  • Dear Knowledge That Glows, I would advise you that either you misunderstood what the intent of the advice was or the advice given was corrupt. AP classes are taken in high school to further ones academic knowledge base and for college credit hour r…
  • Zosasi, I think that many of the responses to you by some of the members have been misdirected. The subject of this thread, reading the bible in coptic, is not the problem you face. You have a much more severe problem at your church from what you ar…
  • there is a big population of Indonesians who are muslims. Over 300 million
  • Aghapy least, I think it would be better if we look at the entire context of the passage. This verse is part of the gospel that is read in the 6th hour reading of the agpeya. I think what is meant in this passage is that we, as believers in christ,…
  • The verse that encompasses how we as men should value women and of course marriage is this: Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is to be held honourable among all, and the bed undefiled..." Here are some questions we should ask ourselves. (believe me, I didnt …
  • I think this conversation has lost touch on what we should be talking about. We should not generalize all Coptic/Egyptian people this way. These are our brothers and sisters in Christ. To talk about people and label them in this way is sad to say t…
  • Our first commandment is to Love God with all our mind, strength, heart & soul - (not sure if that's how the actual verse goes but it's along those lines) in other words, OUR ALL. And since love is an action, how can we do this any other way tha…
  • That is a big problem. The separation of people into these cliques are based on the most worldly of things. we are all one church, and if these things are what divide us, than that is an issue. idk, that's what i think. I would like to here what you…
  • The brain can change during life. If certain neurons are more active or are being used more often, they connect better allowing for better recall of information, shape our personality or change our drive related behavior. The brain is open to a lot …
  • I think because long hair is for women. No need for a priest to do this. GB
  • Thanks for the link to the site. This is great. Question "how many grains equals a meal?"
  • Sorry Doubting Thomas, i did not mean to suggest that. You are completely right, God created us with the need for him, no one else. Sorry for the mistake and confusion pray for me GB
  • Yes that is right, Kirmich, they sold their land for the church but when it came to giving it all, they held back part of the procceds. It was as if they were saying this is good enough for God, we will have the rest. Its either you give or you do n…
  • I don't get why we have such a big debate about this topic. To me it seems clear. Every human being wants to live. That's the first point. The second point is, what is the point of living if you do not have someone to share it with. (most of us are…
  • I guess what I was saying was, can people now adays adapt and live if the technology was limited to what we had in the 1600's or would alot of people fail to survive because we are used to our ways of having machinary give us our food? I think pers…
  • E - St. Elaria Quick question. Do they have to be saints? Or can they be biblical people?
  • I guess this is kind of off topic, but here it goes. I have always contemplated in my mind, "what if something happened and all of the technology in the world was destroyed?" Could we remember how things were created from scratch again? Like are we …
  • Actually, most of the time it is not the religion that guides people sometimes. People can associate themselves with a religion and not follow all of the guidance. Just like us, sometimes we are not the perfect examples of coptic orthodoxy in certai…
  • but at the same time i am an adult. Even the Law says i am one.. the problem is.. my father cannot see it. Really? did you all of a sudden grow more mature when you woke up that morning. j/k But you see where I am going with this. That law is not v…
