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:

In which he writes:

Its not the first time someone came here thinking they were Orthodox. there was someone from the British Orthodox Church, a vagante group that had joined the monophosites. If I recal once he figured it out he became Orthodox.

If this guy is interested, he can read our forums and see why we don't consider ourselves Monophysites. Otherwise, I can only pray that God may soften his hardened heart. As a sister church, the British Orthodox has upheld Orthodoxy in the form of Miaphysitism, not the heretical Monophysitism. I don't know how much this can be reiterated.

Finally, I wish he can recall his memory and tell me why this person left Orthodoxy and went to Orthodoxy? Is there a thread this person opened? If I know the British Orthodox well, it is that they uphold the OO fathers and explain every tidbit about EO/OO issues much more than any other Orthodox Church I know. It is a blessing to have them as part of the Coptic Church.

Quite sad that the person left. The British Orthodox is filled with honest God-fearing, canon-following, Orthodox Christian men and women, where there is no deceipt. Instead of being like vagante so-called "Orthodox" liberal deceivers, they decided to join a canonical group of Oriental Orthodox Christian churches, and happily underwent proper procedures for reception.

I pray that those deceptive groups be dispersed, as the Council of Ahithophel was dispersed. The British Orthodox however is no such group, and if the British Orthodox is considered vagante, then you put yourself in a position of condemning the Oriental Orthodox Church, which requires a whole different thread.

God bless.
