[quote author=TITL link=topic=10062.msg123087#msg123087 date=1291208321] ilovesaintmark is 1-7, then Fr. Peter, then you. Now that I think of it, Superman is pretty hilarious too. You're down to number 10. Sorry. Still top 10 though... for now. [/qu…

[quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=10070.msg123049#msg123049 date=1291164512] It just is what it is, and anyone on here not living in a cave should realize that the word "tasbeha" is not associated with Islam. [/quote] In islam, they have Ta…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10062.msg123085#msg123085 date=1291207940] In my opinion he's the funniest. I literally laugh out loud when reading his posts. Your jokes don't even measure to ilovesaintmark's. It's ok, I vote you to be 9th funniest.…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=9987.msg123074#msg123074 date=1291200783] I did explain how God could perhaps be eternally loving even apart from the Trinity. But He IS the Holy Trinity. [/quote] See, that is the problem. I'm not speaking hy…

Thanks Fr. Peter, I'm sorry if I seem a bit dense, but would you agree that through the Trinity, God expresses Love. There is love between all members of the Trinity. And IF God did not have a Son who was Beloved to the Father, then who would God…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10070.msg123002#msg123002 date=1291143990] I thought it was a Coptic word? Doesn't praise in arabic mean "sabah"? [/quote] Im just concerned that people confuse this word with anything Islamic. The word tasbeha is Ara…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=9987.msg122961#msg122961 date=1291065249] This is why the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not something irrelevant to ordinary Christian life, but is the very foundation of it. [/quote] So how comes when I said…

Thanks TITL, Its very kind of you. I should also like to thank those who answer my questions and have helped me develop my understanding. Asking is the easy part. Its the people that really spend ages researching the right answer and giving referen…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=9987.msg122934#msg122934 date=1291045595] I do not agree that love must be chosen to be love. [/quote] OK.. but do you agree that if God is "all-Loving" - it means that He would have loved BEFORE the creatio…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=9987.msg122926#msg122926 date=1291038344] When the Word of God became incarnate he did not cease to remain what He was, and was always God, glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit. But agreeing with you, i…

We cannot deny that if it wasn't for Saint Constantine the Great, Christianity would have been subdued by the violent Arian culture that existed at the time. Christianity, unlike Islam, did not spread by violence.

Thanks Gerhard and Fr. Peter for your responses. Could you also attempt to answer the questions on Christology and the Trinity that I asked? I really would still like all the input I can get. Thanks

I think this is so interesting... So, is it right to call Saint Paul an "Apostle" also? He wasn't one of the 12. He wasn't one of the 70 In that case, we are all Apostles??

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10048.msg122759#msg122759 date=1290685603] Sasi, It is of necessity to call him, the Great St. Mark, "Apostle". [/quote] If he was here today, and he saw the clashes in Egypt, what would he say? What would h…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10048.msg122754#msg122754 date=1290682121] The Seventy are Apostles and Disciples. There were hundreds of disciples, they formed the beginning of the Church. But to be an Apostle was to be sent out. The word Apo…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10048.msg122749#msg122749 date=1290680132] Zoxsasi, You are hitting a touchy subject for me esp. with a name: ilovesaintmark. I think Coptic_deacon makes a partial distinction between the terms. If you go …

[quote author=coptic_deacon link=topic=10048.msg122746#msg122746 date=1290678402] it depends on whether you consider the twelve to be apostles or disciples. They are indeed both, however, when referring to the other seventy we say apostles. in this …

look, here's another case of someone that is forbidden to leave the country after converting to Christianity: http://www.aina.org/news/20090925191939.htm I don't understand why muslims say that there is no compulsion in their religion, and then th…

I think they need help. Is anyone here really good at web design and development that could help them?? I can do some of the graphics if they want. The site could really use some organization and embellishment. Cheers

I think we all know that suffering for Christ's sake is a blessing. But, what about our rights? Its just that the "suffering" for his Name's sake is a bit hard when it means losing your rights. Let me give you an example: I read this tear-jerking …
