  • i remember a nice quote concerning agpia, maybe it was the one Copt4Life meant: If we forget to pray, time will remind us here's an article by HH who discusses all the advantages of the agpia, it's really good :) http://www.coptichymns.net/mod-pa…

  • nobody said engagement is like dating dating should be done for a great part within a group, and if the 2 are ready and mature enough about it they can go out together alone , if they feel they are ready for marriage and are really commited they ca…
  • ok in the New Testament, there's no such thing as women being unclean, because with the Incarnation of the Word, the Body has become sacred and a temple to the Holy Spirit The reason women can't enter the altar is not simply because they are women…

  • [quote author=CrazyCopt link=board=4;threadid=983;start=0#msg17361 date=1104899974] nicely said FallenCopt! that's why sometimes in confession, our FOC gives us advice on how to deal with our sins and to make sure we're not a stumbling block for som…
  • Ok, let me put it this way, if ur next to president talking to him, would u sit on a chair, or lie down? I assume u would say no lol, so if u would do that when there's a president, how much more should we stand in fear and respect when the King of…
  • i'd like to see the video of the coming Nativity feast available just as the previous Easter LIturgy. i hope it will be available :)
  • Cherish your friends and family i like this one :D thnx for the wonderfull thoughts Jfranklink :)
  • I agree with Fallen copt, being spiritual doesn't mean u cant laugh and joke Jesus had a perfect character, and he attracted all kinds of people to him, so i'm sure he was fun to be around with
  • actually, it's not a vesper before the Liturgy but a morning raising of incense. Before that is the midnight praise, and before the midnight praise is the vesper praise, usually done in the afternoon before the Nativity Liturgy if u follow this lin…
  • personally, i think it's not really a problem if u don't confess every week or on a regular base. Some people feel the need to confess very often, and others only when something specific happened, so i agree with u on that one. However according to…
  • the way of the festal psali depends on whether it's Batos or Adam The Batos tune is the same as any other Batos festal tune and the same for the Adam (listen to the Nayrouz recordings by Ibrahim Ayad to get familiair with the tune) http://tasbeha.…
  • Self control with food helps u to control ur other lusts, i think we discussed this a million times on other threads lol the fasting on sunday's has nothing to do with the fasting to control ourselves and grow spiritually. We fast on sundays as a p…

  • if i'm not mistaking the id comes from the Gospel Of mary of Magdalene, which is a book that is false, and is not counted with the books of the bible, that's all i need to know about it; it's not true :)
  • i never read some much non sense in such an amount of words, there's no word that can describe the stupidity of that article >:( i don't think it's even necessary to argue about any of the written, God have mercy upon us
  • These are just reminders (just like the ones that say, don't spit after communion, don't walk barefooted, don't get hurt so you bleed, etc...) these are all reminders of what we should be doing before and after commuion. Just my thoughts. great poi…
  • So ladies, don't get upset nicely put lol, i agree 200% :D
  • ic, thnx for the brief clear explanation, if it's all based on misunderstanding than i guess we can solve the issue with dialogue!
  • wasn't the whole problem with the filioque that they actually added something to the Creed which is wrong in itself? anywayz, if they agree to get back to the original creed then maybe that can get us a step closer to be united again :)
  • it's not a matter of clean and unclean, after the incarnation the body is sacred, with the Holy Spirit dwelling in it. Not only women can't enter the haikal, but also men and non serving deacons can't enter, only the priests and serving deacons, so…
