  • Another interesting fact about Albert Einstein: He was asked to be head of the Jewish state of Israel, however turned down the position due to religious reasons (he did not agree with their policies) He also toured the Middle East at one point, gi…
  • I think I know an explanation. I am not sure if this is the correct reason, but it sort of makes sense... The city of Venice, Italy, considers St. Mark the Evangelist as its patron saint. When merchants from Italy came and found the body here, they…
  • A complete list of the Coptic Orthodox Popes...before and after the Great Schism... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Patriarchs_of_Alexandria Includes some information about each of the popes (as long as they are hyperlinked in [shadow=red,lef…
  • WOW!! I thought the Eriterian and Ethiopian (Tewahedo)church in Africa were the only other members of the Coptic Patriarchate... Isn't there one in Kenya? I saw footage of H.H. Pope Shenouda III visiting Kenya (or another country in Africa) and he …
  • It's funny how wrong they are most of the time...some of the time it may seem it's right, but it's too general to tell... Sinful Servant
  • Let me redirect your attention to a movie similar to this one... It was made in Egypt a while ago by director Youssef Chahine... called "Al Nasser Salah El Dine"...i'm sure some of you know which one i'm talking about... Aside from the horrible 60…
  • Nice story...i read it before, but i didn't know it was Albert Einstein... Couple of facts about Einstein... - He was Jewish - Hated the concept of war - Had a fear of marching troops as a child (possibly into adulthood) - Is famous for his ground…
  • do you think even if satan gets judged hes going to heaven?????? What kind of a question is that? the answer is obvious...then again, u answered ur own question... I know that God is forgiving, but the fact is we as humans sin everyday...little si…
  • Keep something important in mind...when you play video games, you have to remember the purpose of the game. Important things you should remember when playing video games: 1) DO NOT let it interfere with your studies 2) DO NOT LET IT INTERFERE WITH …
  • It's true... so many christian faiths (even the Catholics) have become far too bureaucratic...depending too much on offices and titles... I won't say that we don't have that either, but we have based these titles strictly on religion...right? …
  • Trust me on this: Abouna will understand that you are having a difficult time saying what is on your mind... He will help you!! follow the advice that he gives you....it may take a while to see a result, but usually you get over the sin and move on…
  • it's so true... i never noticed it until now... [glow=red,2,300]we are severely egyptian!![/glow]
  • Your #1 best way is to confess... I know it is tough and extremely embarrassing...especially if it relates to your feelings, body, etc. One way your FOC can help you is to help you narrow it down through groups so that you don't actually admit it,…
  • With regards to Mel Gibson's "The Passion of The Christ"...I found SO many things left out, as well as SO many things that were wrong... Here is a list of what I noticed or remembered: 1) How Christ saw the devil in the Garden... 2) Christ seeing …
  • Religion (especially the Coptic faith) doesn't necessarily "hate" science, but think that they are taking on a role in life they can never accomplish: that is, proving religion wrong. The Coptic Orthodox church believes that sciences and religion …
  • Hi, Welcome to the site. You'll love it here! Sinful Servant
  • Related question: why is it that we say "Good Friday" or "El Gom3a El 3azeema" (arabic), when Jesus had the most pains during that friday? i've heard that it was because that was when man's sins were lifted by Christ, but i want to hear a more reaso…
  • ok...i have a question relating to Coptic Christianity beginning in Alexandria... Of course, we all know that St. Mark the Apostle is the one who started Christianity in Egypt...but most historians disagree, and think that it was a small Jewish com…
  • Hi and welcome.... Like mentioned before, feel free to ask questions and get involved with the threads...some of them are really good and insightful (though, to be honest, i can't say that about all of them...unfortunately!) …
  • yes me too...my biology final is coming up...so pray for me, please... Rabena Ma3ak ya Hos Erof... Sinful Servant
  • oh ok...i remember now...we studied this in biology earlier in the year... ok...thanx... Sinful Servant
  • it's funny... so many scientists say that evolution is the "inreffutable creation of humans"...they also say the same about the big bang theory. As someone mentioned in this thread (i'm sorry, i can't remember ur name…
  • Question: the capital of Ancient Egypt was Memphis (near modern day Cairo). How did it move to Alexandria? was it when Pletomy came to Egypt after Alexander's death?
  • When I said relics, I meant the Christ relics.... Catholics claim to have found the true cross...but i read somewhere that us Copts don't believe in that. Also, there are claims that they have found Jesus' tomb, among other relics related to Chri…
  • hey, u noe, it's funny...someone asked me a similar question like that a couple of weeks ago, but it was the question "if God made humans, who made God?". I know it's not the exact same question, but it tackles the ideas of God's ability. …
  • You know, I never thought of that... I always thought that too much emphasis was being put on Rome by Catholics... I know for one we don't really care about "holy places" and such, right? btw, are there any "relics" that the church believes is tr…
  • Like PeterS said, there are four sacrements of the church that every Christian in the faith is given, no matter what they want to be (actually, they need those four sacrements to become a priest, deacon, bishop, etc.) Let us also remember that marr…
  • wow... sounds more like a video game than a cult... ...a very stupid cult, i might add... peace, Sinful Servant
  • hey, just wanted to say that this question was on my mind as well. Here's the way i look at it: - Though many people blame violent games for teen violence, it's important that these parents take the responsibility to teach their kids where to…
