I will certainly pray for you. The more I study and learn the more I am coming to believe that the COPTIC Orthodox church is the only Orthodox church to be in!
Thanks. I love Ancient Faith Radio and frequently listen to some of their pod casts Sadly, this young lady is a Russian citizen married to an American. She has been in the US for almost 10 years and is younger than my daughter. I love her dearly…
You apparently KNOW me! Are you a member of my church? (just kidding. But you have described where I am mentally at this time as if you actually KNOW me!
I can tell you that young lady does NOT accept ANYTHING unless it is 100% ok'd by the Eastern branch of Orthodoxy! I tried to explain to her that the "Core " beliefs are actually the same-it was a misunderstanding in the wording or phrasing (which …
Hello my precious friend! Though I am old enough to be your grandmother and my life has been somewhat different from yours, I can 100% understand the emotions you express because I live with pretty much the feelings every day! I will pray for you …
This is probably not the right discussion for this question but maybe it is. A young Russian Orthodox friend of mine recently told me that Copts are NOT Orthodox-that only EASTERN Orthodox can correctly use that title! That seems absolutely ludicr…
Thanks. I think that I am apparently one who should not be a member of any particular faith. For my entire 66 years of life I have been trying to "find God" and find a faith or church where I "fit in." And my earliest memory of the protestant chu…
PS. I'm still trying to put everything into proper perspective. I like what you said about it being a love song. It is a long song to God. I was not advocating that it be sung in church during liturgy it's something I play at home to give me com…
Ok. But exactly what does this song say that would NOT be considered appropriate in Coptic worship? I am truly trying to understand. It praises God and asks him to stay with us and guide us in His way. And it does not have one of those loud holy…
I only watched the first video here, but on another post I was told the song "no don't leave me alone" is part of these "prostestant songs"? I play it every day and I cannot see anything in the words or tune that would say it is a "protestant" song…
Although I am literally old enough to be your GRANDMOTHER, I very much identify with what you are saying. All my life, I have seen this kind of behavior with people of all ages in the protestant denominations. Some of them actually have the audaci…
to Ioannes: I am a mix of Scotch, Irish, English, Dutch and German ancestry. You don't know me but I just about guarantee that if you DID you would rethink about Egyptians being the most hard headed! I give new meaning to that phrase!
OK. Just the very WORD evangelical repels me because I am so very much against most of the prominent evangelicals who are so involved with modern politics,etc. I find them to be some of those most bigoted people around. I probably gravitate so m…
Thanks. I have had a life long struggle with religion and a search to "find God." I have never agreed with ANY protestant denominations even though that is what I was brought up in. And for over 2 decades I had NO affliliation with ANY orga…
I know, but the Eastern Orthodox that I know are all telling me you do NOT! In my research into this matter-which is really new-I agree with the Copts that you DO have the same beliefs! I guess I used the wrong terminology when I said the BELIEFS…
Thanks. I am actually a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church( for 3 years now) but have recently become aware of the Coptic Orthodox church and the more I read and see (I have attended 2 Coptic Liturgies and have watched several Coptic Orthodox se…
I did not watch this video but I recently read a news story by evangelicals saying Copt s are not Christians! I think the entire group of them needs to take a course in religious history! Most seem to be of the opinion that Christianity was founde…
I will pray for you and ask you to pray for me also! I,too, have chronic illness and although my house is paid off it is OLD like me and with my low income I frequently worry about being able to continue maintaining it.
