ShareTheLord: No. I wouldn't phrase it this way at all. Be careful. You quote Romans 8:17, but that says: Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may a…

Has anyone seen this?

They are there to remind us of our death. I think it is healthy to be always reminded of our own death especially at this time of year. I've heard several times that funerals are more for those present than for the departed in that the prayers are m…

Qawe, No. I'm being Orthodox. There IS a reason why we have Funeral Prayers every year. The funeral prayers are for us. Its prayed on us. I just want to know what that reason is. And I need an educated, or intelligent answer. Any answer... so long a…

Mina, My opinion isn't biased. When someone says : "This is an answer I could accept" - it means that even the answer i'm proposing myself is not sufficient, but is better than what I've received. Its more "acceptable" than what has been proposed. …

I like this Tobit character
-
Good point Mina,But I think we need to do things with understanding and reason. If I'm being prayed upon the prayer of the dead, why should I have this prayer done every Pascha? Prayer connects me with God - correct? OK - why not use this time in pr…

How can you compare the two? The Holy Communion gives you strength. We are saved by Grace, and we receive these Graces through the Holy Blessed Sacraments; the main one being the Holy Communion. Partaking of this often as possible is very good for y…

Excuse me,but do you attend a Coptic Orthodox Church or a British Orthodox Church?

ma'alish, dear brother, it is ok now!pray for us:) lol...you like that stuff - don't you?? "Humble yourself before the Lord"? Arrrggh.. if i hear that song again....!! Yes, its ok now because the youth that started this crazy HTB are all married no…

sorry, i disagree the churches are 'very protestantised' in uk.this is not a big problem in the more than 8 churches i have visited / been a member of over the last 6 years. maybe it was a problem in one or two churches several years ago, but really…

For me, my current Church is beautiful. 1. Congregation Factor The congregation are all people looking for peace. Searching for peace, calmness in their lives. Their sufferings and stories impact us in a very positive way. They are the Iraqi/Syrian…

We really need unity with the EO. Our faith will simply spiral into an Egyptian Country Club for Christians. Orthodoxy has to transcend cultural divides - if you wish to truly make the Church into a house of prayer, a house of worshipping God.

Im so sorry, I was so envious that they won twice, that I had to talk about it. I need counselling.

God bless Bishoy Awad I've never actually seen this fellow in Church, despite also being from Paris. I'd have thought he'd have been a deacon. Vol Evol is indeed a beautiful hymn. Its lovely to hear the westernised accents when they chant this. Isn'…

Mina/anyone, My comment was on how this affects ecumenical dialogue between us. I didnt see anyone talking/commenting about that. As far as I'm aware, Sayedna Anba Angaelos mentioned that the talks are going well between us (and the EO). How can tha…

Hey Guys, I don't think the content of the video is worth getting into theological and dogmatic arguments. I would rather getting into those topics in the appropriate discussions which probably exist if you do a search...or you can always begin a ne…
-
Ya Mister Qawe! How are you doing bro? Well - that's not what they are accusing us of in the video. They are saying that we are denying the human nature. I think the term monophysism, for the EO, has a different meaning to what you are prescribing.…

Thanks guys. Im cutting back on Souvlaki as a sign of solidarity. I do agree, however, the Coptic woman is more or less just as a muslim woman. What's wrong with Muslim women anyway? They are good people. I hate this kind of generalisation. This p…

Hi Monica, I don't really understand what sin you actually did, or who is making you feel guilty of your past. You don't seem to have a past.
-
Hi Monica When you say that you are continuously reminded of your sins - who is reminding you of it? Other people, or yourself? There's nothing wrong with not forgetting your sins, or your past. But there's a problem of living in guilt of your sins …

I'd even like to add to what Mina was saying: When a muslim, even in the west, comes to ask to be baptised, the priest won't jump at the opportunity. He has to know why - what reason, and if its for marriage, that's a show-stopper. Of course your r…
-
You'd have to be baptised to become a Christian. You might as well ask the priest to baptise you in another name. If you keep your same name, I'm not sure it's a problem. The main thing is to be baptised. How do Copts treat Muslims? Well the ma…

lol... How are you doing my friend? Nope that's not why..
