  • Man, I read this post about you being so fat you can't fit in a Tonia. I said its not like you to post such stuff. I knew it couldn't be you because he said that ABouna REFUSED to give him communion, and I know that You know for a fact that Abouna …
  • [quote author=Aegyptoc link=topic=14528.msg165374#msg165374 date=1373374134] Egyptians added the 'y' I believe. It is actually "Mar", coming from Syriac. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar [/quote] Thanks
  • But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands…

  • [quote author=lankyknight1990 link=topic=14492.msg165146#msg165146 date=1371646317] The Church fathers restrict Women because they are bleeding. They are not somehow unclean, or they wouldn't be allowed in the Temple At all, which was done in the Ol…
  • its not right that we continue praying in our ethnic languages in lands where we have immigrated. It really isn't wise. Whilst we are about to celebrate the Holy Feast of Pentecost, we should reflect on the birth of the Church. The Church was born…

  • So Bishop Athanasius who is a French Orthodox Bishop is actually responsible now for Coptic Orthodox priests in France or priests under his Diocese? Can you confirm? - personally, i think this is good news, but i just want to understand the small p…
  • Hi But what new title/change is there for Bishop Athanasius. Is he now a metropolitan?
  • The only reason why they cannot have communion during memstruation is because they are unclean. This is the respect we have towards approaching the divine sacraments. You cannot just finish gym workout , have no shower,  be sweating and go and take …
  • I've read most of the comments here. I like Mabsoota.. i find your attitude very Christian. We are called to be the light of the world, not the judges of it. Being the light of the world means we need to show the truth. We need a chance to show gay…

  • Thank you for these answers! Does anyone know the lives of the disciples or Apostles in a bit more detail than the "Acts of the Apostles" ? What happened to them? I know , for obvious reasons, what happened to Saint Mark in great detail, and St P…

  • I think you should take a look at Coptic Corner app first. I think the app has a LOT of hymns and the TV execution is very fast. Otherwise, its a great app. Well done!
  • a) Sleep early b) As soon as your alarm rings, just wake up
  • Its not bad. I think the interface on Coptic corner app is very good. Coptic corner allows you to store a book in iBook which is useful - if your app could do that, it would be great.  Excellent app still. Well done.
  • According to the church teaching , discharge of any bodily fluid renders you unclean. I'm not sure you can have the Holy Communion if that happens. You need to speak to your FOC. However, if you masturbate intentionally as a means of sexual gratif…
