Mazza: F. Zakaria speaks in the name of Christianity, so it's either his actions and words attain to that, or they don't...and I'm not spreading rumors and would not dare talk about an abouna that way...read the rest of this post and look at his web…
thanks for that Iqbaal....
I'll remind people of Jesus with the Sameria...did he pelt her with harsh words? Although HE is THE GOD....think about it...
All I know is this....our way of life is based on LOVE....not our perception...no, but giving …
btw: Our Bible is not the only source of our faith and understanding of our Lord...the un-written parts of our way of life (as Anba Moussa teaches us) are also as written, and helps us understand the Bible more...much more....

Tayeb ok....how 'bout going to Egypt? Come on....I'm from Egypt? :'(
Well....who knows.....maybe some day? But let's do a better idea....why don't we all pray for all of us in our respective churches...even if it were on Mars? (Who knows? :D:D)
…
that's a big problem in all of us.....
We have to be very careful how we condemn ourselves and what we call in arabic "tadkeek" (plz somebody translate...I'm stuck :D)
We don't even think about them because the Holy Spirit in us has been silenced…
As much as you love your lord, as so much as you'll be willing to give up wordly pleasures for YOUR own sake, so that you may love Him more deeply....
Besides...many of the things you stated can be done BUT there's a prerequisite...basically, love…
I'm waiting for a reply on the question of leaving without knownig the whereabouts of that spouse....what'll the church do in this case....what did Her Fathers teach her? I honestly don't know....

The church doesn't abide by civil laws...the person is still alive until the church prays over him/her...but nevertheless I'm waiting for a formal answer....

First of all...EASY on ur language man....nobody deserves u losing ur eternity.
Try to look at Jesus Christ as a friend...try to stick to him as much as possible, as far as you can, with a father confessor to guide you in HIS church...

MarMar...if my mom had it her way, then it wouldn't be a joke...but no, that won't happen...and besides....that VERY late into the future....
About the side topic discussed...it's not that it's her cousin or not...I've seen many examples of great …
It's no different here, even though I'm almost 22 now....
No one has a normal family, and that's true too...Mom choosing my spouse, Dad about work, not leaving me to myself, blah blah blah...but when one sticks TRULY to his/her church, then God wi…
Generally speaking...MSN isn't really an excellent means of communicaton except maybe for casual chit-chat....any serious talk MUST be one on one....face to face....if MSN is used, HUGE rifts may happen, 'cuz it's completly different when you write …
Exactly....MarMar put it in exact terms...thanks :D

RFZ
Well....for starters:
How is it that he's close to God and u're afraid if u block him he'll do something outrageous? How is it that he never met you face to face except through a friend (?!) How is it that the only way he tells you his tru…
As Iqbaal stated everybody, (and thanks again, sir...), that in partaking communion with these "churches," we actually ex-communicate ourselves from our Church...let us all remember that....
Oh by the way....if somebody wants to REALLY partake real…
Long story...from Saint Athanasios the First (Pope no. 20) ...but during Pope Shenouda's time, the eritrians opted to have a seperate magma3...(seperate church authority) and thus this happened...but under a certain protocol...

Just a small note everybody...Anba Makarios once had this thought of him being the best in the world...so he was led to two married sisters who lived in a way that God Himself (Glory be to Him) said was better than Anba Makarios himself...however, a…

Why not use BOTH? Think about it....
David the King's heart, despite its failures, was one of the closest hearts to God EVER...that's why the Chruch chose to use David's Psalms...written with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to express what was wri…
