I look at genesis more like an Origenist in that it’s mostly allegory
-
Refer to St Cyril of Alexandria, specifically his writings about the Nestorian controversy
-
I wrote a slew of books addressing this very issue. You can get them all very cheap on lulu.com under the pen name John Apocalypse.
-
St Cyril is probably who you’d want to refer to about this as he addresses this specifically during the Nestorian heresy.

After being part of the church for 7 years, I cannot understand why anyone would want to be Coptic Orthodox. Its an Egyptian church for Egyptians.

I am not a youth and I left the church, is there a survey for me? Oh, I am not Egyptian so I don't technically count lol.

This whole thread highlights the insanity of the people in the church. Wailing and moaning about divorce but totally cool with the church becoming protestant. Its none of anyones business who gets divorced for what reason, it is between the couple a…

I do not like protestantism in the slightest, but I do find it difficult to be a part of this church. Talking to Egyptians is like talking to a wall, no offense to my Egyptian brethren but you guys are some of the most hard headed people I have ever…

I have posted everytime I have a new book out, I give a link where it can be purchased and even say that I will email them pdfs if they cannot afford it.

Why do you want to get married?

Should I keep writing books nobody reads? LOL My new one even has an introduction written by HG Bishop Youssef and so far only my mom bought one.

For those of you on Facebook please join our group Orthodox Christian Apologists, we are working on putting this group together with the support of Bishops in which we address these issues in the church.

Im not leaving the church I am just frustrated and am looking at all my options. I am in a difficult position as I have a family that I do not want taught that protestantism in the church is acceptable. Not only that its a huge distraction for me.
-
You are right Mina but I am looking out for myself and my family, who am I to effect change? Even Moses in all his wisdom could not change the Pharaohs so what makes anyone think that I or anyone else can? You have to remember it is especially hard …

If we incorporate protestant practice and hymns into the liturgy then it ceases to be divine.
-
I feel as if I have no other choice but to leave and go to an EO church, the Copts seem intent on shooting themselves and I don't want to be a part of that.
-
Mina, songs like "Our God is an awesome God" but the rest I cant remember the names to.
-
Ifahmy, I am not saying, nor did I ever say, that singing a protestant hymn makes you protestant. I am merely saying that this could start a process of protestantization. By singing these songs we validate them and by validating them we are making p…

I have already contacted him and plead for him to come visit but I am not in his diocese so he referred me to a Bishop much closer, hopefully he helps.
-
Look, he said "believe only in scripture" and I want him to find that in scripture, otherwise where is this belief from if not found in scripture? Let him answer.
-
you say "believe only in scripture" can you find that in scripture for me?
-
Why so many insults?
-
There are some serious issues facing the church, thankfully there are bishops like HG Bishop Anba Youssef. We all know that nobody listens in the Coptic church unless you are a bishop.
-
I sent to both of you
-
Anyone interested or what?

I was sorely disappointed, I thought the thread was going to be about protestantism encroaching on our church. Dang!
