So how do you reconcile what Clement said about piercing one's ear being unnatural, Cephas?

It seems like this is becoming a competition in who will have the last word. So entertain yourself. I am not relenting because I am a better man but because I am weaker, and although I would love to continue with my own riposte, I know you would ret…

I'm sorry for not being my normal condescending and arrogant self. Let me return. Of course you did not articulate yourself well, that would require being thoughtful. Is that better?

I can respond and the conversation will continue, but what is the point? It will have nothing to do with the thread.

One can wear a diamond earring or a simple one. Are Sts. Paul and Peter saying women shouldn't wear any? I am not sure. Clement certainly is. To answer your question -- For different people it varies. One women wears an earring to feel feminine ano…

I had a follow up joke but I'll keep it to myself. What church? You don't have to answer, if you don't want to.

Because they are not nearly as specific as Clement. Sts. Paul and Peter are talking more generally on moderation (not wearing expensive stuff), they don't say earrings are bad, rather that outside adornment is. Clement is much more bold and specific…

Oooww, low-blow - now you know that is my home church, Ioannes. Out of curiosity, where do you pray?

Sure, fasting 210 days of the year is more than reasonable when you have imitation food for everything you can imagine!

Haha, you really think I have it out for you Ioaness. I don't. Cephas, what I am asking is does the context matter or is all of this normative? For example, let us take the 1st quote by Clement of Alexandria. [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=1…

Has anyone required you to eat a bowl of molokheya before becoming Orthodox? What exactly are you referring to? What do the laity impose on you? Most of them don't know or care for Coptic, anyhow. . .

Post as you wish, Ioannes. We can use your quotes as a starting point.

Ideally, of course, that would be what he would do. But the question was never about what the person who committed the crime should do but what you should do as knowing his whereabouts.

I keep hearing that the monks of Mt. Athos are stalling talks for unity...can someone explain? I actually watched an excellent documentary about these monks and found them to be serious men of God. I recommend you'll take a look at it. Type in 'Mt…

I'm curious as to how he raised his kids. Was he teaching them hymns as children? Did he push them in this path? If so, why? Do they sit at home and chant all day, back and forth? Did they even want all this? How have they handled the pressure? A gl…

[quote author=irishpilgrim link=topic=11418.msg139607#msg139607 date=1308207050] Unworthy1, I apologize for passing your post. You have asked several questions that I want to take time to answer as thoroughly as possible. Some of the other respons…

Welcome, Finote! I had no idea there was a COC in Bermuda. I look forward to reading your perspective on the issues discussed.

Haha, I think I opened a 'can of worms'! We can come up with a million different scenarios but the main thing is the person is being unjust in evading his sentencing. I was just trying to highlight that when the person is close to you and the crim…
