so, is your best friend a robot? maybe humans, despite their flaws, are better at relationships than robots. God created us to have relationships, especially with Him. :)

there is lots going on: http://evangelismcopticorthodox.org/evangelismgroups.html for example, and also there is evangelism we can't talk about because it's not 'allowed' in some countries. but we all need to speak to our friends and neighbours. no…

tell us more. were his parents lax in other ways? did he and his siblings take Holy Communion from a young age? did they grow up instructed in our Christian faith? if so, i think it is very likely he was baptised. but if no-one in the family got a …

i don't think there are any recorded cases of orthodox stigmata. but i, myself would not comment on the catholic cases; who can tell whether it is a miracle or a bit of hysteria? it would be bad to get it wrong, so better not comment.

ya ahibeyee, it's over my head shuwayya! ;) but, never mind, keep chatting in coptic, it's good practice for when we get to heaven ;) servant 33, it seems the answer is not simple, but thanks for trying to simplify it! so i'm going to go back to m…

hi, glad u sorted things with yr mum, not everyone has a mum like that who is a good judge of character. but for those who don't have good parents, God will provide the right people to give advice. never go it alone in a relationship, it's great to…

i have asked lots of people this question but i don't think we really know. both ways are fine. the early Christians used to do the sign on their foreheads with their thumb, then it changed over the years to become a sign we make over more of the bo…

hi marmar, we didn't find any fresh red dates, but my lovely husband went out and bought me some dry ones from the chinese shop and he's not even coptic! :) hi, everyone else, can't comment on the lingo - way over my head!

salvation: (something i wrote in 2009 and saved to my computer as i was answering this question all the time!) Romans 5 verses 1 and 2: ‘Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom a…

yeah, even we might not be saved if we do the wrong things and disrespect God.

this is all good advice. also it's better to go through this decision making process now than in 10 years time when you realise you still hate medicine but u have a wife and 5 kids depending on your salary! i met lots of people who regretted becomin…
