  • Father Peter, I don't mean to be argumentative, but how does the creation show God's love for us? Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me.
  • I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree with you on this one. Yes, God loves us, but that isn't a reason for creating us. I'm not quite sure how to explain what I mean, but He existed before us and will exist eternally and has never (nor will he ever) …
  • Do you know of any way I could do this on my computer? I know this makes me sound a little behind with the times, but I don't have an ipod or an iphone! Thanks.
  • Wow! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! To be honest, it's not really me that writes these poems but God's grace that works through me. Before I write anything, I pray that God use me to praise His name. You…
  • aww... thanks marmar! This means the world to me :D Does anyone else have any positive criticism, comments, suggestions, or questions?
  • lol you are very coherent... don't worry. yes, we are suffering because of our sin, but why did God have to create us to begin with, knowing that we will sin? He gave us free will after He created us, but He didn't need to create us to begin with,…
  • I don't know why but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. Why did God create us to begin with? The answer I keep getting is that He did it because He loves us, but if He loves us, why did He put us in a world of pain and suffering?
  • haha... I love your analogies, Mabsoota!!
  • Thank you John and Mabsoota. I'll have to look into that first question though because I'm getting very curious about it!
  • that is a good point that you bring up actually. Thank you!
  • ohh... I get it now! thanks :D ... but 7 is not a multiple of 2 so one of the animals would've gone by itself. I realize that this is not a big deal but people use these verses to support their argument that the Bible has some contradictions and so…
  • Thanks jydeacon! I still don't understand the part about the Tree of Life though. They didn't have to sin, but God already knew that they were...
  • Thanks for the clarification!
  • That's a good way of looking at it, Tony. Thank you.
  • anyone?
  • Thanks for your support, Tamoura76! Does anyone have any answers?? Thanks
  • I heard a story that goes like this: A guy who had been baptized in the Coptic faith left the church and converted to Islam. During his funeral procession, St. Mary appeared and took his myroun. She said that anyone who isn't with Jesus should not …
  • I don't think I worded my question properly. I meant to ask about the second part of the verse, where it says "Christ and God". Why does it separate the two? How should we explain this part to someone who's skeptical about the Trinity, for example, …

  • With all due respect, Ioannes, I do not recommend taking Provigil without a physicians recommendation for several reasons: 1. It does not cure sleep disorders, it makes you lose your sleepiness. So it acts almost like caffiene, which is not benefici…
  • I've never tried amazon before... is it reliable? Thanks for all your help!
  • Thank you for all those ideas, but does anyone have anything directly from books written by forefathers or by clergy members? thank you.

  • Hi, First, I'd like to welcome you to this site. I hope you enjoy it and benefit from it as much as we all do. Second, I would like to ask you to clarify if you could, please. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you mean. Thank you.
  • Thank you! The problem with that is that S&H is usually much more expensive than the book itself. I once tried to order books from there, to which the total was approximately $20 and S&H was almost $30!! I'm not sure why it's so expensive si…
  • The best thing to do is to tell the prof. You'll just get new equipment and most likely pay for the broken equipment (you can split the cost or maybe your partner will cover it all because he was the one handling the equipment). That's the worse tha…
  • jydeacon, do you know where I could get that book? I feel so lost with everyone discussing this and I really want to learn more! thanks
  • TITL, lol I liked your "God's deliverance" thing... very clever. I wouldn't have thought of that one at all! I don't think your last interpretation is correct, though. I know the number 5 is used to represent humanity. Abanoub, I believe that verse…

  • You all have such knowledge of the Coptic language... God Bless! How can I learn about the Coptic language? Are there any books you would suggest reading? thanks.
  • I like your suggestions Gracia! Thank you so much and welcome to this forum :)
  • Father Peter, Thank you for your patience with me. I know that sometimes what I write does not correspond with what I mean to say. I do pray regardless and I do ask God to bring me closer to Him, but I don't want prayer to consist of just words. I…
