  • Those are Congregation responses...
  • I agree with what everyone has said but just as a side note...If someone wins the lottery and decides he/she should give someone money to the church...dont even try the church wont accept that money
  • actually its not really that "pocket size" haha...but you can still carry it around but if you give me you send me your address and all that info i can see what i can do for you....im from the CT church
  • Actually I kind of agree with you QT...if you look at the readings of the church during the week or 2 before Nayrouz you find that most of the readings are about the end of times...maybe God allowed this to happen around this time as a reminder...
  • Let me be honest I can LOVE a english liturgy but when the priests arent fluent in english or have an accent it affects me personally i dont know about others but me personally i dont like it because frankly it doesnt sound good.
  • ok but what if a saint appears and they say nothing about after? i know im thinking it overboard but ya3ni
  • No we don't and I don't think they would. It's not that I don't want to use english and its just growing up your parents are teach us be proud of your Coptic Egyptian heritage and I don't want Coptic to die out. The older generation tells us to be p…
  • Yes I am in the US well some parents would go but probably most would leave their kids and then it would be baby sitting. Well we try to Evangelize but sorry to say this but Egyptians are not willing to open up they are only comfortable with their "…
  • ok minagir thats what I said but when a Saint randomly appears to you...you shouldn't be going around saying that a Saint appeared to you it can cause another person to look at you and say "Who does he/she think he/she is for a saint to appear to hi…
  • You're scared for the churches in Egypt??? I am scared for the churches here in the U.S. I see so many coptic youth going away from church and im scared about the future of the church in america BUT I know God will never abandon His church
  • I personally think that the Icons of saints should be on the back and the Cross in the front except for Jesus Christ and St. Mary
  • wow from AUD to US $... thats really expensive
  • me tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  • Here is the thing with our church if a Our Lord Jesus Christ or Virgin Mary or any of the Saints appear to you, you should only tell your Father of Confession so he knows you should not go around boasting and say that a Saint appeared to you. The on…
  • well i wouldn't say Tamav Ireny and Baba Kyrillos are prophets they are saints to me a prophet is someone who prophesizes something about God
  • I heard you have to order it with arabic channel package
  • yea the cross is in the front and Baba Kyrillos is on the back ive seen a lot of tounias with other saints but if you get a St. Mary one its in the front and I've seen one with Jesus Christ on it
  • Here is the difference between the the U.S.A. and Egypt. If you look at the USA you see that it is well advanced in media, technology and so one. But the KEY thing about the US is that to me I see that the US is becoming very Liberal quickly. In Egy…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7837.msg101787#msg101787 date=1239642086] The men are not deacons, and yet they read. [/quote] But they are deacons they're just not wearing their tonias like in a3shaya and baker. The Mangalia is outside the Alt…
  • [quote author=petroc link=topic=7775.msg101348#msg101348 date=1238174779] I feel that i should approach this with extreme high honor and a great deal of instense respect. [/quote] I am glad you said this many times people become deacons with out…
  • No because that person in a form is commiting suicide. Here's what's wrong with pulling the plug. One, it's another form of suicide and in our church suicide is wrong because it is not up to us when our life should end but up to God. Two, the person…
  • Do you mean serving inside the altar as the deacons who are serving in the altar with Abouna?
  • So are you basically saying that Cain, the people from Sodom and Gomorrah and all the rest of the people that died before Christ did on the cross who were bad were not taken out of hades?
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7713.msg100913#msg100913 date=1236790868] Yeah, I heard the same thing. I don't know why he does that. I don't think Mo3alim Ibrahim really understands Coptic anyway. [/quote] OK so I'm a personal fan of Ibrahim Ay…
  • I am glad you have asked this question because now in these modern days people think it doesn't take that much to get into heaven and they think it's a walk in the park. To me  I think to go to heaven you have to follow the sacraments but not all of…
  • Im not sure if this is correct or if it is wrong but I think Angels have free will like we do. If this is true ill get into it more but I do not want to continue unless i know if that is correct. Pray for me
  • So when we say Christ is the word of God is it meant literally?
  • Exactly couldn't agree more with christianlover...your friends should bring you closer to God not take you away from him. When you meet a new person and you want to become friends with him/her and your getting to know this person ask yourself will t…
  • Christianlover why are you so mad? The Bible is the best way to answer questions and actually the question was: [quote author=ServentofGod link=topic=7639.msg100249#msg100249 date=1234575405] Does that mean that I am weak in faith? please advice me…
  • I agree with copticcross3 we 1st need to understand what lust is. Lust isn't nessecarily the desire to have sex with another person. It means to want that one other person, to desire that other person. Here is a quote from an article by H.H. Pope S…
