  • I'm only getting this information from Qt2Pt2 from the other "plucking your eye out" string. I made this new string just cuz the other posts got off topic. So i'm not really sure if protestants are using the church, just replying to another member's…
  • wow thanks for all the info. Where do you learn all this? Just books? or is there a site?
  • http://www.geocities.com/remenkimi/ i really like this site. Good luck. And like mina said, you learn more by listening and following along :) Thank you Bishoy
  • Thank you so much Bishoy
  • But protestant groups are already able to use the church at mokataam, (thats wat i was told at the other string)
  • Thats all correct! I guess my questions were too easy :-[ Bishoy
  • You are definitely right. I forgot to mention that the respect metanias could be done to saints, as well as bishops and popes. Now that I think about it though, should we really do metanias to bishops and popes, seeing as how our metanias might pu…
  • No problem GB. I like this topic about allowing protestant denomitations use our churches. I think that if they are just using it to sing, or hold bible discussions; then its OK. But if they use it for preaching purposes, or to hold their own worshi…
  • [quote author=Anba Bishoy link=topic=5560.msg74273#msg74273 date=1184437910] Where in the bible are you talking about? [/quote] Especially in proverbs, Solomon refers to wisdom by using "she" and "her". I am not sure why this is done either.
  • My priest told me there are three types of metanias: 1. respect for the saints 2. repentance metanias (either when you have wronged another person, or when praying to the Lord) 3. worship for the Lord What you say when you do a metania depends on …
  • wow didn't know about the heavy cross thing. Do you know whose rule this was (ie. Roman, Turkish, Arab etc.)? thanks, Bishoy
  • I was hoping to find the audio, but if the text is available too, then what a deal! bii the way lke to yrs ago i sandg this in mi curch choir. thats cool today was the first time I ever heard it, and I liked it A LOT! if ii eva find it, i'll let …
  • I'm sorry, I should have been clearer, when I said "they" I meant the tax collectors, so that the taxed christians would be the only ones getting the tattoo. My Sunday School teacher was the one who told me this, but that was a long time ago, I mi…
  • Hi everyone, I like all the trivia, so here's a couple of questions of my own: 1. Which saint was apologising to the Lord because he had no feet to stand up to pray, and no arms to lift up while praying? 2. At what time in the bible, did EXACTLY 2…
  • I was told that after the invasion of the arabs, they forced the Copts to pay high taxes to remain Christian, and when a person came to pay the taxes, they tattood that person with the cross.
  • this is not a kiahk song, but it is a nativity hymn. I've never heard this song live before, and do not know where to find the rest of the recorded audio. Very beautiful hymn; but I don't know where I can finish it; it might just be the lack of my r…
  • exactly, christ4life, and it jsut gave them more authority; because if u read about The papal city-states and Rome during the Renaissance, it'll say that the pope had tottal control over all power, commerce, and trade going on in those city-states, …
  • sorry...Moab; He cursed Moab because God commanded him to not curse Israel, but bless them instead

  • he didnt consider himself a sorcerer, but to the people of the land he was....which may be an example of how God uses us...but then again, thats not a name to use.

  • during the renessance era, the popes were so infallible, they were sometimes considered more kings of italian city-states more than spiritual leaders of the catholic world...I learned that one in school...so, if they were to keep their position as …
  • numbers 22-24 its when Israel was going to the promised land, and they were passing throught the land of Moab; and Moab "hired" Ballam; a supposed "sorcerer" to curse Israel before Moab went to fight them
    in Magic Comment by bishoykhali August 2005
  • still, no one answered to explain how ballam the sorcerer was commanded by God, and why God asked him to bless Israel and curse Moab instead (story of Ballam and Ballak in the old testament...exodus somewhere...sorry no reference)

  • My opinion is that any person has the potential to become a Coptic Orthodox...and once they see the way of our church, and realize its dogma, and its firm roots in the faith; then they would be convinced that the coptic way is the truth....how they …
  • HELLO!!!!!!! AMEN MEANS "LET IT BE SO" or "so be it" or "truly"
    in Amen? Comment by bishoykhali August 2005
  • but what about the story of Ballam and Ballak? when Ballak asked Ballam the sorcerer to come and curse Israel for him? Was that not magic?

  • They are all good...And I dont think its wrong to sing the passion week songs outside of passion week...as long as you are just practicing for the sake of memorizing, or remembering the hymn...not sing the hymn for the meaning of it
