[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6537.msg92584#msg92584 date=1215782147] [quote author=godislove260 link=topic=6537.msg92583#msg92583 date=1215781127] Well, we can't force people to believe what we believe in, we can only try to be good ambassadors…

Well, we can't force people to believe what we believe in, we can only try to be good ambassadors to Christ by our deeds and words (if possible). And most importantly we can pray, so how can you say: keep silent (are prayers worth nothing???). God …

The thing is : not all people share our beliefs... If condoms weren't easily available, that wouldn't result in less people having premarital sex, it would simply result in more unwanted pregnancies and thus abortions and more STD's. For people wh…

Well, technically everytime a woman ovulates and doesn't have sex, the egg is lost.. This is also preventing pregnancy. So if a woman has sex while using a condom, and the egg is 'lost' because it hasn't been used, I don't see the difference. So I …

there's a recording with his voice on the st mina monastery website (it's not a liturgy but in it he speaks of some miracles of St Mina and Pope Kyrillos the 6th) God bless Please pray for me

The pope being old and sick doesn't take away from his wisdom and lightness of heart... But I think your questions could be answered by a priest, especially your father of confession, maybe you should confront him about your doubts, which I think ma…

Congratulations, we are all rejoicing for a new member in the Coptic Orthodox Church... May the Lord strengthen you and guide you always God Bless you

Your english is far from poor, but it's just that this topic is like 5 pages long now, and I don't understand what your goal is, what you want to acheive by it. Since some techinques have already been shared, and as said, it requires dedication and …
-
Look Vas, I understand your concern and why you have put up this topic, I agree it's not right that a person should be saying words in prayer without understanding them. That's why many have given examples of how one should try to combine the two in…

Sorry, I just meant for him to ask the priest guiding him right now, and not to make any conclusions because dreams like that can be very deceiving. Especially since I doubt 50% of him wants to stay Muslim, judging the things he said about it. God…

Yeah, that's the one, we know him, he's such a good person, but I'm sorry I can't help you with a video of a liturgy by him... God Bless Please pray for me

As PopeKyrillos said, you shouldn't worry too much about this, dreams can be a message from God, but beware the devil can also play tricks with you. Mostly they're just random thoughts and are to be ignored. If you're not sure, you should ask your f…

I agree with londoncopt, I don't think we should carried away and start calling any girl talking to a boy as a sin. If she's mature and close to God and she feels no wrong feelings toward this boy, then I don't see the problem in her talking to him.…

[quote author=LondonCopt link=topic=6890.msg92373#msg92373 date=1215435434] I agree 100% with coptic pharaoh- it's the exact same advice my confession father gave me when I asked him about this. Have you ever heard the phrase "an idle mind is the de…

[quote author=clay link=topic=6892.msg92372#msg92372 date=1215435406] If they ask, that's it, the Holy Spirit may have led them to you. It is your obligation to become the vessel of God, and preach with humility, love and the guidance of the Holy Sp…

Do you mean abouna Raphael who is now a monk at St Mina's monastery in Mariout, of whom there is a picture on the St Mina monastery website??? God Bless Please pray for me

How did Arius die?
-
But the thing is: we always say: turn the other cheeck OR defend yourself I say why can't we do both at the same time??? When the servant hit Jesus, Christ didn't hit him back (although he could) so he turned the other cheek, yet he did not let …

Thanks superman.. God Bless Please pray for me

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92178#msg92178 date=1215023571] My dear friend Godislove, You have studied latin as a language. All European languages are based on latin.. u can see commonality. Coptic is far from obvious to our daily col…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92169#msg92169 date=1215019840] Like I said, JY is absolutely correct here - i mean, u cannot learn Coptic as a language UNLESS u speak it. There's NO way. The best thing we can do is just memorise the enti…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=5598.msg92158#msg92158 date=1215016558] Anyway, this is amazing that Anba Raphael doesn't say that verse. He's very wise. I like that. I find this bishop a blessing Mina. I mean, look at what he's teaching us: "DO …

Ok so you know you overdid it and you know you made mistakes.. there's no point in thinking about that all the time and feeling miserable since that won't solve anything. I would say give it time and space and concentrate more on your spiritual life…

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound hard, besides I was referring to the youth you mentioned who go to the protestant churches. Personally I haven't really enjoyed the catholic masses I have been to, with all due respect to the catholics, I hav…
-
Well, I'm a language freak too, and apart from the languages I speak and use everyday, I'm pretty good at Latin; Guess what? Latin is a dead language, not used actively anymore, yet if I were to go to a catholic church where latin is still used I wo…

I agree that it's not good to sing hymns of which we don't know the meaning, so I think first you read the translation to the hymn so you know what you're saying, then you memorize the hymn, and once you've mastered it well enough and don't have to …

Some claim the differences between Luke 3 and Matthew 1 (family tree of Jesus) are also proof of the gospels being made up...

Of course, may God help you and make you feel His presence in your heart... God Bless
