date=1320412881] The Oriental Churches do not believe, as other Churches do, that the change of the bead and wine into the body and the blood of our Lord during a certai…

+ Irini nem ehmot, The fact that St. Clement illustrates that there were those who believed Christ's birth to be in the spring clearly indicates that the date of the Feast was not fixed in his time (the 3rd Century). There is more evidence to sugge…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Just some comments about the above information. First off, the work 'De Pascha Computus' was not written by Hippolytus. My search has indicated that it was an anonymous work and if it is attributed to anyone, it is to Cyprian. …

+ Irini nem ehmot, Coptic Iconography Print Introduction Iconography began with the intention of educating both the converts and the believers of the church. It is not merely a picture or a drawing, but a spiritual and dogmatic expression. An Ic…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Science and Religion (Part 2) by Dr. Reda Fayek 5. What is the significance of Adam being created in the "Image of God"? St. Seraphim of Sarov (a Russian saint) said, 150 years ago, about Adam: "Many explain that when it says …

+ Irini nem ehmot, Science and Religion (Part 1) by Dr. Reda Fayek Introduction New discoveries in science in general, and in physics, cosmology and biology in particular, make the universe more explainable, as well as more amazing. Does this unde…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Coptic Soldier link=topic=12490.msg147032#msg147032 date=1320297715] Written by C.S. Lewis which is the perfect answer to your question. It is, I think the true orthodox view on alcohol. "It is a mistake to think…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=peter_saad link=topic=12527.msg146983#msg146983 date=1320263169] So my question is: Is it wrong to desire priesthood or monasticism?[/quote] No. [quote author=peter_saad link=topic=12527.msg146983#msg146983 date=…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Not that this will make a shred of difference to anyone here, what with everyone's preconceived notions and love for misinformation, but here are two articles on Halloween that provide an alternative Orthodox and Catholic perspec…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Sort of. On the Feast of Nayrouz we do commemorate all martyrs, so it would be a feast for a subset of Saints, if you will. However, we do not have a feast for All Saints the way the EO and Catholics do on November 1.

+ Irini nem ehmot, This: [quote author=andrewabdelmessih link=topic=12523.msg146947#msg146947 date=1320242454] Saint Augustine said Work as though everything depended on you and pray as though everything depended on God. [/quote] One of my teacher…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I think you have a very skewed view of who the Theotokos is. Speak to your priest.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, With all respect to His Grace, the article presents a great deal of misinformation and is very poorly referenced (i.e. not referenced at all). The Wikipedia articles on Samhain and Halloween are at least fairly well researched an…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=12514.msg146807#msg146807 date=1319943687] The reason this has been confusing me is because Christ is God. So how can He be standing between us and Himself? If the One in the middle is of…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I can just hear the sound of a can of worms opening as we speak.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, These 'rules' are truly a sign of the times. The early Church never had them and they knew well enough to respect the Gifts offered every liturgy. The fact that we, in this modern age, have to create these pseudo-rules and assign…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12429.msg146675#msg146675 date=1319636778] But using your example, if Coptic has pagan words in its vocabulary, then I can choose not to use them when speaking of Christianity. There's nothing wr…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Haven't heard the entire podcast but just wanted to say one thing about the notion of 'butt[ing] out of my religion': This is the definition of preaching Orthodoxy: 'Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary, use words.'…
