Because: I Love Saint Mark.

Just don't have your cell phone on you. Have a Cross dangling in the mirror. Keep your eyes on the road. Always say the Lord's Prayer before you start your trip.

For Farayhee responses, you just have to end the response with the farayhee response: a aaaa a aaaa....or e eeee e eeee...or i iiii i iiii or o oooo o oooo or u uuuu u uuuu. Example: wa yaghfir lana khataya aaaa a aaaa na It's not difficult at a…

Concept: Propitiation as expounded by St. Paul.

U1, I was just teasing you. I like to keep things within a few sentences or phrases.
-
U1, I read your piece, very nice. Except: There was one paragraph that was a quote from your pal from cyberspace--me--ilovesaintmark (in the flesh and electronics). I am honored that you included my phraseology. Next time, add it as a referred…

K or C, I use the Bible as my reference and not a keg from a keg party.

Regardless, Jacob was married to: Leah and Rachel (not to mention the handmaids of each as procreation partners). Moses had two wives. As for Abraham: KJV: Gen 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt t…

I'm usually brief. To the point: NO PAIN, NO GAIN. A famous Apostle once wrote: "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Live in Christ--in all aspects of Christ's Life.

One is cold, when one has not felt the fire.

By Ecclesiastical account it is 33 and 1/3 years. By the calenday d'jour it is from 2 BC, 3 BC, 4BC, etc. No one can give an exact reckoning. What we do know is that He did not die of old age.

As a BTW: the Lord Christ also worked on the Sabbath.

There are plenty of people with multiple wives. Here's a cute example: Jacob. I have attended Sader meals. They don't use the jug in the refrigerator decanter for the 16 cups. They use little dainty cups (maybe 2 oz). BTW: They were Orthodox Je…

I also believe that David and Solomon had a multitude of wives and that has been deposed in the concept of monogamy and Holy Matrimony. I do not believe the Scriptures (at least my version) does not identify that the people were drunk at Cana of Ga…

In this case, I believe, to be multifold: 1. to prepare those who will die; 2. those that will live through the violence and destruction; 3. an appreciation for the suffering of others; 4. The larger issue: the ominous cloud that looms with e…

I believe I did. I'm not sure to a specific date or incident, but I remember in the recesses of my memory that it was done at least two times prior in the papacy of Pope Shenouda. Is it really that important? Maybe someone else will chime in with…

Mary E, There was no revolution--as a first point. Unfortunately, you are incorrect, there were plenty of Coptic (misguided) that were every bit at Tahrir Square. They were into the "kumbaya" moment that there was going to be a New Egypt with brot…
-
Sorry to correct you, but, we have never had political or religious rights in Egypt. The correct diction is: "We demand political and religious rights in Egypt." It is our country.

I don't know how to express myself after seeing that video. I think it is one of the reasons that the Liturgy has as a focal point a cry for mercy repetitively.

Clarification: Episcopal Fathers of the Coptic Church in the USA--Bps Makarios, Serapion, Youssef, David, Michael. Although they do not constitute a Synodal quorum, they do represent a local will for the sake of the Mother Church and See relative …

TITL, There have been three day fasts declared on local levels, eg, during the exile of His Holiness under Sadat. It was almost (literally) a weekly affair in the United States. There was no episcopal authority in the United States, and it was ma…

O.D., I asked for a transfer to this thread since I inappropriately (mistakingly) posted in the prayer thread.

U1, Nice. Very appropriate. Also predictable. Cephas, I forgot: Source: Merriam Webster
-
Cephas, If we look up the word "donkey" we will find that bears the synonym as the truncated form of the word "jackass". I mean that in the zoological sense and not the anatomical. I do not think slander is rendered in this situation for the simp…
-
Actually, I have to apologize, as I typed, I did not realize the topic of the thread. I would like Cephas to follow me to another for a reply to his remarks. I agree that my remarks are out of place in this thread. If I had the ability to move the…

The Lebanese believed in all of that nonsense. Who is the majority, now? The Christians are being taught how to roll over and play dead, lick their master's hand, and they get a little pat on the head. Al-Azhar is setting up an obedience school f…

Article 2 of the Constitution of the Arab Republic of Egypt does allow for any possibility for equality. They appointed a Christian Governor for a "couple of hours" and that was vociferously and violently opposed by those now "moderate" Muslim Brot…

Ophadece, I ridicule the naive nature of the Copts in thinking that they can trust the majority. There was no revolution. It was a bunch of misguided youth, who thought that all of their cool internet toys would make a difference. The reality is…
