Like I said, if you feel that you have enough self control to go and not just gawk at stuff, that's cool. Don't go with a 'date' please - this can potentially lead to ruin later. I would not dance, either. It just is not a good atmosphere, in my opi…

Thanks alot for that nice list, karas. I understand that it is very easy to fall into an illusion...it happens to every one at this age. I have asked my FOC and he said to just build a strong relationship with God. This was a few months ago - I'll…

No, the only other Coptic family that lives near me is my uncle, and he only goes on Sundays as well. As for rooms, no, our church doesn't have any extra ones that I know of.

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=5773.msg78142#msg78142 date=1191979569] Did you ever think about spending the night on Saturdays after ashia and tasbeha so you could just drive twice instead of 4 times [/quote] But where, in the Church? And with …

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was going to ask Abouna how I can become more involved...but its that stretch of 55 miles that makes things so difficult :-\ Also, check this book out: http://www.orthodoxbookstore.org/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPR…

Doesn't everyone get a chance to learn? There is a problem, if you will. I live an hour away from my COC. I only get to be there on Sunday...it's not a good situation at all. I just began serving regularly in late July/early August as a deacon. I…

Yea, I'm planning for a 6 year degree in pharmacy as of now. It wouldn't really work otherwise...good to have something to fall back on.

Oh, I wasn't 'insisting', just suggesting. I was planning to find a college that teaches Arabic and take that for all four years of it in order to become proficient. They are thinking of bringing Arabic to the school district here - this way, I wou…

Aren't all of the classes at the HICS in Arabic? I'm good at Egyptian Arabic (speaking wise), but not, for example Biblical Arabic. I'm illiterate in Arabic, unfortunately.
-
Hence, I mentioned the lexicons, aka dictionaries ;)
-
Why don't we just teach the children Coptic? They can learn it. It isn't that hard...half of the letters are familiar to them anyway! I think that the Sunday school system should be standard from Church to Church - with each lesson being one hour. …

I don't know about that slow dancing statement. I just wouldn't go. Dancing could lead to stronger feelings (no, I don't mean bodily), which leads to dating, and so on from there. It just isn't a good situation to get into. I guess that Abouna cla…

[quote author=copticcross3 link=topic=5806.msg78067#msg78067 date=1191893396] yeah, true, BUT 1) theres the little translation book thing 2) it would motivate(almost force) people to learn more coptic, cuz right now, there really arent many people t…
-
I'm all for reverting, even, to a completely, 100 percent Coptic service (Litrurgy, hymns, everthing!). We must preserve our identity, and just the fact that Coptic is such a great language that everyone should learn is reason enough for such a reve…

There are a few problems with homecoming. 1. The dress that the girls wear causes young men to lust. This is pretty unavoidable. 2. I'm pretty sure that the Church doesn't allow 'young couples', 'boyfriends and girlfriends', etc. It's a purely Pro…

Stop with the 'severity' stuff. It just doesn't go. I don't see a reason for such a name... Anyway, if it's such a small scar, why does the girl care so much? If it was a HUGE scar that just couldn't be treated any other way, we go back to the same…

Well, of course, if it's an extremely serious skin condition or a third degree burn or something like that, then obviously, it's acceptable. If it's just for some one to look 'better' or something like that, then it's not. Basically, if the surgery …

Hmm...am I starting to sense some severe sarcasm in your replies? OK, done deal. Let's just drop it.
-
A sense of humor, maybe, but not in such a fashion or regarding such a serious matter/subject. Whatever you like to think though, it's your descision.

So, the human aspects of our Lord were dead, but the divine aspects were alive?
-
So, this Union occured when the Holy Spirit came to Mary and the Logos was placed in her womb, correct? If this is wrong, what is the full explanation, from before conception to conception to death? What was the state of the 1 nature at our Lord's …
-
Before the Union, wasn't there only one nature? That of divinity? The two became one when the Logos took on the body of a man. Atleast, that's what I would say if I was in the position of arguing this point.
