If you have wisdom and keep it from others, or hide it, then its selfish. Wisdom is definetly God given, and needs to be used to educate or enlighten people.

Ok, so I smashed the Jehovah Witness on the phone right, I recorded it and all. The main reason is because they have been canvasing this area and have not left us alone, I figured that would do it. then 3-4 days later they come knocking. Needless to…

[quote author=kirollos3 link=topic=9518.msg117482#msg117482 date=1281005629] a tattoo is not a way to come closer to God ... even pope shounda said getting a cross on your hand doesn't mean any thing .. a cross tattoo is like a cross necklaces aroun…

It takes time to accumulate points, like after 20 years you get a $5 gift card to Tim Hortons?

[quote author=abanoub2000 link=topic=9538.msg117612#msg117612 date=1281216077] why'd he stop foruming with us? :( [/quote] He is too busy being the most awesome cantor ever.

Wagdi is just plain awesome

Wagdi Bishara is probably my favorite cantor. Ibrahim Ayad is up there definetly. But I find something so soothing and comforting in Wagdi's voice. I have most of his coptic hymns on my iPod. Love the guy!

alright, done.

im 28 and I still havent figured it out.

[quote author=Kirolies link=topic=9513.msg117347#msg117347 date=1280712237] Back then they probably didn't have the same days we have today. A day back then could equal billions of years, that is probably were the dinosaurs would fit in. [/quote]…

This is such a weird subject. Its like, I dont agree with what their doing, but I dont care what muslims think. They, and by they I mean their religion, can murder our people on a continual basis, but non-muslims cant even draw a cartoon without rio…

Poor Adam. He made a mistake that every man today knows NOT to do. Dont trust a woman. lol sorry I had to.

The difference is, one type of prayer you are praying aloud, the other is in silence. Both are just as effective as a prayer is a prayer.

[quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=9525.msg117329#msg117329 date=1280629898] I agree - this is disgusting. It is good that we are expressing that disgust though - whenever Muslims make similar insults of our faith, it is always comforting to s…

Simple fact is, Islam is violent, the religion allows it and actually teaches it. There probably are muslims that dont believe that because they dont know their religion. I am not going to waste my time figuring out which ones are which. I dont let …

[quote author=geomike link=topic=9518.msg117302#msg117302 date=1280550568] wat's a gum tatoo? [/quote] They tattoo different kinds of chewing gum.

It is Ge'Ez, a version of Amharic. I read a book written by a Nibur Id, or Arch Bishop, I think thats the proper translation. And it was that word that just made it all click. It means the nature of Christ. And when the Nibur Id explained it so grac…

Jerusalem, I didnt even go back through and read who said what. As another person said, this is done in Ethiopia. It is an act of defiance at the same time as being a statement of belief. I see nothing wrong with this. Muslims wear their absurd clow…

I do see your point John. But much like we do with our church history, in establishing ourselves as the true church, we must find its origins. This is why Augustine rejected the book, not for its contents but for the simple fact, he had no idea wher…

John, they do eat with Abraham. Again, I would like someone to discredit the book of Enoch without discrediting St. Jude. Why would St. Jude quote from a book that is "heretical" when he could have easily quoted any number of verses of Christ? Can I…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9518.msg117275#msg117275 date=1280515079] I have read such things also. Thanks, I did not want you to think I was attacking you. I like being able to bounce comments back and forth with you. [/quote] I did …

My wrath was not necessarily directed at you. But certain people jumping to illogical conclusions asserting that because I would like a tat like this means that I would go down the street screaming the end is near. I found that rather condescending …

I find it amazing that so many people say how "crazy" this idea is, rip me apart for not being humble or whatever, then tell me how to be Christian LOL. I dont quote Origen all the time either ilovesaintmark. I quote St John Chrysostom much more th…

I hope you dont think I spend all my time trying to convince people. If it is one on one and the person rejects the truth, then what else can I do. If there is an audience, then I argue to convince them, not the person I am arguing with. Its a nice …

[quote author=✞Stavroforos✞ link=topic=9491.msg117020#msg117020 date=1280009012] A mission priest at a retreat told us it is our responsibility to plant the seed and God will water it. Its not necessary to argue and try to convince people of the Tru…

Aidan. Before I became Orthodox, I was many things. I had, at that point, settled on atheism, considering myself a nihilist, believing in no truth. When I realized that believing in nihilism, was to believe that there IS truth. Therefore there must …

Arabic is a horrible language too. Anyone remember the whole cutting out the tongues of children for speaking OUR language? Do you remember reading about being forced by this horrible satanic religion to speak its satanic language? Things a Koran …
