Hi Samuel, Speaking against Christ is a sin. However, when you are faced with it, is to treat the person with kindness. When you show your Christlike actions, the person will be more compelled to control their tongue and think twice about their …

Dear GJI, Love, as Jesus mentioned it, for you enemies was not to be taken lightly. Jesus wanted all of us to love each other with the love that he loved for us. Although it is hard to do that, I think that the effort that would be made, would sh…

It doesn't really matter who started the forum, or whatever. The topic is odd, however, as people with egyptian families, it is something that is not overlooked when the time comes to marry. So, I think its great that we have an opportunity to learn…

Hi, Actually, the church does not look down upon it, however it does not promote it. It seems, that the church has taken a neutral stance on this issue. I just want to clarify, that having children with a cousin, does not institue retardation, or ot…

I think that would be something great to have on the site!

Hi Ahmos, thanks for the link, but its all in arabic?!? Does the site have an english section?

Sounds Good!

Im not sure, but I think that the whole male only thing, is based on tradition. Also, men are the only deacons. There are also deconesses, as Ray posted before, that serve within the Coptic Church.

Hi Everyone, Dating is something special, it is looked down upon, beccause its use has been abused. I must emphasize, that if dating is used for the right reason and in the right circumstance, then it can be very beneficial.

Hey Marcleno, I understand that very well. I never said that baptism didn't matter. It does matter. However, how can someone say that they live through Christ, and in his footsteps, if their actions are purely sinful. The way see it, being Christ…

Hey Marmoora, Im sure your parents wouldn't be too upset if you told them about it, plus its a cross. But, I could be wrong. Yeah, tattoos arent the best idea...

Wow, these are all great ways to count, but I think that it really doesn't matter how you count, as long as you get them done, and understand the meaning of it.

Hi, Paradise is a waiting place, like a lobby. Except, its not like purgatory in the sence that there are no chance to be had, your either in or your not. In purgatory, you have a chance to fix your mistake. With the notion of paradise, its that o…

Hi Princess, You are absolutely right, and your questions are more than valid. I have a brief explanation, that you may find to be helpful. God, also called Father, is just like a Father, with more love. He created you and I. Think of how many m…

Hi Karfaw, Im not so sure that Jews hate Jesus. They put Him in the same category as most other religions, a Holy Prophet. The second coming does not involve just the repentance of the Jews, but also of anyone who does not believe in Christ and …

Dear Iraqui, Becoming coptip is not something easy, fun, or care free. It takes true knowledge of the faith, the church, and oneself. If you would like to contact a priest, let me know what state and city you are in, and I can helo you get in c…

Hi, Once again I have to agree with Mark. But, I want to stress, that "admission" into heaven is based on one's deeds and innocence; "For of these [childeren] is the kingdom of heaven". So, I think that if you have the opportunity to discover Christ…
-
Hello all, Mark is 100% correct. I think, that many people want to know where God came from, but the answer isn't satisfying. As you said, God is the alpha and the omega, the begining and the end. However, this doesn't make much sense to people. God…

Hey GodsInMyHeart, Just asking, I have an article by a protestant pastor from Britain. In his sermon, he discusses how Jesus is an entity of God. he also discussess how that notion can be accepted or dismissed. If you would like to see it, E-mail…

Hi Iraqui, being a true Christian, does involve many technical things; such as reading the bible, following the teachings of Christ, and learning and living the values of the church. However, many people believe that is is all it takes. In reality, …

Hey Matt, please send me the article. Regarding the whole end of the world thing. The signs have evident for the last 3 centuries. It is something that we can not say is going to happen, or is not going to happen. Remeber, that God has no time. We s…

Hmmm, I'm not too sure, but I think its a Catholic thing. That doesn't mean that this can't be beneficial, it just means that its not "official".
