Let me ask you why those Monophysites in Egypt (which was within the Roman Empire) did not choose to die by the sword of Caesar? Why did they choose life over death? They loved to live that they betrayed the ruler of Egypt who was His Holiness Cyrus, Greek Patriarch of Alexandria (the Eastern Roman Catholic Patriarch) who used the sword to behead heretics. Why did they aid the Islamic invaders to conquer Egypt, rather the choose death by the Byzantine sword?
what are you talking about? :mad: are you saying that the Greek Patriach of Alexandria Cyrus dealt righteously with the Copts by killing them? :mad: what’s wrong with you?

and where did you get your information, that the Copts aided the Islamic invaders to conquer Egypt, from?

Despite persecution, the Coptic Church as a religious institution has never been controlled or allowed itself to control the governments in Egypt. This long-held position of the Church concerning the separation between State and Religion stems from the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, when he asked his followers to submit to their rulers: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'' [Mathew 22:21]. **The Coptic Church has never forcefully resisted authorities or invaders and was never allied with any powers**, for the words of the Lord Jesus Christ are clear: Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.’’ (Mathew 26:52). The miraculous survival of the Coptic Church till this day and age is a living proof of the validity and wisdom of these teachings.”

on top of that, the Coptic Orthodox Church, as well as the other Oriental Orthodox Churches, are **not ** monophsite! They are miaphysite! The Coptic Orthodox Church has never believed in monophysitism!

The Coptic Church has never believed in monophysitism the way it was portrayed in the Council of Chalcedon! In that Council, monophysitism meant believing in one nature. Copts believe that the Lord is perfect in His divinity, and He is perfect in His humanity, but His divinity and His humanity were united in one nature called “the nature of the incarnate word”, which was reiterated by Saint Cyril of Alexandria. Copts, thus, believe in two natures “human” and “divine” that are united in one “without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration” (from the declaration of faith at the end of the Coptic divine liturgy). These two natures “did not separate for a moment or the twinkling of an eye” (also from the declaration of faith at the end of the Coptic divine liturgy).”

I’m not so sure of that guy I have read some of his posts and they seems kind of off the radar.
 
I heard on several talk shows this morning that he will be released. Praise God.

No. Rather, it should be clear to anyone with a brain that the Western media is run by Edom (Atheists, Agnostics, Free Thinkers or polytheists) and not Israel (Christians).

From the Church of course 😃
I think your mad. There is no global conspiracy. You have been reading too many spy novels.
 
As this thread has moved far off topic, it is now closed.

Thanks to all who have participated.
