  • I'm sorry QT, I didn't mean to make it seem as if I thought you were arguing, forgive me.. As I said, I don't know enough about this subject, but it's just that we pray: My Lord Jesus Christ have MERCY on me, A SINNER and this lead me to believe the…
  • Mercy = Leniency and compassion shown toward offenders by a person or agency charged with administering justice, and = Alleviation of distress; showing great kindness toward the distressed How can you say that saying Lord have mercy or Kyrie Leyson…
  • I just received this email message from el kharoof el dal and it happens to be about this subject, I haven't read it completely yet, but it might help you... It's arabic though.. Hope you know arabic, otherwise I would translate, but you'll have to …
  • To continue on what a Lost Soul said, I share with you one of my favourite verses from the Bible : 1 Peter 5:6-7 : Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time He may exalt you. Throw all your worry on Him, b…
  • So then what's the official COC view on this? God Bless
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6725.msg89927#msg89927 date=1213034411] In the Good Friday prayers, we say Lord Have Mercy, 10000's of times. Why? If God just died for our sins, and He is for us, then who is against us? [/quote] I think the ans…
  • Christrules, I completely understand you, I mean I've had this before: not being able to discern God's will from my own, or from that of the devil... Maybe it's because we don't really SURRENDER our will to God in complete FAITH that He will guide …
  • So, is it correct to say this??? The punishment for breaking God's commandments is death (as stated in Genesis) After sinning humans became 'slaves' to death, sin and destruction. God never goes back on His words since He's just, meaning the punish…
  • Hey Joe, I was at the Abu Sefein monastery last summer, it's really beautiful and peaceful, hope you enjoy your visit to Egypt... Please pray for us when you're there... God Bless
  • Sorry Joseph, but I don't think we should be saying that Islam is a tool of the devil... In my opinion this is not what we should be saying as good christians + don't forget that there are also good muslims in Egypt who also criticize the unfair tre…
  • yes, I get it, but whatever our church thinks of this person, if he happened to get this dogma right (right=accorging to coptic orthodox teaching) then I guess there's no problem in using his words Because the quote you gave from suscopts is really…
  • Please explain this dogma by Anslem : Penal Substitution... Thanks
  • I also heard it explained like this: It's not God who's different between the OT and the NT, but rather the people. Back then, religion as in monotheism serving JHWH was threatened by many tribes worshipping statues and things like that. God had to…
  • Oh ok, I feel kind op stupid, but I had never heard it called like this before... Anyways I pray that God be with sayedna through his struggle.. God Bless
  • thank you all for helping out and posting.. I had originally just wanted to know the technical side of confession as in which words do you use when you ask for absolvence and whether you need to ask for it at all (maybe it's given automatically..) b…
  • Because God in His all-loving state gave human beings the freedom to choose. Some of them choose not to obey God's commandments and thus to be far away from Him. Being far away from God, knowing that you've lost your chance at salvation FOREVER, tha…
  • Simply beautiful post Joseph, I think you worded what many of us want to say, thankd for posting. God Bless Please pray for me
  • [quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=6648.msg89134#msg89134 date=1212400157] Hopefully the person will repent before he is executed and God will accept him.  But Jesus said "He who takes the sword will perish by the sword" ..that is very sad but th…
  • ALL THINGS work together for good to those who love God. Remember that as long as you cling to God and hold on to Him, he will always be there with you. As long as you WITH HIM, be glad and thankful about everything and praise Him because even thoug…
  • From the Gospel of Mark: 17A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and b…
  • What's marad el malakoot? Disease of the kingdom?
  • (This is not my own advice yet advice given by a coptic priest) Confess to God about your weakness, tell Him that you have trouble believing, and persevere and He will give you... Be sure of that ! Tell Him 'a3en 3adam emaani' Hope that helps God B…
  • I think maybe a synthese of what needwisdom and coptic pharaoh said is: We should always persevere and keep strong in the faith, even when we face persecution, but as Jesus told the man who slapped Him why do you slap me? and as Paus demanded they b…

  • I was wondering on your opinions on this: You may know that in Egypt they have reconciliation meetings (basically the two sides: the coptic victims and the muslim cleric) sit side by side and give eachother hands and pictures are taken and then ever…
  • [quote author=coptic pharaoh link=topic=6708.msg89725#msg89725 date=1212859727] ok... that makes a lot more sence....  sorry for the confussion....... thank you [/quote] No problem, I really liked your story though. We, the sheep might think we ca…
  • I think I didn't make myself clear, I answered Joe when he said that the devil WASN'T our enemy with this bible verse to prove that the devil IS in fact our enemy. But I never said that we should love the devil, in fact, I stated that in my opinion …
  • Thank you very much Coptic Pharaoh, I should have put the verse up there myself... Forgive me.. God Bless Please pray for me
  • Unfortunately there aren't any coptic churches in our town, there are a couple in Holland(Eindhoven and Amsterdam), but they're a bit far. And it's difficult to attend there for lack of time and opportunity to travel. Even if there were churches nea…
  • No, thank you flexmd for sharing his story in the first place... May God bless and keep you Please pray for me
