In Rev 12, there is a dragon trying to kill a child and an archangel defending the child. There is nothing related to worshipping Adam. There is definitely a canonical position on the question of worshipping Adam in all the passages that say "Worsh…

In Hebrews 1:14, the word translated "ministering" is the Greek λειτουργικός. This is derived from the verb λειτουργέω. Thayer’s dictionary gives the meaning as follows: 1) to serve the state at one's own cost 1a) to assume an office which must b…

The Quran referred to this nonsensical story. Christians believe that worship is for God only. As far as the verses you quoted from Hebrews are concerned, they're about our Lord Jesus not about you and me,

About the subject of "will": > Fr. John Romanides did a deeper study on the issue. He concluded that Theodore of Mopsuestia believed that “union by will” between human and divine nature meant there was no human will at all. It is completely a …

Going back to the subject of "will": > Nestorianism upholds Monotheletism even more clearly.

Church Fathers introduced the concept of hypostasis to describe the Holy Trinity and also to describe the Incarnation. It doesn't mean an "individual person" but rather a "mode of being" or an "individuated existence." It is similar to the latin "pe…

Hi: > This last post is confusing. The Coptic church first off is not against Miaphysitism. It professes it. Metropolitan Bishoy of Damietta gave his own Coptic explanation of the "one will". He saw no difference between the expression of "on…

Thank you for the answers and the references. I found the following article to be relevant: https://www.suscopts.org/messages/lectures/christlecture2.pdf In this Pope Shenouda III declares the Coptic Church's belief in Monothelitism. I think it set…
