Gents, I dont see Fr. Matta Maskeen as heretical.. nor is this issue (remembering your sins) something pertinent to his predicament within the Church NOR related with it. Remembering your sins is not a theological issue, or dogmatic one either. T…

lol imikhail, Please conclude whatever you want dear friend.. Fr. Peter knows how much I am frustrated over this... if the priest is knowledgeable or not - i couldnt care less. He said something Orthodox and was corrected by a girl!!! So George B…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11053.msg134105#msg134105 date=1301074154] How can this be allowed - from the Alpha Course website... North Africa: Bishop Paul of the Coptic Church in North Africa spoke of his desire to see Alpha running in C…

Well, I admit, the priests I know do not necessarily condone all this, but I find them very scared or nervous to draw their attention. They don't say anything. But perhaps they are being polite?? The priests in the UK are EXTRAORDINARILY polite an…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11053.msg134099#msg134099 date=1301071590] Zoxsasi, I am curious. When you talk to the Coptic priests, those who came from Egypt, and confront them about this course and tell them that it is Charismatic, what resp…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11053.msg134091#msg134091 date=1301067039] Wow, you have opened my eyes on a whole area that I have never know. We do not have this course in the Coptic churches in the US and I believe we do not have in Canada. I …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11053.msg134083#msg134083 date=1301063425] George Bebawy has been excommunicated from the Coptic Church. He has dangerous teaching concerning the concepts of Salvation, Judgment, Sin, Redemption, and Divination. T…

Dr George Bebawy is affiliated with this. Can someone kindly tell me what his status is in the Coptic Orthodox Church? Are we allowed to attend his lectures? Thanks

The Coptic Youth in the UK are strongly affiliated with a protestant /charismatic church called Holy Trinity Brompton, or HTB. This Church has founded what's called the "alpha" course, its to educate people about Christianity. The problem is tha…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11053.msg134053#msg134053 date=1301041659] Each bishop is father of his own diocese and so needs to deal with this himself. It might be good if the Synod issued an instruction, but it seems to me that the clear …

If I had not known the organizers of the alpha course myself and seen what they do and heard their points of views on charismatic movements, and SEEN it with my own eyes, I could have been forgiven that all this is just fear-mongering. But - its n…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11053.msg133955#msg133955 date=1300992551] It is a phenomena that has spread around the world and most charismatic Churches have been influenced by it. It involves mad laughing, rolling on the floor, making no…

Fr, that video is SO disturbing!! And the work of the Holy Spirit makes us walk like dogs?? NEVER!! This is sick to say the least, and this is exactly the stuff that protestants think is from God. Anyway, let me take off where I left: So, this ch…

[quote author=dzheremi link=topic=11053.msg133939#msg133939 date=1300986673] ??? With nothing in between? Just "Lord, Lord"? Wow. They don't know Matthew 7:21, I take it...? Yikes. Forget silly, that seems dangerous! I feel bad for those kids, and…

Its so annoying all this stuff... These Coptic Orthodox deacons in my Church who LOVE the tasbeha were complaining that the girls in the Church were going to HTB so much that when they prayed in the Church with them (in the Coptic Orthodox Church),…

Its the most BORING bunch of people with a very dead interpretation of the Bible and no sacraments. Extremely dry

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11053.msg133916#msg133916 date=1300969564] I have read many of the posts here around this discussion of attending Protestant gatherings: My question to those who would like to attend these meetings. What is that th…

I think when Fr Peter responds, he somehow writes his comments as if they are his opinion. Which is fine, but that gives you the impression that opinions are open for debate. Unfortunately, in this case, His Holiness Pope Shenouda has made it absol…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=11053.msg133667#msg133667 date=1300833918] How did she go into the church and do this? I am talking about the first page video. How was she able to bring people with guitars and start to do her songs? My bad tells me…

Apparently, there are 50,000 Coptic Christians in France (according to abouna there). So, I doubt there's only 92K in the USA.

[quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=11063.msg133629#msg133629 date=1300820716] I am surprised that we are the second largest church after the greek church. concerning the number of those who go to church regularly, i am not surprised. there are MAN…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11063.msg133626#msg133626 date=1300820324] Some churches are seeing growth. All orthodox have over represented their numbers. This is why orthodox must become missionaries in our own western countries. [/quote] …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11053.msg133607#msg133607 date=1300805669] Personally I think it is permissible with discretion to attend an EO event - though it depends on the composition. If it is full of people who insist that Copts are her…

I agree entirely with what you've said Fr. Peter, and even I have more reasons for NOT attending Protestant prayer meetings (that you have not mentioned). However, would it be OK, at University, for Copts to attend EO meetings or Catholic at least.…

[quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=11053.msg133598#msg133598 date=1300802318] I'd like to reply properly but its late where I am. Suffice it to say that I feel we could do a lot worse than hang out with Protestants. You clearly disagree, but I…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=11053.msg133594#msg133594 date=1300801243] We don't differ in our approaches. The protestant approach is error, it is not Christian. I was a protestant I know first hand as do many other of us who were protestan…

Well, protestants are going to tell you that salvation through baptism is not important, its only through faith. They will attack us on pedobaptism - how can we baptise children when they do not even have faith? They will attack us on confession - …

Actually, this is why I'm supporting Fr. Peter's websites - I want a resource center where we can just give these people a LINK to a site that will answer all their questions and explain WHERE they are or have been misled. Fr. Peter?? You see now …
