Dear Bishoy, God bless your zealous heart. You are searching for the truth and it is very respectable. Your understanding is correct. It is incorrect to claim the humanity at one time and the divinity at another. Those who explained such answers to…

@quinas, As long as the person in question is doing all this under obediance to a father of confession, communion is without a doubt permitted. If it was done without the obediance to a confessional father, then explaining the later will most certa…

@Lovejoypeace_ Submission is often looked at in a very degrading way in this modern era. Yet, in spirituality, there is nothing more powerful. Obedience is a huge HUGE aspect of our spiritual lives. In an ideal world, everyone has someone to subm…

Monastiscm is a very difficult decision. To consider monastiscm someone considering it needs several things. First, they need to have lived the life of a monk in the world. I.e. Observed similar canons with the guidance of their father of confessi…

Dear CopticCross, I pray all is well with you. God be with you in your efforts. Dating, in the coptic church, has to have the potential prospective of marriage - not meant for fun, nor just " I like him/her, let's just see what happens". The bes…

We are all sinners Hiten. Do not be despaired of your weakness. Ashamed, sure. Despaired, never. It is never too late. Think right-hand thief who during his last breath was saved. Why else did Christ take flesh, be crucified, and be risen? Is it not…

Awesome!! Thanks, well done. Next step, fix mobile responsiveness? (A) The home page on the iPhone 6, is not taking the full width of the page. Only the video. Is that only me?

@sirlanky1990, there is nothing dogmatic about this mistake and does not remove or change much in the story that is agreed. I, however, believe our hymns always has a high level of credibility. Finding any type of minor mistake need to be corrected …

A good read is "For the life of the world" by Alexander Schemann. He specifically explains why it is a process during the whole liturgy which is the process of our Ascension to Heaven (at least that's what I understood from his writing).

@minatasgeel - any hope for a fix?
-
@PopeKyrillos1971 You are correct by saying not all teachings are approved. However, Origen's explanations are accepted in our church. I do not know Tertilluan so I usually do not read his commentaries. You will find many explanations from St. John…

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture. You can find a good set of extracts on google books: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=ancient+christian+commentary+on+scripture&oq=Ancient+Christ To buy the actual books, you can find many pl…

Thanks for the referal @qawe. Does he have something in place? Or is it in referral to coptic world?

I've seen coptic world and it seems great, but still under development. It's current features are not sufficient for us at this time...

@WithJesusWeThrive I pray all is well with you. I suggest that your first step be to talk about this with your father of confession. He can tell you, first whether you are spiritually ready for a serious relationship and second, how to approach your…

@Zoxsasi, Agreed, I did not directly answer your inital question. I was trying to address certain of your comments that you explained was the reason for your question. To address your hatred/non-hatred for muslims, I was not concerned that you hate …
-
@Zoxsasi, Many muslims are good people. Faithful to what they know to believe. Any faith that does not preach the love of our Lord Jesus Christ is flawed. They all will end up persecuting Christians. Islam in its fundamentals, preaches a lot of Chri…

3. Abba Daniel said, 'At Babylon the daughter of an important person was possessed by a devil. A monk for whom her father had a great affection said to him, "No-one can heal your daughter except some anchorites whom I know; but if you ask them to do…

I am not saying you must kiss his hands. I'm saying it doesn't matter. What matters is we keep Christ in our eyes and our inner most being, such that we look for Christ in anyone. John 13:14-17 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your…

The homeless person you meet in the street is Christ. Be conservative and treat everyone as Christ.

@Remnkemi, please don't misunderstand me, I wasn't supposing you encouraged disobediance to the canons - neither am I for that matter. As I mentionned, obediance to our church is necessary to approach communion. I was wondering however, the history …
-
I have had this in my mind for a while now. Remnkemi, I must agree with you, but understand the concept that we are all under obediance to our church who does guide us to essentially fast before communion. I, however am curious as to where is the or…

Coptic_girl, It is sad to hear that your church has been unable to filter through the "nasty people" and make you see the Lord in the church nonetheless. Feeling fellowship and unity is of primordial important to our orthodox church. We must be of o…

I have heard certain people say that, willingly/knowingly it is possible to have lived life without sin - but we we all sin unknowingly due to our corruptible nature - if even unknowingly we do not sin, then, what higher perfection is there? And no …
-
This is too confusing :) If Saint Mary, or any other person (such as Saint John the Baptist, as Saint Athanasius claims) is sinless, then where is the separation from God? Is not sin = separation from God, and separation from God, sin (as referred i…

The links I provided was to show two things. First, that Saint Mary was in need of salvation.Second, that biblically "He protected her and overshadowed her. She, with the power of the Holy Spirit, kept herself pure and holy. "And the angel answered…

Yes and no. Yes, God does judge based on the heart. No you should not count on that. Not that he won't, but that you shouldn't judge whether your heart had good intentions or not. At which point, a person can find himself never in need of confessing…

It is tough. Although, this is just my personal opinion, I believe this includes wars. How do I explain wars in the old testament? I would explain it in a similar fashion as we do with answering the question of 'how come men had many wives and concu…

I understand what you are saying. And I don't want to say it's wrong, because it conflicts me. I have read an interesting story on the matter that supports your point - nonetheless, it may be my opinion, and I can probably write a 10 page essay with…
