Not wearing the proper clothing in Orthodox Church is not a 'small priority'. In our Coptic Church if u forget your head covering there are plenty of extras on hand behind the veil!

Is there a spiritual reason that none of the women at the funeral are covered? It also seems to me that many women are now uncovered at services in Egyptian Coptic Churches. Is there a spiritual reason/instruction for this new custom?

Yup, u answered your own question :) Start working out, join a good gym, one that builds stamina not those that give pills and drinks and starve you! Take your Agpeya with u for times u may have to wait for a particular exercise machine or someth…
Hi Cyril!
Of course the body is easy to understand and explain bcuz, as u know it is our flesh which we experience with all 5 of our senses! Then as Orthodox Christians we learn about the Holy Spirit which is a gift from God. The Comforter sen…

I deleted my post. Wasn't relative and did not make sense.
Thought this youtube debate was a bit interesting though.
I just wonder why it is never a debate between an Orthodox Christian and a Muslim.......guess we are having one now :)

It may take many unctions of the sick before healing is complete. We need to stop thinking of Gods Ways as extreme and what; means ways are safe?

Theophilus 1 please do not interpret the Scriptures to suit yourself. The Scriptures differentiate between healing diseases and casting out demons it is not the same.
Yes we all carry demons thats why we need to stay in constant prayer to keep the…
I wasn't being rude. I am very serious about this. People have really lost their way! Don't we have a Christian history of people being tormented by the Devil. Didn't Christ Himself exorcise many demons from many people. Read the Holy Bible! This wa…
It is a constant struggle binC. Resistance to temptation is a constant struggle. It is sinful to be arrogant and full of pride; yet so many of us fall prey to it.
The original sin was committed when the Devil tempted Eve to forget her humility to Go…
Thank u very much Remnkemi. I did not think Ahab and Hannibal's life times where the same, but since Ahabs tiime was also a time of the worship of Baal, was just wondering if there was any relation. I know idol worship has existed through many centu…
Thank you for the inspiration irishpilgrim. I do not feel worthy of these discussions; I hope to one day be, but:

If we take it a step farther, one will notice that of all the female transvestite monastic saints (there's about 20), none of them were ordained priest. Even St Thacla, who…

So, the main reasons is that it was never done before, despite women being also holy, this was not seen in the OT , hence we do not do that?
Is that about it?

All I asked was "Why do u watch it" I'm not treating u inhumanely; although I do feel what u said about those poor victims was inhumane.
