Translation of the last post:
In a day like this St. Thomas the Apostle was martyred. This saint was born in Galilea, and our Lord and Saviour chose him amongst the twelve apostle. He's the one who told the disciples when the Lord wanted to go to r…
Hey QT I think this verse will answer your question

Hey, ok it's not an orthodox church, and it's not that beautiful on the inside, but on the outside the Dom of Florence in Italy was absolutely wonderful. I have never been so impressed by a church architecture before in my life.

Wow QT amazing how one can influence others that way.
Of course we shouldn't go around preaching things that even we don't always obey...

People should see our good deeds and glorify God, or if t…
Hey coptic pharaoh, I agree with what you said, although I think it's a bit extreme to say that muslims are the reason for our strong faith. But I would say that the persecution we have to deal with with SOME muslims, NOT ALL reminds us that we are …

I have a couple of comments to make
Firstly, why do you feel such pity on the people of el Zabaleen???
I have been there, and although I must say that hygene wasn't present at all in the area where they lived, the churches (there were many) were ab…
Don't tell God how big the storm is, but tell the storm how big your God is.
Pope Shenouda said this one, it's so beautiful: The weapon of death is in the hands of your enemies but your life is in the hands of God.
Very well said clay,
I agree, our focus shouldn't be on how to attack islam and destroy it, but on how to be better christians ourselves... When people see the light of the world, they will come to it and wish to be enlightened. Christ told us that…
Once an atheist asked a christian: What if you die and find out that there was no God and no hell and no heaven. Won't you regret having spent your entire life following His commandments and obiding by His rules?
The christian answered: If after I d…
No it's not stupid at all. But what I meant is that there's more to it than just money.

Indeed a beautiful contemplation QT, and I'm sorry I don't know the priest's name who sais the sermon about the three youths. Maybe it was abouan Morkos Milad or Dawood Lam3y.
About Joseph though, what I like most about him is his ability to forgive…
I thought we made a difference between partaking OF and partaking IN
