that's not abouna's problem whether she confessed or not...confession is something and taking communion is something else...if she confessed and truly repented than there is no problem here exept that she can't take communion...and if God saw that s…
Because the disciples thought that it would be preferred to write the words of Jesus than concentrate on His life...more emphasis on spiritual words than on history as explained above.
The Bible is a spiritual book not a historical one.
it's both with an emphasis on being spiritual...but it's both because if we say that it's not a historical one...some people are going to think that the stories in the bible never happened..but in …
Well one of the examples that I saw abouna do that was someone who divorced and got married again...and since that's wrong...abouna banned that person from communion. The other example was someone who committed abortion, and I think she was banned f…
You are kind of young to be asking that question and that's surprising...but oh well...take kBibo8 advice...your abouna knows better...don't seek the answer outside the church.
Yes. Abouna can ban someone from having Holy Communion. Some of the reasons that he might do that is if he knows that this certain person has committed a great sin that wouldn't allow them to take communion...and there are a lot of sins that can't a…
because they were passed down from the disciples...especially St. Mark...when he came to Egypt, he taught everything that Jesus did and said and passed that one until now...The Coptic church is one of the few Christian Churches that have an emphasis…
Emotional feelings is just having an emotions/feelings of love toward someone else...and that is absolutely normal when u like someone u feel emotionaly conected to them.
Lust is when you look at someone in a bad way and have bad thoughts and have l…
Well I heard that from my abouna...so u guys could correct me if it's wrong...He said that January 7 is just December 25 in the old calendar...meaning it's still December 25 just not on the new calendar..which means there is like 2 weeks between the…
ok here is what i meant again...if u are physically attracted to them that's sexual lust
if u aren't physically attracted to them that would just be emotional lust...which i see nothing wrong with
And also they are pretty...
u did mention they are pretty, it might still be the reason why u actually think about them. Well...what if they weren't as pretty, would u still think about them...well maybe u need to ask yourself that. If the answer i…
There is no difference between the Ethopian, Eriterian and the Coptic Church, in fact our church is in agreement with them, meaning there is no difference at all, and we can take communion there.
I think what u mean by the alter is the part that we …
What I understood from ur post is that u fear that when u are next to a girl u will fear looking at her in a bad way or lusting her without really have an intention to do so. I don't really agree with that. Is it possible to have an emotional lust, …
U are saying there is no sin in heaven...then where were Adam and Eve before they fell...they sinned right there in heaven...I was goning to mention the falling of the devil as well but u cleared that up...but what about Adam and Eve.
Thanks and God…
Benyamin is just Benjamin...I think he is a prophet in the Old testament.
Meawad...it's an arabic name...but it's kinda hard to explain it's meaning...but it's something like God will give u back what u have lost as in "rabna yewa3dak"...mewa3ad is…
I chose St. Mary though because St. Mary is the head of the martyrs!
St. Mary isn't a martyr, she died a normal death and was raised to heaven not martyred, she is the Head of all saints but not of all martyrs.
kBibo8...I am sorry but if u understand something..why make it into a big deal who know how to spell and who doesn't...that's just so judgemental from u...plus not most of us just use slang in writing...since we are all just youth and got used to sp…
