In Pope Shenouda's Book Adam and Eve he says:
what we inherit or what is transmitted to us is Adam’s fallen human nature and NOT his actual sin.

dear hezekiel,
i think your question could be perceived by some as a good one, and by others a 'not so good' one.
let me explain....
readers of the biblical text, have the exegetical duty to accept that we cannot find answer to all the questions in …

But after some time God opens the eyes of the inveigled person and he sees that a person whom he/she loved does not suit him/her.

that's exactly what i mean when…
that could also be an option. i guess when Hosea decided to marry that prostitute not many of his mates approved of his decision. But Hosea knew what he was doing, namely God's will. Was he wrong in not taking his family/friends advice?.. Not at all…
it is also worth noting that sometimes God will express an impose His Own will with regards to the choice of a particular person, as in the case of Hosea. But, this is not generally the case. Usually one should exercise own choice in falling in love…
God does not force you to pray 'our father' however, Jesus is the one who taught his followers to pray like this. it does not appear that he was forcing them, or indeed anyone. however, when Jesus tells you to do something do you take it as a simple…
The short answer is NO.
what do we pray?... Our Father who art in heaven, ... your kingdom come, YOUR WILL be done on earth (..... and in my life) as it is in heaven (not as i may wish to chose!).

useless question!!... just check the calendar mate!
Someone could have easily said to you, lightening:
"Wow! with all these comments by lightening and their arrogant way of talking coupled with their self-righteous view that they have the ultimate truth and condescending approach to apostolic churc…

It would only make sense that if an Orthodox person were to marry a non-Orthodox person outside of the church in a secular ceremony, or even a non-secular ceremony they sh…

Lightning,
Did your wife marry you and then become orthodox, or did she become orthodox before her marriage to you?
If your wife was already orthodox and has married you o…
yes, it was supposed to be funny, witty, just like we expect english humour to be.
of corse it's not so funny/witty for those who still use an english dictionary to understand a joke.
sorry
zox, did you know that the priest is allowed to marry more than once?... :o
i am sure you know that.
...coz he marries every bride and groom on their wedding day!!
:D
dearest zox,
you are my favourite blog pal. your replies are oozing with hate and prejudice and i wonder what it would be like to meet you in the church. should i bring with me a body guard to avoid the effects of your unloving welcome?.. surely, my…
mabsoota, who are you to tell off these orthodox nutters? do you think they will listen to you? soon they will tell you that they did not find the question mark. so ...you may be next in line, kicked out of THE CHURCH, and the orthodox heaven.
zoxasis, i think you don't find my 'agenda' boring. i think you quite like it!! otherwise you would not reply with so much pathos.
the misunderstanding about 'the question' .. you are either being facetious or a complete nutter who cannot understan…
dear zoxsasi, i am aware of these differences, although i appreciate you stating it again. nevertheless, you did not even attempt to answer my last question. or did you mean, by this answer, to justify (or explain) the 'deserved' perpetual spikiness…
i don't know why you find my post rude, pharoh123. i did not disagree with, nor did i add anything to what was said in the initial post. i only said thank you for bringing to light what it means to be orthodox. this is a thak you. it means appreciat…
wow! these questions make me wonder if i should ever get near an orthodox church...
i am really pleased that you guys are bringing to light what it really means to be orthodox.
thank you.
well... we need not get carried away, minatasgeel.
there was nothing in what i said to suggest that i was looking for an 'argument'.
and i am not going to accept you invitation, either.
be good to yourself :)
without agreeing or disagreeing with your classification, i would like to say that what makes protestantism distinct from catholicity and orthodoxy is not the view about may 21 2011.
on the other hand, it can be said that the particular view about …
i am afraid your sight is badly impaired!!
there is no reference on this link to any protestant church which supports the 21may 2011 event.
i wonder if you actually read the article..
