Minagir, There is a part about the Russian church, I believe around 9 minutes or so. I do not know arabic and dont want to know it. I had it given to me by Dn. Ramez Rizkalla, and he gave me an overview of what it was about. I am going …

Zoxasi, I am sorry you feel this way. I mean no disrespect to you or any Catholics. I know several Catholics myself and would never do anything to purposely hurt them. I am not God so I cannot judge this, I am going by what information we…

Aidan, you are correct. I am about as hard headed as they come. While I won't claim that the EO are heretics, I do crticize dangerous beliefs. I do not disagree with dialogue, it is actually very important. My main concern are things such as the WCC…

If anyone would like, I have the recording of Abouna Raphael, I believe, talking about how the russian patriarch went to great lengths to try and get Pope Kyrillos to have dialogue. I dont think I can upload it here, but email me: Tewahdo@gmail.com …

I am not keen on being part of the WCC, as Fr. Mikhail has told me, to witness to them. This doesnt really make sense, we do not agree with their goals so we should not be a member. I dont agree with masonic goals, so I should not become a member so…

Fr. Peter, shall we put the Armenians above scriptures? Shall we put Pope Shenouda's opinion above scripture? The scripture is clear and I am astounded that a Priest would accept this. Why do you continually use these types of arguments? Can you arg…

First Zoxa, tell me what I said that was rude? I am direct, and when someone is say being foolish, then are they not a fool? Here is a direct quote from Fr. Peter, what he is saying is factual: "i. In 1973 His Holiness Pope Shenouda met with Pope P…

This is what happens when someone has an opposing point of view. You are all interpreting my words as being angry. I am not angry with Fr Peter, or with anyone on this site. I do however dislike his beliefs, and when I say he contradicted the church…

[quote author=minagir link=topic=8994.msg112358#msg112358 date=1269476890] Ioannes, please please watch what you say and how you say it. If you would like to disagree, you may do so is a respected manner as others are doing. Do not, and I am stressi…

You know Fr Peter you continually try and make me look foolish by twisting my words all around, I expect more from a priest. I take pope kyrillos side for many reasons, it is best not to discuss why pope shenouda is wrong in this setting. It is no…
-
Jy, this is the exact point I was trying to make. Pope Kyrillos was against it, and Pope Shenouda isnt. I never said either were infallible. If, God forbid, I am misinterpreting the scriptures or the early church fathers then please point it o…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8994.msg112336#msg112336 date=1269445322] Ioannes, You say, You say that when you were consecrated that you received a "special grace". We all receive the Holy Spirit after baptism, is that not special? It …

Zoxasi, yes it does refer to protestants, as well as any Orthodox not practicing the Orthodox spiritual life. If, as if Fr Peter said, protestants are indeed Christian but do not have the full revelation of the truth, then they are lukewarm. Fr Pet…

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=8994.msg112325#msg112325 date=1269402631] Ioaness you haven't posted anything? [/quote] Yes, for some reason it didnt post what I typed. I was typing from my Iphone, which I am terrible at so maybe that is why. Bas…

I believe the Didache is actually accepted, but I am not sure. There is also the gospel of Mary magdalene, very bad and very gnostic.

Nobody realizes that St Pope Kyrillos was vehemently opposed to ecumenism. I would expect Fr Peter to know this, being that he is well read, either that or just ignorant of the past. FACT Fr Peter you are wrong and are clearly ignorant of Coptic his…

Mabsoota, I would like to hear your story. You can email it to me @ Tewahdo@gmail.com

Being a light to this world is like a beacon of hope to those in the outer darkness, some may choose to come towards it, other may like it in the dark. Being the "salt of the earth" is a very enigmatic thing to say. It kind of a double entendre. Sal…

[quote author=Pi Onkh link=topic=8994.msg112267#msg112267 date=1269351753] Ionnes, you don't agree that it is the body and blood on the altar even if the holy synod agrees that it is??? I'm sorry but who are you to question the bishops? you always s…

It is very clear to me that if we continue this ecumenical mess, we will destroy our church. St Cyprian's idea of church unity is beautiful. In order for a "church" to be legitimate the layperson needs to be in communion with a priest, that priest m…

No. I dont know why anyone would want to partake in what these other churches consider "communion", it would be heresy if done knowingly.

I believe this is why some converts can be very zealous. We know what it is like to live without truth, outside the church. Basically we know what it is like to be without this gift. This is why I know that if one earnestly seeks the truth, God will…

I was raised rather liberally, both my brother and I. Neither of my parents really cared for religion or God. My father hated Catholicism because of the treatment he received in Catholic school, and my mother just didnt care. I can remember as a chi…

Fr. Peter, Thank you for atleast allowing me to return to this subject after the feast. Clearly you do not share the same urgency as I do, which there is nothing wrong in that and I am not accusing you of anything in that statement. I …

I fully understand and respect your view. As said in a previous post I do not adhere to infallability. Fr Peter has said things contrary to scripture, even before the great fast he had trouble dealing with this topic and would close the thread, or j…

Look, I don't believe in infallability, but Fr. Peter continually has said that I should not post topics on anything to do with Protestantism. I have presented my case, I have brought forth witnesses who testify on my behalf and he tells me otherwis…
