copticlovin, welcome. Your post is quite strong. I do not know if I would classify anything that was said as hating on other churches, or jealousy, or any of that...
-
Specifically, Cleveland, OH. It was said that the clergy member MUST give absolution. Interesting.
-
Interesting. This goes in contrary to what is being taught in Sunday Schools. Anyone care to explain why?
-
I did not mention when, I just mentioned that he has to.
-
Abouna is obliged to give you absolution, no matter what.

Now, whether or not God will count the sin against you depends on whether: a. You are truly, deeply sorry and really ask God's forgiveness; and b. You vow to never (or rather, try your absolute hardest) commit the sin again.
-
You are forgetting that God still remembers what they did... If you mean that they confessed the sin, and so they would not get punished by God later, then at that point it is your turn to forgive just as God forgives all.
-
I would like to add, as far as confession, that we have to remember that during confession, our sins are transferred from our account to the Lamb's account. From there, when It is sacrificed and we partake of the Holy Communion, we are COMPLETELY AB…

If it is for security purposes, then St. Antony's would definitely be the best bet.
-
Well, there is St. Antony's Monastery in California.
-
Well, I thought your priest said that you are ready? If so, I am guessing that he will be the one to baptize you at your local church.
-
Congrats, welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Church. However, you are far from being 'finally done'...rather, you are just beginning.
-
I think he means that you quite simply failed to prove the dangers of Coptic.
-
With regards to communion: yes, we can partake of communion in the B.O.C. as it falls under the jurisdiction of H.H. Pope Shenouda III.
-
Who don't you just do the Holy Psalmody in the language that you prefer? Don't discourage those who do it in Coptic...from the way you talk, you make it seem completely and utterly useless.
-
I think you are actually debating between continuing in the True Path or giving up. You decide.
-
You must realize that what you did, in all likelihood, left a massive emotional scar on her. Give it time...it might take a while, so be patient.
-
You can read about how Arius died on Wikipedia.
-
By your logic, you are saying that all the Biblical scholars who study the New Testament in Greek didn't actually learn Greek, because they did not hold conversations in it. As far as "And finally, if Teoi Enhikanos means "u are worthy" - what does…

I would like to add what my father of confession said with regards to this issue... The goal is to draw clear lines around what you want to avoid, and maintain those boundaries. Of course, no physical contact would take place, but if you know and t…

Explain "about me being mean and angry". What specific issue brought about those words?
-
I intend on being there, God willing.

I have heard that H.H. will be in Cleveland, OH for two months.

joe, Thanks for the recognition, but I do not deserve it. I have learned far more from you than you have learned from me. Always remember me in your prayers! Severus

Coptic pharaoh, just out of curiosity: how old are you?
-
The best thing to do is to MAKE SURE HIS PARENTS KNOW. They can discipline him from there as they deem fit.
-
That way of parenting in this country leads to disaster later on. Just keep trying to convince him. Get Abouna, his Sunday school teacher, and his parents involved, no matter if you think they will care or not...at least then, you can say you did y…
