In my church Tasbeha is half Coptic half English. I am still learning to read Coptic, and I follow with the English on the screen too. :) My favorite Tasbeha hymn is the Friday Theotokia (go to Tasbeha on Thursday nights because that's when they h…

It's honestly something I've noticed too. How is it decided which canons are the most important to follow?
-
Not topic relevant, but you mentioning Tasbeha made me remember. I never attended Tasbeha much until I started college in 2014. Until recently I never really loved it. It always seemed so long (which is weird because the liturgy is longer) And then…

Last year I wrote a poem about how I had doubted. It concluded with "You continued to hold me in Your loving arms, even when I doubted You." I know it doesn't feel like it. I know you feel alone or forsaken. Sometimes it feels like God is an etern…

I don't know if this is relevant, but sometimes with a capsule people will empty it's contents into a drink or Apple sauce or something like that. Would this still apply, since the capsule still contained the medicine within It?

So regarding Mary's role in Salvation. I don't think we have the same view as the RCC who refers to her as the Co-Redepmtrix. What do we say about her role, especially what is different from the RCC?
-
I know we don't believe in the Immaculate Conception, but don't we believe in the Assumption of Mary? But also, how do they know when he says something that comes from the office of Peter? Is it whenever he happens to be sitting in that chair?
-
Unfortunately conditional infallibility is bit infallibity. It seemsike it's basically saying, "If he happens to be right and it's something about faith, then it's infallible" (Unfortunately some of the things they think are right are not like the I…

@minasoliman Brilliant!! :D
-
Yep! :)
-
It is. It is on Bright Saturday. :)

Interesting. I have known that we celebrate both, but I was very used to hearing the Feast of the Nativity also called the Feast of the Incarnation, so I was unaware that we celebrate the Incarnation at both times. Thank you. :)
-
I know I'm Coptic (and female), but part of me slightly wishes I could be the Catholic pope just to do that. Rofl. But I think they interpret "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" as "there shall be not a single mistake ever that you wi…

Does the EO currently have the same view on this that we do? Also, paradox: What if the pope said "ex cathedra" that the pope is never infallible? Lol
-
I understand. Thank you! :)
-
So it was both to conquer death and to demonstrate his absolute power over death, even in its worst form?
-
That's what I thought. Something always seemed wrong to me when I heard that, but I know I am still learning, and can be wrong myself, so thank you for your help. If I may ask a further related question, in response to the question of why the Cross …
-
Thank you! Also, does the EO subscribe to this same thinking as the OO?
-
Ramen, that seems like it was something that developed not necessarily something that was already there then?
-
I've heard the EO claims the Bishop of Rome was considered the "first among equals" of the Patriarchs. What do we say about this?
-
Isn't that why in the liturgy we "pray for these Holy and Precious Gifts, our Sacrifices, and those who have offered them" ?
-
I think seeking unity is important. And while our Pope and bishops show respect to the Pope of Rome, they are also adamant that unity must be on the grounds of truth. I believe that this is an admirable thing. As far as the examples of modernism yo…
-
Thank you mabsoota! :) Another question is regarding the accuracy annotations. For example in the OSB "Mary the mother of James and Joses" (Matthew 27:56) is said to be also the Mother of Jesus, and the "stepmother" of James and Joses. But I have fo…
-
binC, I read your summary of the article. It was quite helpful, thank you. :) It seems we know the issue is semantics rather than theology. Does this mean the divide is largely political at this point? If you think so, what do you think we can do t…

Hi! I know I'm late, but I'm really confused. Just now I was looking at Jeremiah 33 (chapter 40 in OSB), and the OSB is missing like 1/2 of the chapter? Is that accurate? I'm really confused about the reliability of the OSB right now.
-
But then don't we now have the same interpretation of His nature?
-
I feel sad that such issues that seemingly have more to do with semantics than theology have hindered our unity. I guess this is simply evidence of our human weakness. But I am young and still learning. I was wondering, is it still possible to hold …
-
But if it is just semantics and we all know it is just semantics, then what is putting off restoring full communion?
-
So, it is just semantics?

I don't know if it's necessarily what you're looking for, but they are annotated in the Orthodox Study Bible. :)
