I understood that it was said that the four incorporeal creatures are a rank of heavenly hosts. Their description: "the first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, a…

I think that this was done in order to teach them that all sins have consequences that may affect others not just one's self. Visiting the iniquity of the father on the sons does not mean that the son is charged with the same sin, but rather inherit…

"Whoever abides in Him does not sin" As long as we are abiding with God we cannot sin, However, being humans that we are, we some times leave the side of God and therefore we sin. This is due to the weakness of our humanity. Therefore if someone sa…

We know that the communion is true body and blood but we can never say how it was changed except that it is a mystery mediated through the Power of the Holy Spirit. To understand that Jesus was speaking literaly about His Body and Blood read John 6…

A book called the Story of the Copts- I liked it alot I have it as pdf but it too large to attach

As much as I know... The baptism that Jesus talks about that is needed for eternal life came through the work of the Holy Spirit and water after Jesus death and ressurection and ascension. The Baptism of John was for repentence to prepare the peopl…

Another reason the Christ was to be born of woman is because as sin came through the woman (EVe) the salvation had to be through woman (second eve, st mary)

"Why do we say He was born of the Father? wouldn't that mean He didn't exist for some time.. " That would fall under the line of reasoning that Arius used. When we say born of the Father we do not talk about the kind of birth of humans. But the …

Here's one i read There was a man who hardly went to church and his mother kept pushing him to go and she explained how the church was full of holy people and that pope Kyrillos was a very holy humble man etc. Finally he decided he would go to see…

maybe its to show that our actions allways will affect those around us. since we are all members of the same body, it could show that when someone suffers because of sin the other members suffer with them..........maybe?

I think it is Hegomens, preists, archdeacons, deacns, subdeacons, aghnostos, psaltos.

Of course the bible will not contain verses for every specific sin. Especially dating since boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relations were illegeal until a few hundred years ago. Therefore the way we can answer htese types of issues including dancing…

An important point is that while we do still remember our sins for the sake of humility and repentance, we should not remember the details cos that could lead us to fall in sin again.... (for example lusts...) "...Take away from us the remembrance …

I think it means that Christ came as a light to the jews to fulfil their prophesies...while at the same time bearing the sins of everyone jew and gentile. The jews are the children and the gentiles are the little dogs as the jews wre the chsen peopl…
