I was somewhat relieved to read from a Church father, St. Jacob Baradeus of all people, a quote provided by Prof. Charmley here: http://christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=41366979&postcount=4 Not only does this allude to Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, but even Assyrian Christians. I...

I do not have access to a lot of his writings, but I certainly have seen RV Sellers and Fr. VC Samuel quote from him. When I get my hands on those books, I will provide more. Until then, here is a letter written by St. Dioscorus provided by Fr. Subdeacon Peter Theodore in another forum: FROM...

Did Anselm (and Aquinas) teach the idea of "infinite sin" or "unlimited atonement" for "unlimited sin" and if so, where? What's the reasoning? If not, then where did this "infinite sin" come from? Do Western "Apostolic" traditions condemn the concept of "infinite sin?" Thank you. God bless.

...for giving me a loving hug. I would give you a lot of blessings if I knew who you were :wave: God bless.

I think this was a very good video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z0BedlSNZI God bless. Mina

A very dear friend of mine who is a devout Roman Catholic told me two days ago in their calendar was St. Athanasius' Day, knowing that he is one of my heroes. I told him, we Copts don't celebrate it until May 15th, but it gave me a reason to celebrate it twice :clap: So, happy belated St...

Many Orthodox have criticized St. Anselm for many things, but there are two things I have trouble with. The judicial concept overall to me is not necessarily a troubling point as many Orthodox make it, but I find two things that are troubling in St. Anselm's beliefs: 1. Infinite Sin 2...

I believe that as diverse group of churches in One Orthodox Church, we should not be limited to just the Coptic Cross faith icon as representative of the OO Church. The OO Church is more than just Coptic. Are there any other crosses that are indicative of your local church that we can perhaps...

One of the moderators of VitD (and TAW) is apparently in the hospital and recovering. This is probably late in mentioning, but if anything, we extend our prayers to RobNJ for a speedy and full recovery. God bless and keep you RobNJ. Mina

http://www.christianforums.com/t2871842 I've always viewed this as one of my favorite threads. I wish this would be a sticky for "thought-provoking Christian concepts." For us Orthodox, we know that Protestants and Catholics are not of the same doctrinal faith with us. Thus, we know they are...

This is for those posts that are in a the middle of a good discussion that I feel it is better that I do not want to interrupt. Perhaps, I'll place future ones here, if the situation has nothing to do with OO's in the first place. This goes out to ShiFuBill...

http://www.christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=27849432&postcount=88 Gabriel, dude, you're awesome. I haven't realized until you named it that the initials of this forum was "VitD." So all of you better get a healthy dose.:thumbsup: God bless. Mina

Hi, :thumbsup: I couldn't send her a private message, but I'm sure she'd be pleased to read this. Thereselittleflower quoted in another forum: ... ... This is the first time I've ever heard you interpret the "co-redemtrx" the way you do. Usually, some Catholics I've talked to were pretty...

Dear Michael, (or any iconagrapher) I was wondering if you know whether there's a "proper" and an "improper" icon of St. John the Forerunner. There's this one icon that causing some controversy in my own church, the icon of St. John depicted as one with angelic wings holding his own head...

A Greek Orthodox friend and I just went last Sunday to this beautiful Church in Beckley, WV. The priest was very kind, and we met all kinds of people from all races. Most of the church congregants are converts from Protestantism, which is an amazing witness. My associate dean is actually the...

I will be gone for vacation and then to school, to which I will rarely have any time online. I ask for your forgiveness for any offences I have caused in the past. I understand I was somewhat aggressive sometimes because of certain issues. In any case, I enjoyed reading posts and sharing my...

I will be gone for vacation and then to school, to which I will rarely have any time online. So I'm seeking your prayers. Thank you for a wonderful time. God bless you all. Mina

On June 8, 2006, Fr. Matta departed in the Lord. From coptichymns.net: He is also the author of numerous books, two of which translated in English and published by SVS Press. May he pray for us among the angels and Holy Fathers. Memory Eternal! Lord, have mercy!:crossrc:
