+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=epiphania link=topic=9585.msg142119#msg142119 date=1311896278] Also, guys, I'd just like to note that the doctrine that says St. Mary is without sin is a Catholic doctrine. not ours. Our church says that there's no …

+ Irini nem ehmot, I would think that an OO priest serving at another OO church would use whatever liturgy is native to that particular church. So, if a Coptic priest served at an Armenian Orthodox church with the Armenian priest, they would perfor…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Clearly this discussion has run its course. It seems despite the position of a Coptic Orthodox priest and scholar, H.H. the Pope, Church Fathers and logic itself, some will insist on a literal reading of the creation myth found i…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I can't see the Coptic text, but if the subject line is any indication, then I assume what you wrote is Abba Pavly, which would translate as Abba (Father) Paul in English.

+ Irini nem ehmot, I prefer 'fallen nature' over 'sinful nature'. The reason is for the very issue lightening raises: 'falling' does not necessarily correlate to 'sinning'. For instance, the blessed Theotokos was sinless and yet possessed a fallen …
