Hello, first of all, it's sis ;)
second, I am very much aware of the books some muslims write about the copts, and if you look closely you will see that I mentioned them in my former post
However, the hypocrisy lies in the fact that in Egypt Copts…

QT,
I see what you're saying. There are, as you are probably aware, different levels of fasting. For some people, just not eating the real deal is a hard struggle. But that is…
I don't think either is the 'wrong' way, I think you should check out this site: www.orthodoxunity.org
there you will find a shared statement between the two churches along with other orthodox churches..
God bless

true, because I know copts who say: I'll pray to the Virgin Mary (this may give people from other religions/denominations the wrong impression)
maybe because they relate to her more, or to any other saint for that matter, since they were human …

Father, could you explain this in Christ's situation..
Being a Person(Hypostatis) in the Trinity, coessential (of the same Nature) with the Father and the Holy Spirit, was Christ then merely Spirit? Soul? Mind?
And when He united with the human na…

GArgiriadis, I'm very sorry to hear what you've been through as a non-Egyptian coptic..

Ok mabsoota, I'm sorry, forgive me, I must have misunderstood you

There are many faults in this article... so I don't know how trustworthy it is, the Pope can't have excommunicated people for claiming they were in direct contact with God! We all are supposed to be in direct contact with God!!!

You alone cannot do anything
