من هم ؟
سؤال يحتاج للاجابة ؟
للاسف يتهم البعض الكنيسة القبطية بالتعصب و
ان الكنائس الاخرى ليست متعصبة مثلها و هذا ينم عن جهل واضح او تحيز بلا مبرر
وربما امر اخر ......
و لكن لنرى ماذا تقول كنيسة الروم عن الكنيسة
القبطية
سؤال : هل الاقباط ارثوذكس و ليسوا هراطقة و ان الامر هو عدم فهم و هم
جزء من ايماننا الارثوذكسى ؟ كما قال احد اساقفة الكنيسة
A priest that I know says that the Copts
are Orthodox, that they have been the victims of a theological misunderstanding
by the Orthodox Church, and that they have a valid priesthood. He communes them
and says that they are part of our Faith....You seem to think differently. Can
you explain your position, which this priest says is old and outdated. He gave
me an article by Bishop Maximos of Pittsburgh of the Greek Archdiocese. He says
that Bishop Maximos is a great Patristic scholar and that his word, which
supports the Copts as Orthodox, is final. (M.K., NY)
و كان الرد كما يلى :
ان الاقباط يؤمنون بالطبيعة الواحدة و هذه هرطقة و اسرارهم بلا قيمة و
يجب ان ينضموا للكنيسة الارثوذكسية و للحق معظم الاقباط الآن رفضوا اخطاء عقيدة
الطبيعة الواحدة ........ الاقباط كانوا يوما ما ارثوذكس
من يعتقد ان الاباء او مجمع خلقيدونية كانوا مخطئين فى ادانتهم لعقيدة الطبيعة الواحدة يكون مجدف و متهم بالهرطقة
The Copts are Monophysites and thus
heretics. Their Mysteries are invalid and, should they join the Orthodox Church,
they must be received as non-Orthodox. Indeed, now that most Copts have
rejected the errors of the Monophysite heresy, this is a time for their reunion
with Orthodoxy. Here is a place for true ecumenism. But despite the fact that
the time seems ripe, we must still rest on the Providence of God and restore
the Copts to Orthodoxy in a proper way. One cannot say that he is Orthodox
simply because he believes correctly and recites the Creed. He must be received
into the Church by Chrismation or Baptism. The fact that the Copts were once
Orthodox, fell away, and have now come to right belief is neither here nor
there. Grace does not withstand generations of heresy and separation from the
Church.
Anyone who believes that the Orthodox
Fathers were wrong in condemning the Monophysites, and that the Copts have
always been Orthodox, is guilty of blasphemy against the Church Fathers and the
Ecumenical Synod at Chalcedon, which condemned the Monophysite heresy. He is
also guilty of heresy, in that such a proposition presupposes not only that the
Fathers of the Church were in error and that this error entered into the
conscience of the Church, but that the Orthodox Church has for centuries been
"divided" between the two "families" of right-believing
Orthodox and the supposedly "right-believing" Copts. Moreover, such a
view presumes that our Orthodox Fathers, ignorant of the truth,
"divided" the Church over semantics and over word games.
هل اقباط ليبيا شهداء :
و بمناسبة عودة اجساد شهداء ليبيا , كان هناك
سؤال طرح فى مواقع الروم الارثوذكس
هل اقباط ليبيا هو شهداء ام لا ؟
و كان الرد كما يلى : ( تابعوا التعليقات )
الاقباط ليسوا مسيحين
و هم ليسوا شهداء فى الايمان المسيحى و
لاتنطبق عليهم اية سفر الرؤيا 20 : 4
استندوا على الانجيل و تذكروا ان الاقباط
يحتاجون للتبشير و ليس قبولهم كاخوة شهداء
Copts are not Christians
I had planned to write this earlier and I
saw the Pastor Hall at Pulpit & Pen had written an essay on the exact topic
(linked below). So I'll keep mine brief.
What the terror group ISIS is doing is undoubtedly evil. No person, village, or
region should have to suffer the tortures and terrors perpetrated upon them
like the Islamic ISIS maniacs have done. I want to say, and this will likely be
unpopular, but the 21 Egyptian Coptics that were beheaded recently were not
Christian. Copts are not Christian. They are not martyrs for the faith, they
will not be resurrected to a glorified body in heaven, and Revelation 20:4 does
not apply to them.
Copts have popes, believe verbal confession to priests is necessary for the
forgiveness of sins, worship icons and idols, are highly sacramental and
ritualistic, pray to dead "saints" asking for their intercession of
the living, believe in apostolic succession (from John Mark), have a works
based theology of salvation, and more. Orthodox Coptics are a split-off from
Roman Catholicism. Again, Coptics are not Christians.
There is an outline of what Copts believe
What happened to the 21 Egyptian men on the beach is horrific, but please stand
on the Gospel and remember that Copts are an unreached people group needing
evangelism, not veneration as brother martyrs.

و هذا امر طبيعى و
متوقع و لكن ظل سؤال يحيرنى :
من هم الاقباط الذين
عادوا للايمان الارثوذكسى و تقبلهم كنيسة الروم الارثوذكس ؟
