first, YOU and YOUR CHURCH have become so relying on men and their teachings and the so-called "logic" that you guys have ruled over you I expected as much from you coptic defender...lol or we will win. When the Church of Jesus Christ fights am…

Now some of the news media is claiming that Wafaa was not released but rather coptic church officials released this information to calm the coptic protesters in hope of avoiding further violent confrontation. I hope this isnt true and that this dear…

According to the article at copt.com, didnt it say that Waafa had converted willingly?Whats up with that?Whats the true story?

:( There's a good website called copt.com that has news on the persecution in Eygpt.I dont like to go there too often because it make me so upset!Something has to be done to put an end to this wretched persecution of the coptic christians.It's unb…

:) I just want to add one thing: After looking over some of my earlier posts I realize I may appear rather harsh or argumentative.Please forgive me if I offended any of you ,that was not my intention.I leave alot to be desired when it comes to tac…

correct me if i'm wrong, but the ancient egyptians don't tie in with coptic orthodoxy very much. You are correct...lol ;D

:) :) :) When I talk about being saved by grace I'm actualy refering and including the precious Blood of Christ{also the life, burial and resurrection,etc}.I would dare say that we are very close in our understanding of salvation.Even our understa…

:) :) :) Wow! That sounds wonderful! Your church truly sounds like a great place.I hope one day to attend a coptic service and experience this firsthand.I know it would be such a blessing.Thanks guys for explaining what "ourban" means. :D :D :D

. So many times people will think that God is a monster just because he is just. If you ever teach a class, or talk to your kids... if you are strict, and just they will think you are a monster, and that is how we some times view are father in heave…
-
Those were some beautiful insights!Very interesting.Could you please explain to someone who is ignorant of coptic terminology...lol...what "ourban" is?Is it Holy Communion,the partaking of the Body and Blood of Jesus?
-
One last thing, sorry, Priests don’t just say what they believe but what they were taught by the priest who were before them, and on, and on, until the time of the Apostles... so they are telling us what Christ would’ve told his Apostles and discipl…

for the thief he died with Christ... and was baptized by his own blood, just like many of the church saint He wasnt baptized in his own blood{thats a church tradition not taught in the Holy Bible but rather originated by men such as tertullian who …
-
He is undoubtably a good man and saying only what He believes to be right.I am only saying what I believe to be right.If you have another Coptic priest he might even disagree with both of us.The early church fathers were not even in agreement on eve…
-
You make God dependant on human actions and make baptism and Holy communion more imortant than God Himself!These ordinaces were instituted by the Lord Jesus Himself not the church.They have not power or authority in and of themselves.The power belon…
-
YOU ARE RIGHT... they didnt do wrong to go to hell, but they are not worthy to see God. Thats wrong! What your saying is not in the Bible but is rather only man's fanciful speculations.Who are we to say that innocent babies are unworthy to see Go…

[First let me ask you, were America as a great nation as it is now, arround between the years 635 to 1700 AD? Well those were the worst centuries of Islamic prosecution against the Coptic Church. Yet, not one single nation intervened to protect th…

I think that USA acts only for its intersets wherever these interests are in Iraq , in Afaginstan...........(i might be wrong) Yes, you are wrong :D...lol...The world loves to hate America!They need to go back and study history and see all the good…

>:(, but i doubt bush will invade egypt. Your right,Bush wont invade Eygpt since He doesnt have the guts or the the desire to see the people of Eygpt free of their oppression.I think Bush is a pretty great man in many respects but he most define…

From all the prophecies that were written and fullfilled in the Bible, we know that Christianity is THE true religion meaning Jesus IS real, meaning that God exists!! Another good point!Besides the witness of the Holy Spirit we have the witness of t…

After reading that article and others like it,all I can say is the United States needs to invade Eygpt and put an end to Muslim persecution.Drive these cruel devils out and give the land back to the Coptic christians.That may sound harsh to some but…
-
That was a very good answer Cremedelescremes.I would also add that the inner witness {in our hearts}of the Holy Spirit is another proof of God's existence.We dont just believe because other people tell us God is real but rather because the Holy Spir…

:D :D :D By the way Fully Rely On God,It took me awhile to realize where you got the name FROG.Thats quite clever {what you girls would call "cute"}...lol....I feel like such a "sissy" using that word...lol ::) ;)

;) ;) ;)[ it just proves God's great wisdom in using nature according to his own will /quote] Your right!

I agree with you to some extent.God certainly does use natural causes to affect His sovereign plan and will for this world.It has played a very big part in God's overall scheme of things.But I feel some of these programs deny Gods hand and authority…
