Sorry if my last post wasn't helpful to your predicament. I doubt that there is anything anyone can say that will help your faith. Its best just to pray. I trust that God loves me and His Commandments protect me.

[quote author=waterandspirit link=topic=10853.msg131793#msg131793 date=1298952519] I've always been a Christian. I've always believed in God. Why? Because I've always been taught to believe in God? This topic might be a bit more basic than many …

So, i'm just curious, no one is interested in helping with the a YouTube channel then? You should seriously consider what having an iPhone 4 means. This is a talent that God will judge you on: I gave you an iPhone 4, and how did you use it? Did yo…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10823.msg131762#msg131762 date=1298912876] Zoxasi, in my experience I find that it is necessary to engage protestants, and not in this tree hugger manner so many of our clergy embrace. Being honest and truthful is wh…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131757#msg131757 date=1298905623] Sorry, where did I say that apologetics is futile? Please don't put words in my mouth. If you read my post you will see that I said that what is required is substantia…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131755#msg131755 date=1298904622] I am not sure I agree that producing 2 minute videos will achieve a lot. I am already engaged in educating and explaining our faith. Much of it cannot be reduced to a…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131751#msg131751 date=1298901922] Why say that I attack Protestants? How is that fair, true or kind? [/quote] Fr. Peter, this isn't my desire at all that we do this video in terms of "attacking" anyone…

[quote author=lightening link=topic=7248.msg131693#msg131693 date=1298811694] WHAT A RIDICULOUS STORY!!! why does anyone need to hear this?... why should one waste the time reading useless things like this???.. May God forgive us for wasting the ti…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10823.msg131748#msg131748 date=1298898762] Zoxasi, the reason I say this is because I have experience in protestantism. I do not want to generalize ALL of them, but it seem as if they dont want to understand. [/quot…

I just want to make it clear - We don't want to hear your voice/my voice in the video. The question appears on the screen and a priest/bishop answers it. You just video it and upload it for others to benefit. That's it. If you have an iPhone 4…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10823.msg131744#msg131744 date=1298894284] The video response is very simple. You question his churches legitimacy, as I did in my apology against the JW video. If he cannot trace his church back to Christ through th…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131741#msg131741 date=1298886955] It's not up to me. It's up to God to find the support I need to be able to do these things. If God does not provide the support then it is impossible to fit everything…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131738#msg131738 date=1298885018] The problem is that HG does not have the time, and he is already working full time. [/quote] Exactly. I am not supported to work full time on this so I don't have the…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131735#msg131735 date=1298883010] But we are responding. Have you joined the Orthodox Purity facebook group? [/quote] Fr. Peter, I think a video response, by a priest, is the best answer. Orthodox …

Im going to play Devil's advocate here: Look how we spend time in a Coptic Orthodox Church: Here are a few sayings that you may here or see DURING a 2-3 hour mass. "The priest, with the incensor, goes around the alter and the deacon follows him fr…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10823.msg131581#msg131581 date=1298644241] Zoxasi, yea there is plenty of time for personal prayer, in fact when serving in the altar when the deacon is not doing anything they should be in constant prayer. I am gues…

[quote author=dzheremi link=topic=10823.msg131564#msg131564 date=1298623897] Can someone please clarify the point about the liturgy and personal prayer? Because from all I've read and heard, the liturgy doesn't have individualistic prayer because it…

[quote author=jfarag92 link=topic=10823.msg131556#msg131556 date=1298611583] i feel like we are generalizing a bit too much, of course the theology of protestantism is not the true Christianity, but that does not mean that all protestants are bad pe…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10674.msg131329#msg131329 date=1298335194] I'm guessing that Marian wasn't referring to converts in her post. Converts wouldn't be treated the same as Copts from birth. [/quote] I don't know why this subject has turne…
