yea a noncoptic or christian person does not know the power of the Resurrection. We definitly have a gift and an advantage if we can comprehend and truly understand the meaning of eternal life.
A punishment such as suspension from the partaking of Communion. While the person is clean of the sin after confessing, a punishment like this serves its purpose for comprehension of the mistake that was made. A person will not really think of their…
Of course you can listen to a woman preach the word of God.
To a protestant woman? If you recognise our differences, then you may listen.
It is infinitly hard to comprehend the Bible. Protestants have been doing it for 300-500 years. Copts have be…
Death is something to be thought about. Jesus Christ died and resurrected to save us from death. Death is life's worst enemy, so mankind needed someone who was above death, to experience death and defeat it. The only "God" who did that was Jesus Chr…
Satan was confused about the humbleness of jesus Christ. He could not comprehend God apearing in the flesh. Satan does not recognize humbleness because he himself fell into the ultimate pride of trying to show himself as better than God.
If Satan w…
yea there obviously has to be some kind of punishment for acts like this. Even though hands are wide open for forgivness, punishment is essential for both male and female because of the mistake. If no punishment is given, no lesson will be learned (…
oh lol
I don't think it was right for them to make those tunes on the Cyril. They are supposed to be a standerizing model for the hymns but it dissapoints me to see it under their name.
It is nice to learn about you.
God bless you and all the work you do for the preservation of the coptic hymns.
And didn't HICS make up the hymns for the Cyril Liturgy? Cause thats what I heard.
I like your response John. Especially your contemplation on the miracle of the blind man.
I am still a little bit confused on the part with the spirit and the body.
Mina you just grasped my point. What makes man superior is the breath of God. That is why he is not equal to a monkey.
Are you sure there would be no body without the breath of God? Because I don't think that you can be sure.
I think it could have…
You are using probability, and you know if God wanted it that way the probability would be equal to 1.
But that is not what I am talking about. Give me theology, philosophy, Bible I am not worried about math.

...and what about questioning the fact that God created man from nothing and instead created him in stages...is that not also undermining the power of God???

I will admit that i do not know much about evolution. I have only been studying it in my APBIO class so im still at a basic level. My teacher believes in God, but he also thinks evolution is valid. I thought to myself thatit isn't possible to have b…

If you are having a hard time just understanding the story of creation, then you are going to have a graet hard time understaning the rest of the bible!
b…
You got me wrong. Lol i am not for evolution i dont know what that means to you. I can see the creation happenning instantaneously as God said in Genesis. But the problem is the Bible does not say if it was or not (instantaneous).
We notice that t…
Hey Cherry,
I read that article and i thank you for your help. I agree with alot, but I feel that the article represented one person's philosophy of creation. I am not saying that he is wrong. This view is valid to me.
I still don't think the churc…
gman...
A good response. But i know there could be the same answer from an evolutionist that is just as credible. You said that creationists believe that all the lifeforms were a mixture of stardust and the spark of life. Evolution comes out to be t…
ok to answer Mina's question:
I see the versus you put for exactly what they are. God created all that we see. There is always going to be one mystery in science which is completely logical: What and how was the first cell that ever was, come about?…
By the way the closest thing to being proven is evolution. I add in my mind that it started with God.
So i do use the bible and i find evolution in the first chapter (through the specific order of organisms being created) am i missing something?
Yes AnbaBola, i agree that if it is against the bible then it is wrong. But evolution is not against the bible.
I want to ask a question about man made in the likeness and image of God?
God is not physical. No one has seen God. Is it right for me to…
