epshiri, You have not found a 'loop-hole' in the orthodox faith, and you are not bringing up anything that has not been questioned for centuries. Basically no matter how anyone on this forum tries to respond to you their answers cannot be complete…

go to this link and then click on the spiritual songs tab and you will find Antoun Ibrahim Ayad, and you are right his voice is amazing. http://www.saintmina-holmdel.org/Multimedia/index.php God Bless

"If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains." (John 9:41) I think it means that if you did not know the truth and never saw "The Light" you would be innocent of you sin and claim ignorance. But a…

Thanks for your help Andrew, but for some reason it won't work on my realplayer. But if anyone else has a live recording of it for the nativity that would be awesome. God Bless

Hey Dgorgy61 if it is no problem can you send it to me also? Thanks

Dear coptmorous, I commend you for defending the faith and searching for answers in order to lead others to the truth. It is unfortunate but I am also hearing more Christians that I know accept evolution. What they do not understand is that creati…

Responding to godislove's claim that "[gays] are deprived of their civil right to get married to whomever they would like, this right, is a right they should have because they are civilians." You are basing this right on the assumption that people…
-
godislove, After 4 pages of back and forth discussion that has seemingly gone no where and not changed your mind at all I would like you to clearly state the "rights" that gays are being deprived of and the "horrible" discrimination they face. Go…
-
please godislove260 explain to me what terrible discrimination gays are undergoing. It is a shameful of you to compare their situation with those of Egypt. I do not live in Egypt but apparently you do so you know more than I of the great inequality …
-
godislove, If you believe that the state recognized marriage is a civil right then how come a man cannot marry two women or a brother marry a sister, etc. Why should we allow gays to get married and not these people. Is that not discrimination. Wh…

Jesus Christ said that he who is given much is required much, and vice versa applies. So we being born in the Orthodox Church are required to partake in all the sacraments because we know the truth. Some of the protestants do not know the truth and …
-
godislove260, you like many people now are very confused about the so called injustice that homosexuals face. The fact of the matter is that they face no discrimination under the law, maybe prejudice by people but that cannot be controlled. They c…

Welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Church roberto123. About your problem with sinning and being away from God and feeling bad about it...welcome to the club man. You are not alone, but the worst thing you can do is let the devil play tricks on you. He w…

Absolutely bro, to be one with God and have peace you must first have peace with all his people.
-
people do horrible things all the time and get away with it and not all good people live perfect care-free lives...my point is the world is not always just but when it is all over and we stand before the judgment seat God is just. As we read in the …

I do not believe that this is the way God works. The Old Testament is much different form the New Testament. In the Old Testament God would reward and punish his people with things that are visible. For example he would bless them with more children…
-
At the same time do not use your sickness as an excuse not to fast. Nobody ever died of fasting while they were sick...and how much more does it mean to fast for Christ while you are in pain and the conditions are not easy and convenient. So I urge …
-
The Coptic Church believes in micro evolution and NOT macro evolution. As for dating fossils and all that...it is just plain inaccurate. It is making a standard from something you created. For example taking a book and saying that this is 12 inches …

First of all to this kid, there is nobody who is perfect and does not commit any sins. I think that is a very important point you must make to him, only God is perfect. Secondly the Bible is the Word of God, it is God in black and white and we must …

1 Samuel 16:7 "For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." God Bless

I think it is hard to choose a candidate that is closest to our religious beliefs, because in a way they contradict each other. Most Republican candidates for instance are anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion yet at the same time do not want to expan…

I do not think it matters how much Guliani knows about our religion, the Coptic Orthodox people are a minority in America and 98% of Americans have no clue about our faith. So it is just about impossible for us to affect the political agenda and peo…

His Holiness Pope Shenouda III is a blessed man. God has truly usen him as a great instrument for the Coptic faith as well as Christianity in general. He has united many of the churches for discussion on points of agreement and this in itself is a m…

Dear Shh, I understand that you are going through difficult times and have succombed to the desires of the flesh. But...welcome to the CLUB.. we have all fallen into the very sins that we try to avoid so diligently. But we can't help it, it is our…

The quote I believe you are speaking about Tishori is "Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?" Corinthians 11:14. This section in the book of Corinthians is interesting by itself, the whole issue …

again doubting thomas you are getting into health problems with smoking, obviously showing that you completely missed the whole point of my post and focused on how i compared it to unhealthy eating. Yet reading what you write you are proving my poi…
-
It seems that you guys are mostly focusing on the health hazards of smoking, but almost everything we do damages our health. For example, Should we stop eating at fast food restaurants because it is too fatty? The real question is whether or not smo…
-
i know this forum is on drinking but i would like to expland it to smoking also. Is it wrong to smoke? I do not see any harm in it as long as you are reasonable in your intake. God Bless

Usually when people think of humility they think of weak people or people who are always saying "I am nothing, I am a sinner, etc" but this is not the true humilty. The first way to achieve humility is to not think less of yourself, but to think of…

It is true that the sacrament of communion is truly a blessing that we take forgranted. We are given the flesh and blood of which we are unworthy of looking at. We stand one foot away from God himself and sometimes do not realize it. Which one of us…
