[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] In the Coptic church, there are no such restrictions. Women can wear trousers, skirts or dresses. Of course, the length of the dresses and/or skirts should be appropriate, but other than that, there are no restrictions on w…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Interesting question. Yes, Christ was born sinless. He was not born of the seed of man, but was conceived by the Holy Spirit. That, and the fact that His divinity united with His humanity ensured that not only was He born …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] OwohNaiNem, I believe you are thinking of another St. Paul, the apostle of Abba Antony. The St. Paul in the original post is St. Paul the Apostle.

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] While I realize this issue has probably been settled by now, I just wanted to contribute something. There is a great danger in taking verses out of context, and that is why it is vital to not only read the entire chapter a v…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I found this article by H.G. Bishop Mettaous which I hope you will find useful.

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] habesha, Forgive me for prying, but how are you and your fiancé getting along now? I pray you were able to resolve whatever issues you were having.

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Baptism is symbolic of death and resurrection in Christ. This is clear in the writings of St. Paul where he says: Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] maybe another way to look at the verse is how knowledge can be hard to handle. don't forget, we'll be judged on what we know and what we acted upon that. This is a good point. It's a fine line we tread. We will be judged for…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Mina, Vassilios already stated that we are not in communion with the RC church, and I'm sure he is very familiar with the fact that we are only in communion with fellow OO churches. His question was more about the affects (…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I guess I should elaborate a bit more. Children are very curious by nature and do in fact ask a lot of questions. However, if they are told something by someone who is older than they are, they do not often question it. Th…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Here is a verse that I think is pertinent here and reflects the importance of asking questions: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] you have adopted societies view Yes, I have adopted society's view, but please note I did not complete the rest of your quote as that is not entirely true. I adopt society's views when they in no way, shape, or form conflict …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] don;t you generally love someone becaus eof what they give you/do for you!? ... Definitely not. If you love a person because of what they do for you, then it's a self-seeking love. You get something out of the relationship a…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] good for you son....... First off, was this really necessary. I'll tell you the same thing I told vassillios: I am not your son and do not refer to me as such again. but as i stated before hand this was the response to a si…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Dear John, I was hoping you would post in this thread and I'm glad you did. You are a wise father and your daughters are blessed to have you.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] You can see how many you have posted either in your profile or by your posts in any thread. Usually it says: 'Posts' followed by the number.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] That's a shame. I guess it's just so much harder to unify in a language that covers so much of a large area (i.e. the churches are so scattered). I guess what made arabic so unified was the fact that initially the entire ch…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] The more you post, you will see your rank change. after like 100 or so, you become a junior member after 800 (i assume) you're a full member and so on.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I see what you're saying. But if we came up with one standardized translation and then just distributed to all the churches, that might make things easier. I don't know though, it is almost certainly going to be a lot of wo…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] We really need to work on making all the songs in english with the same lyrics the way it is in arabic. It will make singing them so much easier.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Perhaps you misunderstood what I'm referring to. I was talking about the lyrics I posted and the ones you linked to. They are the same song, but the lyrics are slightly different.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] When you kiss you are allowing a guy to have privilege over your body. I totally disagree with this statement. What sort of privilege are you granting over your body? This isn't sex we are talking about, it's a kiss. Sex i…

+ Pi` [quote author=copt4eva link=topic=5105.msg69571#msg69571 date=1176288781] if in the bible it says that having a tattoo is wrong how come us (the coptics) are allowed a cross on our arm. isnt this like making an exception. i dunno but thats …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Isn't it funny how the same song has two different lyrics. :D

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I just found the lyrics: EARLY SUNDAY MORNING Very early Sunday Morning, While the people were asleep, Jesus is risen declaring, He is the Lord of heaven and earth. (2) Refrain: Resurrection is my song, Resurrection gave …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I think that's the wrong link.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] When you fall, rise up again. How many times? As many times as it takes. Every time you fall, confess. Then do your best to fight this sin. Try to find out when you are most susceptible to this sin and try and avoid such…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] [quote author=Hos Erof link=topic=5165.msg69537#msg69537 date=1176220465] hard question. There's nothing wrong with it per se, but look at it this way: [/quote] There's always a but, isn't there. :D [quote author=Hos Erof…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] The Liturgy of St. Basil dates back to the 5th century A.D. St. Basil lived from 434-466 in Cappadocia (part of Turkey now). His Liturgy actually shortened the one then in use (probably the Liturgy of St. James, which is still…
