  • Join a group on Facebook called " اهواكي يا أرثوذكسية " . They have a photo of Ihab Tawfik in front of the altar and icons with a mic in his hand and some ladies clapping behind him. The post says that he is singing and he looks like he is. Was he i…
  • No need for your usual condescending tone that is unwarranted and that you cannot back up with any personal or spiritual merits. No one is mocking any saints here, simply because the very sainthood of Constantine is in question and no one is able …
  • Does anybody know when the Arian Emperor Constantine was admitted into the congregation of saints? Maybe we should consider admitting General El-Sisi into the congregation of saints as well. Definitely a man of honor as opposed to Constantine's blo…
  • Zoxsasi: What kind of arranged marriages are you all talking about? I thought they do that stuff in India where you only see the bride on the day you get married. It might be present in Upper Egypt and in the villages, but my observation is that it …
  • How is it a mathematical certainty that we will become extinct if no union with the Chalcedonians occurs? Why didn't we become extinct since 451 a.d? The Chalcedonians became extinct in Constantinople within a generation after the Turkish invasio…
  • You want to worship God in a way inspired by the Holy Spirit and develop an orthodox mind that is based on teachings and songs / hymns inspired by the Holy Spirit. Anything not inspired by the Holy Spirit is inspired by man or by the devil. Anything…
  • Coptic icons show St. Stephen holding the censor. I have seen the full deacons / subdeasons in all churches of Cairo and Giza that I visited, till the mid 90's, perform three rounds around the church using the censors after the congregation of the…
  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=14725.msg166581#msg166581 date=1385416936] ReturnOrthodoxy and Doc Rem as moderators?!?  :o [/quote] RO will do a great job as he does in all areas of his life.
  • Bishop Makaroious of El Menya to be the Abbott of this monastery. Wow !! A mega saint among us !!!    Is he gonna be permanently relocated or just transferred for the period of the monastery start-up and commissioning?
  • have a huge ambition of being a college professor in my study field (Architectural engineering) and to be a project manager/executive engineer, Best of luck. I guess you are studying in Egypt. True?
  • Regarding the excommunication of Dr. Bebawy, the proper procedures for a trial were not followed. The accused needs to be summoned and given a chance to defend himself / herself in front of a tribunal that the accuser and accused agree upon. If th…
  • The words of God never fail. They are to the end of times. Glory be to our God. All I meant was that as a child, I thought I might tug on the corner of my spiritual Baba's robe and let him know what was on my heart "Out of the eater, something t…
  • Officially, the US, France, Germany, Britian and Taliban have condemned the crack down on the MB. This is no joke, and no surprise.
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14577.msg165673#msg165673 date=1376919008] The Muslim brotherhood are a terrorist organization. If you support the MB, you are a terrorist, and should be treated like one. Ray [/quote] Exactly. This appli…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=14577.msg165666#msg165666 date=1376778104] Dthoxasi, I really do believe that Europeans are more in tune with principles of democracy and dare I say anthropology more than religion, whether he's muslim or Christian.…
  • [quote author=dthoxsasiPhilanethrope link=topic=14577.msg165661#msg165661 date=1376667103] [quote author=Stavro link=topic=14577.msg165660#msg165660 date=1376666604] I agree with Zoxasi. The MB is hated among the dominant majority of the Egyptians…
  • I agree with Zoxasi. The MB is hated among the dominant majority of the Egyptians. We are talking about 33 millions on June 30, 25 millions on July 3 and 40 millions on July 26 who took actively to the streets to take them out of power, then suppo…
  • The US is supporting the MB.
  • We are witnessing historical events. The Egyptians have rejected the MB and in one year, they have overturned their rule of corruption and treason. In retaliation, and with the support of their allies such as the US, the EU, Qatar and Turkey, the …
  • Dear Zoxasi, it is an interesting discussion, but for tomorrow. Right now, do whatever you do when you celebrate a joyous event. This is just epic.
  • So how can we fix it? The verse above is very pertinent to this situation. The only way that the churches will learn these days, is when its clergy and servants walk the ruins of the destruction they have caused. When they walk around seeing atheist…
  • Christians do not practice this barbaric self mutilation. Muslims do however, and on a wide scale, and El Azhar influence has been greatly diminished in the last decade.
  • Simply put, a woman should embrace this rite as a method to come closer to God using the body He gave them. There is no "coming closer to God" without communion.
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14492.msg165177#msg165177 date=1371748623] summary dude? haha [/quote] Summary: St. Athanasius supports your position.
  • a church in my area ...... Of course, this is a ploy to get HHPK6 into the game, and a pretty disrespectful game to play on the pillarof faith. Not a single Icon of The Pillar in there... (Many Pictures of HHPK6.) [ deleted by Admin ] Maybe they do…
