The coptic church neither refutes it nor necessarily accepts it. Some fathers such as st. anthony and st. cyril (if im not mistaken) speak of these toll houses. Refer to this topic: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=8290.0

Buddy, Don't trust anything online. If you want real help you should go to your priest. Follow the Orthodox Study Bible and the interpretations of the early fathers. You never know what a websites ulterior motive is and who is really sponsoring it.…

Superman, You seemed to have answered yourself about the people you've hurt. If you can no longer contact them, then just forget it. Let it go, God knows the heart. I understand for the retreat to either monastery would be difficult but sometimes t…

I've heard that music is like the manifestation of the inner feelings of the soul. So what you are saying makes sense. You can even think of it in the same sense as the tunes in our hymns. What you are doing is very idealistic in any sense, using s…

Superman, May God have mercy on you and give you the peace of heart that you are seeking so earnestly. I don't feel I should even respond, as you are in a better position than I even. However, you're post is spewing with distraught and I would hate…

Theologically, Jews have no rights to the land. God gave it to them, however many years ago. You won't find anything theologically speaking about rights to land. All of the fathers speak against them but in a spiritual state not necessarily about la…

No I didn't, but I can't remember who said it. Lol sorry

Suicide is never the answer, just take a step back and think about whats goin on. What is the real root of the problem, is a C-say 30-40 years down the road really going to make a difference? I doubt it. Its just a grade buddy. There is no reason to…

I think you are confusing abouna faltaous with abouna fanous(which i did until i was corrected) Abouna Faltaous is a different recent saint. Abouna Fanous is still alive i believe

The BOC is a daughter church to the Coptic Church, their patriarch is HH as well. I'm sure in a church you will most likely find british people, maybe Father Peter can answer if its mostly british or copts as well?

Also on a side note, just because you have received forgiveness does not mean you shouldn't remember that you are a sinner. I know a man who kept no long strict fasts, no vigils, did not sleep on bare earth, imposed on himself no other specially a…

Why would humility outweigh love? Love is a sign of humility. You essentially cannot have one without the other. If you love others you will put them first and above yourself and your needs. Humility is not about crying your eyes away because of sin…

There are many, if you are looking within the Coptic Church only, Abouna Tadros Malaty has numerous commentaries on both books of the Old and New Testament. If you are looking for straight patristics, there are a few that you can on www.orthodoxbook…

No, not every church has a throne (even in diocese or abroad) In the US there are only 3 Dioceses. The southern, LA and the newly established one for eastern seaboard states( North carolina, south carolina etc) Other than that, the remaining churche…

The theif is not a good example as last minute, there is no point where someone is saved, salvation is a life long struggle. People have said well, the theif wasn't baptized didn't confess and such like that. However this is simply not true, the the…

Any service the deacon does is a connection between the people and the priest, just as mina said, the deacons may do things on behalf of the people. I don't know if you are aware of this, but during the pauline and acts procession of incense, the de…

If you notice the in the Cathedral the Deacons do not face forward(which is correct) in bigger churches, the deacons are supposed to be on both sides of the Church and respond to each other. North and south side. At least for the beginning part of t…

Refer to this link for the text of the hymn, its not a taraneema, its a communion hymn to be chanted on Thomas Sunday. http://www.coptichymns.net/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-9064-p-70290.html#70290

Look up Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus, the most prevalent jewish historian at the time of Christ, who actually confesses that Christ was truly the Son of God

I really don't have anything else to add to this topic, but i have to comment on what Marmoura said. [quote author=Marmoura99 link=topic=9104.msg113452#msg113452 date=1271525786] Another thing that I'd like to add is that when you find the right gi…

Father Peter, I think you misunderstood mina, He's not saying that rule is annoying, He's saying people who don't follow that rule annoys him. Pray for me and my weakness

There is a difference between specific papal hymns and annual hymns that mention HH(and then you would obviously mention the bishop of your diocese). I'm speaking specifically about Nisavev. Do not get me wrong this isn't an attack on HH at all, I l…

ilovestmark, that is not true, just because lately in the US and in Egypt the tradition(small t) is to say nisavev does not mean that that is the correct thing to do at all. Nisavev is strictly a papal hymn according to the rites, to be said in the …
