+ Irini nem ehmot, Unlike in the age of Grace, where the Holy Spirit permanently remains with a person after their baptism and chrismation, the Holy Spirit would come upon and leave a person in the age of the Law. Thus, the Holy Spirit would come u…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11275.msg137132#msg137132 date=1304367276] My question is VERY specific. Were you crucified on the cross with Christ? [/quote] I've already answered it. Our union with Christ is a mystical union.

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11275.msg137130#msg137130 date=1304367143] [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11275.msg137128#msg137128 date=1304367064] + Irini nem ehmot, Thank you. No one is saying people don't make mistakes. Bu…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Are we not members of Christ? Do we not become one with Christ through communion of His Body and Blood? So yes, we are crucified with Christ.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Thank you. No one is saying people don't make mistakes. But who's to say that the Pope himself didn't make a mistake. That is all.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11275.msg137121#msg137121 date=1304366407] There is a sense in which we have been crucified with Christ. HOW? I am not discussing baptism here. [/quote] 'I have been crucified with Christ; and I…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Kindly reference everything in this book. Give us the title, page numbers, and copy and paste the text and give a translation.

+ Irini nem ehomt, Father bless! Thank you for being the voice of reason.

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11275.msg137099#msg137099 date=1304356440] If you are reading what I referred to, then you will agree that Fr. Matta does say that we have everything that Christ has. This is saying we became lik…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Father Peter said:But to say that we have everything that Christ has does not seem to me to be heretical at all and definitely does not require us to say that we become Divine in essence. The name of Christ belongs to the incarnat…

+ Irini nem ehmot, There can still be distractions. If you want to pray in the dark, light a candle in front of an icon and pray. That, I think, would be best.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Since when did our Patriarch become infallible? Since when did any man become infallible? Seriously?! Is it hard to believe that a patriarch, whoever they may be, can fall into heresy? It has happened before. I'm not saying one w…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Why not just pray with icons? No imagination necessary.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, I got mine done at a local tattoo parlour. I showed them the design I wanted and they did it.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Just because one says it doesn't make it true, no matter how many times one says it. The Pharisees taught that the Law meant one thing. Christ showed that the Law meant something else entirely. You say the 'church' teaches one th…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, And your skewed views of what the Church teaches (translation: opinion) doesn't matter either. The Church is far wiser than you, and will deal with each couple's individual circumstances as she deems fit. I've said it before, and…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, 'Woe to you also, doctors of the law! For ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.' Read up on ecclesiastical economia. Then come back and make that stat…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Not according to H.G. Anba Bola. The Church, in her wisdom, allows for each case for divorce to be brought forward and discussed. If the Bishop of Marriage sees that divorce is the only alternative to resolve the issue, he will g…
-
+ Irini nem ehomt, If the Church makes an official statement of the legitimacy of a miracle, then you can choose to believe in it. However, if you choose not to, it does not matter. Our faith and salvation is not dependent on miracles. As I said in…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, No. A fake apparition will not lead people closer to God. On the contrary, it shows how shallow a person's faith is, that they rely on miracles instead of focusing on Christ Himself. Here are some stories from the Desert Father…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11334.msg136843#msg136843 date=1304045151] Even if the devil is trying to play a trick on us....isn't he only increasing our faith and belief and hope in God? [/quote] This is a joke, right?
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, It's probably nothing. I wouldn't think too much about it. Focus instead on your prayer and God's mercy without any expectation or desire for a 'feel good' sensation or any sensation at all.
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Father bless! While those are certainly great suggestions, I can't help but wonder; psychologists and psychiatrists undergo a great deal of schooling and training in order to treat patients. Perhaps psychological care under the …

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11218.msg135535#msg135535 date=1302231320] The questions posed by Ekrom in the LGBT survey thread got me thinking. It has actually been a question posed to me by fellow servants in the church. …
