  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] It's not that easy.  You can't just go 'pick up the agpeya' and you're on your way.  I lack the drive to make an effort.  Since you've experienced this, how did you get the drive to start praying in the agpeya…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I fail to see the problem with holding Copts to a higher standard.  While some of the comments may have been inappropriate, that does not undermine that we should certainly hold ourselves to a stricter moral c…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I am facing this exact same dilemma right now as well.  My drive to pray is non-existent even though my spirit longs for it.  I know the beauty of prayer and I've experienced the joy and peace that comes as a …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `homt>[/coptic] Regarding the names of the angels, I think we should take a deeper look at the meanings of the names.  Granted, the names seem to be masculine, but names can also be thought of as descriptive titles (see Matth…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If His Holiness is okay with it, however, then so am I. Oh boy.  In my opinion, this is definitely NOT the best mind-set to have.  All patriarchs are human, and thus, are susceptible to mistakes.  Just because …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I think this is a common misunderstanding.  Christ was not a Nazarite, He was a Nazarene (from Nazareth). 
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Silent.Monk link=topic=5602.msg74873#msg74873 date=1185463099] Guys the focus of my question was not about the individual but the concept of forgiveness itself. [/quote] I'm not sure I see how i…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You are quite welcome.  I believe that there are other sites out there where you can buy icons as well.  Just do a google search of 'Coptic Icons' or 'Coptic Icon stores' or something.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Hey Safaa, Thanks for sharing that.  I guess it shouldn't be surprising that there would be word-play involved like that, especially when it comes to prophecies. 
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] It looks like you can purchase icons here at The Icon Gallery. 
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I did a quick online search, and it seems the source for the prophecy that Christ would be a Nazarene comes from Isaiah.  Here is the prophecy and here are the fulfillments in the NT: Isaiah 9:1-2 [1] Neverth…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Happy Birthday Hailemikael.  May your day be filled with God's love, joy and peace.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] 1) Cain built the first city and it was called Enoch after his son (Genesis 4:17) 2) I believe the answer to this is 120 years (Genesis 6:3).  However, we see that man still lived much longer than this even a…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=He Wept link=topic=5376.msg74766#msg74766 date=1185207011] oh, yea, that's true. and also, Moses wanted to see God and God only let him see him from the back, and Moses, when he saw him, he said …

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Yes.  Angels are also bodiless spirits, so they also do not possess a gender.

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=He Wept link=topic=5376.msg74763#msg74763 date=1185206349] because nobody could stand seeing Jesus. you will go blind. [/quote] This isn't entirely true.  Many people have seen Christ and not go…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Just a correction here.  God does not make anyone go to Heaven or Hell.  The person chooses where they wish to end up, and God either joyfully (in the case of Heaven) or sadly (in the case of Hell) respects th…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Ya habibi, You are too kind.  Trust me though, I want to spare Matt the horror.  It's for everyone's own good, really.  :D

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=MIY link=topic=5576.msg74739#msg74739 date=1185152872] Happy birthday, [/quote] Thank you kindly.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] In a previous thread started by you as well, you can see what was said.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I believe you can find answers to your questions here.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] This is a bit long but beautiful: Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?  For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he h…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Awwwww, shucks you guys.  You shouldn't have.  It's a shame there isn't a smiley that blushes, but I guess this one will have to suffice:  ;D.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I am using your 'definition' of attraction to explain how one can be attracted to a non-human entity.  You defined it as being 'drawn to someone or something'.  Thus, I still stand by my statements above.  Doe…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] "Attraction" is synonymous with "allurement" and "fascination". It hinges upon one being "drawn" to someone or something. Your attraction, as you call it, towards Jessica Alba, with respect, should be appropri…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Well that's why maturity plays a major factor in all this.  A mature person is able to look past the external beauty and see the internal beauty.  Thus, they won't be overwhelmed by how gorgeous a person is to…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] On the internet you can pass yourself off as something or someone you are not.  It is very easy to develop a 'persona' that is not you.  It is vital to interact with a person face to face because body language…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Ahh, the infamous copticmatch.com rears its ugly head once more.  I fail to see the difference between this site and any other online dating site out there.  And, just like any other online dating site, I find…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You can find an icon here, although I'm not sure if this is the size you are looking for.  It is the second to last one at the bottom.
