God does not create the future He just knows what is going to happen exactly and is not predicting it not that i am limiting the power of God its just He does not create the future

I agree with you 100% but unfortunately some people live far away from church and cannot make on time unless they wake up extremely early, the rule is if you come after the Bible you should not take communion but for deacons you cannot serve if you …
-
No of course not, i guess it is a distraction now because we are still learning how to use the ppt with all the liturgies and working the kinks out
-
I agree with you guys as well, although i don't agree with taking Coptic completely out of the Liturgy and hymns i must say that the projector will only be a hinderance to the deacons running it. i find that having to work on the laptop and keep up …

I agree with minagir, our church has a projecter as well but we placed it in a way that its not blocking any icons whatsoever and i get your point on that but the focus should most definetly not be on the icons during a liturgy so covering them up i…

Is it possible for you to catch a ride with someone that is already going thats somewhat near you? Doesn't your church have somewhere where people can spend the night like a small are with a couple of rooms?
-
Did you ever think about spending the night on Saturdays after ashia and tasbeha so you could just drive twice instead of 4 times
-
Instead of finding a video why don't come early one time take notes at church during a liturgy one day and then ask abouna to explain any questions you might have about what went on or why he does something or why we do such and such, i also recome…

I don't know how old you are but i'm talking about the younger generations in the church, 8-14 year old range, who have lost respect for the church, its hierarchy, and when the deacons start doing their jobs by disciplining the deacons who are young…
-
Minagir is right, the parents themselves aren't teaching the kids on their own and basically they just hand them off too the deacons as if it is a babysitting service. and then when the deacons actually do discipline them and teach them that its wro…

No dancing is not a sin, its the way you dance that can cause others to sin therefore making you sin, if you are dancing dirty then you are provoking lustful thoughts in others which may cause them to stumble which then in turn is a sin on your part

I wouldn't say it's going exticnt i think that threat has passed, and yes there is a translation but you still must keep things practical, now i'm speaking in a liturgical sense and not the hymns themselves. the hymns should stay and always be in co…
-
That would be a nice thing to do, but its not practical. the fact in the matter is most people don't understand Coptic so it must be a mix even if it were a small mix between all three languages with a majority of Coptic

Yes today is Columbus day but not all schools get today off, especially colleges because they are state funded institutions and not federal, so as i see it if the school is federally funded then they get the day off if by the state then they don't

No i live in the United States my whole life but i have been to Egypt many times why?

One thing i would like to correct is Epouro means King not prince, second i would like to say something somewhat objective and i hope nobody has their feelings hurt. (by the way i got this from a bishop's sermon can't remember who) somebody was aski…

I agree with Hos Erof, we should not have to change our hymns for the sake of converts who want to be apart of OUR church, if necessary establish a daughter church where they can celebrate as they wish(within reason of course) i still find this topi…

Actually the British Orthodox falls under our church and their Pope is HH

Is this narrative supposed to be one of Christ?
-
This is very interesting, i have read Matthew many times but never noticed this verse before. i would love to hear what others have to say about this because i am as taken aback as you are.
-
Yes that is exactly how i looked at it
-
Actually on the Saturday before Resurrection there is a Liturgy in the morning which is the Apocolypse service and then there is at least a nine hour difference between that Liturgy and then one for the Resurrection. Second i would like to point out…
-
Oh yes thank you for correcting me,
-
Thank you guys for your input, since the feast is over i'm going to lock this topic tomorrow because as it seems there might not be a for sure answer until the synod decides it.
-
I find the translation that minagir posted as very concise to what the actual verse is saying, in reality it says died on the cross in coptic but crucified is basically the same and you cannot have a direct translation for most things anyway. that i…

Yes that is correct, today is the last day to say anything for nayrouz(you could always say it when you want outside of church of course)
