St Athanasius:"For being over all, the Word of God naturally by offering His own temple and corporeal instrument for the life of all satisfied the debt by His death" ~ "On the Incarnation"St John Chrysostom:“It is as if, at a session of a court of …

Some references from an old thread I made years ago on another forum: St Severus of Antioch:"So he became sin to remit the sins of others: so also he paid the debt that was incurred for us, and we ourselves became righteousness in him; for those who…

@zoxsasi I am by no means an expert on the issue. I am neither a philosopher nor a theologian, nor can I claim to have studied the writings of the "triple A" in any detail. However, from what I gather they seem to define Christ's sacrificial offerin…

@Zoxsasi You said: Why do they still call themselves the British Orthodox Church then? For the same reason the countless other vagante "Orthodox" bodies do. I am afraid to say that irrespective of their theology and the name of their Church, that …

Excellent statement, Tobit.

^It is a part of our tradition (lowercase t) and it is a historical practice within the Church predating the advent of Islam. Some influences of Islam on Copts: -Many Copts adopt a prohibitionist view of alcohol even though drinking alcohol is not b…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14497.msg165225#msg165225 date=1371874085] He means these lol. Man, only Stavro could make a staunch ecumenist like myself laugh at a joke like that. What can I say? 'Twas an excellent comeback! RO [/quote…

[quote author=Stavro link=topic=14497.msg165180#msg165180 date=1371754923] There is no problem at all with this. After all, Leo is depicted with Archangel Michael in many icons of the great Archangels. [/quote]WHAT???!!! What so-called "icons" de…

I received my scores back. I got a 1930 (around 90th percentile, I believe). Not bad considering it was my first try and I barely studied (though I would like to triumph over this laziness over the summer). I have yet to receive my ACT scores back. …

^Thanks, Rem!

Nothing? ???

^No. If a Coptic Hierarch prayed with Jews I would probably condemn him just as strongly if not more so. The difference is that while I do consider the Latins to be Schismatic and heretical, at the very least they accept the doctrine of the Most-Hol…

[quote author=minasoliman link=topic=14347.msg164054#msg164054 date=1364765497] So if Leo's Tome would be renamed "Leo's exposition of the natures en theoria", would it be acceptable? [/quote]No, because much of the content is still unacceptable reg…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=14347.msg164041#msg164041 date=1364668366] The insistence of Leo of the two natures after the incarnation is what is offensive and not accepted by the Orthodox. [/quote]Fixed that for you. ;) Specifically, his insi…
