You learned how to read in a month?! :o I learned 5 years ago and still can't read. I practice a looot, almost daily. I'm really not sure why it's taking me so long. Good for you geomike!

No status update. Alrighty. I'll just assume either everyone's finished memorizing the Book of St. Mark or everyone forgot. Father Peter, you're supposed to be checking up and reminding us! I should get paid for doing your job. I'll accept 10%…

Call unto John_S2000 and he will answer you! ;D Perfect signature.

A great perspective ;) I definitely agree and respect your opinion. Although it's the idle way of living and thinking, it's actually really hard sometimes to follow when looking for a spouse. Personal beliefs and culture seem to get in the way most…

I guess I was replying to your first sentence about being unsuitable for Coptic women lol. I agree with the points you made, to an extent. God most definitely uses the weak for the Glory of His name, but that "uneasy"/"uncomfortable" feeling (as M…

Dealing with the Kids: 1. Do you visit them? 2. Do you ask about them? 3. Do you set-up get togethers for them? 4. Do you celebrate their birthdays? 5. Do you learn about their baptism date? 6. When a person is being ordained, do you keep tra…

I'm guessing that Marian wasn't referring to converts in her post. Converts wouldn't be treated the same as Copts from birth.

I remember reading a few answers from HGBY about this on suscopts.org. Here's one: http://suscopts.org/q&a/index.php?qid=955

Yes, TITL ;) Btw, I hope your sunday (saturday?) school lesson went well marmar!

Thank you Father!

Did you end up using "This is the Body" as your theme song? I want to hear it!!

Lol agreed! Alright I'm sorry for drifting your thread; I just didn't want to create a new one. We can go back to talking about the Ahram survey. Commercials over guys (but please do keep Libya in your prayers!) ________________________________…

Yeah, his son's speech yesterday was completely shocking, and I quote, "This is not Egypt.. we will fight until the last man, last woman, last bullet". He said if protests continue then he'll turn the country into pools of blood. He's already puttin…

The current situation in Libya is faaaaar worse than what happened in Masr. I hope we can all remember them in our prayers. It's about time that Muammar el-Qaddafi leaves office (him and George Washington were appointed president the same year). H…

I don't recall hearing 3 nights. I think you mean Jonah?

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10755.msg131127#msg131127 date=1298117681] Dear children, should I be discouraged? 132 people have viewed this thread. 52 have gone on to visit my website. But only 6 people have subscribed to the Mission newsle…

I don't drink coffee, but everyone I know, including abouna, uses creamer during the fast. I really don't think it's a big deal. If we become THAT picky with food, then we can even say some bread and pasta are not fasting ;) Just don't compromise…

You know the answer. Yes, both are forgiven.

You gave the example before about your friend who lived with her boyfriend as a married couple. An Orthodox person would look at that and say "it's sinful", whereas your friend saw it as being completely normal. For an Orthodox person to go and comm…

Hey marmar :-) I have a good idea. How about you call up the people you're giving the lesson with (I'm assuming you're not the only teacher because you said "WE have to prepare") and decide with them. It'll be easier to plan it with them, instead …

One has the Spirit of God to discern between right and wrong and the other doesn't? I don't think I understand your question.
-
Oh ok, I can see where the problem is now. Let me make it clear that never in my posts was I referring to people who converted to Orthodoxy. That didn't even cross my mind actually. I wrote my posts regarding Copts from birth. I wouldn't look at a c…

My goodness Zoxsasi. I meant St. Paul once was a murderer. It's in the Bible that he was. It's a fact, not my opinion. HE. IS. IN. HEAVEN. If one repents, their sin is gone and they become saints. I'm noooot refuting that. I don't know why you t…
-
No that's not what I'm saying. It applies in all situations. It even applies if one hasn't repented. We shouldn't ever treat people differently--all are equal in the sight of God. What I'm saying is choosing a spouse is much much different than just…

I have no idea what you just said, but yeah I think waiting for Father Peter is a good idea.

ilovesaintmark, I wish you would post more. We all cherish and respect your opinion-- even if it's short and brief. Zoxsasi, You can't turn marriage into a yes or no question. It's never as simple as you put it. I can't get married based on my…
-
I don't think you're using scripture the right way. You said "Do not call unclean what the Lord has made clean". Not wanting to marry (a person who is going to affect YOU, your kids, and ALL your futures after death) a bad influence is not calling s…

Lightening, I was trying to make a point. I agree with you. No one can predict the end of time.

What if your watch says 12:01, but it's actually 11:59? Lol, I don't think we should think that way. A fast isn't over until you sleep and wake up next day. That's what I have been taught.
