[quote author=GODlovesme link=topic=12381.msg144997#msg144997 date=1316643900] I am seriously considering suicide. I have many internal issues that I can't discuss with anyone that I have been struggling with and I really can't handle it anymore. Pl…

Ophadece, Let me put it to you this way (in arabic) God said whoever slaps you on the left cheek, offer him your right. He didn't say "offer him your affak" Slapping my left cheek is burning my church down and me not doing anything about it. Of…

Look, this thread is totally flawed. Let me explain why: A Coptic Christian in Egypt recognises himself in 2 ways: * As an Egyptian Citizen who is a religious minority * As a Christian. As an Egyptian Citizen, he or she has rights. Reacting to vi…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12453.msg145933#msg145933 date=1318331901] Any "niceties" we receive from any Muslim is purely related to their perspective of the Copts as "PETS". They can never look a Christian in the eye as a brother or a…

I didn't know that we sing Agios Athanatos Nainan in Khiahk. Why didnt anyone tell me!!!!!! Why did you keep this away from me??

I think the CTV programme may have been talking about medical tests (general) for both men and women - i think the Church deeply encourages this. It has nothing to do with virginity or anything - it has to do with transparency about your health so y…

[quote author=LoveisDivine link=topic=12362.msg144800#msg144800 date=1316171939] they try to put a Fijian spin on a lot of the hymns that they sing. They have a beautiful natural style where they use harmonies and things like that. Its a lot more …

[quote author=COPT.Mark link=topic=12200.msg143804#msg143804 date=1314559800] My "no, not as of now" was to answer your question "Darn.. can we get an official answer then?" As in, no, we cannot get an official answer as of now. [/quote] Sorted. T…

[quote author=COPT.Mark link=topic=12200.msg143800#msg143800 date=1314554953] Darn.. can we get an official answer then? The Church has never made Synodal decisions to appease curiosity. These decisions are only made when there is a real need to re…

[quote author=dzheremi link=topic=12200.msg143771#msg143771 date=1314514017] Zoxsasi, wouldn't your situation be a good example of economia exercised for you on behalf of your priest, and as such not a reason to posit that RC sacraments are "valid"?…

I'm just curious, but why is everyone using the term EO for the RC? The RC are not part of the EO. - I know the Byzantine Rite of the RC is indeed VERY close to the EO, and it is quite common for them to become EO's, but inherently, whoever is under…

One's entire attitude in a Church building ought to be somber and full of awe. Even the way we sit in Church has to be NOT TOO comfortable. Its not a place to have a chat. When entering inside such a sacred place, one's entire behaviour, or gestur…

I think also the hardest period in any marriage is at the start. Although you both love each other, you don't really know each other that well - you may think you have married a humble girl, (for example), but you will only see the depths of her h…

[quote author=Patrological Theology link=topic=12159.msg143598#msg143598 date=1314148052] Not once does Pope Shenouda reference Anselm. He does talk about "infinite sin", but never talks about God needing to restore His lost honor (which is where A…

[quote author=Patrological Theology link=topic=12159.msg143588#msg143588 date=1314139788] Well, the author who wrote the two books you mentioned (Pope Shenouda), also wrote Salvation in the Orthodox Concept. Based on that book, he would probably s…
