    in Bible Game Comment by KBibo8 March 2008
  • There is beautiful symbolism behind the X in Xmas. The X represents two things: 1) A cross. 2) X: as in the first letter of the word Ekhristos in Greek. Therefore, it originally was not an attempt to remove Christ's name from Christmas. However,…

  • I know that the church allows IVF, but I don't fully understand why. I almost all cases IVF produces more embryos than will be implanted into the mother. This means that some embryos will be frozen to be used later. Most of the time thesejust get de…

  • Hi Geraldine, It's nice to see you back on the forum. Have you spoken to any clergy about this situation. I have been told by my parish priest that he has baptised a woman who is married to a Muslim man. She continues to live with him and practice…

  • [quote author=Iqbal link=board=1;threadid=4056;start=15#msg56996 date=1151578282] In the end, theology is useless unless practically applied, and not necessary when practically applied. [/quote] That is terrific quote. It is one I need to apply t…

  • Thank you Iqbal and Stavro. I believe that Stavro is partially right. The person I was talking to seemed to think that the term meant partaking of the divine nature of God. The interesting thing is that this discussion was started when I saw him re…

  • Iqbal, I was told by the head of Sunday school at my church that theosis is a new EO heresy that is not found in the writings of the early church fathers. Also, I have never heard anyone speak or write about this concept in the Coptic Orthodox Chur…

  • [quote author=mtanious32 link=board=13;threadid=3889;start=30#msg56724 date=1151035189] The thing is people are so ignorant!!!! You hear it is bad, yes maybe in some cases where some people do something stupid. But Prom itself is not bad, the afterp…

  • If he actually has attempted suicide and does not want to seek help himself (which is usually the case) then it is your duty to get him help yourself. This is one case in which you should break confidence and tell someone because you cannot handle t…

  • I have to disagree with the idea of putting the subjects on the altar. I don't have the time to find it now, but I think I posted a quote from H.G. Bishop Moussa on this topic earlier. You should ONLY put choices on the altar for abouna to choose on…
    in SUBJECT SELECTION!! Comment by KBibo8 June 2006
  • For those of us who are in America, could someone please explain what an extension subject is. Also, could someone explain the system of admissions into university in Australia. I am confused. In America no one can simply say if your grades are grea…

    in SUBJECT SELECTION!! Comment by KBibo8 June 2006
  • I definitely have to agree with Iqbal and Matt. The way people write on this forum is frustrating. It is hard to read a post when there are more spelling and grammar (yes that is how you spell the word) than lines. I have mentioned this before and w…

  • You may want to know that Orthodox priests are not alone in their opposition to the prom. Many protestants who were raised here also feel the same way. Here is an article for you to look at. http://www.wolfeborobible.com/prom.html

  • They are in Real Player format and thus cannot be burned without being converted to MP3 or WVA. I do not know of any way to do that.
    in Vancouver CD Comment by KBibo8 June 2006
  • I am sorry if I offended you. No I do not believe that the matter is in anyway trivial. By simple I meant that although it is a major error, it does not necessarily imply ignorance on Fr. Markos' part, especially since it was later changed. It is im…

  • Calm down guys. It is a simple mistake. THe next edition of the book which is not online has had this introduction corrected.

  • I can't understand why people have such a big problem with the death penalty. If applied properly it is not unethical. In this case I would say that the 10 year old boys were two young to receive the death penality. They probably knew that what they…

  • No we don't believe in superistition and bad luck, but due to the prevelnce of such thinking in Egyptian society many people believe in superstition anyway.

  • Why is tomorrow any different from 6/6/1906, 6/6/1806, etc? How about 6/6/ 2666 or 1/1/6066 or 6/6/6000. Also why use just the Western calendar? Why wasn't it Amshir, 6, 1706 AM (Amshir is the 6th coptic month. How about Amshir 6, 1806 AM. Also, th…

  • Sorry Vassilios, but I have to disagree. Coptic is much more poetic than Arabic, especially since the Arabic is just a translation from the Coptic. I get very excited whenever a priest prays part of a liturgy in Coptic. I just love it. There are som…
    in How do we spiritually gain from the Liturgy? Comment by KBibo8 May 2006
  • Vasilios I think part of the problem here is that the Bible does not delineate exactly what to do in each and every situation. This is why God gave us His Holy Spirit, to guide us when things do not seem clear cut. However, we often ignore Him becau…
