Agree totally, both people who can devote money and time to any kind of mission or service are valuable to the Church. As a person who has been doing this for a while, God's presence is really amplified when serving in a mission and it really doe…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=12362.msg144796#msg144796 date=1316164748] Hi Correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't it the Church in Fiji (Saint Verona's Choir) that came out with Agios in English? I, as well as countless of others, were impre…

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=12303.msg144391#msg144391 date=1315526837] It is the Coptic Church. It is our identity. In the day of judgement the Christ will identify who is with him and who is not, for he knows all. [/quote] I agree wholeheart…

There is no teaching anywhere that says one has to be Coptic to be saved. So long as a person leads an Orthodox spiritual life including belief in the Nicean creed and partakes of the sacraments in an Apostolic Church they will be saved.

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=9585.msg143164#msg143164 date=1313355467] I believe that salvation is found in the Church. What I also believe is that we know the visible boundary of the Church, but we do not know the invisible boundary of the Ch…

Its taken a bit of getting used to but I'm warming to it; I find it quite odd that they've tried to make the OS seem more like using an iphone but its definitely working. I'm bit annoyed that apple is charging more to Australian users than American…

I'm going to deviate from the trend here and say that there is no notion of giving a tithe or a first fruit in the New Testament; these laws have been superseded by greater ones. The purpose of the Old Testament laws was to teach us to offer the b…
