  • This has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with culture/tradition. What makes one unclean is not your gender but your sins.

  • Horrific scenes from Haiti. What a tragedy.  May God give them strength to get through this.
  • There will ALWAYS be someone prettier than you, someone smarter, someone who has a nicer car or house or whatever.  It's endless. So if you are going to keep comparing yourself with others and feeling jealous you will not get anywhere in life and yo…

  • We coptic people believe that St. Mary was a virgin all her life. But my view of St. Mary would not change if she was not. Sex is not a bad thing,  it was designed by God.  So as long as it is within the context of marriage its a good thing that is …
  • [quote author=Tzegemariam link=topic=8649.msg108940#msg108940 date=1262640857] Hello everyone, I had a question that I hope God will help you answer... How does one carry themself in front of the opposite gender? (Specifically girls) For example, I…
  • It is quite interesting how when the verses appear the baby is crying, cannot be calmed, has a fever and gets really sick overall.  If it is from God, I do not think the baby would exhibit these symptoms. I would think that if this is really a mirac…

  • Try to arrange a meeting with your shool principal, go with your parents and explain the situation and see if there is anyway they will take you back. Maybe you can write a letter letting them know that you would really like to be part of the school…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8540.msg108065#msg108065 date=1259694684] Everyone that Christ healed believed in Him. We are removing demons from Muslim women and they leave us still believing in Islam. How can that be? I thought your faith…

  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8227.msg105153#msg105153 date=1249369948] OK Grace, I still disagree because - I dont think this is relevent to Aiden's problem. Secondly, there is a huge chance that anyone trying to do what you are saying will be…

  • Allow your children and wife to see a POSITIVE change in you as a result of becoming Christian.  Whatever bad habits you might have had before you became a Christian try to make a huge effort to change them. Your actions will speak much louder than…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8216.msg105060#msg105060 date=1248952832] A priest once started a Friday youth meeting, and after about 1 month, it became like a meat market. He regreted the day it started. It was basically the Coptic Dating Servi…

  • I believe services you do in the Church are not to be displayed on applications/resumes. When you chose to serve in the Church, or help the poor, needy or sick or whatever it may be it's between YOU and GOD. It' is not for show or extra credit and i…

  • These so called "study pills" are actually harmful DRUGS that have a very high potential for abuse and dependence.  Not to mention the numerous side effects that include heart problems and sudden death.  Why risk it.... stay away from them and study…
  • You can pick one of your favorite Bible verses eg. John 3:16     Psalm 27:1 Ofcourse the limit of 10 letters max excludes a lot of the books of the Bible.
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7893.msg102447#msg102447 date=1241083054] Hi Grace, I'm a bit confused as to why this should be OK as long as both egg and sperm are not from donors? Well, let me elaborate here. You see, yesterday, on the radio,…

  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=7893.msg102425#msg102425 date=1241051064] But then let's look at being "barren." It's a condition that doesn't come through a sickness or an accident or anything like that. The person is simply barren. It's unlike t…

  • I don't believe that just because you forgive someone means that you have to trust them.  What if that person never changed and continued to do the same thing?  I don't know of any Bible verse that says when we forgive we have to trust, that would b…
  • It's so easy for all of us to sit back and say it's a sin she should have the baby.  Try to put yourself in a raped womans shoes and think of all the pain and suffering she has to go through without being pregnant.   Now add to that pregnancy and a …
  • Great sermon about the true meaning of fasting http://www.orthodoxsermons.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=search_result&Itemid=&search_phrase=Fasting%3A+Controlling+What+Comes+Out&search_mode=phrase

  • The way I feel about fasting is that the only person that should be inconvenienced is the person who is choosing to fast. I don't think its fair if we fast and the people around us are expected to make sacrifices. For example I may choose to absta…
