And one more thing: I'm not apologizing for anything I said, because it is all true.

That THE most amazing post ever. Major kudos.
My question is this: how much has the language changed over the years? What did it sound like before the Muslim invasion? Because it's pretty clear that the Coptic that we read during the liturgies is read with an Arabic accent.
What I would like i…

I wasn't sure why Father Peter was calling them wicked at first, but he's right. Some of the pages on that site have very evil motives. He makes a lot of anti-Catholic clai…

Ioannes, I understand you.
People tend to label while in complete oblivion to what is going on right in front of them. I have heard of teenage girls, even younger than me, getting pregnant in church bathrooms while services are going on. And these …

You seem to always have a joke about Oprah to throw in there...and it makes me laugh every single time.
I agree completely, except I don't think anything can keep me from watching the Super Bowl. lol. But I usually flip through other channels or leave the room during commercials.
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the …

It is probably not the best thing to refer to him as "the Black". It is not because of being P.C., but rather, he is known by the Church as 'St. Abba Moses the Strong…
As far as I know, no. I think it's based on the belief that God does not return evil with evil. God corrects out of love, but will not punish until judgement day. The devil, however, may do that. Not as punishment, but to get you to attribute it to …
The two explanations I heard were of the Greek origin, as well as this:
"Then Jesus said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.' " -Mark 1:17
So the symbol of the fish also represents the Christians.
Thanks, everyone.
I do hope to become a psychiatrist. I think that if I go into this field, I can really excel in it. I think I have a natural ability for it. My problem is that I want to focus on non-medicinal treatments, and I don't want to restr…

But that doesn't fully explain why the Israelites had to do it. Also, it was very different in that time, in that killing could not be done from a distance. There were no guns, no weapons to launch projectiles. With combat being that much more direc…
