I thought Pope John Paul II had decreed that he was no longer a saint? You are Catholic, I'm assuming from all the sources and your previous post, so you know more than me on that. "I have sinned, I have sinned: My Lord Jesus forgive me: for ther…

There's much more to being a epi-deakon and deakon than meets the eye. They are a very spiritually-in-tune, select people, who are called to this work. Not very many will be able to handle such a job. To be a Deakon is to be a leader wherever you go…

My friends, Maybe we are forgetting Christ himself was circumcised. He set the example - if we are to be Christ-like, we too should be circumcised. It's that simple. The feast, f.y.i., is celebrated on the 6th of Tobi (January 14 or 15) eight da…

Mike, All Copts must be circumsiced. It's a tradition and a sort of "hidden law". All boys should be circumsiced. - Chris Btw, tattoos don't hurt really bad. It's like running a sharp pencil over your skin with a lot of pressure. It's the re-co…

So what do you suggest Mike? What other things can we do to have a say in what happens in the government? Write letters, petitions, etc. to people in charge? Who cares...they usually throw them out anyway, they mean nothing. Please elaborate. Than…

Mark, Are you sure you're typing in their username and not screename? This can be accessed by clicking the screename, which will open the member's profile, and at the top of that profile is their username in black text. This is the name you must …

lol. PLEASE ask her. She probably is the most informative on what exactly she is. At this point, I have no idea in the world what she could be. My bet is that she's a nun. lol. But if you say she isn't....then i guess she's not. She is after all,…
-
She's not a deaconess. She's a nun. They don't have to live in convents. Some live in churches, temporarily more than permanently. And they are allowed to go out of the church, they aren't hermits. No one other than a nun, except maybe for the pr…

o0o0o0o0o0o. You should have said that before!!@#!@##!@#@! She's a nun. lol. Tasoni means "Sister". She's a nun in training then most likely. But if her name has changed already, she might be a complete nun. - Chris
-
Yea. Sorry. Didn't mean to type "white" I meant "beige". I know what you're talking about.
-
Whatever she is, she's in training. The white scarf on the head with the crosses usually means she is still learning her duty and on her way to becoming whatever she is.
-
Creamy beige? You mean like the color of a deacon's tonya? Veil with a scarf? I have no idea what in the world she is. - Chris

"dat fing" they wear? lol. What's "dat fing" they wear? - Chris
-
Hm. Interesting. Well, from what you're saying, she's doing some of the job of a consecrated deaconess. But twenties is way too young. I mean, I can understand them making an exception for 50's, but 20's? I don't know. Maybe you should ask her wha…
-
Oh. Maybe she's a nun? His foundations are in the holy mountains: the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob: They have said concerning you, honored things, O city of God: Alleluia. Zion, the mother, says: a man and a man…
-
Not possible. They don't let young women become deaconesses because they are distractions because they are still in their youth. Read the article found in the link above. It explains everything. Maybe they made an exception for her. Highly doubtful …

Ilabib, How do you know all this? I mean, God bless you for all your knowledge, it just seems you have the official Coptic view on every topic which is AWESOME!!!! God Bless you, - Chris

Guys, just to let you know CopticChurch.Net has a verse of the day, along with daily readings from the Katamoros, and the ability to have the verse of the day sent to your cell phone. And Maged already said: [quote author=Maged link=board=1;threadi…

Ibba, I think your priest knows best here. If he says Elijah still has yet to come, then he hasn't come yet. Period. I mean, there's not many facts that can prove he has come in the form of John the Baptist, and plus, since we don't believe in reinc…

lol. Who you call first to be your wingman. lol.

Tony's definitely right in all he said. You need the feeling of being ashamed of commiting a sin so that next time the moment comes before you choose to sin again, you think about that feeling. I hope that explanation didn't confuse anyone. For H…

It's 60 Mike. Nardin, CopticChurch.Net has a whole article on deaconesses and requirements and such HERE. Feel free to check it out, it's very informative and will help clear up things for you. Let us give thanks: to Christ, our God; with the psa…
-
Yea, right here. No there's no Coptic Schools anywhere on the East Coast as far as I know. I mean Coptic Schools as in elementary, middle, and high schools - not the theological schools/colleges that some deakons and priests go to to study. And who…

He was born in the city of Dakluba, diocese of Masil, from holy parents and he was their only child. Arselaos, his father, who was a priest, saw in a vision at night, a resplendent man telling him, "Your son must be entrusted with a large congregati…

If anything, its the Qu'ran that contradicts itself. I have this one thing to say about Islam after reading that book that I was talking about before.........Islam's not a religion, it's a cult. How can one want to go from a Merciful, Forgiving Go…
-
Mike is right here. I think there's more to it though. This was a question that was answered by a priest in a sermon once and I feel like it really is the truest, to the point answer you can find. He said that when you're doing things right in your …
-
lol. oh, well then...lol....i bought the wrong book. lol. im sure they both show the same side of Islam. So, I guess either book in this case would work for your friend Kirollos. - Chris

There are plenty of churches in Canada you can attend. Around what major city are you located? - Chris Theres 3 in Alberta. 1 in British Columbia. 14 in Ontario. 3 in Quebec. 2 in Manitoba. 1 in Nova Scotia.
