sorry for delay in replying, in case the original poster comes back on line, i would recommend a chat with an orthodox priest. this could be by yourself (diving for cover means taking time out from both this guy and his parents) or with him, if you …

oh dear, it looks like u got caught in the cross fire between this guy +his parents. please remember u are just a newcomer to this dysfunctional family, so the fights u see will have a lot of history that does not involve u. i hope this will help u …

there is a set of lessons from 'Christian youth channel' (part of coptic church tv channel) on youtube which are really good. the first is called 'coptic lesson eps 1', so it will not be difficult to find. it does use some language from hymns, which…

which church of east? if it is nestorian, then no. if it is catholic then yes. if u don't know, link us the church website and we will have a look. please also consider the points above about being stronger in faith and close to God :-)

nice reply. always a good idea to ask abouna!

small point, the Father's house is not boring. anyone who thinks it is has missed the point...

sure, it certainly seems we should be in no rush to change the calendar!maybe we should revisit the idea in another 4,000 years...;)
-
i have read it, and you have many good points.the most striking thing for me is the number of years that will pass before the coptic calendar starts to become less acurate, that is it will be about 4,500 years before the feast of the nativity will m…
-
yes, really good points. there could be current issues, so increase yr reading, praying and fasting (if no medical issues) and God will guide u.

also try to avoid going to 30 monasteries in 2 weeks to tick the boxes.go to 1 or 2 and spend a lot of time praying.

may God have mercy on those who departed and comfort their families.may those left behind remember life is short and turn to our Lord who is full of mercy and grace.

the devil and the demons (bad angels) don't want anyone to be Christian. but there are many more angels than demons who help us stay close to God. we have the best life ever when we follow Jesus and He gives us power to follow Him. but we can't succ…

hi george 27 , if u search this website for the synaxarium (story of the saints), you will see that the monothelite cyrus behaved very violently towards our patriarch benjamin 1st and our coptic fathers, so we can see they stood up against his here…

yay! thank God! happy Christmas to everyone in china :)
-
there is a coptic church in japan, maybe they know. stay close to God, pray from agpeya, read the Bible and ask him to guide u. catholic churches in china are under a degree of state control, so may be different to normal catholic churches. God is e…

that's great, thanks!do we pronounce the word for 'was incarnate' 'av-chi-sarx'? i have copied and pasted in into a document, so i should not forget now!

u can't commit unforgivable sin if u are still alive. basically it means dying without repenting. so stay alive! did u speak 2 yr confession father or doctor? share your worries with someone close to you. we all have worries so you should not be a…

hi george27, u r very welcome here. our patriarchs already agreed the division is not a real differance, we just have to work towards greater unity. may God lead us all into all truth :)

u should certainly get OSB, ophadece, u would enjoy it lots :-)

in the original translation it is saints (male plural of the original word) and not holy places, which is the female plural. the septuagint manuscripts (used by orthodox churches) are older than the masoretic ones and more accurate. sometimes church…
