@ Zoxsasi I am not sure if quoting Dr. Ravi Zacharias, a protestant teacher, as the best resource is accurate. Are there really not Orthodox resource from Oriental or Eastern Orthodox that answer this questions? In Christ, Theophilus.

@ReturnOrthodoxy @cyril Yes Dostoevsky said "true beauty will save the world." May I add another quote by Dostoevsky "there is only one face in the whole world which is absolutely beautiful: the face of Christ," and "the incarnations [is] the epip…

What is this I hear of leaving the Coptic church? I thought this was a call to arms, a call to dig in and brace ourselves for the long haul. Not a call to capitulate but to proclaim Contra Mndum. Yes Contra Mundum even if only a singe one of us is h…

Return Orthodoxy I loved the movie Ostrov too. But I wonder how many people will be content with reading subtitles to watch an Orthodox movie. I am sure as the second largest group (after Roman Catholic) there are a lot of Orthodox movies out there…

My Coptic priest told me that it's mandatory to have the icon of Christ inside the altar to pray the liturgy. Sorry that's all I got. In Christ Theophilus

According to the lists above these words the Coptic language have in common in Tigriniay or Amharic or both. Having anything in common with Copts makes me mabsoota :D ;) Sett (Amharic)- Coptic for woman Fouta (Amharic)- Coptic for towel Taboot (Am…

I believe I read somewhere that the clergy can not slaughter animals, i.e. take life, cary guns or kill another person even in self defense. The clergy can not serve in the army as a soldier.The clergy are held to a higher standard. Example they can…

"The double-headed eagle is the symbol of the Byzantine Empire, and that symbol carried through to Russia. One eagle represents church, and one the state. The symbol shows the synergy between both. Then, as now, there have been both benefits and dra…

Don’t quote me on this but I believe this idea was originally proposed by the Founding Fathers of the U.S.A in order to protect the church from corruption by the state. OO churches where Orthodox Christians are majority, e.g. Ethiopia and Eritre…

Remnkemi, I agree with much of what you said. I think we have bought into a false dichotomy too. I am reposting the following from another trend:

Guys I have a question: It was my understanding that St. Mary was purified from all sin including Ancestral Sin, at the moment that the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. But if this is the case there are two problems: 1. Then how can Jesus " assumed fa…
