I agree that all the miracles could be reflected upon in a soteriological manner, but only a few could be interpreted as manifestation of God in the flesh.

No immediate plans in the Southern Diocese.

That is why we should be disciples and not teachers. Disciples of the Holy bible, disciples of holy men, disciples of the Church fathers, disciples of the holy books, disciples of the Church books. In summary, we must be meticulous of where we get …

There are certain appearances in the OT that are clearly point to the Incarnation or the manifestation of God in flesh. For example, god's visitation to Abraham with two angels, Jacob's Ladder vision,the wrestle between Jacob and God, the cloud's a…

What is the purpose of selling food in the Church? If it is to raise funds, then this is absolutely wrong and against the Bible teaching.

with the Coptic "Shenouti." He may have been ordained "Shenouda" as some say but I'm pretty sure the ordination was done in Arabic, not Coptic. That's why he was called "Shenouda." The name Shenouda is a composite name of two syllables sha and nouda…

Because the people would not have believed anyway. They would say it was someone who looks like him just as they said about Lazarus.

The sin here refers to the fallen nature that we are born with.
-
You do not need the Church Fathers. What you need is to have them read the liturgy of baptism and the prayers for the Sacrament of Chrismation. There is no single mention of the original sin. We believe in the inheritance of the fallen nature that …

How do these hymns get added to our heritage. Who approves them. What is their source.

Thanks you Kephas

Thanks .. I could not find any Copt by this name.

You are correct Fr. Peter. The Coptic part came because of the Chalcedonians and later the Arabs. Otherwise, the Coptic Church is the Church of Alexandria and I prefer it to be that way. The liturgical prayers still preserve that name. As to what s…
-
I got your message and email. God willing, I will send it you shortly.
-
I prefer the term Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria because it sounds like it describes an Orthodox structure which is open to all ethnicities. This is difficult because there is the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria. I am not sure as to the co…

Would the Copts in Egypt be able to embrace Armenian communities within their jurisdiction while being respectful of their own Armenian tradition? Would the Armenians in Egypt be able to embrace the structure of the Patriarchate of Alexandria while …
-
In Egypt the Greek and Coptic Churches are not part of the same communion, and so that is the reason for a separation. I was not referring to the Greek. I am referring to the other Oriental churches in Egypt; mainly the Syriac and the Armenian.
-
There is a sense of unity in the Southern diocese between the different Oriental Churches. yes, there is cultural differences as well as ritual ones. However, we hold liturgical prayers together every month, the Coptic seminary has been chosen to be…

I have it .. send me an email and I will get it to you.

Everyone has to stand Judgment including St Mary. Read the verses I posted earlier
-
I agree with Cephas. The Judgment day is the true realization of the redemption Jesus delivered on the Cross. Paradise is where the saints are waiting for the happy eternity. Yet, they are only waiting with their spirits. Redemption is for both the…

There are different orders in the Coptic Church: Bakhumic, Antonian, Shenoudian However the most prevalent today is the Antonian.
-
In the Southern Diocese of the US we hold a common liturgy for all the Orientals to attend. We also have youth activities that all the Orientals participate in.
-
The Transfiguration was a glimpse of the glory in heaven. Moses and Elijah appearing in glory do not contradict what will happen on Judgment day just as what took place after Jesus' resurrection. "and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the …

I agree with you Fr. Peter. But this is a long long process. In the meantime, I cannot simply tell my children you are Orthodox or you are American Orthodox because there is neither a Church called Orthodox nor American Orthodox. I have to tie the…
