  • [quote author=Hizz_chiilld link=board=1;threadid=4666;start=0#msg63646 date=1164104567] Are we judged if we make others sin by doing things that can be avoided anyway ? For example, the way we dress? Please provide your answer with evidence. Thank…
  • But if the Church is the new Israel, does that mean they have to keep the covenant of observing the Sabbath?
  • [quote author=G.J.I link=board=11;threadid=4588;start=0#msg62798 date=1162714660] 1 Corinthians 5 9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of t…
  • You might want to consider getting some freeware or shareware forum software from the internet. Wikipedia has a pretty comprehensive list of a lot of different types of forum software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_forum_software
  • Can someone please answer the rest of my questions? ???
  • [quote author=emghaly23 link=board=4;threadid=3410;start=30#msg61911 date=1160452050] just to clarify, one reason we pray on the dead is so that God will forgive the person the sins that they unintentionally forgot to confess or were unaware that th…

  • But if someone loses faith and hope in God, but doesn't kill themselves, and later regains hope and faith, can't tthey repent? ???
  • [quote author=Christ4Life link=board=4;threadid=3410;start=15#msg61755 date=1160088569] Bentbabayasso', I just have one thing to say about what you posted. " even though our fate have been already decided!" I am afraid somebody who does not know o…
  • I don't really think the language of the Coptic Orthodox church is something that should be changed - being from a an average caucasian non-religious background I know neither Greek, Coptic, nor Arabic, yet I plan to learn them all. If you change th…
  • Do you have any links to any internet articles or anything? It'd be really fascinating to read further on this issue.

  • Well I'm not too sure really, I occasionally play fighting games that you mentioned like Tekken, Soul Calibur etc, I mainly play it because I enjoy the challenge of trying to win against another person - provided you don't play for the violence, and…

  • Is it a sin (or wrong) to write, highlight the bible Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think it's O.k. to write in the Bible/make notes so long as you aren't just defacing it.

  • Can the atheist provide any reasons to believe in the non-existence of God? The atheist doesn't have to proove that God does not exist - The onus of proof is on the person making the claim - it'd be like them saying "I worship a pink elephant - proo…

  • ummm....i think the safest way is not to get vpregnant if ur not married. plus the church bdoes not approve of that anyway Some married couples do choose to use contraception, and I think I read a while ago in a book by H. H. Pope Shenouda III that …
    in Plan B ??? Comment by WMA August 2006
  • Based on the above post does this mean that it would not necessarily be forbidden by the church to use the newly proposed male contraceptive pill, which iirc, inhibits sperm production?

  • God loves us and all so he has given us freedom - whats the point! He knows our acts so why? Please do not give me info sources as I have read many on this subject. Pray for me. I think it may also be that God is the perfect judge? Although he has …
  • nope .. was iut the catholics that believe in punishemnt in hell and then they go heaven after suffered(cant memba the name) was that the catholics or protestant????? Roman Catholic doctrine of Purgatory I think [Forgive me if I'm wrong]. The term p…
  • Proof of this is the bombing of the UN compound (that killed 4 UN personnel) and in which Kofi Anan believed was a deliberate attack. I think in a lot of caes, a lot isn't being reported and we are being fed half the story by the media - for example…
  • Some information regarding the Baptism of Blood can be found here: http://www.copticchurch.net/topics/patrology/schoolofalex2/chapter14.html and here: http://www.copticchurch.net/topics/thecopticchurch/sacraments/1_baptism.htm
  • I heard in a sermon before that the reason the thoughts are wrong are because they are baby sins. When acted upon, they grow into something larger. That's why you need to "get rid of the roots" before it grows into a large tree. A verse I feel that …

  • I really dont know why Jesus Christ allows all these things to be said about him, he is the King of KIngs. God is the Merciful Creator of mankind, and he gave man free-will. God would no-doubt prefer if man heeded His word and loved Him as He loves…

  • Upon the premise of God’s fairness, the Lord, Who alone can recognise the genuine seeker, for sincerity is a thing of the heart and not something that can accurately be externally read, provides them with an opportunity they would inevitably and pos…
  • hypothetical person who ended up in hell, is there by choice, because he/she consistently rejected the divine calls he/she received. But that begs the question what if someone rejects the divine call believing it to be the word of satan? For a Chri…

  • Forgive me, though I think some aspects of doubts are related to fights against repentance. Why would doubt about Christianity being correct arise because of a fight against repentance? ???
  • Thanks for the help Orthodox and John. I'm reading through the article you linked now, but John I'm a little confused by your response, I'm not having trouble with repentance which you seem to be addressing :\
  • I think [please correct me if I'm wrong] that souls go to places to await their Judgement. For example sinners go to Hades [Not hell], and the ones who will go to Heaven go to a paradise or something. Please forgive me for not having intimate knowle…

  • Sorry to intrude but I'm just curious why most people think that a crush has some physical end to it? Can a crush be purely emotional, and if not, what is an emotional equivalent of a "Crush"?

  • On a similar note to what FROG and PrincessMary said, I was just reading various assorted articles, and came across one a while ago that dealt with a similar topic to this, and just remembered it now; basically it likened God to a parent who does so…
