  • I think this is just a political stance the Catholic church must take. and you're right. Does it matter anyway? Its not like anyone forced Him to die against His will. And we're all responsible. I don't really understand why bring this up right n…
  • [quote author=user00 link=topic=7440.msg131683#msg131683 date=1298772964] I love the story of Anba Arsanious personally, he was the son of the Emperor and forsook all his wealthy and luxury to live an austere life in the desert, If you all have tim…
  • wow. who knew there were so many coptic websites out there?
  • besides that, these stories are normal for egypt. walk into any church in cairo and you'll hear at least 5 or 6 of these first hand. Or if you can't because you're not in Egypt, just turn on al Karma or whatever channel shows abouna makary's friday …
  • isn't this story really old? I'm sure I've heard it before. years ago.
  • I love the super coptic names. Ones that shout I'm COPTIC!! boys: Athanasious, Dioscorus, sergious, epiphanious, philopateer, armanious, arsanious girls: Evronia, Mahraeel, epiphania, philomina, Avrusini, Anaise
  • wow. you've had one full journey! I think my favorite thing to do is to listen to people tell their stories about how they got to the coptic church. They're always amazing! Superman (bam)! I'd like to hear your details! lol. It's nice to see how Go…

  • If that's the case, then I have to admit, I go to bed early at around 6 or 7, so I can wake up around 1 am to eat and study. I find it easier to study  at that time. Is that okay?
  • Is there anything we can do from here to help? Get organized? Do anything at all?
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10738.msg130797#msg130797 date=1297884786] I wonder how Judgment Day works relative to time zones?  Does it roll through at one hour at a time? Or is time suspended? Does it go by GMT? ... which means that al…
  • I just heard some news that naguib ghobraial, a Coptic businessman, has publicly opposed the man appointed to head the constitution changes.

  • A few questions: who the heck is tantawi? do we know anything about him? Has an election date been decided? Can we vote in the diaspora?
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=10696.msg130537#msg130537 date=1297507733] one of the things that worries protestants about the orthodox church is that joining the church is always personalised. what i mean is, if you go to a protestant church (fo…

  • you actually live in egypt? you haven't left? wow! someone actually still in egypt!
  • I think we still do the catakumen thing. You go to your local orthodox church, talk to your priest. He'll talk to you about the orthodox faith and its nuances. Anything you don't accept, he'll try to explain to you. When you get to the point where y…

  • Father peter, its probably just a christian painting. Muslims don't believe in painting religious figures. They think its a sin.
  • [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=10667.msg130231#msg130231 date=1297270783] Epiphania, Let's wait and see what the future holds. As Christians, we cannot keep on treating others based on their past sins. Its not right. Where then is the forgivene…
