Hi Guys, having a debate with an oriental orthodox, please see below. The bolded parts are his responses.
Coptic attitude?
Who said that I was Coptic?
I have identified merely as Oriental Orthodox. The Coptic church is not the only Oriental Orthodox church.

Cite your sources. All of the ones I have seen so far have identified there being 300,000 members of the CofE and 900,000 of the Uniate Chaldean church.Originally Posted by Christ's_Warrior

Quote:What does it matter? Theodore of Mopsuestia is the real author of the Nestorian heresy, so the person of Nestorius is rather irrelevant.Originally Posted by Christ's_Warrior

Quote:Word games. Your Christology is that of Theodore of Mopsuestia, which is heretical.Originally Posted by Christ's_Warrior

Quote:I don't hate you. You assuming that I hate you because I think you are heretical and not part of the Church of Christ just goes to show how irrationally you are thinking.Originally Posted by Christ's_Warrior

Quote:Many churches founded by the Apostles have fallen away from the Apostolic faith.Guys, can someone please please please articulate response for me as I am not sure of the historical background of these issues, God Bless you.
