Hey Coptic Orthodox Musician,
Fr. Athanasius Iskander wrote about this in his book called "Understanding the Liturgy" (page 56)...
. . . which shall be broken for you . . . :
To many, this saying will seem difficult to reconcile with the
known fac…
Who are YOU (or me for that matter) to be "preaching"? You can't preach if you don't know what you're talking about. Do you really think a smoker cares about what the Bible says? Probably not, unless they actually want to quit. You too, my friend, a…
Another thing is you can try and sort your sins into categories... Examine yourself, and see which commandments you have broken, or sort them by senses (sinning with your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, nose, touching...feelings too I guess lol)
It wasn't because they were Christian...everyone just jumped to that conclusion (of course, it's what Egyptians do best). I think they already arrested 2 people for it and they were people who lived in the same building/house...I don't really rememb…
Of course nobody knows this right answer but here's what I think...
They may have been dying for their religion, but were they dying for Christ? Probably not...Muslims die for their religion all the time (terrorist attacks are an example), but does …
Christ4Life, it's okay in SOME cases. If someone moves away but they do not want to change their FoC, then they can call them and 'confess' over the phone. The only thing is they would have to go to a priest to have the absolution prayed on them...S…
Well basketball and sandrahanna maybe you should act like you care...I don't think LOL or JK should be used in a thread this serious. Yes, I am mean...and I'm not ashamed because I think you guys should smarten up. You guys make me less interested i…
Sometimes, I don't know if I should believe basketball or sandrahanna. I mean, they start off making it sound all sad and like they care, and like 2 days later they are making jokes about it. Sometimes, I think they are posting things like this for …
LoooooooL Mark423!!!
Anyways, MarinaIsFly...I do believe this stuff works but the powers come from the devil...yeeeeeeep lol that's all I have to say. And I also found this:
Another deadly kind of curiosity is curiosity about the Occult, Witchcraf…

I don't think this is a joking matter...please keep your stupid comments to yourself.
Thanks for replying biboy...Yeah I know it passed, but when it was being read I heard some things that I want to read over...I get really distracted lol...
But, you can also be causing them to SIN! far out, just ASK!
It's not like you told them to go spend their money on something stupid, they asked you for something and you gave it to them! I don't know though, it's only my opinion...
If they ask us for some money, I think we should give it to them. What they do with the money is not really our problem. We did our part by trying to help them out, and if they want to use it to destroy their lives...then so be it. That's only my op…
Well Sandra, no one had even posted in this post for 2 days now...You are the one who brought it back and you are the one with the problem. If people wanted to post in it they are very welcome to...
My prayers go out to the family and all those who…
I do not go to church often anymore because I feel closer to Jesus in the privacy of my room than in church.
I am no expert on anything, but don't you think that might be a problem? To stop going to church for that reason? It could be a trick from…
I think...I would just have to say that I back MarMar91 up on this. I too attend a Catholic school... :-\ lol...I don't really know what I think right now, because I still think it's okay to pray with people who aren't Coptic Orthodox ???
Anyways, p…

uhh, excuse me?
praying is talking to God, no ifs ands or buts....
I go to Catholic school as well and we pray everyday in school, i attend their masses during sc…
rf_zachari, he was just praying with them...not at a church or anything! I don't get it, it's wrong if I take part in the Advent prayers at school?! Like when they light the candles on the wreath and stuff?...We are all praying to ONE GOD...It's not…
If he has e-mail, why don't you try that? It's fast and convenient... But good for you for wanting to confess so bad lol...To be honest, if I were in your position, I would be like "too bad Abouna is busy I guess I can't confess :)" lol...Haha, anyw…
I am not understanding why people think it's wrong to attend other churches...I attend a Catholic school, and so I asked Abouna if it was wrong to take part in the prayers we have for advent. He told me that it was absolutely fine, because we are ju…
