+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11829.msg141209#msg141209 date=1310365276] [quote author=ophadece link=topic=11829.msg141208#msg141208 date=1310365046] Yes that's right (as an answer). Jesus went to the synagogue once to find …

+ Irini nem ehmot, The Disciples were tasked with preaching the gospel and making disciples of the nations. They witnessed Christ's ministry, His arrest, His Crucifixion and His Death. It was necessary, therefore, for them to also be witnesses of H…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Well, it's more Greek than Coptic. However, Cyril/Kyrollos is derived from Kyrios.

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11804.msg141039#msg141039 date=1310059360] Can the word "Kyrios" be used as a baby boy name? [/quote] Yup.

+ Irini nem ehmot, For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Well that's the crux of the issue. Her body may have ascended, but it is most likely that she has not received her glorified body. That is why I brought up the issue of Enoch and Elijah. Unlike St. Mary they have not died. Howeve…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=11784.msg140941#msg140941 date=1309888655] I have read On The Incarnation. I just don't understand why someone would have to be judged based on "ancestral sin." We are not accountable for their …
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, St. Mary, according to tradition, was sinless. However, it is not just from sin that we are redeemed. The consequence of Adam's sin is that we have become corruptible, that is our nature was corrupted and we are prone to sin and …
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Why should St. Mary get a pass though? The Church's teaching is quite clear that all men will stand before Christ to face the final judgment, with no exceptions. Further, it is only after the final judgment that we will be 'trans…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, The blessed Theotokos must also be judged, just as all men will stand before the throne of Christ to be judged. I believe the implication of St. Mary's body being taken up to heaven and being reunited with her soul would imply th…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I was just reading the Apocryphal Works on the Assumption of Mary. What are your thoughts on this work which, I believe, is dated circa 400 AD?
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Remnkemi, Thanks for letting me know. I agree that the Synaxarium is not historically and/or theologically infallible. However, it does present theologoumenon. Looking at the entry, I do not believe it actually claims that St. M…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I will definitely check it out. Thank you again.

+ Irini nem ehmot, I think I understand what you're saying. The glorified body that Christ had after His resurrection, and the glorified bodies that we will receive is something that will occur in the last days after the final judgment (as I unders…

+ Irini nem ehmot, I took an introductory course to the New Testament in university. Not everything is 'orthodox' per se, but it is certainly a great learning experience. I highly recommend it.

+ Irini nem ehmot, I can't say that your response comes as any surprise to me. However, where the author of the article at least makes references, you are oddly silent in providing any. Your argument essentially boils down to someone merely blockin…
