When in doubt, go with His Holiness' explanation, word, cautions, bans, etc. He is Divinely Inspired. He is the Father of all of our Fathers. He is the Absolute Theologian for the Coptic Orthodox Church. There is nobody that comes close to his u…

That's exactly what I meant! I just went with the abbreviated form with a little stunning affect.

Wow! Strong and truthful posts! The main aspect of the Christian existence in the cited coutry of Egypt is that when the Copts present their Christian principles they are quintessential to the vitality of the State. When the Copts have acted fool…

I believe your issue should enroll your university advisor in the process. I believe there are academic hearings that may be arranged where one may argue their case and present evidence. I think that greater credence would be given if there was …

I heard the end of the world was supposed to be tomorrow.

Q2, The explanation you ascribe to H.E. Metropolitan Bishoy, is actually from His Holiness originally. It is the explanation and meditation from H.H.'s book: "Seven Words on the Cross". I think the way you summarized things is probably the best …

Amen, Brother JG

I have to throw in my two (obnoxious) cents in: 1. Obama is not the Anti-Christ, he is Satan himself. 2. Hillary is Satan's Child. And the end times are coming because the Red Sox won the World Series last year. Sorry, I had to be funny. I've …

godislove260, Where do you live? I hope it is not Holland. Your reflection on the sermon was very nice. Too true... One of my favorite verses from the Psalms is: "If I forget thee Jerusalem, may I forget my own right arm." I think every perso…

It [the Apostles' Fast] is considered the oldest of the fasts as recounted by several bishops, as an institution placed by Church Canon and the Apostolic Constitutions. It was in emulation of the Lord's Fast prior to instituting His Ministry. The …

When referring to the aspect 'only the clergy and the servants carry through on this fast', this is in reference to the running joke among our people that: 'the priest and his wife are the only ones that do the Apostles' Fast'. It is only a joke, …

Hey dumdum, I am interested of your denominational affiliation. Your statements are quite interesting, although I have never heard such an interpretation. Maybe Iqbal can chime in on any experience on this issue. BTW, I have been called "idiot" …

The Nicene portion ended with: "We Believe in the Holy Spirit." Later at Constantinople, the clarifications as they pertain to the Holy Spirit were added.

What kind of powerpoint presentations? Topics?

How about ask for a passport number? and you may refer him to the Catholic Relief Services that are in the country.

mnc_hnn, I read the particular link to the given thread and I belive coptic pharaoh answered quite well. You have to apply logic to the situation and be able to appreciate a scam. By being charitable, it does not mean being open to the wind with …

The purpose of the example was to be able to extrapolate that we should always be looking to share even on a local level. These practices allow us to think on the simple level and the grander level. My father gave me as an example never to eat in…

Thank you for the reply on my behalf, JG.

Money, donations, money, and donations! With specific earmarks for the poor. As an example, I give a check for the general fund of the church, and I will give another separate check with the label at the bottom for: "The Brethren of Our Lord in E…

Jydeacon, Strong and thoughtful words.

JG, I do not mean to give a sharp reply to you. My comments are directed at the trivializers who have posted previously, and who discount the gluttonous nature that our people have adopted in the diaspora. I believe it an absolute necessity for o…

JG, Nice link. It is quite an expose, however, it does not change any of my postings in this thread. I think I was quite expressive of my thoughts, although others seemed to trivialize the situation at hand. Our people in the diaspora are living…

Severus, This has been a new trend on a parish level in some Roman Catholic churches to make these claims. Although, I will say and thankfully, there is no official doctrine from the RCC as to animal presence in heaven. It may also be done in the…

Coptic Pharaoh, If you are Roman Catholic, it is correct to say so. Posted by: coptic pharaoh Insert Quote i have a question.... we say that our Pope sits on the Chair of St. Mark what is wormg when they say that their Pope sits on the Chair o…

Dear Clay and Severus, I read your points, and I beg difference with the Catholic website trying to slant the infallability issue to the mid-third century. There have been plenty of commentary on the fact that the Catholic Church has used a great …

I do not recall any reference for His Holiness Pope Shenouda asking for any referendum on his papal election. The system, at present, does not favor diocesan bishops because they, relative to recent precedence and ecclesiastical laws, have been eli…

Being peaceful or loving does not mean being a doormat. It also does not mean to be acquiescent. Our Lord was not a doormat in any form. He was stern at times and He did show anger. He made His points quite eloquently utilizing different techniq…
