This is ridiculous, the right hand is in no way superior. Handedness is usually caused by difference in brain hemisphere laterality. What hand we use we can have no effect on our capacity to lead good Christian lives. These beliefs are probably ba…

This is an amazing idea. I fail to see what's wrong with it. Caroling during Christmas times is traditional in North America and these guys are putting a Coptic spin to it, singing a beautiful hymn easy to understand for non-Copts. Anyone passing by…

You might be right Ioannes. I'm not sure if you mean Jews are worst than Muslims; I'd still think it is Muslims because of what happens in Egypt, but then again, we've never seen Jews in power over Christians so who knows how bad they could be; you…

I don't if I'd put any weight into this; I've never heard of a mob of Jews burning down a church, slamming planes in a building, blowing supermarkets, etc. I think I'll reserve my judgement based on their acts which (unlike Islam) do not correlate w…

John_S2000, The US never sent any money to the Muslim Brotherhood, the money you are referring to was extra aid after the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. ILSM, I admit that I am disappointed in the results of the elections. I expected the Muslim B…

I still find it insulting, they have millions of mosques all around central Cairo, there's no lack of mosques anywhere in Egypt. Why are they praying in a Christian (albeit not Coptic but still) church?

[quote author=✞Je Nai Nan✞ link=topic=12604.msg148001#msg148001 date=1322254293] I need to see this picture... now! [/quote] Same here, I want to see the picture of the women praying in front of an altar. This is what really concerns me. Even if it …

I have no problem with the Church providing medical aid but if it is being used for prayer in front of the altar as Zoxasi said, then obviously there's a problem. If not, using it for refuge, medical aid, feeding the needy whether Christian or Musli…

This is ridiculous! Our prayer house is a house of God not the Satanic worships of Islam. Either there was a mistake, or they forced themselves in to do so or we should demand an explanation from the priests of that church. There's a millions of mos…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12596.msg147929#msg147929 date=1322089592] I don't support any Muslim regime, including Mubarak. I'm looking at chaos in Egypt, which is intentional. Mubarak was not my happy President of Egypt. I'm still wa…

It's hard to argue with you ilovesaintmark based on the results of the last protests in Egypt but I will say this, I completely disagree with this statement "To the Muslims who are of "open minds", we are just their "pets". They just want to make …

I never said we should not pray. But you must act while asking God to guide you. If not, it is the equivalent of not studying and then praying to get an A+. It makes no sense. And we must care about Egypt, we left for a better life but we must still…

[quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=12555.msg147351#msg147351 date=1320977254] Ok. This has been happening for two long....why are we that stupid to believe that, even if we file this petition, this "1.3 B aid to Egypt" will be cut off?! This will …

What I seem to understand from this whole thread is that although lyrics can be good, the music itself is sinful? How does that make any sense? Many of our hymns originate from ancient Egyptian tunes used to worship other gods and pharaohs? So are t…

Unless it is explicitly explained somewhere in the Bible (don't think it is), I doubt we'd know for sure. Some might say that pain during birth is a result of Eve's sin but truth is we don't really know and anything would be just speculation. If you…

I am sad to see how backward some arguments are here. The Bible was purely created for spiritual purposes; if you decide to only use science according to the Bible then you are going to run into many dead ends. I would've found it hard for God to in…

Any christian must learn dissociate the people of the Church from the Church. If you don't like Copts that should have no impact on your belief; I've had many conflicts with fellow Copts but I've never allowed that to impact my Coptic faith in any w…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11413.msg138357#msg138357 date=1306017720] Ekhrestos anesty DEar all, That's beside the point, but I want to make this very clear: the Egyptian revolution was not related to the brotherhood by any means but the crue…

I'm not at all blaming priests. It just bothers me that someone would donate money to the Church for a sound system while that money could feed a few families in Upper Egypt. Just a few weeks ago at a Coptic Church in a city close to me I saw they i…

Either way, Yoannes learn to go to Church for yourself and ignore others. You're there to pray for your own soul. Raise this issue with a priest and if not, pray for these people and ignore what's going on around you. And to your friend who wants to…
-
The source of this problem Yoannes is that church outside of Egypt has become a social and cultural event because people can't really get that outside of church, and I think that is a problem. A lot of people, specially the youth, come to church to …

[quote author=lightening link=topic=10973.msg132853#msg132853 date=1300060803] wow! these questions make me wonder if i should ever get near an orthodox church... i am really pleased that you guys are bringing to light what it really means to be ort…

To be honest, don't we all have more important things to do than argue about Protestants vs. Orthodox? It is useless, neither will change their mind anyways. And anbapola, you are correct, even if a Protestant wants to ask questions and question Ort…

I already agree with you Yoannes, I just thought in the earlier posts we were condemning many protestants for saying this and doing that I just wanted to remind people that they've still done good things, that's it. That's why I used Jesus' parable …

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10823.msg131730#msg131730 date=1298863083] Servant33, jafarag, Pharoh123, what is most maddening about all of you is your inability to understand. Your willful ignorance of what we are saying. This man, like most oth…

I was just thinking of another example of how Copts often alienate their bothers and sisters but I think you just examplified it Yoannes. By the way, I am fully Coptic and my whole famil…

So let's completely disregard the Christian or not part of this because I'm sure many people here know more than me about this subject. I just want to answer this thread and I want Copts instead of making fun of Protestants and insulting to realize…

I am not saying that which they teach is true or false but they do a lot of the things that Christ asked his followers to do. I am not saying people should convert but it's not like they worship idols and wage war on unbelievers...they do a lot of g…

I find that the response here has been very harsh. Yes I do agree that some Protestant sects are very far from Christianity but a good portion of them aren't so far. Of course, the Coptic church has a better dogma. That said, why judge them so harsh…
