Sorry G.J.I.
I tried to post earlier, but it failed. Here is how to do it. You need to go thru 4 steps:
1) Install Arabic in windows
2) Enable Switching between arabic and English in windows
3) Enabling office to do arabic.
4) Enabling numbers in o…
Let me ask you guys a diffrent but related question. Say you are of age to be married, how would you know God's choice? That question came up and I can't find an answer for.
Here is a story I heard related to the topic.‎
St. Abou Makar was getting older, so they assigned a young monk to help him in his ‎travels. As they were walking one day in the early morning, the young monk was walking ‎ahead of the saint. He s…
youstina04,
what the mean of 7/4
7&4 are simple what we say during that time, 7 for seven Theotokies (Theotokies comes from Theotokos which means Mother of God, Theotoky a Praise for the Mother of God, Greek or Latin orgins) and 4 Hooses or Cant…
MarMar, I don't know if any replies now are still relevant, but here are the major ‎differences.
Awad was right, just one comment. At the Council of Nicia (I think) they named the ‎Patriarch of Alexandria to be the Pope, one and only. What star…
He also didn't need to fast but did it to set an example. Didn't need to be circomsized, but did it to set an example, etc... Alot of the things Jesus did was to set an example and to show us what and we should do and follow His footsteps. He couldn…
Baptism is one of the Church Sacraments, the First one that any believer has to go thru. It ‎is only officiated by a priest. Here is more about baptism, it may help clarify things better ‎than I ever could.‎

Youstina04,
I found this online that I thought might help you. It has all the extras in order.

The reason there is confusion is it used to be that we say all 7 Theotokies with thier before and after expositions. But now, e…

Never heard of this story before. Besides, Virgin Mary, after giving birth to Jesus, she ‎would have stood in the line for the Married (cuz Joseph will be with her).‎
As for Samuel person, I think you are talking about St. Simeon, His s…
Roaming,
Revelation is an AWSOME book. I think everybody shies away from it because we don't understand it. One thing I recomend is buy the commentary by Father Tadros Malaty and read them side by side, he explains ALOT.
One tip though that I got …

I like your example. One thing I would like to mention is our Coptic church encourages ‎us to baptize our children ASAP. We do NOT wait for a special priest, going to a specific ‎church, or waiting to go to Egypt. In fact, that was broug…
IF this was a poll, Pope Kyrelos will have the majority here. I think it is because he is a ‎modern day saint where some people met him or knew him personally. I LOVE Pope Kyrelos.
We learn a lot from each saint, and that is one of the reasons w…

This reminds me, A few years ago they asked H.H. Pope Shenouda about a miracle in ýIndia where they have this statue that if they put a bo…
Islam in a nutshell is based on Judaism and the Nestorian Heresy. Its a shame that people ýactually believe in such false and Absurd ýideology. ý

So there are intellgent Muslims, umm, I wonder, when are they going to convert?
Jyaft, thanks for the post. If we start talking about the contradictions of Islam, or the mistakes of mohammed, we will be here till kingdom come. (Actually, we were th…
It goes from page 925 to 930. and I can't think of another hymn that has the same tune. Its a bit up-beat, kinda fast. Mena, if you know another hymn that has that tune, please post.
Sorry Guys, I have an aunt with that name, Iqbal. I just assumed it was a Ladies name.
Either case, I am sorry, didn't mean to offend you, and whoever you are, YOU ROCK.
jfranklin, Awosome post.

ýYour quran is a complete contradiction, regression, digression and perversion of ýthe truth contained in the Holy Bible.ý
If I was to look back and forth trying to sum up Islam in ONE sentence, I couldn't have ýsaid it BETTER. Amen to that …

ýI think it's imprtant to understand that Islam is not a religion but is in fact an ýideology.ý
ý1) You are right in saying that Islam is not a religion, its an ideology. Religions tie people ýwith God. Islam sometimes fails to do so. (By th…
