When they wanted to move the Mokattam mount, fasting was for three days with no food. I just wanted to point out the fact that it was not simply eating vegan all day. Also, fasting is one wing with which one can't fly with. You need two wings. There…

I'm pretty sure that he is not in Hell. But he is definitely not everywhere. There are demons in many places, but just like saints and angels, they can only be in one place at the same time. Only God can exist in more than one place at a time. Satan…

I think being a Psychiatrist would really be best if your very interested in the field. Even if you don't like Medicine and Biology/Anatomy, just chug it for the few years of med school till you graduate. Being a Psychiatrist (in my opinion), is the…

Something like this?

Technically speaking, the celibate priest could be ordained a bishop if the holy synod agreed to it. On a more drastic level, Pope Abraam the Syrian, the 62nd Coptic Pope (recall the story of Saint Simon the Tanner), was ordained from a normal layma…

Mina, We're not applying anything at all whatsoever to our time. If you look at the original question, Gregory was entirely referring to the jews of Christ's time, as was I. PK

Alright, but did I use the bible improperly in my first post? What did I say that was incorrect or contradicting of the bible? PK

Although you should say both the long intro and long verses for the feast together, that is not the case at all in many churches. I have heard many who just skip and go right into the verses for the feast. I could be wrong however in saying that the…

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stiff-necked Stubborn-Haughty. That goes in pretty much hand-in-hand with what I posted before. PK

I would have to agree with Amoini being said on Saturday night. Otherwise, on vespers like the Eve of Palm Sunday, there would be a clear contradiction between saying tenousht and the verses of the cymbals for Palm Sunday. I think that some churches…

So my question then would be, why in "Agios Athanatos Nai Nan" on Bright Saturday do we call them "stiff-necked"? PK

There are a couple different reasons for why the jews in Christ's time are criticized so highly of their stubbornness. First off, the idea of someone performing miracles or wonders without the help of God, was quite rare and almost nonexistent. Also…

I heard she was appearing throughout all of Cairo yesterday, in Old Cairo and even in Upper Egypt. Some people went up to the roof of their apartment buildings and could see her.... I think this is the biggest apparition thats happened yet. It's ama…

Although there are major differences between us and the Catholics, nevertheless, our church recognizes them as an apostolic church. Every age needs to act according to the present circumstances. There was a time when all Christians were either East…

Btw, I dont like the use of the terms "Coptic Communion" and "Catholic Communion." The different breads and wine on each altar become the same body and blood of Christ, no difference. The differences between communion of different churches is only i…

I dont think there is anything a Coptic priest can do without the individual becoming baptized and going through confession/repentance. Many priests probably wont know what to do considering this is a once in a lifetime situation for any priest. Als…

Im talking more in the aspect of, hey, here is $100, stab me to death. I dont think thats euthanasia, is it? And like I said, does the church put a wall between this scenario (assisted suicide) versus if the person were to kill themselves? PK
-
So assisted suicide is the same fate as suicide for the victim? PK

I haven't looked here for one but check it out, they might have it. http://coptictonia.tripod.com/ PK

http://books.google.com/books?id=hb0AAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA149&dq=Coptic+Orthodox+Church&lr= The information in this book seems pretty weird. Can someone briefly go over this? Did in fact Dioscorus follow Eutyches in his heresy as a patriarch? …

I am almost certain that in the early church, priests were allowed to marry as well as bishops. However, the marriage of bishops was later on ruled out. So the marriage of priests is in fact traditional. This is just one of those things the catholic…

[quote author=Of All Nations link=topic=7729.msg101390#msg101390 date=1238381620] I have a question that is slightly off topic... During the midnight praises (tasbeha) we commemorate the saints and we ask for their intercession and prayers. For exam…

My suggestion is to tasbeha fully in english. Some of the youth can get really frustrated when A) They dont know what they are saying in Coptic B) They can't read Coptic all together and are just standing for hours saying nothing The English Midn…
