I understand that they are just children and i dont blame them at ALL, but what upsets me is that most of the time, or even all of the time none of the older people do anything about it.. In my personal opinion kids who go in the altar and play around shouldnt be allowed in the altar untill they reach a certain maturity level. Because at the same time another 5 year old boy was in the alter quite the whole time which was perfect, meanwhile others are in their playing and laughing while the mass is going on.

Again i know their just kids but this is the altar. the THRONE of God.. shouldnt we take it a bit more seriousely?]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6337/married-bishops Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:26:32 +0000 gregorytheSinner 6337@/community/discussions It said that St. Gregory's father was elected bishop, and he elected his son to the priesthood?

I heard that as Orthodox Christians, we do believe that it is the Holy Body of Christ that Catholics partake of during their mass. If this is the case, are we allowed to take communion in a Catholic Church if we are in a country where there are no Orthodox Churches?

I think its best to ask my FoC (of course!), but i'm just generally curious about this issue at the same time.

Thanks for any feedback you may have on this topic,]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6269/capital-punishment Sat, 23 Feb 2008 12:30:06 +0000 SilentOne 6269@/community/discussions
So my question is, does our church have an actual position on capital punishment, and do the other churches, Orthodox (oriental and eastern) and the Catholics concur?

I would also like to hear people's own personal views if they'd like to share. Thank you.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6088/gregory-of-cappadocia Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:53:33 +0000 abflab91 6088@/community/discussions

I heard about the new Orthodox Study Bible which came out this month (Febuary 2008), but I heard already from the people who got about things which are very wrong and againist our beliefs. Nobody is as close to the coptic church as the Eastern Orthodox. Clearly that bible is better than the New King James version because that's by protestants but still it's not the greatest. I ordered my version and i almost regret it. So what do you guys think? Possibly ask Anba David, Anba Youssef, Anba Angelos, Anba Sorial, even possibly Anba Daniel?? I really think it's something we need and it's a huge disadvantage not to have our own translation of the bible. ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6254/peoples-favourite-verses-from-the-bible Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:03:20 +0000 abflab91 6254@/community/discussions

Okay so in my church there are 2 altars, the one in the middle, and theres one on the left side that is where the male deacons usually change if the mass thats taking place is on the middle altar. On sundays their is a morning mass and a mass that follows right after.. the one in the morning starts at 7 and ends at aproximately 9:45 to 10:00 than immediatly after the second mass begins, the one with the middle altar.... The way it works out is one priest will come in for the early mass and when its time for communion the second priest will come in and give out the blood while the first priest is giving out the body so that its faster...

Heres the problem... You know how when mass is over the priest talks about certain things like upcoming events in the church, or like trips to like egypt or w.e.... The oldest priest in our church Made a new rule... and that is BEFORE THE MASS IS COMPLETELY OVER HE WILL START TALKING..... what i mean by this is when the first priest has finished giving out communion and takes the body back to the altar, you know how the priests finished the body and blood himself or uses the deacons so help him finish every little bit... BEFORE HE IS DONE doing this the nex preists goes out and all the hymns stop and he starts talking about upcoming events and church info WHILE the priest in the altar is still NOT FINISHED EATING AND DRINKING THE BODY AND BLOOD... which means that their is still some of the body and blood that has not been consumed while the other priest stops the deacons from singing w.e song they may be singing and starts talking about how the church is going on this trip or wuts happening nex sunday or w.e, and the reason their doing this is so that they can start the next mass right away..... Isnt this completely wrong??? I mean the first time i saw this i couldnt believe it and i dont see how the priests are all fine with it... THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS IS STILL PRESENT and there talking about church trips and how church day care or w.e.......is it just me or does anyone see that this is not right???]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6241/hidden-dogmas Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:25:29 +0000 Historicalparadox 6241@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6232/christmas-and-the-calendar Sun, 17 Feb 2008 23:35:29 +0000 Gooch 6232@/community/discussions
I'm Ethiopian Orthodox.

I'm reading up on calendar issues on the Orthodox Church, and I'm having a hard time getting a definitive answer on exactly why we (Coptic and Ethiopian) celebrate Christmas on 28 Koiak (Tahesas in Amharic-Ethiopia) following a leap year, rather than the usual 29 Koiak. Why don't we always stick to 29 Koiak, even though after a leap year, it would be equivalent to January 8 Gregorian Calendar instead of the usual January 7? Note, I'm not asking about Julian and Coptic vs. Gregorian, but specifically about why we change the date of Christmas according to our calendar every four years.

I've heard the following reasons:

1. To celebrate on the same day as other old calendarists, which is always January 7.
2. Because the official holiday in Egypt is January 7 and doesn't change to January 8 every four years.

What's the official reason according to the Synod? Anyone have references?

Thanks very much.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/6238/fasting-particulars Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:50:39 +0000 Christforlife7 6238@/community/discussions
