  • Not to sound brutal, but tell him that you're not ready and have more important priorities before you can think about marriage. Depending on his reaction, it may or may not tell you if he really is ready and committed. If he isnt, then youve played …
  • Welcome back Why! Its been a while, Ive been back only recently too. Well...to get on topic, you should really discuss this with your father of confession before anyone else (Your parents may not take it well or fully endorse this if you tell them …
  • Well it really depends on what the purpose of including such content, Christopher. I can tell you with confidence that sex (specifically, but not exclusive to, video games) is used to help create sales by attracting the main demographic of teenage a…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7212.msg95813#msg95813 date=1224323145] WHAT!!! WHAT!! WHAT IS THAT? You have a Coptic School for pre-university??? Who teaches there?? Coptic Christians?? Are Catholics allowed to attend the school? Is it fu…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7212.msg95769#msg95769 date=1224276130] [quote author=ChristopherBoctor link=topic=7212.msg95760#msg95760 date=1224259547] good thread. There are i think 3 orthodox schools in Australia, but my parents didn't let me…
  • This is an interesting topic :)...I tried to see If I could get into Video Game Development, but the circumstances wouldnt allow me after I graduated *sighs*. Glad to see some aspiring youth here (assuming that you posters above me havent graduated …
  • Greetings everyone! This topic interested me greatly, hence why I've decided to reply. Some of you may recognise me from a long while back, but most of you are newbies to me on this website. Despite my absence posting in the last couple of months,…
  • My opininion is that what they're ( 'the Coptic Church') trying to say is that the environment of sin caused by the parents influences the child. For example, a chile could be born into a family that deals with drug and alchohol-related addictions, …
  • Everyone who contributed after my last post, i just want to thank you with your help on clearing some of the information. It answered most of my questions... Thanks. I'd like to contribute more, but my knowledge of Highschool Biology isn't suffieci…
  • James 4:17 "He who knows to do good and does not do it, To him it is sin" If you know that what you may do can cause another to sin and there is a possible way to avoid that option, then follow it. But if dont, you run into the chance of making ano…
  • Hey Vas, for the example of the giraffe with the longer neck in Africa, it couldn't be micro-evolution unless its a genetic alteration. Physical changes in the body are not heridatary unless they are in the animal's genetics. For example, if i were …
  • [quote author=vassilios link=board=12;threadid=4455;start=0#msg63450 date=1163766637] Does this help or support the argument of evolution? [/quote] I don't think it supports the theory of evolution, but it does support the law of humanity: We all m…
  • I have a question as well. In the later end of the chapter where God exiles Adam and Eve, he sets a sword of fire which guards the 'tree of life'. Is this a second tree with a purpose as well?
  • I appreciate that, thankyou Vas... One of the many things Orthodox Churches do in general by tradition is holding people together! God Bless!
  • To add on to what everyone said above, micro-evolution could be considered what is now called 'genetic mutation' in where factors such as UV radiation alter the DNA Sequencing in an organism and altering their genetic code. This could either give th…
  • Sorry if i make a human error in saying this, but from what i can read from Iqbal's notes, i guess the Divinity of God cannot separate from his humanity because he exists everywhere and anywhere, so he cannot depart from the body. Also since Christ …
  • I was taught that it is alright for another mother to carry the child in her womb as long as the gamete contains the genes of both real parents... Hope i helped... +CD+
  • God consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and so there is a sense of unity/community even within himself. He wouldn't be feeling lonely at all then. Another thing, loneliness is the abscence of someone else being present. Since God embodies a…
  • Yes, God may have spiritualy guided Noah to build the ark, but his sons would of also been able to make them. i think this sort of technology would of been passed down between generations, allowing other nations to migrate into their current locatio…
  • This would be very interesting. I would have loved to help, but because i'm from Australia, my knowledge of Copts in Britiain is very little. God Bless though on your work and i hope i may get the chance to read any excerpts from your works...
  • You state that you might be changing schools? Are you by any, uncanny way moving from St. Marks College to another school in Sydney's West? Because thats what happened to me an i felt the same way. Even if you dont go to St. Mark's (You said your i…
  • This is probably the story of Abraham's nephew, Lot. Two angels visited Lot in Sodom and he took them in. The men of Sodom were 'carnal' and so wanted the men to join in sin with them. Lot refused, and insisted that his maiden daughters be taken ins…
  • I guess doing the sign of the cross is a pretty good 'litmus' test. I guess it all depends on the composition of the game that will determine if its good or not. Thanks Orthodox11
  • Except for wasting time (and possibly improving your hand/eye coordination), I can't really see anything constructive in the majority of video games. Would you consider improvement in english (minus the swearing) and storyline inspiration consrtucti…
  • You're also supposed to avoid sitting down during Holy Communion since Christ is within our midst. The only poeple exempt from doing so are the elderly and those who are sick. In general, were supposed to stand up during the entire mass. One other…
  • For example, if im 'versing' a boss and someone gets in the way of the scream, then i die or something else like that, id be infuriated Pardon my spelling, it was supposed to say 'gets in the way of the screen'... :P
  • here is what video games mean to doctors k?! it stress you, and makes you tense and on the edge cuz you can't make it to the next level! so you become tense! and it worries you! and it completely misses up with your nerve system! my little brother…
  • Methusalah lived until 969 because God allowed it. He never put an age restriction on humans until some point in Genesis (Forgot the verse but i know its there). This age restriction became 120 years, hence why humans these days can rarely exceed th…
  • Coptic Dragon when u say each generation was 100 yrs i dont think that to be true. in the OT people lived to hundreds of yrs old Kristina123, Im aware that humans lived far greater than that in the Old Testament, but i wasnt trying to be scientific…
