  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Man, I made the association! THe 1st public revolution (with Satan as the revolutionist) was in the garden of Eden! It was a poor association. Im saying that wearing an earing for men, started as an act of libe…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] My humblest apologies.  I didn't realize you were only after a 'cliff notes' understanding of certain verses.  Please pray for me.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Perhaps you've misunderstood.  I'm not talking about study bibles.  What I'm saying is that you can find books by, for example, Fr. Tadros Malaty on the book of Isaiah for instance, which is a commentary on th…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] To be honest, I don't see how your post about the French Revolution is in anyway related to the discussion.  But, that's just me.  And if you really want to get technical, Satan's first revolution pre-dates th…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I know that there are individual books of the bible that priests have written commentaries about in english.  You could ask your Church bookstore about them.  You could also probably find some more here at www…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Allow me to play devil's advocate if I may (and please bear in mind, this is just an expression, not meant to be taken literally): well heir is a natrul part of our human body that God gave us. that's for wom…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As far as I know, the Church frowns upon this sort of thing. Please pray for me.
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] please answer my second qustion about the new believers. Not sure what your question about new believers is.  They get sanctified and receive the Holy Spirit as a result of the Sacraments of Baptism and Chrisma…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I did answer your second question: That being said, Moses had no problem carrying the tablets after God Himself wrote on them.  The idea was whether a person was pure or not before touching something that had …

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] In that case, I would refer back to what kerestina said.  Holy, when describing an object, would be in the sense that it is sacred, held in high regard, and pure. Please pray for me.

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Well, before we start, let's look at what the word sanctify means: [quote author='thefreedictionary.com']sanc·ti·fy tr.v. sanc·ti·fied, sanc·ti·fy·ing, sanc·ti·fies 1. To set apart for sacred use; consecrate…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If I may add something, I think what Cephas means (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that the bible is not the word of God in the same sense that the two tablets of the ten commandments were the word of God. …
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] My bad.  Going back to your original post, the purpose of 1 and 2 Chronicles is purely history. Please pray for me.

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] When you are talking about 'anba bola', are you talking about St. Paul the First Anchorite, or St. Paul the Apostle?  Just so we're on the same page. Please pray for me.
