When it comes to genetic defects such as diseases - no, He would not allow it. If it speaks of various accidents (personal differences) of human nature (for instance, eye color), there is no reason not to allow it.

Dear Dioscoros, As I remember, according to St.Gregory of Tatev, St.Mary, John the Baptist and other several Prothets didn’t have original sin. But not from the moment of conception (as Catholics teach), but from the moment the Holy Spirit descende…

Dear Dioscoros, Let's discuss Acts 13:34. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.(Acts.13:34) So just after this we can find: Wheref…

Dear Dioscoros, I'm not sure if this is an authentic quote from Hovhannes Odznetsi. I would be glad if you could provide a link to this work.I would like to comment on your answers: 1. Christ accepts neither original sin nor its consequences. Imma…

Dear Dioscoros, You have just agreed with the exact Chalcedonian definition of Christ's corruption. I copied the text of their Father John of Damascus (https://azbyka.ru/otechnik/Ioann_Damaskin/an-exact-exposition-of-the-orthodox-faith/). Usually, t…

Hello Dioscoros, Thank you!

To my mind, there are a lot of good arguments against Chalkidonites on Mintropolit Bishoy's website. Both historical and logical. Personally, I am not against relations with the Eastern Churches, but when they try to convert us, we must be able to r…

Dear Dioscoros, I wonder, do you agree with this statement? "The word corruption has two meanings. For it signifies all the human sufferings, such as hunger, thirst, weariness, the piercing with nails, death, that is, the separation of soul and body…

Dear theorthodoxgenius, After puberty, you don't have to obey your parents. This is the difference between a free man and a slave. A slave is always subordinate to his master, and a free person is subordinate to his parents only until he can make de…

Hello Dioscoros, There is a difference between sect and heresy. Sect is delusion out the Church and heresy is delusion in the Church. A very good example is St. Basil the Great (379). He was baptized after a heretical creed opposed to the Nicene Cr…

Dear Dioscorus, 1. St Nerses Shnorali wrote about reunifications of Churches. So, he considered greek to be Church too: "Just by the anger of God, was the Church betrayed to the unbelievers, and it happened because of the division? So also the mer…

Hi Mabsoota, On my picture you can see St Nerses Lambronatsi God bless you,

Hello Aba, As I have already posted in other topic, Armenian Apostolic have some saints with different opinion. Catholicos St Nerses IV the Gracious (Shnorhali) (1102-1173) believed that we have one faith with Greek Orthodox and even tried to unite…

Dear Dioscoros, Thank you very much! God bless you,

Dear Dioscoros, Do you have some acts of the Third Council of Ephesus (475) and some texts of St Timothy II against 2 natures? God bless you,
-
Dear Dioscoros, Thank you!!! God bless you,
-
Dear Dioscoros, Can you show me text, where St Cyril wrote, that talking about 2 “unified” natures is nestorianism? It is very interesting. God bless you,
-
Mabsoota, dear friend, You are right. Original sin is not a sin in the sense of personal guilt, but a distortion of our nature. Its main consequence is the "death of the soul", i.e. lack of fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Luckily, fellowship wit…

I read a book “Christology of Assyrian Church of East”, written by russian historian Nicolai Selesnev. (Official Assyrian Church recommends to read it on their russian website). In this book he had broken a lot of myths, connected with this Church.

Talking about Armenian Church, St. Gregory Tatnvatsi did not teach about the Immaculate Conception, but taught that Mary and some of the Prophets were cleansed from original sin in the womb before birth. But this, I think, is only his private opinio…

My friend, The mistake of the Chalcedonites is that they distorted the understanding of the concept of nature. Nature is a general concept, not a particular one. Nature cannot mean "part of Christ." So, Dr. Khosrovik Targmanich (who took part in…

Hello Dioscorus, The main problem here is not the faith, but some proudnes of chalkinodian. St Nerses Shnorali didn’t have faith disagreement with them. He wrote about 2 wills in one. But Greek wanted us to accept all their Councils and change our …

Hello Dioscoros, Here is the difference. We believe that Adam (if he would have wanted by his free will) could felt starvation before fall. Khosrovik Targmanich, great Armenian theologian took part in Manzikert Council. Не wrote: «He [Christ] man…

Hello Dioscorus, What is the difference between blameless passions before and after fall in your opinion? God bless you,
-
Hello Dioscorus, The difference between us I see in the little things. We believe that Adam before sin and Christ after Resurrection were still able to have some blameless and voluntary passions. That’s why we can’t call it “corruption”, because G…

Hello, I know the position of Gregory of Tatev. But Armenian Apostolic have other saints with different opinion. For instance, our Catholicos St Nerses IV the Gracious (Shnorhali) (1102-1173) believed that we have one faith with Greek Orthodox a…

Hello, Dioscorus, Thank you for your answer! I am not sure that the anathema against Severus of Antioch does not exist today in the Armenian Church, because I heard from some priests the opposite information. Armenian theologians accused him of t…

By the doctrine of corruption I mean that the human nature of Christ was changed in resurrection from corruption (not biological, but in passions) to incorruption (to the first nature of Adam). EO and Catholic Churches accept this doctrine.

It’s a pity, but it is not possible. You should choose one Church, where you go all your life with your future wife. Or you will have family problems with wife and future children because of different churches.

Talking about Armenian Church, for us all Churches with apostolic succession are absolutely real Churches of Christ. However, we consider ourselves most close to the truth.
