  • LOL that was awesome! that guy got upset towards the end lol. his way of coping with a loss is to say that YOU are the one who disagrees with him. its pathetic. lol Good job!
  • You have all failed to mention that Pope Shenouda rides in his private jet virtually anywhere. I think that in itself is a great service to the Coptic community.
  • Matthew 15:11 "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." If we treat our fasting as a mere diet change, then we are not fasting. If we worry only about every last derivative of every ingredien…
  • Our Lord fasted as an example to us. He fasted before He began His ministry on earth to show us that without fasting and prayer our life and work will not be fruitful. Hope I helped. Please pray for me.

  • Thanksgiving is probably the only American holiday that has a Christian background. The Church Fathers obviously never spoke about it since Thanksgiving began as an American Holiday about 300 years ago. There is nothing wrong with celebrating Thanks…

  • technically piracy is not stealing. Stealing means taking the original, ex: stealing a car means taking a car that someone owns. Piracy is only making a copy of the original, I wouldnt mind if someone pirated my car because my car would still be the…
  • Most important books to read: On the Incarnation by St. Athanasius (SVS Press is the best translation) Life of St. Antony (Coptic and Greek) by St. Athanasius Sayings of the Desert Fathers (Alphabetical Collection or by Topic) other awesome books:…
  • Honestly it depends on who you are. It would be better if some people didn't go to college because when they go they become corrupted. But for others, you see your surroundings are not good most of the time and you are now mature enough to understan…
  • Think about this: What is prayer? What is the purpose of prayer? Our prayers do not affect God, nothing affects God because He is beyond and above all. But out of His love for us, He hears our prayers. Why then would we need to pray in any other la…
  • Why should wonder who the living saints are? Did not God say "Be holy for I am Holy"? Therefore it is our duty to be holy (saints). One of the Early Fathers said that humans are the ONLY creation commanded to be Holy. We need to focus on ourselves a…
  • 1.there are no clear cut stages because the fact is that everyone is different and we all grow differently physically and spiritually. Some people repent because of their love toward God, some repent because of fear of judgement and punishment, and …
  • thanks for that i really appreciate it
  • we are not "customers" in a store, but rather we are "patients" in a hospital! and the True Physician (Our Lord) is the one in charge so why should we complain about the nurses (priests) who do not speak the native language?! If we trust in Our Lord…

  • we should be working and praying and asking God to remove certain sins that are obvious for us. once we remove the obvious ones, the less obvious sins will emerge. The closer we come to God the more we see ourselves as sinners. God Bless
