  • I am not worried for Christians in Egypt because God is our protector and if we suffer persecution...so what?? what will He do that Our Church as a whole has not endured? We are Gods people because of our Faith and suffering we endured and will endu…
  • Actually, Pope Shenuda is very correct that we DO NOT eat Divinity in the Eucharist. The Divinity is not matter that it can be eaten nor is Gods divinity physical. But yes! Gods Divinity is present in the Eucarist, just like the Divine Nature is i…
  • Put your hope in God, and not on people or princes.  Psalm 117 When we pray we say "let your will be done" We should pray for Gods will not for who we want!! that's our will. We do not really know who is good for Egypt, they can be both bad for E…
  • I would read: About the 4th Century Christianity, Constantine and St Athanasius & St Cyril.. These are very important to the faith and especially since a lot of people attack St. Constantine now a days I recomend reading his letters to the chur…
  • I also hope everything works out for you, and you are in our prayers.
  • Remember sometimes we also lose our faith because of an unchanging heart...  Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart..." Luke 21:34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down wi…
  • May God be with you... Don't think God did not hear you when you cry to Him for help.. He will not look at your tears and be silent but He will forgive and Heal. 2 Kings 20:5 ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: “I have heard your pra…
  • Does anyone have any information about the Qodas al Habashi (The Liturgy of St. John the Evangelist) As far as I know the 3 Liturgies St. Cyril - Is the Liturgy of St. Mark the Evangelist St Basil - Is the Liturgy of St James the lesser St Gregor…
  • Thank you, its always good to be reminded of the selflessness and humility of Christ. Blessed Holy week and Glorious Resurrection.
  • [quote author=Truthsetsfree link=topic=7483.msg98729#msg98729 date=1230046864] Undoubtably some of you have heard of the controverse triggered by HH Pope Benedict XVI 's speach where he said we have to save mankind from self-destruction... The repo…

  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=12981.msg152679#msg152679 date=1330633341] hi and welcome from another former protestant (i also didn't realise i was one for ages, due to being in a 'non denominational' denomination). try looking for the coptic pr…
  • Welcome Dustoftheearth to the forum and God bless you. Tasbeha means Praise. =)
  • [quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=12950.msg152425#msg152425 date=1330055428] [quote author=Pharaoh714 link=topic=12950.msg152423#msg152423 date=1330052273] Not really  in the Didache it says :  Ch 7:  baptism, which is to be conferred "in the Na…
  • [quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=12950.msg152403#msg152403 date=1330006490] qawe, I do not know where you are getting your sources, but there is no such thing as baptism without FULL immersion in our church. Period. [/quote] Not really  in…
  • Thats what I'm trying to say,  I know the Roman catholic church didnt come to Egypt until the early 1800's but when did it change its appearance to actually be Coptic and why exactly like Orthodox? why not have the priests dress like Latins? Is it …
  • Can you give us more information regarding the reading material, will it be books we need to buy or will it be view able online , downloadable etc?

  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=12808.msg150471#msg150471 date=1326642250] yes. after death, if we remain in the Christian faith. 1 corinthians 13:12. there is much more to say, but i'll leave it for others. [/quote] the Quote talks about seeing…
  • Both are correct to me. The E.O tradition is -    Jesus was in Heaven Came down to Earth (Up and down)  Then came to the Jews (Right) then to the Gentiles (Left). The O.O -  Jesus was in Heaven came down to Earth, brought us from darkness to the…
  • I wish people when they post Christian videos on Youtube add an English translation.. Remember you are putting the video for the whole world to see and majority of people speak English and this would be a great resource to spread the faith online an…
  • Well to be fair in some of our Hymns we call them Heritics too... and I brought this up to Abouna... Why do we call Other orthodox Christians heretics but we call the Muslims our "Brothers"...
  • I though this video shows  Patriarch Gregory III , Who is Melikite Greek Catholic, not Eastern Orthodox. The Greek Orthodox Church in Alexandria and all Africa is lead by Theodorus II.
  • Sing them... its easier for me to sing the Psalms in Arabic... They are all over Youtube Psalm 42: 135: 117: etc..
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11839.msg141535#msg141535 date=1310702198] + Irini nem ehmot, A couple other questions. Why do visions not present anything worthy of veneration or as revelations of spiritual truths? Additionally, what is the basis o…
  • I wasn't trying to ask if its right or wrong in this Topic... What I was saying is WHY are People using these Icons?? Why haven't the Church as a whole addressed this? I know Pope Shenuda wouldn't go inside churches that depict these pictures...  …
  • God does not create people to do a specific thing like you are referring to, neither did He create Judas Iscariot to betray Him.. But God is all knowing, He is present out of time and can see the Future and Past... He can see what Judas will chose..…
  • Forgive me, I am not very familiar with your background story but is your father coverting to Arianism ie (Jehovah witness)?  and what religion is your father is he Orthodox? I really don't get the whole story!! But none the Less may God bring him …
  • Perhaps its time Pope Shinuda and some Bishops should go to Mt. Athos and visit the monks there. Maybe this will give the Monks and even us a common understanding of each other.
