  • why not use this opportunity to talk to him about our church?
  • thanks 'I belong to Jesus', those are really good ideas... are there any others?
  • Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, 17-18 1 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter—“Madness!”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” 3 I searched in my heart …

  • [quote author=the_least link=topic=9508.msg117132#msg117132 date=1280258278] I don't know what that priest was thinking, it clearly says in Matthew 7:6, "do not give what is holy to the dogs".  ;D ;D ;D [/quote][quote author=lightening link=topic=95…
  • [quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=9688.msg118952#msg118952 date=1283604033] That's wonderful news! God has blessed them both :D I have to say that I think it's wonderful how Copts all over the world were brought together by this effort - it …
  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=9688.msg118954#msg118954 date=1283620189] lol, i made a program that automatically makes a facebook account and votes for you. Then facebook gave me an ip ban for like 3 days because they caught me. lol. Atleast i go…

  • [quote author=Pi Onkh link=topic=9536.msg117470#msg117470 date=1280984754] Generally speaking, most Arabic responses are not in the correct tune, when compared to the way it is said in Coptic. I suggest you learn the Coptic way then the Arabic just …

  • I think this is as ridiculous as offering incense to idols which our forefathers refused to do even when it cost them their life.
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9482.msg116871#msg116871 date=1279729735] I think we have discussed this video before and a real, live monk can be seen walking around earlier than in this section of the film, so it is not a miracle at all. …
  • I am by no means an expert but i'll say what I know. Concerning MICROevolution, there seems to be nothing in it that contradicts our faith. This is not to say that it is true, but rather to say that it could have happened. Concerning MACROevolutio…
  • I don't believe what kefleyohannes said about deacons is a rule but as minagir said, it's up to the person's father of confession how he wants to discipline him. Maybe what kefleyohannes said is true for clerical ranks but I don't think it's true f…
  • [quote author=Crazy4Christ1 link=topic=9373.msg116030#msg116030 date=1277695461] Jesus did that because the vendors were stealing the peoples worship. These guys put their stuff right in front of the gate of the temple, so the first thing you saw wh…

  • "the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37) "For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more" (Jeremiah 31:34)
  • minagir, so you're saying learning the alhan of our church is not for everyone or are you just saying we have to do it in a more loving way than force?
  • That's wonderful to hear. God Bless I've always dreamed of living in a place where everyone was an Orthodox Christian. I wonder what it was like back then in Egypt where everyone was Coptic Orthodox. There was a time when that was true, right?
  • when I saw parts of the Pan-Orthodox Liturgy on youtube, the Liturgy seemed pretty St. Basil to me... what am I missing? Do you pray both? Also, does anyone have a recording of the St. James liturgy or just the words written? Thanks
  • I think this happens when you're logged in on another computer... not sure though
  • Prayer is for everything; however, it's best to pray for God's will, not that you may win.

  • It's the devil again trying to fight our church for being very successful; however, we were promised that "the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18)
  • I also found this on copticheritage.org : The ascension of Christ Himself was part of His plan for our ascension as well. He ascended to prepare a place for us in His Kingdom. He ascended with our human body to give us the ability to ascend as well…

  • What other religion has people that would rather die than simply offer incense to a false God. What other religion has people (St. Stephen) that while being stoned to death for absolutely no reason were begging God to forgive those who were stoning …
  • This is just my stab at the question of why didn't Christ just disappear but ascended into heaven. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct me if I am wrong. I think it gives us hope that there is somewhere else, where we will go if we are faithful. Also, it r…

  • [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=9286.msg114936#msg114936 date=1275442500] You ask why did Christ ascend like that and not just disappear? Well, why did He choose to die on the Cross and not any other means? Its simply the way He choose to manifest…

  • I think also, Wednesdays and Fridays falls under First Degree. Correct?
