  • Omonogenees73, Those are intersting questions and there are great responses for them here. The answer to your last question though is: Niether Psalis nor Doxologies are said during Liturgy. The doxologies are said during the offering of incense …
  • Kristina123, Welcome to the site.... You ask very intreging questions indeed. Don't know if there are defentive Answers to the first one at least. But I think your question is about her Body verses where she is currently. Just like God did not s…
  • Mazza, GREAT breakdown of the week. Just a few additions. Monday: The fig tree represents people in general not just Jerusalem who look rightious on the outside but dont have any fruit (Fruits of the Holy Spirit) Wednesday: Two Important events t…
  • MikeforJesus, thanks for correcting my refrence. The Bible is clear about sin, Listen to what Jesus said in Matthew 5:21-22. 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and whoever murders will be in danger of th…
  • Coptic21, I think this question was answered before, but anyway. A sin is a sin is a sin...... There is no "bigger Sin" or "Smaller Sin" just like there is no "white lie" and "green lie" etc.... A sin, by definition, is seperation from God. How…
  • H.G. Bishop Youanness is the General Bishop and secretary of H.H. Pope Shenouda III. I hope this answers your question.

  • Welcome Angelo. Marmar, Again with the GREAT questions. seems somone is paying attention during Lituryg. The first statment about He gives everyone according to thier deeds. (the priest says that part) To remind us of the hersey that says we are a…
  • Good Question Marmar, Keep in mind though that this prayer request might also let the priest know that a certain person may need special attention. For example, If you know someone who is sick, and you write his/her name down (First and last) If the…
  • Just a note here guys. All of these guide lines are set as reminders for us not to sin. Our religion is not that of rules and regulations. It is NOT a physical religion. It is FAR more supirior than that. I like to use this example. One of these gu…
  • Mark, Are you talking about Copts or Popluation in General? If you are looking for general popluation numbers, you can find those at a report published by the United Nations called "Human Development Report" Here is a link: http://hdr.undp.org/r…
  • Marmar, it is awsome that God gave you to feel that way, so many others, including myself, won't feel bad if they didn't confess for a while. In any event, Here are some relvent points that I heard from Clergy on different occaions concerning the …
  • That is an excellent question confused soul, We humans have a tendency to be more frank with people we can relate to and some time are afriad to discuss matters with people that might critisize our actions. It is not a sin to find a friend who you …
  • safaa, PrincessMary and Tifou, great Job to all on thier answers, but let me clearify a bit: Safaa, you got the two from the old testment. (sorry I forgot about that third one) PrincessMary: I guess my question should have said (aside from the one…
  • Basketball, Interesting question. While I agree with most, I have to disagree with alot (its in my nature) God speaks to many ppl in dreams. However, not everybody get a dream from God. God also appeared to many ppl but then again he didn't appear…
  • I know this is not mentioned in the synexarim but I heard that they pourd boiling Hot oil on him as means of toure. Also while he was departing, Virgin Mary appeard to him and he made a comment to one of those around him asking him to bring a chair …
  • GJI, Sorry, didn't check the website over the weekend, I hope I am not late. Here are some stories of Saints who prayed. St. George Prayed and drew the cross on a cup of poison and he was not harmed. St. Paul was bitten by a poisons snake on the …
  • here is one. We know that Jesus brought back 3 people from the dead. there were 6 other instances of people being brought back from the dead. Try to think of what the instance was. Who was involved and as much detail as possible about them. *Hint…
  • wat was the name of the perfume that the adultress put on Jesus' feet in (arabic and english) hey r both different btw I think the name of the oil was "Karorat teyb NARDINE katheern althaman"
  • Coptgirl Afrek is only said between Asention and Pentecost. Its not a year round thing. (Too bad)
  • Nahda Its called "shere Maria" we call them by the first word I guess. Also the hymn right after that "Cemotero" is AMAZING. I am a TASBEHA FREAK so you would have to excuse me.
  • If you can seprate the heat of the sun from its light from its physical spere, you still CAN'T sperate Jesus from His Devinity from the Holy Spirit. If at any point you can have a Sun (or a STAR) that is NOT hot and DOES NOT emit light you still won…
  • Chris, I don't know if it is too late or not, but here is a topic that should be repeated from about 17,000 angels. PEER PRESURE. IT can never be overdone because kids this age need to know about it time and time again.
  • See the problem is not what will happen, it is more like what MIGHT happen. These poeple may be GREAT people, however being among them might, just might influnce our beliefs. You might be put in the position of having to explain your faith, somethin…

  • I saw the movie and I liked it from an artistic point of view. I don't think it was an accurate depiction of History events. ****WARNING:If you saw the movie, read further, If not and want to go see it, you may choose not to as it may reveal som…
  • There was a story about that in the desert fathers that may help get the point across. I believe the story was about Fr. John the Darf but I am not 100% sure. The story goes like this: This one monk went up to the abott of the monestary and told …
  • If I am not mistaken, I believe these are more or less a catholic concept. We believe that all sins are deadly except those with repentance and confession. So, lets not get cought up in that cuz cursing, swearing, lieing, etc... are all so deadly as…
  • Interssting topic. Here is the deal: Astrology is just another form of fortune telling. Just cuz I am a gemini that does't mean that I have to fit the profile. Or Because I act a certain way, that doesn't mean that I fit the profile of a scorpio. …
  • Marmar I know the answers: 1) John = You Hanna (Arabic) 'You' comes from 'Yahwa' which means God 'Hanna' means has compassion so John or Youhanna means 'God has compassion' 2) St. Luke was also an artist (He painted 2 Icons of St. Mary one of them…
