Coptic Orthodox Church / Theosis (again!!)
« on: February 17, 2012, 10:03:54 PM »
Howdy,
Was talking to a friend and he said theosis is:
"Becoming God, Except in his Essence".
Now would that not mean that you don't become God, hence the statement you become God makes no sense>?

Hey guys. I was discussing theosis with a few people, both Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox. I also know that theosis is one of the contraversial issues surrounding Fr Matta El Meskeem. Was wanting to initiate a discussion on the Oriental View of theosis.

Coptic Orthodox Church / What does it Mean to Be Coptic Orthodox?
« on: March 28, 2011, 10:40:22 PM »
GDay all.
I am a convert to the Coptic Orthodox Church. I was raised a pentecostal, but saw the errors of my church when studying some of the Church fathers writings.
A Question many people face is what does it mean when I say I am Coptic Orthodox?
Many people say that If your baptised Coptic Orthodox it makes you a Copt, i consider this Hogwash.
What am I?
I am an Australian Orthodox Christian. I attend a Coptic Orthodox Church because They Hold the keys of Salvation. I will never be a Copt, I am an Australian.
What frustrates me is that alot of those raised in the Church Confuse the Rite (Coptic) with the Culture (Copt). Its a problem which is causing alot of converts to stumble.
What are your thoughts?
