I agree with coptic pharoah, i think these days a lot of us don't have enough faith to be martyrs. I'm sure all of us would say that we would be martyred in a sec but when it comes down to it, i think a lot of us wouldn't be able to do it. You remin…
I agree with you to a point, but these fake things really dont taste like the real meats(at least to me) and i don't really like eating them, i only eat them as a source of protein besides foul. But if it is somthing that tastes exactly like the rea…
I can understand where you parents are coming from, they are just scared for you and trying to protect you from hardships you may face(whether they are right or not) Parents(egyptian specifically) tend to be that way. Just keep praying(i know this i…
I agree with all of you guys, Pascha is the absolute best time of the year. I think what makes it so sweet is that it only lasts a week. I love all the hymns of pascha, to name a few i love Pekethronos of course(avechnon too cause its same tune haha…
I've never heard this before, would you mind showing a source where you got this. The number makes sense so they would celebrate every 33 years but i've never heard this before
If thats the case then aliens is being taken out of context, Illegal immigrants are also called illegal aliens because they aren't real citizens so thats what it most likely means
An actual deacon-archdeacon some consider as the first priestly rank but not really, from epsaltos to subdeacon no, even though deacon and archdeacon are still part of the deaconate they are considered clergy

Its not as if they are lost, they are just in a different location, and why does it bother you that the king got the bible? we have a bunch now so its not like its a big deal now, and we don't need the notes to preserve what we already have we never…
I have no idea, probably because they will be better preserved there as well as Ragheb Moftah's partner was american so there is a possibility that its here as well as in egypt
Its not at the cathedral, its in the Library of Congress, also david ensemble might have notations out already at there website www.davidensemble.com i'm not sure, but i know for sure that all the notation created by Ragheb Moftah with Ernst Newland…
Having a crush is not a sin, its a feeling that you can't control, acting on that feeling and lusting after a person(possibly staring and constantly thinking of that person in an impure manner) is a sin. The best thing to do is to let your friend kn…
Your thinking in the wrong mentality which is putting you in despair, If you are doing great deeds then how can you think that you will not be in heaven? thats very wrong, and is exactly what predestination is saying that no matter what we do our fa…
We DO NOT believe in pre-destination, we decide our fate, God just knows who will make and who won't. When the book is saying written before the foundation of the world, its just saying God knows what will happen to us, because God is beyond time, …
Well you could possibly do a presentation like a story of maybe people in hades or a particular saint who was waiting in hades for christ to come and kinda make up a story that goes a long with what really happend. Does that make sense?

You seem to be focusing very hard on this 10%, so then why don't you do it? you speak as if you are trying to prove something, Like we all said, worry about yourself, if you want to give 10% of your time then do so, but its not a law. God knows our …
You can't compare us to muslims, there god is a harsh god, a god that punishes and allows hate. Our God is a loving God an understanding God, who knows our weakness and loves us despite them. Just as Hizz_Child says, don't worry about others and jus…
I think you might not want to generalize that statement, yes a lot miss part of the Liturgy but not all. You are probably asking the wrong people here on this site. The people you might want to target are the people who actually go late due to lazin…
You would have to read it in the context of the passage you are taking it from, you can't just take anything in the bible and take it out of context. i don't have time to right now maybe someone else can tell you if they have a Bible close to them. …
Elijah is one of two people who have yet to taste death and are not dead. So when it says he departed it must mean from the region he was in. We don't know where Elijah is now but he will return again in the end of days and testify for christ and be…
