Unfortunately, I do not. I find it best to find these types of books from Orthodox bookstores as they usually donate some of the money to the See of St. Mark. But I understand your dilemma; You want to be prepared for your discussions as soon as po…

Interesting name Ronie :) Welcome!

I'm so excited for this!!! I will pray that more will see it and sign up in order that we, as Orthodox Christians, have a better understanding of ourselves and our beliefs and ultimately, our God.

I believe this book is called "Man's Deification Part 1" by HH Pope Shenouda III. It can be found at this bookstore: http://www.orthodoxbookstore.org/mansdeificationpart1.aspx The second part is called "Partakers of the Divine Nature" and I do not…

Father Peter, after reading your post after I had already polled, I would like to switch to the Christology module. Also I want to know how the modules will go; Will I be able to study on my own time or will there be certain times I have to take th…

It is true that God gives abundantly to those who give him more. It is also true that God does not need us, we need him. It is also true as Splendor has said that the intention of giving to God should not be to receive rewards or benefits, but simpl…

“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" (Luke 11:9-10). I think this is what …

[quote author=PeterA link=topic=12908.msg151839#msg151839 date=1329185437] Aghapy, I encourage everyone, if there are no objections to it, to buy the book "Genesis, Creation, and Early Man. The Orthodox Christian Vision" by Fr…

Thank you for this JG! I will read it right away.

Thank you Marmar for your kind words. May God guide us all in everything that we do so that it is acceptable unto Him.

I will keep you in my prayers. I believe that a thorough assessment of ourselves is necessary for spiritual growth. Now that I've come up with the conclusion I made in the beginning of this thread, I want to see what other areas I have matured in or…

Wow. Forgive my ignorance brothers; I am not trying to start an argument. But here is my reasoning for what I said. Yes, I am Coptic. Yes I believe in Church traditions. I was simply stating that if the badrashal is worn incorrectly God is not goin…

It's okay, I think. Unless their Abouna says something, then it's wrong. Otherwise I don't think it's much of a big deal, really. I don't think it says anything about how to wear a badrashal in the Bible :) I think God would look at the heart of a D…

I read the book, and i find nothing in it faith shattering. If anything, it strengthened my faith. Why strengthen? Well, if you read the book and think, "Is this the best they could come up with against the church?" then you think the best they have…

Stavros you raise very excellent points, yet again. They are so excellent that I do not wish to even dwell upon them. Everything you have stated is exactly what I believe. It may not show in my writing because I am in that phase you are talking abou…

I am of course Coptic Orthodox, baptized even by a Bishop. but I will not hear one more word from anyone in my church about how Catholics will never be saved and how Coptic Orthodoxy is the true faith. Everyone coptic believes this, I think.

You said: I do not believe that the Coptic Orthodox Church, or the people on this forum, have presented any wrong information about the roman catholic church.If there are any dogma that you feel were misrepresented , please advise.My response: Some…

I don't think Bishoy is slow, I just think he was trying to be funny. Key word here is trying.... Run that joke by God he'll show you how funny it is.

This is the way of life. It is a lot more easier to believe someone got a bad grade because he or she did not study enough than to think the teacher just didn't like the student, or didn't liek something about them. It is not in the nature of teache…
-
This is why Coptic Orthodox Christians and Catholics alike believe that they individually posess the true faith. It is because they have the wrong information about each other's faith. People, please realize no one religion or denomination is the be…

1 catholics don't believe in the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary Last I've heard, they still do. (Taken from Catholic Encyclopedia . com) " In the Constitution Ineffabilis Deus of 8 December, 1854, Pius IX pronounced and defined that the B…

Just don't start joinin different protestant churches cuz you liked an article or two from them.... :)

Here is an article that explains much about idle words. It was written by David Meyer and I think it will explain much. God's Last Name is Not Dammit What is one of the most common and often repeated sins? It is without a doubt the one committed…

Man, I thought someone died or something.... You're mad at God for a bad grade? Seriously...just get over it. I failed a few tests in my life but the only person I blamed for my grade was myself. The lower the grade I got, the higher the next grad…

Come on we are Christians, not Nazis! You can talk to her about whatever you think Jesus wouldn't mind hearing. Thats not restricted to only school talk. I have many friends at school and I have many more things to talk about other than school. Jus…

University? Well. Let me tell you a little something about the stage you are currently in. There is nothing wrong with you. Sexual attraction and wandering thoughts are sins that anyone has encountered before. I suggest you fast and pray. This is al…

No, he was actually talking about fasting. His disciples weren't fasting like the Pharisees (in which case if they did fast, it would be for their glory, not for humbling themselves). The Pharisees questioned Jesus why they weren't fasting, and he e…

Ever heard the old saying, "Best friends are your worst enemy?" It is very similar to this. Satan was comparable to a best friend of God. He knew all the secrets, and he was up there with God all the time. But can a person with your secrets be a goo…

The way Jesus was teaching was not how the Pharisees taught. Jesus was doing something new when he taught. Think about it this way, would you drink water out of a dirty cup? or would you wash it or use a new cup? I'd think you'd choose the latter. W…
