That's an interesting question. Every living creature has to have a soul. Sometimes we use the word soul and Spirit interchangebly. But that is the main difference between us and the animals. we have Spirits, they don't. The spirit is that breath …

before we get side tracked on other arguments and dig deeper into a theological conversation I just wanted thank Jerry for brining this up and reminding us to Praise God. Jerry, I don't know if you already knew this or not but the word Tasbeha mean…

Yeah, Abd El Halim made 1 song with a christian theme to it. He is lamenting Jerusalim and the holy land saying that Christ spill His blood there. He has an amazing voice so I kinda like it. If you want it, pm me

I am gonna narrow it down. I really love Ten Theno, Amen Keyraliason, and everything else inbetween. lol. Serously though. all the long hymns (khen oshot, Maren o onh, etc.) fourth hos and Arepsalin

Nahda, Excellent question and GREAT topic. But you know me, I have to give my lousy 2 cents. 1) God is all knowing. He knows things before hand. what cremedelescremes said (no offense) fits more the devil than God. God has that knowledge. It is n…

Joe, The Holy 50 days end depends on when Easter was. This year, the Feast of Pentecost is June 19, which means that June 20[sup]th[/sup] will be the beginning of the Apostles Fast. You can go to this page and it will tell you all the dates, you j…

Psalmist, The second feast of the Cross is March 19th or 10 Baramhat. The first one is for three days and we are celebrating finding the cross (again). The story goes that a king in Persia heard about the cross and wanted to steal it. But every tim…

H.H. Was asked that question last week and i like his answer(s). These are not direct qoutes but I am paraphrasing: The queston went, "what does your Holiness thing about the evolution theory? and how do we answer people about it?" He goes: 1) ITs a…

Nither monks nor bishops (same goes for Metropolitans and Popes) can take the confession of a female member of the congregation. However due to the fact that some areas doesn't have a priest and the only clergy available is a monk or sometimes becau…

Ladies and Gents, Just wanted to clarify a few things. Azbakia is the name of the street and area surrounding it. The capital of Egypt moved around a few times during different rulings. It was Alexandria since Alexander the great built it. It staye…

Psalmist, Just want to clarify one thing. One Wife here does not mean a human wife but rather married to one diocese or one church. Also, in the early days of the church, bishops, priests and popes had wives and children. Anianos (I think that's h…

not sure if my response will fit in here with those GREAT and AMAZING respones. But I will share a personall expiereince. I used to get bored of the liturgy thinking it is redundent. I even got to the point where I said, what's the point in saying …

Keep in mind one thing. These are not church Cannons that were set by the apostles, they are rules that are set as reminders for us to respect the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Example: If you had communion today and you are making sure you don't …

Awad, your tryin to respond from a christian point of view or secular?

aight, Short and sweet version of the answer. Any Korbana is holy for 2 reasons: 1) While they are baking it, they read the Psalms 2) It has A stamp on it (that circle) with 13 crosses and the words (Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal) in Greek. …

"Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? " (1 Corn 3:16) I think that sums it up. Would you punch holes in a church when there is no need to? will you paint the church in a manner in appropriate? Do N…

Shenouda, words of wisedom my friend. Awad, Money is the root of all evil. Even our Lord Jesus Christ said "And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Matt 1…

MarMar, thats a very interesting question. Lets go back and see why we pray for people who are dead first. We do because we believe that there are 2 types of sin, Mortal and Non-mortal sins. This dependes on whether the person repents or not. Wheth…

I have to agree with Nahda and Shnoods. Gambling is WRONG!!! you are taking your money and wasting it (if you loose) or earning more based soley on something out of your control (the roll of the dice, the next card to show up, etc...) The stock mark…

That is debatable. I believe it was Pope Shenouda that said "the first glance doesn't count" He said it in a jokingly manner. What he intended was, if you going about your daily life not seeking these matters and the devil throws a wrong picture yo…

I think a shorter list would be that of hymns we dont' like and that list would be ZERO length. I love them all, but there are a few not mentioned here and are some of my Favorite: 1) Omonoganies ( I LOVE THE WORDS TOO) 2) There is this hymn call…

I could be wrong, but one theory why people thought it was an apple because since that garden was in the Iraq, Iran region apples (if I am not mistaken) are a popular fruit there because of weather conditions. But we dont' know for sure what kind of…

Youstina, Two examples from the lives of the saints come to mind: 1) Saint Monica, she prayed with tears for 21 years for her son to know God 2) A story about one of the desert Fathers (I believe Anba Macarious the Great) The story goes like this. H…

Steve, Yes they do, it is called Emmaculate conception of Virgin Mary. It is NOT however a doctorine but rather a belief that stemmed from a vision poeple had when they saw "allegedly" saint Mary and she said "I am the immaculate virgin". In orthodo…
