a note about the monks: monks are not required to grow their hair out, infact many of them get their hair cut. the growing of hair as was metnioend before resembles a nazaritic vow. but its also a personal thing, i personally know a bishop who get…

what i remember learning was that: Jesus said He who dips the bread with me will betray me (or he who i pass the bread to first) will betray me and whne he passed it to Judas he got up and left

my view towards this matter (and i reprsent only myself not hte entire Coptic Churches' view in general) is tht it is a sin: -The first sin was the devil's thought of doing a better job than God and thus trying to be like him i see this unnecessary…

but how typical of mankind to abuse His gifts. haha sooo true.... i was just wondering what then is the Churche's opinion on smoking? I mean is it like our views on drinking?

This is not the case here. They asked for your opinion; your advice, and frankly if they asked a professor of physics to explain gravity, he won't pretend that it doesn't exist. Yes of course he wont' deny it, but at the same time his explanation …

Firstly, Doubting Thomas i dont find any of your comments at all judgemental, in fact i whole heartedly appreciate the passion you are puttin into your argument. So lets continue on with this: you said Firstly, if the priest says "oh in my religion…
