Tim , the Copts do consider themselves Orthodox. The name of their denomination is the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Im aware of the Monophysite Schism after the Council of Chalcedon and that they are Monophysites like the Syrian Orthodox in the Middle East and India. But if these groups consider themselves Orthodox who are we to dispute that!!I am not a Christian Zionist, I am amillennial. The Church is the People of God not the Jews, However they are God''s Ancient People and are beloved for the fathers sake (Rom 11;28)
Gotta disagree with you there, brother. Karl Marx and Scooter Libby aren't loved by God any more than some Armenian that was murdered by Ataturk.
I am surprised that you would dismiss a book just because it was written by a Jew.
I would never do that. But I did a quick google on the author and want something more mainstream. Especially since you are making such a grave allegation.
As regards the Orthodox, if we regard the Roman Catholics as not Christian as many on this board do, we should regard their Orthodox Brothers likewise.
Jacob, if you're not willing to do a half hour worth of study, I'm finished with you on this subject. Please look into it and tell me if monophysites are orthodox. I'm open, I assure you, but I want equal effort on your part!
If you want a more Mainstream author on the subject of Armenian Persecution of Jews, I will get Simon Wiesenthal's book on the Persecution of Jews over the last 2000 years. ( I have been looking for an excuse to buy that book)
BTW Rabbi Marc Angel is an authority on the Sephardim. His book is published by Jewish Lights---a respected Orthodox Jewish Publisher.
