If I could only choose one, I'd pick English simply because that's the only language I can truly understand and pray in. I understand some Arabic and Coptic and the tunes are very beautiful yes, but those aren't languages I can actually pray in, and…

QT I don't think he looks through the dictionary during the actual service, especially if he's a deacon.

[quote author=coptic pharaoh link=topic=6851.msg93138#msg93138 date=1216536468] can you please share the website? [/quote] Of course. It's a Russian Orthodox website. http://www.orthodox.net/gleanings/sub_all_topics.html It has quotes on just about…

I came upon a site of quotes that address this issue. I picked out the two best ones that I believe will help answer our questions. The first one, from Saint Anthony, is by far the best supporting quote I've seen. When you close the doors to your d…

Yes, the priest can refuse to give the absolution for however long he deems appropriate. If he feels the confessor needs time to learn and repent and grow stronger, he will tell him to go do x and y things before he gives the absolution. It has happ…

I do not know of the official view, but if I may take an educated guess, I would say yes but to a LIMITED extent. See the following story: (it's from the Greek Orthodox Church, however, I would still think this story would be acceptable to us) A wo…

Err let's stay close to NJ. There are a dozen churches in NY, many in NJ, I think one in Delaware, and a couple in Pennsylvania. There's also a monastery in Rochester, NY that you might want to look at. Here's a list of all the Coptic Churches in …

It's never too late to learn it in another language, just pray that God gives you the strength, knowledge, and comprehension in order to learn it in a way that you may praise Him through it. [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92497#msg92497 …

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92494#msg92494 date=1215627046] THere is an answer.. but its too late for me to benefit from it. [/quote] Why is it too late to benefit from it?

I do not deny there are dangers, but keep in mind when we learned our Father, we were what, 3 years old? Surely a three year old cannot be expected to comprehend the meaning of those prayers at that age, they still can't even walk or talk correctly …

Ah forgive me, for my words were a bit confusing. I do not under any circumstance support just singing for the melody, in fact I disagree strongly with that, however, my main point was do not let not understanding the meaning spoil the entire moment…
-
Keep in mind, when we pray in any language, though we may not know what we are saying, the Lord understands fully and completely, and He will reward us for trying. Instead of trying so hard to focus on the meaning during the Tasbeha, relax yourselve…

Caleb! Welcome welcome! It is always a great thing to hear one has been searching for the faith. The Coptic Orthodox Church welcomes all people and rejects none. The process you will undergo depends on the priest you contact. They will be in charge …

[quote author=minagir link=topic=6723.msg89956#msg89956 date=1213043159] that's we we believe that after that she is in fact sinless. [/quote] I thought only the Catholics believe she is without sin?
-
Andrew, there is nothing wrong with that quote. It is not saying you aren't forgiven your sins, it's saying that you are AND you're also given a means of combating those sins in the future.

Actually, the Orthodox Church (both Eastern and Oriental) do not support condoms at all. Any mechanism that will keep the sperm from reaching the egg is not supported, however, I believe our church supports the birth control pill, for it does not im…

What's everyone's view on listening to liturgies while on a computer, at home, or while driving? My mother has told me that Pope Shenouda says we should not listen to the liturgy unless we will actually stand when we should stand, kneel when we shou…

Okay you guys got that step down correctly, but you're forgetting the first step, the choosing of the three candidates. The bishops of the church gather together, and they have a list of all the current monks in our church. They go through the list…

It's hard to believe that out of the 6,500,000,000 people we have today (and who knows how much more we will have in the future) only 144,000 of them will be chosen at the end.
