I understand where you're coming from Marianne, but at the same time, I believe that restrictions do apply. It's not that simple. Sleepy

[quote author=hardyakka link=board=4;threadid=4047;start=15#msg56793 date=1151236083] Hey Coptic Dragon. To begin with the church will not excommunicate someone that marries a muslim. Excommunication in the church was and is always associated with …

Everyone here gave awesome advice as to what to do concerning the meditation of the Bble. Personally, something that I take into account is that it's quality, not quantity. It doesn't matter how much you read, only that you understand what you read …

[quote author=EpNomos EnTaio link=board=10;threadid=4127;start=0#msg57859 date=1153377123] well, i can definitely relate to all this as my parents did the same thing to me and my brother; i am the eldest. It is an incredibly frustrating thing to fee…

Someone help me smooth out the edges because I can feel myself missing some details, but I remember something along the lines of Peter having a dream where he sees animals in front of him to eat and he says that he can't because they're unclean, but…

Then again, we have to remember that it's quality, not quantity. Sleepy

That book is good. I've read it and lent it to some of my friends. Also, there is a second book out by the same author that deals with the issue of courting someone that you plan to marry in the proper way. Sleepy

That is a good idea. I know that you will be able to do it if you really want to. Sleepy

Yes, you understood me perfectly. Sleepy

I agree with a majority of what's being said here, but at the same time, is there no other family member she can turn to at this time? No one who has the power to do something about her current situation? Personally, I'd say talk to abouna and ask h…

Personally, I believe that as long as you don't act on that crush of yours, you haven't done anything wrong yet, however, I heard in a sermon before that the reason the thoughts are wrong are because they are baby sins. When acted upon, they grow in…

Adam and Eve were nude in the Garden of Eden because they didn't know any better, not because they chose to. Once they ate from the tree of knowledge, their eyes were opened and they immediately ran for cover. Also, like Hizz_chiilld said, we are th…

[quote author=PopeKyrillos link=board=12;threadid=3752;start=75#msg57187 date=1151947860] It's sort of like how Christians read the Koran. They read the Koran so they know what kind of things people are reading out there, and so they would be more …

That whole issue about the older siblings being treated better....well, coming from an older sibling of two younger ones, that older sibling went through a lot while you were young. That older sibling was probably responsible for you when they were …

I got that message through an e-mail. We were all sending it around to eachother to make one another aware of what's going on around us. Sleepy

Personally speaking, I'm reading the book because I need to know exactly what's in it to know how to fight against it. It's like the devil. He knows about God, he doesn't know God. He uses that info to be able to combat us in our faith. I'm doing th…

Yea, we have a church prom. It's coming us pretty soon and I think the idea is really neat because you still celebrate the end of high school and have fun with your friends, and at the same time you're in a coptic atmosphere that won't hinder you or…

I know that this year we start the Apostles' fast on the 12th of June and it goes on till July 12th, a full month! lol Sleepy

Personally speaking, when I was a little girl, I thought that the mass was incredibly boring and dreaded going to church on sunday. As I got older, and I learned alhan, and I learned the differences in the tunes and feasts, I grew to love it, and no…

Well look at deacons. Are there married deacons? I believe that it's the same thing however there are some things that women can't do because of tradition. In our church, we have a group of a few girls who stand up front on the girls side and we are…

I believe LostEgPrincess was talking about secular music. If the music doesn't influence you in a bad way then you're good to go. There's a story that I heard from Bishop Sourial at ECCYC and it's about a frog in a boiling pot. Has anyone else heard…

I've never lived in Jersey City, but Bergen is my church. I love that church, and even though my parents want to visit other churchs, I tell them to leave me at Bergen and they can go because I love my church so much. Abouna Dawoud and Abouna Souria…

Good to have you here seeking! You're going to get addicted before you know it. Congratulations on finding Orthodoxy in your life. May God guide you to continue more and more. sleepy

[quote author=MarMar91 link=board=4;threadid=463;start=15#msg8125 date=1091374787] i really really like what u said, i think i heard it somewhere before [/quote] I think we heard that at ECCYC. lol sleepy

I totally agree with that Chipsy. It's all the same and the consequences are all the same. The wages of sin is death. Did anyone here ever hear that whenever you sin you add one more nail to Jesus's hands and legs, or another gash to his side, or an…

Good point though. Anba David gave us a sermon about it before. sleepy
