Yes there are errors in the Synexarium. However, if it agrees with the rituals and prayers, then the fact mentioned is true as with the case od Pope Archilaus. The name Archilaus and Achillas are the same Cephas rightly pointed out the existence …

Ok. forget the other Churches and forget the Synexarium. What about our Church's diptych? Is this too not strong? For hundred of years have we been mentioning Pope Archilaus while he was in fact rejected by the Church?

If i may ask , do you have any idea of its essence or why it is mandatory ? Baptism within the Orthodox Church takes an essential in salvation. There are many differences between the Methodist Church and the Orthodox Church. Baptism is performed acc…

There are grammatical errors and whole sentences missing .. an example would be Psalm 50.

Baptism within the Coptic Church will be essential.

His story is mentioned in the Synexarium because he is a saint whom the Church celebrates his departure and asks for his prayers.

There are lot of errors in the one on remenkimi, but it is a good start.

they were childlike. It's pretty apparent from the Genesis account that they were childlike intellectually. You have not addressed my points in my earlier post. Here they are again: How would God have created Adam in the likeness of His image with …

Timothym The issue here is not the serpent. The issue is that Adam and Eve understood what death is and yet chose to disobey God because they believed the serpent. Cephas contends that Adam and Eve had a mind of children and could not understand w…

I guess our disagreement boils down to the state of mind Adam and Eve. Were they children unable to comprehend? Or were they fully grown man and woman? From the Bible story, it is clear that they were fully grown capable of understanding what is to…

Being included in the diptych is not an easy matter. St John Chrysostom was thrown off the diptych for a while by St Cyril, then he was added. The see of Alexandria was fierce in her war against Arianism. If Archillaus was an ally of Arius, he wou…

Adam and Eve were not stupid. They were pure and innocent. Which is why they believed everything they were told. These are qualities a child possess, purity and innocence. They believe everything they are told, even if they are contradictory. Let m…

Pope Archillaus is a saint as he is: 1 - Listed among the congregation of the popes and his name is mentioned every time during the liturgy. 2 - Listed in the Synexarium and the Church asks for his prayers 3 - Recognized by the other Traditional …

[Adam and Eve] believed pretty much everything they were told. God created man innocent and pure but not stupid. If what you are saying is true, the God is unjust and of course this is not so. The believed the serpent more than they believed God.…

Extend this to death, and they did not fully understand what death was. If they did understand death, they would not have believed the serpent and they would not have believed God was tricking them. If you mistrust someone, then you would not care a…

You have a young child. You tell the child, 'Don't play with the knife or you will get a cut.' The child knows they will get a cut, but they don't understand what it means to get a cut. The child defies your 'commandment' and plays with the knife an…

If they truly understood what death was, do you honestly think they would have eaten the fruit? Of course not The problem is that they believed the serpent that they would be like God. In their own minds God was tricking them. They accepted the advi…

The fact of the matter is, while in Paradise, Adam would not die, regardless of his mortality. He was living in the presence of God, who is Life. You cannot die in the presence of Life. Both Sts. John Chrysostom and Athanasius are in agreement on th…

That is not proof of understanding. She is just regurgitating (and adding) to what Adam told her. I am sorry. You are treating Adam and Eve as if they were two year old playing in a garden. Would not Adam had asked God what it means to die or rather…
-
God continued the punishment because He can't exactly go back on His word, now can He. He said it would happen. It happened. You misunderstood or I was not clear. I meant why would God say "you will surely die" if Adam does not understand what it me…

If he was not a saint, he would not be mentioned in the synexarium in the sense that the Church celebrates his departure and asks for his prayers. As to his acceptance to Arius, you need to read about how he accepted him ... it was after confessing…

There is no debate that separation from God is a spiritual death. However, the question relates to Adam's understanding of death. Did he understand death? No he did not. Did he understand the relationship between God and angels? No he did not. Did h…

As I explained before, death is being away from God' presence. This applies to both the angels and man. Satan died before Adam's creation. So the concept of death did exist, and was not something new. Adam must have understood it and thus God's war…

Satan's Standing before God before his fall was not the same as it is after. God banished Satan from his rank and threw him from his throne. This happened to Adam after the fall. God created Adam to be king and ruler over His creation. Adam was th…

Separation from God already existed when Satan was banished from serving before God.
