Jesus got baptized and circumcised to fulfill the law. He wouldn't have been able to teach ‎the Jews if he didn't fulfill their law and tradition. It is kind of like stooping down to their ‎level. ‎ Also, circumcision was a promise or a covena…

During our youth meeting a few years back, the topic of dating came up, Then this guy ‎got up and gave us some words of wisdom. He said, something along the lines of, So you ‎think it is innocent, you start dating, all you do is go to the movies…

Guys, what about a person who is going into an opertion, they usually take communion in the morning Don't they bleed during the operation? What is up with that?

If you confess, then that is an attempt to repent, then you are not blaspheming. It is like you commit a sin, but refuse to confess about it. You know it is wrong, you keep doing it and you do not want to confess or even attempt to stop. Obviously…

Main Entry: blas·pheme Etymology: Middle English blasfemen, from Late Latin blasphemare -- more at BLAME transitive senses 1 : to speak of or address with irreverence (From www.m-w.com) Blaspheming against the Holy spirit is meant to deny the wor…

The book of Tobit (Tobia) is part of the "apocrypha" or the missing cannon books. Our Church recognizes it and use it. There are different reasons why they are not part of the Bible (Most common reason is that most of these books were written durin…

lol, things like that make me laugh. My sister was in a Catholic university, in a theology class, they decided that Saint Paul didn't write 9 out of the 14 epistles he wrote. So I guess the conept is not new, they are trying to discredit the Bible.

Our Orthdox belief is that Virgin Mary was a Virgin, Before, During and After her pregnancy with Jesus Christ. the word "till" and in arabic "7ata" does not mean that it ended when she gave birth. I am trying to think of an example where the word "…

Jesus Himself warned us that this would happen, here is an exmaple: "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect–if that were possible. " (Mark 13:22) Lets not get deceived by the devil he…

Mr. Coptic Orthox, Priests of the same Rank (even Hegamns and priests) are not allowed to give each other communion. You will not see them give each other The Blood either. Same thing with Bishops, if two bishops are praying a liturgy together, they…

I agree with Hos Erof, Not all men are allowed in the alter and if we follow tradition only Readers (Ognostos) are allowed to read the Bible (or any other reading) These are the second degree Deacons. And as you may or may not know, but Deaconship i…

In the old chuch (Apostles time) all who served were ordained decons that attended to the ministry. Even the Ladies nowadays are called deaconess. That doesn't mean that you can serve in the alter or whatever, but anybody who serves God in His churc…

I don't know where I heard it, but I heard it is wrong. Just like God wouldn't allow the relics of the saints to be distroyed after thier death. I could be wrong though. Guys, if anyone can ask an abouna and get back to us, that would be GREAT!

Ladies and Gents,‎ A sin is a sin is a sin, etc....‎ I don't know where exactly Christ said that, but He said something to the effect of if you ‎don't kill but you commit adultery, then you broke the law. All sins are equal in the eyes ‎of G…

Youstina, I used to have a Verizon LG phone as well. Verizon limits you to how you can get ringtones. The idea of the Cord as Egyptianmatt91 suggested will NOT work. You would have to wait out your contract and upgrade to the Motorola 710 (that's wh…

Sister, Judas has always been bad. The Bible tells us that he used to steal from the money box "But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and give…

Copt4life, One more thing to add, "St. Mary as co-redeemer". They believe that Virgin Mary is equal or almost equal to Jesus. I have some family members who like to go to the catholic church for the socail asspect of it. I went to visit them last …

Ladies and Gents, below is a picture with the link highlited. Scroll all the way to the bottom and look on the left side, its number 4. I couldn't download it though, don't know why. Hope this helps.

Coptic4life, Interesting Questions. I think the reason why there are parts that are said inaudiobly simply becuase they want to give the congregation a chance for individual prayers. A chance to contemplate on parts of the liturgy. Just a thought. …

Chris, I am not quiet sure I got you. Are you saying something is missing from Arabic to English, Or Coptic to Engilsh, or something got omitted all together? I never heard of the Doxology for the Liturgy. Please elaborate. Thanks, GBU

Rina, another one of your GREAT posts. You make us think (in my case, it kinda makes my head hurt a little) Anyway, here is the deal. We sin everyday, whether we know it or not. As my father of confession once told me, "if we were to see every sin …

This is an awsome topic. It makes us think of our eternal life. I was told once that God will take us at our best time. I guess one way of looking at it is to think that this is not your best time in life and you are not ready and you should try har…

Youstina, The whole chapter is a prophicy about Jesus Christ. It is like Isaiah was standing there when he wrote this chapter. Discribing in detail how Christ will bear our sins, He will die for our iniquities, He will die among sinners, He will be …

Just wanted to share my take on this. I am no scholar or an authority by any means, but here is a simple way of looking at it. Jesus was a complete human in every aspect of His life except sin. Some of the verses mentioned here are spoken from His …

that is GREAT that someone took the initiative to do that. reminding people of God's love. I think when Jesus said this verse, the jews used to think that they were only God's children and the chosen ones. so He said, "And other sheep I have, which…
