  • In all the music I listen to I try to find the meaning to me, the message, the one not necessarily intended by the band. I don't listen to a lot of rap beacause to much of it is as shallow as a puddle and in looking for a meaning, you just get your …
  • The thing is, when I donate to any charity, I don't know where that money is going (that's why I prefer donating to the Church on matters like this.) Either way, money isn't everything, in fact it's nothing in comparison to salvation (not to sound l…

  • Personally, I believe in karma but let me explain. To me, karma is simply the Divine Justice, God being the Just Judge. I.E. Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour had to die for us to (for lack of a better term) "balance the scale." The price of sin is …
  • You could go to a site called www.megaupload.com and upload to their server and just post the link they give you here on this thread.
  • Just another thing to add. What does seperation from God entail? I think it means that without our good Shepard we will not only get lost in the darkness but will get hurt (physically.) How can we see the harms on the ground when we are in the dark…
  • Allright, wow. I just finished reading all 5 pages and most of the links and I have my part to say now. Why are we Coptic Orthodox, I myself was born into it, many have converted to it, many have remained in it... why? Their are probably millions of…
  • 1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 And he entered…
  • Hey Iqbal, is this book available online?
  • I have no idea, but it would be much appreciated if one of you guys would give me the truth. What is our soul, our conscience, our mind, how do we make decisions... through what? Thanks+
  • Great responses to all, but I still have one question left. How do we "judge with righteous judgement" as St. John says.
  • Funny thing about parties, or at least the one's I know about, most people come in thinking that the party is going to make them feel amazing afterwards and that's it's the most important thing in the world. Then, when they come out they're worse th…

  • 19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border. 20It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the LORD because of oppresso…
  • Nahda, I dont know you but you are my brother, know that the devil is cunning, smarter than any of us, and he has been trying to kill us since our father Adam and mother Eve. But PLEASE hold on that extra-second, stretch your arm out in the darkness…

  • Concerning evolution, I'm pretty sure (but I don't know if they consider this evolution,) that species adapt through mutations. Not exactly sure though. Either way though, I think people, i.e. scientists, are just trying to prove religion wrong whic…
  • I was talking with my mom recently and I asked her about this and she said that St. Mark's body was stolen, however, Pope Kyrillos VI, our previous Pope, talked with the Catholics (don't know who was their pope at the time but i dont think it was po…

  • [quote author=PrincessMary link=board=1;threadid=1724;start=0#msg26532 date=1117312597] "The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made …
  • [quote author=Psalmist link=board=1;threadid=1699;start=0#msg26268 date=1117138144] God can't exist within the realm of logic. If that was the case then God in fact would be limited...which He isn't as we all know. [/quote] Just a question, how is…
  • I think it goes that sin we sinned (Adam and Eve) we have to pay the price of death. Since sin is an act against God and and God is unlimited sin is an unlimited act therefore only an unlimited atonement could satisfy an unlimited act hence Jesus Ch…
  • First off, this is just my opinion, so if there's any blame after this it goes to me, anyway, you know how people say stuff like "It'll go away with time" ITS NOT TRUE. The pain is your cross to carry and it wont go away, only subside. Sorry if I so…
  • I like the name Gabriel for a boy and proabably Gabriela for a girl lol. I do love the "traditional" (couldnt think of a better word) names like Mark, John, George, Mathew, Luke (no pun intended lol). For a girl I love the name Mary.
  • Are they all our sister churches and if not what seperates us?
  • Speaking or reading. Reading is pretty easy to learn, just practice a little and you'll get it because your alway's exposed to it in Church, just take a book and follow along. Speaking is another story.
  • Thanks very much I suppose it's my own personal battle +
  • I get what you are all saying and I can't thank you enough for taking time to respond but the thing of it is it's their pride that I have a problem with not them. Take ServentofJesus' example of the pit. What he said is all true but what I dont unde…
  • I remember something like this and i think it turned out that both the people were liars but i dont remember the question, lol. If it were up to me though i'd just put "LORD" into the question, Satan wouldn't be able to stand the name and the angel…
  • lol, GREAT answer, I just dont like being confused, or rather staying confused. The thing is though it's easy to mistake a masterful lie for the truth in the world that we live in today. That's why faith is so important.
  • I think you mean ascetics not anachorites. I'm pretty sure that anachorites are the truly, amaziongly, Holy people who can "teleport," (for lack of a better term/word.) Ascetics are those monks that go out by themselves into the desert and only co…
  • I go to Saint Mark's in Cedar Grove, NJ; a.k.a. the Makaar. Here's saying Lord have Mercy.
  • Very useful thread guys. Just one question, are their any truly definitave dates of celebration traced back to the Bible or did the early Coptic Church set aside days? Thanks. :)
  • So then why do so many people believe that Emperor Constantine of Rome was the one who put together the bible. Basically all I know about him was that he was the one who made Christianity (Catholocism at least) the official religion of Rome and that…
