I think HH was actually Bishop of Education. I think, however, that this role still falls within the "General Bishop" category in that he was not "married" to his post of Bishop of Education. I may be wrong, but I believe Bishops can only be "marrie…

thank you Safaa. Thats exactly the passage from Ezekiel 18 which answers the question of how we do not carry our parents sin. To answer your question, we DO NOT CARRY Adam and Eve's original sin. We DID NOT INHERIT their sin. We only inherited Adam…

we do not carry our parents sin, so you have no reason to worry mickeyy231! I highly recommend you read the Ezekiel 18 which very clearly and direcly answers this question. And a very common misconception that we have is that we inherited Adam's s…

heres a thread from coptichymns.net which addresses this issue, and lots of good advice was given: http://www.coptichymns.net/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-3861-highlight-masturbation.html also, even though these are not Coptic websites, they are Christian…

ok, from what I understand, the Holy Synod selects three possible candidates from the monastic order (as in monk, bishop or metropolitan), and then after several days of prayer from the coptic people, and clergy, a small kid selects one of the three…

thank you for your replies guys. I think I heard a similar saying Coptic Defender...something like "while all the theologians are debating various theological points, all the simple people are going to heaven." I guess the main point i was trying …

yeah in Egypt homosexuality altogether is illegal. at the time they had caught a boat with around 20 homosexuals who had gone on some kind of cruise. they justified it by saying it was culturally unacceptable, and they are not willing to change the …

ServantofJesus, your argument makes good sense, but I was under the impression that Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit in this verse. That unless He departed, the Holy Spirit would not be sent to us. From my understanding, the Holy Spirit is o…

I really can't believe we are even discussing such a topic. To make a few short points though: Brain, you are saying that girls were created to serve men. If this is your starting point, Christ also said: "Instead, whoever wants to become great…

Just to stress one of the points ServantofJesus made, in their creed they say "the Holy Spirit which proceeds from the Father and the Son." This of course is a theological difference between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. The Orthodox …

I don't know if this was mentioned in the previous thread, but just one short comment. The Church does allow abortion in ONLY ONE case: if carrying through with the pregnancy (and of course birth) poses a significantly high risk to the mother's life…

why don't we all stop judging. whether its FARQ1 or GJI kefaya keda! its really no big deal. I may be the one confused, but from my understanding this is a CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX forum, so lets keep the topics and conversations that way. lets try to mai…

I really think by saying "is dancing right or wrong?" we are asking the wrong question. The question we should ask is will it bring us closer to our Lord Jesus Christ? Will it help us please Him? Will it help preserve our purity? Will it make us hol…

Personally, if I was in your position, I would ask my father of confession about the whole situation. I think he can guide you best and tell you exactly where you should go from here. May God guide you to make the right decision. Beshoy

yes, if we can only put aside our pride, this argument would never have heated up. once again, i repeat my point - the fact of the matter is that NONE of us actually knows "Bush's heart," (or Kerry's heart for that matter) as you guys have put it. E…

My dear brothers and sisters, this discussion is honestly becoming too heated, and unproductive...I would even go as far to say un-Christian. Forgive me my weakness and many sins, I do not mean to offend anyone by this statement, and I do not mean t…

if you want to see the facts, try this completely independent website mentioned in the debate between Cheney and Edwards: http://factcheck.org/ (not .com or .net, as it was wrongly said in the debate) and from what I've read, this suggests both …

I just wanted to add a note to this discussion. I think what "servantofJesus" said was very important about not wanting to praise someone too much to the extent of making them proud is very important. Theres a really nice story, which many of you …
